How does Jackpot.com help you to stay in control?
Jackpot.com offers several options/tools to help you stay in control, such as:

Control your spending by using our deposit limit tool! You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Any decrease to your deposit limit will be implemented straight away. However, any request to increase your limit will undergo a 24-hour cooling off period, to give you some time to review your decision, in case you change your mind.
Head to: My Account > Account Details > Deposit Limits > Choose amount limit and click on Save. Or click HERE.REALITY CHECK
Control the amount of time you spend playing by receiving an alert when you hit the time limit you have set. This “Reality Check” reminder will enable you to make a more informed decision on your next step.
