We believe that social gaming should be a fun and engaging activity, and we are dedicated to promoting responsible gaming practices among our users.
Our Commitment to Responsible Social Gaming
Arcticbearcasino recognizes the importance of responsible gaming and the potential risks associated with excessive or inappropriate gameplay. While our games do not involve real money or real-world winnings, we understand that social gaming should be enjoyed in moderation. We are committed to:

Entertainment-Only Policy
Arcticbearcasino is a social casino platform for entertainment purposes only. Our games use virtual credits or coins, which have no real-world value and cannot be exchanged for cash, prizes, or any form of monetary reward. There is no real money gambling on our website. All outcomes are determined by random number generators or game mechanics for entertainment, and no purchase is necessary to play.
Age Restrictions
To ensure a safe gaming environment, Arcticbearcasino is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has accessed our platform, please contact us immediately at support@arcticbearcasino.com so that we can take appropriate action.
Recognizing and Managing Social Gaming Risks
Understanding Social Gaming
Social casino gaming is intended to be a recreational activity. However, we recognize that excessive play, even without real money at stake, can impact daily life or well-being. We encourage all users to:
- Play for fun and entertainment, not as a means to escape problems or stress
- Set personal limits on time and virtual currency spent on the platform
- Take regular breaks and balance gaming with other activities
- Monitor their own gaming habits and seek help if they feel their gaming is becoming problematic
Signs of Problematic Social Gaming
While social casino games do not involve real money, problematic gaming behavior can still occur. Warning signs may include:
- Spending excessive time playing games at the expense of work, study, or relationships
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not playing
- Neglecting personal responsibilities or hobbies
- Attempting to hide gaming activity from friends or family
- Using gaming as a primary way to cope with negative emotions
Tools and Resources for Responsible Gaming
Self-Assessment
If you are concerned about your gaming habits, consider asking yourself the following questions:
- Do I spend more time playing than I intend?
- Have I tried to cut down on gaming without success?
- Do I neglect important responsibilities to play?
- Do I use gaming to escape from problems or negative feelings?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about my gaming?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you may wish to consider adjusting your gaming habits or seeking additional support.
