Empire of the Jade Gods is a social game built for entertainment. It doesn't involve real money. You can't deposit funds, place real wagers, or withdraw anything. All points and in-game items exist only inside the game and hold zero real-world value. We made this so people could unwind — not to create pressure or compulsive habits.
There's no way to spend actual money inside the game. No premium currency, no paid upgrades, no hidden fees. The points you earn stay in the game. You can't convert them to cash, trade them for goods, or exchange them with other players for anything of value. That's by design.
Even free games can eat up more time than you'd like if you're not paying attention. That's why we built play-management tools directly into the game. Session timers pause the game after a set duration. Break reminders pop up at regular intervals. Daily play caps let you set a maximum number of minutes per day. We'd encourage every player to turn on at least one of these.
If you're playing longer than you planned to on a regular basis, feeling restless when you can't play, skipping other activities because of the game, or losing track of time during sessions — that's worth paying attention to. It doesn't mean anything is seriously wrong, but it's a good moment to step back and think about your habits.

This game is for players aged 18 and over. We verify age at signup and show an age gate on the website. If you're under 18, don't use this site. Parents — if you think a minor has created an account, email us at [email protected] and we'll remove it.
Session limits and cooldown tools weren't tacked on after launch. They were part of the first version. We review them regularly and actively look for ways to improve them. If you've got feedback on how we handle responsible play, write to us. We read everything that comes in.
