This is something I've always noticed while playing at casinos. Playing for one's own money makes one decide twice before putting in all the wagers. When it comes to bonus money or free spins, there's more of a reckless approach. It's as if it is someone else's money, so it's okay to be a little riskier. This phenomenon has been referred to in psychology as house money effect, and people feel at ease with taking a relatively high risk with bonus or unexpected money, but there is something else. There are many bonuses that require wagering. However, these individuals often play more time than they had intended when they use bonus money and they end up playing their own money later on. Many players' experiences have revealed that although the bonus appears to be free money, sometimes it is an impetus to play even more. What do you think?
