As an Alpha release with a one-time purchase, Stadium presents minimal risks. There are no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions. Social risks are low due to the current focus on single-player AI, with no stranger chat. Compulsion-loop design is also low, with rewards tied to clear tournament progression rather than unpredictable mechanics.

Regulatory design checks · DSA — Not yet assessed·GDPR-K — Not yet assessed·ODDS — Assessed: meets criteria

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.
  • 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.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.

Parents ask…

Is Stadium safe for kids?

Ludograph gives Stadium a rating of 48/100, recommended for ages 7 and up. It delivers genuine benefits but carries design risks that deserve a close look.

What age is Stadium appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 7+ for Stadium, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play Stadium?

Our session recommendation for Stadium is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.
