Responsible Gaming

Merge sweets in Sugar Merge Up for fun, not to recover a sour loss

Important Notice

Sugar Merge Up is meant to entertain, nothing else. Real-money play can still turn sticky before you realize it. If the game starts to eat into your finances or your mood, reach out for help right away. Support answers at any hour, and you don't sort this out alone.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Pick the amount you can afford to lose before you start merging, then stop there.

Set Time Limits

One more merge turns into an hour fast, so set a timer and step away when it rings.

Never Chase Losses

A losing streak is part of the mix, so don't stack more bets to sweeten it.

Take Breaks

Come up for air between sessions to keep your thinking clear.
