Safer Gambling: Protecting Yourself and Others
Gambling should be enjoyed responsibly, within your means, and without harming yourself or others. Croydon Bingo aims to promote safe and balanced gambling habits among its players.
Separating Entertainment from Income
Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. Set clear boundaries between play and finances to maintain a healthy balance in your life.
Budgeting for Fun
Plan your budget by allocating separate funds for leisure activities, including gaming. Do not risk what you cannot afford to lose.
Keep track of your income and expenses.
Consider setting aside dedicated "fun money" for entertainment purposes.
Prioritize essential spending over discretionary spending.
Tools for Safer Gambling
Croydon Bingo offers various tools to support responsible gaming. Take advantage of these features:
Reality Checks
Set reminders to check the time you've spent playing, helping you maintain control and avoid excessive play.
Deposit Limits
Manage your spending by setting deposit limits. This can be done from the responsible gaming section of your player profile.
Regularly review and adjust your limits as needed.
Understand that increasing these limits may result in higher risk exposure.
Account Security and Safety Measures
Protecting yourself is part of responsible gaming.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security. Consider using a password manager for additional protection.
Email or Phone Contact
Reach out through the support methods available on the site when assistance is required.
Self-Care and Support: Seeking Help When Needed
It's okay to ask for help. If gambling begins to negatively affect your finances, relationships, or daily life, consider seeking appropriate support and guidance.
Support Organisations
Professional support services may provide confidential advice and assistance to people experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
Involving Family Members in Safer Gaming Practices
Gambling can have an impact on those around you. Open communication with family members about your gaming habits can help promote awareness and support.
Protecting Younger Generations
Set restrictions on children's access to gambling services by configuring parental controls and other appropriate device-level safety features when available.
Staying Up-to-Date and Seeking Help When Needed
Educate yourself about safer gambling practices and never hesitate to ask for support. Stay informed through reputable sources of information and regularly review your approach to maintaining healthy gambling habits.
