StatHero hosts fair and responsible contests for a variety of entry fees. StatHero runs all contests with integrity, fairness and reliability. StatHero is committed to responsible gaming and is dedicated to an enjoyable and positive gaming experience for all of our players. Most people play online for entertainment, but we recognize that a small percentage of people will attempt to play when they’re underage or allow playing online to control them and affect their lives.
StatHero performs an electronic verification using a third-party data reference company to validate the age and identity of all customers. We reserve the right to ask for additional age verification information from the player and suspend the player’s account until he or she provides information that verifies their identity to our satisfaction.
StatHero offers the options to self-exclude and self limit. If, at any point, you think you’re spending too much time or money on StatHero, you have the option of taking a break from StatHero entirely. If you wish to suspend your account please contact [email protected] and it will be suspended within 24 hours. Upon self-exclusion, StatHero will refund or pay self-excluded player the entirety of their account balance within 7-10 business days. In the event a player has received a bonus deposit and has NOT played their deposit, player will then forfeit the deposit upon self exclusion.
Once a player voluntarily notifies StatHero to request a suspension of account, that account will be suspended indefinitely within 24 hours, until player contacts [email protected] to request activation. Upon request, StatHero will audit account to approve or not approve re-activation.
You must be 18 years or older to play, 19 years or older to play in Alabama and Massachusetts, and 21 years or older to play in Arizona.
