Responsible Gaming

At Brighton Bingo, we understand the importance of maintaining a safe and balanced approach to gaming. We want you to have fun while playing our games, but also be aware of the risks associated with excessive or problem gambling.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gambling is just one form of entertainment among many others. It's essential to remember that it should not be seen as a reliable source of income. Set aside a budget for gaming, just like you would for any other hobby or activity. This way, you can enjoy the excitement of playing without risking financial stability.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Before starting your session, set a realistic bankroll limit to prevent overspending. Allocate only what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by betting more than you intended. Regularly reviewing your gaming habits will help you maintain control and avoid getting into debt.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We have implemented various tools to support responsible gaming practices:

  • Deposit limits: Set a daily/weekly/monthly deposit limit to prevent excessive spending.
  • Loss limits: Establish loss limits to ensure you don't lose more than intended during a session.
  • Wagering limits: Control your betting amounts with adjustable wagering limits per game or category.
  • Session limits: Automate time-out sessions at regular intervals (e.g., every 2 hours) and activate reality checks.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Reality Check Tool: Regular pop-up reminders will display the total gaming session duration, deposits made, losses incurred, and remaining balance. Use this information to make informed decisions about your gaming habits.

Time-out and Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel that your gaming habits have become problematic or if you're concerned about a friend's behavior, consider using our tools:

  • Cooling-off periods: Activate temporary account pauses for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days to take a break.
  • Self-exclusion: Choose permanent exclusion options (6 months, 1 year, 5 years) and permanently block your access.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

We prioritize player protection by verifying the age of our members through:

  • Age verification checks for new account sign-ups to ensure compliance with local laws.
  • Regular ID verifications

Protection of Vulnerable Players

If you're concerned about someone's gaming habits, feel free to contact us confidentially. We also work closely with external organizations that provide professional support and guidance.

Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs:

  • Prioritizing gaming over other essential activities or responsibilities
  • Experiencing anxiety, guilt, shame, or irritability due to your gaming habits
  • Feeling an urgent need for a win or betting more than intended after losses

Support Organizations and Professional Help Resources

For reliable guidance and support, consider reaching out to these trusted organizations:

  • Gambler's Anonymous: Peer-to-peer support network providing meetings and online resources.
  • National Problem Gambling Clinic (UK): Specialized NHS-funded service offering counseling.

Responsible Bonus Usage

Bonus Conditions: Pay attention to bonus terms, as some have wagering requirements that may not be suitable for everyone. Set aside a budget specifically designed for meeting bonus conditions without negatively impacting your gaming balance.

Safer Gaming with Slots and Live Casino Games

When playing slots or live casino games:

  • Know the rules: Understand each game's specific mechanics to avoid getting carried away.
  • Set limits per session: Adjust wagering limits according to your preferred budget for each play type.

Mobile Gambling Awareness

For mobile gaming, we suggest using a dedicated device for gaming purposes and:

  • Installing accountability apps: Tools like Gamban or BetBlocker help limit access to gaming websites.
  • Regular software updates: Ensure your operating system is up-to-date with the latest security patches.

Family/Device Protection Measures

We also provide measures to protect family members, shared devices, and multiple users:

  • Two-factor authentication: Enhance account security with additional verification steps for each new login attempt.
  • Account restrictions per user: Limit access by assigning custom roles to individual users.

Account Security and Player Protection

To safeguard your gaming experience, take these precautions:

  • Use strong passwords: Combine uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters in a robust combination of at least 8-12 unique symbols.
  • Two-factor authentication

Compliance with Licensing or Gaming Regulations

Rest assured that our company adheres to the following regulatory bodies:

  • UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
  • Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (IGSC)
