Responsible Gaming
Social Casino Entertainment Only
This is a social casino intended for entertainment purposes only with no real money gambling!
Must be 19+ or older to play. All games use virtual currency for entertainment value only.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Silver Sands Point, we are committed to providing a safe and responsible social gaming environment. While our platform is designed purely for entertainment with no real money gambling, we recognize the importance of promoting healthy gaming habits and awareness about gambling-related risks.
We encourage all users to enjoy our social casino games responsibly and to be aware of the signs that may indicate problematic gaming behavior.

Healthy Gaming Practices
Even in a social casino environment, we encourage responsible gaming habits:
Set Time Limits
Decide how much time you want to spend gaming and stick to it. Take regular breaks.
Play for Fun
Remember that social casino games are for entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve problems.
Maintain Balance
Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, relationships, or other important activities.
Avoid Chasing Losses
If you're feeling frustrated, take a break. Social casino games should be enjoyable, not stressful.
Age Verification
Our platform is restricted to users who are 19+ years of age or older. We take age verification seriously and may request proof of age at any time. This requirement exists because:
- Social casino games simulate traditional gambling experiences
- Legal requirements mandate age restrictions for gambling-themed content
- We want to promote responsible gaming awareness among adults only
- Young people should be protected from gambling-themed entertainment
Warning Signs
While Silver Sands Point involves no real money, it's important to be aware of signs that might indicate problematic gaming behavior:
⚠️ Be Concerned If You:
- • Spend more time gaming than planned regularly
- • Feel anxious or irritable when not gaming
- • Neglect work, family, or personal responsibilities to play
- • Think about gaming constantly throughout the day
- • Use gaming to escape from problems or negative emotions
- • Lie to others about time spent gaming
- • Consider spending real money on similar gambling games
If you recognize these signs, consider taking a break from gaming and seek support if needed.
