Disclaimer

Entertainment Only Declaration

Fogthorn exists solely as an entertainment platform. Every game, feature, and element of our service is designed exclusively for recreational enjoyment. We want to make absolutely clear what Fogthorn is and what it is not.

Fogthorn is NOT a gambling site. We do not facilitate, process, or enable any form of real-money wagering, betting, or gambling activities. There are no circumstances under which you can win or lose real money through Fogthorn. This is not a technicality or legal loophole—it is the fundamental nature of our service.

All games on Fogthorn use virtual credits that have zero monetary value. These credits exist purely as a scoring mechanism to enhance the gaming experience. You cannot purchase virtual credits, you cannot sell virtual credits, and you cannot exchange them for anything of real-world value.

Age Restriction Notice

Access to Fogthorn is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years and older. This restriction applies regardless of whether real-money gambling is involved. We implement this age gate because:

Responsibility: Casino-style entertainment, even in a purely recreational context, should be limited to adults who can make informed decisions about their leisure activities.

Industry Standards: Following best practices in the social casino industry means restricting access to adult audiences only.

Legal Compliance: Age restrictions ensure we comply with various jurisdictional requirements regarding casino-themed content.

If you are under 18 years of age, you must not access or use Fogthorn. Parents and guardians are encouraged to utilize browser controls and parental supervision tools to prevent access by minors.

No Real-Money Gambling

This disclaimer emphasizes a critical point that cannot be overstated: Fogthorn involves ZERO real-money gambling. Let us be absolutely explicit about what this means:

No Deposits: We never ask for, accept, or process any form of payment or deposit. You cannot send us money under any circumstances.

No Withdrawals: Since there is no real money involved, there is nothing to withdraw. We do not process payout requests because there are no payouts.

No Monetary Prizes: You cannot win money, gift cards, products, services, or anything of monetary value through Fogthorn. Game outcomes have no financial impact whatsoever.

No Purchase Requirements: Everything on Fogthorn is completely free. There are no premium features, no paid upgrades, and no in-app purchases.

No Real Stakes: When you play our games, nothing of value is at risk. You cannot lose money because you never provide money in the first place.

Recreational Use Only

Fogthorn's games are designed purely for fun and leisure. The thrill of casino-style gameplay can be enjoyed without financial risk or reward. This is entertainment in its purest form—playing for the joy of playing, not for profit or gain.

We encourage users to approach Fogthorn as they would any other form of entertainment media. Enjoy the games, appreciate the design and mechanics, and engage with the content in a healthy, balanced way as part of a diverse range of leisure activities.

While our games simulate casino experiences, they are fundamentally different from actual gambling because the critical element of financial risk is completely absent. This distinction is not subtle—it is the entire premise of our service.

Responsible Gaming Practices

Even though Fogthorn involves no real-money gambling, we still promote responsible gaming principles. Here's what we encourage:

Time Management: Take regular breaks while playing. Extended gaming sessions can lead to fatigue regardless of whether money is involved.

Balance: Maintain variety in your leisure activities. Gaming should be one part of a well-rounded lifestyle, not a consuming obsession.

Awareness: If you find yourself feeling compelled to play beyond enjoyment, or if gaming interferes with your daily responsibilities, it may be time to reassess your relationship with gaming entertainment.

Support Resources: If you have concerns about gambling behaviors (whether related to Fogthorn or other platforms), we provide links to professional support organizations in our footer. These resources exist to help anyone experiencing difficulties with gambling or gaming.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

While all games on Fogthorn use random number generation to ensure fair and unpredictable outcomes, we make no guarantees about game results, virtual credit accumulation, or any other gameplay metrics.

Game outcomes are determined by algorithms designed to mimic the randomness of real casino games. However, since no money is involved, these outcomes carry no real-world consequences. Whether you accumulate virtual credits or deplete them has no impact beyond the immediate entertainment value of the experience.

Legal Compliance Responsibility

Users are responsible for ensuring that accessing Fogthorn complies with all laws and regulations in their jurisdiction. While Fogthorn is a free entertainment service with no real-money gambling, different regions have varying laws regarding casino-themed content, even in recreational contexts.

We cannot provide legal advice about whether accessing Fogthorn is permitted in your specific location. If you have doubts about the legality of using our services, consult with legal counsel in your area before proceeding.

Service Limitations

Fogthorn is provided "as is" for entertainment purposes. We make no warranties about service availability, game performance, or compatibility with your specific device or browser configuration.

While we strive to maintain consistent service quality, technical issues may occasionally occur. Game malfunctions, display errors, or connection problems can happen. Since no money is involved, such issues have no financial impact, though we certainly aim to resolve any problems promptly to maintain the quality of your entertainment experience.

Understanding the Distinction

We recognize that casino-style games, even when offered purely for entertainment, can resemble real gambling in their presentation and mechanics. This similarity is intentional—we aim to capture the excitement and appeal of casino gaming while eliminating the financial risk.

However, this superficial resemblance should not create confusion about the nature of our service. Fogthorn is not gambling. It is entertainment inspired by gambling, presented in a safe, risk-free environment. Think of it as similar to how racing video games simulate the thrill of motorsports without the actual danger, or how flight simulators provide aviation experiences without leaving the ground.

Final Statement

By using Fogthorn, you acknowledge and understand that this is a free entertainment service with no real-money gambling, no prizes of value, and no financial risks or rewards. You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that your use of Fogthorn complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Fogthorn exists to provide enjoyable casino-style entertainment in a responsible, transparent, and completely risk-free environment. We hope you enjoy your experience while fully understanding the nature of what we offer.
