Automatic casino restrictions - how it works
1. The essence of automatic restrictions
Autolimits are rules built into the casino platform that, without the player's participation, block operations when reaching predetermined thresholds for deposits, bets, losses or session time. They guarantee immediate operation without manual verification.
2. Types of autolimites and their mechanisms
1. Autolimit of deposits
Threshold: fixed day/week/month.
Mechanism: When you try to replenish, the system reconciles the replenishment amount for the period and automatically rejects the transaction.
Example: the daily threshold of €100 → replenishment of €120 is blocked until the next day.
2. Autolimit rates
MaxBet: limits the amount of one bet; SessionTotal: total volume of bets per session.
Mechanism: before sending a request for a bet, a server validation of the current volume of bets is performed.
Example: MaxBet €5 → an attempt to bet €6 is rejected instantly.
3. Autolimit losses
Threshold: the amount of loss for a session or period.
Mechanism: the platform fixes the difference between bets and wins, when the threshold is reached, it prohibits new bets.
Example: loss limit of €50 per session → after net losses of €50, further bets are blocked.
4. Autolimit of time
Threshold: session duration and total time per day.
Mechanism: a timer on the client or server, after the threshold expires, automatically logs the user or disables bets.
For example, the session threshold is 45 minutes → by timer, the system ends the session and displays a notification.
3. Setting up auto limits in a casino
1. Responsible Play section
In your personal account, go to Responsible Gaming → Limits.
2. Mechanism selection
Set thresholds for each type (deposits, bets, losses, time).
3. Confirmation
To protect against impulsive changes, two-factor verification and "cooling" (24-72 hours) are introduced to raise the thresholds.
4. Status and log
Each auto limit is displayed as "Active" with a record of the installation date and trigger history.
4. Technical implementation
Client validation: UI immediately checks input and blocks buttons when exceeded.
Server validation: For each replenishment/bid request, the backend reconciles the transaction history and rejects the transaction.
Event tracking: each operation is recorded in the logs with a mark about the triggering of the auto limit.
Notifications: with each blocking, the player receives a pop-up, email or SMS.
5. Examples of work
Casino A: daily car limit of €200, if exceeded, sends SMS and blocks deposits until 00:00.
Casino B: MaxBet €10, SessionTotal €100, after soft notification and hard lock without confirmation.
Casino C: auto limit of losses €75 in 24 hours, after triggering, a 12-hour pause (cool-off) is activated.
6. Recommendations
1. Set auto limits first when registering.
2. Use strict hard thresholds: they will not let yourself be fooled.
3. Do not change the thresholds into a hot phrase: let the increase require "cooling" for at least 48 hours.
4. Check the trigger logs once a week to analyze behavior.
5. Combine auto limits with external blockers and self-exclusion for maximum protection.
7. Conclusion
Automatic restrictions are the main technical shield of responsible play. They provide instant control over key parameters, excluding the human factor. Competent setting of auto limits in conjunction with "cooling" procedures and logging creates a reliable system for preventing excessive bets and protecting the player's budget.
