Our Responsible Gaming Policies

Age Verification

No Real Money Gambling

SocialRoot is a social casino platform. Virtual coins have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real money or prizes. This ensures our platform remains entertainment-focused rather than gambling.

Responsible Marketing

Our marketing never targets minors, makes false promises about winning, suggests gaming is a solution to financial problems, or portrays excessive gaming in a positive light.

Staff Training

All SocialRoot employees receive training on responsible gaming practices, recognizing problem gaming behaviors, and how to assist users who may need help.

Partnerships

We work with responsible gaming organizations and support research into gaming behaviors to continuously improve our player protection measures.
