Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling at Drummond Bingo

1. Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

At Drummond Bingo, we want to ensure that you enjoy gaming responsibly. Set realistic goals for your gaming sessions, and don't chase losses. Remember, gaming is meant to be entertainment, not a way to make money.

2. Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Establish a budget for your gaming activities and stick to it. Never gamble with more than you can afford to lose. Set aside funds for essential expenses, savings, and unexpected events.

Setting Realistic Deposit Limits

Drummond Bingo allows you to set deposit limits on your account. This means you can control how much money is available for gaming at any given time. If needed, we'll remind you of the remaining balance within your deposit limit when attempting a new transaction that would exceed this amount.

3. Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

  • Deposit Limit: Set a maximum daily or weekly deposit limit to ensure you don't spend more than intended.
  • Loss Limit: Establish a loss threshold that triggers temporary self-exclusion from gaming on your account for 24 hours.
  • Wager Limit: Control the amount wagered per spin or round to maintain balanced betting habits.
  • Session Time Reminders: Set reminders to take breaks and check in with family or friends.

Using Loss Limits Effectively

Loss limits are an essential tool. When you set a loss limit, we'll notify you via email when you're close to reaching it, providing the option to adjust or temporarily block your account from further transactions until you're ready to continue responsibly.

4. Reality Checks and Time Reminders

  • Reality Checks: Periodically check your gaming activity and bankroll status within our platform.
  • Time Reminders: Set reminders to take breaks and assess your spending habits during the session.

Managing Time with Session Timers

Use Drummond Bingo's built-in timers or third-party applications (like apps that track screen time) to keep sessions brief, especially if you're playing for extended periods without taking breaks. A balanced gaming experience involves not just money but also responsible handling of your personal time spent on gambling activities.

5. Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

We take player protection seriously at Drummond Bingo. You can self-exclude or temporarily block access to our platforms if you feel the need for a break or require assistance with managing gaming habits.

The Process of Self-Exclusion

To initiate a cooling-off period, navigate your account settings within our platform and select 'Temporary Exclusion.' Choose from available durations (e.g., 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days). This will prevent you from accessing both the website and mobile app for the selected duration. If needed, extend or cancel this exclusion at any time through a support ticket.

6. Account Verification and Age Restrictions

We verify player identity to ensure no minors access our gaming services.

Player Identification Checks

At Drummond Bingo, we utilize age verification checks on every new registration, including proof of identification such as passport scans (in compliance with industry standards). Your safety is paramount in preventing unauthorised activity.

7. Protection of Vulnerable Players

We strive to maintain a safe environment for all users. If you're concerned about your gaming behavior or believe someone else's, please reach out to us via support@Drummond Bingo.com or speak to one of our customer support representatives directly within the platform.

  • Set up notifications when suspicious activity occurs, such as unusual account logins or transactions
