# General Strategy The protocol cannot enforce responsible play — that is on you. The points below are the protocol-level guidance every Celestium player should keep in mind regardless of the specific game. ## Be Responsible Treat games as leisure. Pause if play is starting to affect your mood, your relationships, or your finances. The on-chain nature of Celestium means there are no chargebacks and no support path that can recover a bet you regret. ## Set a Budget Decide what you are willing to lose **before** you start a session, and stick to it. Never wager more than you can afford to lose. A practical safeguard is to keep your gaming wallet separate from your main wallet and only top it up to your session budget — that way the protocol-level controls do the discipline for you. ## Manage Your Time Set a session length and check in with yourself when it ends. Whether you are up or down, take the break before deciding whether to keep going. Tilt is the enemy of expected value. ## Diversify Your Play Try different games. The variance profile of Roulette, Predict, Stones, and Lotto are all different — rotating between them keeps the experience fresh and prevents the boredom-driven over-betting that wrecks bankrolls. ## Remember the Element of Chance Every Celestium game outcome is **independently random**. Past results do not influence future ones. There is no "system" — no martingale, no anti-martingale, no streak-tracking — that can defeat the long-run mathematical edge of a fair random game. The contracts are provably fair; that means the edge is also provably fair, and it is constant. ## Related * [Conservative vs Dynamic Games](/dexgames/games-terms/conservative-vs-dynamic-games.md) — understanding which games take the protocol vs other players as the counterparty. * [Random Number Generation](/dexgames/proof-of-fairness/random-number-generation.md) — the on-chain proof that randomness is fair. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
