Responsible Gaming
Effective as of 3/1/25
FourCx Corporation is committed to the protection of our Users and promoting responsible social gameplay as a policy of customer care and social responsibility. We recognize that our games are fun and like many other forms of entertainment, should be consumed in a responsible manner.
General.
This Responsible Social Gameplay Policy (“RSGP”) describes the various tools and resources available to our Users to ensure responsible gameplay.
We may update our policies at any time, which updates shall be effective immediately.
The RSGP is integrated into the Terms of Service, and is a part of such Terms of Service as if fully restated therein.
This Responsible Social Gameplay Policy specifically addresses the unique characteristics of our sports betting exchange platform, where users set and accept odds from one another. It is crucial for users to understand the risks associated with this peer-to-peer model and to engage responsibly.
RSGP Control Tools.
Account History. Users have access to a comprehensive account history feature. This feature provides detailed records of all gameplay activities, transaction history including deposits and withdrawals, time spent playing on various time scales, graphical representations of gameplay patterns and spending trends, and an option to download account history for personal record-keeping.
Various Self-Limitation Options. We offer a range of self-limitation tools to help Users manage their gameplay responsibly. These options include deposit limits, where Users can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount they can deposit into their account; loss limits, allowing Users to set maximum loss thresholds for specified time periods; and session time limits, enabling Users to set maximum durations for individual gameplay sessions. Additionally, Users can opt for cool-off periods, temporarily suspending their account access for periods ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. Wagering limits are also available, allowing Users to set restrictions on the amount they can wager within a specified time frame. All these self-limitation options are easily accessible through the User’s account settings. Any decreases in limits or increases in restriction levels take effect immediately, while any easing of restrictions requires a waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions. We encourage Users to use these tools proactively to maintain control over their gaming activities.
Deposit Limits. Users can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their accounts. Any decrease in limits will be effective immediately, while increases will only take effect after the previous limit period has expired.
Time Limits. Users can set limits on the duration of their gameplay sessions. The system will notify Users when they approach their set time limit.
Reality Checks. Pop-up notifications will appear at regular intervals during gameplay, reminding Users of the time spent and amount wagered.
Odds Setting Awareness Tool. We provide tools and tips for users related to responsible odd settings. The tips will include the risks of setting extremely high or low odds.

Educational Resources.
Principles of Gameplay.
Randomness: Winners of games are determined at random.
Outcomes cannot be predicted by past results or outcomes.
Common Misconceptions.
Thinking “I'm due for a win” is a fallacy since all outcomes in games of chance are random and cannot be predicted.
Believing that a lucky charm or pre-game ritual affects your chances of winning is a misconception, as these factors have no impact on the random outcomes of the game.
Assuming that playing a game for a longer time increases your chances of winning is incorrect, as the probability of winning remains the same for each game round regardless of how much time is spent playing.
Accusing the games of being rigged is baseless since the Random Number Generator (RNG) used in all the games is verified and certified to ensure that the numbers generated are random, unpredictable, non-repeatable, and uniformly distributed.
Tips for Safe Gameplay.
Avoid playing games when you are angry, sad, or otherwise emotional.
Take frequent and regular breaks during gameplay sessions.
Do not play games when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Video games are just one form of entertainment, and there are other options available.
If you do make an optional purchase, make sure it is with money that you can afford to spend.
Set a time for play.
Understand how the games work and the winners are random.
Do not allow game playing to impact your employment, relationships, health, or social obligations or other commitments.
Protecting Users. We do not recommend playing if you:
Have a history of addiction or dependency, or are currently undergoing treatment for such conditions.
Are under the influence of substances that may impair your judgment.
Are experiencing financial issues or stressful or traumatic life events.
Do not understand the rules and gameplay mechanics of the games.
Have any mental health issues (actual or suspected), mental impairments, or physical brain trauma.
Protection of Minors: We have various system and identity checks in place to prevent underage gameplay. If you share your devices with minors, we recommend restricting their access to our platform using various internet blocking and monitoring software.
Probability and Odds Information. We provide clear information about the odds and probability of winning for each game offered on our platform.
Peer-to-Peer Social Predictions Education.
Understanding the Peer-to-peer Predictions. Our platform has features of a peer-to-peer contest platform, not just a traditional social sportsbook. Users can set odds are set by users, not the house. This means markets can be traded tighter and vary significantly.
Risks of Entering Contests. You are responsible for understanding the odds you are setting or accepting. Poor understanding of payouts is not cause for a refund.
Setting vs. Taking Odds. Clearly differentiate the risks and responsibilities of setting odds (potentially taking on liability if those odds are accepted) versus accepting odds (evaluating if the odds represent a good value).
Responsible Odds Setting. Avoid setting odds based on emotion or hunches. Research and compare odds with available data and market trends. Understand implied probability.
Liquidity Awareness: Be mindful of the available 4C Cash or coins backing the odds you set, as your offer may be accepted by multiple users. Ensure you are comfortable with the total potential payout and understand the impact before finalizing your odds.
Example Scenario. You create a contest predicting the Chicago Bulls will win against the Orlando Magic, offering to risk 20 4C Cash to win 10 4C Cash from anyone who accepts. If no one takes the offer before the game starts, it is canceled, and your balance remains the same. If a user accepts, the contest becomes active, and once fully matched, both sides are locked in. If the Bulls win, you receive 10 4C Cash; if the Magic win, the other user wins 20 4C Cash from you.
Data Protection and Privacy. We are committed to protecting your personal data and privacy. Our data usage policy, detailing how we collect, use, and protect User data, especially concerning responsible gaming initiatives, is available. We may monitor betting patterns and behaviors to identify potentially problematic gambling and provide interventions or support, while respecting user privacy.
Staff Training. All our staff members, particularly those in customer-facing roles, undergo regular and mandatory responsible gaming training. This ensures that our team is equipped to support our Users and promote responsible gaming practices.
Third-Party Exclusion. We offer a provision for family members or concerned third parties to request exclusion for a User. This request will be subject to a thorough verification process to ensure its legitimacy.
Regular Policy Review. We commit to an annual review and update of this Responsible Gaming Policy to ensure it remains current with best practices, regulations, and emerging responsible gaming strategies.
Peer-to-Peer Predictions Contests Specific Measures. The platform implements a dynamic risk assessment system tailored to the unique aspects of peer-to-peer predictions. This system continuously monitors user behavior, including frequency of odds setting, acceptance rates, and betting volumes, to identify potentially problematic patterns early on. As part of our commitment to user well-being, we’ve introduced a “buddy system” feature, allowing users to designate a trusted contact who will receive alerts if betting activity exceeds predetermined thresholds.
Responsible Betting Commitment. We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for our users. We are dedicated to preventing underage play, fraud, and money laundering. We are also committed to protecting those who are at risk of developing addiction problems.
We have developed a comprehensive educational module focused on the intricacies of peer-to-peer predictions. This mandatory program for new users, with periodic refreshers for existing ones, covers responsible odds setting and the potential risks associated with accepting unfavorable odds. To further promote informed decision-making, we've integrated a real-time odds comparison tool. This feature displays how a user's proposed payout compares to social sportsbook averages, encouraging more responsible practices and helping users make educated choices.
Our platform fosters a community-driven approach to responsible gaming through a peer review system. Experienced users can voluntarily mentor newcomers on responsible betting strategies within the exchange. This mentorship program is complemented by a user reputation score based on adherence to responsible gaming practices, which influences visibility and credibility on the platform. To promote financial responsibility, we've partnered with reputable financial institutions to offer integrated budgeting tools. These tools assist users in managing their betting funds separately from regular finances, promoting better financial control and awareness in the context of peer-to-peer betting activities.
Risk Assessment Enhancement. Our dynamic risk assessment system flags unusual betting patterns, including but not limited to: unusually high stake amounts relative to the user's history, rapid acceptance of unfavorable odds, and setting odds significantly outside market norms. These flags trigger automated alerts and potential account reviews.
Buddy System Details. The “buddy system” allows users to designate a trusted contact (e.g., friend, family member). This contact will receive alerts if the user’s betting activity exceeds predetermined thresholds (number of bets, total stakes, losses in a given period). The designated contact cannot control the user’s account, but can provide support and encourage responsible behavior.
Mentorship Program Expansion. The peer mentorship program pairs experienced, responsible users with newcomers. Mentors provide guidance on understanding odds, managing risk, and setting appropriate limits. Mentors are vetted and trained on responsible gaming principles.
Reputation Score Details. The user reputation score is based on factors such as adherence to deposit limits, use of responsible gaming tools, and feedback from other users. Users with higher reputation scores may receive benefits, such as increased visibility on the platform or access to exclusive features. Conversely, users with low scores may face restrictions.
Disclaimer. We provide a platform for users to engage in peer-to-peer social prediction contests. Users are solely responsible for their decisions, financial management, and financial outcomes. We do not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Users should be aware of the risks involved and playbet responsibly.
