Responsible Play (18+)

Play within limits

• Set a time limit and take regular breaks (use phone alarms or app timers).
• Set a spending limit you can afford to lose; never chase losses.
• Avoid playing when stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
• Keep play separate from paying bills, savings, and borrowing.

Time-out & self-exclusion (site options)

If you want to step away, you can:

• Time-out: log out and set a personal break (day/week/month) before returning.
• Self-exclude from our communications: use the unsubscribe link in emails or contact us to suppress marketing.
• Restrict access: use device-level controls or blocking tools (e.g., browser/app blockers) to limit gambling-related content.

To request communication suppression or account-related assistance, email contact@zestplayground.com.

Warning signs

• Spending more time/money than intended or hiding play from others.
• Chasing losses, borrowing money, or missing work/study/family commitments.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about play.
