Paf Focuses on Young People with Loss Limit Change
Mandatory loss limits stop players from losing more money. Paf has decided to lower the loss limit for everyone between the ages of 20 and 24. Young people of this age already have a lower loss limit at Paf and now it will be further reduced from €10,000 to €8000 per year.
“This is an important continuation of the responsible gaming direction we are striving towards at Paf. Now young customers can only play with us for amounts that are at a more sustainable level and within the framework of the customer segment that we have defined ourselves as the green segment,” Christer Fahlstedt, CEO of Paf, said.
Every year, Paf publishes a table showing how the profits and losses look for different customer segments. Over the years, the customer segments have been significantly affected after Paf introduced mandatory loss limits and lowered the maximum limits.
Loss limits are important
Paf customers can set their own lower limits, but cannot exceed the mandatory loss limits set by Paf. Paf’s loss limits apply to all our registered players and all game categories.
“We are not selling teddy bears, and we have a responsibility for the product we provide. As a gaming company, we can say no before a person has gambled away both house and home,” said Christer Fahlstedt.
Paf strives to be a leading gaming company when it comes to responsible gaming in the industry. Paf was the first international gaming company to introduce loss limits in 2018, and since then the maximum limits have been lowered several times.
“We need to be able to be sustainable in the long term. We believe that in a future highly regulated European market, you cannot lose more than €8,000 a year, which can be equivalent to an expensive leisure activity,” said Christer Fahlstedt.
Young people should be prioritised
Young people aged 18-24 are at a higher risk of developing problems with their gambling. Research on gambling problems and different risk groups generally indicates that young people are a risk group.
“We believe it is important to focus on young people and their gambling from a responsible gaming perspective. Together with our other responsible gaming measures, the loss limits are a good complement for better responsible gaming,” said Daniela Johansson, Deputy CEO & Chief Responsibility Officer at Paf.
The reduced loss limit for young people aged 20-24 has already been implemented on all of Paf gaming sites and markets.

Dream Play continues to grow its lineup with Hyper Gems, a space-themed slot designed around speed, rising tension, and escalating multipliers.
Set within a deep cosmic environment of glowing nebulae and radiant crystal symbols, the game delivers a sharp, modern visual style. The bottom control panel reflects Dream Play’s signature polish — a centered spin button, sleek metallic controls, and a clean layout that keeps attention firmly on momentum and gameplay.
Fast Base Game, Reactive Multiplier
The base game moves at a rapid pace thanks to avalanche mechanics, where winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into place seamlessly.
Multipliers in the base game apply on a per-spin basis.
If a multiplier lands and connects with a win during that same spin, the payout is instantly boosted. Miss the connection, and it resets — keeping each spin dynamic and unpredictable.
The experience feels fast, immediate, and full of energy.
Bonus Game — Where the Adrenaline Builds
The pace shifts dramatically in the Bonus Game.
Once triggered — or activated through the Buy Bonus option — the atmosphere intensifies. The background changes, colors grow bolder, and symbol connections trigger subtle grid shake effects that add impact to every win.
The biggest change comes with the multiplier behavior.
In the bonus round, the multiplier no longer resets. Instead, it accumulates with every spin, even when no win lands. Tension builds as the value climbs spin after spin, until a winning cascade finally connects and the entire payout is multiplied by the full accumulated total.
Several quiet spins can stack significant potential, only for one sudden cascade to unleash it all at once. This is where Hyper Gems delivers its core rush.
Pop-Ups, Sound & Visual Identity
Hyper Gems features distinct Big Win, Epic Win, and Mega Win pop-ups, each with unique animations and visual styling. Transitions are smooth, modern, and fast, designed to maintain momentum rather than disrupt it.
Every win feels lively and visually rewarding.
The soundtrack reinforces the pace with a driving, space-inspired rhythm that rises alongside multiplier growth and intensifies during cascades.
Combined with strong visual effects and subtle grid movement in the bonus round, Hyper Gems delivers a cohesive, high-energy experience.
With its avalanche gameplay, accumulating bonus multiplier, and maximum win potential of x1000, Hyper Gems stands out as a release focused on escalation, tension, and momentum.

Dream Play expands its portfolio with Hyper Gems, a space-themed slot built around speed, tension, and multiplier escalation.
Set against a deep cosmic backdrop filled with glowing nebulae and vibrant crystal symbols, the game delivers a sharp, modern presentation.
The bottom control panel follows Dream Play’s polished design approach — centered spin button, smooth metallic controls, clean layout — keeping the focus entirely on action and momentum.
Fast Base Game, Reactive Multiplier
The base game moves quickly thanks to avalanche mechanics — winning symbols disappear and new ones cascade into place without breaking the flow.
Here, the multiplier works per spin.
If it lands and a winning combination connects in that same spin, the payout is instantly amplified. If not, it resets — keeping the gameplay reactive and dynamic.
It’s fast. Immediate. Energetic.
Bonus Game — Where Adrenaline Builds
The real shift happens in the Bonus Game.
Once triggered — or accessed via Buy Bonus — the atmosphere intensifies. The background changes, colors become more aggressive, and during symbol connections the grid adds a subtle shake effect, reinforcing the impact of every hit.
Most importantly, the multiplier no longer resets.
Instead, it accumulates with every spin — even if no win lands. The tension builds. Spin after spin, the number grows. And when a winning combination finally connects, the entire payout is multiplied by the full accumulated value.
Several spins can quietly stack the multiplier — and then one cascade suddenly lands, amplifying the entire win in a single surge.
That is where Hyper Gems delivers its core adrenaline.
Pop-Ups, Sound & Visual Identity
Hyper Gems features distinct Big, Epic and Mega Win pop-ups, each with its own animation style and visual identity. The transitions are dynamic, modern, and fast — designed to enhance momentum rather than interrupt it.

The soundtrack supports the pace with a driving, space-inspired rhythm, rising alongside multiplier growth and intensifying during cascades.
Together with the visual effects and subtle grid shake in the bonus round, the game creates a cohesive, high-energy presentation.
With its avalanche engine, accumulating bonus multiplier and max win potential of x1000, Hyper Gems stands out as a release built around escalation and momentum.
