Does BlueBet have a pre-commitment facility?
Yes, BlueBet offers deposit and loss limit option. All pre-commitment limits are subject to a minimum 7 day “cooling off period”. This means that if you want to make your pre-commitment limit less restrictive (i.e. make a $500 daily loss limit a $1,000 daily wager limit) you are welcome to schedule the change immediately, but you will have to wait 7 days from the change date before the updated, less restrictive limit takes place. Any changes Made to make your limits more restrictive (i.e. Making a $500 limit a $250 limit) will take immediate effect.
How does the pre-commitment facility work?
Deposit Limits: This will determine how much you want to be able to deposit in a 24-hour, 7 day, or 30 day period. Loss Limits: This will determine how much you want to be able to lose* in a 24-hour, 7 day, or 30 day period. *This equates to net losses; if you begin your limit period with a cash balance of $500, and have a weekly loss limit of $100, you can continue to gamble until such point as that cash balance goes down to $400. At this point, you will be unable to wager any more until such point as your limit “rolls over.”
