⚠ Social games ≠ real gambling
Social games may look and feel like real casino games, but they are not. No real money changes hands. Winning virtual credits does not mean you will win in real gambling — the two are completely different.

Tips for responsible Social games play
Set time limits
Decide how long you will play before you start. Take a break after 30 minutes minimum. Set an alarm if needed.
Play for entertainment only
If you find yourself playing to relieve stress, escape problems, or feel excitement rather than for fun, that is a sign to stop.
Keep it separate from real gambling
Do not use Social games as "practice" for real-money gambling. They do not replicate real gambling outcomes.
Talk openly
If someone close to you is concerned about how much time you spend on Social games, listen to them. Their concern may be valid.
