How top-up limits work
1. The essence of the deposit limits mechanism
The replenishment limit is the pre-selected maximum amount that you can deposit into the game account for a certain period (day, week, month). After the limit is exhausted, any attempts to replenish the balance are automatically blocked until the beginning of the next period.
Key parameters:
2. Limit setting process
1. Login to My Account:
2. Period and amount selection:
3. Confirmation and activation delay:
4. Saving settings:
3. Technological implementation
Server check: each replenishment request goes to the server, where the system checks the current deposit balance within the period.
Event accounting: with each crediting, the amount is automatically deducted from the "balance" of the limit; transfers to "reserve" or bonus accounts do not count.
Transaction Hold - If the amount requested exceeds the remaining limit, the transaction is denied instantly with a "top-up limit exceeded" notification.
Reporting: in your personal account and/or by e-mail you receive a notification about each successful replenishment and the moment you reach the limit.
4. Change and reset limits
1. Limit reduction:
2. Limit increase:
3. Reset at end of period:

6. Recommendations for limit selection
1. From 5% to 10% of free income. After all the mandatory expenses and savings, determine the amount that you are ready to spend on entertainment, and set the limit below this limit.
2. Minimum reserve "for a rainy day." Leave at least 20% of your free income outside the game account.
3. Analyze in a month. See how many times you have reached the limit and how comfortably the top-ups have been allocated; Adjust the values by 10-20%.
7. Combination with other tools
Rate limits: along with deposit restrictions, protection will be more complete - you cannot both replenish and make too large a bet.
Reality Check: A reminder of the time and amount of money spent will increase the effect of deposit limits.
Self-blocking: when the limits are not enough, a voluntary ban on replenishment and rates for the chosen period radically breaks the cycle of dependence.
Setting and competent use of deposit limits is one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain control over expenses in online casinos. Technical implementation through server checks and automatic locks ensures that you cannot exceed your chosen budget, and thoughtful frequency and delay when changing prevent spontaneous decisions.
The replenishment limit is the pre-selected maximum amount that you can deposit into the game account for a certain period (day, week, month). After the limit is exhausted, any attempts to replenish the balance are automatically blocked until the beginning of the next period.
Key parameters:
- Frequency: daily, weekly or monthly.
- Amount: fixed figure in your currency (₴, ₽, $, €).
- Directions: usually covers all methods of replenishment (bank cards, e-wallets, mobile payments).
2. Limit setting process
1. Login to My Account:
- - Section "Responsible game "/" Security "/" Account settings" → item "Deposit limits."
2. Period and amount selection:
- - Specify, for example, "1,500 ₴ per day" or "10,000 ₽ per month."
- - The system will offer standard options or allow you to enter your own value.
3. Confirmation and activation delay:
- - To protect against impulsive decisions, many casinos introduce a "cool-off" period - the limit change takes effect after 24 hours.
- - This gives the player time to consider whether he really wants to increase or decrease the restrictions.
4. Saving settings:
- - After approval via e-mail or SMS, the limit is fixed; in the profile you immediately see the remaining volume of replenishment until the end of the period.

Server check: each replenishment request goes to the server, where the system checks the current deposit balance within the period.
Event accounting: with each crediting, the amount is automatically deducted from the "balance" of the limit; transfers to "reserve" or bonus accounts do not count.
Transaction Hold - If the amount requested exceeds the remaining limit, the transaction is denied instantly with a "top-up limit exceeded" notification.
Reporting: in your personal account and/or by e-mail you receive a notification about each successful replenishment and the moment you reach the limit.
4. Change and reset limits
1. Limit reduction:
- - Effective immediately or with minimal delay (usually without waiting).
- - Protects against spontaneous increases in emotional impulse.
2. Limit increase:
- - Often accompanied by a "waiting period" (24-72 hours).
- - After this period, you will receive a notification about the activation of the new value.
3. Reset at end of period:
- - Upon reaching the end of the day/week/month, the system automatically "reboots" the limit - you can replenish your account again within the originally set value.
5. Benefits and limitations
Advantages:
- Clear cost control. Eliminates the risk of "overheating" emotions and unplanned large deposits.
- Debt protection. The limit helps you stay within your available budget without resorting to loans or borrowings.
- Psychological barrier. Knowing that the limit cannot be circumvented instantly reduces the temptation of "another bet."
Limitations:
- Does not protect against bets inside the account - only against replenishment.
- Does not take into account winnings: you can return part of the amount spent and reinvest the winnings over the limit. To limit the turnover of bets, additional settings are needed.
- Depends on the correct calculation of the budget: an incorrectly set too high limit will not give the desired effect.
