Know what you are sitting down to.

We publish more than we are asked to

Every Ironhowl game page lists RTP, maximum win, grid, mechanic and volatility band. RTP alone does not describe an hour of play — two games returning the same percentage can feel nothing alike — so we publish hit frequency and payout distribution alongside it, including where the numbers are unflattering.

Eternal Shrine has a base game hit frequency of 18.4%. That is low, it is deliberate, and anyone deciding whether to play it deserves to know before rather than after.

Our promotions never reward volume

Every event on this site is a raffle or a best-single-result leaderboard. None of them count how much you wagered, how long you played, or how much you lost. A qualifying spin at the ten-cent minimum carries exactly the same weight as one at a hundred dollars.

We will not run a wager race, a loss-back offer, or a deposit-linked promotion. Those mechanics pay players to play more, and we are not willing to build our community on that.

We hold no funds and take no wagers

Ironhowl is a game studio. Our titles are distributed through licensed operators who handle all accounts, deposits, withdrawals and responsible-gambling controls. Deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion are set at the operator, not here.

If you have self-excluded at an operator, that exclusion covers our games there. Nothing on this site can be used to circumvent it, and we will not process an entry from an account we know to be excluded.

If it has stopped being a choice

Free, confidential help exists in most countries. GamCare (UK, gamcare.org.uk, 0808 8020 133), the National Council on Problem Gambling (US, ncpgambling.org, 1-800-522-4700), Gambling Help Online (AU, gamblinghelponline.org.au) and Gambling Therapy (international, gamblingtherapy.org) are all independent of any operator or studio.

You do not have to be in crisis to contact any of them.

Age

Our games are made for adults. Access is restricted to people of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, verified by the operator. This website is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly hold data belonging to a minor.
