Responsible Gambling at Bristol Bingo
At Bristol Bingo, we're committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all our players. We believe that responsible gambling is an essential part of enjoying online gaming, and we want to help you maintain control over your play.
Gambling as Entertainment
Remember, gaming should be entertaining. It's not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Set aside a budget for entertainment purposes only, and stick to it.
Budgeting and Bankroll Management
Before you start playing, consider the following:
How much can I afford to spend on gaming this week or month?
What's my average session length?
Am I playing with the bankroll set aside specifically for entertainment?
By setting a budget and sticking to it, you'll be able to enjoy your gaming experience without worrying about overspending.
Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits
We offer various tools to help you maintain control over your play:
Deposit limits: Set daily or weekly deposit limits to avoid excessive spending.
Loss limits: Restrict the maximum amount of money you can lose in a single session.
Wager limits: Limit the size of individual bets.
Session limits: Set a time limit for each gaming session.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
Take regular breaks from gaming. We offer:
Reality checks: Automated messages reminding you to review your play after a set period.
Time reminders: Alerts when a certain amount of time has passed since your last break.
Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools
If you feel like you need additional support, responsible gambling tools may be available:
Cooling-off periods: Temporarily restrict your account for a specified period.
Self-exclusion: Permanently or temporarily restrict your access to the platform.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
We take age restrictions seriously and may verify the age of players to ensure compliance with applicable requirements. Anyone below the legal gambling age must not use the platform.
Protecting Vulnerable Players
If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties with gambling, consider seeking help from an appropriate professional support service. Our support team may also provide guidance on available responsible gambling options.
Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling
Look out for these warning signs in yourself or others:
Feeling the need to chase losses.
Hiding gaming activity from loved ones.
Using gaming as a way to escape problems.
If you're concerned about someone's gambling behaviour, consider contacting our support team for guidance.
Responsible Bonus Usage
When using bonuses, remember that they are intended to enhance your gaming experience. Don't use bonuses to play more aggressively than usual or attempt to recover losses quickly.
