Responsible Gaming – Play Safe at OkRummy Club

Age Verification (18+)

Strict Age Policy

OkRummy Club strictly enforces an 18+ age policy. Online gaming is restricted to adults only, and we take age verification seriously.

• All users must be at least 18 years old to register and play
• We verify age through identity document verification during registration
• Account creation by minors is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account closure
• Winnings from underage accounts will be forfeited
• Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children’s internet activity

Why 18+ Only?

Gaming involves financial transactions and requires mature decision-making skills. Minors lack the legal capacity to enter into such agreements and may not fully understand the risks involved.

Play Responsibly

Healthy Gaming Habits

Gaming should be entertainment, not a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. Follow these guidelines for responsible gaming:

Set Your Limits:

• Decide on a budget before you start playing
• Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
• Set time limits for your gaming sessions
• Never chase losses by depositing more money
• Take regular breaks during extended play sessions

Keep Gaming in Perspective:

• Rummy should be one of many leisure activities, not your only hobby
• Balance gaming with work, family, and social activities
• Never gamble when stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Don’t use gaming as an escape from personal problems

Financial Responsibility:

• Only use disposable income for gaming
• Never borrow money to gamble
• Don’t use credit cards for deposits if you’re unable to pay off the balance immediately
• Keep track of your deposits, withdrawals, and gaming activity

Self-Exclusion Options

We provide several tools to help you control your gaming activity:

Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account. Once set, these limits cannot be increased immediately, giving you time to reconsider.

• 24 hours
• 48 hours
• 7 days
• 30 days

During this period, you will not be able to access your account.

Self-Exclusion: If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• 5 years
• Permanent exclusion

How to Request Self-Exclusion:

1. Contact our support team at [email protected]
2. Specify your preferred exclusion period
3. Your account will be immediately suspended
4. All marketing communications will cease
5. Re-activation during the exclusion period will not be permitted
