Responsible Play
Responsible play
Cashout Arcade is entertainment with virtual coins. Learn our age limit, spot signs that play is not fun any more, and find free, confidential help.
Cashout Arcade is a free-to-play game for adults aged 18 and over. Coins are virtual and have no cash value: you cannot win, withdraw or exchange real money or prizes. Even so, any game can start to take more time or attention than you want to give it, and that is worth noticing.
Our approach
- No real money. There is nothing to deposit or withdraw. Optional purchases buy virtual coins and extras only.
- Odds are published. Every game's return and biggest win is on the Odds page.
- Take a break whenever you want. The app has built-in break options in Settings, and you can delete your account at any time from the delete account page.
Signs it may be time to step back
- You play for longer than you planned, or lose track of time.
- You feel irritable or low when you are not playing, or when you lose coins.
- Games are crowding out sleep, work, study or people you care about.
- You spend money on coins that you would rather not have spent.
- You think about winning back lost coins.
If several of these sound familiar, take a break and talk to someone. Support is free and confidential, and you do not need to be in crisis to use it.
Cashout Arcade is a free-to-play casino-style app. It is not a treatment, and playing casino-style games is not recommended while you are recovering from gambling problems. The pages in this section are sourced summaries, not medical advice.
