Responsible Gaming

At Eastland Bingo, we take the responsible enjoyment of our games seriously and encourage all players to do the same.

Safe and Balanced Habits

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a means to generate income. It's essential for you to have realistic expectations about your wins and losses and understand that there is always an element of risk involved in gaming. To ensure safe and balanced habits:

Set aside dedicated time and money specifically for playing at Eastland Bingo
Familiarize yourself with the available games, betting limits, and house edges

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Manage your bankroll effectively by allocating a specific amount of funds solely for gaming purposes. This will enable you to set realistic budget ceilings and avoid dipping into personal savings or borrowed money.

Consider using the 1% rule: allocate only 1% of your total account balance towards playing at Eastland Bingo
Set deposit limits that align with your allocated bankroll

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

At Eastland Bingo, we provide you with various tools to help maintain a balanced gaming experience:

Daily/Weekly/Monthly deposit limits: Set upper limits on how much money can be deposited per specified period
Loss or wagering limits: Limit the amount of money that can be lost or staked in any given session or time frame

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Our platform features reality checks to remind you about your gaming activities. Take advantage of these reminders to manage your playtime effectively:

Session timer: Keep track of how long you've been playing
Reality check notifications: Set alerts for when a certain amount has been wagered or time limit is reached

Cooling-Off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

We recognize that sometimes, a break from gaming can be beneficial. You can use our cooling-off period tools to take control:

Temporary self-exclusion: Exclude yourself from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or any other duration
