Binding Agreement

These Terms of Service establish a binding legal agreement between you and Embercrest. By accessing, browsing, or using our social casino entertainment platform, you acknowledge full acceptance of these terms. Disagreement with any provision requires immediate cessation of platform use.

Service Definition

Embercrest provides browser-based social casino-style games for recreational entertainment purposes only. Understanding our service classification is essential:

• No prizes, rewards, or items of tangible value are provided to users
