Tap for the thrill, not to escape it
Each tap in Tappy Bird rides on timing and luck, and quick rounds can drain a balance before you notice. If the game has started to cost you more than you planned — in cash or in calm — please get help now. Someone's available 24/7.
Set aside only what you can lose, and once it's tapped out, stop.
Fast rounds add up fast. Give yourself a time limit.
A crash isn't owed back to you. Don't tap harder to recover it.
Lift your finger off the screen regularly and breathe.
