The Player agrees to abide the basic rules of good practice, politeness, and courtesy, including:

- to remain polite and courteous with interlocutors;

- to avoid personal attacks.

The Player is informed that we can suspend or close an Account if the basic rules of politeness and courtesy are not complied with by the Player.

Regarding the forum, the Player agrees in particular:

- not posting the same message several times in different subjects/forums (spamming);

- to try to use the “Search” function before creating a new subject/topic which is likely to have already been answered in the forum.

In chat rooms it is strictly forbidden for Players to distribute/spread, or contribute to the dissemination of hateful, racist, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, homophobic or defamatory comments about other Players, the Gaming Website, Games or us, which are detrimental to public order and morals and which are generally derogatory or unpleasant, on any medium whatsoever.

Messages contrary to the spirit of the Gaming Website are also prohibited in chat rooms, such as but not limited to, messages stating positions or opinions of a political or religious nature and abusive, excessive and displaced messages, which try to mislead other Players about Games Rules. Stealing the name of another person, in particular posing as an employee, partner, affiliate, moderator, or a host of ECM and/or betFIRST, or any other company from Betsson Group is also prohibited.

Similarly, users will refrain from impersonating another user, a celebrity, or communicating under a false name, a false occupation or fake pseudonym. Users will not lie about their age (i.e. claim to be older than 21 years old), they will also not upload, post or transmit any content that has been affected by a computer virus or any other computer code. Users will not use any software designed to interfere with, distort, interrupt, destroy or limit the normal operation or functionality of the Gaming Website, Software or Games.

We reserve the right to delete forums and discussion spaces or any messages that go against these provisions.

It is expressly agreed that each Player remains nevertheless solely responsible for the content and messages they post on discussion forums. We may not in any circumstances be held liable for the content, (especially the illicit character of the content regarding the rules in place) or for any loss or damage consequent to the use of any content published, transmitted by instant messages or in any other way via the discussion spaces or forums. In the cases where our responsibility is sought due to a breach by the Player to fulfil their obligations under this provision or the statutory and regulatory provisions in force, we reserve the right to call upon the guarantor.

The above rules and these specific rules apply jointly. In case of any conflict between both rules, the most restrictive rule (from the player perspective) will apply.

8.1.3 Consequences of breach of the general Games Rules

In case of breach of the rules further described above, we can refuse, terminate or limit any stake placed in breach of these rules, we can cancel and/or refund any of Your winnings earned in breach of these rules and we have the right to suspend or terminate Your Account in accordance with Section User Account.

Without prejudice to other penalties that are listed in the Agreement, We can, in the case of a breach of the Agreement, the applicable legislation and/or the applicable Game Rules, take one or more of the following sanctions: suspension or withdrawal of the Player registration, suspension or exclusion of the User Account, denial of access and use of the Gaming Website, blocking the User Account, refund of funds (with the loss of any profits).

8.2 WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS

By way of the respect for all of the provisions set out in the current Agreement, we commit to carrying out at first request for Players the withdrawal of winnings, provided that (i) the balance of the User Account it positive, (ii) that there is no suspicion of fraud and (iii) that we have in our records a valid copy of your identity card or passport either directly or through ITSME.

All requests for withdrawal will be carried out after they have been confirmed by the Gaming Website. However, please take into account that it will take a few extra days (bank processing times) before your winnings are made available to you. Please ensure that you have provided us with all the necessary information regarding the validation of your payment.

Players have a variety of online methods to withdraw winnings. Players may choose from different methods to make a withdrawal such as bank transfer, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard...

In order to receive your winnings via your Skrill account or any other payment method (except Bank Transfer), you must first make at least one deposit using that particular e-wallet.

We will only instruct withdrawals to be made to the User Account to which you have made your deposits.

We will only confirm a withdrawal request from a player after the User’s identity and the User Account have been verified, and after having checked that the Player does not hold any outstanding debts with us. Any withdrawal request must be supported by the authentication of the Player. The right is reserved to carry out additional verification checks, such as requesting Player’s utility bills or any other documents, if deemed necessary. No withdrawal processing fees will be levied by us for regular withdrawal requests. However please note that your bank may debit fees for your withdrawals from your account. Fees charges for non standard withdrawals such as for Skrill, PayPal, Neteller or e-voucher suppliers such as Paysafecard will be debited directly from the user’s account. These fees may be dependent on factors such as the currency used in the account or the Player's place of residence. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it is possible that your bank or the payment solution that you use charges your account for transaction fees. Such fees are not dependent on us and we do not assume any responsibility for them. Should you require additional information, please contact the Customer Service of the payment method You used.

In the event where the Player’s Account information and the payment information does not coincide, we reserve the right to ask for proof or refuse a withdrawal request.

We reiterate that you are only permitted one Account per person.

Any Player found to be not respecting our general terms and conditions risks losing their winnings and may even face exclusion from the Gaming Website.

We reserve the right to pay all withdrawals by using the same payment method used by the Player to make deposits. Independent from the aforementioned, we will have the exclusive right to pay all winnings to all Players, at their sole discretion, using the payment method of their choice.

Due to possible money laundering implications, Players depositing on the Gaming Website must bet at least 20% of their deposit before requesting a withdrawal. We reserve the right to increase this percentage at any time.

8.3 RULES REGARDING RESULTS RECORDED BY US

In the event of discrepancies between results displayed on the Gaming Website and the results directly or indirectly recorded by us, particularly those on their computer server via the Software, the latter shall take precedence.

The Player acknowledges and agrees that only our computer files shall prevail.

Consequently, only the data and records obtained and/or maintained directly or indirectly by us will be considered as evidence and as contents of the rights and obligations in regard to us and the Player, whatever the medium.

8.4 TRANSACTIONS

Management of the User Account by the Player

The use of the User Account by the Player is strictly limited to the participation of online Games available on the Gaming Website. The supply of the User Account to the Player can only be used for that purpose, and excludes all other forms of use. In particular it may not be used as a bank account.

We commit to processing payments of all winnings won by the Player in compliance with the current Agreement.

The withdrawal of available assets in the Players User Account is subject to the existence and maintenance of a valid User Account. We also reserve the right to ask the Player for any information or documents it deems necessary to validate any deposits or any withdrawals.

The payment of any sum of money will be carried out by us only if the Player is not liable to pay us any money, and after inspection of good game play i.e. no cheating, fraud or any Software error or human error leading to a wrongful gain or loss for the Player.

We take no commission or charges of any nature whatsoever on deposits or withdrawals, regardless of the method of payment. On the other hand, we reserve the right to apply administration fees of 15% on transactions (withdrawals and deposits) which are not for the purpose of participating in Games (especially where consecutive deposits and withdrawals are made by the Player and a stake is not placed, or for any excessive use of the User Account, for example).

The Player states that they are aware that, according to the payment method used, the fees may potentially be taken from their bank or payment provider. We will in no case be held responsible. The Player is required to make themselves aware of any transaction costs that they are likely to be charged by their bank or payment provider in advance.

Player states that they are aware that any financial transaction is subject to standard bank delays. It is also the responsibility of the Player to make sure that all the necessary information to validate the transaction has been relayed to us.

We may in no circumstances be held liable for any payments made to a Player’s bank account that has been hacked.

8.4.2 Player Responsibility

We use private/public encryption methods to the best of our ability to ensure the confidentiality of Player passwords and secure access to the Software and Games. The Player is, however, entirely responsible for the proper use of their User Account and the confidentiality of their password.

The Player is forbidden from using payment methods or the User Account of a third party or another Player, even with the consent of the latter.

He/she expressly agrees not to object or cancel the payment with their bank of any amounts owed to us for any reason whatsoever. This applies for any amount that may have been credited to their account using their debit card. In other words, the Player definitively and irrevocably agrees not to oppose or refuse payment of amounts owed to us.

Moreover, the Player agrees that we are entitled to withdraw from the User Account any sums of money that they have received unduly as a result of fraud or malfunction of the Gaming Website or Games. The Player agrees to indemnify us for any loss it may suffer in connection with payments or Player payment errors or the incorrect/improper use of their Account.

If we suspect that a Player is not of the minimum age required to play, we will refund any money wagered to the Player as soon as possible. In addition, any winnings that the Player may have received will be confiscated until the Player has provided irrefutable proof that they are above the minimum age required to play.
