Responsible Gaming

7BitCasino is committed to supporting a safe, balanced and informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. This page explains practical steps you can take to stay in control, recognise warning signs and access additional support when needed.

7BitCasino operates under licence OGL/2023/174/0082 issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority and licence 0000091 from the Tobique Gaming Commission.

Gamble for entertainment, not income

Gambling involves risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Every wager can result in a loss, including wagers made after previous losses or wins. Games are designed to produce uncertain outcomes, so past results do not predict future results. A winning streak does not mean another win is due, and a loss does not make a win more likely.

For players in Australia, gambling should remain one form of leisure among many. Only use money that you can comfortably afford to lose after essential expenses, savings and other financial commitments have been considered. Never use money set aside for rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education or other necessities. Do not borrow money, use credit intended for essential expenses or sell possessions to fund gambling.

Before you play, decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend. Treat that amount as the cost of entertainment rather than an investment. Once the time or money limit has been reached, stop playing. Avoid increasing your budget simply because you are winning, losing or feeling emotional.

Practical habits for safer play

Set a personal spending limit before starting a session.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks away from the screen.
Keep gambling separate from household and essential finances.
Track deposits, wagers and losses so your activity remains visible.
Avoid gambling when affected by alcohol, drugs, tiredness or strong emotions.
Do not chase losses or increase bets to try to recover money quickly.
Balance gambling with work, study, family, exercise and other interests.
Discuss your limits with someone you trust if you find it difficult to follow them.

Recognising when gambling may be a problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually. You do not need to lose a particular amount of money, play every day or experience serious financial harm before seeking help. If gambling is becoming difficult to control or is affecting your wellbeing, relationships, work or finances, support may be useful.

Consider whether any of the following statements apply to you. You may be spending more time or money gambling than you intended, thinking about gambling throughout the day, or feeling restless when you try to stop. You may be returning to gambling to win back losses, hiding your activity from family or friends, borrowing money, missing work or study, or neglecting important responsibilities.

Other warning signs can include feeling anxious, frustrated, guilty or low after gambling; using gambling to escape stress or difficult feelings; arguing with people close to you about gambling; or repeatedly promising to stop without being able to do so. Financial warning signs may include unpaid bills, overdue commitments, unexplained withdrawals or relying on gambling to meet everyday expenses.

A warning sign does not mean that you have failed or that change is impossible. It is an indication that taking action may be helpful. Acting early can make it easier to regain control. Speak openly with a trusted person and consider contacting an Australian gambling support service, a qualified counsellor, a health professional or a financial counsellor.

If someone you know is affected

If you are concerned about a family member, friend or colleague, choose a calm and private time to talk. Describe the behaviour you have noticed without blame, listen to their response and encourage professional support. Avoid lending money to cover gambling losses or taking responsibility for managing all of their gambling-related problems. You can seek advice for yourself as well, because gambling harm can affect families and relationships.

Tools to help you stay in control

Personal limits can help make gambling activity more deliberate and easier to monitor. Depending on the features available on the site, you may be able to request or apply controls relating to deposits, wagers, losses, session time, account access or cooling-off periods. These controls are intended to support your decisions and should be used before gambling becomes difficult to manage.

Choose limits that reflect what you can genuinely afford, rather than an amount you hope to afford later. A limit should not be treated as a target or an invitation to gamble up to that amount. If you reach your limit, stop for the relevant period. Do not open another account, use another person’s account or look for ways around a restriction.

Review your budget and decide what amount, if any, is available for entertainment.
Apply a spending or time limit before beginning a session.
Record your activity and check whether your actual behaviour matches your plan.
Take a break if you feel disappointed, excited, angry or tempted to chase losses.
Ask for a temporary break or account restriction if you need distance from gambling.
Consider a longer-term or permanent exclusion if short breaks are not enough.
Remove saved payment methods and reduce access to gambling prompts where possible.
Talk to a support service or health professional if you cannot maintain your limits.

A cooling-off period or self-exclusion request is a serious commitment. During a restriction, you should not attempt to access services through another account or provide access to another person. If you believe your account should be restricted, contact the available support channel through the website. We will handle requests in line with the applicable account procedures and legal requirements.

Protecting your account

Keep your login details private and do not allow other people to gamble through your account. Account access should be used only by the registered account holder. If you believe another person has accessed your account, stop using it and contact the available support channel as soon as possible. Account security can help prevent unauthorised activity, but it cannot replace responsible decisions about gambling.

Getting help and taking the next step

If gambling is causing stress, financial difficulty or conflict, help is available. Australian players can contact a recognised gambling-help organisation in their state or territory, speak with a general practitioner or psychologist, or seek advice from a qualified financial counsellor. These services can provide confidential guidance, practical strategies and referrals suited to your circumstances.

You may find it easier to ask for help by preparing a short summary of what is happening. Consider noting how often you gamble, how much money and time you spend, whether you have borrowed money, and how gambling affects your mood or relationships. You do not need to have perfect records before reaching out. A support professional can help you understand the situation and decide what to do next.

If you are experiencing immediate danger, feel unable to keep yourself safe or are concerned about someone else’s immediate safety, contact emergency services in Australia or attend the nearest hospital emergency department. Gambling concerns can be treated seriously, particularly when they are connected with severe distress, substance use, family violence or thoughts of self-harm.

7BitCasino encourages players to take responsible gaming seriously. We may provide general information and account-based tools, but these tools are not a substitute for professional advice. If you are unsure whether gambling is suitable for you, the safest option is to pause or stop and seek guidance. Your wellbeing is more important than continuing to play.

A simple personal plan

Decide whether gambling fits within your current budget and wellbeing needs.
Set clear money and time limits before you play.
Never chase losses or gamble with essential funds.
Review your behaviour regularly and act on early warning signs.
Tell a trusted person about your plan and ask them to support you.
Use a break, restriction or self-exclusion option whenever you need it.
Seek professional help promptly if gambling is affecting your life.
