Play safe
Keep it a game
tofuquark has no real money in it, but casino-style games can still pull at you. Here is what we do about that, a few things worth noticing, and where to find free help in New Zealand.
What we do on our side
- Nothing can be bought, so there is no way to spend money here.
- No daily streaks, countdowns, offers or messages asking you back.
- No sound and nothing flashing.
- The odds of every result are printed next to each game.
- An optional break reminder, set below.
- Access only for adults 20 and over.
Signs it is time to stop
- You keep playing past the point where it is fun.
- You reset coins again and again to chase a particular result.
- You lose track of time or skip things you meant to do.
- You start thinking about trying games like these with real money.
If any of that sounds familiar, close the tab for today. If it keeps happening, or if gambling elsewhere worries you, talk to someone. The services below are free, confidential and open to anyone, including friends and family.
