Version 17.1, dated 05.07.2023
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU MOVE ON
Everything contained in these Terms and Conditions (see clause 2.1 below for how we define "Terms and Conditions") is important and should be read by You, but we would like to draw Your attention in particular to the following clauses and the important terms that they contain. These clauses have the potential seriously to affect Your interests. You must read the clauses themselves and not rely on the short summaries below.
- Clause 5– Eligibility and Verification: we will need to complete our verification, eligibility, and other checks before allowing You to do certain things in connection with Your Account (see clause 4.1below for how we define “Account”), including placing bets or wagers or withdrawing Your funds. If we’re unable to complete these checks to our reasonable satisfaction, we will suspend and, ultimately, close Your Account and pass on any necessary information to the relevant authorities. Please read clause 5 carefully.
- Clause 6 – Duplicate Accounts: You may only hold one Account with us. If we discover that You hold more than one Account, we will have certain rights including the right to close all Your Accounts, to void bonuses and winnings, and to retain positive balances. Please read clause 6 carefully.
- Clause 7 – Errors, Malfunctions and Interruptions: all our gambling software is tested carefully but computer software and systems are never perfect. If any of the Services (see Clause 2.1 for how we define "Services") suffers a software error, or presents incorrect information to You such as incorrect terms or winnings, we have the right not to pay You out. This includes circumstances where the problem is not obvious to You and is only discovered by us when we check or verify the result of a transaction. Please read clause 7 carefully.
- Clause 8 – Prohibited Practices: there are things that You may not do in connection with Your Account and the Services. These things are referred to as "Prohibited Practices" and they include, among others, cheating, colluding with others, allowing others to use Your Account, using stolen funds, or providing untrue/misleading information to us. If You do these (and certain other) things, we have certain rights against You (which are summarised in the bullet below). Please read clause 8 carefully.
- Clause 9 – Suspension/Closure of Your Account by Us: We are entitled to close Your account with prior notice. Also, if You partake in any Prohibited Practices, we will have certain rights against You, including the right to suspend and, ultimately, to close Your Account, to cancel/void affected/attributable bets, and to void and withhold relevant winnings. Please read clause 9 carefully.
- Clause 13 – Withdrawals: You will usually be able to withdraw Your available real money balance from Your Account at any time, but there are certain specific circumstances in which we will delay or withhold withdrawals. Please read clause 13 carefully.
- Clause 14 – Maximum Payout Limits: maximum payout limits apply to some of the Services. For example, maximum payouts apply to certain bets and promotions. This means that, regardless of the amount You stake and no matter how much You may appear to have ‘won’, You will only be entitled to receive up to the maximum winnings limit applicable to the relevant Service You have participated in or bet on. Please read clause 14 carefully.
- Clause 15 – Inactive Accounts: if Your Account is inactive (i.e. You don’t login) for a certain period of time, Your Account will be deemed an “Inactive Account”. You will still be able to access any real money balance in Your Inactive Account, but different processes will apply, and we will be entitled to deduct a small monthly administration fee during the period of inactivity. Please read clause 15 carefully.
- Clause 16 – Our Liability to You: when You play with us, it is important that You understand what we are liable for, when limits to our liability will apply (and what those limits are), and what we are not liable for. Please read clause 16 carefully.
- Clause 17 – Your Responsibility to Us: there are situations in which You will be responsible for costs that we incur as a result of Your behaviour (for example where You are involved in any Prohibited Practices or where You engage in fraud, dishonesty or criminal actions) and sometimes we can set off the positive balance in Your Account against amounts that You owe to us. Please read clause 17 carefully.
- Sportsbetting Terms and Conditions: In addition to these Terms and Conditions, our sportsbetting service is regulated by the rules provided in our Sportsbetting Terms and Conditions. These rules are an integral part of the General Terms and Conditions, and are only applicable if you access the sportsbetting services on the Website.

2.1. These general terms and conditions (the “General Terms”) and the documents referred to in them (which together with these General Terms form the "Terms and Conditions" – see clause 2.3 below) govern Your use of the Website and (if applicable) Your participation in, use and/or access of any of the betting or gaming products made available via the Website (the “Services”).

2.3. Not all of the legal terms and conditions that apply between You and us are set out in these General Terms – some of them are contained in separate documents in order to avoid these General Terms becoming too long. We cross-refer to these other documents and provide You with links to where appropriate.

2.4. It is Your responsibility to know and understand the laws and regulations concerning online gambling in the jurisdiction in which You are located.

3. Changes to these Terms and Conditions
3.1. We may from time to time modify these Terms and Conditions for a number of reasons, including in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations and/or to keep up-to-date with changes to the Website, the Services and/or our business practices.

4. Account Registration and Security
4.1. To participate in the Services, Players are required to open an account with the Company via the Website ("Account").
4.2. To open an Account, Players must accurately complete the registration process by providing all personal details requested (including the Player's name, date of birth, and contact details such as a residential address, email address and phone number) and create their own unique username. The use of offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable usernames is forbidden, as is the use of usernames that contain or allude to internet addresses or account names which allude to certain rights of the Player (in particular but not exclusively, the use of the term “administrator”). The Company is entitled to refuse registrations or suspend Accounts with unacceptable usernames. The Company will (as applicable) accept the registration or lift the suspension of such Accounts after the successful change of the username to an acceptable username (and subject to any other rights the Company has under these Terms and Conditions). Usernames can be changed by contacting our Customer Support (see the "Contact us" page of the Website (here)).
4.3. The Company is entitled to refuse to register and open an Account for any reason and will not be obliged to provide any reasons for doing so.

By registering for an Account, You consent to us undertaking identity and verification checks using the personal details You provide during registration (see clause 5 below). These personal details may also be supplied to authorised third parties to, amongst other things, confirm Your age, identity and registered payment details and to run external credit/financial checks.
4.5. It is solely Your responsibility to ensure that You do not reveal Your username or password to anyone else and to ensure that Your Account information is kept secret at all times. If You suspect that the security of Your Account information has been compromised or there has been any unauthorised use of Your Account, You must immediately change Your password and report the issue to us at [email protected] or by calling us at the number shown here.
4.6. To aid Account/password security, we recommend that You:
- do not write Your password down;
- do not use the same password as You use for other accounts that You may have online;
- do not use easily guessable passwords such as birth dates, telephone numbers, car registration numbers, etc.; and
- change Your password regularly.
4.7. If You activate touch ID, fingerprint login, face ID, passcode login, and/or any other security facility on Your device(s) and You believe a third party could be accessing Your Account via any of these facilities then You should immediately disable such facilities from all of Your devices and report the issue to us at [email protected] or by calling the number shown here/
4.8. If a third party accesses Your Account, You are solely responsible for all their actions and all losses that may arise from such access/actions, whether or not their access was authorised by You (unless such access was the foreseeable result of our failure to exercise reasonable care in connection with Your Account security). We will not be obliged to return any losses or deposits that any such third party/ies may have incurred or made via Your Account unless we are required to do so by applicable regulation.
4.9. By registering for an Account with us, You warrant and represent (i.e. promise) that:

- You have the mental capacity to take responsibility for Your own actions and can enter into a legally binding agreement with us;

- You are not (and are not a relative of) an employee or sponsor of the Company;
- You are located in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Bailiwick of Guernsey (which includes the jurisdictions of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man;

- You are not a compulsive or problem gambler;
- You have not been excluded from gambling – whether voluntarily or otherwise – including via any public self-exclusion service such as GAMSTOP;

- You are using a payment method that is in Your own name, that belongs to You, and that You are authorised to use;
- You shall not deposit funds into Your Account for any reason other than to participate in the Services;
- You are opening an Account solely for Your personal use and You are not acting on behalf of someone else (including by opening an Account in someone else’s name);

- You will inform the Company immediately if You become aware of any Error, Malfunction or Interruption affecting any of the Services and You will immediately cease all use of such Services (see clause 7 below).
4.10. You must keep Your Account information up-to-date. You can update some of Your Account information by accessing the 'My Account' facility on the Website. In other cases, You will need to contact us to request that Your details be changed. We will not be liable for transactions which are declined as a result of incorrect details where You have failed to make us aware of any changes to Your Account information (or have failed to correct such details Yourself). Should Your payment method be lost, stolen, or any of Your credentials compromised, You must notify us immediately at [email protected] or by calling us on the number shown here.
4.11. When You register for an Account, we shall check Your registration details against public self-exclusion services such as GAMSTOP in line with our licensing and regulatory obligations. You acknowledge that these services are owned and operated by third parties which are separate from the Company. Therefore, the Company will not be liable if the GAMSTOP (or other third party) system is not working as it should, or should You attempt or manage to circumvent the systems in place. In particular but without limitation, the Company shall not be liable if You intentionally attempt to open Accounts by providing incorrect/altered information, including but not limited to the alteration of Your personal details (e.g. name, email address, home address, etc.) in even a minimal manner, with the intention of circumventing self-exclusion and/or other systems or protocols in place.
5. Eligibility and Verification
5.1. You accept and agree that we will perform such identification, credit and other verification checks from time to time as we may reasonably require and/or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations and/or by relevant regulatory bodies. As part of this process, we may request that You provide to us valid proof of identity, age, address and/or payment method ownership as required to comply with our regulatory and legal obligations.
5.2. In certain cases, the verification process may require You to undergo a video verification procedure through our external provider IDnow GmbH. The video verification may be necessary in order to fulfil, in whole or in part, the verification process required for You to successfully activate your Account. The video verification may also be necessary in order for us to conduct any other verification checks from time to time, as we may reasonably require and/or as may be required by the applicable laws and regulations and/or by relevant regulatory bodies.
5.3. You will not be permitted to gamble via Your Account until we have verified Your name, address and date of birth.
5.4. Underage gambling is illegal. More information on the prevention of underage gambling can be found in the help section of the Website under “Safer Gambling”. If we discover (after You’ve successfully opened an Account) that You are under 18 years of age:
- Your Account will be closed;
- all transactions made via Your Account will be void;
- all funds deposited by You will be returned to You using the same payment method used for the deposit of such funds, wherever possible; and
- we may make a report to the relevant regulatory authority.
5.5. Examples of documents accepted by the Company for proof of identity/age are:
- valid passport;

- Utility bills not older than 6 months old issued by the authorised company in Your country of residence; and
- Tax notification not older than 6 months old issued by the competent authority.
5.7. Other documents may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
5.8. To ensure a high standard of protection for You, we run external credit/financial checks, as required by applicable laws and regulations and/or by relevant regulatory bodies and/or by best practices in the industry. We may also from time to time require You to provide us with further documents and information relating to the source of deposited funds and/or Your personal and/or financial circumstances.
5.9. As we made clear in clause 4 above, You are obliged to keep Your personal information up-to-date and You consent to further verification checks on all changes to Your personal information that You may make from time to time.
5.10. You agree to provide all requested documents/information and to undergo all necessary verification procedures, and You accept that, until we have received the requested documents/information and satisfied our checks to our reasonable satisfaction, we are entitled to restrict Your Account in any manner that we reasonably deem appropriate, including by preventing You from placing any bets or wagers, or temporarily from withdrawing Your funds (see clause 13 for more information about when we will delay or prevent withdrawals). If our checks cannot be satisfied, we will suspend and, ultimately, close Your Account (see clause 9 below) and pass on any necessary information to the relevant authorities.
6. Duplicate Accounts
6.1. Each Player may only open one Account. If we discover that You have opened more than one Account, each such additional Account shall be classified as a "Duplicate Account". If we discover that You hold one or more Duplicate Accounts, we will (in respect of each Duplicate Account):
- close the Duplicate Account, leaving You with only the original Account (unless we have reason – for example if You have deliberately or fraudulently opened more than one active Account – to close all Your Accounts) and to treat all bonuses and free bets, and all winnings accrued from such bonuses and free bets, obtained using the Duplicate Account as void;
- void all bets/wagers made on the Duplicate Account; and
- retain the positive balance of the Duplicate Account.
7. Errors, Interruptions and Malfunctions
7.1. We try to provide You with a high-quality betting and gaming platform, but we cannot guarantee that the Services will at all times perform correctly. Various kinds of mistakes and errors can occur – technical, human and otherwise – and You understand and agree that we can only provide the Services to You, and You must accept the Services, in the condition that we make them available from time to time.
7.2. In this clause 7, we set out a description of the things that can go wrong and the rights that we have in such events. In clause 16 below we set out how we will not be liable to You when these (and other) things go wrong. You should be aware however that these clauses do not override or cancel out any rights that You may have under consumer laws and regulations and we do not intend that they should.
7.3. Set out below are some important definitions to help You understand this clause: A “Malfunction” refers to where an automated process fails to operate as designed or intended, for example where a piece of computer software produces a deviation from its intended performance specifications or parameters, or where two pieces of software fail to interface or communicate with each other in the manner intended or designed, in either case so as to produce a result which is not the result that was intended or designed. These malfunctions may or may not be apparent to us or to You and they may only come to light as and when settlement instructions, game outcomes, winnings or cashouts are investigated and analysed retrospectively. An “Error” refers to a mistake or error that is not exclusively technical, for example the mistaken posting of incorrect odds, the offer of incorrect prices or terms for participation in a promotion or gambling opportunity. Errors can arise from human mistakes, administrative, operational or systems failures and combinations of all of these. For example, a bet might be offered mistakenly at a price that is substantially out of the market or a promotion designed to offer a £5 return might mistakenly advertise a £50 return or the pay-tables advertised for a product may mistakenly fail to reflect the true payment configuration of the product. An “Interruption” refers to an interruption in a gambling transaction for any reason, for example an interruption caused by the failure of the internet or connectivity, or severe latency in communications, or technical failure due to some disaster or unforeseen event.
7.4. Where any of the above occur, we will deal with them as described below and it is important that You understand and agree to the following before You use the Services, as we made clear in the "Important Information” note at the top of these General Terms:
Malfunctions
7.5. If as a result of a Malfunction, Your Account is credited with winnings that You would not have received were it not for that Malfunction, we will void the relevant transaction and withhold the relevant winnings. This applies even if the relevant gambling product could have produced the same or similar amount of winnings without the intervention of the Malfunction and it applies whether the Malfunction was apparent to You or to us or not. If You have withdrawn any such winnings, You agree that You will pay them back to us as and when we ask You to.
7.6. Where any Malfunction is or becomes apparent or obvious to You or You suspect that a Malfunction may be occurring, You agree that You will cease Your use of the relevant Service(s) immediately, and will report it immediately to [email protected] or by calling the number shown here.
Errors
7.7. In the event of an Error, the same applies as for Malfunctions, as set out above.
7.8. Where any Error is or becomes apparent or obvious to You or You suspect that an Error may be occurring, You agree that You will cease Your use of the relevant Service(s) immediately, and will report it immediately to [email protected] or by calling the number shown here.
Interruptions
7.9. Our priority is to ensure that we deal with Interruptions in a way that is fair and does not systematically disadvantage our Players.
7.10. In relation to gaming:
- where an Interruption occurs after we receive notification of Your gamble and where You can have no further influence on the outcome of the event or gamble, the results of the gamble will stand;
- where an Interruption to a single-participant single stage event occurs before an outcome has been generated we will return Your stake to Your Account;
- for games where there are multiple stages or decision points, we will take all reasonable steps to restore the game to its last known state prior to the Interruption to enable You to complete the game; and
- for games that are progressive jackpots, progressive jackpot values will be restored to their pre-failure state to the extent it is within our control and not the games provider.
8. Prohibited Practices
8.1. The following practices are considered "Prohibited Practices":
- Players providing inaccurate or misleading personal information upon Account registration or afterwards (except where Players provide incorrect or misleading information in order to pass relevant age-verification checks, which situation will be dealt with as described in clause 5.4 above) or otherwise failing to provide the information and/or documents and/or to undergo the video verification procedures (where necessary) that we need to satisfy our verification checks (as described in clause 5 above);
- Players attempting in any way to bypass or circumvent the security or safer gambling checks of their Account or the Website/Services;
- Players attempting to manipulate the results of the Services by concerted practices, making alterations of the programme or in any other way;
- Players exploiting an Error, Malfunction or Interruption (including by continuing to use a Service once it is apparent or obvious to the Player or the Player suspects that an Error, Malfunction or Interruption may be occurring);
- Players being involved in any form of collusion (i.e. coordinated or unsolicited team play) or cheating in connection with the Services;
- Players making use of any system (including machines, computers, software (including any that facilitates artificial intelligence) or other automated systems such as ‘bots’) to gamble via the Services or to circumvent or exploit our bookmaking or gaming systems (see clause 8.2 below for more information about prohibited software);
- Players’ Accounts being used in any manner which we consider (acting reasonably) to be fraudulent, dishonest or criminal;
- Players using a stolen, cloned or otherwise unauthorised payment method as a source of funds in connection with their Account, or depositing money originating from criminal and/or other illegal activities;
- Players accessing or attempting to access the Services whilst located in any territory other than the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Bailiwick of Guernsey (which includes the jurisdictions of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man (including by the use of a VPN or any similar technology to disguise location);
- Players collecting personal data about other Players without their explicit prior approval;
- Players transmitting any kind of virus or spam or attempting to cause any other kind of interference, disruption or interruption of the Website and/or the Services;
- Players’ Accounts receiving a “chargeback” and/or a "return";
- Players becoming bankrupt;
- Players using the Website and/or Services other than for their own personal use;
- Players allowing (whether intentionally or unintentionally) someone else to use their Account;
- the name registered on a Player’s Account not matching the name on the payment method used to make deposits on such Account; and
- Players seriously breaking these Terms and Conditions in any other way.
8.2. Prohibited software includes software which allows opponent profiling, Player collusion or any other programme which allows or assists a Player to cheat or gives a Player an unjust advantage over another Player. The Company is entitled to take steps to detect and prevent the use by Players of such software.
8.3. You agree that You will not participate in or be connected with any form of Prohibited Practice in connection with Your access to or use of Your Account, the Website and/or the Services.
8.4. We will not be liable for any loss or damage which You may incur as a result of engaging in any Prohibited Practice(s). Furthermore, You agree that You will be responsible for any losses, expenses or other costs that we incur as a result of any Prohibited Practice(s) on Your part (see clause 17 below).
9. Suspension/Closure of Your Account by Us
9.1. We are entitled to close Your Account at any time by giving You no less than 10 days’ notice. Any balance in Your Account at the time of such closure, or any closure by us under clause 9.2 below due to Your engagement in a Prohibited Practice, will be paid back to You, except that:
- if You have engaged in illegal activity, we are under no obligation to pay to You any money that may be in Your Account; and
- if we discover or have reasonable grounds to believe that You have participated in or have been connected with any form of Prohibited Practice/s then we will withhold all or part of the balance, and (if/as applicable) recover from Your Account deposits, payouts, bonuses, and/or any winnings, in each case that are attributable to those Prohibited Practices.
9.2. We will suspend Your Account where we have reason to believe that You have engaged in any Prohibited Practice and Your Account will remain suspended while the matter is investigated. We may contact You to request further information/documentation from You as part of our investigation and You agree to provide such information/documentation in a timely manner. If our investigation results in our decision (acting reasonably) that the issue has been resolved to our satisfaction, we will lift the Account suspension. If our investigation results in our decision (acting reasonably) that You have engaged in any Prohibited Practice or if we are unable to complete our investigation because you have not timely provided the further information/documentation that we have reasonably requested, we will permanently close Your Account with immediate effect. In these circumstances, Your details may be passed on to any applicable regulatory authority or any other relevant external third parties.
9.3. Your funds cannot be accessed or withdrawn during periods of Account suspension, and any balance will remain in the Account pending completion of our investigation. During Account suspension, Your access to our Services is also suspended.
10. Closing Your own Account
To request a closure of their own Account, Players can contact the Company via telephone, email, or chat (see the "Contact us" page of the Website (here)). For security purposes, Players may be required to confirm/provide certain Account details such as username, full name, date of birth and/or answer to their security question. If a Player is asked to provide the answer to his/her security question and is unable to do so, he/she must send a copy of a valid, official form of photo identification to [email protected]. The Player’s then-current Account details must match those visible in his/her photo identification.
11. Safer Gambling
11.1. We recognise that gambling can become a problem for some Players. We provide Players with safer gambling tools including Account limitations and Account suspensions. Stricter limits and the suspension of Accounts are effective immediately, while any changes concerning the reduction of restrictions will become effective after a period of 24 hours. Should Players want to limit or suspend their Accounts in any way, they can do so by making adjustments directly via their Account settings, by sending an email to [email protected], or by calling Customer Support at the telephone number shown on the "Contact us" page of the Website (here), stating their username and passing our security checks.
11.2. A self-exclusion may also be imposed by Players either directly via their Account settings, by sending an email to [email protected], or by calling Customer Support at the telephone number shown on the "Contact us" page of the Website (here), stating their username and passing our security checks. The self-exclusion period shall be of at least six months and can be extended indefinitely. Any outstanding wagers or bets at the time of a Player's self-exclusion will be settled in the normal way, according to the normal timescales and, if subsequently applicable, winnings shall be paid to the Player (subject to any rights we have under these Terms and Conditions to void and withhold winnings). Any Account blocks due to self-exclusion cannot be undone during the agreed self-exclusion period.
11.3. During any self-exclusion period, a Player will be unable to access their Account. All remaining balances in the Account will be paid out to the specified payment method (subject to any rights we have under these Terms and Conditions to withhold funds). The Player must provide the Company with valid payment details.
11.4. No marketing material will be sent to the Player during a self-exclusion period and the Company will not accept any deposits or bets from the Player. Once the self-exclusion period has elapsed, a Player may reactivate his/her Account by contacting Customer Support to conduct a phone interview, at the telephone number shown on the "Contact us" page of the Website (here). Following this, there will be a 24-hour cooling-off period before a Player can have access to the Website again.
11.5. If the Player chooses to self-exclude, the Company will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that it complies with the Player's self-exclusion. However, in agreeing to self-exclude, Players must not circumvent or attempt to circumvent the requested self-exclusion and the Company will not be liable for any consequences or losses that the Player or any third party may suffer or incur if the Player commences or continues gambling by circumventing self-exclusion procedures or systems by any means.
11.6. The Company will perform safer gambling and financial assessments/checks of Player Accounts, as reasonably necessary and/or required by applicable laws and regulations and/or required by the relevant regulatory bodies. Where these assessments identify a risk of gambling-related harm, the Company may apply limits and/or close Accounts temporarily or permanently.
11.7. More information about our safer gambling tools can be found here: https://www.admiralcasino.co.uk/en/safer-gambling.
11.8. You can also find help and guidance at https://www.gamcare.org.uk/.
12. Deposits and Protection of Your Funds
12.1. In order for Players to be able to participate in the Services and wager real money, they must make a deposit into their Account.
12.2. The Company is not a financial institution, does not offer credit, and the funds in Your Account will not earn interest.
12.3. We are required by the regulations of the UKGC to inform Players about what happens to funds which we hold on account for them, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of our insolvency – see here for more information: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-and-players/guide/how-gambling-companies-protect-your-money. We hold customer funds separate from Company funds in a bank account not accessible to creditors in case of insolvency. This means that steps have been taken to protect customer funds in the event of our insolvency. However, it is not guaranteed that You will get Your money back. This meets the UKGC’s requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: medium protection (You can read more about what this means here). Subject to its regulatory obligations, the Company may change the terms upon which customer funds are held.
12.4. Pound Sterling (£) is the lead currency of the platform, with Euros accepted in the Republic of Ireland.
12.5. Deposits can be made by way of the payment methods stated on the homepage of the Website. The Company may change the accepted methods of payment from time to time. The Company is not required to accept deposits made with debit cards and/or bank accounts that are registered in the name of, or are owned by, companies or other types of business subjects and/or legal persons. Acceptance of certain methods of payment is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions (e.g. ownership verification and security checks). You may not use a credit card to deposit funds into Your Account. This includes depositing into Your Account via a money service business, such as a digital or e-wallet, where the original source of the deposited funds is a credit card.
12.6. Payment services are provided by third parties and the Company does not warrant that all methods of payment are available at all times.
12.7. We recommend that You retain a copy of transaction records and of the payment policies belonging to the payment services provider(s) You may use.
12.8. The minimum deposit amount is £10. The Company is entitled to amend the minimum limit. Maximum deposit limits may also apply – the upper limit of the maximum amount may vary, depending on the payment method chosen by the Player. Altering the maximum deposit amount may be possible by sending a written request to Customer Support at [email protected], who will consider the request and may make any agreed changes on a case-by-case basis.
12.9. The Company is subject to regulations and guidelines for the prevention of money laundering and the funding of terrorism. To prevent illicit activities, all Accounts and real money transactions may be checked by the Company. Suspicious Accounts and/or transactions shall be investigated by the Company and, if necessary, a suspicious activity report will be made by the Company to the competent authorities, in accordance with applicable law/regulation and the Company’s obligations. In any such event, the Company is prohibited from informing the Player or any third party involved, save in limited circumstances, that an investigation is being or may be carried out, or that information has been or may be transmitted to the competent authorities.
12.10. You may be legally obliged to account to the relevant tax authorities for any real money winnings from the Services. This remains Your sole and exclusive responsibility and we will not be liable to account to any such authority for any of Your personal tax reporting issues.
13. Withdrawals
13.1. You may withdraw Your own real money deposits and winnings held in Your Account at any time, provided that:
- all payments made into Your Account have been confirmed as cleared and have not been charged-back, reversed or otherwise cancelled;
- we have completed any verification/other checks to our reasonable satisfaction (see clause 5 above). Where we have requested information from You to carry out such checks, any delay in providing this information may cause an additional delay when withdrawing funds; and
- there is currently no ongoing, or (where applicable) completed, investigation:
- into an Error, Malfunction or Interruption involving a Service which You have played/wagered on or participated in; or
- where we have reason to believe You may have engaged in an illegal activity or Prohibited Practice which would entitle us to withhold funds in accordance with clause 9.1 above, and in both these cases You acknowledge and understand that, as we made clear in the “Important Information” section at the top of these General Terms, we will ultimately void any affected transactions, void and withhold relevant winnings, and (in the case of Prohibited Practices) suspend/close Your Account.
13.2. Withdrawal requests below £10 can only be made by contacting Customer Support (see contact details here).
13.3. Where possible, withdrawals will be processed using the same payment method/s used to make deposits in the Account and under no circumstances can such withdrawals be made to credit the Account of another Player. If the Player deposits using multiple payment methods, the Company will distribute the funds so that the withdrawal amount meets the deposit amount for each payment method. Thereafter, any further funds can be withdrawn using a payment method of the Player’s choice so long as it has already been used to deposit funds into the Account. When it is not technically possible for whatever reason for one or more withdrawals to be completed, we may request an additional payment method and further documentation. All available withdrawal options are shown in the “Withdraw” section of Your Account on the Website.
13.4. A withdrawal request cannot be made while the relevant Service is being actively played.
13.5. Any payment transaction costs (e.g. bank charges) shall be borne by the Player.
13.6. The recommendation set forth in Article 12.7 of these General Terms and Conditions applied to withdrawals as well.
14. Maximum Payout Limits
14.1. As we explained in the “Important Information” section at the top of these General Terms, maximum payout limits apply to some of the Services. The maximum real money winnings that the Company is obliged to pay out in respect of any bet, stake or spin shall be limited to £250,000 in one day.
14.2. The above figure does not include any winnings from games whereby the jackpot increases each time the game is played but the jackpot is not won (so-called “Progressive Jackpot” games). Should You win a Progressive Jackpot game You will receive the amount that is displayed within the Progressive Jackpot game that You are playing at the time of Your win (subject to any rights we have under these Terms and Conditions to void winnings/withhold funds).
14.3. It is important that You understand that for the relevant Services (i.e. those that are subject to maximum payout limits) Your staking level may mean that You appear to have the opportunity to win more than the maximum amount set out in clause 14.1 above. In such circumstances, even where Your staking level may appear to give You the opportunity to win a higher amount, the Company shall only be obliged to pay to You up to the maximum amount specified in clause 14.1above.
15. Inactive Accounts
15.1. Should a Player fail to login to his/her Account for a period of 12 consecutive months, the Company shall send a notification email to the Player. If the Player fails to login within the next 30-day period, the Account shall automatically be classified as an “Inactive Account”.
15.2. Before classifying an account as an Inactive Account, the Company will attempt to return any outstanding real money balance to the Player using the last payment method used by the Player to deposit into the Account, except where these Terms and Conditions permit the Company to withhold payment.
15.3. Once an Account becomes an Inactive Account, for the next 18 months (or unless/until clause 15.4 below applies) the Company shall send to the Player an email containing information about his/her Account every month and shall deduct a monthly inactivity fee of £3 (the “Inactivity Fee”) from the remaining real money balance in the Inactive Account. During this period, the Player may reactivate his/her Account at any time by logging in or may contact the Company and request a payout. In the event of a payout request, the Company shall pay out the remaining real money balance except where these Terms and Conditions permit the Company to withhold payment.
15.4. If the Account remains inactive for more than 13 months and the Account balance is (or, following deduction of the monthly Inactivity Fee, reaches) £0, the Company shall be entitled to close the Account.
16. Liability
16.1. This clause will not, and is not intended to, exclude liability for anything which it would be unlawful for us to exclude. In particular (but without limitation) nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits, or seeks to exclude or limit, our liability for:

21. Complaint Handling and Timings
21.1. The Company endeavours to provide a high-quality service to its Players at all times. However, Players may for various reasons feel that they are not satisfied with the level and/or quality of service and may wish to file a complaint. Players may send an email to [email protected] or call Customer Support on the number shown here.
21.2. The Company encourages Players to raise complaints as soon as possible after the incident leading the complaint has occurred, and will deal with complaints in the manner set out in this Clause 21 provided the complaint is received within 12 months of that incident occurring. After this 12-month period has elapsed, the Company is not obliged to respond to or seek to resolve a Player complaint.
21.3. Subject to Clause 21.2 above, Customer Support will attempt to respond to a Player’s complaint as soon as is reasonably possible. If the complaint cannot be resolved by customer support, they will escalate it to other relevant departments for a solution. The Company will provide an outcome to the complaint within 8 weeks, unless the Player does not reply to communication promptly. In such cases the Company will ‘stop the clock’ until the Player responds to communications. If the complaint is not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of 8 weeks, a ‘deadlock’ email will be sent which will conclude the Company’s internal complaints procedure.
22. Player Dispute Resolution
22.1. In case a complaint is not resolved to the Player’s satisfaction following the complaint process outlined in clause 21above, the Player can refer the complaint to a third party for dispute resolution.

- phone (+44) 020 7347 5883
- raise a dispute on the IBAS website
22.3. The Player accepts that IBAS will not arbitrate on matters that are (or that during the arbitration process will become)subject to court action, or on matters which in IBAS’ opinion are more properly referred to the regulator as breaches of regulation. More information on the IBAS dispute rules can be found here.
22.4. IBAS will only arbitrate on a dispute in respect of which the Player:
- has previously raised with the Company, and documented in writing the substance of dispute;
- promptly makes available to IBAS, on request, all records on the subject of dispute and the relevant activity and all relevant correspondence;
- consents to the sharing by the Company of the Player’s personal data with IBAS for this purpose; and
- agrees to be bound by the ruling of IBAS, save that appeal against a ruling may be made to IBAS but only on the grounds that the dispute has been so seriously mishandled by IBAS’s ADR team as to result in manifest unfairness. The Player accepts and agrees that IBAS will incur no liability of any sort arising out of or in connection with its role as ADR.
22.5. For Players in Ireland and in the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Bailiwick of Guernsey (which includes the jurisdictions of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) manage complaints relating to the activities of licensees and certificate holders to ensure the integrity of the conduct of authorised eGambling games.
