gangesguild | Responsible Gaming and Digital Wellness

At gangesguild, we prioritize responsible gaming as an essential aspect of user experience and digital responsibility.

Our goal is to ensure you enjoy your time on our platform while staying mindful of healthy gaming habits. It's important to maintain a balanced approach to computer games to ensure a positive experience.

To support this, we promote responsible gaming practices and offer tools to help players manage their activity effectively.

1. STAY IN CONTROL

Gaming should remain a fun and engaging activity. Here are some tips to help you maintain a balanced approach:

• Treat gaming as a hobby, and remember to enjoy it in moderation rather than as a way to escape challenges.
• Keep track of your time: While we welcome you to explore our platform, ensure you maintain a balance with other activities in your life.
• Use the tools provided: Take breaks when needed and utilize the features available on our platform to manage your activity.
• Reflect on your habits: If you feel gaming is becoming excessive, consider the self-assessment tips provided in Section 3.

2. TAKE CONTROL

We encourage users to maintain responsible habits and provide features to help manage their gaming experience.

Account Management Options

If you feel the need to step back or reevaluate your habits, you can utilize self-management tools in your profile. Options include:

• Permanent exclusion: Choose to block access to your account indefinitely, ensuring uninterrupted breaks.
• Temporary time-outs: Select a specific duration for a break, after which access will be automatically restored.

These changes take immediate effect. If any issues arise during the exclusion period, please contact our support team for assistance.

3. SELF-ASSESSMENT

To help you evaluate your habits, consider these questions:

• Do you spend a lot of time thinking about gaming?
• Do you get irritated when interrupted during gameplay?
• Do you prioritize gaming over important commitments?
• Has gaming affected your relationships or daily routine?

If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, it may be time to reflect on your habits and seek advice from support organizations listed in Section 4.

4. SUPPORT RESOURCES

For guidance and support, we recommend contacting organizations like Computer Gaming Addicts Anonymous (CGAA) for advice on managing gaming habits.
