Bet With Limits is independent. We may earn a commission when you join a site through our links — it never changes a Limits score, which is calculated only from the safer-gambling tools a site offers. How we make money.

How the Limits score works

Three steps to playing within your limits

  1. 1

    Set your budget

    Decide what you can spend on fun this month — money you won't miss. Our budget planner turns it into daily, weekly and monthly limits.

  2. 2

    Pick a site that respects it

    Choose a licensed site with strong limit tools. Our Limits score shows you which ones make it easy.

  3. 3

    Turn your limits on first

    Set your deposit limit before your first deposit. Our step-by-step guides show you where to find it on each site.

Common questions

More in our full FAQ, or ask us.

What is the Limits score?

A rating out of 10 for how well a gambling site helps you stay in control. It’s built from nine safer-gambling tools — such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion — each worth a published number of points. Bonus size doesn’t count.

Is Bet With Limits free to use?

Yes. Our reviews, guides and tools are free. We may earn a commission when you join a site through our links, but it never changes a score or ranking.

Who is this site for?

Adults aged 18 or over (or the legal gambling age where you live) who choose to gamble and want to stay in control. If you’re worried about gambling, start with our help page.

Do your tools store what I type?

No. The budget planner, cost-of-play calculator and check-in run in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to us.

New guides, a few times a month

Clear explanations, new tools and updated scores. No promotions pushing you to play — unsubscribe in one click.

Gambling is for adults and should be fun. Set a limit before you play, never chase losses, and take a break whenever you like. If it stops being fun, stop — and if you’re worried, free help is here.
