Tips after a big win: how not to break

1. Pin the result right away

• Immediately withdraw at least 50% of the winnings to a secure account or card. This will lock in profits and reduce the temptation to "play on."
• Transfer "to reserve"

Leave 10-20% in a separate "reserve" wallet for future conclusions or good purposes so that they are not available for instant deposits.

2. Update bankroll and budget

Review the overall "gaming" budget

Reduce the amount you plan to spend in the next session and write down the new limits.

Break profit into a three-stage bankroll

1. Safety stock (withdrawn and unavailable)

2. Reinvestable portion (not more than 25% of winnings)

3. Provision for breakdown (reducing risk of excessive rates)

3. Set hard time limits

Immediate timeout

Pause for 1-2 hours: go for a walk, do other things.

"Next session" rule

Do not return to the game earlier than in a day, so that emotions subside.

4. Psychological techniques

Deferred deposit

If you feel a desire to "catch up" or "continue to carry," plan to replenish the account the next game day after analyzing the budget.

10-10-10 technique

Imagine how you will feel 10 minutes, 10 hours and 10 days after the next bet.

Output visualization

Mentally imagine how you spend or invest winnings outside the casino (travel, gift to the family) - it helps to switch.

5. Understand the illusion of endless luck

Independence of results

Each spin or round does not depend on the previous one - a surge of emotions can deceive the mind.

Negative expectation

Casino is set for profit in the long run; long stay after winning increases risks.

6. Practical control tools

Auto-timeout and limits

Set up a mandatory auto-time-out in your personal account for 24 hours after a major win.

Third-party blockers

Install Gamban or BetBlocker on all devices so that access is automatically blocked when trying to continue the game.

Game diary

Write down the details of the winning session: game, time, amount, emotions and subsequent decisions. This will help analyze behavior and avoid mistakes.

7. Support and self-help

• Ask your loved one to remind you of the limits if you want to "continue."
• Specialist consultation

If you feel that excitement can get out of control after winning, contact Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) or an addictologist psychologist.

Correct behavior after a big win is just as important as discipline in a losing streak. Record a profit, set pauses, update your budget and use technical and psychological tools to keep your winnings and keep playing safely.
