Responsible Gaming
Joggix believes online games should provide entertainment, relaxation, and mental challenge—not stress, isolation, or disruption. This page offers principles, warning signs, practical tips, and official support resources for healthy, responsible play.
1. Why this page exists
Joggix involves no betting or cash prizes, but any digital activity, including casual gaming, can affect sleep, study, work, relationships, and emotional well-being when overused. Gaming can and should coexist with healthy habits.
2. Our commitment
- No betting or cash prizes: no deposits, financial awards, or economic benefits.
- No manipulative mechanics: no paid loot boxes, paid progression, or similar compulsive-use incentives.
- No fees or abusive advertising: our model is completely free.
- Appropriate content: games are recreational and suitable for ages 13 and older.
- Transparency: see our Legal Notice and Privacy Policy.
3. Healthy-use practices
3.1. Manage your time
- Take regular breaks every 30–45 minutes: stand, stretch, drink water, and rest your eyes.
- Use the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Set a time limit before playing and use an alarm if helpful.
- Avoid screens during the hour before bedtime.
3.2. Take care of your body
- Sit upright with the screen at eye level.
- Play in a well-lit room to reduce eye strain.
- Keep water nearby and drink during breaks.
- Stand and move during each break.
3.3. Take care of your mind
- Use games as a break, not an escape from problems.
- Protect time for family, friends, study, work, and exercise.
- Celebrate progress without demanding perfection; games are practice, not a contest against yourself.
4. Signs of unbalanced use
Review your habits if you often play much longer than intended; feel irritable or anxious when interrupted; neglect study, work, sleep, or relationships; experience effects on sleep, eating, focus, or productivity; hide how much you play; cannot cut back; feel guilty after long sessions but repeat them; replace in-person social contact with gaming; or receive concerned comments from family and friends.
Several signs do not necessarily indicate a disorder, but they are a good reason to speak with a mental-health professional.
5. For parents and guardians
- Agree on clear screen-time rules together.
- Learn about the games and occasionally play together.
- Create screen-free areas and times, such as meals and bedrooms at night.
- Keep an open dialogue and validate feelings.
- Model balanced screen use. iOS and Android include built-in Screen Time and Digital Wellbeing tools.
6. Users under age 13
Joggix is designed for users aged 13 and older. Younger children may play only with active adult supervision, limited time, and an appropriate setting.
7. Skill games and gambling
In a skill game, results mainly depend on the player’s decisions, strategy, memory, or reflexes. In gambling, results mainly depend on chance. Joggix does not offer gambling and never involves betting.
