Responsible Gaming

Only Match is a game of chance. Treat every cluster that way.

Important Notice

Only Match keeps clusters dropping in a rhythm that can quietly stretch a short session into a long one. Gambling can be addictive. If matching symbols starts to feel like a chase rather than a pastime, pause and reach out. Free, confidential help is always available.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Pick the amount you'll spend before the first cluster lands and stop there.

Set Time Limits

Cascades blur the clock. Set a session length and stick with it.

Never Chase Losses

A run of dead drops isn't a debt. Betting up to recover it rarely pays.

Take Breaks

Step back between sessions to keep the game in its place.
