Responsible Gambling

RTSB Ltd also known as “Match Bingo”, is committed to providing a responsible gaming environment.

Whilst the majority of individuals do gamble within their means, for some, gambling can become a problem. As part of our commitment to promoting socially responsible gambling, the following guidance is provided.

Potential indicators of a problem

  1. Viewing gambling as a way of making money, rather than entertainment
  2. Chasing losses or gambling to try and get out of financial trouble
  3. Spending more money and time on gambling than you can afford
  4. Finding it hard to manage or stop gambling
  5. Finding that gambling makes you feel anxious, worried, guilty, depressed, or irritable
  6. Finding that gambling takes priority over work, family, or personal needs and responsibilities or usual activities or hobbies
  7. Borrowing money, selling possessions, or failing to pay bills in order to fund gambling
  8. Lying about gambling or hiding it from other people
  9. Arguing with family or friends about money and gambling
  10. More information about the signs of problem gambling can be found on the Gambleaware and GamCare websites.
