Play Responsibly
 
Enjoy safer, smarter gaming
We want you to enjoy your gambling experience on our site. We also want you to stay in control of your time and your money. Take a moment to check out our top tips for safer, smarter gaming.
 
Plan ahead
Before you play, decide how much money and time you’re going to spend online.
 
Stick to your budget
Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
 
Play for fun, not to make money
Don’t try to ‘win back’ or chase your losses.
 
Keep a clear head
Don’t gamble under the influence of drink or drugs.
 
Know when to take time out
Don’t gamble if you feel angry, upset or depressed.
 
How we can help you
Your online account is packed with features to enjoy safer, smarter play. If you need help with any of these, please get in touch with our customer services team.
 
Stay in the know by looking at your Account History/Bet History
You can access your Account History/Bet History at any time, so you always know how much you’ve spent and how long you’ve played.
 
Take charge of your money with Deposit Limits
Make sure you never spend more than you can afford. Set daily, weekly or monthly Deposit Limits on your account.
 
Keep track of your game time with Reality Checks
Reality Checks remind you how much time you’ve spent logged into your account. Here at Take a Break Bingo, you can set up an alert to notify you when you’ve reached a specified period of time. To activate a Reality Check simply log into your account and navigate to the responsible gaming page.
 
Take a break with Time Out
If you want to take a break from gaming, our Time Out facility allows you to disable your account for a short period of time. To implement a Time Out period, please log into your account. If you hold additional accounts, we strongly advise you implement this option for those as well.
 
Lock your account with Self-Exclusion
If you want to take a longer break, use Self-Exclusion to lock your account and any others you hold for up to five years.
 
If you are considering self-exclusion, you may wish to register with GAMSTOP.
 
GAMSTOP is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from all online gambling companies registered in the national online self-exclusion scheme.
