Is Bingo regarded as Gambling
Gambling is a legal and popular pass-time, enjoyed by people the world over in many guises. Bingo, like the various national lotteries around the globe, is considered a ‘soft’ form of gambling, associated with old ladies and church halls more than flashy Las Vegas style casinos.
However, with the surge in popularity of online Bingo, the question is arising - is it possible that the hidden danger of gambling addiction lurks in this innocent game, after all?
According to the Australian Minister for Gaming, John Pandazopoulos, who recently launched that country’s Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, keeping the following criteria in mind could help players enter into the enjoyment of games such as bingo safely:
-
Gamble for the fun of it, not for the money.
-
Set yourself a limit and don’t exceed it.
-
Don’t chase your losses. Walk away.
-
Think of the people who need your support.
