Responsible Gaming

Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits

Eastland Bingo encourages all our members to maintain safe and balanced gaming habits. We believe that gambling should be enjoyed responsibly, within your means, and without jeopardizing your financial or personal well-being.

To promote responsible play, we provide a range of tools and features on our platform:

Set deposit limits to control how much you can spend in one session
Establish loss limits to prevent significant losses in one game or session
Monitor and track your wagers to ensure they align with your budget

Budgeting and Bankroll Management

Gambling should be viewed as entertainment rather than a source of income. It's essential to set aside funds specifically for gaming activities, without compromising on other financial commitments.

To assist you in managing your bankroll:

Set aside dedicated funds for gaming sessions
Allocate a specific budget for each session or day
Regularly review and update your budget as needed

Eastland Bingo supports responsible play by providing flexible limit options. You can set limits on deposits, losses, wagers, and sessions to suit your gaming preferences.

Daily deposit limits: $1000 AUD
Weekly deposit limits: $5000 AUD
Monthly deposit limits: $15000 AUD
Session time reminders: 30-minute notifications to ensure you're taking regular breaks
