Not a single real dollar is at stake in the attic. Habits still take hold, though, so here is how Wimble handles them.
If gambling is harming you today, ConnexOntario answers free on 1-866-531-2600, 24 hours a day, or you can chat online with the Responsible Gambling Council.
Social casino games take on the look, sound and pacing of real gambling, so Windup Attic is meant only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not aimed at anyone under 19. Age gets checked twice: on the banner that welcomes you, and again by a tick you must give to open your account.
A free toy can be wound to feel generous, and it refills your thimble for nothing. Real-money games do neither. Doing well here says nothing about how you would get on with money at stake.

Windup Attic is a workshop for grown-ups aged 19 or over. Every wind-up toy runs on virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. Rummage through every parts drawer and you will turn up no coin shop and no payment page; Wimble hands out no prizes of real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
