Responsible Gambling

At Fawkner Bingo Croydon, we want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience with our games. We provide tools and resources to help you manage your gaming habits responsibly.

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Gaming should be an entertainment activity that brings joy and excitement to your life. However, it's essential to maintain balance in all aspects of your life, including gaming. Set realistic goals for yourself and prioritize responsibilities over gaming sessions.

Balanced Gameplay

  • Allocate a specific time slot each day or week for gaming.
  • Prioritize other activities like work, socializing, exercise, and rest.
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle by managing food intake, sleep schedule, and physical activity levels.

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Manage your bankroll responsibly to avoid financial difficulties. Set limits on the amount you spend each session or over time.

Budgeting Tools

  • Deposit Limits: Limit the amount of money deposited into your account.
  • Wager Limits: Control how much you wager per hand/spin/game round.
  • Session Limits: Establish a maximum gaming duration for each session.

Reality Checks and Time Reminders

Reality checks provide an opportunity to review your spending habits. Set reminders to pause during intense gaming sessions.

Time Management
