Maintaining control over your gaming behaviour is essential for ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. To support responsible gaming, online platforms often provide tools for setting account limits and taking breaks. This guide explains the available options and how to use them effectively.


What Limits Can You Set?

Most gaming platforms allow you to place limits to manage your activity. Here’s an overview of the types of limits commonly available:

  • Deposit Limit

    • Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a defined period, helping you control your spending.​

  • Net Loss Limit

    • This restricts the amount you can lose within a chosen time frame.​

  • Wagering Limit

    • Cap the total amount you can bet, regardless of wins or losses.​

  • Session Time Limit

    • Limit how long you can stay logged in and play during each session.

These limits can typically be updated at any time, although changes increasing or removing limits may include a mandatory cooling-off period.


How to Set or Edit Your Limits

Follow these simple steps to set or adjust your limits. Note that navigation options might vary slightly depending on the platform:

  1. Log Into Your Online Gaming Account

    Access your Profile or account settings.

  2. Navigate to Responsible Gaming Tools

    Look for the "Responsible Gaming" at the bottom of the page in your Profile.​

  3. Choose the Limit Type

    Select the specific limit you want to apply (e.g., deposit limit, session time limit).​

  4. Set Your Desired Parameters

    Enter the preferred amount, time frame, or duration.​

  5. Save Your Changes

    Confirm your entries to apply the limits to your account.


Taking a Break

If you need a temporary pause, online gaming platforms often offer a time-out feature. Here’s how it works:

Time-Out

  • Choose a break period, ranging from 24 hours to six weeks.

  • Your account will be inaccessible during the selected period.

  • It will automatically reopen once the break ends.

Self-Exclusion

  • For a longer-term measure, consider self-exclusion. Contact support to set up an extended pause or permanently close your account. This ensures you’re not tempted to return prematurely.


Adjusting or Removing Limits

If you decide to increase or remove an existing limit, a cooling-off period (e.g., 24 hours) is typically enforced. During this time, the original limits will remain active, reinforcing responsible gaming practices.
