Responsible Gaming

69GAMES a.s. fully recognizes its responsibility as a licensed operator of gambling activities. While gambling activities such as betting, lotteries, and casino games are a widespread social phenomenon, we are aware of the risk of addiction to the excitement and tension inherently associated with these activities.

The most reliable protection against the development of addiction is always a responsible approach from the player. Each user should engage in gaming based on their free and informed decision, while taking into account their financial capabilities.

We believe that gambling in moderation is no cause for concern. As a responsible company, we comply with all applicable local and international regulations and standards, including Act No. 186/2016 Coll., on Gambling. We offer players a wide range of tools to help them keep their gaming and betting under control.
