Self-Exclusion and Account Limits

What a limit does at the moment it is set

Deposit and loss limits take effect immediately when tightened and only after a cooling period when loosened — usually the length of the limit itself. That asymmetry is deliberate and it is the whole point of the tool: the decision made calmly binds the decision made in the middle of a session, and no support agent can shorten the wait on request.

Session reminders and what they are for

A reality check interrupts play at a chosen interval with elapsed time and net position. Its value is not the number but the interruption: a crash round is short enough that an hour passes without a natural pause, and the reminder supplies one. Set it shorter than you think you need — thirty minutes is the interval most people find informative rather than annoying.

Time-out compared with self-exclusion

A time-out is short, reversible on expiry and account-level. Self-exclusion is long, cannot be lifted early, and at many operators propagates to marketing lists and linked brands. Choosing between them is not about severity of feeling but about what you want to be true next week: a pause you will end, or a door you cannot reopen while the period runs.

What happens to a balance and open bets

Funds in the account remain yours and are withdrawn through the normal process; exclusion blocks play and deposits, not payouts. Bonus balances and unmet wagering usually expire with the exclusion, which is worth knowing before you start rather than discovering after. Any pending round already placed resolves normally, because the outcome was fixed before the block applied.
