Responsible Play

If you wish to self-exclude your account, please find full details on how to do so below.

​

We encourage you to always enjoy computer games in a safe manner. We have numerous measures as described further below to allow you to engage in our games in a fun and responsible manner.

​

Safe gameplay is when all players:

  • Have a fun, exciting, and entertaining experience;

  • Exercise control over their playtime and control over any in-game Gold Coin purchases;

  • Play in moderation and not to escape reality;

  • Balance playtime fairly with other real-life activities;

  • Do not avoid work, family, or other commitments to play games;

  • Avoid playing if under the effect of alcohol or any illicit substances; and

  • Avoid playing if they don’t feel comfortable or in control of your activities.

 

How can you spot a Computer Game Behavior Disorder?

  • Take notice of behavioral patterns that are characterized by the following:

    • An impaired control over playtime;

    • The need to prioritize gaming over other activities;

    • An elevated interest in games that surpasses that of other interests or daily responsibilities; or

    • A consistent escalation of playtime hours despite the occurrence of negative consequences surrounding the player.

  • It's important to note that for a computer game disorder to be diagnosed, the behavior pattern must be of sufficient severity while resulting in significant impairment of personal, family, social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and should normally have been evident for at least 12 months.

 

What should you do if you or someone you know may have a Computer Game Behavior Disorder?

  • Seek help from a qualified medical professional

  • Take some time to research it.

 

Learn more about the disorder by reading up on the following materials we've compiled here:

If you have any questions, or need a break from playing any of our games, please contact Customer Support.

​

How do I start the Self-Exclusion process?

You can contact support with the subject line Self Exclusion (“Self Exclusion Request”) or select Self Exclusion on our Contact Form. Please provide your full name, address and email address to ensure we can locate your account to implement the self-exclusion request.

​

If we cannot locate your account using this information, we may request additional information to verify your account.

 

There are two types of self-exclusion that you may request:

1) “Take a Break” this is where you would like to take a break from our Services but do not wish to permanently close your account. Your account will be closed for a set period of time. We currently offer “Take a Break” for a period of seven (7), fourteen (14) or thirty (30) days.

During this time access to your account will be limited for the period of time requested. Once you select a take a break period your account will remain closed for that period of time. It will not be possible to re-open your User Account during this time.  

Once the Take a Break period has expired access to your account will automatically resume unless you email and notify us you do not wish to re-open your User Account.

​

2) “Self-Exclusion” this is where you would like to limit the use of our Services more extensively. Self-Exclusion will be for a minimum of six (6) months, however, can extend to any duration required.  

  • During this time you will not be able to access the Services. After the initial six (6) months you can request access to your User Account again by fill out our Contact Form and requesting access to your User-Account.

  • Your request will be logged but access to your account will be subject to a further seven (7) day waiting period for the re-open request. Once this period has expired you will receive an email asking if you would still like to re-activate your account.

  • We may ask you some questions to ensure that you wish to open your account and that it is the right option for you.

  • At this point your User Account may be re-opened if you still wish to do so and we are satisfied that it should be re-opened. Re-opening of an account will be at our sole discretion.

  • If you just wish to close your account but not permanently prevent access to the Services you can fill out our Contact Form for account closure.

  • After your Self Exclusion Request has been processed you will receive a confirmation email to the email address that we determine is valid for your User Account. If you do not receive a confirmation email within seven days of submitting your Self Exclusion Request please immediately fill out our Contact Form to advise your confirmation email has not been received.

 

How long will it take to complete the Self-Exclusion process? 

  • We will process the Self-Exclusion or Take a Break Request for an account as soon as feasible after verification of the request. You will receive a confirmation email once your request is successfully processed. In the event that you choose to continue using your account during the Self-Exclusion or Take a Break Request period, you are responsible for all activity including purchases of Gold Coins.

  • We would strongly recommend that you logout of your User Account and cease your access to our social media as soon as you make your request.

 

Can you change your mind or reverse a Self-Excluded account?

  • Take a Break cannot be modified during the Take a Break period requested. Once the Take a Break period has concluded your User Account will be re-activated.

  • Self-Exclusion status cannot be modified or reversed in any manner for a period of six (6) months thereafter you can request reactivation of your User Account subject to a seven (7) day waiting period.

  • Please do not try to circumvent a Take a Break or Self-Exclusion by registering a new account, setting up new emails to register an account or in any way disguising their identify to register a new account. If you do try and circumvent these player safety tools it may lead to a permanent ban from our Services. We can not be held responsible for any actions or Gold Coin purchases made from any new or additional accounts used to circumvent a Take a Break of Self-Exclusion.

  • We will not email you to re-activate your account during a Self-Exclusion so it will continue indefinitely until we hear from you.

  • Notwithstanding the above, we may exclude you from our Services for a definite or indefinite period in our sole discretion if we believe that there are reasons to indicate that it is not in your best interests to have access to our Services or that you have computer gaming.

 

What happens to my Virtual Currency during the Self-Exclusion Period?

  • Your account will remain inactive during the Self-Exclusion or Take a Break Period. If an account is reactivated, Virtual Currencies are reinstated to the account to the previous amount immediately preceding the time of Self-Exclusion.

  • No refunds or transfer of Virtual Currencies or any other prize redemptions are permitted during the Self-Exclusion Period.
