Responsible account control
Set and Review a PokerStars Deposit Limit
A deposit limit is a spending boundary, not a target. Confirm the period, currencies and effective time in the current account, then choose a figure that fits disposable entertainment money.
Open the account controls and review deposit limitsFind the current control
Open the responsible-play or account-control section on the verified destination. Record whether the limit is daily, weekly or monthly and how the period resets.
Check whether the control covers all products and payment methods attached to the account. Do not rely on screenshots from another jurisdiction.

- Products covered
Choose an affordable boundary
Base the limit on disposable entertainment funds after essential costs, not expected winnings. A lower limit can be more useful than a large ceiling that merely mirrors available credit.
Do not borrow, chase losses or raise the limit to complete a promotion.
Understand change timing
Check when a reduction takes effect and whether an increase has a cooling-off period. Save the confirmation and effective timestamp.
If the display does not match the requested control, stop depositing and ask authenticated support to verify the active value.

Review actual deposits
Compare the account deposit history with the chosen period and limit. Include reversed or returned payments according to the displayed rule rather than guessing.
If gambling stops being recreational, use the stronger time-out or self-exclusion tools and seek independent support available in the player's jurisdiction.
