Keep it fun
Cucarecu is free and for entertainment only, but any game can take up more time than you meant it to. These simple habits help:
- Decide how long you'll play before you start, and stop when the time is up.
- Take regular breaks, and don't play when you're tired, upset or stressed.
- Keep playing in balance with work, sleep, family and friends.
- Remember that winning in a free game says nothing about how you would do at real-money gambling.
Signs to look out for
- Playing for longer than you planned, again and again.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you can't play.
- Hiding how much time you spend playing.
- Thinking about moving on to real-money gambling to "win for real".
If any of these sound familiar, it may be a good time to take a break and talk to someone.
Take a break or restrict your account

- A break: we pause your account for a period you choose.
- A restriction: we limit your account, for example by switching off the daily bonus.
