Configuring Deposit Limits for Better Control
Deposit limits are one of the best tools for handling your spending. At Oscar Spin Casino, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you deposit. Once a limit is applied, you cannot exceed it until the period expires. This offers you a hard stop that blocks impulsive top-ups and assists you in stick to a budget you have defined in advance. To set up your deposit limits, complete these simple steps:
- Access to your Oscar Spin Casino account and visit the “My Account” section.

This built-in delay offers you time to reconsider and prevents decisions made in the heat of the moment. Our Player Welfare Team can also set limits on your behalf if you choose to talk it through first.
Stepping Away with Time-Outs and Self-Exclusion Options
Occasionally the best decision is to step away from gambling for a while. Oscar Spin Casino provides two specific ways to take a break: a time-out and self-exclusion. A time-out is a brief break that can last from 24 hours up to six weeks. During this period, you will be unable to access your account, and we will not transmit you any marketing communications. You can still contact our welfare team.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment intended for those who feel they need a more substantial break. You can apply for a self-exclusion period of six months, one year, two years, five years, or permanently. Once you send the request, it goes into effect immediately, and we close your account. You cannot open a new account with us during the exclusion period, and we will do everything within our power to prevent it. To initiate a time-out or self-exclusion, you can:
- Use the self-service tools in the “Responsible Gambling” section of your account.
- Notify our Player Welfare Team by email or live chat, and we will process the request for you.
- If you are in France and wish to self-exclude from all licensed operators, you can also register with the ANJ’s national self-exclusion scheme. We can guide you through the process.
When a self-exclusion period expires, your account is not immediately reactivated. We need a written request from you, followed by a seven-day cooling-off period before you can play again. This safeguard ensures that reactors are fully considered and not the result of a sudden impulse. Our team will always contact you to discuss your return and verify that you are ready. You can then opt to set new deposit limits.
