Responsible gaming tools at a glance
Every account has a set of self-applied controls. They're free to turn on, can't be loosened on a whim, and are enforced server-side so they apply across every device and the API.
What's available
| Tool | What it does | Where to set it |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps how much you can fund per period (daily, weekly, monthly). | Deposit and loss limits |
| Loss limit | Caps net loss per period. Stops new orders once hit. | Deposit and loss limits |
| Wager / bet limit | Caps the size of any single order. | Deposit and loss limits |
| Session timeout | Auto-signs you out after a chosen idle period. | Settings → Responsible Gaming |
| Cooling-off period | Pauses trading without closing the account. | Cooling-off |
| Self-exclusion | Permanently stops trading. Withdrawals stay open. | Self-exclusion |
All settings live under Settings → Responsible Gaming in the app.
Loosening vs tightening
We let you tighten any limit immediately. Loosening a limit takes effect after a delay — typically 24 to 48 hours, with longer windows for some controls. The delay exists so the decision to ease up is made calmly, not in the middle of a session.
This applies to deposit limits, loss limits, and wager limits. It does not apply to session timeout (you can change it freely) and does not apply to extending cooling-off / self-exclusion (those only go one way).
How limits are enforced
Limits are enforced server-side, not just in the UI. Trades placed through the API obey the same caps. There's no path around them.
Hitting a limit blocks new orders. Existing positions continue to exist; you can sell them, claim them after resolution, and withdraw free balance.
When limits hit
If you try to place an order that would breach a limit, the trading panel blocks it with a clear message — e.g., "This order would put your daily loss above $X". Adjust the order or wait for the period to roll over.
If gambling becomes a problem
The tools above can help. If they're not enough, please reach out to a problem-gambling helpline in your country. The Settings → Responsible Gaming page links to relevant resources for your region.
You can stop trading entirely through self-exclusion — see Self-exclusion.
