Responsible Play

Keeping your gaming experience balanced and enjoyable

Our Commitment to Responsible Play

At KiwiJoy Arcade, we believe that social play should be a fun, balanced part of your lifestyle. Our platform is designed for entertainment only, with no real-money features or financial incentives. We're committed to promoting healthy play habits and providing resources to help you maintain control.

Tips for Balanced Play

Here are some practical tips to help you keep your gaming experience positive and balanced:

Set Time Limits

Decide in advance how much time you want to spend playing and stick to it. Use timers or alarms to help you keep track.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen every hour. Stretch, hydrate, and give your eyes and mind a rest.

Balance Activities

Make sure gaming is just one of many activities in your life. Maintain time for work, socializing, exercise, and other hobbies.

No Pressure to Play

Remember that there's no obligation to play. Our platform is designed for casual enjoyment, not competition or pressure.

Age Restrictions

KiwiJoy Arcade is intended for users aged 18 and over. We verify age upon first visit and restrict access to underage users. This ensures our content is appropriate for adult audiences only.

Entertainment-Only Experience

It's important to remember that KiwiJoy Arcade is designed purely for entertainment. We do not offer:

  • Real-money features or financial transactions
  • Cash prizes or monetary rewards
  • Financial risk of any kind

All points, tokens, and achievements are for entertainment value only and have no monetary worth.

Recognizing When to Take a Break

Social play should enhance your life, not dominate it. Consider taking a break if you notice:

  • Gaming interfering with responsibilities or relationships
  • Difficulty controlling the amount of time spent playing
  • Using gaming to escape from problems or negative feelings
  • Neglecting personal care, work, or other important activities

Parental Controls

If you're a parent or guardian, we recommend:

  • Using device-level parental controls to restrict access
  • Monitoring screen time and online activities
  • Having open conversations about balanced technology use
  • Ensuring children understand that our platform is for adults only

If you're concerned about your gaming habits or those of someone you know, these resources may be helpful:

  • Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand: Provides resources for mental wellbeing
  • Your healthcare provider: Can offer professional guidance and support
  • Community support groups: Local organizations that can provide assistance

Remember, the goal is to keep gaming a fun, positive part of your life. If it stops being enjoyable, it might be time to take a step back and reassess.
