Responsible Gaming

Planet 7 Oz Casino is committed to providing a safer and more enjoyable gaming environment. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. This page explains practical steps you can take to keep gambling within your limits and outlines where to seek help if gambling is becoming difficult to control.

Planet 7 Oz Casino operates under regulation by the Cyprus government. All games are independently tested for randomness and fairness by Gaming Labs International (GLI), and all transactions and player data are protected by SSL encryption.

Gamble responsibly

Gambling involves risk, and losses can occur. Before you play, decide how much time and money you can comfortably afford to spend. Only use money that is available after essential costs such as rent, bills, food, transport and other commitments have been covered. Never use borrowed money, credit intended for necessities, or funds set aside for important expenses.

Set a budget before you begin and regard that budget as the maximum amount you are prepared to lose. Do not increase your budget to recover previous losses. Chasing losses can lead to larger and faster losses, and it may make it harder to make calm decisions. A win does not mean that future play will be successful, while a loss does not create an obligation or opportunity to keep playing.

Set a spending limit before each gaming session.
Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
Keep gambling separate from everyday spending.
Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Do not borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes because you want to win back money.
Keep track of deposits, withdrawals, wins and losses.
Treat gambling as entertainment with a cost, not as a source of income.

It can be helpful to discuss your gambling budget with someone you trust. An honest conversation with a partner, family member or friend may provide perspective and support. If gambling is affecting your relationships, work, study, sleep or financial wellbeing, consider taking a break and seeking assistance.

Tools to help you stay in control

Responsible gambling tools can help you manage how you use the service. Depending on what is available on your account, you may be able to set deposit, loss, wagering or session limits, take a temporary break, or request a longer period of account restriction. Limits should be selected carefully because they are designed to support your plan, not to guarantee a particular result.

Set limits before playing

Choose limits that reflect what you can afford to spend and how much time you want to allocate to gambling. Avoid setting limits based on expected winnings. Once a limit is reached, stop playing and do not attempt to bypass it by opening another account or using another person’s account.

Take a break

A break can be useful if you are playing more often than planned, thinking about gambling throughout the day, or finding it difficult to stop. During a break, remove gambling applications or bookmarks, avoid promotional messages where possible, and spend time on other activities. A break should be long enough to give you space to consider your habits without pressure.

Request self-exclusion

If you believe you need to stop gambling, you can request self-exclusion or account closure through the available account support process. Self-exclusion is intended for people who want to prevent or limit access to gambling services for a chosen period or indefinitely. If you request this measure, do not create another account or ask someone else to gamble on your behalf.

Account restrictions may affect access to services, promotions or account functions. Any request should be made before you continue playing. If you are concerned that you may gamble again after requesting a restriction, seek independent support as soon as possible.

Recognising signs of harm

Gambling may be becoming harmful when it is no longer a planned leisure activity and starts to affect your choices, responsibilities or wellbeing. Different people experience different warning signs, but repeated changes in behaviour should be taken seriously.

Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
Trying to win back losses by continuing or increasing your stakes.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
Hiding or minimising your gambling from family, friends or colleagues.
Borrowing money, missing payments or selling belongings because of gambling.
Using money needed for rent, bills, food or other essentials.
Neglecting work, study, relationships, health or other responsibilities.
Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, sadness or other difficult feelings.
Making repeated promises to stop or cut back but being unable to do so.
Feeling guilt, shame, hopelessness or distress after gambling.

You do not need to wait until a serious problem develops before asking for help. Early support can make it easier to regain control. Consider speaking with a qualified gambling counsellor, a healthcare professional, a financial counsellor, or someone you trust. Support is available for people who gamble and for family members or friends affected by another person’s gambling.

If gambling is contributing to severe emotional distress or you feel at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, stop gambling and seek urgent help through appropriate emergency or crisis services in Australia. Your safety is more important than any gambling account or financial loss.

Protecting young people and your account

Gambling services are for adults only. Minors must not create an account, access gambling services or use another person’s account. Parents and guardians should take reasonable steps to prevent young people from accessing gambling sites and devices.

Keep your login details private and never share your password.
Use a strong, unique password and update it if you think it has been exposed.
Log out after using a shared or public device.
Use device controls, parental controls or blocking software where appropriate.
Keep payment methods and financial information secure.
Contact account support promptly if you notice activity you do not recognise.
Do not allow another person to use your account or payment method.

You are responsible for activity carried out through your account where your login details have not been adequately protected. If you suspect unauthorised access, stop using the account, change your password where possible, and contact the available support channel so the matter can be reviewed.

We may apply age, identity, account or transaction checks in line with applicable requirements and our operating procedures. These checks help protect customers, support account security and reduce the risk of misuse. You must provide accurate information and must not attempt to bypass verification or responsible gambling controls.

Getting help and making a plan

If you are concerned about your gambling, start with one practical step today. Set a limit, take a break, request account restrictions, tell someone you trust, or arrange confidential support. Writing down your concerns and the changes you want to make can help you turn a general intention into a clear plan.

Acknowledge what gambling is costing you in money, time and wellbeing.
Decide whether you need a limit, a temporary break or self-exclusion.
Remove easy access to gambling funds and promotional reminders.
Tell a trusted person what support you need.
Seek advice from an Australian gambling support or health service.
Review your progress and ask for further help if the plan is difficult to maintain.

Planet 7 Oz Casino can provide information about available account controls and the process for requesting restrictions. However, account tools are not a substitute for professional assistance. Independent counselling and financial support can help address the reasons behind gambling and the effects it may have on your life.

For questions about responsible gambling features, use the support options available through the website or your account. Do not continue gambling while waiting for assistance if you believe you have lost control. Taking action early is a positive and responsible choice.
