While generally low-risk, the game does feature microtransactions for expansions, which could lead to additional spending. The competitive nature might also introduce minor social comparison, but the absence of stranger chat mitigates significant social 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.
