Welcome to the Responsible Gambling Policy of Questions. This document has been carefully prepared to outline our commitment to ensuring that gaming on our social casino platform is conducted in a safe, responsible, and transparent manner. Here at Questions, all gaming activities are conducted using virtual currency only, and no real money is involved. Our primary goal is to provide an entertaining, secure, and reliable environment where responsible gaming practices are promoted among all our players.

We fully recognize that, despite the absence of real cash transactions, some users may still experience difficulties or develop unhealthy gaming habits. Accordingly, this policy sets forth the safeguards and measures in place to protect all individuals who participate in our virtual gaming activities, particularly those who may be susceptible to problematic behaviors. We are committed to operating in compliance with applicable legal requirements and privacy regulations as defined under Federal and state law, including specific guidelines such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable. Our policy also emphasizes data security, transparency in our operations, and adherence to best practices regarding the collection and use of cookies and user data storage.

Protection of Vulnerable Players

At Questions, we are committed to safeguarding the well-being of all our players, particularly those who can be considered vulnerable. Vulnerable individuals may include, but are not limited to, persons experiencing emotional distress or individuals with a known predisposition to addictive behaviors. We have implemented a range of measures to ensure that these players are not encouraged into excessive gaming, including:

• Regular monitoring of user activity to identify any behavioral patterns that might indicate excessive engagement or potential harm.
• Providing on-screen prompts and reminders encouraging users to take breaks should they engage in lengthy gaming sessions.
• Establishing self-assessment tools and self-exclusion options to allow players to voluntarily limit their access to our platform, should they feel that gaming is becoming problematic.
• Proactively offering advice within the platform on how to engage in responsible gaming habits.

By adopting these measures, we strive to create an environment in which vulnerable players are supported and provided with practical avenues to manage their gaming activity effectively.

Prevention of Gaming Addiction

Responsible gaming is at the heart of our operations. We recognize that, while our platform offers games for entertainment using virtual money, there remains a potential risk for some players to develop compulsive gaming habits. To mitigate this, we have established a comprehensive approach aimed at identifying and preventing gaming addiction, including:

• Implementing robust systems that monitor playing patterns, which assist in detecting signs of problematic behavior early on.
• Enabling features such as setting time and session limits, with periodic notifications and reminders for breaks during prolonged gameplay.
• Providing clear information on the risks associated with excessive gaming and ensuring that all communications with users emphasize caution.
• Offering a range of self-exclusion options that allow players to voluntarily restrict their platform usage for defined periods or indefinitely.
• Guaranteeing that our customer support team is equipped with training and resources to guide players on steps they can take if they are at risk of developing problematic behavior.

We encourage players to monitor their own gaming behavior and seek help at the earliest signs of difficulty. Our platform is designed to be an entertaining outlet and not a source of financial strain or emotional distress.

Protection of Minors

The safety and protection of minors is a matter of utmost importance at Questions. We adhere to stringent policies and practices to ensure that access to our gaming platform is restricted exclusively to individuals who are of legal age. Our measures include:

• Strict age verification processes during user registration, ensuring that only players who meet the legal age requirements are granted access.
• Ongoing monitoring and, if necessary, the suspension of user accounts that demonstrate potential violations regarding age restrictions.
• Collaboration with regulatory bodies and independent organizations to continuously refine our age screening methods.
• Clear messaging within our platform that explicitly states that our services are intended solely for adult users, and that under no circumstances will we knowingly permit access to minors.

These protocols are enforced rigorously to uphold our commitment to the welfare of young individuals and to ensure that our social casino environment is both safe and responsible.

Fair Play and Transparency

At Questions, maintaining fairness and transparency in all aspects of our gaming operations is fundamental. Our commitment to fair play is reflected in every element of our platform, and we strive for total clarity regarding:

• Transparent communication of rules, terms, and conditions to all users, allowing informed decisions regarding their gaming behavior.
• Regular oversight and independent reviews that confirm our adherence to standards of honesty and fairness in gaming.

Our ongoing transparency initiatives are designed not only to inform players but also to instill confidence in the fairness of our gaming platform.

With this understanding, we are committed to maintaining transparency about the nature of the transactions and interactions within our virtual environment.
