REASONS WHY I USE SEPARATE WALLETS FOR GAMBLING & SAVINGS

For a little period of casually using crypto, I barely ever saw the point of separating my funds into different wallets. It was complicated and unnecessary. A wallet, a seed phrase, everything in one place, that felt better. But after a little bit of interactions with online casinos, random promotions floating around, airdrops, fast-paced transactions, and so on, I realized that the convenience of your entire balance sitting in one wallet connected to the internet 24/7 is extremely risky. At that point, you're gambling with not just the casino, but with your funds too.
I remember a particular incidence that quite changed how I saw wallet security. Relax, It wasn't a dramatic hack. My wallet wasn't drained or my funds stolen. But the fear of that got to me. I apparently clicked on a link on Twitter that looked like a wallet checker tool. It was a recommendation, and the moment the site loaded, something felt off. Although, I didn't connect my wallet or sign anything, just the fact that my gambling funds and long term savings was on the same device made me uneasy. I immediately transferred everything to another wallet. Though nothing happened, but that 'almost' situation made me carefully think, ' I might be doing this wrong'.
So, I went on to create a hot wallet account for just gambling, only. This account holds only the amount I need for games, deposits, & bonuses. My main savings went into another account. This account can under no circumstances be connected to random site, apps or casinos. By just doing this, I high-key gained peace of mind. Worst case scenario, if I'm to lose anything it'll be the small amount set aside in the hot wallet.
Separating my gambling funds and savings into different wallets also helped me become disciplined in spending it. Alot of gamblers don't realize this but, having too much money at your disposal aids/ encourages impulsive decisions. Keeping everything in one wallet makes one to gamble more, probably losing more.
Anyways, with all that has been said, I'm curious to know how many of us here use separate wallets for gambling and savings & Do you believe it's necessary or unnecessary to have different wallets for gambling and holding.
I personally think this is something every beginner should know before making their first deposit.
