Affordability - What is the difference between a deposit limit increase and an affordability check?

An affordability check and a deposit limit increase are similar regarding required documentation. However, they are independent of one another.

We must complete affordability checks to ensure we're meeting guidelines set out to us by our regulator, whereby a player's source of funds and affordability are checked to ensure they are playing sustainably and safely on site. 

A deposit limit increase is when a player requests to increase their limits above the default maximum deposit limits. Document reviews are carried out to confirm a player can play sustainably above these limits. 

For example 

Your maximum default limits are as follows

• $200 per 24 hours
• $300 per 7 days 
• $400 per 30 days 

And you want to increase these limits to:

• $400 per 24 hours 
• $500 per 7 days 
• $600 per 30 days

We require your bank statements for the last three months to confirm that you can play sustainably at your requested higher limits.
