Encouraging thoughtful and balanced participation within our Australian social community for adults.

Play Smart

Our Approach to Responsible Engagement

Coober Play is centred on communication and shared interests, not intensive use. We support members in keeping a comfortable balance and offer practical tools and guidance to help with that goal.

Account Controls

From your account area, you can manage notification preferences, set time reminders, and pause your activity whenever you feel it’s needed.

Community Guidelines

Our guidelines are intended to support a calm and respectful atmosphere, helping conversations remain welcoming and comfortable for all participants.

Self-Assessment Tools

Optional self-check questionnaires are available to help you reflect on how you use the platform and decide whether adjustments may be helpful.

Indicators of Balanced Platform Use

  1. Seeing online interaction as one of several leisure options rather than the main activity.
  2. Using personal time limits comfortably and consistently.
  3. Taking part in discussions for interest and connection, not due to pressure.
  4. Stepping away from the platform for longer periods without discomfort.
  5. Keeping up with everyday responsibilities and offline relationships.
