Playing in balance

Orrery Hall's games cost nothing and pay nothing, but they are built on the same kinds of chance as real-money games. Time spent is real. This page covers the tools on the site, a short self-check and where to find support.

Reminders

A note appears every 30 minutes with your time, rounds and net change. Change it to 15 or 60 minutes, or switch it off, in the Logbook.

Round limits

Set a limit of 25 to 200 rounds for each session. When you reach it, the instruments stop taking stakes until you start a new session.

Shutters

Close every game on this device for an hour, a day, a week or 30 days. A break cannot be shortened once it starts.

No pressure

No daily rewards, streaks, countdowns, push notifications or emails. Stardust is never sold and there is nothing to unlock with money.

A short self-check

Think about the last few months, including any real-money gambling. Answer honestly; nothing is sent or saved.

Have you spent more time or money on gambling or gaming than you meant to?
Have you gone back another day to win back what you lost?
Have you felt restless or irritable when trying to cut down?
Has anyone close to you said your gambling or gaming worries them?
Have you played to escape problems or a low mood?

This is not a diagnosis. It is a prompt to notice patterns. For a fuller check, GamCare and the NHS have confidential tools and advice.
