Limits turn good intentions into guardrails. Here’s how to choose the right tools — deposit caps, time-outs and self-exclusion — and make them work for you.
Why limits matter
- Pre-commitment beats willpower: decide your boundaries before you start.
- Clear lines help separate entertainment from stress or chasing losses.
- Easy controls in your account mean you can adjust when life changes.
Deposit caps: your first line of defence
Set a maximum you’re comfortable spending over a period (daily/weekly/monthly). Choose an amount you can afford to lose — this is entertainment, not an investment.
Pick the period
Weekly caps work well for most people; they’re easy to track against a weekly budget.
Cooling-off for increases
Lowering a limit takes effect quickly; raising a limit applies after a cooling-off period to prevent impulse changes.
Keep it visible
Turn on notifications so you know when you’re close to the limit.
Time-outs: short breaks that reset perspective
Time-outs temporarily block play for a chosen period while keeping account access for settings and withdrawals.
- Use cases: you’re tempted to chase losses; play is feeling rushed; you need a cool-down.
- Typical lengths: 24 hours, 7 days, or a custom date.
- Good habit: schedule regular short breaks after sessions.
Self-exclusion: a stronger pause when you need it
If play is affecting your wellbeing or budget, self-exclusion blocks access for a longer period.
Duration
Choose from fixed terms (e.g., 3–12 months) or longer per our policy. During this time, play is disabled.
Irreversible during term
To protect you, self-exclusion can’t be reversed during the selected period.
How to start
Open Account → Responsible Gaming or contact support for assistance.
Signals it’s time to tighten limits
- Spending more than planned or hiding play from others
- Skipping responsibilities or feeling anxious about losses
- Playing to “win back” money rather than for entertainment
Build your personal plan
1) Set a weekly cap
Pick a number that fits comfortably inside your disposable budget.
2) Add session rules
Max session length (e.g., 30–45 minutes) and a short time-out if you hit it.
3) Pre-decide stops
Set win/loss stops: when reached, you stop for the day — no “one last go”.
4) Review monthly
Adjust caps after life changes, not after a single session outcome.
Example limit setups
Casual
Weekly cap: $25–$50 • Time-out after 45 mins • Monthly review.
Balanced
Weekly cap: $50–$100 • Time-out after 30 mins • Loss stop: 1× weekly cap.
Tighter
Weekly cap: $20 • Time-out after 20 mins • Self-exclusion if limits are repeatedly exceeded.
FAQs
Can I change my limits?
Yes. Decreases apply quickly; increases take effect after a cooling-off period.
What happens during a time-out?
You can’t deposit or play. You can access settings and request withdrawals.
Can I cancel self-exclusion early?
No — it isn’t reversible during the chosen term. After it ends, you can discuss next steps with support.
Where do I set limits?
Go to Account → Responsible Gaming to configure deposit caps, time-outs and self-exclusion.
