A popular Bingo game organization is asking gamblers to stop following their employees making card deliveries, and if players feel the need to do so, to contact Addictions Foundation of Manitoba.

The non-profit made a Facebook post today announcing they will no longer be releasing the locations of Bingo card deliveries for the safety of their employees.

"We apologize to our players and retailers for the craziness this week, and just know that we still love 99.9% of you out there," Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo says in a Facebook post.

The organization has received reports of their employees being followed as they made their deliveries to stores across the city. They noted that there have been instances of their couriers being chased in the streets for cards and excessive rudeness towards retail employees.

"Please consider calling the Gambling Hotline at 204-944-6382 in Winnipeg, or toll-free 1-800-463-1554," the organization says.

Kingsmen Jackpot Bingo is hoping stores who have customers they suspect are in need of assistance to gather the customer's information so that Kinsmen can reach out with support.

The organization gives the profits from the games to Agape Table, Manitoba Special Olympics, and others.

This Saturday's jackpot is an estimated $640,000.
