Our Commitment
Even though PohjaPlay involves no real money, we recognize that excessive gaming of any kind can become unhealthy. We are committed to promoting responsible entertainment habits and providing clear information about maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming.
PohjaPlay is designed to be fun and social — not a compulsion. If you ever feel that gaming is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities, please take a break and consider speaking to someone.
Healthy Gaming Tools
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you'll play. Use your device's built-in screen time features to set daily limits for PohjaPlay. Regular breaks keep gaming enjoyable.
Know Your Patterns
Pay attention to how you feel while gaming. Playing for fun and relaxation is healthy; playing to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions can become problematic.
Protect Your Sleep
Avoid playing late into the night. Sleep is essential for mental health. Set a personal cut-off time and stick to it — your wellbeing is more important than any game.
Take a Break
If you feel frustrated, anxious, or compelled to keep playing, step away. Contact our support team if you'd like your account temporarily suspended. We will action this promptly and without judgment.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Even with free virtual games, compulsive play can still be a problem. Consider seeking support if you notice:
- Spending more time gaming than intended, regularly
- Feeling irritable or restless when not playing
- Gaming interfering with work, study, or relationships
- Using gaming to avoid dealing with real-life problems
- Feeling a strong urge to play regardless of other commitments
- Losing track of time while playing
