Mitigation of Gaming Dependency
Fostering responsible gaming is fundamental to our operational philosophy.

- Regular prompts and notifications encouraging users to take breaks during extended play sessions.
- Collaboration with reputable entities specializing in the prevention and treatment of gaming addiction, such as GamCare, Gambling Therapy, and BeGambleAware.
Through these proactive measures, we aspire to cultivate an environment where players can derive enjoyment from their preferred online games while sustaining a healthy equilibrium with other aspects of their lives. Any player who believes their gaming behavior might be problematic is strongly encouraged to seek immediate assistance.
