Mini player checklist before session starts

The most expensive click is not "the wrong spin," but a start without preparation. This mini checklist is your short "security check": 8 blocks that take 1-2 minutes and put the game into controlled hobby mode. If at least one critical point is not completed, the session is postponed.

How to use a checklist

Walk through blocks A-H and tick the boxes.

If the block has a "red flag" - immediately "Not start" (see the final gate).

At the end - a 30-second version for very fast sessions and a card on the screen.

A) Legality and environment

I play within the laws of my jurisdiction and at a licensed venue.
Place and time are right: not night, no rush/business deadlines.
Notifications and instant messengers are turned off ("Do not disturb").

Red flag: questionable domain/application → Not start.

B) Money and limits

I only play for free money (not loans/not payday).
My Period Bankroll (BK) = ____
SB = 10-20% BK = ____
Stop loss (SL) = SB, stop profit (SW) = 30-50% SB → recorded in plain sight.
Operator limits (deposit/loss/time) included; output lock is active.

Red flag: no SB/SL/SW or they "feel" → Not a start.

C) Bet and game options

Rate = __% of BK, no dogon; recalculation at the ± of 10% BK.
The game/slot is selected with clear parameters: RTP ~ ≥96% (if available), volatility for my goal.
There are no bonus deadlines/hard max bet that push you to make mistakes.

Quick check of the "session price":

'EL spin ≈ × × rate (1 − RTP) '→ EL ≤ SB?
Red flag: EL> SB or unclear RTP/rules → Not start.

D) Time and breaks

Format: Sprint 25 + 5/Standard 45-50 + 10/( Focus 90 + 15 - only under low stress).
Timer is set; maximum 2-3 sessions per day.

Red flag: "marathon" plan/night sessions → Not a start.

E) Emo state (HALT +)

HALT+: Hungry, Angry/Anxious, Lonely, Tired + Stressed

Active ≤1 item.
My emo level on a scale of 1-5: __/5 (start only at 1-2/5).

Red flag: ≥2 HALT + or emo ≥3/5 → Transfer to later.

F) Technical security and payments

2FA is enabled, I only enter from a personal network (not public Wi-Fi).
Autosaved cards deleted/using virtual card with limit = WGL.
I ignore the links of "support "/" shares" from the letters; I do not transfer verification data.

Red flag: login from someone else's/public device → Not start.

G) "If-then" scenarios (ready to go)

SL/SW achieved → instant output, with a plus I output 30-50%.
The thought of "raising the rate once" at → end of the session, tomorrow the rate − 20%.
"Recoup now" → time out 24-72 hours.
2 bodily stress markers (pulse/sweat/rush) → pause 5-10 min.

H) Log and closing method

Opened the Template "Journal of 60 seconds" (after the session: total ±, emotions 1-5, one lesson).
Closing plan: at SW - partial withdrawal; at SL - walk 10 min and no deposits until tomorrow.

Final gate "Start/Not start"

Start is possible only if:

legality and environment ok;
there are BK/SB/SL/SW and limits are included;
rate -% of BK, EL ≤ SB;
Time format and timer ready
HALT + ≤1 and emo 1-2/5;
technical safety is observed;
"if-then" scenarios are spoken.

Otherwise - Not a start. The session is rescheduled or shortened to "Sprint" after a pause.

30-60 second express version

1. BK/SB/SL/SW recorded? (SL=SB, SW=30–50% SB)

2. Rate = __% BK; EL ≤ SB?

3. Format and timer: 25 + 5/45-50 + 10.

4. HALT + ≤1, emo 1-2/5.

5. Output limits/lock/2FA are enabled.

6. If something: dogon - stop; SL/SW - output; stress - pause.

Typical errors before starting - and quick fixes

"I will play a little without limits." → No SB/SL/SW = No start.

"I will adjust the rate along the way." → Fix% of BK in advance.

"I'll be in time for the deadline bonus." → Deadlines = pulses. Play without bonus.

"At night, the head is clearer." → In fact - fatigue and mistakes. Play day/night.

"Log later." → Fill in immediately (60 seconds).

Card on screen (copy)

💡 BK: ____ SB: ____ SL = SB SW = 30–50% SB
Rate: __% BK (no catch) EL ≤ SB
Format: 25 + 5/45-50 + 10 Timer: ___
HALT + ≤1 Emo 1-2/5
If: SL/SW → exit "raise rate/recoup" → stop/timeout 24-72 h

Responsibly and by law

Play only with free money and within the laws of your jurisdiction. Signs of loss of control (debts, secret deposits, "dogon") - a reason to turn on the timeout 24-72 hours and turn to specialized specialists/support lines.

1-2 minutes of preparation saves hours of regret. Go through the checklist, make sure of the money/time limits, set up the bet and timer, evaluate the emotions and agree in advance with yourself "what I do if...." Then there will be a system behind the start, not momentum - and the game will remain a safe and enjoyable experience.
