How to set betting limits
Decide the number before the match does it for you.
It's easy to lose track of betting a little at a time, one extra deposit after another. A limit set on a calm day takes that choice away. Here's what you can set on KhelKing, how to ask for it, and how to pick a number.

01In brief
How do you set a betting limit?
To set a betting limit on KhelKing, message support on WhatsApp with the daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit you want, and it's applied to your account straight away. You can also turn on session time alerts, or take a temporary or permanent break through self-exclusion. Support is online 24/7.

Your rule
03Six steps
How do you set a deposit limit, step by step?
Set it before a big tournament or a long weekend of matches, while you're thinking clearly.
01Step 1 of 6
Pick your number
Work out what you could lose this month without touching rent, bills or savings. Your limit should sit well inside that amount.
Never count borrowed money, whether it's credit or a loan from friends or family.
02Step 2 of 6
Choose the period
A monthly limit suits most budgets. A daily or weekly limit spreads it out, so one big match night can't use up the month.
03Step 3 of 6
Message support
Send support the limit and the period on WhatsApp, for example a weekly deposit limit of ₹1,000. The planner below writes the message for you.
04Step 4 of 6
It's applied straight away
Support sets the limit on your account and it works from that moment. Ask them to confirm it in the chat so you have it in writing.
05Step 5 of 6
Add alerts or a break
In the same message you can ask for session time alerts, or for a temporary break if you want time away.
06Step 6 of 6
Review it after a few weeks
Check whether the limit held. You can ask support to lower it at any time.
If you want to raise a limit, wait a day before you ask. A decision made after a loss is rarely the one you'd make the next morning.
04Planner
How much should your limit be?
Start from the money you have left each month after rent, bills and savings. Many players set a monthly deposit limit of 5 to 10 percent of that. With ₹10,000 spare, it's ₹500 to ₹1,000.
Start at the lower end. It's easier to stick to a limit that feels a little tight than to rebuild one you've already broken.
