OLG Deposit Limits
Learn how deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and account closure work at OLG 50 Casino in Canada, and where to find free support if you need it.
Time-out: a short pause when you need one
A deposit limit caps how much you can add to your OLG 50 Casino account over a set period. You choose the amount in your account's responsible gambling settings. Lowering a limit is usually quick, so set one before you play.
A time-out is the lightest tool in the responsible gambling kit. It locks you out of play for a short stretch you pick yourself, then lets you back in without any paperwork. Think of it as stepping away from the table to clear your head. It suits the evenings when a session has run longer than planned, when a loss is bugging you, or when you simply want a few days off without making a big decision.
Because a time-out is short by design, it works best as an early warning tool rather than a long-term fix. If you find yourself using it again and again, that is a useful signal. It may be time to add a deposit limit, or to look at the longer breaks covered further down this page. Players in Ontario and Alberta play on regulated sites, so these tools are part of the normal account experience, not something hidden away.
- Use it after a long session, before frustration builds.
- Use it when real life is busy and gaming should wait.
- Use it as a trial run before a longer break.
- Pair it with a deposit limit so the budget stays fixed when you return.
Deposit limits: set your budget before you play
A deposit limit is a ceiling on how much money you can add to your account over a day, a week or a month. Once you reach it, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. It is the most practical tool for most players because it works quietly in the background. You set it once, and it protects your budget on the nights when your judgment is not at its sharpest. Look for the limits section in your account's responsible gambling settings, and keep the amounts in Canadian dollars (C$) so they match what you actually spend.
Start from your real entertainment budget, not from what the cashier allows. Take what is left each month after rent, bills, savings and everyday costs. Then decide what share of that you are happy to spend on play and treat it as money gone, like a cinema ticket. The planner below turns a monthly figure into weekly and daily caps so you can see what a sensible limit looks like.
Enter the monthly amount you are comfortable spending on play. The planner shows matching weekly and daily caps in C$, so you can set limits that fit together.
| Monthly budget | Weekly cap | Daily cap |
|---|---|---|
| C$200 | about C$46 | about C$7 |
| C$400 | about C$92 | about C$13 |
| C$800 | about C$184 | about C$27 |
These are worked examples, not recommended amounts. Weekly figures divide the month by roughly 4.35 weeks and daily figures divide it by 30, rounded. Pick the monthly number that suits your own finances and let the smaller caps follow from it.
-
Daily limit
The tightest cap. It stops a single bad night from turning into a big dent in your month, and it suits players who like to top up often.
-
Weekly limit
A balanced choice for most people. It lines up with a pay cycle and leaves room for a slightly bigger session on the weekend.
-
Monthly limit
The overall ceiling. Set it first, then use daily or weekly caps inside it so the budget cannot be spent in a single burst.
Keep in mind how you fund your account. In Canada, a credit card deposit counts as a cash advance, which can mean fees and interest from day one. A debit card or bank-based method keeps the money you play with as money you actually have. Whichever method you use, your deposit limit applies to the account, so you only need to set it once.
Self-exclusion: a longer break from play
Self-exclusion is a formal, longer break. Instead of a few days, you step away from the account for a much longer period that you choose, and during that time you cannot play or deposit. It is meant for players who feel play is taking more time, money or headspace than they want to give it. Asking for it is a sign of good judgment, and nobody at the site will think less of you for it.
| Tool | Main purpose | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Time-out | Short pause | Brief |
| Deposit limit | Spending cap | Ongoing |
| Self-exclusion | Long break | Extended |
| Account closure | Full stop | Permanent |

Each tool answers a different need. A limit shapes how you play, a time-out and self-exclusion pause play for different lengths of time, and closing the account ends the relationship with the site. You can combine them, for example by keeping a deposit limit in place for the rest of your gaming.
-
1
Open your settings
Sign in and go to the responsible gambling area of your account.
-
2
Choose self-exclusion
Pick the option for a longer break and read the terms shown before you confirm.
-
3
Select your length
Choose a period you can stick to. A longer one is easier to keep than one you plan to cut short.
-
4
Confirm and step away
Once confirmed, remove saved payment details and close any browser tabs or app shortcuts that tempt you to log in.
Plan for the break itself. Delete the OLG Mobile App from your phone if you have installed it, unsubscribe from promotional emails and texts, and tell a friend or family member what you are doing. The practical steps matter as much as the setting, because most slips happen when a push notification or an old habit makes a return feel easy.
How to close your account
Closing an account is the right move if you are sure you want to stop for good, or if you simply no longer play. It is different from self-exclusion, which sets a time frame, and different from a time-out, which is a quick pause. Before you start, make sure your balance is dealt with so no money is left behind.
- 1
Withdraw your balance
Cash out anything remaining to a payment method in your own name before you close.
- 2
Use up or give up bonuses
Check for any active bonus. Closing can forfeit it, so decide if you want to finish it first.
- 3
Ask to close
Use the account closure option in your settings, or contact customer support and ask for the account to be closed.
- 4
Confirm the closure
Keep the confirmation message. It is your record that the request was made and when.
- 5
Clean up afterwards
Unsubscribe from marketing, remove stored cards from your browser and delete the app if it is installed.
If you are closing because play has become a problem, consider choosing self-exclusion instead of, or alongside, a plain closure. A closed account may leave the door open to return later, while self-exclusion makes the break something you cannot undo on a weak moment. When in doubt, pick the stronger option. You can always play again later, but you cannot take back money already spent.
What to do if a limit or break did not work
Sometimes a tool does not behave the way you expected. A deposit may still go through, a limit may look different from what you entered, or a break may not seem to have started. Do not carry on playing while you work it out. Treat the situation as paused until it is sorted, and take these steps in order.
- Stop playing and log out. Do not test whether the setting works by depositing.
- Take a screenshot of the settings page and any confirmation message, including the date and time.
- Check that you saved the change. Some settings need a final confirm button to take effect.
- Contact customer support, describe exactly what happened and attach the screenshots.
- Ask for written confirmation of the limit, time-out or exclusion once it is fixed.
If you are not satisfied with the reply, you can raise the matter with the regulator. Ontario sites operate under AGCO and iGO oversight, and Alberta joined the regulated market on 13 July 2026, so complaints about how a site handles player protection are taken seriously. Keep every message, because a clear paper trail makes any complaint easier to follow.
Also be honest with yourself. If you keep finding ways around your own limits, such as moving money between methods or asking for a limit to be raised right away, the tools are working but the urge is stronger than the setting. That is the moment to switch to a longer break and to talk to someone, which the next section covers.

Deposit limits FAQ
How do I set a deposit limit at OLG 50 Casino?
Sign in, open the responsible gambling area of your account and choose the deposit limit option. Pick a daily, weekly or monthly period, enter an amount in C$ and save. Take a screenshot of the confirmation so you have a record of what you set.
Can I choose daily, weekly and monthly limits together?
Many players set a monthly ceiling and a smaller weekly or daily cap inside it. That way the budget cannot be spent in one burst. Check your settings page to see which periods your account offers, and make sure the smaller caps fit comfortably inside the monthly figure.
What happens when I reach my deposit limit?
Further deposits are blocked until the period resets. You can still manage your account and withdraw any balance you have. If you feel tempted to raise the limit straight away, take a short time-out first and ask yourself whether the extra money is really spare.
What is the difference between a time-out and self-exclusion?
A time-out is a short pause that you choose and that ends on its own. Self-exclusion is a longer, more serious break meant for players who want a firm stop. If you are unsure which fits, the longer option is the safer choice, since you can always play again later.
Does a credit card deposit count toward my limit?
Your limit applies to deposits on the account, whichever method you use. Keep in mind that in Canada a credit card deposit is treated as a cash advance, which can bring fees and interest. A debit card or bank-based method is usually a gentler way to fund play.
How do I close my OLG 50 Casino account?
Withdraw your remaining balance first, then use the account closure option in your settings or ask customer support to close it. Keep the confirmation message. Afterwards, unsubscribe from marketing and remove saved cards. If you want a firm break rather than a plain closure, consider self-exclusion.
Who can I talk to if gambling is becoming a problem?
ConnexOntario offers free, confidential support for people in Ontario, and responsiblegambling.org has guides and self-checks. You can also speak to a family doctor, your bank or someone you trust. Reaching out early is easier than waiting, and it never costs anything.
