How we see it
Engagement Weave is free, with nothing to buy, nothing to stake and nothing to win. Even so, any game can take up more time than intended, so we keep the Site simple, honest and easy to step away from.
Healthy habits
- Decide how long you'll play before starting, and stick to it.
- Take frequent breaks to stand, stretch and rest your eyes.
- Play to relax, not to escape worries or low mood.
- Keep games from crowding out sleep, work, study or people.
- Never treat free games as practice for gambling with money.
Signs to watch for
- Playing far longer than planned, or struggling to stop.
- Feeling restless or irritable when not playing.
- Hiding how much time you spend playing.
- Moving on to real-money gambling, or overspending elsewhere.
If any of these feel familiar, take a break and consider contacting one of the free services below.

Protecting under-18s
The Site is for adults only. Every visitor confirms they're 18+ on arrival, and account holders confirm their age and UK residence again. If children use your device, consider parental-control software and keep your sign-in details private. If you believe a child has an account, let us know and we'll close it.
