Five account settings to change on day one

Two minutes in your account menu makes every later session easier to control. These are the settings we switch on at every casino we test.

  1. 1. A deposit limit
  2. 2. Reality checks
  3. 3. Marketing preferences
  4. 4. Two-step login
  5. 5. Know where the time-out button is

We set these up on every test account before the first deposit. None of them stop you playing; they make the decisions you already made stick.

1. A deposit limit

Pick a monthly figure you would be comfortable losing in full. Lowering it later takes effect at once; raising it has a cooling-off period.

2. Reality checks

A pop-up every 30 or 60 minutes showing how long you have played and your net result for the session.

3. Marketing preferences

Turn off promotional emails and texts if offers tempt you to play more than you planned. You can still see promotions on the site when you choose to.

4. Two-step login

Protects your balance and your personal data if a password leaks elsewhere.

5. Know where the time-out button is

Find it now, while you do not need it. A time-out locks the account for a fixed period, from a day upwards. Our responsible gambling page lists free support services.
