When to set the most stringent limits
1. After a series of big losses
Repeated losses provoke a "chase" for the game. The hard limit of losses immediately after three to five consecutive failures breaks this cycle and prevents uncontrolled spending.
2. After a sudden big win
The "go-to-plus" effect creates a false sense of limitless means. Set the tightest deposit limit and max rate so as not to "burn out" on an aggressive increase in rates.
3. When using bonuses and promotions
During promotional campaigns, players tend to ignore risks in order to fulfill the conditions of the game. Hard-limit on deposits and session time (no more than 30 minutes) will protect against overspending for the sake of a bonus.
4. During periods of emotional stress
Stress, fatigue, family or work problems reduce self-control. Activate the hard time lock (cool-off) for 24-48 hours and limit the bets to the minimum possible.
5. Before launching a long gaming session
Planning a marathon? The hard time limit (for example, 60 minutes) and the session limit of bets will not allow you to "freeze" for several hours in a row and will prevent cognitive fatigue.
6. When trying to bypass soft constraints
If you regularly disable soft-limits or raise them without "cooling," switch to hard-mode: hard lock without the right to change early.
7. In case of financial changes
Loss of income, unexpected spending or a budget crisis require instant risk mitigation. Set your monthly deposit limit at the minimum gaming budget.
8. When feeling a loss of control
If betting thoughts are constantly visited and you cannot stop playing - activate self-exclusion or hard limits on all categories (deposits, bets, losses and time).
9. After expert advice or loved ones
Psychologists and support groups recommend hard boundaries at the first sign of gaming addiction. Rely on an external recommendation and set maximum limits.
10. While testing new strategies
A new tactic or betting system always carries unpredictable risk. Before trying it, activate the hard rate limit and session total so as not to go beyond the safe budget.
Conclusion:
Repeated losses provoke a "chase" for the game. The hard limit of losses immediately after three to five consecutive failures breaks this cycle and prevents uncontrolled spending.
