How to set up online casino limits
Clearly established limits in online casinos help maintain control over spending and playing time, prevent escalation of gambling behavior and minimize the risk of addiction.
1. Enter the Responsible Play section
1. Log in to your account on the casino website.
2. Go to the "My Account" or "Settings" menu.
3. Find the Responsible Gaming, Self-control, or Responsible Gaming subsection.
2. Deposit limits
Purpose: to limit the amount of account replenishment for the period.
Daily limit: prohibits replenishment after reaching the set amount in 24 hours.
Weekly and monthly limits: block replenishment until the beginning of the next reporting period.
Setup:
- 1. Click Deposit Limits.
- 2. Specify an amount for each period.
- 3. Confirm the changes: the system will prompt you to enter the code from SMS or email.
- 4. Check - an attempt to replenish over the limit will issue a lock notification.
3. Rate limits
Purpose: limit the amount of one bet and the total amount of bets per session.
Maximum bet: set limit per game or spin.
Session rate limit: maximum of all bets per session.
Setup:
- 1. Under Bid Limits, enter your options.
- 2. Save and log in again for confirmation.
- 3. If you try to bid above the limit, the platform will automatically decline the transaction.
4. Time limits (reality checks)
Goal: interrupt too long gaming sessions and pause.
Reminder interval: frequency selection (every 15, 30, 60 minutes).
Maximum session duration: Full lock after the specified time is reached.
Setup:
- 1. Go to Reality check or Time limits.
- 2. Turn on notifications and specify options.
- 3. During the session, you will receive a pop-up window with a report on time and expenses.
5. Self-exclusion
Purpose: temporarily or permanently block access to the account.
Short-term: from 24 hours to 6 months
Long-term: up to 5 years or no retroactive inclusion.
Setup:
- 1. Select "Self-exclusion."
- 2. Set the period and confirm the decision.
- 3. After activation, access to the account and game sections will be closed automatically.
6. Checking and adjusting limits
Periodic control: once a week go to the "Reports" → "History of deposits/rates/time."
Adjustment: you can reduce the limits immediately, an increase - after the expiration of the previous period (usually 24 hours).
Contact support: for technical problems, contact the help service (live-chat, email, phone).
7. Using third-party tools
Budget calculators: ASIC MoneySmart, independent spending planning apps.
Time trackers: mobile apps with pause reminders.
Site blockers: Third-party browser extensions to restrict access to casinos during risk periods.
8. Discipline recommendations
1. Do not change limits immediately after losing. Wait for the lock period to end.
2. Record real data. Compare the system reports with your own budget plan.
3. Ask for help if you feel a loss of control: the hotline is 1800 858 858 available 24/7.
A clear and unchanged setting of deposit limits, bets and time is the basis of a safe game. Use built-in casino tools, third-party apps, and expert support, if needed, to keep excitement fun, not a source of trouble.
