Responsible play tips — Australia

Recognising risky play

Knowing the signs helps you pause or ask for support. Look out for:

• Playing longer than intended or losing track of time.
• Chasing virtual losses with bigger bets or frantic play.
• Using play to avoid problems or mood regulation.
• Neglecting responsibilities or relationships because of play.

Practical tips to keep play responsible

1. Set a session time limit before you start — use a timer or alarm.
2. Decide a virtual coin budget per session and stick to it.
3. Take regular breaks: stand up, walk, hydrate, and check the clock.
4. Play socially — invite friends or use community features rather than isolated sessions.
5. Avoid using play as a way to manage stress or strong emotions.

Tools & game settings

Our app and many devices offer tools to help manage play:

• Session timers and reminders (set intervals: 15–60 minutes).
• Sound and visual cues to indicate session end.
• Daily/weekly limits for virtual coins — preset and enforced.
• Logout after long idle periods; use device-level screen-time controls.

Quick setup checklist
