In my opinion, learning the rules and strategies before playing is an important step for a successful start. Article https://gazette.com/sponsored/types-of-online-gambling/article_2769a916-0187-11ee-bce5-4b6abf560b3d.html emphasizes that understanding the rules reduces the risk of mistakes and helps you develop your own strategy. Of course, you can play and learn as you go, but that increases the chance of losing quickly. I usually read the rules first and then try the demo mode to test the strategy in practice without risk.
