uk9 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or use the uk9 platform in any way.

If uk9 discovers that personal data has been collected from a player who is under 18, we will immediately close the associated account, delete the data, and forfeit any balance in the account. If you believe a minor has registered on uk9, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take action promptly.
