Responsible Gaming

Set Limits

Even though Vornyros Sanctum involves no real money, it's important to maintain healthy boundaries:

• Time Limits: Set a specific amount of time for gaming sessions and stick to it
• Session Management: Take regular breaks during extended play
• Schedule Gaming: Plan your gaming time around other responsibilities and activities
• Use Alarms: Set reminders to help you stay aware of how long you've been playing

Maintain Balance

Gaming should be just one of many activities in a healthy, balanced lifestyle:

• Prioritise Responsibilities: Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, family, or personal obligations
• Social Connections: Maintain relationships outside of gaming communities
• Physical Activity: Balance screen time with regular exercise and outdoor activities
• Varied Interests: Engage in diverse hobbies and activities beyond gaming
• Quality Sleep: Don't let gaming disrupt your sleep schedule

Manage Spending

While Vornyros Sanctum is free-to-play with virtual currency only, we encourage responsible habits:

• Understand the Model: Remember that no real money is required or can be won
• Virtual Currency: Treat virtual currency as entertainment only, with no real-world value
• No Financial Risk: Our platform eliminates monetary gambling risks
• Entertainment Focus: Approach gaming as a form of leisure, not a financial activity

Information for Parents and Guardians

Why Age Verification Matters

While Vornyros Sanctum uses only virtual currency and does not involve real money, we maintain an 18+ age restriction because:

• Casino-style games, even in social/entertainment form, are designed for adult audiences
• We want to promote responsible attitudes toward gaming from the start
• It aligns with Australian regulations and best practices for online platforms
• Social casino gaming may normalize gambling behaviors in young people

Protecting Minors

Parents and guardians play a crucial role in preventing underage access to our platform. We recommend:

• Monitor Device Usage: Regularly check what websites and platforms children and teenagers are accessing
• Use Parental Controls: Enable parental control software on devices used by minors
• Educate About Risks: Talk to young people about the risks of gambling and casino-style gaming
• Set Clear Boundaries: Establish rules about appropriate online activities for different age groups
• Lead by Example: Model responsible gaming and online behavior
