Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Ignition Bar, we believe that gaming at Mecca Bingo should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not access our site.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be an issue:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Gambling with money intended for essentials (bills, rent, food)
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Experiencing mood swings, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Feeling a loss of control over gambling habits
Self-Help Tools & Deposit Limits
We provide tools to help you maintain control over your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose during a session or time period
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing
- Time-Out: Take a break from gaming for a set period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from your account for a longer period, preventing access to your gaming account
