Last updated: January 15, 2025
1. Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At Kernexo, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring the safety and well-being of our customers. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
We provide various tools and resources to help you maintain control over your gambling activities and seek help if needed.
2. Age Verification and Legal Requirements
You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. We verify the age of all customers through multiple methods:

- Ongoing monitoring for underage gambling
We reserve the right to request additional verification at any time to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
