Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to You
At PlayWithChips, we believe gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. While our platform offers social casino games with no real money gambling, we recognize the importance of maintaining healthy gaming habits and providing resources for those who may need support.
Our social casino operates on virtual currency only - no real money is involved in gameplay, deposits, or withdrawals. However, we still prioritize responsible gaming practices to ensure all our players have a positive experience.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Even in social gaming environments, it's important to maintain healthy boundaries. Be mindful if you notice any of these patterns:
- Spending excessive time on gaming activities that interferes with daily responsibilities
- Feeling anxious or irritated when unable to play
- Using gaming as the primary way to cope with stress or negative emotions
- Neglecting relationships, work, or personal care due to gaming
- Lying about time spent gaming or hiding gaming activity from others
- Continuing to play despite negative consequences in other areas of life
Staying in Control
Here are some tips to maintain healthy gaming habits:
- Set Time Limits: Decide beforehand how long you'll play and stick to it
- Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gaming periodically to maintain perspective
- Keep Gaming Social: Play with friends and family, not in isolation
- Maintain Balance: Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, relationships, or health
- Stay Aware: Monitor your emotions and behaviors around gaming
- Seek Variety: Engage in diverse activities and hobbies beyond gaming
