Responsible Play Guide
This page focuses on habits that help keep prize-style participation controlled and healthy. If you ever feel pressure, anxiety, or loss of control, stop and reach out for support.
Core principles
- Treat prize-style participation as optional entertainment — not income.
- Decide your time and money limits before you begin.
- Stop when limits are reached, even if you feel “close”.
- Never chase outcomes or attempt to recover losses.
- Keep balance: sleep, work, relationships, and health come first.
Early warning signs
- Increasing time spent “just to finish”.
- Feeling irritated or restless when not participating.
- Hiding activity from others.
- Using funds meant for essentials.
- Breaking your own rules repeatedly.
If you notice any sign, pause early — that’s success, not failure.
Practical limits
- Time limit: use a timer and stop when it ends.
- Budget limit: set a fixed amount for entertainment only.
- Session limit: cap the number of rounds (e.g., 10–20).
- Cool-off: take a break day after any stressful session.
