Introduction
Promotech N.V., registration number 165167, address: Dr. H. Fergusonweg 1, Curaçao (hereinafter – the “Company” or “we”), is committed to ensuring a secure, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all players using our online platform, available at http://fortunica.casino/ (hereinafter – the “Website”).
We acknowledge our responsibility to encourage
responsible gaming and to protect our customers from potential harm related to
gambling activities.
1.1.
Responsible gaming commitment
The
Company recognizes that gambling should remain an enjoyable and controlled form
of entertainment. Our Responsible Gaming framework is structured to prevent the
development of problematic gambling behavior and to equip players with
resources and tools that enable them to make well-informed choices regarding
their gaming activities.
1.2.
Age verification and protection of minors
The Company enforces a strict policy against
underage participation in gambling. We utilize advanced age verification
procedures to ensure that only individuals who have reached the legal gambling
age of eighteen (18+) years or older are permitted to use our services. Any
account identified as belonging to a person below the legal age will be subject
to immediate suspension.
1.3.
Self-exclusion and account limits
To support
responsible gaming, we provide players with the option to set deposit limits.
Additionally, players who feel they need a break from gambling can opt for
temporary or permanent self-exclusion, cooling off period. These measures help
ensure that gaming remains a recreational activity and not a compulsive
behavior.
1.4.
Monitoring and support for problem
gambling
The Company is dedicated to detecting
indicators of problem gambling through continuous monitoring of player activity
and behavioral analytics. Our customer support team is trained to identify
patterns consistent with gambling-related harm and to provide appropriate
assistance. Where necessary, players will be guided towards professional
support services and organizations specializing in the prevention and treatment
of gambling addiction.
1.5.
Fairness and transparency in gaming
The
Company guarantees that all gaming activities are conducted in a fair and
transparent manner by employing certified Random Number Generators (RNGs) and
regularly audited gaming systems. Our Terms and Conditions are presented in a
clear and accessible format to ensure players have full visibility into our
operational procedures and rules.
1.6.
Data protection and privacy
Protecting
customer data is a top priority. We comply with all applicable data protection
laws and implement secure measures to safeguard personal and financial
information.
1.7.
Encouraging responsible play
Our customer
support team is available 24/7 to assist with any responsible gaming concerns.
1.8.
Legal and regulatory compliance
As a
Curaçao-licensed operator, we adhere to all regulations set forth by the
Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). We continuously monitor and update our
policies, including responsible gaming policy, to ensure compliance with
industry best practices.
2.
Age verification
2.1.
To safeguard against underage gambling, the
Company implements stringent age verification measures:
·
Players must be at least eighteen (18) years of
age to register or participate in gaming activities. Age is verified through
the submission and confirmation of the player’s date of birth. For this
purpose, the Company requires a valid government-issued identification
document, such as a passport, national identity card, or driver’s license.
Additional documentation may be requested, including but not limited to a
recent photograph (selfie), proof of residential address, or verification
through reputable third-party databases.
·
If the verification process confirms that a
player is underage, or if the Company has reasonable grounds to suspect this,
the player’s account will be closed. With the exception of any funds frozen in
accordance with the Company’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy, deposits made
by the minor will be returned, and any winnings will be voided.
·
The Company maintains detailed records of all
age verification checks and their results, as required for regulatory
compliance.
·
To further mitigate the risk of underage
gambling, the Company advises adults to take precautionary measures when
sharing devices with minors, such as securing usernames, passwords, and payment
information. Players may also consider the use of third-party software
solutions designed to block access to gambling websites.

Self-Assessment
3.1.
The Company encourages players to regularly
evaluate their gambling behavior to ensure that their activities remain within
healthy and controlled limits.
For this purpose, we provide access to
self-assessment tools consisting of structured questionnaires designed to help
identify potential indicators of problem gambling. These tools enable players
to make informed decisions regarding their gaming activity.
3.2.
One widely recognized resource is the 20-Question Test developed
by Gamblers Anonymous, available at: https://gamblersanonymous.org/20-questions/.
If a player identifies signs of problematic
gambling through the use of these tools, the Company strongly encourages the
use of its Responsible Gaming measures, which may include a cooling-off period,
temporary account suspension, or self-exclusion.
4.
Behavioral monitoring
4.1.
The Company actively observes player activity
to identify potential indicators of problematic gambling, using a combination
of automated monitoring systems and manual review processes. This monitoring
may include, but is not limited to, the following:
·
Deposit and wagering patterns –
identifying sudden increases in deposit amounts or irregular betting behavior.
·
Session duration –
flagging extended, uninterrupted gaming sessions without adequate breaks.
·
Withdrawal reversals –
detecting repeated cancellations of withdrawal requests, which may signal
harmful gambling behavior.
·
Multiple payment methods –
monitoring changes in funding sources, particularly when used to circumvent
established limits.
·
Frequent changes to limits –
observing repeated adjustments to deposit or wagering limits.
·
Repeated use of Responsible
Gaming tools – tracking excessive reliance on cooling-off
periods, self-exclusions, or similar measures.
·
Customer communication
patterns – noting frequent contact with support
regarding financial difficulties, bonus requests, or gaming-related distress.
·
High expenditure by younger
players – applying enhanced monitoring to players
under the age of twenty-five (25) who engage in significant wagering activity.
4.2.
This list is not exhaustive, and the Company
reserves the right to monitor additional behavioral indicators to meet its
regulatory obligations.
4.3.
