Age Verification Limitations
Crowngreen applies identity verification procedures at the point of registration; however, the platform cannot independently confirm the age of every user without the submission of valid, government-issued identification documents. Users are required to provide accurate age information upon account creation.
Handling of Data Belonging to Minors
If a parent or legal guardian believes that a minor has registered on the platform and submitted personal information without authorization, they may contact Crowngreen’s support team with a formal request for data deletion. Upon verification of the circumstances, Crowngreen will:
- Suspend and close the account in question;
- Delete the personal information associated with the minor’s account;
- Take appropriate steps to prevent future registration by that individual.
Crowngreen encourages the use of parental control tools and filtering software to prevent unauthorized access to online gambling platforms by minors.
The Crowngreen platform is intended exclusively for users who are 18 years of age or older. Online gambling services are not directed at minors, and Crowngreen does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the legal age of participation.
