Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Oriental Times, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Tower Rush and all gaming activities should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please play within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
By accessing and using Oriental Times, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. Gaming is strictly prohibited for minors. We are committed to preventing underage access to all gaming products and services.
