Responsible gaming

OUR COMMITMENT

MamaMia Bingo is committed to Responsible Gambling. We promote gambling as an enjoyable leisure activity and we believe that gambling can only remain this way if you stay in control and gamble responsibly. However, we know that for some people gambling can stop being a harmless leisure activity and become a problem.

To assist you we offer a range of advice and account options to help you manage your gambling. These give you control of both the time and money you spend gambling.

All these options can be found under the section Settings > Limit Your Game

Self Exclusion

If you are finding that your gameplay is having a negative effect on you personally, your situation or those around you, you are able to close your account under our ‘Self-Exclusion’ feature. This feature is available to players on-site through the Responsible Gambling menu, and can also be activated by contacting our customer support services directly.

If you choose to self-exclude, you will not be allowed access to your account before your exclusion ends. If your account is currently self-excluded and you would like to extend the exclusion period, you can do this by contacting our customer support team via email support-se@mamamiabingo.com.

You can also contact the customer support team to request to withdraw any funds you may have on an account which has been self-excluded.

Our customer service staff receive dedicated training on dealing with problem gambling issues and are available to listen and to support you in keeping control. If you would like to talk to someone here about problem gambling please Contact Us.
There are also a number of independent problem gambling support services who offer a range of contact methods together with free and confidential advice.

If you are concerned about your gambling please complete our problem gambling self-assessment below, this will help you consider whether you may have a problem.

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING TIPS

We believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable leisure activity. Remembering these simple tips can help make sure your gambling doesn’t become a problem.

  1. Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a way of making money.
  2. Bet sensibly and never chase your losses.
  3. Only gamble what you can afford to lose. Use Deposit Limits to manage the amount of money you spend.
  4. Monitor the amount of time you spend playing. Set up Reality Checks to remind you how long you have been logged into your account.
  5. Balance gambling with other activities. If gambling is your only form of entertainment think about whether you are still having fun.
  6. Take regular breaks from gambling. Gambling continuously can cause you to lose track of time and perspective.
  7. Don’t gamble when under the influence of alcohol or when you’re upset or depressed.
  8. Think about how much money you spend gambling. You can track your activity in your Online Account History.
  9. If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then contact our customer service team or a problem gambling support service.

LIMIT YOUR GAME

If you think you have a serious gambling problem you should take the necessary steps to temporarily suspend or exclude your account until you resolve your issues. Should you not wish to suspend or exclude your account but just better control your gaming times and spending you may choose to place limits on your deposits, losses, turnover or session times. You can set your own limits and determine how much you can play.

We provide tools that will allow you to limit your game in different ways. For your benefit you will not be allowed to remove any restrictions placed on your account or bets until a minimum period of seven days has elapsed from when you created the limitation. Increase in restrictions will be effected immediately.

Set up a limit or request a suspension or exclusion.
