Money you can spend on play without needing it for anything else is your bankroll. You practise management by settling on that amount ahead of time, sizing stakes so a normal losing run does not exhaust it, and seeing the figure as final rather than as an opening position. This decision goes wrong once play has started, which is why it has to come first.
Using it in practice
Pick the amount and the stopping point first, before any spin has been made, and not afterwards. When the amount is no longer something you can take or leave, reach out for support instead of changing the staking plan.
You will meet Bankroll management and terms like it across the game pages on this site, and if a studio has not released the number behind one, the page says that outright rather than copying a figure from a comparison site. Nothing is missing by accident: the empty fields in some spec tables are there because of that.
A worked example
An 80-spin run with zero return is typical of a high-volatility game and does not mean you were unlucky. On that class of game, the bankroll that only survives 20 spins runs dry in the middle of a run each time. The minimum for the game to behave as designed is a stake that lets the budget cover 300 spins or more, and that is no excess caution.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. The expected return being negative, higher stakes after a loss add to the expected loss instead of shrinking it. On possibility, the belief that a bigger bet can win the money back is arithmetically correct; on expectation, it is wrong.
