What is a deposit limit, and why should I use one?
A deposit limit controls how much money you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Deposit limits are designed to help stay in control of your play.
- They help you manage your spending and play responsibly.
How do self-imposed deposit limits work?
Deposit limits are calculated on a rolling basis:
- Daily: last 24 hours
- Weekly: last 7 days
- Monthly: last 30 days
Example:
- If you deposited €10 in the past 24 hours, €10 counts toward your daily limit.
- If you deposited €10 in the past 7 days, €10 counts toward your weekly limit.
- If you deposited €10 in the past 30 days, €10 counts toward your monthly limit.
If you cannot deposit, you may have reached your limit and must wait for the limit to reset.
You can check your last seven days of transactions in ‘Cashier’ → ‘Transaction History’.
If no self-imposed limits are set, you may have reached the payment method limit.
