Healthy Gaming Habits
Even with virtual currency, it’s important to maintain balance:
Set Time Limits

- Set a time limit before you start playing
Understand It’s Entertainment

- Don’t let virtual wins create unrealistic expectations about real gambling
Optional Purchases
- Set a budget for any phantom coin purchases
- Remember you’re buying entertainment, not an investment
- Never spend more than you can afford on virtual goods
