Responsible gaming

Responsible Gaming is a joint venture between Bingo.com and our customers. We take this responsibility very seriously, and on this page you will find out how we do that, and also what you can do to join us in this ongoing process of keeping gaming fun and entertaining.

To the majority of people, gambling is fun and entertaining, a hobby or a social activity, Bingo.com calls this 'Moneytainment'. More and more people are discovering the fun and advantages with Internet gaming. Internet mirrors what we do in real life; we connect with others, we shop, we find information, we find entertainment in many different ways - according to taste and state of mind. To a small percentage of people, gambling – like any other vice – can become problematic and develop into an addiction. When you spend too much time on something, whether it is eating, shopping, gambling, drinking or taking other chemical substances. This particular behaviour will result in negative. Balance is the key to enjoying life and having a great time.
