Betting should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money you need. Paper trading is the default on Sportslux for a reason: you can test every idea without risking anything.
Tools you control
- Limits. Set daily and weekly loss limits, a largest bet and a cap on what is at stake at once. The engine refuses any bet past them.
- Breaks. Stop placing bets for a day up to five years. You can lengthen a break but not shorten it; you can always see and close what you hold.
Both are under Limits & location once you are signed in.
Signs to stop and talk to someone
- Betting more to win back losses.
- Betting with money meant for bills, or borrowing to bet.
- Hiding betting from people close to you.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not betting.
