Practical limits
- Set a deposit limit before you start playing, not after a losing session
- Use PayID's speed as a reason to set limits deliberately — fast deposits mean fast repeat deposits too, though Canadian bank accounts cannot send to a PayID
- Never chase losses with a bigger deposit than planned
- Take breaks; most cashier sections include a self-imposed cooling-off option
