Various skill and casino games played for a virtual currency (“Twists”) are available on GameTwist. Frequent gaming – even for a virtual currency – can turn into problematic or compulsive gaming. It is important to know the symptoms to react accordingly in case of suspected gaming addiction.
Below is a simple test you can do yourself to determine whether you have a problem with gaming:
- Do you leave your family alone for long periods of time to play games?
- Do you spend more time with gaming than you had planned or intended to, and do you neglect other tasks or responsibilities?
- Do you often argue with your partner because you spend so much time playing games? Do you feel like you cannot reduce the gaming or stop altogether?
- Do you buy Twist packs with family money that is needed for rent/mortgage payments, education, medication, food, clothing or heating?
- Do you feel like you need to play to spend time with people who understand you?
- Do you constantly think about your next game when spending time with your family, at work or at social events?
- Do you try to play games at work even though this could cost you your job?
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, we recommend acting BEFORE you develop a gaming addiction.
