Playing Responsibly at Horseplay
Why This Page Exists
We run Horseplay, operated by Game Play Network, and we want your play to stay fun. For most people, a few credits on a slot is entertainment. For some, it stops being that.
This page explains the tools we give you, the signs worth watching for, and where to find free help. Read it before you need it. Our games are strictly for players aged 21 and over, and we verify age during registration. Underage play is not permitted under any circumstances.
Where to Get Free Help
If gambling stops feeling like a choice, confidential help is available around the clock. Call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700 for free, 24/7 support, or visit ncpgambling.org for chat, text and resources.
Thinking about money? Keep deposits modest. Our minimum is just $10, and no bonus, tournament or Get Back offer is worth spending more than you can afford to lose.
Tools You Can Switch On
Control should be simple, not buried. Inside your account settings you can set the limits below, and you can tighten them instantly whenever you like.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps how much you add per day, week or month. |
| Loss limit | Stops play once net losses hit your chosen ceiling. |
| Session limit | Ends a session after a set amount of time. |
| Reality check | Pops a reminder showing how long you've been playing. |
| Cooling-off | Locks your account for a short break, from a day up to several weeks. |
| Self-exclusion | Closes access for a longer fixed term when you need real distance. |
Loosening a limit takes effect after a cooling delay. Tightening one happens right away. Need a hand setting any of these? Reach our team through Live Chat or the Help Center.
A Quick Self-Check
Ask yourself these questions honestly. Do you gamble to escape stress or boredom? Have you tried to cut back and failed? Have you lied to family about your spending? Does a loss push you to bet more rather than stop?
A single yes is a nudge. Two or more is a signal to use a cooling-off period and talk to someone. There's no shame in stepping back, and the exit is always one click away.
Warning Signs Worth Noticing
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It creeps. Watch for these patterns in yourself or someone close to you.
- Chasing losses by depositing more to win it back.
- Playing longer than planned, again and again.
- Borrowing money or dipping into bills to fund play.
- Hiding how much time or money you spend.
- Feeling anxious, restless or low when you can't play.
- Letting work, sleep or relationships slide.
One of these might be nothing. Several together deserve a pause.
