FAQ
At present SkinJoker does not hold a remote‐gaming licence issued by any state gambling authority. We operate from an offshore location and provide access to blockchain‐based games worldwide on a best‐efforts compliance basis. That means:
- You must confirm that using an unlicensed crypto casino is lawful in your jurisdiction before depositing.
- We voluntarily follow recognised best practices for AML/CFT, responsible gaming and data protection (including FATF standards and the EU GDPR), even though no regulator compels us to do so.
- Because we are unlicensed, you do not have access to a statutory Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme or financial‐loss guarantee. We therefore urge you to wager only what you can afford to lose and to keep independent records of all transactions.
If you need absolute regulatory backing, a licensed operator may be more appropriate for you.
