Deposit limits

A deposit limit is the single most effective control a UK-licensed casino offers, and it takes about a minute to set. Reductions must be applied without delay; increases are subject to a cooling-off period.

The controls available

• Deposit limit — daily, weekly or monthly cap on what you can pay in
• Loss limit — a cap on net losses rather than deposits
• Reality check — a session reminder at an interval you choose
• Time-out — a lock from one day up to six weeks
• Self-exclusion — six months or more with that operator, account closed

In practice, at the casinos we review

• 888casino: deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks in the account’s safer gambling settings
• LeoVegas: limits can be set during registration, before a first deposit exists
• William Hill Casino: one set of controls shared across sportsbook and casino
