Responsible Play

Keep it a pastime

Layup League is social gaming only: no real-money wagering, no purchases, entertainment purposes only. Even so, any game can take more time than you meant to give it. These notes are here to help.

Adults only

You must be 18 or older to use Layup League. If you share a device with younger people, consider using a separate browser profile, and do not leave the game open where they can reach it.

What this site is

Five-Ply Peel uses free virtual coins. They cannot be bought, cannot be exchanged for money or prizes, and reset whenever the page reloads. Playing here is not gambling, and doing well here does not mean you would do well at real-money gambling. The outcome of each spin is random; there is no pattern to learn and no system that beats it.

Taking a break

A few habits that keep play comfortable:

  • Decide how long you want to play before you start, and set a timer on your phone.
  • Stand up and step away every half hour or so, even if you are enjoying yourself.
  • Do not play to change your mood when you are stressed, low or tired.
  • Keep other plans in the day. A game should fit around your life, not the other way round.
  • If you find yourself thinking about the game when you are not playing, take a longer pause.

Signs it may be time to stop

Playing for longer than you planned, feeling restless when you cannot play, hiding how much time you spend, or letting play crowd out sleep, work or people you care about are all worth taking seriously. The same goes for being tempted to try real-money gambling because of how a free game went.

Getting support

If gaming or gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, talk to someone you trust and reach out to a qualified support service where you live. Your doctor or a local health service can point you to free, confidential help, and many regions have dedicated gambling support lines and counselling services.

You can also simply close this tab. There is no account to delete and nothing to cancel — Layup League keeps no record of you.
