Bondage riggers may participate in bondage for many reasons. These may include: as a form of BDSM or D/s play for personal enjoyment; as an art form, such as in the Japanese bondage styles shibari and kinbaku; or as an enterprise for profit, by selling books, videos, or photographs.

Bondage riggers work with one or more rope bottoms or bondage models, or may tie themselves in a practice called self-rigging or self-suspension. Some rope bottoms and bondage models are bondage riggers themselves.

Responsible bondage riggers always follow safety principles such as risk-aware consensual kink (RACK) when rigging.^{[citation needed]}
