Write the limits down first
Decide the session budget, the maximum number of deposits, and the stop time while you are still away from the cashier. Once the game is open, those decisions get worse.
A useful default is one entertainment budget per week that cannot be topped up. If that feels restrictive, the original budget was already too high.
Use operator tools
Most regulated and major offshore brands offer deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off, and self-exclusion. Turn deposit limits on before the first deposit, not after a losing night.

- No borrowed money.
