Limiting the amount of money you spend: The vast majority of online bingo sites provide their customers with tools to limit the amount of money they can spend in a set time period. It is always advisable to consider whether the use of deposit limits/spending limiter would be useful to you in helping you to control the amount of money you spend.

Managing the time spent gambling: Many online bingo sites will provide regular reminders of the total duration of time that your gambling session has lasted and to continue to gamble you will need to confirm the message. For those web sites which don't have automatic time reminders you may like to consider having a visible clock on you computer screen displayed at all times.

Self-Exclusion: If you think you have a gambling problem or would simply like to take a break from gambling, which is supported by the website you play on, then you should consider "Self-Exclusion". At most gambling websites you can opt for either a temporary exclusion or may exclude yourself form gambling at that website permanently. If you would like to block your personal access to gambling facilities on the Internet then visit www.gamblock.com. You can find information at Gamblock on how you can block your personal access to internet gambling websites on the web.

Preventing Under Age Play: You must be aged 18 years or over to use FreeBingoHunter and all the websites we promote also require players to be over 18. If you would like to prevent access by people under 18 to gambling websites then the following links provide access to recognised intenet filtering programmes:
