Should players wish to establish deposit limits on their account with Give Back Bingo, please visit the Responsible Gaming tab in the cashier or contact our Customer Service department who will happily assist with your query. Limits can be set daily weekly or monthly.

For customers that wish to restrict their gambling, Give Back Bingo offers a self-exclusion facility. On request, Give Back Bingo will close any account for a minimum period of 6 months. During an exclusion period, the account cannot be re-opened for any reason. A player can close his/her account at any time by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team on 0800 901 2511 (Freephone) or 0203 700 1157 (Landline) or by emailing [email protected] with the player’s username and registered email details of the account which is to be closed. Customers are encouraged to consider extending their self-exclusion to other remote gambling operators currently used by them.

A self-exclusion can be activated immediately without any cooling-off period. However, if a player wishes to consider the self-exclusion further (for example to discuss with problem gambling groups) the player may return at a later date to enter request for a self-exclusion.

Upon self-exclusion all future wagers, pre-purchased bingo tickets, loyalty points, bonus funds and entries in any promotions will be forfeited. These will not be reinstated if the account is reopened after the self-exclusion period. All remaining balances provided the terms and conditions are met, less any active bonuses will be transferred to the player bank card, bank account, paid by cheque or transferred to any other payment method which we make available.

Accounts closed as part of our self-exclusion policy cannot be re-opened for any reason until the self-exclusion period has expired. Upon expiry of the self-exclusion period a player may request to re-open a closed account by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team on free phone 0800 901 2511 (Freephone) or 0203 700 1157 (Landline) with the details of the account to be re-opened. When a request to re-open is made, a player will need to wait for a 24 hour cooling off period before that the account can be re-activated.

We will use all reasonable endeavors to ensure compliance with our responsible gaming self-exclusion policy. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that whilst a player is self-excluded, the player do not receive any marketing material from us. However, we cannot be held liable for any 3rd third party affiliate marketing that a player may receive which remains beyond our control. Also, a player may still receive promotional/marketing material for up to 21 days after account closure if such request for self-exclusion is made after a campaign launch.

A player accepts that we have no responsibility or liability whatsoever if the player continues to deposit and wager using additional not previously disclosed accounts or if the player opens up a new account with substantially the same personal registration information, albeit inputted into the registration form in a different way.

If you are considering self-exclusion, you may wish to register with GAMSTOP.
GAMSTOP is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.

What will happen to the information I give you?

Rest assured that all information you provide to us will remain 100% confidential and treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

What happens if I do not provide you with the CDD info that you have requested?
