ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS IN THESE MINDFUL PLAY PRACTICES HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS DEFINED IN OUR TERMS OF USE.

6. Support Resources
If gameplay is affecting your mental well-being or financial stability, you may find support through the following independent organizations:

7. Educational Resources
a. Understanding Gameplay
- Randomness: Game results are determined by chance and are not influenced by past outcomes.
