Player Protection Features
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps through account settings. Limits take effect immediately when decreased; increases require 24-hour cooling-off periods. Once your limit is reached, you cannot add more funds until the period resets.
Session Timers
Configure reminders that pop up after specific playing durations. Notifications display your current session length and net profit/loss, prompting you to consider taking a break rather than continuing indefinitely without awareness of time passage.
Self-Exclusion
Temporarily ban yourself from PowerBets for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion your account locks completely—no logins, deposits, or gameplay permitted. Self-exclusion extends across all Western Cape Gambling Board licensed operators through the unified registry.
Timeout Periods
Take shorter breaks lasting 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without full exclusion commitment. Timeouts let you cool off after bad sessions or step away during stressful life periods when gambling shouldn't be a priority.
Reality Checks
Receive notifications every 30, 60, or 90 minutes showing total wagered, net wins/losses, and session duration. Reality checks interrupt gameplay briefly—you must acknowledge the notification before continuing, creating forced decision points.
Loss Limits
Cap maximum losses per day, week, or month. Once you hit the limit, you can't place further bets until the period resets. Loss limits protect against chasing losses, the most dangerous problem gambling behavior.
