Control-Your-Play Toolkit
Deposit Limits
Cap the total amount you can add to your balance daily, weekly or monthly. Deposits above your limit are declined automatically.
Loss Limits
Decide how much you’re prepared to lose before each session starts. Once the threshold is reached, wagering is blocked until the next period begins.
Session Timers
Pick the maximum time you want to stay logged-in. A reminder appears five minutes before auto-logout so you can finish responsibly.
Wager Limits
Put a ceiling on the total amount you can stake within a set period. Ideal for managing frequent small bets that add up quickly.
Reality Checks
Periodic pop-ups summarise time spent, wagers and results, helping you stay aware of your activity.
Self-Exclusion
Instantly block access for 24 h, 7 days, 6 months or permanently. Reactivation is only possible after the cooling-off period ends.
Warning Signs
