Responsible Gaming

At ReddyAnna, gaming should be fun. That’s it. It shouldn’t become your income, your escape, or something you feel you can’t control. Gamble with the money that you are able to lose and, most importantly, know your limits. And once it stops becoming fun, stop.

Keep It Under Control

Some basic guidelines will do wonders:

  • Have a budget. Don’t use money needed for bills, food, rent, and so on, for video games.

  • Have a deadline. Don’t allow your video game playing to affect sleep, work, studies, family time, and all else.

  • Don’t pursue losses. Just because you’ve lost money doesn’t mean you have to get it back.

  • Never borrow to play. If you can’t afford it, don’t play.

  • There’s no magic system, guaranteed win, or secret trick that removes the risk. Outcomes can go either way.

When Things Start Feeling Off

Take a step back if you:

  • Spend more time or money than planned.

  • Keep thinking about gaming all day.

  • Play to recover money you lost.

  • Hide your gaming or spending from others.

  • Continue playing regardless of what financial or personal issues may arise.

  • Have you noticed that your game addiction is causing difficulties at work, in your relationships, in sleeping, and in your everyday activities, too?

  • If yes, then nothing’s wrong with accepting it.

Set Your Limits Before You Play

Decide your money, time, and frequency limits before you start. Once you hit the limit, stop. If you’re struggling to stop, take a longer break. Where available, use account restrictions or self-exclusion tools. Don’t try to get around them with another account.

Keep Young People Away

Money-based gaming is for people who meet the legal age requirement where they live. Parents and guardians should also use device controls, protect account details, and keep payment methods out of reach of children.

Want Assistance?

If the gaming activity is beginning to affect your finances, relationships, job performance, and mental state, speak to someone you trust. This could be your family, friend, therapist, or an assistance organization. And see, seeking assistance does not make you weak. It may very well make you strong.

The Simple Check

Before you play, ask yourself:

  • Can I afford this?

  • Can I stop when I hit my limit?

  • Am I playing for fun, not to win back losses?

  • Is gaming interfering with real life? 

  • Then maybe it is time for a rest. 

  • But if there is any doubt, don't play. Have a rest.

ReddyAnna's Rule

Be it fun. Be it balanced. Know when to stop. Gaming is a hobby, not a solution to financial problems and life domination.
