7. Educational Resources

  1. Principles of Gameplay.

    1. Randomness: Winners of games are determined at random.

    2. Outcomes cannot be predicted by past results or outcomes.

  2. Common Misconceptions:

    1. Thinking "I'm due for a win" is a fallacy since all outcomes in games of chance are random and cannot be predicted.

    2. Believing that a lucky charm or pre-game ritual affects your chances of winning is a misconception, as these factors have no impact on the random outcomes of the games.

    3. Assuming that playing a game for a longer time increases your chances of winning is incorrect, as the probability of winning remains the same for each game round regardless of how much time is spent playing.

  3. Tips for Safe Gameplay:

    1. Avoid playing games when you are angry, sad, or otherwise emotional.

    2. Take frequent and regular breaks during gameplay sessions.

    3. Do not play games when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

    4. Online games are just one form of entertainment, and there are other options available.

    5. If you do make an optional purchase, make sure it is with money that you can afford to spend.

    6. Set a time for play.

    7. Understand how the games work and that the winners are random.

    8. Do not allow game playing to impact your employment, relationships, health, social obligations or other commitments.

  4. Protecting Players: We do not recommend playing if you:

    1. Have a history of addiction or dependency, or are currently undergoing treatment for such conditions.

    2. Are under the influence of substances that may impair your judgement.

    3. Are experiencing financial issues or stressful or traumatic life events.

    4. Do not understand the rules and gameplay mechanics of the games.

    5. Have any mental health issues (actual or suspected), mental impairments, or physical brain trauma.

    6. Protection of Minors: We have various systems, including age verification checks, in place to prevent underage gameplay. If you share your devices with minors, we recommend restricting their access to our platform using parental internet blocking and monitoring software.
