In our unwavering commitment to fostering responsible gaming practices, this comprehensive policy outlines our robust measures to prevent and address underage gambling.

Importance of Age Verification
Sportsbook-betwhale.com recognizes the critical importance of adhering to legal age requirements for online gambling. These requirements vary across jurisdictions, and generally, users must be 18 years or older to participate in our gaming services. Age verification is a fundamental aspect of our commitment to responsible gaming, and we employ stringent measures to ensure compliance.
Age Verification Process
Registration
During the registration process, users are required to provide accurate personal information, including their date of birth. This information is crucial for verifying the user’s eligibility to engage in online gambling activities.
Document Verification
In cases where additional verification is deemed necessary, users may be asked to submit official documents, such as a government-issued ID or passport. These documents play a vital role in confirming the user’s identity and age.
Third-Party Age Verification Tools
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our age verification process, sportsbook-betwhale.com may utilize cutting-edge third-party age verification tools and services. These tools may harness public records and databases to cross-verify the information provided by users.
Prevention Measures
Account Suspension
If there is any suspicion or evidence of underage gambling, the user’s account may be suspended immediately, pending a thorough investigation. This precautionary measure ensures that no further gambling activities can take place until the age verification process is completed satisfactorily.
