This Responsible Gaming and Responsible Social Gameplay Policy applies to the promotion of Poly Casino through the Poly Casino Affiliate Program.
Bungie Softworks Limited manages the Poly Casino Affiliate Program only.

1. Responsible Promotion Standard
Affiliates must promote Poly Casino in a responsible, truthful, transparent, and socially responsible manner.

3. Required Responsible-Play Messaging
All Poly Casino promotions must include responsible-play and eligibility messaging where required.
The standard disclaimer is:
“No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. 21+. U.S. only. Terms apply. Play responsibly.”
Bungie Softworks Limited may require additional disclaimers, disclosures, age-gating, landing-page notices, sweepstakes rules, or responsible-play messaging at any time.
Affiliates must ensure that required disclaimers are clear, visible, easy to read, and not hidden in small text, low-contrast text, fast-moving video frames, collapsed captions, or hard-to-find locations.
4. Prohibited Marketing Claims
Affiliates must not create, publish, distribute, approve, or run any marketing content that:
- suggests that playing Poly Casino is a way to earn income, make money, solve financial problems, or achieve financial security;
- encourages users to chase losses, keep playing after losing, or spend beyond their means;
- presents gameplay as a substitute for employment, investment, savings, or financial planning;
- guarantees winnings, prizes, payouts, redemptions, or financial outcomes;
- implies that winning is likely, predictable, controllable, or based on skill where that would be misleading;
- suggests that purchases improve a user’s chance of winning a sweepstakes prize;
- suggests that a purchase is required to play;
- suggests that a purchase is required to win;
- suggests that Sweeps Coins can be purchased directly;
- suggests that Gold Coins can be redeemed for cash or prizes;
- misrepresents Poly Casino as a real-money gambling casino;
- uses fake winning claims, fake payout screenshots, fake testimonials, or misleading proof of results;
- uses false urgency, fake scarcity, misleading countdowns, or deceptive bonus claims;
- portrays irresponsible, excessive, or compulsive play as positive, humorous, aspirational, or socially desirable.
5. Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Individuals
Affiliates must not target, appeal to, or intentionally reach individuals under 21 years of age.
Affiliates must not use creative assets, language, characters, influencers, placements, themes, or media channels that are primarily attractive to minors.
Affiliates must not target vulnerable individuals, including people who may be experiencing financial hardship, addiction, emotional distress, impaired judgment, or other circumstances that may make irresponsible play more likely.
6. Traffic Targeting Requirements
Affiliates must use reasonable efforts to ensure that their targeting, audience settings, keywords, placements, landing pages, influencer content, email lists, SMS lists, push notification lists, and other promotional methods exclude:
- users under 21;
- users outside the United States;
- users in Restricted Jurisdictions;
- users who have not provided required marketing consent;
- users who should not receive promotional content under applicable law or platform rules.
Affiliates must not use VPN, proxy, cloaking, misleading geotargeting, or other methods designed to bypass geographic, age, compliance, platform, or eligibility restrictions.
7. Influencer, Creator, and Streamer Marketing
Influencers, creators, and streamers must follow this Policy when promoting Poly Casino.
All influencer, creator, and streamer promotions must be truthful, responsible, and clearly disclosed as promotional or sponsored content where required.
