Joyloop Inc., trading as PICKEM (the “Company”), complies with the International Social Games Association’s (“ISGA”) Best Practice Principles (the “Principles”) as well as all relevant consumer protection, competition, advertising, and privacy regulations.
Our pledge to our employees, our users, and the community is to make responsible social gaming an integral part of our daily operations. The ISGA’s Principles address, among other things, ratings and parental controls, virtual items and secondary markets, advertising, and privacy.
We are not a gambling service, we do not take or place illegal bets, and we do not recommend or encourage illegal gambling. Instead, we offer entertaining online social games and related game promotions which do not trigger the prohibitions imposed by state and federal gambling laws. Gambling, whether in-person or online, is not legal in all areas. If you seek information regarding any illegal activity, you must leave PICKEM immediately and shall not attempt to use the Services.
You agree not to use the Services if doing so would violate the laws of your state, province, or country. Please consult with your local authorities or legal advisors before participating in online gaming of any kind. It is your sole and absolute responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, and you assume all risk in using the Services. Nothing published on PICKEM shall be construed as legal advice on any issue. You assume all risk and responsibility for your use of the Services. We bear no responsibility for your use of the Services in connection with illegal gambling activities, and we do not condone illegal gambling. You understand and agree that the Services are for entertainment purposes only. We make no guarantee that the Services are legal in your jurisdiction.
The goal of this policy is to help you understand the potential risks associated with gameplay if you don’t remain in control, as well as ways you can help manage your own play. As such, we have implemented policies and safeguards which help you control your gameplay and we reserve the right to activate these measures unilaterally if we determine that they are necessary at our sole discretion.
