Responsible Gaming
Games should be fun, not stress. This page applies to every game and app listed on our site. Learn how to set limits, spot the warning signs and find help when you need it. For adults 18+ only.
Responsible gaming means you stay in control of the game, and the game never controls you, your money or your time.
Card games, rummy, puzzles, fantasy and casual games can all pull you in for hours. If a game involves real money, there is a financial risk, and no one wins every time. The safest approach is to treat gaming as entertainment, never as a way to earn.

6 rules for safe gaming
Simple habits that keep any game fun and your life balanced.
Minors must not download or play. Keep your phone and any payment details away from children.
Decide how long you will play before you open the app. Set a phone alarm and stop when it rings.
Only use money you can afford to lose. Never use rent, bills, savings or borrowed money.
After a bad run, stop. Playing more to win back money usually makes the loss bigger.
Step away often. Don't play when you are tired, angry, stressed or after drinking.
Check the app's terms and your state's laws first. Never share OTPs, passwords or card details with anyone.
5 warning signs to watch for
If one or more of these sounds familiar, it is time to pause and talk to someone.
One quick game turns into hours, again and again.
Taking loans or using family money to keep playing.
Lying to family or friends about time and money spent.
Missing work, study, sleep or meals because of games.
Stress, anger or anxiety when you can't play or when you lose.
Quick self-check
Ask yourself honestly:
- Am I spending more time or money than I planned?
- Do I think about games all day, even at work or in class?
- Would I be comfortable if my family saw my spending?
- Do I play to escape problems or bad feelings?
If you said "yes" to any of these, take a break for a few days and consider speaking to someone you trust.
