Choose the reminder interval
Set an interval short enough to be noticed and confirm whether the message shows elapsed time, spend or balance movement. The reminder is useful only if you pause to read it rather than dismissing it automatically.
A Reminder Informs; a Limit Restricts
A session reminder displays elapsed time and account information at intervals, while a time limit can block or end activity after a threshold. Closing a reminder without action is different from reaching a control that prevents further play.
Open the live accountRead the hard-stop behaviour
For a time limit, check whether it blocks new rounds, logs the account out or begins a cooling period. Confirm what happens to an accepted live round or pending withdrawal when the threshold is reached.
Separate device and account clocks
A server-side control should follow the account across devices, while a local timer may reset with the browser. Verify where the setting lives and test that it appears after signing in elsewhere.
Plan the end of session
Set a reminder and a firm stop before play begins. When the message appears, review time and money together. Extending play to recover losses defeats the purpose of either control.

Does a reality check stop play?
Usually it informs and asks for a decision; a time limit is the restrictive control.
Can changing devices reset a limit?
An account-level control should persist; verify the setting scope.
What about an accepted round at the limit?
