Responsible Gaming

Promoting healthy mathematical challenge participation

Last updated: December 1, 2025

Our Commitment

North Number Games is dedicated to providing a safe and responsible environment for mathematical challenge enthusiasts. We believe that mathematical challenges should be an enjoyable and stimulating activity, not a source of harm or distress.

Player Well-being: Prioritizing the mental and emotional health of our community members
Community Safety: Creating a supportive environment for mathematical learning and growth
Age Protection: Strict 19+ verification and parental control information

Recognizing Healthy Limits

Mathematical challenges should complement your life, not control it. Watch for these signs that may indicate unhealthy participation patterns:

Time Management: Spending excessive time on challenges at the expense of work, studies, or relationships
Financial Awareness: Spending more on challenge entries than you can comfortably afford
Emotional Impact: Feeling stressed, anxious, or irritable when not participating in challenges
Priority Shift: Mathematical challenges becoming the main focus of your daily activities

Time Management Tools

We provide features to help you maintain healthy participation habits in mathematical challenges:

Session Timers: Set personal time limits for challenge participation
Break Reminders: Regular prompts to take breaks during extended sessions
Activity Reports: Monitor your challenge participation patterns and time investment

Financial Responsibility

Mathematical challenges should be affordable entertainment. We encourage responsible financial management:

Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on challenge entry fees
Reality Checks: Regular notifications about your spending and time investment
Transaction History: Complete transparency with detailed spending records

Self-Exclusion Options

If you feel you need a break from mathematical challenges, we offer several self-exclusion options:

Cool-off Periods: Temporary breaks from 24 hours to 6 weeks
Self-Exclusion: Longer breaks from 6 months to 5 years
Account Closure: Permanent termination of your mathematical challenges account
Note: Self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed early. Please consider your decision carefully.
