Responsible Play

1. Keep it fun

Cruises Online is a free social casino made purely for entertainment. You can't spend or win money here - but even free casino-style games can take up more time than you intended. We want every visit to feel good.

2. Tips for healthy play

• Decide in advance how long you'll play, and set a timer.
• Take regular breaks - stand up, stretch and look away from the screen.
• Don't play when you're upset, stressed or tired.
• Keep balance in your life: games should never replace sleep, work, friends or family.
• Remember that coins have no value - and that results in free games don't predict real-money gambling.

3. Warning signs

It may be time for a break if you:

• play for longer than you planned, or find it hard to stop;
• feel irritable or anxious when you're not playing;
• hide how much you play from people close to you;
• feel the urge to move on to real-money gambling.

4. Breaks, restrictions and closing your account

Our Player Care team can help at any time:

• Take a break - we'll pause your account for a period you choose.
• Restrict your account - ask for limits on how you use the site.
• Close your account - delete it yourself in My account or ask us to.

5. Protecting young people

The site is for adults aged 18+ in the UK only. If you share a device with children, consider parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio, and never share your sign-in details.
