Responsible play

Pier Parade is meant for relaxed, occasional play. This page sets out what we do, how to keep play enjoyable and where to get help in the UK.

What we do

Adults only. You must confirm you are 18 or older before you play.
Virtual coins only. There is no real-money gambling, no prizes of real-world value and no purchases.
No pressure to come back. There are no daily rewards, countdowns, reminders or notifications.
Plain rules. Each game explains how it pays, and every result is shown clearly.

Keep it fun

Decide how long you want to play before you start, and stop when the time is up.
Take breaks. Stand up, drink some water, do something else.
Play when you feel relaxed, not to escape stress or a bad mood.
Remember that coins are only for fun. They are worth nothing outside the game.
Stop if the games stop being enjoyable.

Signs of a problem

Games that look like gambling can be hard to put down for some people. Talk to someone if you notice that you:

think about gambling or gambling-style games a lot;
play for longer than you planned, or find it hard to stop;
feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down;
hide how much you play from family or friends;
gamble with real money elsewhere to chase a feeling;
let work, study, sleep or relationships suffer.

Note for parents

This site is for adults. The age question is a self-declaration, so it can't stop a determined child. Parental controls and content filters on your family's devices are the most reliable protection. Talk with your children about how gambling-style games work and why they are not harmless. If you find a minor using this site, let us know.
