Account settings: what you can control

The account area covers profile details, payment settings, security and gambling limits. Knowing what is adjustable - and what requires support - saves frustration later.

01What you can change yourself

Standard self-service items include contact details (with re-verification for phone/email), password, marketing preferences and deposit/payment method management. Responsible gambling limits - deposit caps, session reminders, cooling-off - live in their own section and take effect immediately once confirmed, though raising a limit usually imposes a delay by design.

02What requires support

Name changes (they ripple through FICA and banking), date-of-birth corrections, currency or account-type changes, and any update after a security flag all route through live chat with document checks. If your surname changed since registration, expect to supply the marriage certificate or name-change decree as part of the ticket.

03Security settings worth setting day one

  • Unique password, stored in a manager rather than a browser.
  • Marketing opt-outs if bonus mail tempts you into unplanned deposits.
  • A deposit limit aligned to a real entertainment budget, not an aspiration.
  • Session reminders if you play casino games, where time perception is the operator's ally.

04Settings and bonus traps

Changing registered details during an active bonus can pause wagering progress tracking; screenshot bonus terms and balances before altering anything material. Likewise, closing marketing channels after opting into an email-only promotion can cost you the free spins - read each offer's delivery mechanics first.

QFrequently asked questions

How do I change my phone number at Apex Bets?

Via live chat after identity verification; an SMS confirms the new number.

Can I change my name on the account?

Only through support with documentary proof; it must match FICA records exactly.

Where do I set deposit limits?

In the responsible gambling section of your account; increases typically carry a cooling delay.

Will changing settings affect my bonuses?

Material changes (name, email) can pause bonus tracking mid-wagering; document active offers first.
