Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling

At Lippy Bingo, we strive to provide a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all our players. We believe that responsible gambling is essential to ensure that you can play with confidence and within your means.

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

Gambling should be treated as entertainment rather than a source of income. It's essential to maintain a balanced lifestyle, including regular exercise, social activities, and hobbies beyond gaming.

• Set budgets: Allocate a specific amount for gambling and stick to it.
• Track your spend: Monitor your expenses and adjust your budget accordingly.
• Don't chase losses: Avoid trying to recoup losses by betting more than you can afford.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Managing your finances is crucial to responsible gaming. Set aside money specifically for entertainment purposes, including gambling.

• Know your limits: Establish a maximum deposit limit that works for you.
• Bankroll management: Allocate funds accordingly to avoid dipping into essential savings.
• Separate bank accounts: Consider using separate accounts or wallets for online transactions and budgeting.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

We offer various tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activities:

• Daily/weekly deposit limits: Set maximum daily or weekly deposits to avoid overspending.
• Loss limits: Establish a limit on losses within a specified timeframe (e.g., 24 hours).
• Wagering limits: Control the amount wagered per session or game.
• Session time limits: Monitor and set limits for individual gaming sessions.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

To prevent excessive play, we provide reminders to help you stay on track:

• Time-out features: Take a break from playing for a specified period (e.g., 24 hours, week).
• Self-exclusion options: Exclude yourself from playing for a longer term or permanently.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

We offer various self-help tools to help you manage your gaming habits:

• Account restrictions: Limit access to certain features or games.
• Deposit blocking: Block new deposits for a specified period.
• Self-exclusion options: Exclude yourself from playing online.

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

To protect vulnerable players, we verify ages to prevent underage gambling. If you suspect someone under 18 is accessing our platform, please report it immediately:

• Age verification checks: We implement age-verification procedures when necessary.

• Platform features on mobile: Include access to mobile gaming via app or website.
• Responsibility when mobile gambling: Limit overuse by monitoring sessions.

Family/Device Protection Measures

For those concerned about responsible usage at home, consider these guidelines for sharing devices and protecting younger players from exposure to online betting:

• Shared device access control: Set limitations on account use through parental controls or shared device management features.
• Vulnerable age settings: Restrict minors' ability to play by setting explicit restrictions.
