Responsible play guide — AU

1. Quick overview

Responsible play means treating ZenithCore as a leisure hobby: set time and coin limits, play socially, and avoid chasing losses. The platform uses virtual coins and does not involve financial transactions.

2. Why responsible play matters

Even without real money, patterns of excessive play can harm wellbeing, sleep, finances indirectly, and relationships. Adopting clear habits reduces risk and preserves enjoyment.

3. Practical tips to manage play

• Set a weekly time budget and stick to it. Use phone timers or OS screen-time tools.
• Set coin limits per session — decide before playing how many virtual coins you'll use.
• Avoid "chasing" play — if a session goes poorly, pause and switch activity.
• Play socially: invite friends or use multiplayer modes rather than solo marathon sessions.
• Keep payment details off-device (the service does not use real-money wagering).

4. Tools & limits available

Use built-in and device tools to manage play:

• Device screen-time and Do Not Disturb schedules.
• Notification controls — mute game notifications during work or sleep hours.
• LocalStorage-based progress can be cleared to reset habits (Settings → Reset Progress).
