Player Protection and Responsible Gaming
IMPORTANT: While most players at an online casino, poker room or bingo room gamble for entertainment and within their means, a small percentage of players remain who may lose control of themselves and their play. In order to prevent this, please bear the following in mind:
- Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a means to making money
- Keep track of the amount of money you spend and only gamble what you can afford to lose. Do not chase your losses
- Keep track of the amount of time you spend gambling.
RESPONSIBLE GAMING POLICY
While most people gamble for social enjoyment, Giggle Bingo acknowledges that gambling can possibly create problems and harm certain individuals. These problems can range from over-spending to a pathological gambling addiction. Giggle Bingo is committed to creating a responsible gaming environment by implementing and maintaining eCOGRA's responsible gaming requirements for the benefit of both players and staff.
