Fly light, land on time

No money rides on these balloons, though habits form regardless, so here is how Hobbin handles them.

If gambling is doing you harm right now, ring the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133, whatever the hour, or reach GamCare by online chat.

Why free balloons are still 18+

Social casino games copy the look, sound and pacing of real gambling. Hedgerow Balloons is meant only for adults over the legal gambling age and is not aimed at anyone under 18. Age is checked twice over: first on the greeting banner, then by the tick required to open an account.

Lines Hobbin will never cross

  • Offer or promote real-money gambling, anywhere on the lea.
  • Put up a prize with any real-world value.
  • Sell coins, or bolt in-app purchases onto the games.
  • Steer you to a gambling operator or affiliate.
  • Use countdowns or streaks to reel you back in.

A word from the pilot’s seat

Free play can be tuned to feel open-handed, and it tops up your balance for nothing. Real-money games do neither, so a good run on the lea predicts nothing about money at stake.

Signs the wind is turning

  • Staying aloft long past the landing you planned.
  • Turning prickly when you stop.
  • Spinning to drift away from a bad mood.
  • Sleep, work or friends are losing out to play.
  • You start wondering where a real-money version might be.

Keeping hold of the tether

  • Settle how long you will fly before take-off.
  • Fly without autoplay.
  • Touch down for regular breaks.
  • Clearing this site’s data starts everything afresh; blocking the site in your device settings grounds it for good.

18+

A free social casino on a hilltop lea. Not one spin here is real-money gambling.

Every pilot at Hedgerow Balloons must be an adult of 18 or over. Each balloon runs on virtual coins with no monetary value, and nobody can buy, sell, withdraw or exchange them. The lea has neither a coin booth nor a checkout, offers no prize of real-world value, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
