Enter a limit and its period; the planner converts it to daily, weekly and monthly amounts and compares it with a budget you type in. Nothing is stored or sent. It does not recommend an amount. Free 24/7 support: 1800 936 725, per the GRAI list checked on 7 November 2026.

## Use the planner

Inputs: a limit and its period (day, week or month), your monthly budget in €, and the minutes you play on a day. Outputs: the daily, weekly and monthly equivalents, the share of your budget, and hours a month.

The table below shows the same examples without the calculator.

**In short:** type your own numbers; the planner converts and compares, nothing more.

## The formulas

A year has 365 days and 52 weeks, so a month is 365 ÷ 12 days or 52 ÷ 12 weeks.

- Daily to weekly: daily × 7.
- Daily to monthly: daily × 365 ÷ 12.
- Weekly to daily: weekly ÷ 7.
- Weekly to monthly: weekly × 52 ÷ 12.
- Monthly to daily: monthly × 12 ÷ 365.
- Monthly to weekly: monthly × 12 ÷ 52.
- Share of budget: monthly equivalent ÷ your monthly budget.
- Hours a month: minutes a day × 365 ÷ 12 ÷ 60.

Amounts are rounded to the cent. The monthly equivalent of a weekly limit is an average, because months differ in length.

**In short:** one year of 365 days and 52 weeks, divided into twelve months.

| Example | You enter | Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Compared with budget |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Daily limit €10 | €10.00 | €70.00 | €304.17 | No budget entered |
| 2 | Weekly limit €50 | €7.14 | €50.00 | €216.67 | No budget entered |
| 3 | Monthly limit €200 | €6.58 | €46.15 | €200.00 | No budget entered |
| 4 | Weekly limit €25, budget €80 a month | €3.57 | €25.00 | €108.33 | 135.4% of budget: above it |
| 5 | Monthly limit €100, budget €150 a month | €3.29 | €23.08 | €100.00 | 66.7% of budget |
| 6 | 20 minutes a day | 20 × 365 ÷ 12 ÷ 60 = 10.14 hours a month | Time, not money |  |  |

Example 4 shows why the comparison matters: a weekly limit of €25 looks small, but it allows €108.33 a month.

**In short:** convert a limit to monthly before you compare it with a monthly budget.

## What the planner does not do

- It does not recommend a limit, and it does not know your income or your costs.
- It does not set a limit in any app. Limits are set inside the operator's app or account.
- It does not store or send what you type.
- A licensee must give players a way to set a money limit (s.164); the planner only helps you choose a figure to enter there.

**In short:** a calculator for arithmetic, not advice on how much to bet.
