Player Security
Company take responsibility for the security of our players.

Fairness and the random nature of the products offered are monitored closely by independent organizations. Marketing communication is also geared towards player protection: Company promise only what players can receive in our transparent line.
Protection against gaming addiction
The majority of users who make sports bets, casino bets and other gaming offers play in moderation for entertainment. Certain habits and behaviour patterns (suchas shopping, playing sports, eating or consumption of alcohol) which are considered to be normal and not causing any concern can develop into addiction for some people and cause problems. In the same way, bets on sports and gambling can lead to problems for a small group of customers.
Clients with gaming addiction are prohibited from further participation in the gaming line-up. Subsequently the customers are provided with contacts of organizations where they can receive professional advice and support.
Self-responsibility is the most sustainable form of prevention
The basic principle promoted by Company is that the final decision and responsibility on whether to play or not, and how much money can be spent on the game should be assumed by the customer himself. Self-responsibility of the customer is therefore the most effective form of protection from addiction.
Company sees its responsibility in assisting the customers by providing transparent products, full information and keeping a clear line of conduct.
Protection of Minors
Company does not allow minors (persons under the age of 18) to participate in games and make bets. That’s why the confirmation of having reached the age of majority and the confirmation of date of birth are mandatory requirements during registration. Company considers the issue of minors taking part in games and betting very seriously. In order to offer the best possible protection of minors, Company also rely on the support of parents and caregivers. Please keep your data for account access in a safe place (user ID and password).
Furthermore, Company would recommend that you install filter software. This software will allow you to restrict the access to Internet resources inappropriate for children and teenagers.
Responsibility Towards Problems
Company offers a variety of games and bets which are forms of entertainment for the majority of customers. At the same time, the company takes responsibility for its customers by providing support and tools for maintenance of a secure and entertaining environment taking into account the associated risks.
The clients who have difficulty in assessing risks, recognizing their own limits or those who suffer from gambling addiction are not able to enjoy our product line-up responsibly and perceive it as a form of entertainment. Company takes responsibility for users with verified gaming addiction by blocking their access to its products for their own protection.
