Responsible Play
Habits that support control
Stop when you reach the limits you set, take breaks and do not increase participation merely to recover an earlier outcome. Check the actual service's controls and terms rather than assuming every platform has the same tools. If play affects work, family or finances, pause and seek appropriate support.
- Set limits
- Decide on time and budget before starting.
- Take breaks
- Step away from the screen and reassess the experience.
- Seek support
- Talk to a trusted person or suitable professional when needed.
