ThamesBridgeHouse uses virtual coins only. No real money is involved. However, we recognise that any form of repetitive gaming can become problematic. If you have concerns about your gaming habits, please read the resources below.
Our Commitment
ThamesBridgeHouse is designed as a social entertainment platform, not a gambling service. We have implemented age verification, clear virtual-currency disclaimers, and links to support organisations because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every member.
Signs to Watch For
- Spending significantly more time gaming than intended
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not playing
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
- Using gaming as an escape from stress or problems
- Difficulty stopping or taking breaks
- Feeling a compulsion to keep playing despite wanting to stop
Self-Help Tips
- Set a daily time limit for gaming sessions
- Take regular breaks — step away for at least 10 minutes every hour
- Keep gaming a social activity rather than a solitary habit
- Talk to friends or family about how much time you spend gaming
- If in doubt, take a week off and notice how you feel
