Short answer: Every licensed US sportsbook and casino app lets you set deposit limits yourself. They're usually under Account > Responsible Gaming (sometimes called "Play With a Plan," "Set Your Limits" or something similar). It takes about a minute. Setting one is just smart budgeting, the same as budgeting for any other hobby.

Tools you'll usually find:
  • Deposit limits: daily, weekly or monthly caps
  • Wager and loss limits: cap how much you bet or lose in a period
  • Max single-bet size
  • Time limits: cap how long you're logged in each day
  • Timeouts: lock your account for a set period (FanDuel, for example, offers 3 to 365 days)
  • Self-exclusion: longer blocks, which can apply across operators through state programs
Good to know:
  • Lowering a limit takes effect right away. Raising one takes time. On FanDuel, for example, increases have a cooldown: 3 days for daily limits, 7 for weekly and 31 for monthly.
  • Spending trackers and activity statements show what you've really spent over time.
  • Set limits on every app you use, not just your main one.
If gambling stops feeling fun: call or text 1-800-MY-RESET, or chat at 1800myreset.org. That's the National Problem Gambling Helpline's new number, introduced January 29, 2026. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.

Legal betting and casino apps are 21+ in most states.
