A bankroll means money kept aside for play that is not needed for anything else. It amounts to fixing that amount before starting, sizing stakes so that a normal losing run does not exhaust it, and treating the figure as final, not as an opening position. The decision must be taken ahead of play, because that is the decision that goes downhill once it is underway.
Using it in practice
Settle the amount and the stopping point prior to the first spin instead of while playing. The moment the amount stops being discretionary is the moment to seek support, not to adjust the staking plan.
On the game pages of this site, terms like Bankroll management recur, and if a studio publishes no figure behind one, those pages state that plainly instead of quoting a number from a comparison site. A handful of the spec tables across these pages are left empty in places, and this is the reason.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. A negative expected return means that increasing stakes after a loss raises the expected loss and does not reduce it. That a bigger bet can win the money back is arithmetically true as a possibility, and the intuition is wrong about the expectation.

A worked example
High-volatility games make an 80-spin run that returns nothing ordinary rather than unlucky. With that class of game, a bankroll sized to survive 20 spins always ends in the middle of a run. The minimum for the game to behave as designed is a stake sized so the session budget covers 300 spins or more, and calling that caution misses the point.
