Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming at cashman.games is based on the principle that gambling should be a form of entertainment engaged in consciously and in moderation. We encourage all players to treat gaming as an enjoyable leisure activity, not as a way to earn income, and we are committed to supporting our users with information and tools to promote safe gaming behavior.
If you require assistance or guidance, the cashman.games team is available to support you on your journey to responsible play.
