A limit works best when it is set before play and kept separate from rent, food, bills, savings and debt payments. Write down both the time and the amount, do not increase either during a session, and stop when the first limit is reached.

Time

A pause is a strong decision

If play affects sleep, work, relationships or essential money, stop and seek qualified local support.
