First Principles

• Only wager what you can afford to lose fully and without consequence.
• Set limits before you start (time, stake, and loss), and keep them.
• Never chase losses; chasing turns discipline into damage.
• Don’t wager while stressed, intoxicated, or emotionally compromised.

Signs to Step Away

• You’re wagering to “get even” or solve a money problem.
• You’re hiding activity from people you trust.
• You’re increasing risk to feel something, or to feel nothing.
• It’s interfering with sleep, work, relationships, or mental health.

Haus Tools (Recommended)

Use external guardrails even if you feel in control, limits protect you on the days you aren’t.

• Hard budget: a fixed weekly/monthly allocation.
• Session timer: a strict timebox with breaks.
• Cooling-off: a voluntary pause for a set period.
• Self-exclusion: a longer lockout if you need distance.
