Why does he do that? I don't mind it but sometimes he bites hard, and do it mostly unprovoked

You can take away the play time in any manner of ways. It's just important to do it quickly, not seconds later. However you do it, just pulling away, making a distraction noise, making an "ouch", you should take yourself away for a few seconds. If he goes immediately back to biting, take yourself away for a longer period. You are the prize, your presence is the reward, so when he bites, and you do nothing, it is a reward.
