Responsible play
Bingo should stay entertainment, not become a financial problem.
Set your limits before you arrive, pay attention to how play is affecting you, and use the support resources below if bingo stops feeling recreational.
Age requirement · 18+
Under Florida law, no person under 18 years of age may play bingo or instant bingo or participate in conducting it. Mary Esther Bingo requires all participants to be 18 or older. Valid identification may be requested at entry.
Set limits before you start
Simple limits are easier to follow when you decide on them before the session begins.
- Choose a spending limit that fits your entertainment budget and stick to it.
- Set a time limit for your visit if that helps you keep play in perspective.
- Do not chase losses or increase spending because you feel a win is due.
- Do not borrow money to play bingo.
- Take a break if bingo stops being enjoyable or begins causing stress.
Know the warning signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Pay attention when play starts changing your finances, relationships, mood, or responsibilities.
- Spending more time or money than you intended.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions so you can keep playing.
- Hiding or lying about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not playing.

- Neglecting work, family, bills, or other responsibilities.
