We are firmly committed to ensuring all our users play in a safe, transparent, and controlled environment. Responsible gaming is not just a policy—it is the foundation of our business.
We know that most people can enjoy betting responsibly, but for some it can become a problem. addav7 provides a range of tools, resources, and support to protect you and your loved ones from problem gambling. Our goal is to create a platform where everyone can play safely and enjoyably.

Important warnings
Addav7 is for those aged 18 and above only. Betting should be fun, not stressful. If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, seek help immediately. Gambling is never a source of income or a way to pay off debts.

Addav7 Responsible Gaming Tools
Addav7 provides a range of powerful tools to help you stay in control of your betting. These tools are easy to use and can be activated anytime from your account settings. We strongly recommend that every user set at least one limit when registering.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum amount for daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. Once you reach the limit, you cannot deposit more money during that period.
Loss limits
Set the maximum you can lose per day, week, or month. This protects your bank account and limits financial loss.
Session Time Limit
Set a maximum time for each gaming session. When time expires, addav7 will automatically log you out and remind you to take a break.
Bet Limit
Set the maximum amount for a single bet. This prevents impulsive large bets and keeps you within reasonable amounts.
Cooling-off period
Take a temporary break from 24 hours to 30 days. Your account will be suspended during this time and you won't be able to log in or play.
Self-Exclusion
Exclude yourself from addav7 for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or permanently. This is a serious step and you will not be able to reactivate your account in any way during this time.
Marketing Opt-Out
Turn off all promotional emails, SMS and notifications. This reduces temptation and helps you take a break in peace.
Activity reports
View your betting history, deposits, withdrawals, and wins/losses. Regular reviews increase awareness of your habits.
Reality Check
Set regular on-screen reminders that show you your playing time and current balance. This helps you keep track of time.
How to activate tools
- Log in to your addav7 account
- Go to "My Account" or "Settings" menu
- Select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Limit Settings" option
- Choose the tool you want to activate
- Enter amount, duration, or other relevant details

Once activated, most limits take effect immediately. If you wish to increase a limit, a 24-48 hour cooling-off period will apply, giving you time to reconsider emotional decisions. Lowering a limit takes effect instantly.
Best Practice Advice
Addav7 recommends that you set at least one deposit limit and one session time limit as soon as you register. This keeps you in control from the start and reduces the risk of excessive play. Remember, gambling is entertainment, not an investment.
