Responsible play
Free games should stay fun. Here's how to keep them that way, how to take a break, and where to get help.

Keep it a game
Proedent is free, and there's no money to win or lose here. Even so, any game can take up more time than you meant it to. These habits help keep it fun:
- Decide how long you'll play before you start, and stop when that time is up.
- Take a break at least every hour. Get up, have a drink, look at something else.
- Don't play when you're upset, stressed or tired, or to escape problems.
- Keep the rest of your life in balance: sleep, work, friends and family come first.
- Remember that free games are not practice for gambling. Winning coins here says nothing about how you'd do with real money.
Is it still fun?
Ask yourself honestly:
- Do you play for longer than you planned?
- Do you feel irritable when you can't play?
- Has playing free games made you want to gamble with real money?
- Are you hiding how much time you spend playing?
- Has anyone close to you said they're worried?
If you answered yes to any of these, it might be time for a break. The organisations below offer free, confidential support.
Take a break
We can pause your Proedent account for a period you choose (from 24 hours to 6 months), or restrict it, or close it for good. Use the form, or the contact form, and a person on our team will act on it. You can also delete your account yourself at any time from My account.

Keeping under-18s out
Proedent is for adults only. We ask every visitor to confirm they're 18 or over, and we ask for a date of birth at sign-up. If you share a device with children, please use the parental controls on your device or broadband to block sites like ours, and don't leave yourself signed in. If you think someone under 18 has an account, tell us through the contact form and we'll close it.
