How to Save Money On Your Gaming Hobby
Public Group active 1 year, 5 months ago
Gaming is a brilliant hobby because it is accessible to everyone, allows you to escape into a whole new world, and can even help you to foster new friendships with fellow gamers. Perhaps the only downside to gaming is that it can get expensive if you don’t keep on top of your spending. We’ve got some tips that will help you to ensure that your gaming hobby is as cost- effective as it can possibly be, without compromising on your enjoyment.
Pledge Allegiance to One Console
Without a doubt, the most expensive part of gaming is buying the latest console. In the US a PlayStation 5 costs $500, a considerable chunk of anybody’s pay-cheque, especially if you’re also going to buy the Xbox Series X ($500), and maybe have a gaming laptop too at around $1000.
Not even factoring in personal gaming devices, or more niche consoles like the Nintendo Switch, this would cost you $2000, before you’d even bought a game! Whilst choice is a wonderful thing if you want to get more out of your gaming hobby then stick to one console. If you’re only buying the PS5 then it starts to become more affordable, and you can spend some of that money that you saved on games, giving you way more bang for your buck.
Many people find that getting a good gaming PC is the way forward for them, as not only can you use it for gaming, but you can use it for work as well. Dual-purpose items are always useful and often end up being able to justify their higher price tag as they get so much use.
Play Free Versions First
If you’re a little unsure about whether you want to commit to buying a game or paying to play it then don’t fret. Games developers don’t want you to waste your money playing games that you don’t enjoy. It often results in having to process refunds or deal with complaints, which takes time and costs money. In an attempt to avoid this, many game companies have made it possible to play their games for free, so that you can test them out and see if you like them, before committing to a purchase.
One of the companies that gives users the opportunity to try out free slots before committing to placing a wager is Vegas Slots Online. The slot games work exactly like the paid-for versions, with all of the same features, but they obviously don’t pay out if you win. This allows customers to have a proper understanding of the game before they decide whether to spend their money. The full free versions are more common in the world of casino gaming, as developers for major console titles tend to offer free demo versions instead.
Look Out For Bonuses
If you are a fan of casino gaming then looking out for bonuses, besides free casino games can be a great way to save a little money here and there. We are always on the lookout for websites that offer no deposit bonuses, free spins, or any number of other helpful promotions that can keep your bankroll going that bit longer. Whilst these kinds of promotions can’t guarantee that you’ll win money, they’re a great way of helping you to play your favorite games for more time.
Of course, the casino industry isn’t the only one that offers these kinds of deals to its customers. A good idea if you want to be kept in the loop about bonuses and promotions is to sign up for the mailing lists of your favorite game providers. Often there’ll be sales that are specific to mailing list members only or times where you can gain an extra percentage on sale items. Some people are careful about signing up for mailing lists as they don’t like to be spammed into their personal email folder, but the simple way to stop this from happening is to create a free email address where you can direct this mail to. You can use it for all of your money-saving mail, and only dip into it when you’re looking to make a purchase!
