BetWhale Bookmaker – Underage Gaming Policy

At BetWhale Bookmaker, we are committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for our users. One of our primary objectives is to prevent underage individuals from participating in any form of gambling activities on our platform. This Underage Gaming Policy outlines our stringent measures and practices to ensure that our services are only accessible to individuals of legal gambling age.

Legal Requirements

BetWhale Bookmaker strictly adheres to all applicable laws and regulations related to underage gambling. In most jurisdictions, the legal age for participating in gambling activities is 18 years or older. It is the responsibility of users to be aware of and comply with the age restrictions and legal requirements in their respective jurisdictions.

Age Verification Process

Account Registration

During the account registration process, BetWhale Bookmaker employs a robust age verification system to ensure that only individuals of legal gambling age can create accounts on our platform. Users are required to provide accurate and verifiable information, including their date of birth, name, and address.

Document Verification

In addition to the information provided during registration, BetWhale Bookmaker may request users to undergo a document verification process. This may involve submitting government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, to confirm the user’s age and identity.

Ongoing Monitoring

BetWhale Bookmaker employs continuous monitoring mechanisms to identify any discrepancies or changes in user account information. If there is reason to believe that a user may be underage, additional age verification checks may be initiated.

Prevention Measures

Educational Campaigns

To raise awareness about the importance of responsible gaming and to deter underage individuals from participating in gambling activities, BetWhale Bookmaker conducts educational campaigns. These campaigns provide information on the legal gambling age, the potential risks of underage gambling, and resources for seeking help.
