2. Principles of Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at addd7 means staying in control of your gaming activities and ensuring they have a positive, not negative, impact on your life. We want you to enjoy gaming as entertainment, not as a way to make money. There are key principles of responsible gaming that every player should follow:

Set a Budget

Always set a budget before playing that you can afford to lose. This amount should be separate from your essential expenses like food, housing, healthcare, or education. Your gambling budget should come from your entertainment fund, not living expenses. Once your budget is exhausted, stop playing and don't try to deposit more money. addd7 gives you the option to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits so you can keep your spending under control.

Manage Your Time

Keep track of how much time you're spending on gaming. Long sessions can affect your judgment and lead you to make poor decisions. Take regular breaks and ensure gambling doesn't interfere with your work, family, or social life. addd7 provides session timers and reality check tools that remind you how long you've been playing. Maintain a healthy balance and don't let gaming become your only activity.

Don't chase losses

Losing at gambling is normal and inevitable. Never try to place bigger bets to recover your losses. "Chasing losses" is one of the most dangerous behaviors and leads to even bigger losses. If you have a bad day or session, stop and walk away. Remember that gambling is based on chance and there's no such thing as a "hot streak" or "due to win." Every bet is independent and previous outcomes don't influence future results.

Avoid Alcohol

Avoid playing under the influence of alcohol or drugs as they impair your judgment and decision-making ability. Play with a calm and clear mind so you can make rational decisions and stick to your set limits.

Don't play based on emotion

Don't gamble when you're stressed, depressed, angry, or frustrated. Gambling should never be a way to cope with emotional problems or an escape from stress. It should only be entertainment when you're in a good mood and healthy mental state.

Maintain other interests

Ensure you have other hobbies, interests, and activities in your life besides gambling. Spend time with your family and friends, engage in physical activities, and pursue your professional and personal goals. Living a balanced life helps prevent problem gambling.

Deposit limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and stay within your budget. You can adjust your limits at any time.

Session Timer

Set time limits for your gaming sessions. The system will remind you when your set time expires.

Reality Check

Get regular pop-ups showing you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost.

Self-Exclusion

Close your account temporarily or permanently if you need a break. 7 days to 6 months or permanent exclusion.

Loss limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits so you don't lose more than you can afford.

Betting Limits

Set the maximum amount for each bet so you don't risk too much on a single wager.

3. Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is behavior where gambling starts to have a negative impact on your life and spirals out of your control. It's important to recognize that you or someone you know may have a problem so help can be sought in time. Below are some warning signs of problem gambling:

Feeling restless, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble

Hiding your gambling activities from family and friends

Relationships with family and friends suffering because of gambling

Thinking about doing dishonest or illegal things to get money for gambling

Gambling is your only thought and you've lost interest in everything else

Tried to stop or reduce gambling several times but failed

Seek help immediately

If you're experiencing multiple signs listed above, it's likely a signal that you need help. Please contact our support team or a professional gambling counselor immediately. Acknowledging the problem is a sign of strength and the first step toward recovery. You are not alone and help is available.

4. Self-Control Tools and Measures

Addd7 offers a range of self-control tools to help you manage your gaming activities and play responsibly. These tools are available in your account settings and can be activated at any time:

Deposit limits

Limit how much you can deposit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Requests to increase limits take effect after a 24-72 hour cooling-off period.

Loss limits

Set the maximum you can lose within a specific period. Once the limit is reached, you cannot bet more until the period ends.

Betting Limits

Set a maximum amount for every single bet or spin. This protects you from impulsive high-risk bets.

Session Time Limit

Set time limits for each gaming session. When time expires, you'll be automatically logged out and encouraged to take a break.

Reality Check Reminder

Get pop-up notifications at regular intervals showing you how long you've been playing and a summary of your transactions.

Time-out break

Take a short break from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time you cannot log in but the account remains active.

Self-Exclusion Program

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool you can use if you feel your gaming is getting out of control. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be closed for the selected period and you cannot log in, deposit, or participate in any gaming activities. addd7 offers the following self-exclusion options:

  • Self-Exclusion for 7 days: Take a full week's break and review your gambling behavior.
  • Self-Exclusion for 1 month: A month-long break to help you gain distance and perspective.
  • Self-Exclusion for 3 months: A three-month exclusion helps break problematic behavior and build new habits.
  • Self-Exclusion for 6 months: Long-term break for those facing serious problems.
  • Permanent Self-Exclusion: Close your account permanently if you believe it's the best decision for you.

During the self-exclusion period, you cannot reopen your account and addd7 will not process any requests until the selected period is fully completed. In the case of permanent self-exclusion, your account will never be reopened. We strongly encourage you to seek professional help and counseling when using self-exclusion.

How to activate Self-Exclusion

Go to your account settings, click the "Responsible Gaming" section, and select "Self-Exclusion." Choose the duration and confirm your decision. If you're unsure, our support team can guide you through the process.

5. Protecting Minors

Addd7 strictly prohibits gambling by minors. Our platform is for individuals aged 18 and above only. We have age verification systems in place and verify government-issued IDs during registration. If we discover a minor is using our site, we will immediately close the account and void all bets. Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's online activities and protecting them from accessing gambling sites.

We advise parents to use parental control software that can block access to gambling and adult sites. Some popular free and paid options include Net Nanny, Qustodio, Norton Family, and built-in parental controls on Windows and macOS. These tools let you block specific websites, restrict browsing time, and track your child's online activity. If you suspect a minor is using addd7, please notify our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
