Deposit limit
A cap ("limite de dépôt") you pick for how much money can go into one casino account in a day, a week or a month.
A deposit limit (limite de dépôt) shuts off deposits once you've hit your number for the period. Most regulated markets make operators offer it, and that includes Loto-Québec's online site. Lowering your limit usually kicks in right away. Raising it usually means waiting.
Why bother
Pick your number before you play, when you're chill. That way a bad moment can't override it. It's one of the simplest tools out there, and one of the best.
The crypto problem
On a crypto site, your cap only protects that single account. Coins can come over from your exchange in minutes, and you could open an account at another casino just as fast. Ways to slow yourself down:
- Still activate the site's cap.
- Park your gambling budget in a wallet used for nothing else.
- Set caps or a whitelist of addresses on your exchange so sending extra coins isn't instant.
- Ask your bank or caisse if it has a gambling block for cards and transfers.
Real-life example
Your cap is 200 $ a week. You've hit 200 $ by Thursday. Every deposit after that bounces until the new week starts.
