Tips for Setting Responsible Deposit Limits

Start Conservative

Set your initial limits below what you think you need. You can always increase them later (after the cooling-off period). Starting low prevents impulsive over-spending during a bad session.

Use Your Bankroll as a Guide

Your total monthly deposit budget should be money you can afford to lose. A common rule is to never risk more than 5% of your savings on poker in any given month.

Match Limits to Your Play Style

If you mainly play cash games at one room, allocate more there. If you chase tournaments across rooms, spread your budget more evenly. Let the planner reflect how you actually play.

Review Monthly

Revisit this planner each month. Your poker habits and financial situation change over time. A budget that felt right in January may need adjusting by June.

How to Use This Planner

  1. Enter your total monthly poker budget in CAD at the top. This is the maximum you want to deposit across all rooms combined in a calendar month.
  2. Adjust the allocation sliders for each room. Drag a slider to increase or decrease that room's share. You can also type a dollar amount directly. The progress bar updates in real time to show how much of your budget is allocated.
  3. Review the suggested limits. For each room, the planner calculates daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limit recommendations based on your allocation. These are the values you should enter in each room's responsible gambling settings.
  4. Export or print your plan. Click the "Export / Print Summary" button to get a printable version or save a text summary to your device. Use it as a reference when configuring limits at each room.
  5. Set your limits at each room. Log in to each poker room, go to Settings or Responsible Gambling, and enter the daily, weekly, and monthly limits from your plan.

The default allocation weights GGPoker (9.4/10.0) highest based on our editorial rankings, but you should adjust to match your actual playing habits. All calculations happen in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Ontario poker rooms required to offer deposit limits?
Yes. Under AGCO regulations, all licensed Ontario poker operators must provide deposit limit tools. Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly within each room's responsible gambling settings.
Can I set different deposit limits at each Ontario poker room?
Absolutely. Each room operates independently, so you can configure separate daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits at GGPoker, 888poker, BetMGM Poker, PokerStars, PartyPoker, and Bwin. This planner helps you coordinate those limits within a single total budget.
How do I change my deposit limit at an Ontario poker room?
Log in to the room, navigate to Settings or Responsible Gambling, and adjust your deposit limit. Decreases take effect immediately. Increases typically require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they become active, as mandated by AGCO rules.
What happens if I reach my deposit limit?
Once you hit your deposit limit at a room, you cannot deposit additional funds until the limit period resets (daily, weekly, or monthly). You can still play with your existing balance. This is an important safeguard for responsible bankroll management.
Should I spread my poker budget across multiple rooms?
Playing at multiple rooms can give you access to different player pools, promotions, and game types. However, tracking your total spend becomes harder. This planner helps by letting you allocate a fixed monthly budget across rooms and set matching deposit limits at each one.
