Set aside living costs and commitments first. If money remains for optional spending, choose a limit you can afford to lose completely and do not raise it after a loss.
Start by deciding whether to spend at all
Rent, food, bills, transport, dependants, debt and essential savings should not fund gaming. If you are unsure there is a surplus, choose not to spend. A personal limit is not an amount you must use and does not make the activity risk-free.

An RM example for record-keeping only
Fictional illustration: someone sets RM30 as an optional-spending limit for a period. After losing RM12, RM18 remains within that limit; the original limit does not become RM42 to recover the loss. RM30 is not a recommendation for everyone. Financial circumstances and the ability to absorb losses differ.

Set a time and stopping point
Record a start time and stopping time before beginning. Avoid extending the session because you nearly won or want to use a remaining balance. Record deposits, withdrawals and time separately so money movements are not hidden behind one balance figure.

If you often exceed the limit
Treat repeated breaches as a reason to stop and seek support from someone you trust or an appropriate professional. Do not try to solve the problem by setting ever-larger limits. This guide is a personal reflection tool; it does not claim that a particular account-limit or self-exclusion feature exists on Alibaba66.
