Paddy Power Bingo Responsible Gambling

Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits

To maintain safe and balanced gambling habits, it's essential to treat gaming as entertainment rather than a primary source of income. Set realistic expectations for your playtime and losses. Understand the odds and risks associated with each game or bet.

Gambling as Entertainment

View gaming as an enjoyable activity that doesn't dictate your financial decisions. Make sure you have enough funds set aside for living expenses, debt repayment, and unexpected costs before engaging in online betting or playing casino games.

Budget and Bankroll Management

Establish a budget for your gaming activities to avoid overspending. Allocate a specific amount of money for each session, and never exceed it. Manage your bankrolls effectively by monitoring your wins and losses. When you reach your predetermined limit, stop gambling until the next session.

Deposit Limits: A Safety Measure

To prevent excessive spending, set deposit limits on our platform. These restrictions will ensure that no matter how tempting a big win might be, you won't risk more than what's comfortable for your budget. Our system allows you to adjust or decrease your limits whenever needed.

  • To enable Deposit Limits:
    • Log in to Paddy Power Bingo
    • Navigate to My Account
    • Select Deposit from the dropdown menu
    • Tap on Set deposit limit

Loss, Wager, and Session Limits: Further Protection Measures

Additional safeguards can be set within your account:

  • Loss Limit: A maximum amount of money you're willing to lose in a specific time frame. When reached, Paddy Power Bingo will prevent further betting until the next session.
  • Wager Limit: A restriction on how much money or units can be bet per spin/bet/slot. Once exceeded, our platform won't allow more wagers above this threshold.
  • Session Limit: The maximum time spent gaming within a single session.

To implement these limits:

  2. Locate and click on "My Account" in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Scroll down to the "Responsible Gaming Tools" section.
  4. Activate, adjust, or modify each limit as per your preferences.

These restrictions serve as a proactive measure to safeguard against impulsive decisions that might compromise your financial stability or gaming experience.

Reality Checks: Monitoring Your Time

Occasionally, a temporary break can help recharge your focus or create space from potentially impulsive decisions. Our cooling-off periods allow you to pause gameplay entirely. This tool provides a valuable opportunity to regroup and revisit your spending habits when feeling overwhelmed or experiencing loss streaks.
