Bankroll

Your bankroll is the total amount of money you've dedicated to gambling, separate from your living expenses and savings. Effective bankroll management is the most important skill for any gambler. Key principles include: never gambling with money you can't afford to lose, setting session limits (typically 1-5% of your total bankroll per session), choosing games with appropriate volatility for your bankroll size, and setting both win and loss limits. For South African players, tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion are available at licensed casinos to help manage your bankroll responsibly.
