# Entity Limits

Fine-tune your risk settings with granular control at the sport, competition, or fixture level. Entity Limits use a hierarchical tree layout for precise, scalable risk management.

***

## Access

Navigate to **DEFEND** → **Risk Controls** → **Entity Limits** (Sports Limits tab) in the platform sidebar.

***

## Prerequisites

Entity limit configuration depends on your feed integration. **You must stream feed data to apply entity limits upon the entities structure/hierarchy.**

***

## Page Layout

The page is divided into two sections:

| Section                  | Description                                    |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Limits Table**         | Displays existing sports limits                |
| **Limits Configuration** | Configuration panel for selected or new limits |
