Nothing staked in the cellar is money. Habits still set hard, like ink left on a roller, so here is how we deal with them.
Is gambling doing you harm right now? Ring the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133; someone picks up whatever the hour, and GamCare will talk it through with you online.
A social casino game wears the look, sound and rhythm of real gambling. That is why Typecase Cellar is meant solely for adults past the legal gambling age and is never pitched at under-18s. Your age is asked about twice: by the banner at the top of the steps, and again by a tick on the slip when you open an account.
Free games may be set up to feel open-handed, and this one refills your balance at no cost. A real-money game does neither of those things. A good run on Brevier’s stone says nothing about how you would get on with real money riding on it.
