Great question Tiffany!

As a clinician, I would be very cautious and would want to explore how and why someone might be using theses games in a harm reduction way.  

Many years ago, I had a client who decided to abstain from drinking beer and drink "near beer" or dealcolized beer instead.  Upon reflection after a few weeks of doing this,  she found that she was drinking the "near beer" in the same amount, for the same reasons and in the same pattern that she had previously been drinking beer.  In essence, her pattern had not changed and she had merely repleced one for the other.  And while the replacement was not as problematic, it didn't help her get to the root of her concerns  and she was still drinking in order to try to avoid feeling her feelings.  She said to me "walks like a duck, quacks like a duck but doesn't give me what I need".  She noticed that she did not numb out like she would after drinking beer, nor was she dealing with the concerns that she wanted to numb out from.  

This analogy has proven helpful in my practice over the years, and would also apply to those who are playing the social casino games.

TL;DR - as clinicians, we need to check in with our clients as to how and why they are playing the social casino games.
