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 PayID itself is an Australian service and not available to New Zealand bank accounts
• Never chase losses with a bigger deposit than planned
• Take breaks; most cashier sections include a self-imposed cooling-off option
