Your account balance is the amount of real money paid into Your Account (by You or by Us), plus any winnings (including bonuses which have not met the applicable wagering restrictions) and/or minus any losses accrued from using the Facilities, less any rakes or entry or other fees, if applicable, and less any amounts previously withdrawn by You or amounts forfeited or reclaimed by Us due to any known or suspected fraud or due to deposits or other transactions rejected or cancelled by Your bank or any relevant third-party bank (whether as a result of insufficient funds, charge-backs or otherwise), any Inactive Account Fees (see Section 11 below) or any sums which are otherwise deductible or forfeited under these Agreements ('Account Balance').

10.2

Acceptance of a withdrawal request is subject to You having made and sufficiently wagered a real-money deposit or non-restricted bonus in Your Account, accrued winnings, any deposit method restrictions, bonus restrictions and/or Security Reviews (see Section 16 below) and any other terms of these Agreements. In the case of progressive jackpot wins we may need to verify the win with the game supplier. This verification process may delay any payments/withdrawals and may result in a fluctuation of the amount of the jackpot. We will endeavour to make any progressive jackpot amount won available to you for withdrawal within 24 hours provided all other due diligence and fraud checks required have been successfully completed. All amounts You withdraw are subject to the transaction limits and withdrawal methods that We notify You of before withdrawing. For further details of current deposit and withdrawal options and fees please see our Payments FAQs.

10.3

We may report and withhold any amount from Your winnings in order to comply with any applicable law. All taxes due in connection with any winnings awarded to You are Your sole liability. Account balances cannot be transferred, substituted or redeemed for any other prize. As We operate a ‘Closed Loop System’ for withdrawals to protect both Us and our customers from card theft and fraud, occasionally your withdrawal may be split across multiple payment methods when system security rules require funds to be returned to the payment method(s) used to deposit.

The applicable payment method(s) is/are selected at our sole discretion, and may include but is not limited to credit/debit cards.

10.4

11. INACTIVE ACCOUNT FEES AND ABANDONMENT OF ACCOUNTS

11.1

If You do not access Your Account by 'logging on' to Your Account using Your Account name / User ID and password and either (i) place a cash wager or bet via the Facilities, or (ii) enter a tournament with a cash entry fee via the Gaming Facilities, or (iii) play a raked hand via the Gaming Facilities, or (iv) make a deposit as applicable, for any consecutive period of 365 days, then after those 365 days (the 'Grace Period') Your Account (and any related account with any ESP) will be deemed 'Inactive'. 

11.2

Once Your Account has been deemed Inactive We will be entitled to charge You an administrative fee (the 'Inactive Account Fee'). We may deduct an amount up to the Inactive Account Fee amount from Your Account Balance on the day following the end of the Grace Period and then every thirty (30) days thereafter in accordance with the Inactive Account Fee Schedule. We will also remove any unused freeroll entry tournament monies from Your Account, including but not limited to occasions where the tournament for which the freeroll entry applies is no longer valid. If We continue to deem Your Account Inactive for a period of eighteen consecutive calendar months, in order to safeguard Your monies, We may withhold any remaining monies in Your Account and close Your Account. You may contact Us to reclaim any such withheld monies at any time.

You agree to keep Your Account name / User ID and password secret and confidential and not to allow anyone else to use it. Every person who identifies themselves by entering a correct Account name / User ID and password is assumed by Us to be the rightful Account holder and all transactions where the Account name / User ID and password have been entered correctly will be regarded as valid. In no event will We be liable for any loss You suffer as a result of any unauthorised use or misuse of Your log-in details. We shall not be required to maintain Account names / User IDs or passwords. If You have lost Your Account name / User ID, password or any log-in details, please contact Us for a replacement. If You misplace, forget, or lose Your Account name / User ID, password or other log-in details as a result of anything other than Our error, We shall not be liable to the extent permitted by law.

14. FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES, PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS AND FAILED DEPOSITS

This may have a detrimental impact on Your credit rating and will require Us to share Your personal information (including Your identity) with appropriate agencies and to report any criminal or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.

We reserve the right to void and withhold any or all winnings made by any person or group of persons and to void and withhold any Player Points gained by any person or group of persons where We have reasonable grounds to believe that said person or group of persons is acting or has acted in liaison in an attempt to defraud or damage Us and/or the Group and/or the Facilities and/or the Platforms in any way.

In the interests of data protection, security and avoidance of fraud We do not permit use of any communication channels included within the Facilities and/or the Platforms (including but not limited to dealer table chat boards) to offer or promote any offers, products and facilities (whether Yours or a third party's). You are expressly prohibited from posting information or contacting Our customers to offer or promote any offers, products or facilities.

With regard to the Sports betting Facilities, in the event that We suspect there has been any match rigging, price rigging or other event manipulation, We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion, to (i) suspend the offering of any event or series of events in any of our markets; and (ii) delay and/or withhold payment on any event or series of events in any of our markets until the integrity of such event or series of events has been confirmed by the relevant sports federation.

In the event that the appropriate sports governing bodies confirm that active event manipulation has taken place on any event or series of events, We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to suspend any bets placed on such events, either by any individual identified as having possessed insider betting knowledge or information or by any other individual who in Our reasonable opinion is connected to, acting in conjunction with or in any way involved with such individual.

We shall be entitled to recover such sums that You owe us by deducting the appropriate amount from Your balance or any future winnings or deposits credited to Your account.

15. ERRORS

You must inform Us as soon as You become aware of any errors with respect to Your Account or any calculations with respect to any bet or wager You have placed or any currency conversion. In the event of such error or any system failure or game error (a divergence from the normal functioning of the game logic for whatever reason) that results in an error in any odds calculation, charges, fees, rake, bonuses or payout, or any currency conversion as applicable, ('Error') We will seek to place all parties directly affected by such Error in the position they were in before the Error occurred. Any mistakes in odds displayed in a third party odds comparison website as a result of a technical error shall be considered an Error. We reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were the subject of such Error and to take any money from Your Account relating to the relevant bets or wagers, if there are insufficient funds in Your Account, We may demand that You pay Us the relevant outstanding amount relating to these bets or wagers. In all circumstances whereby We (in Our sole discretion) determine an Error has been used to gain an unfair advantage, We reserve the right to consider this activity to be subject to Section 17 (Forfeiture & Account Closure) of these Terms and Conditions.

Where an error or IT failure affects a pooled prize fund, we will take reasonable steps to restore participants to the position they would have been in had the error or failure not occurred including, where appropriate, by distributing the prize fund equitably between all affected participants.

In the case of a fixed decimal odds bet, winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the fixed decimal odds. In the case of live bets, You accept any changes in decimal odds during the bet placement process. Changes in decimal odds are understood to be those which change between the pick being added to the bet slip and Our acceptance of the bet. The decimal odds are then displayed in Your bet confirmation notification.

28.3.4 Accuracy of Bets and Results

In order to ensure the highest accuracy of all bets and results, we calculate Your Account funds using four decimal points. For technical reasons, Your Account balance can only be displayed to two decimal points, which may from time to time lead to discrepancies when a value with four decimal points is rounded off to a value with two decimal points.

28.4 Acceptance and Validation of Terms

28.4.1

Bets must be made via the Sports betting Facilities.

28.4.2

A bet is deemed to be valid following confirmation of acceptance from Our remote servers. A bet is confirmed when it appears in the customer’s account under "My Bets". When a bet is placed and accepted, the corresponding amount is charged against Your Account. Once accepted, bets cannot be cancelled or amended in any way.

28.4.3

When placing the bet, You confirm that You do not have any previous knowledge of the result of the respective event underlying the bet ('Event'). If, during the period of acceptance of bets, information becomes known through which the outcome of an Event can be determined, We reserve the right to vary the deadline for acceptance of bets or to void any bets placed.

28.4.4

We reserve the right to void any bet, including but not limited to any bet which may be inadvertently accepted when Your Account does not have sufficient funds to cover the amount of the bet placed prior to the Event taking place. Subject to the foregoing, if Your Account balance partly covers a stake for a bet, We reserve the right to accept Your bet with a stake equal to the sum of Your Account balance. We also reserve the right to take any measures necessary to protect You from further losses should you lose EUR 5,000 (or its equivalent) or more in any four-week period.

28.4.5

All bets must be made and accepted before the start of the relevant Event. Any bet placed or received after the start of the Event will be void unless the betting offer is clearly intended to be available after the start of the Event (i.e. live betting, outrights).

28.4.6

If, in the case of live betting, delayed TV coverage or data transmission results in a bet being placed at the incorrect price immediately after the selected participant/team has gained a significant advantage, We reserve the right to void the bet, win or lose.

28.4.7

If an Event is cancelled and deemed void, the respective selection is considered with neutral decimal odds of one (1.00). In the event of an individual bet, the amount of the bet is refunded. In the case of multiple bets in which Events cancelled appear together with other valid events with a winning forecast, the multiple bet is considered won but the accumulated odds are adjusted accordingly.

28.4.8

Multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of another.
