- Responsible gambling guardrails

## Steps

1. **Build a bankroll ledger** — Track starting bankroll, session result, stake size, location or platform, game type, fees, and notes in a clean table. Tool: Google Sheets. Expected output: A session-by-session bankroll ledger.
2. **Set stop-loss and review rules** — Write personal rules for daily loss limits, cool-off periods, jurisdiction restrictions, and when to pause. Tool: Notion. Expected output: A written risk policy.
3. **Summarize session patterns** — Use AI to summarize emotional triggers, game-selection patterns, time-of-day effects, and rule violations without asking for betting advice. Tool: ChatGPT. Expected output: A risk and discipline review.
4. **Prepare tax and audit notes** — Group sessions by month, platform, location, and record quality so an accountant can review them. Tool: Claude. Expected output: A tax-prep summary with evidence gaps.
5. **Schedule review sessions** — Book recurring reviews with yourself, a coach, or accountant to evaluate records and responsible-play limits. Tool: Calendly. Expected output: A review cadence.
