Using Base Camp

Base Camp is our Responsible Play page. Everything on it works in your browser alone: the settings are stored on this device and nothing is sent to us. Here is what each tool is for.

Check-ins

Choose a check-in every 20, 35 or 50 minutes. When the time comes, after at least one round, a panel shows your session in plain numbers: minutes, rounds, ink staked, ink back and the difference. You can carry on or choose Stop for now, which rests the games for ten minutes and starts a fresh session afterwards.

Round caps

A cap of 40, 80 or 150 rounds counts for you. Five rounds before the cap you get a short notice, and at the cap the games rest for thirty minutes. That rest is firm: it cannot be lifted early.

Pauses

The Pause key in the header closes the six games on this device for 10 minutes, 2 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 14 days. A ten-minute pause can be lifted at Base Camp. Two hours or more is firm: you can make it longer, never shorter. Reading pages, your logbook and Base Camp stay open while the games rest.

Calm mode

Calm mode turns off reel flicker, wheel turns and dice tumbles, shows each result at once and adds a short gap of a second and a half between rounds. Some people find the games easier to put down this way.

When the tools are not enough

These tools only work on Carthoryn and only in this browser. If gambling or gaming is taking more of your time or money than you want, the free services at the foot of every page can help, starting with the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

18+ only. For entertainment only. Ink has no cash value.
