Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Grain de Bulles, we take responsible gaming seriously—even though our platform involves no real money gambling. We believe that healthy gaming habits are important regardless of whether real money is involved.

What is Social Casino Gaming?

Social casino games are free-to-play games that simulate casino-style gameplay but do not involve real money wagering or prizes. Think of it like playing board games with friends—it's about fun and entertainment, not financial gain.

Key Differences from Real Money Gambling:

• No Financial Risk: You never deposit or wager real money
• No Real Prizes: You cannot win cash or items of monetary value
• Different Odds: Our games are not calibrated like real casino games
• Practice ≠ Success: Playing our games does not improve your chances at real gambling

Healthy Gaming Practices

Even with free games, we encourage players to maintain healthy habits:

1. Set Time Limits

Gaming should be one of many activities in your life, not the only one. Set reasonable time limits for your sessions and stick to them. If you find yourself spending excessive time gaming, it may be time to take a break.

2. Take Regular Breaks

Take breaks every 30-60 minutes. Stand up, stretch, hydrate, and give your eyes a rest from the screen.

3. Balance Your Activities

Make sure gaming doesn't interfere with important responsibilities like work, school, family time, or social activities. Life balance is essential for well-being.

4. Understand the Nature of the Games

Remember that these are games of chance designed for entertainment. The outcomes are random and unpredictable. Don't treat them as skill-based activities or a way to "practice" for real gambling.

5. Don't Chase Losses (Even Virtual Ones)

Even though no real money is involved, some players can become frustrated by losing streaks. Remember—it's just entertainment. If you're not having fun, take a break.

Age Requirements

You must be at least 19 years old to use Grain de Bulles. This age requirement exists even though no real money is involved, as we believe it's important to set appropriate boundaries.
