Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gambling

At Beauport Bingo Hall, we prioritize responsible gaming practices to ensure that our players enjoy a safe and balanced experience.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gambling should be treated as entertainment rather than a means of generating income. Set realistic expectations about your chances of winning and avoid chasing losses by betting more than you can afford.

Keep track of your spending and stick to your budget.
Don't gamble when under the influence of alcohol or other substances that may impair your judgment.
Take regular breaks from gaming to maintain a healthy balance between entertainment and daily life.

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Effective bankroll management is crucial for responsible gaming. Allocate a specific amount of money for gambling each month, and stick to it.

Set limits on the amount you deposit, lose, or wager in a single session.
Monitor your bankroll regularly to avoid depleting your funds excessively.
Prioritize financial stability by setting aside sufficient funds for essential expenses.

Deposit, Loss, Wager, and Session Limits

Our platform offers various tools to help you control your gaming activities:

Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit to prevent excessive spending.
Loss Limits: Establish limits on the amount you can lose within a specified timeframe.
Wager Limits: Limit the maximum bet size for individual games or sessions.
Session Limits: Define the time spent gaming and take breaks when necessary.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Regularly evaluate your gaming habits to ensure they align with your expectations:

Set reminders to review your gaming history, bankroll, and spending patterns.
Use built-in reality checks to monitor your betting frequency, stakes, or losses.

Cooling-off Periods and Self-Exclusion Tools

Take control of your gaming experience by utilizing our cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools:

Cooling Off: Temporarily suspend access to your account for a specified period (e.g., 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days).

Verify your age through government-issued ID documents.
Our system will block access if you attempt to register with an invalid or underage account.

Responsible Bonus Usage

Bonus offers should be treated as entertainment, not a way to increase your potential winnings. Follow these guidelines for bonus usage:

Understand the conditions and terms associated with each offer.
Set realistic expectations about bonus conversion rates.
Keep track of your bonus balance separately from your real money.

Safer Gaming during Slots, Live Casino, Sportsbook, or Promotional Play

Live Casino: Manage the pressure associated with real-time interactions.
Sportsbook: Understand the risks involved in sports betting, including match-fixing and under-aged betting.

Set limits for the amount spent while using our mobile app.
Consider implementing parental controls to restrict access to age-restricted content.

Family/Device Protection Measures

Protect yourself and your loved ones from potential harm by considering these family/device protection measures:

Parental Controls: Restrict underage access or excessive gaming time on shared devices.
Monitor data consumption for suspicious activities (e.g., unusual account activity).
Regularly review online security settings to prevent unauthorized access.
