English term or phrase: early
I'm not sure about what the word early means in these two strings which occur in an online casino:
1. Quit Bonus Early?
2. Are you sure you wish to finish your Free Play early?

Does it mean "before finished"? I need the answer within 2 hours, so kudos to those who respond... early!
