Our Philosophy

At derrickfung.net, our mission is to provide a world-class entertainment experience. We are dedicated to creating a fun, safe, and secure environment for our players. While our platform offers free-to-play social casino games with no real money involved, we recognize that it is our responsibility to promote responsible gaming habits and provide resources for those who may need them. Our platform is a place for adults (19+) to relax, have fun, and enjoy a simulated casino experience without any financial risk.

We believe that social gaming should be a positive and enjoyable pastime. This page outlines our policies and the tools we provide to ensure our players maintain control and continue to enjoy our platform responsibly.

Understanding Social Casino Gaming

It is crucial to understand the distinction between social gaming and real money gambling. On derrickfung.net:

No Real Money is Used: You cannot deposit or wager real money. All gameplay uses virtual coins which are provided for free.
No Real Prizes Can Be Won: The virtual coins you accumulate have no monetary value. They cannot be cashed out, sold, or transferred for anything of value.
It's Purely for Entertainment: The purpose of our platform is to provide a fun and engaging simulation of casino games. Success on our platform does not in any way indicate or guarantee success in real money gambling.

Tips for Responsible Play

Even in a social gaming environment, it's important to maintain healthy habits. We encourage all our players to keep the following tips in mind:

Play for Fun: Remember that the primary goal is entertainment. Treat it as you would any other game or leisure activity.
Keep Track of Time: It can be easy to lose track of time when you're having fun. Set time limits for your gaming sessions and stick to them. Take regular breaks to stretch, rest your eyes, and engage in other activities.
Balance is Key: Ensure that social gaming does not interfere with your daily responsibilities, work, or social life. It should be one of many hobbies, not your only one.
Play with a Clear Mind: Avoid playing when you are tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. A clear mind leads to better decisions and a more enjoyable experience.
Understand the Game: Take the time to understand the rules and odds of the games you are playing. This knowledge enhances the entertainment value.

Player Protection Tools

We are committed to providing a safe environment. While we do not handle real money, we offer tools to help you manage your play:

Self-Assessment Questionnaire: If you are ever concerned about your gaming habits, ask yourself these questions:
- Are you spending more time playing than you intended?
- Have you neglected other hobbies or responsibilities because of gaming?
- Do you feel irritable or anxious when you cannot play?
- Has gaming stopped being fun?
If you answer "yes" to any of these, it may be a sign to take a break or seek further support.
Taking a Break (Self-Exclusion): If you feel you need to step away from the platform, you can request a "cool-off" period or self-exclusion. Please contact our support team at info@derrickfung.net, and we can temporarily or permanently deactivate your access to the platform.

Parental Controls

Our platform is strictly for users aged 19 and over. We employ an age-gate verification system upon entry. However, we also encourage parents to take an active role in preventing underage access. If you are a parent and share your computer with children, you can use filtering software to prevent them from accessing our site. Software such as Net Nanny, CyberPatrol, or GamBlock can help you control your children's access to online content.
