Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.17 | |

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
While generally low-risk, Bejeweled 2's 'Endless' mode and satisfying cascade effects could lead to extended play sessions for some individuals. However, the absence of monetization, social features, or harmful content significantly reduces overall risks.

- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
