calculate_gambling_budgetLABSCO SUMMARY
Two numbers before the money is spent.
It turns an intention into a figure: what a monthly limit should be given real income and expenses, and where current habits sit on a risk scale.
What it is
An MCP server with two calculators. One derives a safe monthly, weekly and daily gambling budget from your financial position; the other scores gambling habits as Low, Moderate or High risk and returns recommendations.
What you get
- A recommended monthly budget derived from monthly income, fixed expenses, emergency fund, savings goals and entertainment budget
- Daily and weekly limits calculated from the same figures
- Warning flags raised when the numbers indicate a problem
- A risk level — Low, Moderate or High — from frequency and behaviour answers
- Indicators covered including gambling to escape, exceeding an intended limit, and having tried to cut back
- Personalised recommendations returned with the assessment
Requirements
Node.js 18 or newer, with npm install and npm run build; point the client at dist/index.js. It works only from the figures and answers you give it and reads no accounts.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/wolfbetcomcasino-prog/responsible-gambling-mcp.git
USE CASES
01
Setting a limit you can defend
Give income, fixed expenses, emergency fund, savings goals and entertainment budget, and get a monthly figure with daily and weekly limits.
02
Checking whether current spending is sustainable
Warning flags come back when the numbers show the budget being drawn from savings or the emergency fund.
03
Taking an honest look at frequency
Answer the habit questions and get a Low, Moderate or High rating instead of a self-judgement.
04
Deciding whether to seek help
The assessment names indicators such as gambling to escape or having tried and failed to cut back, and returns recommendations alongside them.
