Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment

At Southern Times, we are deeply committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While our platform is a social casino with no real money involved, we believe that fostering healthy gaming habits is essential for an enjoyable experience.

We want every visit to Southern Times to be a positive one. Gaming should be a source of entertainment and relaxation — never stress or concern.

Important Facts

Tips for Responsible Gaming

1. Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you want to play and stick to that timeframe. Use a timer or alarm if helpful.
2. Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen periodically. A good rule is to take a 10-minute break every hour.
3. Keep It Fun: Remember that gaming is entertainment. If you're no longer enjoying yourself, it's time to take a break.
4. Balance Your Activities: Ensure gaming doesn't replace other important activities like socialising, exercise, or work.
5. Don't Chase Losses: Even in a social casino with no real money, the urge to "win back" virtual currency can lead to unhealthy patterns. Play for fun, not for virtual rewards.
6. Be Honest With Yourself: If you feel that gaming is becoming compulsive or is negatively affecting your life, seek support.
7. Protect Minors: Ensure that children under 18 do not access our platform. Use parental controls on shared devices.

Age Restriction (18+)

Southern Times is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We take this requirement seriously and implement age verification upon registration. If we discover that a user is under 18, their account will be terminated immediately.

Parents and guardians should be aware of their children's online activities and use parental control tools to restrict access to age-inappropriate content.
