Responsible Play

Playing Mindfully

Even in a free game, it is worth keeping healthy habits in mind. Here are a few principles we encourage:

• ✓

  Keep it fun

  The game is here to entertain. If a session starts to feel like a chore or a pressure, that is a good signal to stop and do something else.

• ✓

  Set time limits

  It is easy to lose track of time when you are in a game flow. Consider setting a phone timer as a natural stopping point.

• ✓

  Take regular breaks

  Step away, stretch, have a drink of water. Coming back fresh means the experience stays enjoyable.

• ✓

  Keep perspective

  Virtual coins going up or down have no impact on your real finances. Remember: this is entertainment only.

• ✓

  If you play real-money games elsewhere

  Free social games and real-money gambling are very different experiences. Be aware of the distinction and seek support if real-money gambling is becoming a concern.
