Responsible Gambling Reminder: This calculator is for educational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcomes. Gambling involves risk, and the house always has a mathematical edge. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, set time and money limits before you play, and take regular breaks.

Bankroll management is the practice of setting rules for how much you wager relative to your total gambling budget. The goal is to extend your playing time, reduce the risk of losing your entire budget quickly, and keep gambling fun rather than stressful.
A common guideline is to bet between 1% and 5% of your bankroll per spin or hand, depending on the volatility of the game. Higher volatility games have larger swings, so smaller bets help you ride out dry spells. Lower volatility games are more predictable, so you can use a slightly larger bet size while still managing risk.
Setting a stop-loss limit before you start playing is one of the most important habits you can build. Decide how much you are willing to lose in a session, and walk away when you reach that limit, regardless of how the session has gone.
