Responsible Gaming & Player Wellbeing
Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. While our platform offers only entertainment with virtual currency, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices for all players.
Understanding Social Casino Gaming
What is Social Casino Gaming? Social casino gaming is a form of entertainment that mimics traditional casino-style games but uses virtual currency instead of real money. It's designed for fun and social interaction, similar to other video games, without the financial risks associated with real gambling.
Important Distinctions:
- This is NOT real money gambling
- You cannot win money or valuable prizes
- Virtual coins have no monetary value
- Should be treated as entertainment, like any video game
However, we recognize that even entertainment gaming should be enjoyed responsibly and in moderation.
Play Responsibly - Set Your Limits
While our games are free and don't involve real money, it's important to develop healthy gaming habits to maintain balance in your life.
Time Management:
- Set time limits for your gaming sessions
- Take regular breaks to rest your eyes and stretch
- Balance gaming with other responsibilities and activities
- Don't let gaming interfere with work, family, or sleep
- Use timers or alarms to remind yourself to take breaks
Self-Awareness:
- Monitor how much time you spend on the platform
- Be honest with yourself about your gaming habits
- Recognize if gaming is becoming a problem
- Don't use gaming as an escape from real-life issues
- Seek help if you're concerned about your gaming behavior
Platform Tools:
- Session time reminders to help track your play time
- Self-exclusion options if you need a break
- Activity tracking to monitor your gaming habits
- Quick access to support resources and helplines
Gaming Should Be Just One Part of Your Life
Remember:
- Gaming should be fun, not stressful or compulsive
- Take regular breaks and maintain a healthy balance
- Spend time with family and friends offline
- Keep up with your responsibilities and commitments
- Maintain physical activity and healthy habits
Warning Signs to Watch For:
Even with virtual currency games, you should seek help if:
- Gaming interferes with work, school, or family obligations
- You feel anxious or irritable when not gaming
- You're neglecting relationships due to gaming
- You spend excessive time thinking about the games
- You're using this platform to "practice" for real gambling
Important: If you have a history of gambling problems or addiction, social casino games may not be appropriate for you. Please consult a professional before using this platform.
