KEY TERMSYou should read these Terms and Conditions in their entirety before using this Website and registering as a Member, but we would like to draw your attention specifically to the following clauses:
- Malfunctions: From time to time, technical malfunctions or human errors may occur which affect a Game, the Website, and/or a Group Website. We refer to such events in these Terms and Conditions as “Malfunctions” (see some examples of Malfunctions in section 5.12). Malfunctions may not always be apparent or detectable by you/us. Any Wager affected by a Malfunction will not count, and any winnings and/or Rewards attributed to you as a result of a Malfunction will not be payable to you, as set out in section 5.12.
- Our Liability to You: There are certain losses for which we do not limit or exclude our liability (including your rights under law), as set out in sections 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4. Our responsibility to you for certain other losses is excluded. We are not responsible for failures of any telecommunications or other data transmission systems, losses caused by Events Beyond Our Control, and third party interception or misuse of Members’ payment details, as set out in section 17.5. Nor are we responsible to you for losses that are not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of our breach, as set out in section 17.6. Our liability to you for other types of losses is limited, depending on the type of loss, as set out in section 17.7.
- Membership Requirements: To register and use the Website you must be: (a) 18 years of age or older; (b) in a territory from which we currently accept users; and (c) register in your own name and for your sole benefit.

We may temporarily suspend your account, and withhold payment of your deposit balance and winnings until verification has been completed (section 5.6.1).
- Duplicate Accounts: A requirement of your membership with us is that you only hold a single account with us (section 4.7). If we suspect you may have more than one account with us, we have the right to immediately close all your accounts, void all winnings from duplicate accounts and recover any amounts from your original account if necessary.
- Serious Breach: If we find that you have seriously breached these Terms and Conditions, we may take certain actions against you, as set out in sections 5.12.2, 8.10, 10.5 and 14.2. Such action includes closing your Member account, withholding payments of your deposit balance and winnings, disqualifying you from Games in progress, holding/voiding rewards, Games tickets and complimentary payments, restricting you from opening further accounts, and rendering your entry to competitions or promotions as void. In addition to these, we may temporarily suspend or permanently close your Member account at any time, as set out in section 8.1. If we do so we will refund you your entire withdrawable account balance (other than where stated in section 5.6). If we identify you as playing illegally, we will declare any Wager and winnings made or received whilst playing illegally, as void, as set out in section 5.3.

Other than where you request to withdraw your entire balance, all withdrawals are subject to minimum and maximum limits per transaction, as set out in section 5.7.
- Our Decision and Server Results are Final: We and our records shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any Games you play, any Wagers you place and the circumstances in which such Wagers were placed, as set out in section 15.3. If there is a discrepancy between either the numbers that you believe you have entered or the graphic display of the Game and those in our database, the numbers in the database are final, as set out in section 16.1. For Progressive Jackpot values, it is the value on the server that is used when the Progressive Jackpot is paid out, as set out in section 13.7.
- Progressive Jackpots: We may remove progressive jackpots from time to time, and how we will re-distribute contributions in such cases, as set out in section 13.5.2.

4. OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT
4.1 Membership Requirements: To register as a Member, play Games for real money, use the Game console chat functionality and/or use any of the other products and services we may make available to Members from time to time, you must:
4.1.1 be 18 years of age or older. We may ask for additional information to confirm your age at any time;
4.1.2 reside in a territory from which we accept users from time to time. Further details can be found here. Where you access our Website from an accepted territory that uses EUR (€) instead of GBP (£), all references to GBP (£) across our website and communications with you (including but not limited to (a) these Terms and Conditions, (b) any promotional terms, (c) Games, (d) emails you receive from us) should be treated as meaning EUR (€) and will be converted on a like for like basis (e.g. GBP £1 equates to EUR €1);
4.1.3 register in your own name, for your sole benefit and not register or play on behalf of anyone else;
4.1.4 have a valid bank account, payment card or alternative payment method that corresponds with the name on your account, is a payment method approved by, and is registered to an address in a territory from which we accept users from time to time. We are entitled to assume you are authorised to use your chosen payment method, you do not use corporate or business, cards or accounts, and are using your own funds; we accept no liability where that is not the case.

4.1.6 fully and accurately complete the required information on the registration form; and
4.1.7 comply with these Terms and Conditions at all times in relation to your use of the Website
4.2 Age and Identity Verification:
When considering your Member registration application and certain deposit and withdrawal transactions, we may use independent credit reference agencies to verify your age, identity or any other information that you provide to us. In performing these checks, the credit reference agencies may keep a record of your information. A credit check is not performed and your credit rating will be unaffected. These checks enable your account to be opened, reduce the need to obtain age and identification documents and assist us with our age and identity verification licensing obligations and our crime and fraud prevention policies.
If we cannot satisfactorily complete our age and identity verification process, we may ask you to provide personal identification documents to further confirm and validate your age and identity. Such documents may include (but may not be limited to): a passport or driving licence, a current utility bill or a bank or card statement.
We may suspend your Member account until you have satisfactorily completed these checks. We will communicate all requests to you via the Website and/or by email, phone, SMS or post.
If age and identity verification cannot be completed upon applying to register a Member account, your Member account will not be opened until you have been verified.
The Website and all of the content thereon (including all marketing materials) is intended only for persons aged over 18 years of age. If at any time you are found by us to be under 18 years of age, you will have your Member account suspended, your deposits will be refunded and any winnings will be null and void or may be paid to the appropriate Regulator. No claim may be made against us in these circumstances.
4.3 Registration Acceptance and Personal Accounts: Upon acceptance of your registration as a Member, you will be sent confirmation of your registration by email. You cannot use the full functionality of your account (including, but not limited to, processing any withdrawals) until you have confirmed your email address by clicking on the link in your registration confirmation email. If you have provided an incorrect email address, you can update your details in the My Account section of the Website.
4.4 Declined Applications: We may decline acceptance of a Member account application at any time and for any reason.
4.5 Transfer of Accounts and Funds Between Accounts: You must not sell, transfer or acquire Member accounts to or from other Members or attempt to do so. No funds (including, but not limited to, any winnings) or, rewards may be transferred between Member accounts.
4.6.1 In addition to the age and identity verification requirements described in section 4.2 and as part of our compliance with EU anti-money laundering directives, we may at any time (including, but not limited to, certain stages of your Member account registration) ask you to for additional details including documentation which may be needed to verify your identity and address as well as to confirm proof of ownership for any payment methods and funds used to deposit or withdraw funds. We may suspend transactions on your account until such verification checks are passed.
4.6.2 It is unlawful to deposit, or attempt to deposit, funds obtained from criminal, illegal or fraudulent activities into your Member account.
4.6.3 We are required to monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size and report suspicious transactions and fraudulent activity to the appropriate Regulator, and we may report such activity to the police or relevant authorities.
4.7. Duplicate Accounts: each Member may only have a single account at any one time. If we have reason to believe that you may have opened or may be associated with more than one account, such additional accounts will be classified as “Duplicate Account(s)”. Examples of being associated with more than one account include but are not limited to: using someone else’s account; using someone else’s account details; and/or having multiple accounts under the same address, email, or IP address. We reserve the right, in respect of each Duplicate Account:
4.7.1. In addition to the age and identity verification requirements described in section 4.2 to close each Duplicate Account immediately, leaving you only with your original Member account;
4.7.2. to close all your Member accounts, including both original and Duplicate Account(s) if we believe you may have acted deliberately or fraudulently;
4.7.3. to treat all Rewards, bonuses and/or free bets using the Duplicate Account(s), and all Winnings accrued from any such Rewards, bonuses and/or free bets, as void; and/or
4.7.4. to void all future bets and Wagers on the Duplicate Account (and all winnings accrued from such bets and Wagers).
4.8 To the extent that we are not able to fully recover amounts (including but not limited to Rewards and winnings) we have paid out to your Duplicate Account(s), we may recover any such amounts directly from your original Member account and/or from any other Duplicate Account held by you or on your behalf.
5. ACCOUNT PAYMENTS, WITHDRAWALS AND MALFUNCTIONS
5.1 Transaction Charges: We do not charge you to deposit to or withdraw from your Member account. We accept no responsibility for any currency exchange conversions, charges or fees levied by your card issuer, bank or financial institution.
5.2 Minimum and Maximum Deposits: All deposits are subject to minimum and maximum limits per transaction. These limits may vary depending on the payment method used. Full details can be found in our FAQs. We may limit any Member’s deposits on any single day.
5.3 Illegal Wagering is Void: We do not accept liability for any breach by you of the applicable laws of your country of residence, including but not limited to, adjustment of a VPN (virtual private network) in an attempt to appear to reside in a territory from which we accept users, the creation of end user accounts using fraudulent and/or stolen user details or the attempted use of the Website as a means of depositing funds obtained from criminal, illegal or fraudulent activities. If we, on reasonable evidence, identify you as playing illegally, we will declare any Wager and winnings made or received whilst playing illegally, as void.
5.4 Interest on Member Account Funds: We are not a financial institution. Interest will not be payable on monies held in your accounts as these are merely advance payments for intended wagering.
5.5 Payment Transactions and Fraudulent and Suspicious Transactions: You must not make or attempt to make any chargebacks, and/or deny or reverse any payment that you have made and you will reimburse us for any chargebacks, denial or reversal of payments you make and any resulting loss suffered by us. If we are notified of, or become aware of, any fraudulent payment that you have made (including, but not limited to, use of any stolen payment card) or any other fraudulent activity that you have undertaken (including, but not limited to, any chargeback or other reversal of a payment), we may undertake an investigation of such activity. If we do so and have reasonable grounds to suspect any fraudulent payment or fraudulent activity, we may suspend your account whilst the investigation is ongoing and reverse any withdrawal request that you have made. During such time, you will be unable to withdraw funds from, or access, your account. Following such investigation, if you are found to have made any fraudulent payment or undertaken any fraudulent activity we may close your account, retain your balance, void any outstanding winnings, and recover any winnings already paid to you.
5.6 Withholding payment: Subject to our rights to withhold your deposit balance and/or winnings as set out in sections 4.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.12.2 and 5.12.3, and this 5.6, your deposit balance and winnings (if any) are withdrawable at any time.
5.6.1 We may temporarily withhold payment of your deposit balance and winnings (if any) until verification in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations (including in respect of age and identity verification and anti-money Laundering, and verification of your financial circumstances and source of funds) has been completed. Upon verification being completed, we will process the payment of the withheld amount to you.
5.6.2 If (based on reasonable evidence) we believe that winnings have been attributed to you due to a Malfunction, we may temporarily suspend the payment of such winnings to you whilst we investigate the Malfunction. If we find that such winnings were not attributed as a result of a Malfunction, we will process the payment of the withheld amounts. Winnings attributed to you as a result of a Malfunction shall be void.
5.6.3 If (based on reasonable evidence) we find that you have seriously breached these Terms and Conditions (including as set out in clause 8.10) we may withhold payment of your deposit balance and winnings (if any) up to any amount proportionate to our loss as a result of such breach.
5.6.4 We may also withhold payments of your deposit balance and winnings (if any) to the extent we are required to do so by law and/or instructed to do so by a Regulator.
5.7 Minimum and Maximum Transaction Values: Other than where you request to withdraw the entire balance of your Member account, all withdrawals are subject to minimum limits per transaction, and such limits may vary depending on the payment method used. All withdrawals are also subject to maximum limits per transaction, and such limits may vary depending on the payment method used. Full details can be found in our FAQs. These maximum limits only apply per transaction, and we do not impose any restriction on the maximum amount that you may withdraw in any one time period.
5.8 Confirmation of Withdrawal Requests: Once you have submitted a request to make a withdrawal, you will see a confirmation message that the transfer has been actioned and your balance will immediately clear to the balance of the amount not withdrawn.
5.9 Withdrawal Authorisation and Payment: We aim to authorise your withdrawal request within twenty four (24) hours of our receipt of your request. For security reasons, Members making withdrawals may have to provide some additional information to ensure stringent safeguards are maintained (see sections 4.2 and 4.6). We are not responsible for any delays in processing your withdrawal requests if you do not receive or respond to our requests for information. Once your withdrawal has been approved, we are not responsible for any third party financial clearing process that delays your payment being received.
5.10 Incorrect Account Information: It is your responsibility to submit the correct bank account details for payment of withdrawals. We cannot repay payments made by us to another account due to incorrect account details provided by you. If a payment is unsuccessful and returned to us by our bank payment processor, we will investigate such payment, notify you and request corrected bank account details. Such unsuccessful payments will only be credited to your corrected account details once we have been notified by our bank payment processor that the payment has been successfully retrieved.
5.11 Protection of Customer Funds: We are responsible for the protection and management of your account balance. We safeguard all Member account balances (including, but not limited to, winnings) in a separate bank account (a client account) that is independent from all of our corporate and operating accounts. Consequently, in the event of our insolvency, while protection of your funds is not absolutely guaranteed, you would be entitled to claim monies from this account. Such protection is classified as “medium protection” under the ratings system set out by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain as detailed here: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-and-players/guide/page/if-your-money-has-medium-protection. For further information on your rights in respect of your funds, please visit: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-and-players/money-and-rights.
5.12 Malfunctions:
5.12.1 From time to time, technical malfunctions or human errors may occur which affect a Game, the Website, and/or a Group Website (“Malfunctions”). In some cases, Malfunctions may not be apparent or detectable by you and/or us until our verification checks have been completed. Malfunctions include (but are not limited to):
- malfunctions and/or errors relating to the underlying mechanics and maths of Games, including where a Game operates other than in accordance with its published ‘return to player’ percentage (being the rate at which winnings are paid out as published in the relevant game rules) or published game rules; and
- errors in the calculation and/or distribution of winnings (for example if winnings are attributed or distributed to you which you are not due).
5.12.2 If there is a Malfunction: (a) any Wager affected by the Malfunction will be void; and (b) any winnings and/or Rewards awarded to you which you would not have otherwise been awarded but for the Malfunction occurring (“Erroneous Winnings”) will be void. This means that your Wager will not count and any Erroneous Winnings will not be payable to you. This will be the case whether the Erroneous Winnings are credited to your account or not.
5.12.3 If (based on reasonable evidence) we believe that any winnings and/or Rewards have been attributed to you that are Erroneous Winnings, we may temporarily suspend the payment of such winnings and/or Rewards to you whilst we investigate the Malfunction. If we find that such winnings and/or Rewards are not Erroneous Winnings, we will process the payment/credit of the applicable winnings and/or Rewards.
5.12.4 If you are for any reason able to withdraw any Erroneous Winnings, you will be liable to repay the Erroneous Winnings to us or we may deduct the amount of the Erroneous Winnings from any other sums that we may owe you. You should inform us of any Malfunctions as soon as possible and you should not seek to exploit a Malfunction to generate winnings and/or Erroneous Winnings.
5.12.5 Please see section 16 for details of how Game sessions and Wagers are treated if you are disconnected whilst playing a Game or placing a Wager.
5.12.6 To the extent there is a conflict between any third party content as part of a Game such as (but not limited to) in the Game ‘How to Play Rules’ (and/or on the Website) and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will prevail.

You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware or suspect any unauthorised use of your username or password.
6.3 Responsible Account Management: We take no responsibility for any third party access to your Member account and under no circumstances shall we be liable for any losses incurred by you as a result of misuse of your username or password by any person or for any unauthorised access to your Member account (unless this is due to our negligence). All transactions where your username and password have been entered correctly by a third party will be regarded as valid, whether or not authorised by you, except where our negligence or deliberate act has resulted in such party obtaining your username and password. You must monitor your Member account to prevent its use by another person.
7. CLOSING ACCOUNTS
7.1 Account Closure: We may temporarily suspend or permanently close your Member account at any time. We will take reasonable steps to notify you in advance of any such closure, other than where you have seriously breached these Terms and Conditions (in which case such closure may take effect without notice).

You remain responsible for any activity on your Member account between your request and the closure of your Member account by us.
7.3 Dormant Accounts: If no transaction has been recorded on your Member account for thirty (30) months (and such account has not been self-excluded in accordance with section 10 below), we may choose to close the Member account and remit any balance to you using your last known payment details. Free to play accounts or accounts that have never been funded that have been inactive for a period of twelve (12) months or longer may also be closed by us at any time on 7 days’ notice by email.
Subject to our rights to withhold payments as set out in section 5, on closure of your account your outstanding funds, as recorded on our systems less any active rewards will be transferred to your payment card, bank account or returned by another payment method used by us and you. Closure of your Member account will automatically render any open Games, pre-registration in (or tickets for) multiplayer poker Games and tournaments, Rewards and entries in any Reward schemes, promotions or competitions void. We cannot reinstate these if the Member account is subsequently reopened. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that you are removed from our marketing lists within two (2) days of your Member account being closed.
7.4 Re-Opening your Account: You may request to re-open a closed Member account by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team (their contact details can be found here) with the details of the Member account you wish to re-open.

8.3 Automatic Game Playing / Manipulation of Software / Software Tools: To ensure a secure and fair playing environment, automatic playing of Games by software (including, but not limited to, so called “bots”, Trojans, worms, logic-bots, auto-folders, AI-software and any software used for opponent-profiling and automatic betting) or the use of any other technical means to manipulate the outcome of the Games or your/another Member’s/a Network User’s account and/or data is not permitted. This will include, but is not limited to, using programmes to make decisions or take actions on yours or other Members’ or Network Users’ behalf and any form of hacking. To ensure a fair playing environment for all Members and Network Users, certain poker software tools and "advantage software" are also not permitted during play. These include, but are not limited to, hand history databases, so called "HUDs" (heads-up displays of statistical information), tools offering advice on game strategy, accessing services for specific Member information, poker calculators, or any other form of software that could confer a competitive advantage over Members or Network Users not using such software. Members are expected to make all decisions during Games, including poker, themselves, without external assistance of any kind.
Use of such software, programmes, behaviour or activity may (without affecting our other rights and remedies) result in closure of your Member/Network User account, and other associated Member account(s), and the cancellation of any outstanding winnings and deposits. Members that breach this section will not be eligible for reinstatement under different usernames and, in such event, any outstanding winnings and/or deposits in relevant accounts may also be cancelled.
In some circumstances, breaching this section 8.3 may cause you to have committed a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We may report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and cooperate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them.
If you suspect another Member or Network User of breaching this section, please contact the 24/7 Customer Support team (their contact details can be found here).
8.4 Employee and Contractor Playing Restrictions: Except as set out in section 15.4, neither: (a) our employees and contractors; nor (b) the employees and contractors of our service providers (such as, but not limited to, our licensors, software suppliers, partners or developers) may register as Members, play the Games or make transactions on the Website unless authorised to do so by one of our legally entitled officials for test purposes only. No funds or winnings in Member accounts used in this manner may be withdrawn.
8.5 Site Activity Monitoring: Use of the Website may be monitored to ensure that you are not using the Website with a frequency or in a manner which might suggest you are using it for bookmaking or other illicit purposes. We may withhold any monies and/or suspend and/or close your Member account if we consider that the Website is being used by you for bookmaking or other illicit purposes.
8.6 Chip Dumping in Multiplayer Poker Games and Tournaments: Using the Website or a Group Website for Chip Dumping is prohibited. For security reasons we investigate all incidents of Chip Dumping and we may suspend your Member account if we suspect you of being involved in Chip Dumping and if we find (based on reasonable evidence) that such activity has taken place, we may withhold payment of your deposit balance and winnings (if any) up to an amount equal to the funds that have been the subject of the Chip Dumping and close your Member account.
8.7 Collusion and Suspicious Activity: We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards Collusion and all other forms of cheating that might occur on the Website and, in the case of Linked Games, across Group Websites. We have built several systems to ensure the highest levels of fairness and integrity in our poker Games, including algorithms for the automatic detection of Collusion and Chip Dumping. We have also developed advanced software for more detailed investigation of specific cases. Among other things, we monitor: (i) which Members and Network Users play with each other; (ii) hand types and situations arising in multiplayer poker Games and tournaments; and (iii) unusual Wagering patterns. Our Collusion detection systems are there to protect our Members and Network Users and if you feel that you or another Member or Network User has been a victim of Collusion, please notify out security team by emailing frisk@gamesys.gi. Please provide as much information as possible about the Collusion and, if the suspicious behaviour occurred during a multiplayer poker Game or tournament, include the table name and on-screen hand number. If we determine (based on reasonable evidence) that a transaction you are connected with is fraudulent, suspicious (including, but not limited to, there being Collusion between Members and/or Network Users whether using our systems or other systems), or involves or may involve an attempt to launder the proceeds of crime, or involves or may involve any other financial crime, or breaches any of our policies, we may retain the amount of that transaction (and any resulting winnings, which shall be null and void) and any other transaction made by you (which may include a connected deposit and any resulting winnings, which shall be null and void).
8.8 Fraud or Gaming System Malfunction: We may withhold winnings and void Wagers, and related Rewards if you are a Member or Network User and: you manipulate or another Member or Network User manipulates the Games in a fraudulent manner; there is Collusion (or suspected Collusion) between Members and/or Network Users; we suspect you of taking unfair advantage of other Members or Network Users; or the gaming system itself Malfunctions. Any such winnings, Wagers, and Rewards shall be null and void.
8.9 Compliance with Rules: You must comply with:
8.9.1. all Game-specific rules; and
8.9.2. any other rules and policies relating to the Website,
that we may publish on the Website from time to time.
8.10 Serious Breach: We may restrict or prevent your use of the Website or close your Member account at any time if we, on reasonable evidence, believe that you have seriously breached any of these Terms and Conditions (including where you do not satisfy any of the requirements set out in section 4.1) and we may disqualify you from Games in progress (whilst we so believe you to be in breach), hold or void Rewards or Games tickets that would have accrued to you during the period of any such breach, suspend your participation in a Reward scheme, competition or promotion that you have already opted into, and restrict you from opening further Member accounts.
8.11 Confiscated Funds: If we suspect you of breaching this section 8 in the course of playing a multi-player game or tournament, and exercise our rights to confiscate funds as set out in these Terms and Conditions, we will use the confiscated funds to compensate those affected by such fraud or cheating. For example, in cases where Members and/or Network Users playing poker have incurred losses as a direct result of cheating (such as Collusion), the confiscated funds are distributed to the Members and Network Users affected in proportion to the damage caused, up to a 100% refund for all Games they have lost. In some cases of payment card fraud or bonus fraud, the confiscated funds may be kept by the Gamesys Group as partial compensation for the losses incurred. This distribution is done by the fairest practical means available, and can vary on a case by case basis; and the Games in question are considered to be null and void, and any prizes that might have theoretically been won are not considered. In cases where both Members and/or Network Users and the Gamesys Group have been adversely affected, the applicable Members and/or Network Users are compensated first.
9. CHAT FACILITY
9.1 Chat Content Standards: We may provide you with a chat facility to enable you to communicate with other Members, Network Users and our chat hosts on the Website.

10. RESPONSIBLE GAMING
10.1 Responsible Gaming : As part of our commitment to Responsible Gaming we provide you with the ability to control and limit your spending, options to temporarily cool off access to your Member account and an option to self-exclude and close your Member account for a set period of time. For more details on how you can control your gambling please visit the Responsible Gaming link in the My Account section of the Website.
10.2 Cool Off: You may temporarily exclude yourself from the Website for a period from twenty four (24) hours up to six (6) weeks by accessing the Responsible Gaming section in the My Account section of the Website, and selecting your required cool off period. On confirming the cool off period your Member account will be immediately suspended and it will not be possible to login to your Member account until the selected duration has expired. Please note that when you select a cool off period it will only apply to the Member account that you are logged into at the time, and will not apply to accounts on other websites or, if you have more than one account in breach of these Terms and Conditions, any other account for this Website. It is not possible for us to override or remove any cool off period once set. Any balances and any advance Wagers (including, but not limited to, pre-purchased bingo tickets, and multiplayer poker Games and tournaments) that you have placed will remain and any winnings will be credited to your Member account. You can only access your winnings after the cool off period has expired. Where you have confirmed the cool off, all future Wagers, stage saved Games, pre-purchased bingo tickets, pre-registration in (or tickets for) multiplayer poker games and tournaments, Rewards and entries in any Reward schemes, promotions and competitions cannot be cancelled but you will not be able to access them during the cool off period. It is possible that rewards may expire during the cool off period, in accordance with the Reward Rules, and tickets for multiplayer poker Games and tournaments may also expire. We cannot reinstate any expired bingo tickets, multiplayer poker Games and tournaments, rewards if the Member account is reopened after the cool off period. We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure you are not able to gamble during the cool off period but, provided we have taken all reasonable precautions, we are not liable to you if you circumvent our procedures.
10.3 Deposit Limit and Frequency Control: You can set a maximum deposit limit and frequency control on your Member account by accessing the Responsible Gaming section in the My Account section of the Website. You can set or decrease such limits at any time with immediate effect. Please note that when you select a deposit limit or frequency control it will only apply to the Member account that you are logged into at the time, and will not apply to accounts on other websites or, if you have more than one account in breach of these Terms and Conditions, any other account for this Website. All requests to increase set limits can take up to seven (7) days to become active. We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure your deposit amount and/or deposit frequency limits are observed but, provided we have taken all reasonable precautions, we are not liable to you if you circumvent our procedures and/or deposit funds into your Member account that exceeds your limits.
10.4 Self-Exclusion: We provide a self-exclusion facility. On request, we will suspend access to your Member account (by way of self-exclusion) for a minimum period of six (6) months and up to five (5) years, during which time it will not be possible for the Member account to be accessed by you for any reason. You can also request to close your Member account at any time by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support (their contact details can be found here) with the username or registered email details of the Member account you wish to close. Please ensure you quote the reference ‘Self-Exclusion’ in all correspondence to ensure your Member account is closed for the correct reason.
Upon self-exclusion, all future Wagers, stage saved Games, pre-purchased bingo tickets, pre-registration in (or tickets for) multiplayer poker Games and tournaments, rewards and entries in any reward schemes and competitions cannot be cancelled but you will not be able to access them during the period of self-exclusion. It is possible that pre-purchased bingo tickets or rewards may expire during the period of self-exclusion, in accordance with the Reward Rules. We cannot reinstate any expired rewards if the Member account is reopened after the self-exclusion period. All remaining balances less any active rewards will be transferred to your bank card, bank account or transferred to you through any other third party payment method which we make available.
Member accounts suspended due to self-exclusion cannot be re-opened for any reason until the self-exclusion time period has expired. Upon expiry of the self-exclusion period you may request to re-open a suspended Member account by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team (their contact details can be found here) with the details of the Member account you wish to re-open. Any request to re-open a Member account previously closed due to self-exclusion will be subject to our approval and a 24 hour review period. You may withdraw your request to re-open your Member account at any time during such 24 hour review period. If we approve your request after such 24 hour review period, you will be provided access to your Member account.
You acknowledge that if you elect to self-exclude you are not permitted to open or use a Member account that is operated by any company in the Gamesys Group. If you circumvent the measures that we have in place to exclude you and deposit into a Member account after having elected to self-exclude, all Wagers and winnings made during such time will be void and, subject to our other rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, we may refund any amounts that you have deposited during such time to you. You acknowledge that we will not pay out any winnings generated from deposits originating from a payment method we reasonably believe to belong to a person who is self-excluded from websites belonging to the Gamesys Group (or to a person who has otherwise self-excluded through another self-exclusion service). Any such wagers and winnings made during such time will be void and, subject to our other rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, we may refund any amounts that you have deposited during such time to you.
10.5 Responsible Gaming and Interactions: We take responsible gaming very seriously and may, in addition to the above, take one or more of the following actions at any time if we have concerns regarding the level of your gambling: suspend your account; require that you impose a deposit limit or frequency control of your choice; impose a deposit limit or frequency control of our choice; exclude you from receiving or participating in Rewards, Reward schemes, competitions and/or promotions (in certain circumstances, this may include preventing you from completing a Reward scheme, competition or promotion that you have already opted into, or winning/receiving any Reward/prize); stopping sending you marketing communications; limiting your ability to play certain Games (including bonus Games); and/or closing your account and refunding any deposit balance and winnings (if any) to you. We may take any of the actions in respect of your account both on this Website and any Group Website. We may contact you from time to time to ask you about your level of gambling (for example via the chat facility, email or phone). You acknowledge the need to respond to any such communications truthfully, and that any failure to respond could result in us taking one or more of the actions listed above.
10.6 GAMSTOP: In addition to the Responsible Gambling tools we make available to you, the national online self-exclusion scheme GAMSTOP allows you to put controls in place to restrict your online gambling activities. By using GAMSTOP (www.gamstop.co.uk) you will be prevented from using gambling websites and apps run by companies licensed in Great Britain for a period of your choosing. You acknowledge that your self-exclusion using GAMSTOP is only effective if you do not circumvent the exclusion measures we or GAMSTOP have in place (including by registering additional accounts or accounts with substantially the same registration information albeit inputted in a different way) and, provided we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that whilst you are registered with GAMSTOP you cannot access our products and services, and complied with our regulatory obligations in this regard, we shall not be liable to you in respect of such circumvention
11. REWARDS
11.1 We may offer certain promotional rewards, which may include, but are not limited to the reward types as set out in the Reward Rules such as bonus money and free spins (“Rewards”), from time to time. All Rewards are subject to these Terms and Conditions as well as the Reward Rules (and any other specific terms relating to the relevant Reward that we publish. Failure to comply with the Reward Rules will render the applicable Reward and winnings from such Reward as void.
11.2 Closure of your Member account will render all Rewards, and your entry into and participation in the applicable Reward scheme, void.
11.3 Rewards are not transferable between Member accounts.
11.4 We may withdraw, amend or cancel any Reward scheme at our discretion at any time and without notice. If we do so, any Rewards that you have opted in for or otherwise accrued, will still be valid in accordance with the terms that applied at the time of their grant or we will take such other measures as may reasonably be required to ensure that you are not otherwise disadvantaged. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will provide notice of any withdrawal, amendment or cancellation of a Reward scheme.
11.5 We may choose to provide additional complimentary payments to Members, either applied directly to their Member account or through mechanisms such as (but not limited to) offering the facility for Members to participate in bonus Games, schemes, via the chat facility (including, but not limited to, through interaction on chat and chat games) and through other types of games and competitions. The application of any complimentary payment to a Member’s account or the offering of bonus Games or other types of games and competitions does not place any obligation on us to make any similar payment or rewards to any other Member. Where we (on reasonable evidence) consider you to be in serious breach of these Terms and Conditions, or where required to fulfil our regulatory obligations, we may withhold, withdraw, amend or cancel any complimentary payment that we may have applied directly to your Member account.
12. ACCEPTANCE AND VALIDATION OF WAGERING
12.1 Confirmed Wagers: A Wager is only placed when you receive confirmation from us, by way of on screen display of a transaction ID, that the Wager has been accepted. At that time, the amount of the Wager will be charged against your Member account. All Wagers (including, but not limited to, any payments for using pre-purchased bingo tickets and for pre-registration in (or tickets for) multiplayer poker Games and tournaments) are final. We cannot cancel or refund Wagers once they have been confirmed by us unless the Wager is declared void for any reason outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
12.2 Minimum Wager: A minimum Wager amount applies to each Game, unless otherwise specified. The minimum amount will be shown before you participate in the relevant Game.
12.3 Deduction of Wagers / Unresolved Wagers: The cost of a Wager will be deducted from your Member account at the time of placing your Wager, no matter when the result is determined. Except in the case of pre-registration in multiplayer poker Games and tournaments, where in some cases you may be able to cancel your entry before the multiplayer poker Game or tournament has started and you will be refunded your cost of entry, we cannot refund Wagers purchased for future plays that have not yet been settled. Any winnings related to such Wagers will be credited to your Member account once the play has been settled.
12.4 Our right to Cancel / Terminate Games: We may cancel, amend, remove or terminate any Game at any time without notice. If a Game is cancelled, amended, removed or terminated in a way that means it is not possible to resolve a Wager that you placed, then that Game shall be deemed null and void and the Wager will be credited back to your Member account.
12.5 Cancellation of Multiplayer Poker Games and Tournaments: In the unlikely event that a multiplayer poker game or tournament is cancelled, Members remaining in the multiplayer poker game or tournament will be compensated according to the Poker Cancellation Policy, which you can find here.
12.6 Our right to Postpone Games: We may postpone or pause any Game at our sole discretion. In this case, any Wagers for the postponed Game shall still stand and the Game will be executed at the new time set by us.
13. PAYMENT OF WINNINGS
13.1 Crediting Winnings: Winnings due on Wagers placed through your Member account will be credited to your current deposit balance automatically. This update of your Member account is not ‘proof of win’. If upon manual review there is evidence of fraud, Malfunction or that you have cheated or done anything to enable or assist any other person to cheat, including by exploiting or manipulating loopholes in Game software or the Website, we may void certain Wagers and winnings and amend Member accounts accordingly.
13.2 Rounding of Winnings: We use a Wager multiplier to calculate and accumulate gaming odds and it is therefore possible that for certain Games, winnings payouts can be displayed for presentational clarity having been rounded down to two decimal places to the nearest currency unit (for example, pence (GBP) or cents (EUR) (or currency equivalent, if applicable)). However, our (and/or any of our third party Game and/or service providers’) servers calculate and record the exact decimal value of the accumulated winnings payouts and Members’ balances.
13.3 Our Decision is Final: You agree that we and our records (and/or the records of any of our third party Game and/or service providers) shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any Games you play, any Wagers you place and the circumstances in which such Wagers were placed, subject to your rights under section 19.1 of these Terms and Conditions.
13.4 Taxation on Winnings: Any applicable taxes and fees in connection with any winnings awarded to you are your sole responsibility.
13.5 Progressive Jackpots:
13.5.1 We may choose to make available to Members pooled Progressive Jackpots across networks and services owned and operated by the Gamesys Group and third parties.
13.5.2 We may remove (or ‘decommission’) Progressive Jackpots at any time (including before the Progressive Jackpot has been won). Where we do so and a live Progressive Jackpot contains player contributions, we will always re-distribute such contributions fairly according to the circumstances.
13.6 Progressive Jackpot Winnings: All Progressive Jackpot winnings will be subject to our confirmation. Our decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into, subject to your rights under section 20.1 of these Terms and Conditions.
13.7 Progressive Jackpot Accuracy: We use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Progressive Jackpot value displayed in a Game matches the value on the Game server. However, it is the Progressive Jackpot value on the server that is used when the Progressive Jackpot is paid out. A small discrepancy may arise due to the delay between the initial Progressive Jackpot being displayed to you and the Progressive Jackpot that is actually won and paid out. Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible for the Progressive Jackpot to appear to be won by more than one Member during the delay period mentioned above. If more than one Member appears to win a Progressive Jackpot simultaneously then the Member recorded on our servers and/or our Game or service providers’ servers as having won the Progressive Jackpot first shall be the recipient and the subsequent Member(s) shall win the value of the Progressive Jackpot when reset. In the extremely unlikely event of the server recording a win truly simultaneously, we may share the Progressive Jackpot equally between the winning Members.
13.8 Publication of Winnings: For winnings greater than £/€100, your first name, initial letter of your surname and county may be published if we receive a request from an individual pursuant to rule 8.28.5 of the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising & Direct and Promotional Marketing.
14. COMPETITIONS AND PROMOTIONS
14.1 From time to time we may offer you the chance to enter competitions and promotions. We will provide the specific terms and conditions for such competitions and promotions at the relevant time. You should therefore read these Terms and Conditions in combination with the applicable specific terms for any competition or promotion you wish to enter. Where such specific terms conflict with these Terms and Conditions, the specific terms will take precedence.
14.2 Serious failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions and/or failure to comply with the applicable specific terms for a competition or promotion will automatically render your entry to such competition or promotion as void.
14.3 Closure of your Member account during a competition or promotion in which you have participated will render your entry into and participation in such competition or promotion void, and you will not be able to receive a prize.
14.4 We may withdraw or amend any competition or promotion at any time. Any such withdrawal or amendment will not impact any player who has already opted into the competition or promotion, or otherwise accrued any prizes in relation to such competition or promotion, prior to the withdrawal or amendment coming into effect (unless any such withdrawal or amendment is necessary to prevent fraud or similar unlawful behaviour).
14.5 Publication of Winners: We are required to publish or make available information that indicates a valid award took place in connection with competitions and promotions that we run. To comply with this obligation, we may publish information about major prize winners on the Website or at such other location as may be specified in the specific terms and conditions for the relevant competition or promotion. Alternatively, if this information is not published, it will be made available on request by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team here. Unless otherwise stated in the specific terms and conditions for the relevant competition or promotion, the information we typically publish or make available is: surname, county and, where applicable, the winning entry. We consider a major prize winner to be a winner of a prize worth more than £/€100. If you object to information about you being published or made available in this manner, please inform us by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team here or by using the contact method set out in the specific terms and conditions of the relevant competition or promotion. In such circumstances, we are still required to provide this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on request.
15. REGULATION OF RESULTS
15.1 Our Server Evidenced Results: If there is a discrepancy between either the numbers that you believe that you have entered or the graphic display of the Game you have played and those in our (or any of our third party Game or service providers’) database, the numbers in the database are considered valid and no correspondence disputing such issues will be entered into by us.
15.2 Random Number Generator: You accept and agree that: (a) random number generator software, hosted on our (or any of our third party Game or service providers’) servers will determine the outcome of the Games; (b) if the result shown on the Software conflicts with the result shown on our (or any of our third party Game or service providers’) server, the result shown on our (or any of our third party Game or service providers’) server shall in all circumstances take precedence; and (c) our (or any of our third party Game or service providers’) records shall be the final authority in determining the circumstances of your use of the Website and you shall have no right to dispute our decisions in regard to such matters, except as set out under section 19.1 of these Terms and Conditions.
15.3 Integrity of Random Number Generator: The output of our (or our third party Game or service providers’) random number generator is monitored and tested regularly by us and an independent accredited test facility to ensure it performs within expected bounds and in accordance with the relevant Regulator’s requirements.
15.4 Chat Hosts in Multiplayer Poker Games and Tournaments: Occasionally, you might see our chat hosts playing in multiplayer poker games or tournaments, or informing you about related promotions. They will be clearly identified as chat hosts, and their play will be in accordance with our Poker Chat Host Policy, which you can see here.
15.5 Results of Members of Group Websites: If you are a Network User and participate in a relevant multiplayer poker Game or tournament, we may report any actual or suspected act of Collusion, Chip Dumping, soft play, automated playing, manipulation of software, taking unfair advantage, fraud, money laundering, financial crime, or any other breach of our policies, including but not limited to this section 15, to the relevant Group Website. Such actual or suspected acts shall be dealt with by the relevant Group Website in accordance with its policies. This may result in the withholding of winnings, voiding of Wagers and related bonus and rewards by the relevant Group Website, together with the closure of your account with the relevant Group Website (as further described in the relevant Group Website’s policies). For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be able to assist you in relation to any decisions made by the relevant Group Website.
15.6 Complaints: If you would like to make a Complaint, please refer to our Complaints Policy (which can be found here).
15.7 Member Account Balances: Save as a result of manifest error or our negligence, the balance of your Member account will at all times be as recorded on our server.
15.8 Autoplay Facility: If you use an autoplay facility that we make available on any of our Games, the outcome of any spins prior to pressing the STOP button, including, but not limited to, any spin in progress at the time you press the STOP button cannot be reversed.
16. DISCONNECTIONS AND OTHER EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
16.1 Disconnection information: The Games are played over telecommunications networks. If you are disconnected from the Internet or a mobile telephone network, then: your status in the applicable Game will be dependent on the type of Game you were playing/about to play. By way of explanation:
a) if you were playing a single player Game and you had not commenced the Game when you were disconnected, the Game will not take place;
b) if you had commenced the single player Game when you were disconnected, the Game will be recorded on the Game servers and your Wagers will stand and the outcome will be reflected in your Member account status;
c) if you had commenced a multi-player Game or Linked Game of casino table games and placed a Wager before you were disconnected, then you will take default actions (for example, stand in a blackjack Game automatically) until you re-join or until the Game ends; and
d) if you had commenced a multi-player Game of roulette and placed a Wager before you were disconnected, then the Game will auto-play and your Wager will stand, and the outcome will be reflected in your Member account status.
16.2 Some single player Games are multi stage and may include bonus Games. If you are disconnected from the Internet or a mobile telephone network during a bonus Game or a multi stage Game, reconnecting and re-selecting the Game (at the same value where applicable) should cause the Game to recommence from the point at which it terminated. Non multi stage Games will complete the outcome of the Game or bonus Game in your absence and will credit your Member account if you win. If a bonus Game cannot for any reason be recommenced in this way, this is considered a Malfunction unless otherwise stated in the specific Game rules. If there is a disconnection, the records stored on the Game server shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any Wagers you place and the circumstances in which they were made. Malfunction voids all Wagers and play, resulting in the amounts of your Wagers being refunded.
16.3 Disconnection from a Linked Multiplayer Poker Game or Tournament due to a Malfunction:
16.3.1 If you are disconnected from a multiplayer poker game or tournament that is a Linked Game during a hand due to a Malfunction of the Website but no such Malfunction occurs on any of the other Group Websites, then you may be treated as sitting out and take default actions (for example, check or fold, or post blinds automatically when it is your turn to post blinds) until you are able to re-join the Linked Game or until the Linked Game ends.
16.3.2 If you are disconnected from a multiplayer poker game or tournament that is a Linked Game during a hand due to a Malfunction of all of the relevant Group Websites, then the relevant Linked Game shall be cancelled, all Wagers and play shall be void, and the amounts of your Wagers shall be refunded.
17. LIMITS ON LIABILITY
17.1 You agree that you will only use the Website in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
17.2 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence by us, our employees or agents.
17.3 You have certain rights under the law. These include that we will provide services with reasonable skill and care and within a reasonable time.
