Responsible Gaming

Play tips that help

• Set time limits: decide your session length before you start.
• Take breaks: step away if you feel frustrated, tired, or “chasing”.
• Keep balance: prioritize work, study, relationships, and sleep.
• Stay mindful: avoid playing when stressed, angry, or under the influence.

Quick self-check

If you answer “yes” to any of these, it may be time to pause and talk to someone you trust or a professional:

• Playing longer than planned or hiding play from others
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you stop
• Neglecting responsibilities, hobbies, or relationships
• Trying to “win back” losses from other activities

This is educational guidance, not a diagnosis.

Tools you can use

• Device controls: use Screen Time (iOS) / Digital Wellbeing (Android).
• Browser controls: block distracting sites during set hours.
• Account breaks: log out and remove saved passwords to reduce impulse play.
• Support: consider counseling or peer support if urges feel hard to manage.
