Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Little Jacks Pet Supplies, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Bingo and other games of chance should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to play, please do so within your means and always gamble responsibly.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities, including bingo. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount spent
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Increasing stakes or time spent gambling to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Experiencing relationship conflicts due to gambling
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gaming Features
Most reputable gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly spending limit
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount of money you can lose in a specific period
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during play sessions to help you track time and spend
- Session Timers: Set reminders to take breaks
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gaming accounts
