Deposit limits

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.

It helps 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 it to reset.

You can check your last seven days of transactions in the ‘Cashier’ under ‘Transaction History’.

If no self-imposed limits are set, you may have reached the payment method limit.

What's the difference between a regulatory and a self-imposed deposit limit?

  • A self-imposed limit is set by you
  • A regulatory limit is set by law

You must always stay within both limits. You can only deposit up to the lower of the two.

 

What's the difference between a buy-in limit and a deposit limit?

  • A deposit limit affects how much you can deposit.
  • A buy-in limit controls how much you can spend

A buy-in limit sets the maximum amount you can spend weekly on:

  • Cash games
  • Tournament buy-ins
  • Re-buys
  • Add-ons

Once you reach this limit, you cannot join games or register for tournaments even if you still have funds available in your account.
