Responsible Gaming Information

Last updated: February 2026

1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At ZenVora Club, we are dedicated to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that gaming should be enjoyable, entertaining, and conducted in a safe environment. Our platform is designed with features and resources to help users maintain control of their gaming habits.

Age Restriction

ZenVora Club is strictly for users aged 18 and over. By accessing and using our platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly collect information from or allow participation by individuals under the age of 18.

2. Recognising Problem Gaming Behaviour

It's important to be aware of the warning signs that gaming may be becoming a problem. Ask yourself these questions:

• Are you spending more time gaming than you planned?
• Do you find yourself thinking about gaming when you're doing other things?
• Have you neglected other activities, work, or relationships because of gaming?
• Do you game to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression?
• Have you tried to cut down on gaming but found it difficult?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop gaming?
• Have you lied to family members or others about how much time you spend gaming?
• Have you borrowed money or taken resources meant for other things to fund gaming?

3. Tips for Safe and Healthy Gaming

Follow these guidelines to ensure your gaming remains fun and doesn't interfere with your life:

1. Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you want to play and stick to that limit. Use timers or alarms if helpful.
2. Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen every 30-60 minutes. Stretch, walk around, and rest your eyes.
3. Maintain Balance: Gaming should be one of many activities you enjoy. Make time for exercise, social activities, work, and other hobbies.
4. Don't Use Gaming as an Escape: If you're feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, seek healthier coping strategies. Talk to friends, family, or a mental health professional.
5. Be Honest: Talk openly with friends and family about your gaming habits. Secrecy can be a warning sign of a problem.
6. Understand the Game: Remember that all outcomes are determined by chance. There's no strategy to guarantee wins.
7. Know When to Stop: If gaming is no longer fun or is causing problems in your life, it's time to stop or seek help.
8. Protect Children: Keep gaming platforms away from children and educate them about the importance of age restrictions.

4. Self-Assessment Tools

If you're concerned about your gaming habits, consider using self-assessment tools provided by gambling support organisations. These tools can help you evaluate whether your gaming behaviour might be problematic.

Questions to Consider:

• Has your gaming increased over time?
• Do you game for longer periods than you intended?
• Have you made unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gaming?
• Do you experience withdrawal symptoms (irritability, restlessness) when not gaming?
• Has gaming caused relationship, financial, or work-related problems?

5. Self-Exclusion and Taking a Break

If you need to take a break from gaming, you can easily manage your account:

• Clear Your Data: You can delete your saved game progress at any time by clicking "Reset balance" or clearing your browser's local storage.
• Block Access: Use website blocking tools or parental controls to prevent access to gaming sites.
• Seek Support: Contact the support organisations listed below for guidance on self-exclusion programmes.

9. Education and Awareness

Understanding how gaming works can help you make informed decisions:

• Gaming outcomes are based on random number generation and chance
• Each round is independent – previous results don't influence future outcomes
• There's no system or strategy that guarantees wins
• The entertainment value should be the primary reason for playing
