To control what&#8217;s already in your account, use a loss limit; to control your hours, use a session time limit.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #04424c; border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff; display: block; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 17px;\">How long does it take for a higher limit to kick in?<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #dff4f8;\">Raising a limit comes with a waiting period of a few days before it applies.

It blocks access for a short period and ends on its own when the time is up, with no explanation needed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #04424c; border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff; display: block; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 17px;\">I&#8217;m a relative of someone with a betting problem \u2014 can I call too?<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #dff4f8;\">Yes. The NACADA helpline 1192 also supports affected families, and it&#8217;s often a family member who makes the first call.
