Terms & Conditions

1. About these terms

This website, located at civiccommons.org ("Civic Commons," "we," "us" or "our"), publishes independent reviews, comparisons and informational content about online gambling operators. By accessing or using the site, you ("you" or "the user") agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the "last updated" date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Age and eligibility

The content on Civic Commons is intended for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to use this site, and at least 21 years old where an operator or your jurisdiction requires it. Some operators impose a minimum age of 21. By using this site you represent and warrant that you meet the minimum legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction. Nothing on this site is directed at minors.

3. Informational purpose only

Civic Commons is a review and information publisher. We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept bets or wagers, do not host casino games, do not process gambling deposits or withdrawals, and do not hold player funds. All gambling activity takes place on third-party operator websites, subject to those operators' own terms and conditions, which you should read before depositing.

4. Offshore-operator disclaimer

Because these operators are not licensed in the United States, US-state consumer and gaming protections generally do not apply to your account with them, and they are not part of US state self-exclusion programs. Any dispute you have with an operator is between you and that operator. We provide licensing and operator information to the best of our knowledge, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy at any given moment, and we encourage you to verify licence details directly with the operator and issuing regulator.

5. Your responsibility for local law

Gambling laws vary widely by state and country and change over time. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether online gambling, and the use of offshore operators in particular, is legal in your jurisdiction before you participate. By using this site and any operator we link to, you confirm that doing so does not violate any law applicable to you. Civic Commons accepts no responsibility for any action you take that is unlawful in your jurisdiction. If you are unsure, consult a qualified legal professional.

6. Affiliate relationship

Civic Commons participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links on our site and subsequently register or deposit with an operator. This is disclosed prominently on every page. As explained on our review methodology page, these commercial relationships do not influence our rankings, ratings or editorial opinions. However, you acknowledge that a commercial relationship exists and that some links are affiliate links carrying "sponsored" attributes.

7. No warranty

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While we work to keep bonuses, licensing details, payout information and legal summaries accurate and current, offers and terms change frequently and without notice to us. We do not warrant that the information on this site is complete, accurate, current or error-free, and we make no warranty regarding any operator's conduct, solvency, payout practices or continued availability. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial or tax advice.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Civic Commons, its owners, employees and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party operator. This includes, without limitation, gambling losses, lost deposits, unpaid withdrawals, account closures, or damages resulting from reliance on information published here. Your use of this site and of any operator is entirely at your own risk.

9. Third-party links

The site contains links to third-party websites, including gambling operators. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices or availability. A link does not constitute an endorsement of legality in your jurisdiction. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

10. Intellectual property

All original content on this site — text, reviews, rankings, graphics and layout — is the property of Civic Commons or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may not reproduce, republish or distribute our content without our prior written permission. Operator names, logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

11. Responsible gambling

We are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling involves financial risk and can be addictive. If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, help is available — see our responsible gambling page. In the US, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER at any time.

12. Governing terms and contact

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Civic Commons regarding the use of this site. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Questions about these terms can be sent through our contact page or to editorial@civiccommons.org.
