Tools you can use
| Tool | What it does | When it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps how much you can deposit per day, week or month | Always — set it on day one |
| Session reminder | Reminds you how long you have been playing | Long sessions in slots and instant games |
| Cooling-off | Blocks the account for a short period | After a bad day or an emotional loss |
| Self-exclusion | Blocks the account for months or permanently | When gambling stops being entertainment |
| Account closure | Closes the account at your request | If you no longer want to play |
Availability and exact options can differ by country. If you cannot find a tool in the settings, support can activate it for you.
How to choose a deposit limit
Start from your monthly budget for entertainment, not from your last win. Divide it by the number of weeks and set a weekly limit. If you notice that you reach the limit early in the week, the limit is working — do not raise it.
Warning signs
- You deposit more often than you planned.
- You play to win back losses.
- You hide gambling from family or borrow money to play.
- You feel anxious or irritated when you cannot play.
- You use money meant for rent, food or bills.
If you recognise two or more of these, consider cooling-off or self-exclusion and talk to someone you trust.
Self-exclusion step by step
- Withdraw your remaining balance — see the payments guide.
- Contact support from your account and ask for self-exclusion for a specific period or permanently.
- Unsubscribe from promotional emails and notifications.
- Delete the app from your phone.
- Ask your bank to block gambling transactions on your cards, if this service is available.
Do not open a new account during self-exclusion: duplicate accounts are blocked, and creating them undermines the protection you asked for.
Where to find help
Many countries have free gambling-support helplines and online chats. A doctor or a counsellor can also help. Talking openly with family is often the hardest but most effective first step.

FAQ
How do I set a deposit limit on 1win?
Look for responsible gaming or limits in your profile settings. If the option is not shown for your country, ask support in the website chat to set a daily, weekly or monthly limit.
Can I close my 1win account?
Yes. Request account closure or self-exclusion through support. Withdraw your remaining balance first.
What is the difference between cooling-off and self-exclusion?
Cooling-off is a short break, usually from a day to several weeks. Self-exclusion is a long block — months or permanently — and is meant for people who want to stop gambling.
Can a limit be removed immediately?
Lowering a limit usually works at once, while raising or removing it often has a waiting period. This protects you from impulsive decisions.
