Safer play
Budgets, limits, and stop conditions. Education only — never monetized, never a nudge to play.
When a guide cites a number, it will say whether that number is a definition, a worked example, or a sourced industry figure. We will not invent operator-specific claims. Read how we work for the sourcing rules.
