Enjoy our social gaming platform safely and responsibly. Learn about healthy gaming habits and available resources.
What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means enjoying our platform in a way that is fun, safe, and within your personal limits. Even though our games are free and for entertainment only, it's important to maintain healthy gaming habits.
Set Time Limits
Decide how much time you want to spend gaming before you start playing.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly to rest your eyes and mind.
Keep It Fun
Gaming should be entertaining. If it stops being fun, take a break.
Balance Your Life
Maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities.
Recognizing Unhealthy Gaming Patterns
While our platform doesn't involve real money, it's still important to recognize when gaming habits might become problematic:
Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Spending more time gaming than intended
- Neglecting responsibilities or relationships
- Gaming to escape problems or negative feelings
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
- Lying about time spent gaming
- Loss of interest in other activities
Self-Assessment Tools
Use these questions to reflect on your gaming habits:
Time Management
- Do you lose track of time while gaming?
- Do you gaming for longer than you planned?
- Does gaming interfere with sleep or meals?
Social Impact
- Do you cancel social plans to game?
- Has gaming affected your relationships?
- Do you prefer gaming over spending time with others?
Emotional Well-being
- Do you use gaming to avoid dealing with problems?
- Do you feel anxious when you can't game?
- Does gaming affect your mood significantly?
If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, consider taking a break or seeking support.
Healthy Gaming Tips
Set a Schedule
Decide when and for how long you'll play before you start. Use timers to help stick to your limits.
Take Breaks
Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Stay Hydrated
Keep water nearby and take regular drinks, especially during longer gaming sessions.
Maintain Perspective
Remember that games are for entertainment. Virtual wins and losses have no real-world value.
Stay Social
Don't let gaming replace real-world social interactions. Maintain relationships outside of gaming.
Mix Activities
Engage in various hobbies and activities to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
