8.3. It is your responsibility to comply at all times with your own local, national or state laws that relate to gambling.

8.6. We may terminate your account and refuse any use of our Services if we know or reasonably suspect that you have been using them whilst located outside the Permitted Jurisdictions.

 

9 What do I need to know about placing a Wager and using the Services?

9.1. We only accept bets, wagers, stakes and similar transactions (“Wagers”) made online (including via our mobile applications). Wagers are not accepted in other ways, including by telephone, email, post or fax, and will not be valid if received in such a way.

9.2. The following general terms apply to all Wagers. Specific terms also apply to poker, sports betting and games, as set out in the Poker Rules, Betting Rules and applicable Game Rules.

9.3. When a Wager is made, the corresponding amount is charged against your account and your real-money balance and/or bonus balance will be adjusted accordingly.

9.4. You will not be able to place a Wager using our Services unless you have available funds to cover the Wager.

9.5. It is important that you ensure that all details of any Wager are correct before you place it. Once we have accepted a Wager, you cannot change or cancel it.

9.6. You must exercise your own judgement in placing a Wager and you acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement or advice from us or our employees, agents or licensors in deciding to place a Wager.

9.7. We may refuse to accept any Wager in whole or in part for any reason at our discretion.

9.8. We may set maximum and minimum Wager amounts for specific games and sports, and these will be set out in the Poker Rules, Game Rules and Betting Rules, as applicable. We also impose limits on the maximum amount of winnings, which apply regardless of the amount you have Wager. Please see the Poker Rules, Betting Rules and Games Rules for more information.

9.9. We may implement certain limits on your account in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations and commitment to safer gambling. We may place maximum limits on the amount of each Wager you may place using the Services.

9.10. Wagers do not become valid until our systems confirm that the Wager has been accepted and until we have received payment.

9.11. If there is any disagreement as to the details of a particular Wager, save where the result of our negligence, fraud or manifest error, then our records shall always prevail. In the unlikely event of a disagreement between the result that appears on your screen and the game server, you agree the result that appears on the game server will prevail. The foregoing is subject to your rights under section 24.

9.12. For some games, we will pass you to a third-party system. These systems may not provide you with all of the reporting information you will find on our website. Should you require additional information, please contact our Customer Services.

 

10 What additional rules apply to ensure our Services are fair?

10.1. If there is reasonable evidence or reasonable suspicion of price or event rigging, or manipulation in relation to any event or game, or if the integrity of an event or game has been called into question, or if we have been made aware of irregular or unusual betting patterns, or there is any attempt to defraud us, we may:

10.1.1. suspend our offering on any event or series of events in any of its markets; and

10.1.2. void all relevant Wagers or withhold settlement of them until the outcome of any investigation is confirmed. If no fraudulent or unlawful conduct is found to have occurred, settlement of the relevant Wagers shall be completed.

10.2. If fraudulent or unlawful conduct is found to have occurred in respect of any event or series of events (by the appropriate sports governing bodies or by any other means), we may suspend any Wagers placed on such events, either by any individual identified as having misused non-public 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 or the event manipulation, and withhold settlement of such Wagers, pending completion of relevant investigations.

 

11 What happens if there is an error, malfunction or other issue which affects the Services? Will my Wager be void?

11.1. We try hard to provide a high-quality and reliable online gambling service but from time to time, errors – whether technical, human or otherwise - may occur which affect the Services (“Errors”). Certain kinds of Errors may not be apparent or detectable by you and/or us until our checks have been completed.

11.2. In this section we set out a description of the types of Errors that can occur and what the consequences are for any Wagers you have placed. Please also refer to section 20 which explains what liability we will and won’t accept for losses that may result when these (and other) things go wrong.

11.3. Errors may include the following:

11.3.1. systems and/or communications errors, delays, severe latency, technical failures, interruptions, malfunctions, bugs and/or viruses. We will refer to these Errors as “Interruptions”;

11.3.2. malfunctions and/or errors relating to games, including in respect of the underlying mechanics and maths on which the game is based. This type of Error includes an automated process failing to operate as designed or intended. It also includes 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) and/or published Game Rules. Such malfunctions and/or errors may affect, amongst other things, the rate at which winnings are paid out, the amount of winnings paid out and/or the likelihood of winnings being paid out. These Errors may or may not be immediately apparent to us or to you and they may only come to light as and when settlement instructions, game outcomes or winnings are investigated, and our checks have been completed. We refer to these Errors as “Malfunctions”;

11.3.3. errors in the odds and/or terms of a Wager published for the purposes of betting, for example:

  • where the odds or terms of a Wager are mis-stated;
  • where there is a “palpable error” or “obvious error” (being where we erroneously offer odds that are materially different from those available in the general market or clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring);
  • where a Wager offer includes an incorrect participant (for example an individual or team that is not participating in the relevant event); and/or
  • in respect of “live” or “in-play bets”, if the odds offered by us are based on a score or result displayed on the Services which differs from the actual score at such time as provided by the relevant sports governing association, body or organisation;

11.3.4. errors in our acceptance of a Wager, for example:

  • where a Wager placed by you is accepted by us in error;
  • where a Wager (other than a “live” or “in-play bet”) is accepted by us after the start of the relevant event;

11.3.5. in respect of “live” or “in-play bets”:

  • where a Wager is accepted by us at the wrong odds or an incorrect price due to the live coverage being delayed or otherwise faulty;
  • where a Wager is accepted by us on an in-play event which has already occurred; or
  • where a Wager is accepted by us after an event which is separate to the one that you are betting on has already occurred or is occurring and such separate event can in any way be considered as contributing to the result of the event bet on (for example, with regards to football, a free kick is awarded and you place a bet that the next goal to be scored will be by way of free kick); and/or

11.3.6. errors in our settlement of a Wager and/or our calculation and distribution of winnings, for example if we settle a fixed-odds bet using odds other than those at which you placed your Wager, if we pay out winnings for a losing Wager, or if we distribute winnings that are not due to you.

11.4. If there is an Error: (a) any Wager that you have made that has been affected by that Error will be void; and (b) any winnings or Bonuses (or any other similar benefit) (“Winnings”) awarded to you or paid to you which you would not have otherwise been awarded or paid (as applicable) but for that Error occurring (“Erroneous Winnings”) will be void. This means that your Wager will not count, and any Erroneous Winnings will not be payable to you by us. This will be the case whether or not the Erroneous Winnings are credited to your account. We may suspend betting markets whilst an Error persists.

11.5. Whilst we investigate whether any Winnings are Erroneous Winnings, we may temporarily suspend payment of such Winnings to you. If we find that such Winnings are not Erroneous Winnings, we will process the payment/credit of such Winnings. If we find that such Winnings are Erroneous Winnings, we will not pay/credit these to you.

11.6. If you are for any reason able to withdraw any Erroneous Winnings, you agree to repay such amount to us promptly. We may deduct an amount equal to this amount against any money owed to you by us.

11.7. 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 Services and report it to Customer Services immediately.

11.8. In the event of an Interruption, we will do our best to handle those in a way that is fair and does not systematically disadvantage our customers.

 

12 How do I make a deposit or withdrawal?

12.1. You can only deposit monies to, and withdraw money from, your account by using the payment methods listed on the website. We do not accept any other payment methods and we are only able to allow you to withdraw available funds from your account to a payment method you have used to make a deposit.

12.2. The payment card used must be in your own name. If not, this may result in your account being suspended and further identification documents being requested.

12.3. We do not offer credit. You cannot deposit amounts into your account using a credit card, including by way of any credit card registered with an online payment service (e.g. PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or other such providers).

12.4. You can make withdrawals from your account up to your current available balance, provided that:

12.4.1. all payments made into your account have been confirmed as cleared and have not been charged-back, reversed or otherwise cancelled;

12.4.2. we have completed our Verification Checks to our reasonable satisfaction. Where we have requested information from you to carry out these checks, any delay in providing this information may cause delay when withdrawing funds;

12.4.3. we are not required to withhold payments of your deposit and/or winnings by applicable law or regulation and have not been instructed to do so by a regulator; and

12.4.4. there is currently no ongoing, or completed, investigation: (a) into an Error, Interruption or Malfunction (as those terms are defined in section 11 above) involving the Services which you have used; or (b) where we have reasonable grounds to believe you may have engaged in a Prohibited Conduct (as such term is defined in section 23.3 below).

12.5. Withdrawals are also subject to the following terms and conditions:

12.5.1. for some payment cards, we may not be able to pay funds back to these if non-refundable. In these circumstances, we will pay the funds to another registered refundable method; and

12.5.2. for Visa debit cards and other third party payment processing websites (such as PayPal), there may be limits on withdrawals put in place by the relevant payment service provider from time to time. You should contact Customer Services in the event that you wish to withdraw funds in excess of these limits.

12.6. You can only remove a payment method from your account if the net deposit (deposits less withdrawals) on all payment methods is zero or less. If you no longer have the payment method that has net deposits on your account, then please contact our Customer Services for appropriate security checks. In some cases, we may require additional documentation confirming that the payment method is no longer active before we can remove it.

12.7. You may only make deposits and withdrawals into your account for the purpose of our Services in good faith and for the purpose for which they are provided.

 

13 Do you charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals?

13.1. We never charge fees on withdrawals. A transfer will only be made to an account in your name and such account must be held in a Permitted Jurisdiction (as such term is defined in section 8.1 above). Where you are requesting a bank transfer for the first time, we will require a statement showing the name, address, sort code and account number.

13.2. Before making a deposit or withdrawal, you should check with your bank, financial institution and/or payment service provider if they will apply any charges. We do not accept any responsibility for fees or charges applied by third parties.

 

14 What else do I need to know about money held in my account?

14.1. Interest is not payable on account balances.

14.2. You are responsible for reporting or declaring any funds withdrawn, including winnings, if such reporting is required by local law, tax or other authorities.

14.3. 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 suspected or fraudulent payment or any other fraudulent activity, we may suspend or close your account, reverse any withdrawal made and recover our loss, and/or any winnings attributable to such activity.

14.4. Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Rank Group Plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Funds at least equal to the value of active customer balances are held in a designated bank account separate from our business accounts to ensure that there are always sufficient funds for customers to withdraw their balance at any time. We hold such sums on trust for our customers for the sole purpose of enabling them to either withdraw their balance or to place wagers on our website. This means that steps have been taken to protect your funds in the event of insolvency but that there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid. This meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the medium level of protection.

 

15 What happens to funds in my account if I stop using the Services?

15.1. We treat an account as “dormant” if you do not log-in for 12 months or more.

15.2. If you have a positive balance in your account, we may attempt to contact you using the contact details you have provided to us at least 30 (thirty) days before your account becomes “dormant”. You may reactivate a dormant account by logging into that account at any time.

15.3. All funds held in your account balance whilst classified as dormant will be subject to the same level of protection as those held in an active account. No funds will be deducted from your account whilst it is classified as dormant, nor are your rights as a consumer affected by a dormant status.

 

16 What terms apply to competitions and promotional offers?

16.1. We may offer certain competitions and promotional offers from time to time. These are subject to the Terms of Use and any specific terms relating to such offers that we publish from time to time (“Promotion Rules”).

16.2. All offers can be restricted to particular customers and do not have to be generally offered to all customers.

16.3 We may withdraw, amend or cancel any competition or promotional offer at any time and without notice. If we do so, any offers that you have opted in for or otherwise accrued will still be valid in accordance with the relevant 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. Restrictions may be placed on your account to comply with regulatory obligations, which may include Safer Gambling requirements resulting in a limitation on your ability to participate in bonuses and promotions, as well as to receive marketing materials in relation to offers. Should this be the case, we will not be responsible if your ability to complete qualification requirements, or redeem the reward from a promotion, is affected. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will provide notice of any withdrawal, amendment or cancellation of an offer.

16.4 If as part of a competition or promotional offer we credit you with a bonus, free bet, free spin token, or similar reward (a “Bonus”), then the following rules apply (in addition to the Promotion Rules):

16.4.1 the wagering requirements for the Bonus will be set out in the promotion or competition rules;

16.4.2 you can only use the Bonus for placing wagers via this website and/or its associate mobile application;

16.4.3 you can only spend the Bonus after you have spent the cash in your account;

16.4.4 when placing a Wager that uses a combination of cash and Bonus funds, any winnings generated from that Wager will be credited proportionately to your cash and Bonus balances;

16.4.5 if you do not satisfy the minimum wagering requirements within the timescale specified (or if no period is specified, 30 days after the Bonus was added to your account) or seek to withdraw any funds prior to doing so, then the Bonus balance (including winnings from Bonus wagers) will be forfeited; and

16.4.6 if you have more than one active Bonus then the wagering requirements may be combined (as to wagering target and/or expiry). If in any doubt, please contact Customer Services for confirmation.

 

17 Can you close my account?

21 What safer gambling tools are available? How can I self-exclude?

21.1. We are committed to safer gambling and have a number of self-help features to help you manage your gambling.

21.2. Should you experience any issues controlling your gambling, we encourage you to use the features available, which include setting a net deposit limit and reality checks (such as an hourly reminder of time spent on the website), taking a temporary break from using the Services, and self-excluding and closing your account for a set period of time.

21.3. We urge caution with the use of ‘windfall’ amounts (such as a compensation payment, inheritance or pension pot). Where such a sum is needed to provide ongoing financial support, please do not gamble with it. Further details are available here.

21.4. There are many internet filtering software choices available, and you can view a selection of solutions, as recommended by GamCare, by visiting https://www.gamcare.org.uk/self-help/blocking-software/.

21.5. If you wish to take a temporary break from gambling using the Services, you can choose a break period from one day up to six weeks. You will not be able to access your account and you will be prevented from gambling until your break period has finished.

21.6. If you wish to self-exclude from gambling using the Services, it will be for a minimum of six months. You will not be able to access your account and you will be prevented from gambling. Your self-exclusion will apply to all of our websites and associated mobile apps. We will undertake reasonable checks to identify and block any accounts which we find under your name, date of birth and address, however you should notify us if an account may exist which does not match these exact details. Only once the requested period of self-exclusion has passed, may you apply for reinstatement.

21.7. Where you opt to self-exclude, we strongly recommend that you self-exclude from all other gambling operators you have an account with.

21.8. The take a break and self-exclusion features are available in the Responsible Gaming section of “My Account” or by contacting Customer Services.

21.9. During the period in which you take a break or are self-excluded, you must not attempt to re-open your account or try to open new accounts.

21.10. In addition to our own self–exclusion facility, we are registered with the self-exclusion service provided by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited (“GAMSTOP”). You can find out more details about GAMSTOP by visiting www.gamstop.co.uk.

21.11. Your GAMSTOP self-exclusion may take a number of days in order to become active with us. We will take all reasonable steps, whilst your GAMSTOP self-exclusion is “active”, to prevent you from accessing your online accounts, or opening new online accounts.

21.12. We can only enforce your GAMSTOP self-exclusion based on the information you provide to GAMSTOP during registration. You accept that GAMSTOP may not be as effective in circumstances where it has received inaccurate, incomplete and out-of-date information or where there are differences between account details. GAMSTOP may also not be as effective when you attempt to work around the exclusion measures GAMSTOP has put in place. It is your responsibility to provide truthful and accurate details to GAMSTOP, consistent with those which you use/have used to set up any online accounts with us.

21.13. Subject to sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, we will not be liable to you or any third party if, whilst you are self-excluded, you continue to gamble using our Services, and you accept that we have no responsibility or liability whatsoever if you continue to gamble or are able to gamble with us or any third party, where:

21.13.1. you have sought to circumvent a GAMSTOP self-exclusion by using different details or by registering additional accounts;

21.13.2. where you have changed any of the registration details or inputted your details in a different manner to the way they were registered as part of your self-exclusion agreement;

21.13.3. if you continue to gamble with us between your self-exclusion registration with GAMSTOP and us receiving notification and applying such self-exclusion on our Services;

21.13.4. where you have registered a new account when the GAMSTOP service is unavailable, inaccessible or not working properly for whatever reason;

21.13.5. where you have sought to take advantage of the GAMSTOP service being unavailable, inaccessible or not working properly; or

21.13.6. for any other reason outside of our reasonable control, including where the operating systems utilised by GAMSTOP fail to identify you and/or your online accounts as being subject to self-exclusion when you attempt to use our Services. Please also see GAMSTOP’s Terms of Use at: https://www.gamstop.co.uk/terms-of-use.

21.14. It is ultimately your own responsibility to uphold a self-exclusion, but we will use all reasonable efforts to stop you playing on the account from which you have excluded. However, despite these efforts by us, should you manage to open a new account by using different personal details of any kind, we will not be responsible for any losses you may subsequently incur as a result of your circumvention of the self-exclusion process, and we reserve the right to withhold any winnings.

21.15. We will not pay out any winnings generated from deposits originating from a payment method we reasonably believe to belong to a member who is self-excluded from any account with us. Subject to our other rights and obligations under the Terms of Use, we may refund to you any amounts that you have erroneously deposited during a period of self-exclusion.
