1. Keep it fun
Evergreen Notes is free to play with virtual coins — there's no money to win or lose. Even so, any game can take up more time than you meant it to. We want every visit to feel like a treat, not a habit.
Our promise: no purchases, no cash prizes, no pressure. Taking a break is always one click or one message away.
2. Simple habits that help
- Decide how long you'll play before you start, and set a timer.
- Take regular breaks — get up, stretch, have a drink of water.
- Don't play when you're upset, stressed, tired or have been drinking.
- Keep a balance with work, sleep, friends, family and other hobbies.
- Remember that results in free games don't predict anything about real-money gambling.
3. Signs play may be becoming a problem
- Playing for longer than you planned, again and again.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you can't play.
- Losing sleep, or missing work, study or time with people because of games.
- Hiding how much you play from others.
- Thinking about moving on to real-money gambling to “win for real”.
If any of these sound familiar, it's a good moment to take a break and talk to someone.

6. Protecting under-18s
Evergreen Notes is for adults aged 18 and over in the UK. We show an age check on your first visit and ask every new member to confirm their age. If you share a device with children, keep your log-in details private, log out after playing and consider parental-control software or your device's built-in family settings.
