Responsible Play Guidelines

Maintaining a healthy, balanced, and enjoyable gaming environment for all Canadian players.

Our Commitment to Player Well-being

Even though Nicholson Charters operates on a 100% free-to-play model using virtual coins with zero cash value, we firmly believe in fostering responsible gaming habits. Gaming should always remain a lighthearted, enjoyable form of entertainment.

Core Principles of Responsible Play

  • Entertainment Only: Treat online games as a fun pastime rather than a necessity or way to pass time excessively.
  • Set Session Limits: Balance your screen time with physical activity, work, and personal commitments. Take frequent breaks during gaming sessions.
  • Zero Real Money Risk: Nicholson Charters never allows real money deposits or gambling. Do not view free browser games as preparation for real money wagering.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Ask yourself the following questions periodically to monitor your gaming habits:

  • Do you spend more time gaming than you originally planned?
  • Do you play games when you feel stressed, anxious, or avoiding daily responsibilities?
  • Do you neglect meals, sleep, or family time to play online arcade games?
