Responsible play
Free games should stay fun.
How to keep play in proportion, what the warning signs look like, and where to get help.
Keep it in proportion
- Decide how long you'll play before you start. The session clock at the bottom of every page shows how long you've been here.
- Take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Don't use games to escape stress, worry or low mood.
- Remember that coins have no value. Winning or losing them changes nothing in real life.
- Free games don't teach you to win at real-money gambling.
Warning signs
It may be time to stop or talk to someone if you notice that you:
- often play for longer than you meant to
- think about the games a lot when you're not playing
- feel irritable or low when you stop
- are using free games to practise for real-money gambling
- hide how much time you spend playing
