Set your limits

• Set a budget in your own currency before you convert anything.
• Keep play money in its own wallet, apart from savings.
• Switch on the casino's deposit limits on day one.
• Decide how long the session lasts and set a timer.

A coin that jumps 10% overnight can make a balance feel like free money. Count it at the value you deposited, and cash out at the limit you set.

• You chase losses with a bigger deposit.
• You hide how much you play from people close to you.
• You borrow or sell coins you meant to hold, just to keep playing.
• You feel restless or low when you are not playing.
