Responsible Gambling
Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, and it carries financial risk and the possibility of harm. 7bet supports responsible gambling and provides tools and information to help you stay in control, in line with UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) requirements. This page summarises the main principles and safeguards available. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and never treat betting as a source of income. For related rules, see the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
Minimum age
Participation is limited to individuals aged 18 or over, the legal gambling age in the United Kingdom. Protecting minors is a priority: age is verified before you can deposit or play, and accounts without valid age confirmation are restricted or closed. Keep your 7bet login credentials away from anyone under 18, and consider blocking software such as GAMBAN or Net Nanny on shared devices.
Self-control tools
A range of tools is available to help you manage your activity, accessible from your account dashboard.
Deposit, loss and time limits
You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss limits, along with wager and session time limits, to keep your play within a planned budget. Reality-check reminders can be enabled to prompt you at set intervals during a session.
Cool-off and self-exclusion
A cool-off period lets you pause your account from 24 hours to six weeks. Self-exclusion is available for longer periods, from six months up to five years. You can also register with GAMSTOP, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, which blocks access to all UKGC-licensed operators at once. During these periods, access to gambling is blocked and marketing is stopped.
How to self-exclude
- Open the Responsible Gambling section in your account settings.
- Choose a cool-off or self-exclusion period that suits you.
- Confirm the request; access is blocked immediately once applied.
- For a scheme-wide block, register free at gamstop.co.uk.
Warning signs
Problem gambling can show through several signs. Consider taking a break or seeking support if you notice any of the following.
- Betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses with more bets
- Neglecting work, studies or relationships
- Gambling to escape stress or negative feelings
- Losing track of time or money spent
