24.1 Deposit Limits
After account registration, You can set Your own daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits at any time.
If You want to increase Your deposit limit, You must wait 24 hours, after which You must confirm the value increase, for immediate implementation. If You decline the increase, Your deposit limit will remain as the previously selected value. You can find more information about responsible gaming guide here.

24.2 Self-exclusion
We want everyone to enjoy playing our Games. However, we do recognise that some customers would wish to restrict or even cease playing. We, therefore, provide a self-exclusion facility that allows customers to close their accounts for a temporary period of  24 hours or much longer period up to 5 years or permanently. You can select a self-exclusion period via the ‘Responsible Gaming’ tab from the “My Page” section.. Alternatively, You may contact our Customer Service Support team directly by email at help@ggpoker.com.
When choosing to self-exclude, You will not qualify to receive any bonuses or promotions we may offer during Your self-exclusion. Within two days of choosing to self-exclude,, You will also be excluded from any marketing material that we may send. No further marketing material will be sent until the self-exclusion period is over, and You have requested to return to the Website.
Once You choose to self-exclude, Your account will be closed for the duration of the selected period, and You will no longer have access to the Games. We will return Your remaining account balance in accordance with our Withdrawal Policy.
During Your self-exclusion period, You must not attempt to gamble with us, and we cannot be responsible or liable for any subsequent consequences or losses (however caused) that You may suffer or incur if You continue gambling through additional accounts where You have altered any of Your registration details or You provide misleading, inaccurate or incomplete details or otherwise seek to circumvent the self-exclusion.
If You choose to reopen Your account once the self-exclusion period has ended, You will be required to contact the customer support team via help@ggpoker.com. You will then be given a minimum 24 hour cooling off period before Your account is active. Whilst the 24 hour cooling off period is in place You will be given the option to cancel the reactivation.
We also wish to draw Your attention to the existence of software preventing an individual computer from accessing gambling websites or services, such as: www.cyberpatrol.com or www.gamblock.com. If You require any further information or assistance regarding our functionality, please contact help@ggpoker.com.
