Responsible Gaming
VM Werk is committed to providing a safe, healthy and enjoyable gaming environment for all players.
VM Werk is a Social Gaming Platform
No real money is wagered or won on VM Werk. Our games use virtual currency only, which has no real-world monetary value. This is not gambling.
Our Commitment
At VM Werk, player well-being is our top priority. While our platform does not involve real-money gambling, we recognise that some users may have a complicated relationship with gaming activities. We take this responsibility seriously and have built responsible gaming principles into the core of our platform.
Our Social Gaming Principles
- All games are completely free — no deposits, no real money wagering, no financial risk
- Virtual currency won in our games cannot be converted to cash or prizes
- We never facilitate or encourage real-money gambling
- Our platform is strictly for entertainment purposes
- We never allow minors (under 18) to use our services
- We provide tools to help players manage their gaming time
Healthy Gaming Habits
Even in a social, free-to-play environment, it is important to maintain a balanced approach to gaming. We encourage all players to:
- Set personal time limits for gaming sessions
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not a coping mechanism
- Take regular breaks during extended play sessions
- Maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities
- Never play if you feel upset, stressed or emotionally vulnerable
- Keep gaming enjoyable — stop if it stops being fun
