It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. The subject of this desk is a session - an interval that ends and leaves nothing behind - so its own interest is stated here rather than left for a footer: one link funds the site, and no operator, platform, device, browser or product is named, rated or recommended anywhere on it.

Six beliefs, checked

Six beliefs about sessions, checked

Six beliefs that between them account for most of the surprise a session causes. Each is checked against a sample and given a verdict.

Direct answer

Four of the six beliefs are false, one is partly true and one is true. The idle timeout counts from your last counted action rather than from sign-in; staying active cannot postpone the absolute lifetime; a sign-out does not touch a placed bet; a deposit and a bet need no second password; an account can hold several sessions at once; and a clock never clears a device.

The six, one at a time

Belief 1 - the 30 minutes runs from when I signed in

It runs from the last counted action. On sample A the sign-in was 09:00 and the ending was 10:11, because activity at 09:41 restarted the clock.

false

Belief 2 - if I keep clicking, nothing can sign me out

Clicking postpones the idle clock and cannot touch the absolute lifetime. On sample A a click at 20:59 still leaves the ending at 21:00.

false

Belief 3 - being signed out loses the bet I had on

The bet is held by the account. On sample E it settled 440 minutes after it was placed, all of it after the session ended.

false

Belief 4 - every action asks for the password again

Three of six do, and they are the actions that can move money out or change the credential. A bet and a deposit are not among them.

false

Belief 5 - my account can only be open in one place

It can hold several sessions at once, up to a published limit, and a new sign-in at the limit ends the oldest rather than being refused.

partly

Belief 6 - waiting long enough clears a shared device

The clocks end the interval and remove no token. Only a sign-out or a revocation does, and the token can run for 30 days.

true
the six, counted false = 1, 2, 3, 4 → 4 of 6; partly = 5 → 1 of 6 true = 6 → 1 of 6 the four false ones all read a clock or an interval as if it were the account; the one true one is about the token, which is the object that outlives both.

What the beliefs have in common

Each of the four false beliefs moves a property from one object to the other: the account's permanence onto the interval, or the interval's brevity onto the account. Sample D is the arithmetic that breaks the habit - 1,440 idle windows inside a single persistent token - and the five endings are the list that shows which actions actually remove it.
