Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Acorn Productions, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting the wellbeing of our players.
Age Verification
All players must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use our platform.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of the following warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Hiding gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or emotional problems
- Experiencing anxiety or irritability when trying to cut back on gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or control gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.
