How to monitor compliance with established limits
1. Why control limits
Real efficiency. Without regular checking, you can inadvertently exceed thresholds and lose control.
Timely response. Notifications and reports help to adjust the strategy in time and avoid serious losses.
Behavior analysis. The history of limit achievements allows you to identify problematic patterns and adapt the budget.
2. Built-in casino tools
1. Push notifications and pop-ups
They are triggered when 80% and 100% of the limit on deposits, rates and time is reached.
Activation: in the "Responsible game" → "Notifications" section, enable all channels (app, email, SMS).
2. Daily/weekly reports
Automatic sending of statistics to the mail or personal account: the amount of replenishment, bets, losses, the duration of sessions.
Activation: Settings → Constraint Reports → select frequency and format (PDF/CSV).
3. Limit journal
The personal account displays the history of all changes and facts of triggering limits.
Check: "Profile →" "Responsible game" → "History of limits."
3. External control methods
1. Bank statements
Compare actual transactions on your bank statement or e-wallet with your deposit limits.
Convenient: export CSV to accounting programs or to a simple Excel spreadsheet.
2. Third-party expense trackers
Applications such as YNAB, CoinKeeper, Zenmoney: mark all payments in the "Games" or "Excitement" categories.
Configure notifications in the application itself when the specified threshold is exceeded.
3. Manual accounting in the table
In Google Sheets or Excel, enter the columns: Date, Replenishment Amount, Bet Amount, Loss, Session Time.
Formulas for calculating amounts by days/weeks/months and conditional formatting when approaching the threshold.
4. Audio and Timer Applications
To control the session time: start the timer on the smartphone with an alert in 15/30/60 minutes.
4. Step-by-step monitoring algorithm
1. Turn on all notifications in the casino: push, email, SMS.
2. Set up daily limit movement reports.
3. Sync your credit card with your spending tracker and create a Casino category.
4. Launch the timer application during each gaming session.
5. Keep a simple spreadsheet with amounts and times:
5. Example of weekly control
Actions: lower the rate limit or activate a strict session limit; Enable a hard loss limit.
6. Tips for effective monitoring
1. Set the warning threshold in the third-party tracker to 70-80% of the deposit.
2. Automate data collection: Integration of bank transactions with Google Sheets through special scripts (for example, using IFTTT).
3. Use a "reality check" - at the casino, include reminders about the time and the status of the limit every 15 minutes.
4. Conduct a weekly audit: Analyze which limits work most often and adjust them.
5. Involve the "gaming partner": arrange with a friend or relative to check the reports once a week.
7. Conclusion
Comprehensive monitoring combines built-in casino tools and external methods: notifications, reports, bank data and manual accounting. A clear algorithm of actions and regular checks prevent exceeding the limits, help analyze behavior and adjust the strategy in time. Maintain discipline - and the game will remain safe entertainment.

- Auto sum for the period;
- Coloring when 80% limit is reached.
- 6. Check the results in the evening: check the casino report, bank data and table.
- 7. Adjust limits the next day if actual values are regularly close to the threshold.
5. Example of weekly control
| Option | Limit Set | Actually Used | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily deposit | 100 € | 85 € | OK |
| Weekly deposit | €500 | €420 | OK |
| Session rate amount | 50 € | 60 € | Exceeded (hard) |
| Limit of losses per week | 200 € | 180 € | OK |
| Session time | 60 min | 75 min | Exceeded (soft) |
Actions: lower the rate limit or activate a strict session limit; Enable a hard loss limit.
