Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Alderney Landing Online Market, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Cryptocurrency gambling, like all forms of gambling, should be viewed as entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling outcomes are determined by chance, and the house always maintains a mathematical edge.
Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set strict limits on time and money before you begin.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your province to use our platform. In Canada, while the legal age is generally 18, some provinces set it at 19. Please check your local provincial regulations.
We employ strict age verification procedures and prohibit access to anyone under the legal gambling age.
