Session limits: what it is and how it works
1. Define Session Limit
Session limit is the maximum time or number of rounds (spins, bets) that you can spend in one game session. When this threshold is reached, the platform automatically blocks further bets or leaves the account.
2. Why session limits are needed
Prevention of "sticking." Reduce the risk of endless "one more spin" and burnout of self-control resources.
Stable leisure mode. A clear framework helps to devote enough time to other matters - rest, work, family.
Reducing the temptation to "catch up" with losing. If you doubt "a couple more minutes," the limit will not allow you to continue the game automatically.

3. Types of session limits
| Limit Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Time | Limit minutes or hours (for example, 30 minutes). |
| By number of rounds | Number of spins/rounds per session (e.g. 50 spins). |
| Combined | Both time and round. |
4. How to set a limit
1. In your personal account:
- Go to Responsible Play → Time Limits. 2. Select type:
- Specify the time (minutes/hours) or number of rounds. 3. Confirm your settings:
- Often you need a code from SMS or e-mail; changes can take effect with a delay (24 hours). 4. Check activation:
- Start the game and make sure that when the limit ends, it automatically withdraws you from the session or blocks bets.
5. Technical implementation
Session counter: the moment of entering the game is recorded on the server, the time and number of actions are monitored.
Lock Event - When the limit is exceeded, the platform sends a "logout" or "bid rejected" command.
Logging: The session history indicates the duration and number of rounds so you can confirm the setting.
6. Guidelines for selecting values
1. Beginners: 20-30 min or 20-30 rounds per session.
2. Experienced: 45-60 min or 50-75 rounds.
3. Adaptation period: Test for the first two weeks, then adjust by 10-20% depending on comfort.
7. Monitoring and adjustment
Weekly check: see in history how many sessions were interrupted by the limit; analyze whether the values are too hard or soft.
Bottleneck analysis: If the limit kicks in earlier than you planned, reduce the number of rounds or increase the time.
Combine with other tools: Combine with deposit limits, rate caps and reality check for maximum protection.
Session limits are a key tool for a controlled and safe gaming experience. They break the automatic betting cycle, help manage leisure time and prevent emotional breakdowns, turning excitement into mature and conscious entertainment.
