Keep it light.

Adults only

Brightside Club is for people aged 18 or over. If you share a device with a young person, keep your account private and use the device's parental controls.

Habits that help

• Decide how long you want to play before you start. The “time on site” counter in the footer keeps track for you.
• Take regular breaks: stand up, stretch, drink some water.
• Play because it's fun, never to escape stress, loneliness or a low mood.
• Don't let play squeeze out sleep, work, study, family or friends.
• Remember that results in free games don't predict how you'd do with real money.

Tools on this site

• Time on site counter in the footer of every page.
• Take a break or restrict your account: send us a message and tell us what you need.
• Delete your account yourself, any time, from the account page.
• Stop marketing emails: let us know and we'll switch them off.

Signs it may be a problem

• You give play more time or attention than you planned.
• You feel restless, irritable or low when you aren't playing.
• You hide how much you play, or it causes arguments.
• You notice yourself drifting from free games to real-money gambling you can't afford.
