Beyond general responsible gaming advice, most Yono apps include specific in-app tools to help you set boundaries on your own play. Here’s how to use them.
Setting a Deposit Limit
Many apps let you cap the maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week, or month directly from account settings. Once set, the app will block further deposits until the limit period resets — a useful guardrail against impulsive spending.
Session Timers and Reminders
- Some apps let you set a play-session timer that prompts a break reminder after a set duration.
- Track your total time in-app through the account activity log, if available.
- Use your phone’s own screen time controls as a backup if the app doesn’t offer built-in timers.
Cooldown and Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, look for a “cooldown” or “self-exclusion” option in account settings, which temporarily locks your account from play for a period you choose. This is a genuine safety feature, not a punishment — using it is a sign of responsible play, not app failure.
This is separate from our broader Responsible Gaming Tips for Players guide, which covers general safer-play habits across the category. Real-money gaming is for users 18+ only.
FAQ
Can I remove a deposit limit once set?
Most apps apply a cooling-off period before a limit can be increased or removed, by design, to prevent impulsive reversal.
Does every Yono app offer self-exclusion tools?
Not all apps have identical features — check your specific app’s account settings to see what limit tools are available.
Where can I get help if gaming feels out of control?
Reach out to a counselling helpline in your region, or speak to a trusted person — treat it the same as any habit you want support managing.
