Keeping play fun: limits, breaks and when to step away
Games should be entertainment. Here are simple habits and the tools on KingTide that help you stay in control.
Game rooms are meant to be fun. A few simple habits help keep them that way.
Habits worth keeping
- Decide on an amount before you play, and treat it as money spent on entertainment.
- Don't chase losses. Adding more to win it back usually makes things worse.
- Set a time to stop, and take real breaks.
- Never play with money you need for bills, rent or food.
Tools you can use
Our Responsible Gaming page has limits, breaks and self-exclusion. You can use them whenever you like, and you don't need a reason.
Signs it may be time for a break
You're hiding your play from people close to you, you're borrowing to keep going, or playing has stopped being fun. Any of these is a good reason to pause.
