Why does Responsible Gambling matter?
When does betting become a problem
At 7 Betting, we want you to enjoy the experience over the long run. Betting is naturally a form of entertainment — much like going to the movies or dining out. But there are signs that indicate when betting has stopped being just fun.
If you notice yourself repeatedly betting to chase losses, hiding your betting from family and friends, or cutting back on essential expenses to fund your bets — stop and ask yourself an honest question. 7 Betting wants you to get the support you need right now.
How to Build Healthy Betting Habits
Building healthy betting habits isn't difficult — it just takes a few simple rules. First and foremost, never think of betting as a source of income. It's a form of entertainment, and whatever you spend on it should be treated as part of your entertainment budget — if you lose, don't be disheartened; think of it as the price of that entertainment.
At the start of each month, set a budget for yourself on 7 Betting and stick to it no matter what — even when that voice in your head says "just one more bet and I'll win it back." That feeling is often what leads to the biggest losses. The budget limit feature on 7 Betting is your best friend right now.
Protecting Your Family & Loved Ones
If you have children at home, make sure your 7 Betting account has a strong password and that no login details are saved on your devices. If kids use your phone or tablet, keep a PIN lock or Face ID enabled.
If you believe a family member is struggling with a betting addiction, 7 Betting's support team can provide information on third-party assistance. Family members may also request Self-Exclusion on their behalf — just provide proof of identity and your relationship.
7 Betting's Advice
- Only bet with disposable income — never with money set aside for essential expenses
- After a loss, don't place a "revenge bet" out of anger or frustration
- Avoid betting when drunk or drowsy
- Resist the temptation to place bigger bets after a win
- Take regular breaks — 5 minutes of rest after every 30 minutes of play
