Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling at Beauport Bingo Casino
Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

Responsible gaming is about playing within your means, staying balanced, and enjoying the experience without compromising your well-being or financial security.

Understand the Risks: Acknowledge that there are potential risks associated with online gambling. Be aware of the possibility of losing money, developing problematic habits, or becoming addicted to gaming.

Budgeting for Fun

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not an income-generating activity. Set a budget and stick to it:

• Decide on a comfortable spending limit that aligns with your financial situation.
• Allocate funds specifically for online gambling, separating these from your everyday expenses.
• Monitor your progress regularly to ensure you're within the allocated limits.

Managing Your Bankroll

Deposit Limits: Implement deposit limits to prevent over-spending. You can set:

• Daily deposits
• Weekly deposits
• Monthly deposits

This ensures that your gaming activities don't negatively impact other financial responsibilities or goals.

Controlling Spending Habits

Use our built-in tools to manage spending habits and maintain control:

• Wager Limits: Set limits on the amount you can wager in a specific game.
• Loss Limits: Establish limits before entering a new session, ensuring that your gaming doesn't accumulate losses beyond what you're comfortable with.

Regular Reality Checks

Regular reality checks are available to help you manage your time spent online:

• Time Reminders: Our platform will remind you about the amount of time you've spent gaming.
• Reality Check Timers: Set personal timers within games or on our website to monitor how long you spend playing without taking breaks.

Cooling-off Periods: Suspend your account for any number of days between 24 hours up to several weeks.Self-exclusion Tools: Permanently exclude yourself from gaming on our platform.
