MapleFun.ca – Responsible Gaming
Hey there, at MapleFun.ca, we want everyone to have a good time, but it's important to look after yourself. Gaming should be fun, and it is important to make sure it doesn't take over your life.
1. Gaming Smart:
- Keep an eye on how long you're playing and give yourself breaks.
- Play for fun, not to fix money problems or anything else that's bugging you.
- Watch yourself and see if you're playing too much.
2. Is It Becoming a Problem?
It might be if:
You can't stop playing even when you want to.
- You feel bad when you're not playing.
- You're blowing off stuff like work or hanging out with people.
- You're using games to forget about bad feelings.
If any of this rings a bell, get some help!
3. Some Ideas That Might Help:
Use timers to keep track of how long you're playing.
Make a mental note how often you play.
Decide how much money is okay to spend, and don't go over it.
Do fun stuff away from the screen.
