1. Our approach
Silica24 is free entertainment. No real money goes in or comes out, and there's nothing of value to win.
Even free games can take up more time than you planned. We've built in simple tools and made support easy to reach so it stays enjoyable.
2. Tools on hand
- Time on site: a timer at the bottom of every page shows how long you've been here.
- Take a break: ask Player Care to pause your account for as long as you like.
- Limit your account: ask us to restrict top-ups or log-ins.
- Close your account: do it yourself instantly from the dashboard.
3. Warning signs
- Playing longer than you meant to, or struggling to stop.
- Feeling on edge when you're not playing.
- Using games to escape worries or low mood.
- Gaming eating into sleep, work, study or time with others.
- Feeling tempted to move on to real-money gambling.
4. Keeping it healthy
- Set a time limit before you start and stick to it.
- Take regular breaks to stretch, rest your eyes and have a drink of water.
- Play because it's fun, not to change how you feel.
- Remember that winning at free games says nothing about real-money gambling.
5. Free, confidential support in the UK
