Responsible Gaming
Responsible Gambling at Stella Bingo
We take responsible gaming seriously and encourage all our players to do the same.
Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits
Gaming should be a form of entertainment, not a source of income. We want you to enjoy playing with us while maintaining a healthy balance in your life.
- Set aside money for gaming that won't impact other areas of your life.
- Don’t chase losses by increasing bets or spending more time at the table/casino floor.
Budget and Bankroll Management
Understanding how much you can afford to spend is crucial. Our tools help you keep track:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit to prevent overspending.
- Loss Limits: Establish a maximum loss for each session to avoid significant losses in a short period.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
We want to ensure that our players are fully aware of their gaming habits. Our reality checks feature will help you:
- Receive regular messages about your gaming activity, helping you stay on track.
- Set custom reminders to remind you when it's time for breaks or sessions limits.
Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion Tools
If you feel like your gaming is getting out of control, we're here to help. Our cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools allow you to take a break from our platform:
- Cooling-Off: Take a temporary break from playing with us for up to 6 weeks.
- Self-Exclusion: Choose a longer-term ban on your account to avoid any access or temptation.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
We prioritize age-restricted games, ensuring players are within the allowed age range. Verify your identity by:
- Providing required documents during registration
- Validating ID at our dedicated verification platform
