PLAYING with Sun Bingo should only ever be fun. So, if you\u2019re finding that it\u2019s starting to become something else, take a pause and breathe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Monday 13th<\/sup> November to Sunday 19th<\/sup> November is Safer Gambling Week. <\/p>\n
This is a cross-industry initiative from the Betting and Gaming Council that aims to promote safer gambling in the United Kingdom and Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got a few suggestions about how to keep online gaming about having fun, rather than it becoming a concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The key is to stay in control of your money and time. We have a few functions that can help with that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Monitor your gaming\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n
You can keep an eye on your gaming history by clicking \u201cMy Account\u201d and then \u201cHistory\u201d. <\/p>\n
This space can help you to keep track of your gambling as you can see your games history. <\/p>\n
WHICH GOGGLEBOX FAMILY IS YOUR FAVOURITE? HAVE YOUR SAY<\/strong><\/p>\n
This feature allows you to pick a timeframe and all of your stakes within that period will be shown. <\/p>\n
Similarly, you can monitor your bingo habits under the \u201cMy Bingo History\u201d subtab. <\/p>\n
You can also check your deposit and withdrawal history.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Safer Gambling\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n
This tab on Sun Bingo includes the subtabs: Smart Tips, Play Responsibly and Set Limits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
Smart tips\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This page has lots of tips and guidance about how to smartly and safely gamble on our site. <\/p>\n
We have money tips, time tips, things to know (including why we verify funds sources) and handy tools (such as how to limit gambling ads on your social media).\u00a0<\/p>\n
NEED A BOOK RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR NEXT BINGE-WORTHY BOOK? <\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Play responsibly<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The play responsibly page is full of helpful information about how you can stay safe while playing with Sun Bingo. <\/p>\n
This includes top tips for safer, smarter gaming and links to external sites that offer specialist support. <\/p>\n
If you are concerned about your gaming habits, there is a link to a test provided by GamCare that\u2019s quick, easy, free and anonymous.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
Set limits\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This page offers players the opportunity to take proactive steps to monitor and control their time and money when playing with Sun Bingo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deposit limits<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some players like to set deposit limits. You can set daily, weekly or monthly limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ADD THESE SUNNY SONGS TO YOUR PLAYLIST<\/strong><\/p>\n
Reality check<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u201cReality Check\u201d feature is designed to remind you of the time that you have spent logged into your account.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can set reminders for every 10, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Timeout\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you want to pause your online gaming completely, you might like to start by trying the \u201cTimeout\u201d feature, which allows you to take a break from your account at any time. <\/p>\n
You can set the time out period from 24 hours to six weeks. Your account will automatically reactivate after the timeout has ended. <\/p>\n
However, you should be aware that there is no option to reopen the account before the set period has expired.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
TAKE THE TIME TO PAUSE AND BREATHE – HERE ARE SOME BREATHING EXERCISES <\/strong><\/p>\n
Similar to the timeout option, self-exclude allows you to deactivate your account for between six and 60 months. <\/p>\n
Please be aware that if you select this option, the account cannot be reopened until the set period has expired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
