Legal policy statement in relation to advertising and editorial content

There are no advertisements in this publication that have gambling as their essential element. Advertisements for offline casinos, poker card rooms, sports betting outlets or other betting establishments do not depict gambling, or contain any inducement to gamble. They depict other aspects of that establishment, such as restaurants, bars, hotel rooms and/or other facilities. Advertisements for offline establishments, activities or things that do not involve bets or betting do not depict gambling, or contain any inducement to gamble. Advertisements for some online casinos, poker card rooms, sports betting outlets or other betting establishments that accept “bets” are in fact completely free to play, those bets are with “play money” that has no real cash value, and those bets therefore are not gambling. Advertisements for other online casinos, poker card rooms, sports betting outlets or other betting establishments, do not depict gambling, or contain any inducement to gamble. They depict other aspects of that establishment that are either completely free (such as free play, competitions, learn to play facilities, and so on), or depict a product or service for which a non-gambling payment is made (for example payment for a book or educational course). In the case of online casinos, poker card rooms, sports betting outlets or other betting establishments that do accept bets that are in the nature of gambling, any advertising placed in this magazine does not have gambling as its essential element. This does not preclude such online casinos, poker card rooms, sports betting outlets or other betting establishments from placing advertising in this magazine for goods and/or services that require payment, but such payment must not be in the nature of gambling but must merely be payment for a good or service, for example a book or educational course. Nothing in the editorial content of this publication is intended to be construed as a gambling advertisement, and nor should it be so construed. Only gamble what you can afford. If gambling becomes a problem, seek professional help. The editorial content of this magazine is not necessarily the opinion of World Gaming Magazine Ltd, but is the opinion of the relevant contributors, provided openly and honestly for our readers’ education, information and entertainment. We do not, and never will, sell editorial opinion. Our contributors are under strict instructions to never sell editorial opinion.
