🧠 PICK2WIN - Responsible Gaming & Monthly Deposit Limit Policy (UK)

📅 Effective Date: 1 February 2026
🏢 Operator: PICK2WIN Pvt Ltd (UK)
⚖️ Jurisdiction: England & Wales
🎰 Regulator: UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
🌍 Website: www.pick2win.uk
📨 Support: support@pick2win.uk


🎯 1. Purpose of This Policy

PICK2WIN is designed from the ground up to protect users from financial harm, prevent overspending, and ensure healthy, responsible participation.
This policy explains why deposit limits exist, how they are calculated, and how the platform monitors user behaviour to prevent addiction or financial stress.

All rules in this section are required by the UKGC and are implemented to keep users safe while maintaining platform integrity.


👤 2. Age & Identity Verification (KYC Requirements)

Before a user can withdraw winnings, full KYC must be completed.
However, PICK2WIN allows deposits and subscription purchases before KYC, because:

🟦 Operator Transparency

Forcing KYC on every new account immediately causes large verification expenses — especially when many users register but do not become active players.
This protects the operator from unnecessary cost while still guaranteeing:

No funds can exit the platform without full verification
AML security remains intact
Only genuine UK residents can withdraw winnings

⚠️ Important:
WITHOUT completing full KYC, the user CANNOT withdraw winnings.
Deposits and subscription purchases are allowed but withdrawals are blocked until verification is passed.


💼 3. Wallet Structure (Critical for Responsible Gaming)

💳 Deposit Balance — NON-WITHDRAWABLE (IMPORTANT)

• Deposit Balance is used for entering contests and buying subscriptions.
• It is never withdrawable to external accounts.
• Refunds (e.g., match abandonment) are always credited back to Deposit Balance.
• This ensures no user can misuse the platform as a money-routing channel.

🌟 User Advisory — MUST READ

Do NOT deposit money if you do not intend to join contests.
Depositing without playing wastes user money (due to card processor fees) and burdens the operator with unnecessary transaction costs. This policy protects both the user and PICK2WIN.

The operator will NEVER ask or pressure you to deposit money.
Play only when you genuinely want to — ethically and responsibly.


🏆 Winnings Balance

• Only source of funds that can be withdrawn, after KYC verification.
• Minimum withdrawal: £10
• Subject to AML checks for suspicious behaviour.

🎁 Bonus Balance

• Not withdrawable
• May be used for up to 5% of contest entry fees
• Includes joining bonus, referral bonus, and first-time subscription bonus


💷 4. Monthly Deposit Limit System

PICK2WIN enforces strict monthly deposit limits based on user-declared take-home income.
This prevents overspending and maintains affordability for every user.

🔢 Absolute Maximum Limit: £2,000/month

Deposit limits reset on the 1st of every month at 00:00, using:

GMT during winter months
BST during British Summer Time

The reset always follows the timezone applicable to that specific date.


⚙️ 5. Deposit Limit Rules

• Limits do NOT roll over to next month
• Subscriptions count toward the limit
• User may deposit multiple times until cap is reached
• User may voluntarily lower their limit anytime
• Increasing limits is not allowed without affordability evidence


⚠️ 6. Critical User Warning — Please Read Carefully

Bold Red Rule (for the user’s financial safety):

🟥 DO NOT deposit if you do not plan to use your funds.

Depositing without the intention to join contests harms users financially and increases operator costs.
This platform is built ethically — we expect users to follow ethical behaviour too.

PICK2WIN never encourages deposits.
Users should deposit ONLY when they genuinely wish to participate responsibly.


🔎 7. Behaviour Monitoring & AML Protection

PICK2WIN continually monitors harmful financial patterns, including:

• Rapid deposits inconsistent with declared income
• Night-time high-frequency transaction behaviour
• Sudden changes in deposit habits
• Device/IP anomalies
• Attempts to use the platform for non-gaming financial activity

If detected:

Account review
Temporary restriction
KYC re-verification
Source of Funds request
In severe cases SAR filing to NCA


🧘 8. Cooling-Off & Self-Exclusion Tools

Users may self-exclude or take a break anytime:

• 7-day cooling-off
• 30-day cooling-off
• 6-month self-exclusion

During exclusion:

• Deposits disabled
• Contest entry disabled
• Subscriptions paused
• GAMSTOP cross-platform exclusion applies

These tools exist to protect the user, not to limit freedom.
