Cap your sessions at 60–90 minutes
After 90 minutes, focus drops sharply. Take a 15-minute break — walk away from the screen entirely.
Use a session bankroll, not your full bankroll
Only deposit your session amount. Keep the rest out of the account so you can't impulsively top up.
Quit on a high
If you hit your win target, log out — even if you 'feel hot'. Hot streaks end. The only way to lock in winnings is to actually withdraw them.

Quit on a low
If you've lost half your session bankroll, stop. Trying to claw back losses in the second half is the most expensive habit in gambling.

Log date, casino, game, time played, deposit, withdrawal. After a month you'll see exactly where your money goes — and which sessions are worth repeating.
