• Gambling Restrictions

When a customer registers, we ask them to select their gaming restrictions, such as their deposit limits, session limits, and maximum balance. You can modify these limitations whenever you wish by going to the gambling controls tab in your account on our website. Your current limit will be displayed in this area, along with instructions on how to change it by selecting a new time frame or amount of money to spend. Your deposit limitations, session limits, or maximum balance can be increased, but the new limit won’t become effective for 7 days. Reductions are immediately felt.

Also, you can use Gambling Controls to keep an eye on your actions, implement a Time-Out, Reality Check, or Self-Exclusion, and close your account.

• Deposit Limits

Our clients frequently use deposit limits as a strategy to manage their expenditure. Limitations can be set for 24, 7, or 30 day intervals and cannot be altered. To set a deposit limit, go to the Account Menu, Gambling Controls, and Deposit Limits. You can select the maximum quantity and duration there.

Your deposit limitations may be decreased at any time, and the modification will become effective immediately.

Before increasing your deposit limits, thoroughly consider your financial circumstances. Never decide to increase your limit because you have lost money and think you can make it up by playing more. We will not increase a restriction on you until you have waited seven days.

• Reality Check

To help you keep track of how much time you spend playing at Parimatch, you can set up a Reality Check alert on your account by going to the Account Menu, Gambling Controls, and choosing Reality Checks. Here, you must select the desired time period by clicking “Change.” A pop-up notice will notify you that you have been logged into your account for the allotted period of time when the time restriction is met (excludes poker game play).

Please keep in mind that if you change how frequently you receive notifications, the change will take effect right away; if you change how frequently you receive alerts, the change won’t take effect for 24 hours.

One of our customers’ favorite tools for monitoring their gambling time is session limits. Limitations can be set for a given day, week, or month, and they are unchangeable. For each day, week, or month, you can set session limitations. You will be informed when the cap is reached and locked out until the timer restarts.

By selecting Session Limits from the Gambling Controls menu on the Account Menu, you can set a session restriction. Here, you can select and submit the restrictions for your preferred time period.

The session limit may be decreased at any moment. We will not increase a restriction on you until you have waited seven days.

You can limit the total amount of money you can have on hand at any given time by setting a maximum balance on your account. If your balance exceeds your Maximum Balance for whatever reason, a withdrawal will be made right away for the excess amount once it has been established.
