Responsible Gambling & Player Wellbeing

Moanahorizons.com provides simulated gambling-style games for entertainment. No real-money gambling is offered and no cash-out prizes are available.

Play safely

Play for fun, not to make money or “win back” losses.
Take regular breaks and avoid playing when stressed, tired, or using alcohol/drugs.
Keep play separate from work, study, and relationships.
Recommended for 18+ (or the applicable legal age in your location).

Limit-setting tips

Time limits: decide how long you’ll play and set an alarm.

Spend limits: set a monthly entertainment budget and stick to it.

Session rules: don’t chase; stop after a planned number of rounds.

Reality check: simulated outcomes are random; no strategy guarantees results.

Possible signs of a problem

Spending more time/money than intended.
Hiding play, lying about time spent, or feeling guilt.
Borrowing money, missing bills, or relationship conflict.
Feeling anxious, low, or unable to stop.

Cool-off & self-exclusion (how to pause or stop)

Open Settings → Player Wellbeing.
Select a Cool-off period (short break) or Self-exclusion (longer lockout).
Confirm to immediately restrict access for the selected period.
If you can’t access your account, email contact@moanahorizons.com from your registered email and ask for a cool-off/self-exclusion.

During self-exclusion we’ll aim to block play on the excluded account. If you create additional accounts, contact us so we can help restrict them too.
