SMALL HABITS, BETTER BALANCE

Make room for a break.

Set a time limit

Choose a session length before you start. Set a timer on your device.

Take regular breaks

Step away from the screen. Stretch, get a drink and check how you feel.

Keep play balanced

Protect time for sleep, work, friends and the things you enjoy offline.

Entertainment only

Virtual outcomes have no cash value. Social play is not a way to make money.

CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF

When to step back.

Take a break if any of these feel familiar.

  • You regularly play longer than you intended.
  • Play gets in the way of sleep or everyday commitments.
  • You feel frustrated, distracted or struggle to stop.
  • You use play to avoid difficult feelings or conversations.

FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Concerned about someone?

Start with a calm conversation and ask what support they would welcome. If real-money gambling is causing harm, GamCare and the NHS offer information for people affected and those close to them. Their links are above.

Adults only

Cherry's Play is for people aged 18 or over. Do not share access with children or younger people.

Shared devices

On a shared device, clear site data after a session if you do not want age confirmation or game progress to remain for the next person.

Keep perspective

Social games can still take up time and attention. A break is always an option.
