Care on the trail
Responsible play
Bearing 21 is meant to be a pleasant way to pass some time. This page sets out the limits we keep and the ones we encourage you to set for yourself.
Entertainment purposes only. Field Strategists offers social gaming with virtual coins. There is no real-money wagering, coins cannot be bought, and nothing won here can be cashed out or exchanged for anything of value.
Age requirement
This site is for adults aged 18 and over. The same age line applies wherever you are, and it appears in the header and footer of every page. If you are under 18, please leave the site.
Social gaming only
Bearing 21 uses the rules and language of blackjack, but no money is ever at stake. Your balance exists only in the page you have open and resets whenever you reload it. Winning streaks here do not predict results anywhere else, and practising on this table does not make real-money gambling safer or more profitable.
Taking a break
Even free games can take up more time than intended. A few habits keep play in proportion:
- Decide before you start how long you want to play, and set a timer on your phone or computer.
- Stand up and step away after every half hour or so, even when the cards are running your way.
- Stop when play feels like a chore or a way of avoiding something, rather than a pleasure.
- Avoid playing when you are tired, upset or have been drinking.
- Keep other activities in your day, including time with people and time outdoors.
Because there are no accounts, there is nothing to cancel if you want a longer pause. Closing the tab ends your session completely.
Signs to notice
It may be time to reconsider how you play if you find yourself losing track of time regularly, thinking about the game when you would rather be doing something else, feeling irritable when you cannot play, or wanting to try real-money gambling to recover a feeling from the table. None of these make you a bad player; they are simply useful readings to act on.
Finding support
If gaming or gambling is affecting your wellbeing, finances or relationships, talking to someone helps. Your doctor or a local health service can point you to confidential support, and many regions have free helplines and counselling services for gambling-related concerns. A search for gambling support in your own country or region is a sensible place to start. If you feel at immediate risk, contact your local emergency services.
Protecting others
If you share a device with children or teenagers, consider using parental controls or a separate user profile so that this and similar sites stay out of reach. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to play, and we do not market to minors.
