Eligibility & age verification
Participation is limited to eligible adults. We apply identity and age-verification (KYC) checks so that only verified, eligible individuals can take part.
Compliance & responsible play
Compliance and responsible play, by design.
Compliance is not an afterthought at Digital Gaming Worlds Enterprise Inc. — it is built into how we develop, publish and operate every product we run, including the Bahatiz promotional sweepstakes platform. Clear eligibility rules, identity controls, fraud monitoring and player-protection tools are part of our products from the first line of code through to live operations.
Our commitment
A compliance-first approach to digital entertainment
We design, build and operate digital entertainment products that are intended to be enjoyed responsibly. That commitment shapes our product decisions, our operational controls and the way we work with banks, payment processors and other partners. We aim to be transparent about how our products work, who they are intended for and the safeguards we apply.
Our compliance program is organized around a few core principles: only eligible, verified adults should participate; participation must be available without any purchase; access should be limited to permitted locations; and players should always have tools and information to stay in control. These principles are applied consistently across our products and are designed to align with applicable U.S. sweepstakes and consumer-protection requirements.
How the model works, in brief
Bahatiz operates a promotional sweepstakes model using virtual currency. No purchase is necessary to participate, and a free method of entry is always available. Promotions are open only to eligible adults in permitted U.S. states and are void where prohibited. Virtual currency has no independent cash value except as expressly described in the applicable official rules. This is a marketing and promotional model — it is not gambling.
Our compliance framework
The pillars of how we operate
Our framework brings together eligibility, geography, financial-integrity, player-protection and transparency controls into one coordinated program that runs across the product lifecycle.
Geographic restrictions
Geo-fencing and location controls restrict participation to permitted U.S. states. Promotions are void where prohibited and access is blocked outside eligible locations.
AML & fraud monitoring
Anti-money-laundering and fraud-monitoring controls help us detect suspicious activity, protect account integrity and keep our platforms safe for legitimate participants.
No purchase necessary (AMOE)
A free method of entry (an alternative means of entry) is always available, so no purchase is ever necessary to participate or to win.
Responsible play
Player-protection tools — including limits, session reminders, cool-off periods and self-exclusion — help participants stay in control of their experience.
Data protection & privacy
We handle personal data with security and privacy in mind, applying access controls and safeguards and processing data in line with our published privacy policy.
Advertising & marketing standards
Our promotional materials are designed to be clear and not misleading, prominently communicating eligibility, the no-purchase-necessary basis and where to find the official rules.
Official rules & transparency
Each promotion is governed by official rules and terms that set out eligibility, how to enter, the free method of entry and applicable conditions — published and accessible to participants.
The promotional sweepstakes model
Plain-English: how the sweepstakes model works
Bahatiz uses a promotional sweepstakes model built around virtual currency. Participants can engage with entertainment experiences using virtual currency, and promotional sweepstakes give eligible participants a chance to obtain prizes. Crucially, no purchase is necessary to participate, and a free method of entry is always available — anyone eligible can take part without spending money.
This is fundamentally a marketing and promotional model, not gambling. Promotions are open only to eligible adults in permitted U.S. states, are void where prohibited, and are subject to the applicable official rules. Virtual currency used within the platform has no independent cash value except as expressly described in those rules.

Player protection
Responsible play
We want participation to stay fun and within healthy limits. Our platform provides tools and information to help players stay in control, set boundaries and take a break when they need one.
Spending limits
Players can set limits that help them manage their activity and keep participation within boundaries that are comfortable for them.
Time reminders & session limits
Session reminders and time limits help players stay aware of how long they have been playing and make conscious decisions about their time.
Cool-off periods
Players can take a short break by activating a cool-off period that temporarily pauses their participation before they return.
Self-exclusion
Players who wish to step away for a longer period can use self-exclusion to suspend access to their account for a chosen duration.
Account controls
Clear account settings put players in control of their preferences, notifications and the protective limits they choose to apply.
Access to support resources
We provide information and signposting so that players who feel they need help can find independent support resources.
If you feel you need help
If your play stops feeling fun, or you feel you may need support, we encourage you to use our player-protection tools and to reach out to an independent support organization. Help is available, and taking a break is always a healthy choice.
