Daily, weekly and monthly limits - what is the difference

1. Introduction

In online casinos, limits on deposits, bets and losses can be set for different periods: a day, a week or a month. Each type of period solves its own tasks of budget control and protection against impulsive play. Understanding differences allows you to configure constraints as efficiently as possible.

2. Definitions

Daily limit - limits the amount of replenishment, bets or losses within 24 hours from the moment of activation (not on a calendar day).
The weekly limit is the same type of limit, but within seven consecutive days.
Monthly Limit - A limit of 30 (or 31) days from installation.

Each limit counts its own "window" of time and takes effect immediately or after a "cooling" period (usually 24 hours).

3. Daily limits

Purpose: instant control of expenses and reducing the risk of a "hot" series of bets.
Pros:

• Instant lock after threshold is reached.
• Clear boundaries for every game day.
Cons:
• Little time for flexibility: May work too early in rare but big bets.
• Requires frequent adjustments if playing irregularly.

4. Weekly limits

The goal: to smooth out the dispersion of the budget for several sessions per week.
Pros:
• More even distribution of funds between game days.
• Suitable for those who play 2-3 times a week.
Cons:
• Less efficiency: the risk of "accelerating" in the second half of the week, if not monitored in advance.
• When you reach the limit, you automatically limit the remaining days of the week.

5. Monthly limits

Goal: Protect a long-term bankroll and plan a full-month budget.
Pros:
• Global control - you know in advance the maximum amount of costs for 30 days.
• Suitable for regular players and those who tie salary limits.
Cons:
• Low flexibility in short periods: may leave too much "unclaimed" funds at the beginning of the month.
• The risk of overspending in the first days, if not combined with daily and weekly restrictions.

7. How to choose the best set of limits

1. Rate the frequency of the game:
• Rarely (1-2 times a week) → weekly + monthly.
• More often (3 + times a week) → a combination of daily and weekly.
• Daily → daily + monthly for safety.
2. Calculate your budget:
• Break down the monthly amount into your preferred sessions and days.
• Set the monthly limit equal to the total amount, weekly - 25% of the monthly, daily - 20% of the weekly.
3. Combine periods:
• Daily limit for tight control over one day.
• Weekly - to equalize fluctuations.
• Monthly - for the general budget.
4. Test and adjust:
• After the first two weeks, analyze how quickly the limits are reached.
• If necessary, reduce or increase the thresholds.

8. Practical setting by example

1. Input data:
• Monthly budget: €1,000.
• Playing frequency: 4 sessions per week.
2. Calculation of limits:
• Monthly: 1,000 €.
• Weekly: €1,000 × 25% = €250.
• Daily: 250 € ÷ 3 (sessions per week are distributed unevenly) ≈ 80 €.
3. Setting up in your personal account:
• In the Responsible Play section of the Deposit/Loss/Bet Limits →, set three limits with periods.
• Confirm via SMS or email.
• Wait for activation (usually 24 hours for monthly and weekly, daily - immediately).

9. Conclusion

Daily, weekly and monthly limits complement each other, creating multi-level protection of the player's budget and psyche. By combining them and adjusting in fact, you get a flexible control system that allows you to play safely and systematically. Without unnecessary emotions and the risk of overspending - only clear numbers and clear time frames.
