Deposit limits — GoldenBet888

A deposit limit is a ceiling you choose on how much you can put into your account over a period. GoldenBet888 offers one to every customer at account opening — that's a National Consumer Protection Framework requirement, but it's also just sensible — and you can set, lower, raise or remove it at any time afterwards.

How limits behave

Decreases take effect immediately.
Increases wait out a seven-day cool-off, after which you're asked to re-confirm the new figure before it applies.
Removing a limit is treated as an increase — same seven-day cool-off, same re-confirmation.

What counts as a “deposit”

Every successful deposit credited to the account counts toward the limit, whatever the funding method — card, PayID, bank transfer, or any other channel we accept. Declined and reversed deposits don't count.

What happens at the limit

Further deposits are blocked until the next reset. Pending bets, settled balances and withdrawals are untouched. You'll see a message explaining the block, alongside links to the rest of our responsible-wagering tools — self-exclusion, time-outs, BetStop, activity statements and support contacts.

Multi-channel deposits

One limit covers the lot — web, mobile app, mobile web and telephone wagering all draw down the same bucket for the period.

Reset periods

Per day — resets at 00:00 AEST/AEDT each day.
Per week — a rolling seven-day window, measured from the first deposit that opens it.
Per month — calendar month, resetting at 00:00 on the first of the next month.

Defaults, minimums and maximums

At signup you're asked to nominate a figure; no limit is pre-set on the account. There's no regulatory minimum, though the tool suggests a sensible figure for the period you pick. An absolute ceiling applies, and a limit at or above it triggers enhanced due diligence — source-of-funds and affordability checks — before it becomes effective.

Annual review prompt

If you declined a limit at account opening, we ask again at least every 12 months. If you set one, we prompt you annually to check it still suits you.

Notifications approaching the limit

You're notified when deposits in the current period reach 80% and 100% of your limit — in the account and by email to the address on file.

Relationship to BetStop

If you register with the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop), your deposit limit becomes academic for the duration — the account is closed to new wagering activity. If the registration later ends and the account is re-opened, you'll be asked to set a deposit limit again before depositing.

Relationship to activity statements

Your current limit, period-to-date usage and full history of limit changes appear on activity statements. See Help for how to access them.

Audit trail

Every limit event — set, decrease, increase, removal, cool-off start, cool-off confirmation — is recorded with a timestamp and channel, and is visible in your account history. Records are kept for at least seven (7) years.

Where to find the tool

Inside the account, under “Account features”. If you haven't set a limit, expect the occasional reminder — that's deliberate.
