When a Rebate Softens a Losing Session
When the cushion helps and when it does not
A rebate helps most when a player has already decided to stop and the returned credit simply softens the exit, because the cushion then works as intended without changing the underlying decision. It helps less when the same credit invites another hour of play on the hope that the next spin will fix the previous ones, which is where the maths and the mood part company. The difference between those two moments is usually a player’s own limit rather than the offer itself, and that limit is what separates a useful rebate from a costly invitation.
