Responsible Gambling
Fern Gaming is a social casino. Our games use virtual coins and simulated gambling-style features. No real-money gambling, and virtual coins/prizes have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or converted to money.
Play responsibly
- 18+ only: our services are intended for adults. Keep your login details private and use device/app-store parental controls where available.
- Set a budget and time limit before you play; avoid chasing losses (even with virtual coins).
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing when upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
- Remember outcomes are random where applicable; no strategy can guarantee results.
Recognising harm
Simulated gambling-style play can still feel compulsive. Warning signs may include: spending more time or money than intended on in-app purchases, hiding play, neglecting work/relationships, irritability when not playing, or using play to escape problems.
Tools: limits, breaks, self-exclusion
- Limit-setting: set personal limits for time and spend (including in-app purchases) on your device or app store.
- Cooling-off: take a short break by uninstalling, logging out, or disabling notifications.
- Self-exclusion/account closure: contact us and we will help restrict access or close your account.
Request help: email contact@ferngaming.com or call +64 27 584 9136. Please include your account email/username and the action you want (limits, time-out, self-exclusion, or closure).
