Responsible Play

FernArcade is committed to providing a safe and responsible entertainment environment. Our platform is a social arcade, not a real-money gambling service. We want your time here to be fun, relaxing, and managed.

1. No Real Money Involved

We must state this clearly: It is impossible to win or lose real money on FernArcade.

All our games use "Virtual Tokens" which are provided for free. These tokens have no monetary value, cannot be purchased, and cannot be redeemed for cash or prizes. Our service is purely for entertainment.

2. 18+ Only Platform

Access to FernArcade is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18. We use an age-gate to verify users are adults. This is a social platform intended for an adult audience.

3. Tips for Responsible Play

Even though there is no real money involved, it's always healthy to be mindful of your screen time and digital habits. We encourage our players to:

  • Play for Fun: Remember that this is just a game. The goal is entertainment, not to achieve a specific outcome.
  • Take Breaks: It's important to step away from the screen regularly. Stand up, stretch, and rest your eyes.
  • Balance Your Time: Ensure that playing games does not interfere with your daily responsibilities, work, or social life.
  • Protect Your Privacy: While we don't require registration, always be mindful of your privacy online.

4. Where to Get Help (NZ Resources)

If you feel that your digital habits (including social gaming) are negatively impacting your life, or if you are looking for general well-being support, several excellent resources are available in New Zealand.

These are general well-being and mental health resources, not specific gambling hotlines, as our service is not a gambling product.

  • Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand: Offers resources and information for looking after your mental well-being. Visit mentalhealth.org.nz
  • Health Navigator New Zealand: Provides trusted health information and self-care resources. Visit healthnavigator.org.nz
  • 1737 - Need to talk?: A free, 24/7 service. You can call or text 1737 to talk to a trained counsellor.
