    Policy on Lotto, Lottery, Gambling, and Casino Spaces [Updated 06/01/2026]

    Policy on Lotto, Lottery, Gambling, and Casino Spaces
    Effective Date: 06-01-2026


    To maintain the integrity of the SmallVerse community and protect players from scams and abuse, casino-style activities are permitted only under the conditions outlined below.

    Permitted Activities
    Players may create casino-style spaces and wagering games using only official SmallVerse widgets.

    Approved widgets include:
    • Pool
    • Wild Cards
    • Dice Game
    • Fast Draw
    • Chess
    • Checkers
    • Chinese Checkers
    Players may wager Gold or Tokens on approved widget-based games; however, all wagers must be placed and resolved through the official wagering system within the widget itself.

    Using the Trading Terminal, direct trades, gifting, or any other method to place bets or distribute winnings is prohibited. All wagering must occur within the approved SmallVerse widget.

    Prohibited Activities
    The following activities remain prohibited:
    • Custom gambling systems that rely on host-controlled randomization, trust-based payouts, or manual outcomes.
    • Dice rolls, lotteries, raffles, slot machines, card draws, or similar games not conducted through official SmallVerse widgets.
    • Any activity that falsely advertises payouts or fails to honor agreed-upon wagers.
    • Any activity involving external trading, real-world money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or other items of value outside of SmallVerse.
    • Any attempt to manipulate, exploit, or automate official game widgets.
    Important Notice
    All wagers made between players are voluntary and conducted at the players' own risk.

    SmallVerse does not guarantee payouts, reimburse losses, or intervene in disputes arising from player-made wagers, except in cases involving scams, fraud, exploitation, or violations of the Terms of Service.

    Players should only wager amounts they are comfortable losing.

    External Trading and Abuse
    Casino-style spaces have historically been used to disguise external trading and money laundering activities. SmallVerse will continue to investigate all suspicious transactions and activity patterns.

    Players found using casino-style spaces to facilitate external trading, transfer purchased currency, launder assets, exploit the game, or otherwise violate the Terms of Service may face disciplinary action, including permanent account suspension and removal of any associated assets.

    Enforcement
    The following enforcement measures apply:
    • Spaces operating prohibited gambling systems may be locked immediately.
    • Space owners and participants involved in prohibited activities may receive warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans depending on severity.
    • Any Gold, Tokens, or items obtained through scams, exploits, external trading, or other violations may be removed from accounts.
    • Repeated violations may result in permanent loss of casino-hosting privileges and account termination.
    Approved Alternatives
    • Player-run games such as Falling Chairs, Fridge Games, and Name Games remain permitted.
    • Hosts may include optional buy-ins for players to join an ongoing game or rejoin after elimination; however, participation must not require an entry fee.
    • Optional buy-ins must not exceed 300 Gold or 6,000 Tokens.
    • All activities must remain compliant with the SmallVerse Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

    Policy Update – Player-Run Games
    Effective Date: 04/15/2026


    We have updated our policy regarding player-run games, including but not limited to Falling Chairs, Fridge Games, and Name Games.

    Optional buy-ins are still permitted for players to join an ongoing game or rejoin after being eliminated; however, participation must not require any entry fee.

    In addition, optional buy-ins must not exceed 300 Gold or 6,000 Tokens. This update is intended to ensure a fair and balanced experience for all players.

    Please ensure your spaces comply with this update moving forward.
