Our Commitment to Player Wellbeing

At 7shot, we believe that gambling should remain a form of entertainment and recreation, never a source of financial hardship, stress, or harm to personal relationships. While the vast majority of our Indonesian players enjoy sports betting, casino games, togel (lottery), and other offerings responsibly, we recognize that a small percentage may develop problematic gambling behaviors that negatively impact their lives.

Responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement for 7shot—it is a core value embedded in every aspect of our operations. We are committed to creating a safe gaming environment through player education, proactive intervention tools, transparent communication about risks, and readily available support resources. Our goal is to ensure that every player understands the risks associated with gambling and has access to effective tools for maintaining control over their gaming activity.

This page provides comprehensive information about the responsible gaming tools available on 7shot, warning signs of problem gambling, and resources for seeking help. We encourage all players to read this information carefully and utilize our protection tools to ensure gambling remains enjoyable and within healthy boundaries.

Strict 21+ Age Requirement

7shot strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We implement rigorous age verification through KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures requiring government-issued identification before processing withdrawals. Any player found to be under 21 will have their account immediately closed, deposits refunded, and winnings forfeited. Parents and guardians: please use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, occurs when gambling behavior becomes difficult to control and begins to cause harm to the individual, their family, or their financial situation. Problem gambling is recognized as a behavioral addiction with serious consequences comparable to substance abuse disorders.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognizing the early warning signs of problem gambling is crucial for intervention. If you or someone you know exhibits several of these behaviors, it may indicate a gambling problem:

  • Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, planning the next session, or reliving past gambling experiences
  • Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that was lost, often leading to larger losses
  • Increasing Bets: Needing to wager larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Failed Control Attempts: Repeated unsuccessful efforts to reduce, control, or stop gambling
  • Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to cut down or stop gambling
  • Escaping Problems: Gambling to escape negative emotions such as stress, depression, anxiety, or boredom
  • Lying and Secrecy: Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues, or lying about the extent of gambling
  • Financial Consequences: Borrowing money, selling possessions, missing bill payments, or jeopardizing employment due to gambling
  • Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gambling over work, education, family obligations, or personal health
  • Relationship Damage: Gambling causing conflicts with family members, friends, or romantic partners
  • Bailout Requests: Repeatedly asking others for money to cover gambling losses or financial problems caused by gambling

Health Impact

Problem gambling can lead to serious mental health issues including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, sleep disorders, and stress-related physical ailments. If gambling is affecting your mental or physical health, please seek professional help immediately. In Indonesia, mental health services are available through local hospitals, community health centers (Puskesmas), and private practitioners.

Your Responsible Gaming Tools

7shot provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help you maintain control over your gambling activity. These tools are available 24/7 through your account settings and can be activated or modified at any time. We strongly encourage all players to proactively use these features, even if you do not currently perceive a problem—prevention is always easier than intervention.

Deposit Limits

Set maximum deposit amounts for specific time periods to control how much money you can add to your 7shot account. Available options:

  • Daily Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit in any 24-hour period
  • Weekly Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit in any 7-day rolling period
  • Monthly Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit in any 30-day rolling period

Once set, deposit limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours (decreases take effect immediately). This cooling-off period prevents impulsive decision-making during emotional gaming sessions. To set deposit limits, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits.

Loss Limits

Establish maximum loss thresholds to protect yourself from excessive losses. Loss limits calculate net losses (total deposits minus total withdrawals over the period) and prevent further gambling once the limit is reached:

  • Daily Loss Limit: Maximum net loss permitted in 24 hours
  • Weekly Loss Limit: Maximum net loss permitted in 7 days
  • Monthly Loss Limit: Maximum net loss permitted in 30 days

When a loss limit is reached, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing new bets until the next time period begins. Winnings can still be withdrawn during this restriction.

Session Time Limits and Reality Checks

Time can pass quickly during gambling sessions, leading to extended play periods you may not have intended. 7shot offers time management tools:

  • Session Time Limit: Set a maximum continuous play duration (1, 2, 3, 4 hours). When the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and unable to log back in for 30 minutes.
  • Reality Check Reminders: Periodic pop-up notifications displaying your current session duration and net win/loss. Configure reminders to appear every 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes.

These tools help you maintain awareness of time spent gambling and encourage regular breaks to reassess your gaming activity with a clear mind.

Take a Break (Temporary Self-Exclusion)

If you feel you need a break from gambling, use our "Take a Break" feature to temporarily suspend your account for a cooling-off period:

  • 24-Hour Break: Account locked for one day
  • 7-Day Break: Account locked for one week
  • 30-Day Break: Account locked for one month
  • 90-Day Break: Account locked for three months

During a break period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The break period cannot be shortened once activated—you must wait until the full duration expires. However, you may still contact customer support for account-related inquiries or to request permanent self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion (Permanent Account Closure)

Self-exclusion is the most protective tool available and is recommended for players who recognize they have lost control over their gambling. When you self-exclude from 7shot:

  • Your account is permanently closed and cannot be reopened
  • All pending bonuses and promotional offers are forfeited
  • You will be removed from all marketing communications
  • Your personal information will be retained only as required by law (typically 7 years for financial records)
  • Any remaining account balance will be returned to your verified payment method
  • You will be blocked from creating new accounts using the same personal details

Self-exclusion is irreversible. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line. Your account will be closed within 24 hours of verification.

How to Access These Tools

All responsible gaming tools are available through your 7shot account. Log in, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, and configure the tools that work best for you. Changes to deposit limits, loss limits, and time limits take effect immediately for reductions and after 24 hours for increases. If you encounter any difficulty accessing or configuring these tools, contact our 24/7 customer support team for assistance.

Tips for Staying in Control

Responsible gambling requires conscious decision-making and self-awareness. Follow these guidelines to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling:

Before You Start

  • Set a Budget: Decide in advance how much money you can afford to lose. Treat gambling as entertainment spending, like a movie ticket or restaurant meal—money spent for enjoyment, not an investment expected to return profit.
  • Set Time Limits: Determine how long you will play before you start. Stick to this limit even if you are winning.
  • Never Gamble When: You are depressed, stressed, anxious, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or trying to escape personal problems.
  • Understand the Games: Learn the rules and odds before playing. Recognize that the house always has a mathematical edge in casino games, and sports betting involves unpredictable outcomes.

During Your Session

  • Never Chase Losses: Losing is part of gambling. If you have lost your budgeted amount, stop playing. Do not deposit more money to try to win it back—this is the most common path to problem gambling.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen every 30-60 minutes. Use reality check reminders to maintain awareness.
  • Avoid Impulsive Decisions: Don't let emotions (excitement from winning or frustration from losing) drive your betting decisions.
  • Don't Borrow to Gamble: Never use borrowed money, credit cards, or money allocated for bills, rent, or essential expenses for gambling.
  • Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Ensure gambling does not consume time meant for work, family, hobbies, or social activities.

After Your Session

  • Review Your Activity: Check your transaction history and bet logs to understand your gambling patterns.
  • Ask Yourself: "Did I stay within my budget and time limit? Did I have fun, or was I stressed? Am I thinking about gambling constantly?"
  • Consider Limits: If you exceeded your planned budget or time, use deposit limits and session limits for future protection.
  • Celebrate Wins Responsibly: If you win, withdraw some or all of the winnings. Do not immediately reinvest all winnings back into gambling.

Gambling Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly to evaluate your gambling behavior. If you answer "yes" to multiple questions, consider seeking support.

1. Do you often gamble longer than you planned?
  • Yes
  • No
2. Do you feel the need to bet more money to get the same excitement?

If you answered "yes" to 4 or more questions, you may be experiencing problem gambling and should consider seeking professional help.

7shot's Responsible Gaming Principles

  1. Gambling is Entertainment, Not Income: Gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Approach it as a leisure activity with a cost, like attending a concert or sporting event.
  2. Set Limits and Stick to Them: Always decide in advance how much money and time you can afford to spend. Once limits are reached, stop playing.
  3. Never Chase Losses: Losses are part of gambling. Accept them and move on. Trying to win back losses almost always leads to greater losses.
  4. Stay Informed: Understand the games you play, their odds, and the house edge. Knowledge helps you make informed decisions.
  5. Balance is Key: Maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other life activities—work, family, hobbies, and social relationships.
  6. Seek Help When Needed: If gambling is causing harm, don't hesitate to use self-exclusion tools or contact support for help.
