Money put aside for play and not spoken for elsewhere is what makes a bankroll. The practice consists of settling that amount beforehand, choosing stakes small enough that an ordinary losing run will not clear it, and treating the number as final instead of as a starting bid. It is a decision for before play starts, precisely because it degrades once play is underway.
A worked example
A run of 80 spins returning nothing on a high-volatility game is the ordinary case, not bad luck. Size a bankroll to last 20 spins on that class of game and it will run out mid-sequence every single time. Choosing a stake that lets the session budget cover 300 spins or more is not caution but the floor at which the game behaves the way it was designed to.
Using it in practice
The amount and the stopping point belong to the moment before the first spin, never to the middle of play. Once the amount is no longer discretionary, support is what is needed, not a revised staking plan. Reading it beside how volatility works and house edge makes it stick, since the same pages usually raise all three together.
Bankroll management and terms like it appear throughout the game pages here, and where a studio has not published the figure behind one, those pages say as much rather than lifting a number off a comparison site. That is why a number of fields below carry nothing.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. With a negative expected return underneath, raising stakes after a loss pushes the expected loss up, not down. On possibility the intuition that a bigger bet recovers the money is arithmetically sound; on expectation it is wrong.
