Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling

At Mount Gravatt Bingo, we want to ensure that you enjoy a safe and balanced gaming experience. As part of our commitment to responsible gaming, we have implemented various tools and features to help you manage your betting habits.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gaming should be entertaining, not income-driven. Set realistic goals for yourself and do not chase losses. It's essential to maintain a balance between gaming and other aspects of life. Here are some tips:

Set aside dedicated time and budget for gaming.
Establish limits on the amount you spend or win per session.
Prioritize physical health, social relationships, and work obligations over gaming.

Budget and Bankroll Management

To maintain a balanced bankroll, consider the following strategies:

Allocate a fixed budget for gaming sessions.
Avoid using borrowed money or credit cards to fund your bets.
Diversify your gaming activities to minimize risk.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

Mount Gravatt Bingo offers flexible limit options to suit different playing styles. You can:

Set daily deposit limits to control spending.
Establish win/loss limits to prevent overcommitting.
Use session timers to manage playtime and maintain balance.

To enable these features, follow these steps:

Log in to your account.
Navigate to the Settings or Account section.
Find the 'Responsible Gaming' tab and adjust limit settings as needed.

Regular reality checks can help you monitor gaming behavior:

Set reminders on your device or calendar to track playtime.
Use our built-in timer to pause gameplay periodically.
Consider implementing a temporary cooling-off period if needed.
