Responsible Gaming
Play lightly, stay in charge
Credits here are worthless, but your time isn’t, and gambling-style games can hook some people. Below are the safeguards we provide and the habits that help.
Safeguards on the site
- Visit clock. The footer on every page shows how long you’ve been here in this tab.
- Hourly reminder. A message appears after each full hour suggesting you step away.
- Age checks. A confirmation on arrival and a date of birth when you register.
- Time out on request. Ask us to pause or limit your account.
- Deletion in one step. Remove your account any time from My account.
Habits that help
- Fix a time limit before you open a game, and keep to it.
- Get up every hour: stretch, drink water, rest your eyes.
- Stop when you feel annoyed, anxious or compelled to continue.
- Don’t play to dodge stress, loneliness or a bad mood, and protect sleep, work and relationships.
- Remember credits are not money and past results don’t shape what comes next.
Free play isn’t real-money gambling. If you do gamble for money elsewhere, spend only what you can afford to lose, never chase losses, and never use money you need for essentials.
Warning signs
- Playing longer than planned, or thinking about it all day.
- Feeling edgy or irritable when you try to cut back.
- Hiding your play from people close to you.
- Letting duties slip, or feeling low after sessions.
