CedarChoice is a free social platform, but we know that some people find repetitive digital experiences difficult to step away from. This page is here for you and the people you care about.
CedarChoice is a free social entertainment platform. There is no real money involved at any stage. Virtual credits are points with no monetary value — they cannot be cashed out, exchanged, or transferred. The visual format resembles traditional arcade machines because that is the aesthetic the platform is built around. It does not mean that anything financially meaningful is happening during play.
Even without financial stakes, repetitive digital stimulation can become habit-forming for some people. The brain does not always distinguish between the excitement of a virtual win and a real one. That is why we take responsible-play principles seriously, even on a platform where no money changes hands.
CedarChoice is designed for adults aged 18 and over. Our age gate at entry is a technical requirement, not a formality. If you are under 18, please close this site. Parents and guardians should be aware of the content their children access online and use parental controls where appropriate.
Social entertainment should add to your day, not dominate it. CedarChoice is designed to be a short, enjoyable break — a few minutes of the Super Play Meter, a moment of visual reward, then back to the rest of life. If you find yourself planning your day around play sessions, or if you are feeling irritable when you cannot access the platform, those are signs worth noticing.
We have built the RESET button to be immediate and frictionless deliberately: there is no score to protect, no accumulated value to lose. Close the tab, reset next time, carry on. That ease is a feature.
This is the clearest signal there is. Entertainment that is not enjoyable has stopped being entertainment. CedarChoice does not hold your progress, your credits, or anything that would make leaving feel costly. If the experience is no longer pleasant, stop. You can come back later, or not at all — neither choice has consequences.
If any of these resonate with you, please talk to someone. These patterns are not a character flaw — they are responses that many people experience, and support is available.
No right or wrong answers — just honest ones. If several of those made you pause, consider talking to one of the organisations listed below.
The first step is to close the browser. The second is to tell someone you trust. The third is to reach out to one of the free support organisations below — all of them serve Canada, all of them are confidential, and none of them will judge you for asking for help.
If you have concerns about your use of this platform specifically, you are also welcome to email us at [email protected]. We will do our best to respond helpfully, but we are not a clinical support service — for that, please use the organisations below.
Sometimes it is easier to recognise the pattern in someone else before they see it themselves. Gamblers Anonymous Canada offers resources specifically for families and friends of people experiencing compulsive play. Approaching the conversation with curiosity rather than judgement makes it more likely the person will feel safe enough to listen. You do not have to have the answer — pointing them toward a helpline is enough.
