Responsible Gaming at abd7

Deposit Limits in Detail

A deposit limit is the simplest and most effective way to ensure that your gambling expenditure stays within a budget you are comfortable with. abd7 allows you to set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once you reach your chosen limit, no further deposits will be accepted until the limit period resets.

Deposit limits can be set, reduced, or removed through your account settings. The following rules apply to all deposit limit changes on abd7:

• Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately — the lower cap applies from the moment you save the change.
• Increasing a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active, giving you time to reconsider.
• Removing a deposit limit entirely also requires a 24-hour waiting period. During that window you can cancel the removal request and the existing limit will remain in force.

Session Time Limits

It is easy to lose track of time when playing online casino games. Session time limits let you set a maximum duration for each playing session. When the limit is reached, abd7 will display an on-screen notification and, if no further interaction is detected, the session will be concluded automatically. You can also set a reality check reminder — a pop-up that appears at a regular interval (e.g. every 30 or 60 minutes) showing you exactly how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session.

Session limits reset at the start of each new login session. You can update your session limit at any time through your account settings. As with deposit limits, reducing a session time limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it is subject to a 24-hour review period.

Cool-Off Periods

A cool-off period is a short-term break from gambling. It is designed for players who feel they need some time away from the platform without committing to a long-term self-exclusion. During a cool-off period, you will not be able to log into your abd7 account. The following cool-off period durations are available:

• 24 hours — a brief pause to clear your head after an unexpected losing session.
• 72 hours — a long-weekend break to reset your mindset and reassess your limits.
• 1 week — a considered pause to evaluate whether your gambling habits are healthy.
• Up to 6 weeks — an extended break recommended for players who feel their gambling may be becoming problematic.

Cool-off periods cannot be shortened once activated. This is an intentional feature — the temporary inability to shorten the break is what makes it effective. At the end of the cool-off period your account access is restored automatically and you can choose to extend the period, set a permanent self-exclusion, or return to play within your personal limits.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming measure available on the abd7 platform. It is intended for players who recognise that their gambling has become a problem and who want to stop gambling entirely, either for a defined period or permanently.

Once a self-exclusion is in place, you must not attempt to open new accounts on the abd7 platform. If abd7 detects an attempt to circumvent a self-exclusion by registering a new account, that account will be closed and any funds deposited will be returned.

Self-exclusion periods of less than 6 months can be reviewed and potentially lifted after the specified period ends, subject to a mandatory 7-day reflection period and a support team review. Permanent self-exclusions cannot be reversed. We strongly encourage players who self-exclude to seek professional support during their exclusion period.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or experience. Below are some common warning signs. If you recognise several of these patterns in your own behaviour — or in someone you know — it is time to take action.

• Spending more money on gambling than originally planned, or chasing losses by placing larger bets to recover what was lost.
• Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial services in order to fund gambling activity.
• Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when not gambling, or when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
• Neglecting work, family responsibilities, health, or social activities because of the time or money spent gambling.
• Lying to friends or family about how much time or money is being spent on gambling.
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, anxiety, or depression, rather than as a source of entertainment.
• Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling entirely.

Recognising these signs early makes a real difference. The sooner you use the tools on this page or speak to our support team, the easier it is to regain control. There is no shame in asking for help — abd7's support team handles every responsible gaming request with complete confidentiality and without judgement.

Tips for Safer Gambling

Responsible gambling starts with a clear mindset before you even open the app. The following habits help players of all experience levels keep gambling enjoyable and in perspective:

• Set a fixed entertainment budget before you start playing and treat it as money spent on fun — not as an investment or a route to income.
• Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, under the influence of alcohol, or in a situation where you feel pressured by financial need.
• Accept that losing is a normal part of gambling. Chasing losses is the most common cause of problem gambling escalation — if you have reached your budget, log out.
• Take regular breaks during playing sessions. Stand up, move around, and check in with yourself — how do you feel? Are you still enjoying the experience?
• Never try to win back money that you have lost. Each game outcome is independent — past results have no bearing on future results in any RNG-based game.
• Balance gambling with other leisure activities. If gambling is the only form of entertainment you engage in regularly, this is worth reflecting on.
• Keep track of how much time and money you spend gambling each month. If the numbers surprise you, use the deposit and session limit tools to bring them back in line with your budget.

Protecting Minors

abd7 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. Access to the platform is restricted to players aged 21 and above. During the account registration and KYC verification process, all players are required to confirm their age and submit government-issued identification. Any account that cannot satisfy the age verification requirement will be suspended pending verification or closed permanently if verification fails.

If you share a device with children or other household members, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software on that device to prevent unauthorised access to online gambling sites. If you believe a minor has accessed your abd7 account, contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action to secure the account.
