LegalDeposit limits
How deposit-limit pre-commitment tools work under the National Consumer Protection Framework.
The offer at account opening
earlycrown provides deposit-limit tools so customers can set, lower, increase or remove a limit on how much they can deposit over a selected period. The offer of a deposit limit is presented during account opening in accordance with the National Consumer Protection Framework. The Framework mandates that the offer of a deposit limit be presented; it does not set the limit amount, which the customer chooses.
What counts as a deposit
A deposit is any transfer of funds into your account, across every funding channel and payment instrument. Limits apply to the total deposited within the selected reset period, regardless of how many transactions or channels are used.
Changing a limit
Decreases take effect immediately. Increases observe a seven-day cool-off, after which you are asked to re-confirm the new figure before it applies.
Removing a limit
Removal of a deposit limit is treated as an increase and is subject to the same seven-day cool-off and re-confirmation before it takes effect.
Annual review for customers without a limit
Customers who declined to set a deposit limit at account opening are prompted again at minimum every 12 months to review their decision.
Reset periods, defaults, minimum and maximum
Limits can be set over daily, weekly or monthly reset periods. There is no default limit imposed; the customer chooses the amount and period. Operational minimum and maximum values and the reset cycle are shown inside the account when a limit is set.
Notifications
You receive a notification as your deposits approach the limit (at 80%) and when the limit is reached (at 100%) for the current period.
At-limit behaviour
Once the limit for a period is reached, further deposits are declined until the period resets or a decrease or increase takes effect under the rules above. A deposit limit operates across every channel used to fund the account.
Records, BetStop and activity statements
Limit settings and changes are retained on a seven-year audit trail consistent with the AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth). Deposit limits operate alongside, and are independent of, the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop); a registered customer cannot deposit at all. Your deposit activity is also summarised in your activity statements.
