Responsible Gaming
Responsible Gambling
At Blue Sky Bingo, we understand the importance of safe and balanced gambling habits for all our players. Our mission is to provide a fun and entertaining gaming experience while ensuring that you gamble responsibly.
Safe and Balanced Gambling Habits
Gambling should always be treated as entertainment rather than income. Here are some guidelines to help you maintain a healthy balance between play and reality:
- Set aside a budget for your gaming activities.
- Decide on the amount of money you can afford to lose before playing.
- Stick to your predetermined limits.
Budget and Bankroll Management
To ensure that you don't exceed your financial means, we recommend setting deposit limits. This will prevent accidental over-spending or get-you-into-further-debt scenarios. You can adjust these limits at any time through the account settings section of our website or app.
- Set a daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limit to control how much you spend.
- Choose from several predefined bankroll sizes or create your own based on personal preference.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
We want to make sure that gaming remains enjoyable for everyone. Here are some features designed with your well-being in mind:
- Set a self-imposed session reminder after 60, 90, or 120 minutes of consecutive play.
- Schedule a break from our website or app using the built-in reality check feature.
Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion Tools
We know that sometimes you might want to take a step back. That's why we've implemented a cooling-off period and self-exclusion tool:
- Activate the cool-down mode for 24 hours, several days, weeks, or months.
- Request permanent account exclusion from all Blue Sky Bingo platforms.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
As part of our responsible gambling policies, we require you to verify your age before creating an account. If you're a new player, follow these steps:
- Ensure that you meet the minimum age requirement for our services (18+).
- Provide valid identification documents as requested during sign-up.
Protection of Vulnerable Players
At Blue Sky Bingo, we want to support vulnerable individuals who may be at risk of problematic gambling behaviors. If you or someone close needs assistance:
- Contact one of the recommended organizations below.
- Activate the deposit limit on your account and take a break from gaming for a set period.
