Every experienced crypto gambling player has a story about the night they ignored their stop loss. This guide makes sure you never create your own version of that story.
What is a stop loss?
A pre-committed maximum loss for a session beyond which you stop playing regardless of circumstances. Not a guideline. A rule set before you start that you never violate.
How to set your stop loss
Session stop loss: 25-35% of session bankroll. 200 USDT session — stop at 50-70 USDT loss. Hit it — stop immediately.
Daily stop loss: 20-30% of total available gambling funds.
Weekly stop loss: Set your weekly maximum before Monday.
Why loss chasing destroys bankrolls
Loss chasing — increasing bets to recover losses — is the single biggest cause of catastrophic gambling losses. It feels rational. The math says otherwise. A doubled bet after a loss does not improve your probability of winning the next round.
Automating your stop loss
- Set auto bet with a USDT stop-loss configured
- Use the casino deposit limit feature
- Use the loss limit feature in responsible gambling settings
- Set a phone timer for maximum session length
In the moment of a losing run your brain generates compelling reasons to ignore the stop loss. These reasons are always wrong. Pre-commitment protects you from yourself.
Both BC.Game and Stake have loss limits and deposit limits in responsible gambling settings.
