Responsible Gaming Tools at 7Bit

Set deposit limits, take a break or self-exclude whenever you need to. We build our platform around player control, not just play.

Playing Smart at 7Bit

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Pokies and live tables are entertainment, not income. Below is exactly how we help Australian players keep it that way, and where to get free, confidential support if things stop feeling fun.

7Bit is for adults only. You must be 18 years or older to register an account, deposit funds or play any game on our platform, no exceptions. Age checks apply during verification and any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately and any balance is void.

Deposit Limits: Set Your Own Ceiling

From your account settings you can cap how much you deposit in AUD per day, week or month. Once a limit is set, our system blocks further deposits until the period resets, even if you try again from a different card or crypto wallet linked to your profile. This is not a suggestion, it is a hard stop built into the cashier.

If you want to lower a limit, it applies straight away. If you want to raise it, we build in a cooling-off period before the increase takes effect. That delay is deliberate. It gives you time to reconsider outside the heat of a session.

Reality Checks: A Tap on the Shoulder

Turn on reality check pop-ups and 7Bit will interrupt your session every 30, 60 or 90 minutes, your choice, with a simple summary: how long you have been playing and your net result for the session. You can close it and continue or log out. Either way, it breaks the autopilot that long pokies sessions can create.

We recommend pairing reality checks with a phone alarm or calendar reminder if you are playing during a long weekend or public holiday, when sessions tend to run longer than planned.

Timeouts and Self-Exclusion

Need a short break? Use the cooling-off timeout to lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. You will not be able to log in or be shown any marketing emails during that window.

Need something more permanent? Self-exclusion closes your account for a longer period you choose, up to indefinitely. Contact our support team to activate it. We do not ask you to justify the request and we do not attempt to talk you out of it. Once self-exclusion is active, reopening the account before the period ends is not possible through normal channels.

Warning Signs Worth Noticing

Chasing losses, borrowing to fund play, hiding deposits from a partner, or feeling irritable when you try to stop are common early signals. None of them mean you have failed. They mean it is time to use a tool: a deposit limit, a timeout, or a call to Gambling Help Online. Acting early is easier than acting late.

Practical Habits We Encourage

  • Set a session budget in AUD before you deposit via PayID, POLi, card or crypto, and stop when it is gone
  • Never deposit to chase a previous loss back
  • Treat wins as a good session ending, not a signal to keep going
  • Take a break every hour, longer if you are playing live dealer tables for extended periods
  • Avoid playing when affected by alcohol or during high-stress periods
  • Keep gambling money separate from bills, rent and savings

Playing Smart at 7Bit

What is the minimum age to play at 7Bit?

18 years old, no exceptions. We verify age during account checks and close any underage account along with voiding its balance.

How do I set a deposit limit in AUD?

Log in and go to Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming. Choose a daily, weekly or monthly AUD cap. Lowering it applies instantly, raising it involves a short cooling-off period before it takes effect.

Can I self-exclude permanently?

Yes. Contact our support team and request self-exclusion for the period you want, including indefinitely. Once active, the account cannot be reopened early through standard support channels.

Where can Australians get free gambling support?

Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential counselling 24/7 on 1800 858 858 or at https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/. You do not need to be in crisis to call, they also help with general questions about your play.

Do reality check pop-ups slow down my session?

They pause it briefly to show your session length and net result, then let you choose to continue or log out. You can set them to appear every 30, 60 or 90 minutes from your account settings.
