Responsible Use

So-dev is committed to promoting responsible use of our digital services and protecting the welfare of our users. As an innovative digital solutions platform, we recognize our responsibility to provide information that encourages safe, informed decisions about our digital services.

1. Digital Services as Entertainment

Our digital services should always be treated as entertainment and recreation, never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. We strongly encourage all users to approach our services with clear understanding of the risks involved and to maintain realistic expectations about potential outcomes.

2. Setting Healthy Usage Limits

To maintain control over your digital service usage, we recommend following these essential guidelines:

Set a fixed budget and never exceed what you can afford to spend
Establish time limits for your sessions and stick to them
Never chase losses by increasing your spending or prolonging play
Avoid using our services when stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Ensure our services don't interfere with work, relationships, or other important activities

3. Recognizing Problem Usage Signs

Please take time to honestly assess your usage behavior by considering these important questions:

Do you frequently spend more time or money than you originally intended?
Do you feel pressure to hide your activities from family or friends?
Do you use our services as a way to escape problems or negative emotions?
Have you ever lied about your activities or the amount of money you've spent?

If you answered yes to any questions, you may be developing problematic usage habits and should seek help.
