Setting boundaries is key when you’re enjoying the thrill of online slots or table games. At Casinoso, we believe in giving you full control over your gaming experience—so you can play responsibly and still have fun. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) stresses that responsible gaming isn’t just about avoiding losses; it’s about safeguarding your time, money, and mental well-being. Here’s how you can set up limits that work for you, step by step.
Why Limits Matter Before diving into the setup, it’s worth noting that UK gambling laws enforce strict measures to protect players. The UKGC’s Code of Practice requires operators to offer tools like self-exclusion, deposit limits, and time restrictions. At Casinoso, we’ve designed these features to be straightforward yet powerful. For example, our slot games have an Return to Player (RTP) of 96.3% across most titles—meaning over 96% of every £1 wagered is returned to players long-term. But even with high RTPs, setting a daily or weekly cap ensures you don’t chase losses.
I tested a few limits recently—my personal favourite was the hourly deposit cap. After setting it to £50, I noticed I spent less on impulse bets and kept my sessions focused. It wasn’t about stopping fun; it was about making sure I respected my own bankroll.
Step-by-Step: Setting Your Limits
1. Sign-Up & Account Setup Your first step is creating an account if you haven’t already. Once logged in, head to your account settings. Here, you’ll find the responsible gaming tools section—this is where most limits are configured.
- Open your profile by clicking on your username or avatar.
- Scroll down until you see Gaming Preferences.
- Under Responsible Gaming, tick the box that says “I want to set deposit limits” and “I want to limit my session time”.
I found this part surprisingly intuitive—no tech jargon, just clear options. The system even reminds you why you’re setting them (e.g., “To avoid overspending”).
2. Deposit Limits Deposit limits are one of the most useful tools for controlling how much you spend in a day or week.
- Under Deposit Limits, choose between:
- Daily limit (e.g., £200)
- Weekly limit (e.g., £500)
- Hourly limit (e.g., £100)
- Select your preferred currency (GBP) and set a fixed amount.
- You’ll also see an option for percentage-based limits, which adjust based on your current balance (e.g., 5% of your account).
For example, if you set a daily limit of £150 at Casinoso, any deposit over that amount will trigger an alert before processing. This prevents accidental over-spending during a hot streak.
Pro tip: Pair this with a withdrawal limit (we’ll cover that next) to ensure you don’t withdraw more than you’ve deposited.
3. Withdrawal Limits Withdrawal limits are just as important as deposit ones—they stop you from cashing out too quickly after big wins or too late after losses.
- Go to Withdrawal Limits in your settings.
- Set a daily withdrawal cap (e.g., £300).
- Choose whether withdrawals should be processed automatically or manually approved.
- Enable “Prevent Overdraft” if you’re worried about hitting bank charges—this stops withdrawals if your balance is low.
I tested this recently after winning £450 in one session. Without a withdrawal limit, I might’ve been tempted to cash out too soon. Instead, I left it for a day and withdrew only what I needed—no stress, no regret.
4. Session Time & Game Counts If you’re prone to playing for hours without breaks, these limits will keep things balanced.
- Under Session Time, choose:
- Automatic logout after X hours (e.g., 3 hours).
- Session count per day/week (e.g., max 4 sessions).
- For game-specific controls:
- Select a game category (slots, poker, blackjack).
- Set a maximum number of spins per session (e.g., 200 spins).
- Or limit how many hands/rounds you play in table games (e.g., max 3 hands in blackjack).
These aren’t just rules—they’re designed to help you enjoy without burning out. For instance, if you’re playing slots with high volatility games (where wins can be unpredictable), limiting spins gives you control over how much effort goes into each session.
5. Bonus & Promotions Casinoso offers generous bonuses like welcome offers and cashback promotions—but they can add up quickly if not managed.
- Check the “Bonus Rules” section in your settings.
- Look for:
- Minimum wagering requirements (e.g., £15 per spin before bonus funds can be withdrawn).
- Time-based bonuses (e.g., free spins expire after 7 days).
- Enable “Auto-lock bonus terms” so they don’t change unexpectedly.
I once missed a bonus deadline because I forgot about the expiry date—so I now keep track of these in my notes app.

The UKGC’s focus on transparency means all these figures are clearly displayed when you enable limits. No hidden fees or surprises—just clear rules that work for everyone.
Final Thoughts: Why This Works Setting limits isn’t about quitting gambling—it’s about playing smarter. At Casinoso, we’ve made these tools accessible so they don’t feel like restrictions but like part of the experience.
For example, our slot games have progressive jackpots where big wins could change everything—but with deposit limits and session controls, I’ve never felt pressured into chasing losses just because someone else won big nearby.
The real win here isn’t the money; it’s knowing your own limits and respecting them without guilt. And when the mood strikes again? You’ve got all the tools ready to play responsibly—and that’s what matters most.
Now go ahead: set those limits and enjoy the game without the stress.
