Essential Information - Required Reading
Dewthorn is exclusively and unequivocally designed for individuals who have attained the age of 18 years or greater. This age restriction is absolute, non-negotiable, and applies universally to all visitors regardless of geographic location or local age of majority laws. By accessing this platform, you certify under penalty of perjury that you meet this minimum age requirement and possess the legal capacity to use social casino entertainment services.
If you have not yet reached your eighteenth birthday, you are expressly prohibited from accessing, using, or attempting to use Dewthorn under any circumstances whatsoever. Parents, legal guardians, and educational institutions should implement appropriate monitoring and filtering measures to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted platforms such as Dewthorn.
It is imperative that users understand this fundamental fact: Dewthorn is categorically and unambiguously NOT a real-money gambling platform. We emphasize this point with maximum clarity because it represents the foundational principle upon which Dewthorn operates.
Dewthorn does not offer, facilitate, enable, or support gambling with real money under any circumstances. Every game available on our platform operates exclusively using virtual credits—digital tokens that possess absolutely zero monetary value in the real world. These virtual credits are not currency, not assets, not investments, and not anything remotely resembling money.
Virtual credits cannot be purchased with real money. Virtual credits cannot be sold for real money. Virtual credits cannot be exchanged, bartered, traded, or converted into anything possessing monetary value including but not limited to cash, goods, services, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or any other form of compensation. Virtual credits exist solely and exclusively within the Dewthorn platform as a gameplay mechanism.
Dewthorn does not accept deposits of real money. Dewthorn does not process real-money wagers or bets. Dewthorn does not offer withdrawals, payouts, cashouts, or redemptions of any kind. There is no payment system, no cashier function, no wallet feature, and no monetary transaction capability whatsoever.
Dewthorn exists for precisely one purpose: to provide entertainment and recreational enjoyment to adult users. Our games are designed to deliver leisure activity and amusement during free time. They are not designed to, intended to, or capable of generating income, providing investment returns, creating financial opportunities, or delivering any real-world benefits beyond simple enjoyment and relaxation.
Approach Dewthorn as you would approach any other form of passive entertainment media such as films, television programs, books, or music. It is a way to pass time pleasantly, not a productive activity or source of tangible value. Success within Dewthorn's games translates to no real-world advantages, benefits, or achievements of any kind.
The activities conducted on Dewthorn do not constitute gambling as defined by legal statutes and regulatory frameworks. Gambling, in its legal definition, requires three elements: consideration (something of value wagered), chance (random outcome), and prize (something of value won). While Dewthorn games incorporate chance elements, they lack the other two essential components—no consideration is wagered because virtual credits have no value, and no prize is awarded because virtual credits have no value.
Therefore, from both practical and legal perspectives, Dewthorn does not offer gambling. The games are simulations designed for entertainment value, mimicking the aesthetic and mechanical aspects of casino games while completely eliminating the financial element that defines actual gambling.
Although Dewthorn involves no financial risk, we nevertheless advocate strongly for responsible, balanced, and moderate usage patterns. We recommend implementing the following practices:
Establish personal time limits for gaming sessions and adhere to them consistently. Schedule regular breaks during extended sessions to rest your eyes and maintain perspective. Never permit gaming to interfere with or supersede important life responsibilities including employment, education, family obligations, social relationships, physical health, or mental wellbeing. Maintain constant awareness that Dewthorn is casual entertainment, not a serious pursuit worthy of excessive time investment or emotional attachment.
If you discover yourself unable to control usage duration, developing compulsive usage patterns, or experiencing difficulty disengaging from the platform, please consider stepping back from Dewthorn entirely and potentially seeking professional guidance or support.
