The Great British Gambling Commission is seeking to give consumers “consistency and clarity” over deposit limits through a new consultation.
Launched as part of the country’s white paper on gambling reform, the regulator wants to clear up potential confusion around explicit deposit limits and some operators’ “net” deposit limits.
Net deposit limits take withdrawals into account, meaning if a player deposits £20 but withdraws £10, their new deposit limit becomes £30.
“This can be confusing for customers, especially if the descriptions for the different types of limit are similar,” the Gambling Commission said.
The consultation, running until April 30, will seek to make clear how deposit limits are defined and communicated to customers.
