Responsible Gambling Policy for Spike Casino casino

Gambling at an online casino is a recreational activity and should not be perceived as a means of earning a livelihood. We advocate for players who understand this and engage in gambling as a hobby and a form of entertainment.

Spike Casino casino has established a Responsible Gambling Policy (“Policy”) to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive gambling. We educate users about potential risks, legislative restrictions, the importance of preventing underage gambling, and the option of self-exclusion.

NOTICE OF POTENTIAL RISKS

By disseminating information about the Policy, we alert users to potential financial risks and the dangers of gambling addiction. We also provide strategies to prevent negative outcomes.

LEGISLATIVE RESTRICTIONS

Gambling is prohibited in certain countries. While we cannot control or restrict the actions of users in such jurisdictions, we urge players to adhere to the local, national, or international laws and regulations applicable in their place of stay and/or residence.

Please ensure that your gambling activities at the online casino do not violate any laws or regulations in your jurisdiction. Spike Casino casino will not provide legal advice or accept any responsibility or liability for your compliance or noncompliance with applicable regulations.

SAFEGUARDING AGAINST UNDERAGE GAMBLING

The Policy strictly prohibits underage individuals from utilizing the online casino's services. To enforce this, Spike Casino casino reserves the right to request proof of age from any user and may suspend an account until such proof is provided. In the event of a policy breach, the offending account will be locked and any accrued winnings will be forfeited.

To deter underage gambling, we implement the following measures:

• • Notification to new users during the registration process that the casino is not accessible to minors;
• • Focus of all advertising and promotional efforts on adults, as engaging anyone under 18 is against our ethics and the Policy.

While public internet access means we cannot completely prevent minors from visiting online casino sites, we urge all users to exercise due diligence in protecting minors from gambling-related harm. To this end, we require adherence to these mandatory precautions:

• • Vigilantly monitor minors' access to devices used for gaming on our site;
• • Implement parental control software to block minors from accessing inappropriate online material

SELF-EXCLUSION

1. Have you found yourself gambling at an online casino while at work or school?
2. Has your family's welfare been overlooked due to your gambling habits?
3. Have you ever been forced to sell valuables or borrow money to finance your gambling?
4. Have you ever depleted your entire financial resources due to gambling?
