Online Bingo Promotes Responsible eGaming Practices

In support of responsible eGaming practices, a growing number of the more popular online bingo operators are opting to introduce a new element to their virtual bingo sites. The self exclusion feature offers online gaming participants the option to prevent themselves from visiting a particular website, in order to manage their gaming habits.

Players can also decide on for various cooling off periods ranging from 24 hours to a week and complete self exclusion for periods ranging from 1 week to 6 months and you can even request to be excluded indefinitely if required.

As part of their duty of care towards their online customers bingo operators whose sites provide this choice include many key industry leaders such as Foxy Bingo, Wink Bingo and Jackpot Joy Bingo. Site members are encouraged to either reduce their eGaming spending limits or alternatively to suspend their accounts altogether.

The online bingo sites advocating the self exclusion feature also caution users that exclusion is site specific, so players wanting to control their online gaming activities should be prepared to exclude themselves from a number of sites.

Online Bingo is considered a very social pastime and a method of entertainment which can be indulged in without excess, and many online operates warn that you should only spend what you can easily afford.  All online Bingo sites without exception are required to endure rigorous responsible gaming assessments before they are awarded an online gaming licence.
