Self-Exclusion

Version 2.0. – April 2026

I. Purpose and commitment

This Self-Exclusion Policy (the "Policy") explains how players can request and apply a self-exclusion on Crypto.Games, what self-exclusion does, and how the Company administers self-exclusion in line with its responsible gaming commitments and the applicable Curaçao licensing and regulatory framework (the "Applicable Framework").

Self-exclusion is intended to help players take a meaningful break from gambling. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed before the selected period ends.

II. Self-exclusion options

II.I. Available durations

Self-exclusion is available for the durations shown in your Account settings. As a standard offering, the Website provides the following minimum options:

  • one (1) year
  • three (3) years
  • five (5) years

Additional durations (including more extended and/or permanent options) may be made available from time to time to reflect product features and the Applicable Framework.

II.II. Who can self-exclude

Self-exclusion is a player-initiated tool. You may request self-exclusion only for your own Account.

When we receive a concern from a third party (e.g., a family member), we may request that the player contact us directly. Where we identify a credible risk of harm, we may apply proportionate protective measures (such as a time-out or restrictions) pending verification and assessment.

III. How to request and activate self-exclusion

III.I. Self-exclusion via Account settings (in-product)

If the self-exclusion feature is available in your Account settings, you can self-exclude as follows:

  1. Log in to your Account.
  2. Go to Your account > Settings.
  3. Select Self-Exclusion.
  4. Self-exclusion becomes effective once any required withdrawal of available funds has been completed and any applicable verification, security, compliance, and fraud-prevention checks have been satisfied. From that moment, you will be locked out from gameplay for the entire Exclusion Period.

Activation is intended to be immediate and will lock you out from gameplay for the entire Exclusion Period.

III.II. Self-exclusion via Customer Support (out-of-product)

If you cannot access the in-product tool, you can request self-exclusion by contacting [email protected] or via Live Chat and asking for "Self-Exclusion". We may require reasonable steps to confirm that you are the account holder before applying the restriction.

III.III. No reversal during the Exclusion Period

Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled or shortened once activated. Please choose a period that is appropriate for your situation.

IV. Effect of self-exclusion

IV.I. Gameplay, deposits and bonuses

During self-exclusion:

  • You will not be able to place bets, participate in games, or otherwise use the gambling functionality of the Website;
  • You will not be able to deposit funds;
  • You will not be eligible for bonuses, promotions, or rewards during the Exclusion Period; and
  • We will take reasonable measures to prevent you from circumventing the restriction (see Section 8).

If a self-exclusion request is made while you have an open game round or wager, the game must be completed. The relevant bet settlement will follow the applicable Game Rules. Still, you will not be able to continue gameplay after the restriction is activated.

IV.II.Communication

During self-exclusion, we may still send service-related communications that are necessary for account administration, security, compliance, or complaint handling. Marketing communications are handled as described in Section VI.II.

V. Funds, withdrawals and verification during self-exclusion

V.I. General rule

Withdrawals remain subject to the Terms of Service, including verification (KYC), AML/CFT, sanctions screening, fraud and security controls. We may need to complete checks before we can release funds.

V.II. Self-exclusion and withdrawals

Where you select a self-exclusion, as a standard approach, you will be required to withdraw any available funds before self-exclusion takes effect. Once withdrawals are completed (and any applicable verification, AML/CFT, sanctions, fraud, security, and other relevant checks are satisfied), self-exclusion becomes effective immediately and cannot be reversed.

V.III. Self-exclusion of 12 months or more

Self-exclusion does not change the nature of bonus balances or wagering requirements. Bonus funds and any winnings derived from them remain subject to the Bonus Terms (including wagering requirements, excluded games, and expiry rules). If amounts are not withdrawable under those rules, they will not become withdrawable solely because you self-excluded.

V.IV. Bonus funds and non-withdrawable balances

Self-exclusion does not change the nature of bonus balances or wagering requirements. Bonus funds and any winnings derived from them remain subject to the Bonus Terms (including wagering requirements, excluded games, and expiry rules). If amounts are not withdrawable under those rules, they will not become withdrawable solely because you self-excluded.

VI. Re-registration, workarounds and marketing controls

VI.I. Preventing re-registration and workarounds

During self-exclusion, we will take reasonable measures to prevent you from accessing the gambling functionality of the Website through workarounds, including by opening a new account. Measures may include checks against identifiers available to us (e.g., account details, verified identity information, payment instruments, blockchain wallet addresses, device identifiers, and IP/location patterns).

No prevention system is infallible. You remain responsible for not attempting to circumvent self-exclusion. Creating a new account during self-exclusion is a breach of the Terms and may result in closure and other actions permitted under the Terms and the Applicable Framework.

VI.II. Marketing suppression

We will take reasonable steps to stop sending direct marketing communications to a self-excluded player for the duration of the Exclusion Period, subject to applicable law and technical constraints.

VII. End of self-exclusion and reactivation

At the end of the Exclusion Period, the Account is not automatically reactivated unless the Website functionality explicitly provides otherwise. You may request reactivation through Customer Support.

For player protection, we may apply one or more of the following safeguards before reactivation:

  • confirmation that the Exclusion Period has fully elapsed;
  • a brief cooling-off period before reactivation (for example, 24 hours) which is consistent with the Applicable Framework;
  • completion of any required verification (KYC) and security checks;
  • assessment of whether additional limits or restrictions should be applied.

If you request reactivation, we may recommend setting deposit/time limits as a condition of reactivation where appropriate.

VIII. Company-initiated protective measures

We monitor for indicators of problematic or risky behaviour. If we identify reasonable concerns, Customer Support and/or Compliance may recommend or apply limits, a time-out, self-exclusion, and/or other proportionate measures to reduce harm and protect the player.

IX. Help and support

Crypto.Games Responsible Gaming Self-Assessment Questionnaire

1. Introduction and Purpose

In accordance with the regulatory requirements of the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), Crypto.Games provides this self-assessment tool to empower players to monitor and evaluate their gambling behavior.

We operate under the principle of Shared Responsibility: while the platform provides a secure environment and protective mechanisms, the maintenance of gaming as a form of personal entertainment depends on your active engagement with these tools.

A safe environment is a collaborative effort; we provide the safeguards, and we require you to use them to ensure your play remains within your personal and financial means.

2. Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Please review the following questions honestly. This checklist is based on the "Warning Signs" and "Practical Rules" defined in our Responsible Gaming Policy to help identify markers of risky behavior.

  • [ ] Do you find yourself needing to increase your deposit amounts or play for longer sessions to achieve the same level of excitement?
  • [ ] Have you ever hidden your gambling habits, or the actual amount you spend, from your family, friends, or colleagues?
  • [ ] Do you frequently use gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or loneliness?
  • [ ] After a losing session, do you feel an immediate and strong urge to "chase your losses" to get even?
  • [ ] Have you ever borrowed money, taken out loans, or sold personal assets to fund your gameplay?
  • [ ] Has your gambling caused financial difficulties or an inability to meet essential daily expenses (rent, bills, food)?
  • [ ] Do you find it difficult to stop playing or walk away once you have reached a limit you previously set?
  • [ ] Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you are not gambling or when you attempt to cut down?
  • [ ] Have you ever gambled until your last cent was gone, even if it was intended for other purposes?
  • [ ] Do you feel a sense of guilt, regret, or remorse immediately following a gaming session?
  • [ ] Have you neglected your work, education, or family responsibilities because of the time spent gaming?
  • [ ] Do you find it difficult to be honest with yourself about the time and money you are dedicating to the platform?

3. Interpreting Your Results

Answering "Yes" to even one of the questions above indicates that your gambling behavior may be entering a risky phase.

If you identified with multiple warning signs, we strongly recommend activating the protective tools provided on our platform immediately. To do so, navigate to: Account > Settings > Responsible Gaming.

4. Available Protective Tools & Limits

Crypto.Games provides the following internal mechanisms to help you manage your activity. Note that these tools apply to the entire platform and prevent the opening of "workaround" accounts. Once activated, these restrictions are non-reversible for the duration of the selected period.

Tool Description Duration
Time-Out (Cooling-off) Applies a short-term cooling-off period. During this period, you may still log in and withdraw your available funds(subject to applicable verification, security, and compliance checks), but you will not be able to make deposits, place wagers, or participate in games until the selected period expires. 1 to 30 days
Self-Exclusion A long-term block intended for serious breaks. The account cannot be reactivated under any circumstances until the period ends. 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years

Transparency Tools

As part of the Shared Responsibility mandate, players are expected to regularly audit their own activity. You can access the following data within the Account History tab:

  • Transaction History: Review all individual deposit and withdrawal amounts.
  • Wagers and Losses: Monitor your total win/loss ratio and betting volume.
  • Login History: Review session frequency and the duration of your stay on the platform to identify patterns of excessive play.

5. Practical Rules for Healthy Gaming

To maintain your gaming as a form of entertainment, adhere to these "Golden Rules":

  • Set a spending limit and strictly adhere to it, regardless of your wins or losses.
  • Do not chase losses; accept the loss as part of the entertainment cost and stop playing immediately.
  • Do not borrow money or use funds designated for essential living costs to fund your account.
  • Take regular breaks and never play when you are feeling stressed, depressed, or under the influence of substances.
