A deposit limit caps how much you can put into a wagering account over a day, week or month. Licensed Australian online wagering providers must offer you one when you sign up, and let you change it at any time.
Setting it up
- Log in to your account with the provider and open your account settings.
- Find the section for limits or responsible gambling.
- Choose a period — daily, weekly or monthly.
- Enter an amount and save.
Decreases apply straight away. Increases only take effect after a cooling-off period, so a limit can’t be raised on impulse mid-session.
Choosing a number
Start with what you’d comfortably spend on any other night out, and treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. If you’re not sure, pick a lower number — you can always review it later when you’re not in the middle of a session.
Other tools worth using
- Activity statements show your wins, losses and net position so you can see what you’ve really spent.
- Take a break options let you pause an account for a set period.
- BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, blocks you from every licensed Australian online and phone wagering provider at once. Read What is BetStop?
