Responsible Gaming

Play the campaign for fun, not to win back lost ground

Before You March In

WarAge Online is meant as a bit of tactical fun, and that's the line to hold. If the battles start costing you money or sleep you can't afford, call a ceasefire and reach out. Free and private support stands ready any hour.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Ration what you'll commit to the war chest, then stand down when it's spent.

Set Time Limits

Put a limit on each campaign so one more battle doesn't run past dawn.

Never Chase Losses

A lost skirmish isn't a debt to reclaim. Regroup and step away.

Take Breaks

Fall back and rest between engagements. A clear head fights smarter.
