6. Support & Assistance

If gaming is negatively affecting your well-being or finances, these independent organizations may offer support:

• Gaming Addicts Anonymous (GAA): A community providing support for individuals managing gaming-related concerns.
• Financial Counseling Association of America (FCAA): Offers financial counseling, including debt management services.
• National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC): Provides financial guidance and budgeting assistance.

Note: Captain Cooks Cruises is not affiliated with these organizations.

7. Educational Resources

a. Understanding Gameplay

• Randomness: Game results are based on chance and are not influenced by previous outcomes.
• Independent Results: Each game session is separate, with no predictable patterns.

b. Common Myths About Gaming

• Believing “a big win is coming” is incorrect. Each game session is independent.
• Superstitions do not affect game outcomes. Luck-based items or rituals do not impact results.
• Extended play does not increase chances of winning. Each session has equal odds.

c. Tips for Healthy Play

• Avoid gaming when feeling emotional, stressed, or fatigued.
• Take breaks regularly to maintain balance.
• Do not play while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Treat gaming as one form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
• Make optional purchases only if they fit within your budget.
• Set time limits to ensure responsible play.
• Remember that gaming outcomes are random and not influenced by past results.
• Ensure that gaming does not interfere with work, relationships, or daily life.

d. Player Protection Considerations

We advise against gameplay if you:

• Have a history of addiction or dependency.
• Are under the influence of substances that affect judgment.
• Are facing financial difficulties or personal stress.
• Do not fully understand how the games operate.
• Have any mental health concerns or cognitive impairments.

e. Protecting Minors

We enforce strict age verification processes to prevent underage access. If you share your devices with minors, we recommend using parental control software to restrict their access to our platform.
