Age Restriction Policy

Last updated: May 2026 · Effective immediately

The headline

You must be at least 18 years old — or the local legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher — to use PixelStrikeX. We do not allow anyone under that age to use the service. This applies even though no real money is involved.

Why we set this age limit

• It is the standard. Real-money casinos require 18+ in most jurisdictions (21+ in some, including most US states). We mirror that standard for our virtual product.
• Game mechanics matter. Slots, blackjack, roulette and other casino games are built around variable-reward loops that engage the same brain pathways as real gambling. Adolescents are particularly susceptible.
• It is the right thing to do. Industry self-regulation bodies (eCOGRA, GamCare, the Responsible Gambling Council) all recommend 18+ for social casino content.

Confirming your age

By accessing PixelStrikeX you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement. We do not currently require government ID checks because we do not handle real money. We rely on:

• A clear 18+ notice on the homepage and in the footer of every page.
• This policy and our Terms of Service, which both require age confirmation.
• Account creation prompts (when relevant) that check age before access.
• Industry-standard responsible-play tooling.

If you are under 18

Please leave the site and do not return until you reach the minimum age in your jurisdiction. If you have already used the service, clear your browser data to remove any saved progress.

If you are concerned about your gambling-related habits as a minor, please speak with a parent, guardian, school counsellor, or contact one of the support resources listed below.

For parents and guardians

If you discover that a minor in your care has been using PixelStrikeX, we recommend the following:

1. Talk with them about why gambling-themed games are off-limits, even free ones. The conversation matters more than the rules.
2. Clear the browser data for pixelstrikex.com on every device they use. This removes their saved coin balance and game progress.
3. Use device-level parental controls to block the domain. Most devices (iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link, Windows Family Safety, macOS Screen Time) include this for free.
4. Set up router-level filtering if you want network-wide enforcement. Most home routers and ISP packages support family-friendly DNS or custom blocklists.
5. Consider professional support if you suspect a developing gambling problem — the helplines below specifically train counsellors for young people.

Underage reports

If you believe an underage user is accessing PixelStrikeX — whether you are their parent, guardian, or simply concerned — please email hello@pixelstrikex.com with as much detail as you can share. We treat these reports as priority and will take appropriate steps which may include blocking access or reaching out to the user.

Support resources

Local variations

Some jurisdictions set the legal age for gambling-themed content above 18. Always follow whichever is higher between our 18+ minimum and your local law. We do not currently block by geography, but we ask users to self-identify and self-restrict according to local rules.

Updates to this policy

We may revise this policy as research, regulation, or our own product evolves. Material updates will be flagged on the website. The "Last updated" date above is authoritative.
