What deposit limit should I set?

There is no correct figure, but there are sensible ways to reach one. The right limit is the amount you would be content to lose in full.

By Ryan Jessop. Last checked 5 October 2026.

Key takeaways

Pick an amount you could lose without it mattering.
Monthly limits are easiest to judge.
£10 or £20 is enough for any sign-up offer here.
Lowering is instant; raising is delayed.

Short answer: Set a monthly limit equal to what you would spend on other entertainment, or just the £10 to £20 a sign-up offer needs.

Three approaches

Approach	How	Example
Offer only	The offer's minimum deposit	£10, or £20 at Casumo
Entertainment budget	What a night out costs you, per month	£30 a month
Share of spare income	A small percentage of what is left after bills	2% of £800 is £16

Limits and sign-up offers

Casino	Needed
Coral	£10
Ladbrokes	£10
PlayOJO	£10
Casumo	£20
10bet	£10 (check at sign-up)

A limit below these means no offer. That is a legitimate choice.

Daily, weekly or monthly

A monthly limit lines up with pay and bills. A daily limit stops a single bad evening. Many casinos let you set more than one.

Changing it

Reductions apply at once. Increases wait for a cooling-off period and a second confirmation.

Setting limits at sign-up.

Worked examples

Player	Limit	Why
Wants one sign-up offer and no more	£10 a month	Covers the qualifying deposit at four of five casinos
Plays an hour at weekends	£40 a month	About £10 a session
Taking Casumo's full bonus	£200, once	Then lower it; the offer needs one deposit
Unsure	£10 a week	Low, and easy to review

Illustrations, not recommendations. Only you know what is affordable.

Mistakes with limits

Setting one so high it never applies.
Raising it to reach a bonus.
Setting it at one casino and forgetting the others.
Treating the limit as a target to spend.

Limits beside the deposit limit

Loss limits cap what you can lose in a period. Session limits cap time. Reality checks interrupt you at intervals. Use whichever your casino offers; they work best together.

At the five casinos

All five must offer deposit limits. You will find the setting during registration or under Account or Safer Gambling afterwards.
