Prevention of Underage Gambling
Ignition Casino requires all users to be 18 years of age or older. All users must confirm their age and certify that they are of legal age to gamble prior to opening an account. Ignition Casino actively monitors for underage accounts and uses a variety of tools to verify information. Ignition Casino never engages in advertising directed at minors.
Any accounts found to have been opened by an underage individual will be immediately disabled and any winnings forfeit. Misrepresenting your age to avoid age restrictions is considered fraud and is a serious offense.
In order to prevent underage individuals from accessing your account we recommend keeping your account number and password secret, not leaving your computer unattended when logged in to your account, and never sharing your credit card number or banking information with minors.
Parental Controls
If there are children under 18 years of age who have access to your computer, you may want to consider installing parental control software to prevent access to online gaming sites and other material, such as:
