YONO Games is meant to be entertainment. Real-money play involves financial risk and, for some people, can become a problem. This page is one of the most important on our site.
The basics
- 18+ only. Never let a minor play on your account.
- Set a limit before you start, not after a losing session — decide your budget and stick to it.
- Never chase losses. A losing session is the cost of entertainment, not a debt to win back.
- Play only with money you can afford to lose — never with rent, bills, EMIs, savings or borrowed money.
- Take regular breaks and never play to escape stress, low mood or boredom.
Warning signs
Consider taking a break, or stopping, if you notice any of these:
- Playing with money meant for essentials
- Hiding your play or losses from family
- Borrowing to play, or depositing immediately after every loss
- Feeling restless or irritable when you are not playing
- Spending more time or money than you intended
Tools that help
Set deposit and time limits, take a cooling-off period, or self-exclude if you need to step away. If our app offers these controls, use them early — limits set in advance are far more effective than ones set after a loss.
