What is a deposit limit & how do I set one?

PLAYWEST allows you to place a deposit limit on your account.
โ€‹
PLAYWEST has the option to set for the period of daily, weekly, fortnightly & monthly.
โ€‹
The daily limit has a 24-hour period, that must elapse for you to have the ability to deposit again.
โ€‹
Once a limit is set on your account for any of the period that is on offer this limit will take immediate effect and can be reduced at any time. Once a deposit limit is set you must wait until the period has finished for you to either remove or increase the limit on your account.


What are the benefits of having a deposit limit?

A deposit limit gives you the ability to control how much money you can deposit from you personal funds. It is a major way to gamble only money you have set aside for the purpose of gambling.

How does a deposit limit work?

Daily example

You have a $100 deposit limit.

You deposit $75 at midnight, then a further $10 at 6am and another $15 at midday. You will then be unable to deposit any further amount of money until the time expires on your daily deposit limit over 24-hours.

Weekly example

You have a $1000 deposit limit set.

You deposit $75 on Monday, followed by a further $140 on Tuesday. That leaves $785 remaining. You then deposit a further $300 & $485 on Wednesday & Thursday and therefore preventing you from depositing any further money into your account until Monday morning (the following week at the time you first initially deposited the first $75).

Fortnightly example

You have a $1000 deposit limit set.

You deposit $100 on Monday, followed by $800 on Tuesday. This leaves you only the ability to deposit $200 for the rest of the fortnight. You continue to deposit amounts over the next 4 days until you hit your $1000 limit on Saturday and therefore you donโ€™t have the ability to deposit any amount until the following Monday week.

Monthly example

You have a $1000 deposit limit set.

You deposit $700 initially in your first week leaving you only the ability to deposit $300 over the following 3 weeks of the month (28 day period) you deposit $270 in the 2nd week of the month and finally you have $30 remaining for 2nd period of the month (14 days remaining on your limit) which you deposit in your final week and therefore the final 7 days of the 28 day period of the monthly deposit limit you will not be able to deposit any further funds into your account.
