    • Place no more than €1 per round.

    • Wait at least 5 seconds between bets.

    • Autoplay is blocked (each spin/round must be started manually).

  3. Mandatory break & summary

    • After 60 minutes, you’ll see a session summary; then a 5-minute compulsory break during which play is not possible.

    • Use the summary to review your play.

  4. Review your 30-day history

    • At least once daily, a pop-up shows bets/wins/losses for the last 30 days.
