Responsible Gambling

The Everest group of gaming destinations is committed to safe, enjoyable online entertainment. However, we recognize that a minority of casino players can develop unhealthy casino gambling habits. While problem gambling is not easily detected, we have implemented a number of measures to help address the problem:

* Our rigorous training program helps staff members identify signs of compulsive gambling and teaches them how to take appropriate action.
* We set reasonable table limits on all our casino games to minimize the adverse financial effects of compulsive casino gambling.
* We have sophisticated data analysis techniques to spot casino gaming behavior consistent with problem casino gambling.
* We have a policy to ban casino players who identify themselves as problem gamblers.

Thus, when casino players recognize they have a gambling problem and ask us for help, we will:
o Prevent them from re-entering the casino by closing their casino account, deleting their password and disabling their login name;
o Return any money for chips they have on hand;
o Mark their payment methods as void so they can't open a new casino account under another name;
o Remove their name from our mailing list and casino promotional database;
o Give them information about compulsive gambling assistance programs such as Gamblers Anonymous. (see list)

To keep online casino gaming a fun, entertaining form of recreation, we urge all of our casino players to:

* Establish what constitutes an acceptable loss before starting to play casino games for real money.
* Never wager with real money if:
o They are younger than the legal gambling age;
o It interferes with work or other responsibilities;
o They are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies;
o They are under the influence of alcohol or other substances;
o They are attempting to make up for prior gaming losses.
* Make sure casino gaming is something they want to do, rather than need to do.
* Stop playing when it stops being fun.

We strongly recommend that casino players who feel compelled to gamble seek professional help from any of the following organizations. If you need additional information, please contact our casino Player Support Team.
