If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, we strongly encourage you to seek help through the resources provided in this policy.

2. Responsible Gaming Tools

A. Cool-Down Period (Temporary Self-Exclusion)

     If you need a break from gaming, you can activate a Cool-Down Period for a minimum of 1            

     day and a maximum of 30 days. During this period:

• You will not be able to deposit funds, place wagers, or use gaming-related services.
• You will not receive any marketing or promotional materials.
• Once the cool-down period begins, it cannot be reversed or canceled until the period ends.

To activate a Cool-Down Period, log into your account and navigate to the Responsible Betting- Cooldown section. If you need assistance, contact our support team at support@edgemarkets.io

B. Self-Exclusion Program

If you believe you need to take a longer break, you may opt for our Self-Exclusion Program,

which allows you to restrict your gaming activity for an extended period. Self-exclusion

options include: Up to30 days OR Permanent exclusion (irreversible).

During self-exclusion:

• You will be unable to access your account for gaming activities
• All marketing communications will be suspended.
• Any remaining balance may be withdrawn, subject to standard withdrawal policies.

To request self-exclusion, submit a request through your account settings or contact our support team at support@edgemarkets.io.

C.  Third-Party Exclusion Requests

If a family member or legal guardian believes that a loved one has a gambling problem, they may submit a Third-Party Exclusion Request. This requires:

• A written request with supporting documentation.
• Proof of relationship or legal guardianship.

Requests will be reviewed in accordance with applicable laws and policies.

3. Underage Gambling Prevention

Edge Markets strictly prohibits individuals under 21 years of age from participating in gaming activities. We enforce this policy by requiring identity verification through government-issued identification and third-party verification services. If we determine that an account was created by a minor, it will be immediately suspended.
