A bankroll is the total amount of money a gambler has set aside specifically for gambling purposes. It represents funds allocated for betting that are separate from money needed for living expenses or other financial obligations.
Proper bankroll management is fundamental to responsible gambling. Setting and adhering to a bankroll limit helps prevent financial harm and allows for more sustainable gambling behavior over time.
A player decides to allocate €500 as their monthly gambling bankroll. They divide this into 50 units of €10 each, never risking more than 2-5% of their bankroll on a single bet or session.
