How to set spending and time limits

Choose a spending cap and a stop time, check the operator’s controls, and find out what happens when a limit takes effect.

Decide how much money and time you can set aside before you open the game. A spending cap limits purchases. A timer reminds you how long you have played. You may want both, especially if you already hold coins that allow play to continue.

  1. Open responsible-play settings from your signed-in account or the official help page. Find the controls that apply to purchases, session length or access.
  2. Choose an amount and period you can recognize on your own records. A $20 weekly budget, for example, is easier to check against receipts than a goal to “spend less.” This is an illustration, not a suggested budget.
  3. Read when the change starts, what it covers and whether a later increase has a waiting period. Save the confirmation. For a shared household budget, include purchases across all the platforms you use.
  4. Set an independent reminder for your stop time. If you find yourself repeatedly moving the reminder or increasing the budget, a longer break may be a better fit. How to take a break

If the control you want is missing, contact the operator through its responsible-play page and ask what restriction it can apply. For confidential support, use the National Problem Gambling Helpline.

Card Crush example. Its responsible-play policy lets you request a purchase limit by day, week or month through support. A session limit works differently: once the daily allowance is used, play stops until the next day. For session limits, a decrease takes effect when applied; an increase or removal has a 24-hour cooling-off period. Check the confirmation to see when your change takes effect.
