Four tools most cashiers carry
All of them in the account settings- Deposit limit — daily, weekly or monthly. The most effective one, because it works before play rather than during it.
- Loss limit — an upper bound on what can be lost in a period.
- Session time limit — ends the session after a set time.
- A break and self-exclusion — closing access to the account for a set time or indefinitely. Raising a limit usually cannot be undone straight away.

Signals worth stopping at
Six that recur most often- Chasing losses: another deposit the same day after losing.
- Playing with money meant for something else.
- Hiding the playing from people close to you.
- Sessions regularly longer than planned.
- Relief felt only while playing.
- Borrowing to play — in any form at all.
