Here’s how Sun Bingo can help you to keep safe and play responsibly

PLAYING with Sun Bingo should only ever be fun. So, if you’re finding that it’s starting to become something else, take a pause and breathe. 

Monday 18^th November to Sunday 24^th November is Safer Gambling Week.

This is a cross-industry initiative from the Betting and Gaming Council that aims to promote safer gambling in the United Kingdom and Ireland. 

THESE MANTRAS HELP TO ENCOURAGE A POSITIVE MINDSET

To mark Safer Gambling Week, Sun Bingo wanted to remind all of our players of the features on our site that are there to help you keep safe and play responsibly.  

We’ve got a few suggestions about how to keep online gaming about having fun, rather than it becoming a concern. 

The key is to stay in control of your money and time. We have a few functions that can help with that.

Reality check 

The “Reality Check” feature is designed to remind you of the time that you have spent logged into your account. 

You can set reminders for every 10, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.  

Timeout  

If you want to pause your online gaming completely, you might like to start by trying the “Timeout” feature, which allows you to take a break from your account at any time.

You can set the time out period from 24 hours to six weeks. Your account will automatically reactivate after the timeout has ended.

However, you should be aware that there is no option to reopen the account before the set period has expired.

Account self-exclusion 

Similar to the timeout option, self-exclude allows you to deactivate your account for between six and 60 months.

Please be aware that if you select this option, the account cannot be reopened until the set period has expired.
