Responsible Gaming Policy
Critical Advisory
Online gaming can be addictive and should only be engaged in for entertainment purposes. We strongly emphasize that gaming should never be considered a source of income or financial solution.
Essential Safety Guidelines
-
Establish Strict Time Boundaries
Implement and adhere to predetermined gaming sessions. Set non-negotiable time limits and use timer tools when available.
-
Financial Discipline
Losses must be accepted as a cost of entertainment. Under no circumstances attempt to recover losses through continued gaming.
-
Financial Responsibility
Gaming is strictly entertainment, not a financial instrument. Never utilize gaming as a means of generating income or addressing financial obligations.

- Exceeding predetermined time or financial limits consistently
- Prioritizing gaming over professional or familial obligations
