Plan a balanced gaming session
A short checklist for setting a budget, a time limit and a clear stopping point.
A useful session plan starts before the first game. Set an amount you can afford to spend on entertainment and decide how long the session will last.
Treat both limits as fixed. A win is not a reason to extend the session, and a loss is not a reason to add more money.
Use a timer and take regular breaks away from the screen. Avoid playing when tired, upset, under pressure, or affected by alcohol or other substances.
When the time or budget limit is reached, stop and review the session later. If keeping the plan feels difficult, take a longer break and seek support from someone you trust.
Play responsibly and set limits that suit you.
