Cool-off

Recovery language

Definition

A short operator-side pause — commonly 24 hours to 30 days — during which you cannot deposit or bet, set from inside your own account. It is reversible by expiry, not by asking, and it is the lowest-friction tool on this list.

Preferred phrasing

safe to use as written.
