Enjoying Play Responsibly

Play for Fun: Treat PlayGD Sweepstakes games as entertainment, not a way to escape reality or win income.
Budget Wisely: Set a spending limit for Gold Coins and stick to it. Utilize free play options whenever possible.
Manage Your Time: Don’t let gameplay consume excessive time. Take breaks and prioritize real-life responsibilities.

We provide several tools to help you monitor your gameplay:

Playing Time Reminders: Receive hourly notifications reminding you of your play duration and offering options to continue or end your session.

2. Setting Limits

Daily Purchase Limits: Pre-set a daily limit on Gold Coin purchases through our “Set Your Limits” feature.

3. Self-Exclusion Options

Taking a Break: Exclude yourself for a definite period (via “Set Your Limits”) or indefinitely (via email to support@playgdsweepstakes.com).
Account Closure: Permanently close your account by emailing Customer Support.
