Responsible Gaming

Gaming That Respects You!

Responsible Gaming

At Familygiftshoppe, we believe gaming should always remain an enjoyable, safe, and positive experience. It is designed for entertainment — never as a source of stress, income, or financial recovery. Maintaining balance and awareness ensures a healthy relationship with play.

Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gaming

Being mindful of your habits is the first step toward responsible play. You may need a break or professional support if you notice any of the following:

• Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
• Ignoring work, school, or personal responsibilities
• Borrowing money or using credit to continue gaming
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or irritable about gaming
• Hiding gaming behavior from friends or family
• Struggling to stop or reduce playtime

Where to Find Help

If gaming ever stops being fun, professional and confidential help is available:

Self-Exclusion & Player Tools

Licensed gaming operators provide tools to help you maintain control, such as:

• Self-exclusion options — temporarily suspend account access
• Deposit and time limits — set boundaries for spending and playtime
• Reality checks — reminders to take breaks or assess your habits

These features are designed to promote healthy play and give users full control over their gaming activity.

Maintaining Healthy Play Habits

Before you begin gaming, set realistic limits that fit your lifestyle and budget.

• Treat gaming purely as entertainment.
• Only spend money you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Take regular breaks to avoid fatigue or stress.
• Reach out for support if gaming becomes emotionally difficult.
