Games are entertainment
Everything on Gazetly is for fun. Scoop Coins are free and virtual with no monetary value, and there's nothing to buy, deposit or withdraw. Even so, it's sensible to keep an eye on how much time any game takes up.

Healthy habits
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen at least once an hour — stretch, have a drink, rest your eyes.
- Set reasonable limits. Decide how long you'll play before you start, and stop when you get there.
- Avoid excessive play. Don't let games crowd out sleep, work, study, exercise or time with people you care about.
- Keep it fun. If you're playing out of boredom, stress or habit instead of enjoyment, take a break.
- Let a low balance be a full stop. Out of coins? Close the page and pick up tomorrow's edition.
- Play when you're feeling good — not when you're overtired, upset or under the influence.
When to take a longer break
It might be time for a longer break if you notice you:
- regularly play much longer than planned or find it hard to stop;
- feel restless or irritable when you can't play;
- use games to escape worries or low moods;
- lose sleep or neglect other parts of your life because of gaming.
Talking with someone you trust, or with a healthcare professional, can help if gaming stops feeling positive.
