While we, as the developers of Aiko and the Wind Spirit, do not engage directly with players, responsible gambling is a cornerstone of our design philosophy. We build games that prioritise entertainment and fairness, not exploitation, and we partner with licensed operators who share our dedication to player protection.

Aiko and the Wind Spirit is designed with integrity at its core, adhering to the highest industry standards for fairness and transparency. We want you to understand exactly how our game works.

Recognise the Signs

Gambling should always be fun. If it stops being enjoyable or starts to cause problems, it's important to recognise the warning signs. If you experience any of the following, please seek help:

• Playing longer than planned
• Spending more money than you can afford
• Chasing losses, trying to win back money you've lost
• Lying to loved ones about time and money spent on gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed because of gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Becoming secretive about your gambling habits
• Feeling irritable or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling

Play Responsibly: Our Advice

To ensure your gaming experience remains positive and safe, consider the following advice:

• Set a budget before you play and stick to it. Only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Never gamble under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or when feeling emotional, stressed, or upset.
• Take regular breaks – at least 15 minutes every hour to stay refreshed, maintain perspective, and avoid prolonged sessions.
• Remember: gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape from reality.
• Never try to chase losses. Accept them as part of the game and stop playing when you've reached your limit.
• Set time limits for your gaming sessions and adhere to them strictly.
• Balance gambling with other enjoyable hobbies and activities in your life.
