Responsible Gambling: stay in control of your play
This Responsible Gambling guide helps Australian players make clear, informed choices before, during and after using 7Signs Casino. The main action is simple: choose the control or support step that best protects your time, budget and wellbeing.
Choose your next safe step
Start with the option that matches how you feel right now. There is no need to wait for a problem to become urgent before using a responsible gambling tool.
I want to keep playing within a plan
Set a personal spend, deposit or session-time limit before opening games. Keep the amount affordable after your essential costs are covered.
Set a personal limitI need a short break
Use a timeout or cooling-off period to put distance between an urge and the next decision. Use the break to do something that changes your routine.
Request a timeoutI want to stop gambling
Choose self-exclusion and get support. In Australia, BetStop can help eligible users exclude themselves from licensed online and phone wagering providers.

Responsible gambling controls work best when they are chosen in advance and matched to your own circumstances. Review available account settings regularly, especially after a change to income, living costs or stress levels.
- 1Check your essential spending firstRent, food, transport, bills, debt repayments and savings goals should never depend on gambling outcomes.
- 2Choose one clear boundaryFor example: “I will not deposit more than my entertainment budget this week” or “I will stop after 30 minutes.”
- 3Apply the control in your accountUse the responsible gambling area in your account or contact support if you need help locating a setting.
- 4Make the break usefulTurn off promotional notifications, step away from gambling content and plan a practical alternative activity before your next session.
A practical limits checklist
Use this guide to decide which type of boundary is most helpful. Available controls and processing times can vary by account and should be confirmed in the relevant account area or with support.
| Control | What it helps you manage | A practical example | Useful reminder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | The amount you choose to add to your balance within a defined period. | Set a weekly amount that is separate from bills, savings and repayments. | A lower limit can support a safer entertainment budget. |
| Loss limit | The amount you decide you can afford to lose during a period. | Stop after a pre-set amount instead of increasing stakes to recover losses. | Losses should never be chased. |
| Session reminder | The amount of time you spend playing. | Use a reminder every 30 or 60 minutes to stop and reassess. | A reminder is your cue to take a real break away from the screen. |
| Timeout | A short pause from account access or gambling activity. | Choose a break after an impulsive deposit, a stressful day or repeated play. | Use the time to talk to someone or review your budget. |
| Self-exclusion | A longer-term decision to stop access to gambling services. | Choose this option when gambling is causing harm, pressure or loss of control. | Support services can help you plan the next steps. |
Take a quick wellbeing check
These visual guides are not a diagnosis. They are a simple way to spot when gambling may be taking up more space than you intended.
Personal balance meter
Aim for gambling to remain a small, planned part of your free time and budget.
A pause plan in four moments
Use a simple sequence when an urge feels strong or you are tempted to keep playing.
Name the urge without acting on it.
Step away from the device for at least 10 minutes.
Call someone, get outside or do another activity.
Use a limit, timeout or support service if needed.
Signals worth acting on
The more of these signals you recognise, the more important it is to pause and seek support.

Build habits that make gambling easier to manage
Small actions can reduce pressure and create space between an impulse and a decision. Choose the habits that are realistic for you, then repeat them consistently.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose after essential costs and savings have been covered.
- Do not gamble when you are tired, upset, stressed, lonely, affected by alcohol or trying to escape a difficult situation.
- Set an alarm before you start and physically leave the device when it goes off.
- Keep gambling separate from financial problem-solving. Winning is never guaranteed and outcomes are random.
- Tell a trusted person about your limits if you want extra accountability.
Try a simple personal commitment
Write down a short rule you can follow without negotiation. Keep it specific, measurable and easy to remember.
Put the reminder somewhere visible before you play. A note on your phone, a calendar event or a conversation with someone you trust can help make your plan more real.
Support options for Australian players
Reaching out can be useful at any stage. Support is not only for the person gambling; it can also help partners, family members and friends affected by gambling harm.

| Trusted person or financial counsellor | Gambling is affecting your relationships, finances, work or emotional wellbeing. | Tell someone what is happening and ask for help with a specific next step, such as reviewing bills or creating a break plan. | Choose a person or professional you feel safe speaking with. |
Make a support plan before you need it
A short plan can make it easier to act when your judgement feels pressured. Keep the plan simple and save it somewhere private but easy to access.
One person to contact
Choose someone you trust. Let them know what you would like them to do: listen, help you take a break or support you with budgeting.
One immediate action
Decide in advance: log out, request a timeout, delete stored payment details where available, or leave the device in another room.
One support resource
Save an official support page or helpline number so you do not have to search for help in a stressful moment.
