No money is ever at stake on the benches. Habits form all the same, so here is how the farm deals with them.
If gambling is harming you right now, ConnexOntario takes free calls on 1-866-531-2600, 24 hours a day, or you can chat online with the Responsible Gambling Council.
Social casino games borrow the look, the sound and the pacing of real gambling. Lavender Benchland is meant only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not aimed at anyone under 19. Your age is confirmed twice: first on the banner that welcomes you, then by a tick you must give when you create your account.
A free game can be tuned to feel generous, and it refills your tin for nothing. Real-money games do neither of those things. However kindly the balloon treats you, that says nothing about how you would fare with money at stake.

Lavender Benchland is a lavender farm for adults aged 19 or over. Every reel on the benches spins on virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. Walk every terrace and you will find no coin stall and no payment page, no prize of real-world value waits in the barn, and doing well on these reels does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
