Responsible Play: keep it a game

Valdremor is for entertainment only. No real money is played and shards have no cash value, but the halls borrow the shapes of casino games, and those shapes can pull at time and attention. These tools work in this browser, cost nothing and take seconds to set.

Your tools

Set your limits

Settings follow your storage choice: with Accept they stay between visits, with Reject they last for this tab. A pause is always kept on this device.

Reality check

A full-screen check at the interval you choose, showing time, rounds, shards staked, shards back and the change. Choose Stop for now and the halls rest for 15 minutes.

Round cap per visit

The halls close after this many rounds in one visit. You get a warning five rounds before. A visit ends when you close the tab.

Shard floor per visit

The halls close when a visit is this many shards down. Shards are worth nothing, but practising a loss limit here is a useful habit anywhere.

Calm mode

No motion anywhere: reels, cards, dice and calls settle at once, and no glow marks an up round. Helpful if animations make it harder to stop.

Pause and cool-off

Close every hall on this device for 15 minutes, an hour, a day, three days, a week or 30 days. The Library, the Lore and these tools stay open. A pause of an hour or more cannot be ended early.

No pause is running.

A two-minute self-check

Nine statements about the last twelve months, covering games like these and any real-money gambling. Answer honestly; the score is worked out on this page and nothing is stored or sent.

  1. I play for longer than I meant to.
  2. I keep playing to get back what I lost in a session.
  3. I feel restless or irritable when I try to cut down.
  4. I play to escape problems or a low mood.
  5. I have hidden how much I play from people close to me.
  6. Play has got in the way of sleep, work, study or family.
  7. I have thought of games like these as practice for real-money gambling.
  8. I have gambled with real money more than I could afford to lose.
  9. Someone close to me has said my gaming or gambling worries them.

Signs worth noticing

  • Sessions keep running past the time you set.
  • You come back to win back what a session took.
  • Play is the first thing you reach for when you feel low, bored or stressed.
  • You hide how long you play, or feel guilty about it.
  • Sleep, work, study or time with people is being squeezed.
  • You start to see the halls as practice for real-money gambling.

Close the door on gambling

  • GAMSTOP: free self-exclusion from all UK-licensed online gambling sites and apps, for six months, one year or five years.
  • Gamban: an app for phones and computers that blocks gambling websites and apps.
  • Your bank: most UK banks and card providers let you block gambling payments in their app, often with a cooling-off period before the block can be removed.
  • On Valdremor: a pause of up to 30 days from the Pause button, which cannot be shortened once it is an hour or longer.

Under 18?
