Define thresholds for single, multiple, and system bets across PreMatch, InPlay, and Outright markets. *** ## Access Navigate to **DEFEND** → **Risk Controls** → **Platform Limits** in the platform sidebar. *** ## Overview Platform Limits provide a structured framework of rules applied to different bet types: * **Single bets** — Individual wagers on a single outcome * **Multiple bets** — Parlays/accumulators combining multiple selections * **System bets** — Combinations of multiple bets with various permutations Limits can be configured by: * Bet amount (stake) * Potential risk * Maximum winnings * Bet repeatability * Time range *** ## Creating a New Limit Click **+New** to open the limit setup. A new limit has four steps: **Details**, **PreMatch Matches**, **InPlay Matches**, and **Outrights**. Use **Next** and **Back** to move between them. **Next** unlocks once you scroll through every category on the current step. ### Limit Actions Every rule has its own action. It decides what happens to a bet slip that exceeds the limit: | Action | What happens | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Reject** (default) | DEFEND rejects the bet slip automatically | | **Check** | The bet slip goes to [Bet Referral](/u/defend/bet-monitor.md#bet-referral), where a trader accepts or rejects it | ### Step 1: Details | Field | Description | Default | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | **Limit Name** | Name shown in the Limits List (required) | — | | **Platform Max Risk** | Optional. Maximum risk tolerance across the platform | 25,500 | | **Date Range** | Days the limit is active (required) | Today | | **Limit Time Slot** | Hours of each day the limit applies (required) | 00:01 - 23:59 | | **Description** | Optional. 3-100 characters | — | **Validation Rules:** * End time cannot precede start time * Overlapping time ranges are not allowed * Platform Max Risk range: 10 - 100,000,000 *** ### Step 2: PreMatch Matches Define limits for Single, Multiple, and System Bets in PreMatch markets. Set a value and an action (Check or Reject) for each rule. | Field | Description | | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | **Bet Max Risk** | Total amount the company is willing to lose on single bets | | **Max Bet Amount** | Maximum stake value accepted for a single bet | | **Min Bet Amount** | Minimum stake value allowed for a single bet | | **Max Winning** | Maximum payout per bet per customer | | **Max Odds** | Maximum odds the system will accept | | **Min Odds** | Minimum odds the system will accept | | **Max Winning Percentage** | Ratio of winning bets to all bets taken | | **Max Repeated For Bet** | Maximum total stake allowed for repeated bets per day | | **Cumulative For Repeated Bet** | Maximum number of times the same bet can be placed per day | | **Max Winning for Ongoing PreMatch Bet** | Total potential winnings from unsettled PreMatch bets | **Validation:** * Numeric inputs only * Range: 10 - 100,000,000 *** ### Step 3: InPlay Matches Define limits for InPlay betting. Set a value and an action (Check or Reject) for each rule. | Field | Description | | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Bet Max Risk** | Maximum stake for a single live bet | | **Max Win InPlay** | Maximum payout for a single InPlay bet | | **Max Winning Percentage** | Ratio of winning bets to all bets. Off by default; switch it on with its toggle. Uses a fixed percentage and the Check action | | **Max Winning for Ongoing Bet** | Total potential winnings from unsettled InPlay bets | *** ### Step 4: Outrights Define limits for outright markets. Outrights are PreMatch only. Set a value and an action (Check or Reject) for each rule. | Field | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | **Bet Max Risk** | Maximum loss the platform tolerates on single bets | | **Max Bet Amount** | Maximum stake value accepted per bet | | **Min Bet Amount** | Minimum stake value allowed per bet | | **Max Winning** | Maximum winnings allowed for a single bet (Lay to Lose) | {% hint style="warning" %} Outrights currently support **Single** bets. Multiple and System bets for outrights are coming soon. {% endhint %} Click **Save** to finalize the configuration. *** ## Managing Limits ### Actions | Action | Description | | ----------- | ----------------------------------------- | | **Save** | Activate the new limit and send to server | | **Cancel** | Delete the new limit without saving | | **Discard** | Clear all inputs for the current step | | **Delete** | Remove an existing limit permanently | ### Review and Edit * Open an existing limit and use the **Details**, **Matches**, and **Outrights** tabs to review or modify its configuration * Same input fields and validations apply as in creation *** ## General Restrictions * **Active limits** are displayed at the top of the limits list * **Time range logic:** Define the date range and specific time frame for when the limit is active. For example, if the date range is 19/1 to 25/1 with a time frame of 23:00 to 8:00, the limit will be applied during those hours on each day within that range. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.lsports.eu/u/defend/risk-controls/platform-limits.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
