Interpreting your score
| Score | Level | What it suggests | First action to take today |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–8 | Low | Limits mostly intact | Keep a written plan; set a weekly review reminder |
| 9–20 | Caution | Limits are slipping | Apply the Responsible Gaming Guide and track triggers (https://betmarino.bet/en/responsible-gaming-guide/) |
| 21–35 | High | Loss-chasing/overruns present | Take a 7-day break, lower limits, trim notifications |
| 36–60 | Very high | Daily life impacted | Consider Self-Exclusion and seek support (https://betmarino.bet/en/self-exclusion/) |

24-Hour Action Plan (copy & adapt)
- Time cap: Total X minutes today; single session 25–45 min, then 5–15 min break.
- Budget cap: Y; stop when reached—no “just to recover”.
- Break protocol: 10×10 breathing + 10-minute walk after each session.
- Trigger log: Note “what happened → thought → action → result” in 2–3 lines.
- Digital hygiene: Unsubscribe/quiet notifications that pull you back.
- Security basics: Unique passwords + 2FA (https://betmarino.bet/en/2fa-password/) and never follow unknown links (https://betmarino.bet/en/email-safety/).
