Actually Insane, Inc. Responsible Gaming Policy
Responsible Gaming Policy
At Actually Insane, Inc., we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and ensuring the well-being of our users on Ante. Although social, skill-based real-money gaming is legally different from gambling — and skill is the determining factor in outcomes — individuals may find themselves unable to play responsibly. We recognize that gaming should be an enjoyable and entertaining experience.
Self-Exclusion
- Users who feel they need a break from gaming or want to exercise control over their gaming activities may request to self-exclude.
- Self-exclusion can be initiated by contacting our support team by text message from a phone associated with the contacting user's account, by email at support@antemobile.com, or through the in-app support chat in Ante.
- Upon receiving a self-exclusion request, our staff will promptly mark the user's account as banned from real-money gaming activities pursuant to this policy.
- The self-exclusion period will be determined by the user, with options ranging from temporary suspension to permanent exclusion. If a user requests permanent exclusion they will not be able to use Ante with their existing phone number.
- During the self-exclusion period, users will be unable to access their user wallet or participate in any real-money gaming activities, but may continue to play free games on Ante if not logged into an account.
Account Balance
Prior to requesting self-exclusion, a user should withdraw all funds from their account. A user who has requested exclusion will not be able to retrieve funds left in their Ante account.
Support and Resources
- We provide resources and information to help users make informed decisions about their gaming habits.
- Our support team is available to assist users who may have concerns about their gaming behavior or who require further assistance with self-exclusion.
- We encourage users to reach out for support if they feel they are experiencing gaming-related issues or if they need guidance on setting limits.
- Support can be found on the websites and helplines listed at the bottom of this policy.
Responsible Gaming Tools
From time to time we may offer a range of tools and features to empower users to manage their gaming activities responsibly. For additional tools that may be available, please contact customer support in the Ante app. We do not guarantee that any tool may be available or that we will maintain the functionality of any tool.
Promotion of Responsible Gaming
- We actively promote responsible gaming practices through our marketing materials, website, and app.
- We collaborate with industry organizations and regulatory bodies to support responsible gaming initiatives and advocate for player protection measures.
Continuous Improvement
- We continuously review and update our Responsible Gaming Policy to ensure it remains effective and aligned with best practices in the industry.
- Feedback from users and stakeholders is welcomed and considered in our ongoing efforts to enhance our responsible gaming measures.
Video Game Addiction — Important Health and Gameplay Notice
Playing Responsibly
Video games are intended for entertainment and should be enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle. However, excessive or compulsive gaming can lead to negative effects on your health, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
Potential Risks of Excessive Gaming
- Disruption of sleep patterns and fatigue;
- Neglect of personal relationships, work, or academic responsibilities;
- Physical health issues including eye strain, headaches, and repetitive stress injuries;
- Reduced physical activity and associated health concerns;
- Social isolation or withdrawal from real-world activities; and
- Financial problems related to in-game purchases or neglected obligations.
We Encourage Healthy Gaming Habits
- Take regular breaks (at least 10–15 minutes every hour);
- Maintain a balanced schedule with time for physical activity, social interaction, and other responsibilities;
- Set reasonable time limits for gaming sessions; and
- Be mindful of your spending on in-game purchases.
Seek Help If Needed
If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulty controlling gaming habits, or if gaming is interfering with daily life, relationships, or well-being, please consider reaching out to a mental health professional or contacting a gaming addiction support resource.
Remember: gaming should enhance your life, not replace it.
Conclusion
At Actually Insane we take our responsibility to promote responsible gaming seriously. By implementing robust policies and providing support resources, we aim to create a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all users of Ante. We are committed to fostering transparency, accountability, and trust in our gaming platform, and we encourage our users to join us in prioritizing responsible gaming practices.
