Responsible Gaming
Playing social casino games responsibly and accessing support when needed
Our Commitment to Responsible Entertainment
At FortuneArcade, we are dedicated to providing a safe and responsible social casino experience for all UK players. While our platform does not involve real money gambling, we recognize that any form of gaming should be enjoyed in a healthy, balanced way. This page provides guidance on responsible gaming practices and resources for those who may need support.
Understanding Social Casino Games
FortuneArcade offers online social slots and social games that use virtual credits only. These games are designed purely for entertainment and do not involve real money deposits, gambling, or cash prizes. However, we still encourage players to approach these games with mindfulness and moderation.
Responsible Gaming Tips
1. Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you want to play and stick to that timeframe. Setting boundaries helps ensure that gaming remains a fun activity rather than something that interferes with other important aspects of your life.
2. Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen periodically. Taking breaks helps maintain a healthy perspective and prevents extended gaming sessions that could become problematic.
3. Remember It's Entertainment Only
Our social casino games are not a way to make money. Virtual credits have no real-world value and cannot be converted to cash. Always keep in mind that this is purely for fun.
4. Balance Gaming with Other Activities
Ensure that playing social slots is just one of many activities you enjoy. Maintain a balanced lifestyle with social interactions, physical activity, work, and hobbies outside of gaming.
5. Be Aware of Your Habits
Regularly check in with yourself about how much time you're spending on social casino games. If you find yourself thinking about the games constantly or feeling compelled to play, it may be time to reassess your gaming habits.
18+ Only
FortuneArcade is strictly for players aged 18 years and older. This age requirement ensures that our social casino platform is used by adults who can make informed decisions about their entertainment choices. We take age verification seriously and expect all users to comply with this requirement.

Recognizing Problem Gaming Behavior
While FortuneArcade is a no-risk social casino platform, it's important to be aware of signs that gaming (of any kind) might be becoming a problem:
- Spending more time gaming than intended or planned
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gaming
- Using gaming to escape from problems or negative feelings
- Neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or self-care due to gaming
- Lying to others about the amount of time spent gaming
- Feeling unable to reduce or stop gaming despite wanting to
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to one of the support organizations listed above. Seeking help early can make a significant difference.
For Friends and Family
If you're concerned about someone's gaming habits, whether on social casino platforms or elsewhere, support is available for you too. Organizations like GamCare and GambleAware offer guidance for friends and family members who want to help a loved one. Approach the conversation with empathy, avoid judgment, and encourage them to seek professional support.
