Stay on an even keel
You cannot buy anything or win anything here, but habits still form. These are the tools we keep on deck.
Need help with gambling right now? The National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133 at any hour of the day, or you can talk online to GamCare. There is also advice from BeGambleAware.
Watch bell
Rings a quiet reminder after a set stretch of play and tells you how long you have been at the reels.
Go ashore for a while
Closes every game in this browser for the period you pick. Once started, it cannot be cut short.
Adults only, even for free
A social casino looks, sounds and moves like real gambling. That is why Tidewright Charts is meant for people aged 18 and over, and is never aimed at children. You confirm your age with a tick when you sign on.
Promises we keep
- No real-money gambling, no promotion of it and no links to gambling companies.
- Play Credits are never sold, and nothing else is either.
- No prize of any value, ever.
- No ticking clocks, no “don’t lose your streak” nudges, no messages pulling you back.
The plain truth
Here an empty purse refills for free. With real money it does not. Winning streaks in a free game are no guide to what would happen if money were on the line.
Warning lights
- Sessions running far past what you meant.
- Feeling on edge or short-tempered when you stop.
- Reaching for the games to get away from a feeling.
- Losing sleep, work time or time with people.
- Searching for a version you can play with money.
