Figured I would write up the actual tools these sites hand you, since half of us never open the settings page.
From what I have used across a few of them, the common ones are:
Deposit limits. You cap how much you can spend on Gold Coins per day, week or month. This is the big one. It enforces a budget so you are not relying on willpower at 11pm.
Time reminders. A little popup after you have been on a set number of minutes. Annoying on purpose, which is the point.
Cooling off. A short self imposed break, usually pick a number of days, account locked til then. Good for the morning-checking phase folks were talking about in another thread.
Self exclusion. The serious one. Longer lockout or permanent. Different from cooling off because you usually cannot just undo it on a whim.
What I personally use: hard weekly deposit limit plus the time reminder. The deposit cap does the heavy lifting, the reminder just keeps me from losing two hours without noticing.
What does everybody else actually toggle on? Curious what gets used vs ignored.
Use the tools, that is literally what they are there for.
