Responsible Gaming
At ReviewArena, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While all our games are for entertainment purposes only and involve no real money, we believe in encouraging healthy gaming habits for all our users.
Our Commitment
ReviewArena is dedicated to providing a safe, enjoyable gaming environment. We take our responsibility seriously by:
- Ensuring all games are clearly marked as entertainment only
- Requiring age verification for all users (18+)
- Providing information about healthy gaming practices
- Offering resources for those who may need support
- Maintaining transparent policies and practices
Entertainment Only
Important: All games on ReviewArena are demo versions for entertainment purposes only. No real money gambling or betting occurs on our platform. You cannot win actual money or prizes.
Healthy Gaming Guidelines
Set Time Limits
Gaming should be one of many leisure activities in your life, not the only one. We recommend:
- Setting specific time limits for gaming sessions
- Using alarms or timers to remind you when it's time to take a break
- Balancing gaming with other activities (exercise, socializing, hobbies)
- Avoiding marathon gaming sessions
Take Regular Breaks
Extended screen time can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and other health issues. Remember to:
- Take a 5-10 minute break every hour
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
- Stand up and stretch regularly
- Stay hydrated
Maintain Balance
Gaming should enhance your life, not replace other important activities:
- Prioritize work, studies, and personal responsibilities
- Maintain social connections in the real world
- Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours for adults)
- Engage in physical activity regularly
- Pursue other interests and hobbies
Recognize Warning Signs
Be aware of signs that gaming may be becoming problematic:
- Gaming interfering with work, school, or relationships
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gaming
- Losing track of time while gaming
- Neglecting personal hygiene or health
- Using gaming to escape problems or negative feelings
- Lying about the amount of time spent gaming
Tips for Parents and Guardians
While ReviewArena is strictly for users 18+, we recognize the importance of digital literacy and supervision:
- Monitor your household's internet usage
- Discuss online safety with younger family members
- Use parental controls and filtering software
- Set clear rules about screen time
- Encourage a variety of activities
Self-Assessment
Ask yourself these questions to evaluate your gaming habits:
- Do I game for longer than I intended?
- Have I tried unsuccessfully to cut down on gaming?
- Do I feel guilty about the time I spend gaming?
- Has gaming caused problems in my relationships or work?
- Do I use gaming to avoid dealing with problems?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, consider taking steps to modify your gaming habits.
