Responsible Gaming

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

At Shipleys Bingo, we promote a balanced and healthy approach to gaming, emphasizing that it is primarily for entertainment purposes rather than income generation. We encourage our players to adopt safe gambling habits by setting budgets, monitoring their play, and taking regular breaks.

Our aim is to create an enjoyable experience for all players while providing the necessary tools and resources to manage their gaming activities responsibly.

Budget and Bankroll Management

To help you maintain a balanced approach to gaming, we recommend establishing a budget and managing your bankrolls effectively. Here are some tips:

• Set aside a specific amount of money for entertainment purposes
• Decide on the maximum losses you're willing to accept per session
• Prioritize responsible spending by avoiding excessive deposits or withdrawals

We provide deposit limits, loss limits, wagering restrictions, and time reminders to help you manage your gaming activities effectively.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

To promote safe and controlled play, we offer various limit options:

• Deposit limits: Set the maximum amount of money that can be deposited into your account
• Loss limits: Specify the highest loss allowed per session or within a specific period
• Wagering restrictions: Limit the frequency or value of wagers placed in real-time sessions

Additionally, our Reality Check feature provides regular reminders to help you monitor your gaming activities and stay on track.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

In order to ensure responsible gaming practices we provide:

• Self-exclusion tools: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from accessing the platform
• Time-out features: Lock out of a session for a specific duration, preventing additional deposits during this timeframe

Account Verification and Age Restrictions

To guarantee that our services are accessible only to those who can enjoy them responsibly:

All players must complete account verification procedures upon signing up. This includes providing identification documents and proof of age.

Players under the age of 18 will not be permitted on-site, online or within any of our outlets

Protection of Vulnerable Players

We prioritize safeguarding vulnerable individuals by implementing measures such as:

• Account restrictions for minors: Preventing underage access through strict verification protocols
• Identifying and supporting players at risk of problem gambling: Our dedicated support team is on hand to assist those experiencing difficulties with their gaming habits.
