How to set casino limits correctly

Limits are not "chains," but a safety cage. They protect bankroll, cool emotions and make the game predictable. Below is a practical, simple technique: what limits to set, how to count them from your bank and how to build them into an everyday game.

1) Types of limits: what exactly to limit

Financial

Deposit limit: per day/week/month.

Loss limit: maximum minus per period.

wager limit: total amount of bets for the period.

Limit on output/output lock: prohibition on cancellation of applications ("withdrawal lock").

Behavioural

Session time limit (45-60 minutes), maximum number of sessions per day (≤2 -3).

Reality-check: A pop-up reminder every 30-60 minutes

Time-out/" cooling ": 24-72 hours break.

Self-exclusion: block for 6-12 months.

Technical

Max. bet (internal limit below table limit and bonus max bet).

Prohibition on quick deposits: deletion of saved cards/autocomplete.

Time of day limit: playing only in the "day window."

2) Basic formulas (without complex mathematics)

Let BK - bankroll (free money, which is not a pity to lose entirely).

Session Budget (SB) = 10-20% BK

Stop loss (SL) = SB (reached - end of session)

Stop wine (SW) = 30-50% of SB

Round bet size:

low volatility: 1-2% BK average: 0.5-1% BK high: 0.2-0.5% BK
Weekly loss limit: 30-40% BK
Rate recalculation - at ± 10% change in BK

💡 Rule: the rate never increases "in the dogon" - only according to the recalculation from BK.

3) Matrix of recommended limits

Profile	Deposit limit	Loss limit	Time limit	Bet per round
Novice (calm)	Day: 5% BK, Week: 15% BK	Week: 25-30% BK	1-2 sessions × 45-50 min	0,5–1,0% BK
Balanced	Day: 7% BK, Week: 20% BK	Week: 30-35% BK	2 sessions × 45-60 min	0,5–0,75% BK
High volatility	Day: 5% BK, Week: 15% BK	Week: 30-40% BK	1-2 "sprints" × 25 min	0,2–0,5% BK

💡 It is better to take the lower borders and gently lift later than immediately "fry."

4) Numerical examples

Example A (BK = 300)

SB = 15% → 45

SL = 45, SW = 20–22,5

Rate (average volatility) = 0.75% BK → 2.25 (round to 2-2.5)

Limits: day deposit ≤ 15, week ≤ 45; losing week ≤ 90-120

Example B (BK = 1000)

SB = 12% → 120

SL = 120, SW = 36–60

Rate (low volatility) = 1% → 10

Limits: day deposit ≤ 70, week ≤ 200; losing week ≤ 300-400

5) How to set limits at the operator (procedure)

1. Deposits/loss. Set daily/weekly/monthly limits.

2. Time. Enable reality-check (every 30-60 minutes) and session duration limit.

3. Timeouts. Plan "buttons" 24-72 hours for one click.

4. Max. rate. Set the internal limit below the table limit and below the bonus max bet.

5. Inference lock. Include a ban on canceling applications/auto withdrawal of profit share.

6. Frictional deposit. Delete saved maps/e-wallet and autocomplete.

💡 The limit reduction is effective immediately, the increase - with a delay (usually 24-168 hours) - is a normal "impulse protection."

6) Limits and bonuses: how not to run into

Max bet when playing is a sacred border. Make your bid limit even lower than the bonus.

Contribution of games to the wager (desktop/live often 10-20%) - reduce the rate by 20-30% of the usual one.

Timing: if the deadline drives violations, it is better to refuse the bonus.

7) Before-after checklists

Before the session

Recorded BK, SB, SL, SW, base rate.
Deposit/loss/time limits included, reality-check.
The KYC folder and test output are ready.
No bonus deadline/understandable max bet.

Pro tempore

2 micro pauses (s) of 5 minutes per hour.
I do not go beyond the base rate, no "once to raise."
With SL or SW - exit, I do not talk to myself.

Later

Log entry: duration, total +/ −, achieved SL/SW, emotions 1-5.
Profit> SB - partially withdraw (e.g. 50%).
If two tilt triggers - tomorrow "sprint" or off-day.

8) "If-then" scenarios (instant solutions)

If you reach SL or SW, I immediately close the lobby and set a timer for 15 minutes.

If the thought "you need to recoup" arose, then I turn on the timeout for 24 hours.

If the hand reaches to raise the bet "for the last time," then the end of the session.

If two bodily markers of stress (pulse/sweat/rush), then a break of 5-10 minutes and a glass of water.

9) Frequent errors and quick fixes

Error: limits "for the view," move easily.

Fix: reduce instantly, increase only with a delay (48-168 hours), in advance - on paper.

Error: one total limit "for everything."

Fix: Divide by deposit/loss/time/bet - everyone plays their part.

Error: Ignore bonus max bet.

Fix: Put the domestic rate limit below the bonus and table limit.

Mistake: night marathons "until I finish."

Fix: day/evening game window, hard deadline (for example, 22:30).

Error: saved cards and auto deposit.

Fix: remove - add "friction" to the impulse.

10) 14-day implementation plan

D1-D3: calculate BK, set SB/SL/SW, base rate; enable limits and reality-check.

D4-D6: remove autocomplete payments, configure timeouts and "output lock."

D7: one scheduled session, logging.

D8-D10: test output, verification of compliance with max bet/contribution of games.

D11-D12: with frequent triggers - a 20% rate cut.

D13-D14: weekly review, if necessary, adjustment of limits (increase - only through "cooling").

11) Mini card on screen (copy)

💡 SB = __% BK SL = SB SW = 30–50% SB Rate = __% BK 2 × pauses of 5 min/h
SL/SW → output "Recoup" → timeout 24 hours Any violation → end of session

The correct limits are the system, not the numbers "from the ceiling." Tie them to a bankroll, divide them by type (money, time, rate), fix "if-then" scenarios and use technical "insurance" - timeouts, output lock, reality-check. This is how you keep control, money and calm. Play only with available funds and follow the rules of your jurisdiction.
