Fair Play
Updated on: September 16th, 2022
At Frolic, we believe in putting our Users first. This means making the safety and well-being of our Users, our number one priority.
To ensure a fun, secure, and fair playing environment for everyone, this Fair Play Policy (“Policy”) outlines the behaviors and actions which we define as disruptive and harmful, and how we define misconduct. The Policy is comprehensive but not exhaustive, meaning that we reserve the right to take action in respect of matters not listed here. We are also open to your thoughts and feedback about how we can make our policies clearer.
This document supplements Frolic’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, collectively called “Frolic Policies”.
Any breach of any of the Frolic Policies will lead to an investigation, and may result in sanctions such as suspension, revocation of in-game resources, or a permanent ban without prior warning or notice.

Game Fraud Detection
Frolic has automated detection systems to identify fraudulent behaviour in games. Anti-collusion measures are taken in card games during the gameplay.

We notify users in case their accrued spending exceeds a certain limit and ask them to play responsibly. Users are notified when their game sessions are long to take an optional break. When the session exceeds a certain time, Frolic mandates the user to take a non-negotiable break. The user, in this case, cannot use the app.
