How to manage your gaming budget and avoid debt
Article volumetric text
The game budget is not "how much you want to spend," but how much you can without threatening life and debt. Below is a practical technique that separates the game from real money, prevents debt and gives understandable steps even in difficult months.
1) Four basic principles
1. Hard border. Money for life, obligations and goals are never mixed with bankroll.
2. Only discretion. The game budget is formed from the balance after mandatory expenses and savings.
3. Automation> willpower. Card limits, auto transfers, blocking of the "gambling" category, "deferred increase" of limits.
4. One-way flow. Winnings flow into the "real world" according to the rule, replenishment - only according to the schedule, without unscheduled "dockids."
2) Safe bankroll formula
Monthly designations:- Revenue (D)
- Mandatory expenses (O) (housing, food, transport, credits, children)
- Reserve/Targets (R) (Accumulations, Cushions, Large Purchases)
- Discretion: (\text {Disc} = D - (O + R))
- Play factor (k) = 0.1-0.3 (percentage of discretion per game)
- Strict ceiling (\alpha) = 1-2% of revenue (maximum per game in principle)
[
B_{\text{month}} = \min\big(k \cdot \text{Disc},; \alpha \cdot D \big)
]Rate size: 0.5-2% of the current bankroll.
Stop loss (day): 2-3% of the current bankroll.
Stop wine (day): + 5-10% of the current bankroll.
key> Example. (D=2400), (O=1500), (R=240) → (\text{Disc} = 2400 - (1500 + 240) = 660).
(B_{\text{month}} = \min(165, 48) = \mathbf{48}).
Weekly game limit: (48/4 =\mathbf {12}).
Daily stop loss (3% of weekly bankroll 12): (0 {,} 36).
3) Architecture of "five containers"
1. Income - where salary/fees come from.
2. Mandatory - card for accounts/loans (autocount).
3. Reserve/pillow - a separate bank/savings account.
4. Discretion/lifestyle - cafe, movie, hobby (without playing).
5. Game (bankroll) - a separate card/wallet with daily and monthly limits.
Rules:- Replenishment of "Games" - once a week with a fixed amount, ≤ (B_{\text{month}}/4).
- Saved cards and auto payments in the casino are disabled.
- On the "Game" map, the daily limit ≤ daily stop loss.
4) Action calendar (set up in 15 minutes)
On the day of salary + 3 days, the buffer → auto payments "Mandatory."
Immediately after - auto transfer to "Reserve/pillow" (10-20% (D)).
Mon 09: 00 - transfer to "Discretion."
Mon 09:05 - transfer to the "Game" (≤ (B_{\text{month}}/4)).
In the browser/phone - category blocker "gambling" (PIN from turning off the "responsible friend").
5) How winnings help you avoid debt: the rule 50/30/20
Once a week, calculate the net profit per game and distribute:- 50% → Reserve/cushion, 30% → Goals/savings, 20% → Bankroll increase (but not higher (\alpha\cdot D); surplus - back to "Targets").
This is how you convert luck into financial stability, not rising rates.
6) Tough "no" that save you from debt
No credits/loans for the game. Neither MFIs, nor "intercept to paycheck."
No "dogons" after a series of losses. Stop loss worked - way out.
No unscheduled replenishment. There is exactly one source of replenishment - a weekly transfer from "Discretion."
No "took from mandatory - I will return after winning." It's a straight road to debt.
7) And if the debt is already there? Step-by-step protocol
1. Stop playing for money before leveling. Turn on the cool-off for at least 30 days.
2. Debt card. Make a list: amount, rate (APR), minimum payment, fines.
3. Free up the cash flow. Cut off discretionary spending, temporarily reset (B_{\text{month}}).
4. Repayment strategy.
Avalanche (by rate). After minimum payments on all debts, you throw all the "extra" payment into the most expensive debt (by interest).
Snowball (on aggregate). For some motivation - first close the smallest debt, then roll over to the next.
Recommendation: if the difference in rates ≥ 5-7 percentage points, choose Avalanche.
5. Negotiations. Ask the lender for a restructuring/credit vacation/rate cut.
6. Ban on new loans. Before going to zero - no new debts and credit cards.
7. Recording progress. Weekly: balance for each debt, total repaid per week/month.
8) Priority of payments (if money is not enough)
1. Mandatory basic (housing, food, medicine, children).
2. Critical accounts and taxes.
3. Minimum payments on all debts (so as not to catch fines).
4. Additional payment to the selected target (Avalanche/Snowball).
5. Discretion.
6. The game is the last in line, and only with zero delay.
9) Irregular income and seasonality
Base on 6-12 month median income: This is yours (D).
(B_{\text{month}}) recalculate quarterly.
In weak months (B_{\text{month}}) automatically decreases; strong - does not grow (excess → in the "Reserve").
A separate "tax envelope" (10-20% of freelance income) is out of the game.
10) Cash and cryptocurrency
Cash: envelope "Game" with a weekly limit; the rest of the week returns to "Discretion," not carried forward.
Crypto: a separate bankroll wallet; record courses and commissions; convert wins to stable/fiat on the day of fixing according to the 50/30/20 rule.
11) Weekly review (10 minutes on Sunday)
Is the monthly limit (B_{\text{month}}) met?
Sessions: duration, stop loss/stop wine, whether there was a "dogon "/unscheduled deposit.
Debts: delinquencies = 0? How much is repaid in a week?
"Safe of winnings": how much did it take 50/30/20?
Solutions for the next week: reduce the rate, strengthen the limits, extend the cool-off, etc.
12) Control metrics (enter in table)
% of months without exceeding (B_{\text{month}}).
% of sessions with observed stop loss.
Share of weeks without unscheduled replenishment.
Debt load: debt payments/income (hold <20-30%).
Delinquencies: must be 0.
Reserve: months of cushion (goal 3-6 months of expenses).
13) Implementation checklist
- 5 "containers" are opened and auto transfers are configured.
- Calculated (B_{\text{month}}) according to the formula, weekly transfer is set.
- Card "Game": day/month limit is on, auto-save of the card is off.
- Stop loss/stop wines are recorded, the reality check timer is worth it.
- The "gambling" blocker is active; PIN at the "responsible friend."
- The metrics table is ready; reminder for Sunday 7 p.m.
- Debt Protocol (if relevant): Avalanche/Snowball selected, plan recorded.
14) Red flags - turn on pause
Replenish the "Game" from the "Mandatory" or take loans "for a bet."
Delinquencies on debts/accounts.
You play because of stress/anxiety/crowding.
Actions: an immediate cool-off for 72 hours-30 days, a conversation with a loved one/mentor, if necessary - consultation with a specialist in debt issues and/or addictions.
Game budget management is a system, not luck. The safe bankroll formula, the "five containers," the 50/30/20 rule for winnings, strict stop rules and a weekly metric check make the game part of leisure, not a source of debt. If debts have already arisen - switch to the repayment protocol, freeze the game and regain control of finances step by step.
