iGaming Glossary / Loss Limit
What is Loss Limit?
A responsible-gambling cap on how much you can lose within a set period.
A loss limit is a tool that caps how much money you can lose over a chosen period, such as a day, week or month. Once your net losses reach the limit, the casino blocks further play until the time resets. It is one of the simplest ways to keep spending under control.
You set the figure yourself in the account settings, and many regulated sites make it easy to find. Lowering a limit usually takes effect at once, while raising it often has a cooling-off delay so the change is never made on impulse.
A loss limit works well next to a deposit limit and a session reminder. Together they help you decide your budget when you are calm rather than mid-game. If gambling stops feeling fun, visit our responsible gambling page for more support and tools.
