Responsible Online Gaming
Category: Bingo
Every online bingo site you play on will have some kind of ‘responsible gaming’ code of practice and the site will highlight what this means to the customer in a certain section of the site. Many sites recognise that providing a fun online service can be very fulfilling to the customer but for a small minority of customers, it becomes a problem and can progress to a serious gambling addiction. Many sites will let you set your own deposit limits per week, month or day which protects you as the customer and helps you to budget what you can actually afford. If you really find that gambling is becoming a problem, you can also self exclude yourself from various sites for a short time so you cannot play there. The important thing is to establish your limits before playing and stick with them!
You can online gamble online if you are 18 or over and all sites will do a check on your age upon registration. Many big sites such as Gala are registered with the ‘Internet Rating Content association’ (ICRA) which helps prevent under age gambling. If you have children who use the net, make sure you block access to gambling content and keep your passwords and usernames safe and out of view to prevent fraudulent activity. Online bingo should be no more than a laugh and a chance to socialise, if at any time you feel that you’re gambling is becoming a problem, contact GamCare for help and advice on responsible gaming.
