DISCLAIMER

Effective Date: October 31, 2025

This disclaimer contains essential information regarding the fundamental nature of Ghouloria Social Casino, the limitations of our services, and your responsibilities as a user. Careful review of this entire document is mandatory before engaging with our platform. Your access and use of Ghouloria signifies comprehensive understanding and unconditional acceptance of all provisions detailed herein.

Absolute Prohibition of Real-Money Gambling

Ghouloria is definitively not a real-money gambling platform under any interpretation or circumstance. We do not facilitate, enable, permit, or encourage gambling involving actual currency. Our platform operates exclusively using virtual credits that are computationally generated, have no monetary value, and exist only within the Ghouloria ecosystem for scoring and entertainment purposes.

You cannot deposit real money into Ghouloria. You cannot wager real money on any game or outcome within our platform. You cannot win real money, regardless of game performance or virtual credit accumulation. Virtual credits cannot be withdrawn, cashed out, sold, transferred to other users, or converted into anything of real-world value including but not limited to currency, goods, services, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or any other item with monetary worth. Any resemblance to real-money gambling is purely superficial and relates only to game mechanics and visual presentation, not actual financial transactions.

Strictly Entertainment-Only Purpose

Ghouloria exists exclusively to provide recreational entertainment during leisure time. Our games have no practical application, educational value, skill-building benefits, or purpose beyond immediate enjoyment. Virtual credits, achievements, leaderboard positions, and all other platform elements carry significance only within the narrow context of the Ghouloria environment and possess no external meaning or value whatsoever.

Success or failure within Ghouloria games is completely inconsequential to your real life, financial situation, social status, or any other aspect of actual existence. We design games to be engaging and stimulating, but we emphasize that these are entertainment products meant for temporary diversion, not serious pursuits worthy of significant emotional or time investment. If you find yourself attributing real importance to virtual outcomes or spending excessive time on our platform, we strongly encourage reassessment of your priorities and gaming habits.

Mandatory Age Restriction: 18 Years Minimum

Access to Ghouloria is absolutely restricted to individuals who have reached at least 18 years of age or attained the age of majority in their governing jurisdiction, whichever standard is higher. This age restriction is inflexible and non-negotiable regardless of parental consent, supervision, or any other mitigating factors. When you confirm your age during our verification process, you are making a legally binding representation that you satisfy this requirement.

We implement age verification measures designed to prevent minor access, but these systems ultimately rely on honest user input and cannot guarantee perfect accuracy. If you are below the minimum age requirement, you are expressly prohibited from accessing Ghouloria. Providing false age information constitutes a violation of our terms and may be subject to legal consequences. Parents and legal guardians bear primary responsibility for supervising their children's internet usage and preventing access to age-restricted content.

The age restriction exists because casino-style games, even in completely free-to-play social format without real money, are considered adult content due to their themes, mechanics, and potential to normalize gambling behaviors. We take our obligation to prevent youth access seriously and continuously evaluate our verification systems to enhance their effectiveness.

Comprehensive Warranty Disclaimers

Ghouloria is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties, guarantees, or representations of any kind. We make no promises regarding platform reliability, availability, performance quality, or suitability for any particular purpose. Our games may contain defects, bugs, glitches, or design flaws that impact functionality or user experience. The platform may experience downtime, lag, crashes, data loss, or complete service termination at any time.

We do not warrant that Ghouloria will meet your expectations, function identically across all devices and browsers, remain free from viruses or malicious code, or provide any specific level of entertainment value. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any platform content. Performance varies significantly based on user hardware, software configuration, internet connection quality, and numerous other factors beyond our control. Some users may experience optimal performance while others face technical difficulties - we make no guarantees either way.

Extensive Liability Limitations

To the maximum extent legally permissible in applicable jurisdictions, Ghouloria and its operators, affiliates, partners, licensors, and all associated parties shall bear no liability for any damages, losses, claims, or expenses arising from your platform use or inability to use the platform. This comprehensive liability exclusion encompasses all categories of damages including direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive, and special damages. It applies regardless of legal theory including negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, or any other basis.

We specifically disclaim liability for: time spent using the platform; technical problems affecting your devices or internet connection; frustration, disappointment, or emotional distress resulting from game outcomes or platform issues; misunderstandings about virtual credit nature or platform functionality; opportunity costs associated with choosing our entertainment over other activities; and any other losses or damages regardless of whether we could have reasonably foreseen them. Given that Ghouloria requires no payment and involves no real money, actual damages from platform use should be minimal, but we nevertheless expressly exclude all liability.

Responsible Gaming Expectations

While Ghouloria eliminates financial risk by excluding real money entirely, we acknowledge that any gaming activity can become problematic when pursued excessively or compulsively. We strongly advocate for balanced, moderate gaming practices. Establish and respect personal time limits for gaming sessions. Take frequent breaks to rest your eyes, move your body, and engage with the physical world. Ensure gaming remains one recreational activity among many, not a dominant focus of your life.

Do not allow gaming to interfere with work responsibilities, academic pursuits, interpersonal relationships, physical health, or other important life domains. If you notice gaming beginning to negatively impact any aspect of your life, or if you find yourself unable to control your gaming habits, we urge you to seek support. Resources are available through the organizations linked in our footer, including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These respected organizations provide confidential assistance for anyone concerned about gaming or gambling behavior.

Even though Ghouloria involves no financial risk, behavioral patterns developed through social casino gaming could theoretically influence future interactions with real-money gambling. If you have a history of gambling problems or predisposition to addictive behaviors, carefully consider whether social casino gaming is appropriate for you. When in doubt, consult with qualified professionals who can provide personalized guidance.

Absence of Professional Services

Ghouloria is an entertainment platform exclusively. Nothing on our site constitutes professional advice of any kind. We do not provide and you should not interpret any platform content as legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, therapeutic counseling, or any other form of professional guidance. The responsible gaming resources we link to are provided as a convenience and public service, but Ghouloria itself is not qualified to diagnose, treat, or advise regarding any conditions. For professional assistance, consult qualified practitioners in the relevant fields.

Platform Modification and Discontinuation Rights

We retain absolute, unrestricted authority to modify, suspend, discontinue, or completely terminate Ghouloria or any component thereof at any time without advance notice, explanation, or liability. This includes removing games, changing functionality, altering virtual credit mechanics, redesigning interfaces, or shutting down the entire platform permanently. Users have no financial stake in platform operations and cannot claim damages or compensation if we choose to make changes or cease operations entirely.

Virtual credits, game progress, achievements, or any other virtual elements you accumulate exist entirely at our discretion and can be reset, modified, or eliminated without warning. These elements have no guaranteed stability, permanence, or significance. They can disappear at any moment due to platform updates, technical issues, or intentional reset. You should never attach significant value to virtual platform elements that could vanish without notice.

User Responsibility for Legal Compliance

Users bear sole responsibility for ensuring their access to and use of Ghouloria complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies in their jurisdiction. While Ghouloria is a free-to-play social casino without real money, laws regarding social gaming, simulated gambling, and casino-style entertainment vary significantly across different regions, countries, and even local municipalities. Some jurisdictions may restrict or prohibit access to casino-style games regardless of whether real money is involved.

By accessing Ghouloria, you represent and warrant that such access is legal in your location. We make no representations regarding the legality of our platform in any specific jurisdiction. If you access Ghouloria from a location where such access violates local laws, you do so entirely at your own risk and accept full responsibility for any legal consequences. We will not be liable for any legal issues arising from your violation of applicable laws.

Concluding Statement

Ghouloria represents our effort to provide entertaining, accessible, risk-free social casino gaming. We have deliberately designed our platform to eliminate financial risk and maximize user safety. However, we cannot control individual user behavior, guarantee perfect platform performance, or ensure responsible usage by all visitors. By accessing Ghouloria, you acknowledge all limitations, restrictions, disclaimers, and warnings set forth in this document and accept full responsibility for your own conduct. If you cannot accept these terms unconditionally, you must not use our platform.
