No hype — this is a concise, actionable plan to protect your money while enjoying slots and table games. Focus: simple rules you can apply tonight to avoid fast losses and stretch your playtime.
Five rules you can use immediately
- Set a session budget. Decide what you can lose in an evening and treat it like an expense. Stop when it’s gone.
- Use the 1–2% bet rule. If your session bank is £100, cap individual bets at £1–£2. This reduces ruin risk and smooths variance.
- Plan session length. Limit to 30–60 minutes of active play, then take a 30-minute cooling-off break to avoid tilt decisions.
- Choose the right games. Low house-edge games and low-volatility slots deliver steadier bankroll movement; high-volatility titles are for when you have a big, separate ‘shoot for the jackpot’ fund.
- Lock in small wins. When you reach +50% of your session bank, withdraw half the profit or move it to a separate wallet.
Tracking matters. Keep a simple log: date, starting balance, losses/wins, and whether you followed the rules. After five sessions you’ll see patterns — times of day, specific games, and bet sizes that drain you fastest.
If you want a single action to reduce harm immediately: set deposit and loss limits in your account settings before you play. Regulation in the UK supports these tools and they work.
Takeaway: pick one rule from the list, apply it for five sessions, then refine. Small, disciplined changes protect your bankroll and make gambling enjoyable rather than stressful.
