Responsible Gaming & Player Wellbeing
Your safety and wellbeing matter. While our platform uses virtual currency only, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing support when needed.
Understanding Social Casino Gaming
What is Social Casino Gaming?
Social casino gaming is entertainment that mimics traditional casino-style games but uses virtual currency instead of real money. These platforms are designed for fun and social interaction, not gambling. On almyrostwilight, our game uses virtual coins that have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or real-world prizes.
Important Distinctions
- Not Real Money Gambling: Our platform does not involve wagering or winning real money
- Cannot Win Money or Prizes: Virtual currency has zero monetary value and cannot be converted
- Virtual Coins Have No Monetary Value: All currency is for entertainment purposes only
- Entertainment Like Video Games: Similar to other free-to-play gaming experiences
Important Note: However, even entertainment gaming should be enjoyed responsibly and in moderation. If gaming begins to negatively impact your life, please seek support.

Warning Signs to Watch For
- Gaming interferes with work, school, or family duties
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gaming
- Neglecting relationships or social activities to game
- Thinking about gaming constantly when not playing

Critical Warning: If you have a history of gambling addiction, social casino games may not be appropriate for you, even though they don't involve real money. Please consult a professional before using this platform.
Understanding Virtual Currency
Free-to-Play Model
almyrostwilight operates on a completely free-to-play model. You receive virtual coins at no cost and can play our game without spending money. Virtual currency has no real-world value and is purely for entertainment.
Important: This platform does not offer any in-app purchases or paid features. All virtual currency is provided completely free. There are no costs, no payments, and no monetary transactions of any kind.
This is NOT Gambling
Unlike gambling, you cannot win money or anything of monetary value on our platform. There are no payouts, withdrawals, or cash prizes. Success in social casino games does not translate to success in real money gambling and should never be viewed as practice for gambling activities.
