Though no money is ever at stake in the glasshouses, habits are real enough, and here is how we approach them.
If gambling is causing you harm at present, ConnexOntario can be telephoned free on 1-866-531-2600 at every hour of the day, or you may chat online with Responsible Gambling Council.
Social casino games share the appearance, sound and rhythm of real gambling. Fernbloom House is intended solely for adults above the legal gambling age and is not directed at anyone under 19. Age is confirmed on two occasions: first on the banner shown on arrival, then by a tick required when the account is created.
A free game may be configured to seem generous, and it restores your balance at no cost. Real-money games do neither of these things. Faring well in the glasshouses says nothing of how you would fare with money at stake.

Admission to Fernbloom House is limited to adults of 19 years or more. All play uses virtual coins of no monetary value, which can be neither bought nor sold, nor withdrawn, nor exchanged. The house keeps no coin shop and no payment page, awards no prizes of real-world value, and wishes to be clear that success in these games does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
