How to prevent impulse deposits
Shortly
Impulse deposits occur when emotion and convenient UX are ahead of plan. This is not treated with "willpower," but with a construction of barriers, rituals and automation: limits, replenishment delays, blockers, "night silence," bank ceilings and clear "24 hours" rules.
1) Why the hand reaches for the Top Up button
Emotions> plan: anger, euphoria, anxiety, boredom.
Variable reinforcement: "almost-victory" pushes "add a little bit."
Blurred time/money: autospin, fast markets, "one click."
Cognitive traps: "fight back," "today goes," "a little before the quest."
Protection principle: we increase the "friction" before the deposit and transfer the solution from the "hot" moment to the "cold" one.
2) Strict rules before the start: "RULE 3 × L"
1. Money limit (month/week/day) = fixed amount from the "entertainment wallet."
2. Time Limit (Session/Day) = Timer + AutoLimits.
3. Emotion limit: there is no deposit at the level> 5/10 (pause ≥24 hours).
3) Banking and fintech barriers (external "stop")
Separate card/wallet for entertainment. No overdraft, with a daytime ceiling.
SMS/push per transaction + limit amount/number of payments per day.
No credit/overdraft for this card.
Delay in replenishment from the main account (for example, transfer D + 1).
Disable saved cards and auto payments in the bank application.
4) Settings in the casino account (internal "stop")
Deposit limit: day/week/month (increase - only after "cooling" 24-168 hours).
Loss and time limit: any stop → worked, replenishment is blocked until the next period.
Pre-alerts 70 %/90% for depot/losses + "Time out" button.
Timeout 24-72 h is available in 1-2 clicks.
Prohibition of changes on the active day: editing limits - only in advance.
5) Device tools (so as not to "break" in minute X)
Screen Time/Digital Wellbeing: limit of minutes/day for casinos and browsers, "night silence" 23: 00-08: 00.
Freedom/Cold Turkey/StayFocusd blockers: access only to calendar windows; outside the window - block.
Focus mode: we leave only "safe" notifications (limits/timeouts), promo - in the off.
6) Behavioral protocols (rituals instead of impulse)
STOP-60 protocol (for 2 minutes)
1. Close the game.
2. Breathing 6 cycles (inhale 4 - pause 2 - exhale 6).
3. Write down one phrase: "Now I feel...."
4. Delayed launch: if after 60 minutes you still want to replenish, then only within the framework of a weekly plan (without raising limits).
24 Hour Rule
Any replenishment after a minus/emotional session is only tomorrow. No "dogon" on the same day.
Self-talk script (save)
7) Notifications that really help
Reality-check every 25-30 minutes: time in session, current total, Pause button.
Pre-alert 70% and 90% by depot: "You are close to the limit - end the session, replenishment is blocked."
Weekly and monthly report: amount of deposits, time, frequency.
Alert "night silence" at any attempt to enter at night.
8) "Minus one step" - remove accelerators
Delete saved cards in the casino and in the browser.
Turn off car backs, turbo mode, fast markets.
Hide the casino app into a separate folder; shortcuts - remove from the screen.
Enter the PIN for changing limits and ask your loved one to hold the code.
9) Anti-impulse checklist (print)
Before the session:- Daily Deposit Limit: ___ (no upgrade available today)
- Time limit: ___ minutes; timer on
- Night silence is active; blocker on
- I only play with an "entertainment card"
- Reality-check every ___ minutes
- Pre-alerts 70 %/90% included
- Emotions ≤5/10; above - time-out 24-72 h
- Total +/- ___; refills until tomorrow blocked
- Diary recorded (1 minute): trigger, emotion, output
10) Ready-made presets (substitute your numbers)
A. "Short but frequent"
Daily deposit limit = 1/5 week; pre-alerts 70 %/90%.
Screen time 60 min/day; 2 × 25 min sessions; ≥3 hours between them.
Bank: daily write-off ceiling = daily deposit limit.
B. "Rare sessions 1-2 times/week"
Week = 1/4 of the monthly entertainment budget.
Blocker: access only in Wed/Sat 19: 00-20: 00.
Any replenishment outside the window is automatic failure.
C. "Return after pause/red zone"
Monthly budget = 1% of income, without the right to increase 8 weeks.
1 session/day 25 min; timeout 24 h after minus/emotion> 5/10.
Bank: limits on the amount/number of transactions/day.
11) Red zone signals and recovery plan
Signals: replenishment "in debt," night deposits, hiding spending, attempts to change limits "in flight."
5 step plan:1. Timeout 7-30 days.
2. Financial inventory: debts/deadlines/rates.
3. Block fast replenishment sources, remove saved cards.
4. Reduction of limits for 1-3 months, "night silence" is required.
5. Support: conversation with a loved one/specialist; weekly self-report.
12) If you are an operator/developer (by design)
Deposit limit of 2 clicks, increase - only with a delay of 24-168 hours.
Pre-Alerts 70 %/90% + Soft Time Out Button.
Prohibition of credit cards and friction on "quick replenishment."
Quiet promo mode with active limits/timeouts.
Reports to the player once a week/month: deposits, time, recommendations.
Default night silence for new accounts (can only be deliberately disabled).
Impulse deposit is a moment, and the consequences are weeks. Make it so that between desire and replenishment there is a queue of barriers: limits, delays, bank, blocker, timeout and the "24 hours" rule. Then the solution will again become yours, and not emotions and interface.
