Define the maximum loss

Choose an amount that can be lost without affecting essentials. Treat the entire amount as at risk; do not plan to recover it with another bet.

Keep rent, bills, food, transport, savings and borrowed money outside gambling.

Define the stopping time

Fast rounds can make a session feel shorter than it is. Set a timer and close the game when it sounds.

If you feel pressure to continue or chase losses, step away and seek support.
