Responsible Play

1. Our Commitment

Miri Styles is built on one rule: never charge a player. The games are free, the Style Coins are virtual, and no real money ever enters the district. We are committed to keeping play enjoyable, safe, and entirely pressure-free for every adult visitor (18+) in the United Kingdom.

• No real-money transactions — ever.
• 18+ only. Age verification is built into the site.
• Responsible play matters even when there is no financial risk.

Our Responsible Play lead is Sofia Brennan, who reviews play-safety practices quarterly and is the first point of contact for any wellbeing concern.

2. Setting Your Own Limits

Since no money is at stake, the most important limit in the district is time. We encourage every player to decide before they open the site how long a session will be — ten minutes, twenty, half an hour — and to stick to it.

A few questions worth asking yourself:

• Did I decide how long I'd play before I started?
• Am I still playing because it is fun, or because I feel like I should keep going?
• Have I thought about Style Coin balances when I'm away from the site?
• Have I missed something else (a meal, a conversation, a task) to keep playing?

Setting a phone timer before you start is a simple habit that makes it easy to step away with no friction.

3. Warning Signs to Watch For

These are not judgements — they are signals worth noticing:

• Regularly spending more time playing than you intended.
• Feeling irritable or restless when you are unable to play.
• Using play to cope with anxiety, low mood, or stress.
• Neglecting work, study, sleep, meals, or relationships in order to play.
• A growing interest in real-money gambling sites as an extension of social-casino play.
• Feeling that you need to win back virtual coins you have lost.

If any of these ring true, it is worth taking a break and, if helpful, talking to someone.

4. Where to Get Help

• GamCare — free counselling, information, and support for anyone affected by gambling harms.
• BeGambleAware — independent advice, self-assessment tools, and a national treatment directory.
• GAMSTOP — free UK self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to licensed gambling sites.

5. A Word from Miri

"The district is always here — open every day, free every day, no rush. Come in when you want a few minutes of fun. Step out whenever you like. There is nothing to prove and nowhere to be. The boutiques will wait." — Miri, Host of the Neon District
