:://:::I discovered I was actually gambling from my real account and to be honest I had quite a good win that day.
So the reason I gambled without noticing at first is because, the two games were actually the same the only difference was the real money and fake money gambling.
But, that's what play money is all about, the only difference is that PM doesn't affect your finances, the other does, but you're making a mistake with play money, and it's the one that many make, it's not about a section or playing for an hour, it's about managing it for at least 1 (or 2,3,4,5,6) months, but players are always in a hurry and without experience they start playing with real money because in an hour they got positive results with play money, maybe that's your case.
In any case, crypto casinos offer a betting system greater than decimal, so in a correct management of funds versus bets size, you can start testing with patience, I always mention it, betting is a very long race, more than a marathon, but there are players who want to run the 100 meters.(*)
