Setting your own stop

Decide when to stop before you start, and let the site hold you to it.

Decide early

The best moment to choose when to stop is before the first round, when nothing has happened yet. Later, after a good run or a bad one, the choice gets harder. The Roost lets you make it early and then holds you to it.

Three tools for a session

Check-ins pop up after 25, 40 or 60 minutes of play and show your time, rounds and the sheen you staked and got back. A round limit closes the games for 25 minutes after 60, 120 or 240 rounds in one session, with a notice five rounds before. Calm mode removes the motion and adds a short gap between rounds, which slows play down on its own.

Pauses that hold

The Pause key in the header closes all six plumes on this device. A 20-minute pause can be lifted. A pause of 6 hours, 48 hours, 14 days or 60 days is firm: you can make it longer, never shorter. Firm pauses are kept in this browser even if you rejected storage, because a pause that disappeared would not help anyone.

Beyond this site

If gambling with real money is part of the picture, the tools that count are bigger than ours. GAMSTOP blocks every gambling site licensed in Great Britain, banks can block gambling payments, and the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open day and night. They are all listed at the Roost.

Pixplume is for adults 18+ and for entertainment only. No real money play, no prizes of monetary value, nothing for sale.
