Responsible Gaming

At ObsidianAffiliates Ltd, we believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and ensuring that our affiliate partners share this commitment.

While we operate as an affiliate program and not a gambling operator, we take our responsibility seriously and require all partners to promote our brands ethically and responsibly.

As an Obsidian Affiliates partner, you agree to:

• Never target minors: Do not advertise or promote gambling to anyone under 18 years of age
• Promote responsibly: Do not use misleading claims about winning odds or suggest gambling as a solution to financial problems
• Include responsible gambling messaging: Where possible, include responsible gambling resources in your promotional content
• Respect self-excluded players: Do not target individuals who have self-excluded from gambling
• Avoid aggressive marketing: Do not use pressure tactics or exploit vulnerable individuals
• Comply with advertising standards: Follow all applicable advertising regulations and guidelines

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It's important to recognize the warning signs:

If you choose to gamble, here are some tips to help you stay in control:

• Set a budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Set time limits: Decide how long you will play before you start
• Don't chase losses: Accept losses as part of the game
• Take breaks: Step away regularly to maintain perspective
• Don't gamble under the influence: Avoid gambling when drinking or using substances
• Balance gambling with other activities: Keep gambling as one of many leisure activities
• Use responsible gambling tools: Take advantage of deposit limits, loss limits, and self-exclusion options

All of our partner brands offer self-exclusion options that allow players to take a break from gambling. If you feel you need to stop gambling, we encourage you to:

• Contact the customer support of any gambling site you use to request self-exclusion
• Use national self-exclusion schemes such as GAMSTOP (UK) or similar programs in your country
• Consider using blocking software to restrict access to gambling sites

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, help is available. The following organizations provide free, confidential support:

Gambling is strictly for adults. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and require all affiliate partners to:

• Never knowingly promote gambling to minors
• Avoid using imagery, language, or themes that appeal to children
• Support age verification measures
• Report any suspected underage gambling to the relevant operator

Parents and guardians can use filtering software to help prevent minors from accessing gambling sites. Recommended tools include:

• Net Nanny
• CyberPatrol
• GamBlock
