Cooling-off

A short delay (typically 24 hours) imposed before any change that would increase a player's exposure — such as raising a deposit limit.

In detail

Increasing a deposit limit, lifting a self-imposed time limit, or removing a max-bet cap all take effect after the cooling-off window. Reductions take effect immediately. Cooling-off is a regulatory floor, not a ceiling: many operators apply longer waits or additional friction (such as a verification email) for sensitive changes.
