3. The removal of a balance from a Dormant Account does not affect your rights to the balance, we shall provide you with clear instructions on how to reclaim a removed balance from a Dormant Account via your MyAccount inbox.

CashOut provisions

1. Our CashOut facility is accessed via the CashOut Statement page in Your Account. Any bets which have this facility available to them (at that time) will be displayed along with the relevant amount. Please note that these amounts do not update automatically and so you will need to refresh the page. After refreshing the page, you will need to wait 10 seconds before refreshing the page again.

2. By using this facility, you are agreeing to close your bet at the amount offered to you. Once you have accepted the amount offered, the bet will not change, irrespective of whether the remaining selections subsequently win, lose or do not compete.

3. Our CashOut facility is available on various sports (currently horse-racing (both win and each way bets), football, golf and tennis), although it is not currently available on all markets. For pre-event markets, an icon will be displayed in the coupon alongside all markets which support this facility. It is also available on many bets placed ‘in-play’ and these will be clearly marked.

4. The amount you are offered to CashOut is based on your original bet, the status of any selections which have already completed and the current market price(s) of your unsettled selection(s). This may be greater than or less than your original stake.

5. With the exception of horse-racing (see paragraph 6 below), if your bet is eligible, an offer will become immediately available as soon as your bet goes ‘in-play’. Equally, If you place a bet ‘in-play’ and your bet is eligible, you will be able to CashOut immediately. For multiple bets, this will be as soon as the first leg goes ‘in-play’. Please note that you will not be able to use the facility until an event within your bet has started.

6. You will not be able to CashOut of a horse-racing single bet or a horse-racing in-running bet.

7. However, you can still CashOut of any horse racing multiple or accumulator between legs.

8. After choosing to CashOut any bet, the confirmation screen which then appears will display the newly updated value, which may have changed from that shown in the CashOut Statement page. The value displayed in the confirmation screen is the actual amount offered to you and will supersede any amount previously displayed in the CashOut Statement page.

9. On the confirmation screen, you are permitted a grace period of three seconds, during which any change in the odds used to calculate the amount will be disregarded and the amount you are offered will not change (unless any market involved within your bet becomes suspended – see paragraph 10 below). You may still choose to take the amount offered after more than three seconds have elapsed, but this will only be accepted provided the amount has not changed. If the amount has changed, whether increased or decreased, you will be offered a revised amount in the confirmation screen. We accept no responsibility for you not being able to accept a CashOut offer within the three second time period because you have a slow connection to the internet

10. If you choose to accept the CashOut offer and any of your selection is currently ‘in-play’, then the request will be subject to a seven-second delay.

11. If, at any stage during the process, a market involved within the bet you are attempting to CashOut becomes suspended, CashOut will not be permitted at that time. 12. After completing the CashOut process, the amount you have been offered will be returned to Your Account immediately. Your bet will have been settled and the final outcome of your bet will not affect the amount you receive.

13. Our CashOut facility will not be available in the following circumstances:

where any unsettled selection in your bet is not eligible for CashOut

a. where any market within the bet is suspended

b. where any market within the bet has closed but is awaiting settlement

c. where there are no longer any potential returns due from the bet, e.g. any selection in an accumulator has lost.

d. where the CashOut amount is calculated to be less than £0.01.

e. where your bet was placed using a free bet. Free bets cannot be used for CashOut purposes.

14. Where you have selected Singles within the multiples area of the bet slip, CashOut will not be available until the last selection has gone ‘in-play’.

15. CashOut may not be available if any selection included within the bet is a promotional price, e.g. a price push.

16. Any offers (e.g. Accumulator insurance), bonuses or consolations (for example on a Lucky15) will not apply where a customer has used the CashOut facility.

17. The CashOut amount is calculated using the current bet price of your selection(s). Therefore if we are unable to offer ‘in-play’ betting or if for any other reason betting is not available on a market involved within your bet, then an amount will not be possible to calculate and CashOut will not be offered.

18. We reserve the right to suspend or disable the CashOut facility at any time.

19. If you choose not to CashOut or you are unable (for whatever reason) to use the facility, your bet will be settled based on the outcome of the completed event(s).

20. If CashOut is completed on any bet where there is a Pricing Error or Technical Error (see section 21 (Errors and Omissions), the bet will be resettled at the amount which was correct at the time of your request.

Segregation of Funds

1. Our Licence from the Gambling Commission of Great Britain requires that we inform customers about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you in the event of insolvency. Under the current Gambling Commission’s insolvency rating system your funds are not protected. Customer funds are kept in accounts separate from company accounts, but they would form part of the assets of the business in the event of insolvency. This meets the Gambling Commissions requirements for the segregation of customer funds with a rating of: Not Protected.

2. Customer funds means the aggregate value of funds held to the credit of customers including, without limitation:

  2. Self-exclusion enables you to restrict access to Your Account for a set period of time.

Please note that while there is an active self-exclusion agreement in place on Your Account, you will not be able to place any bets and will not be allowed to reactivate Your Account. You can request to recommence gambling after the self-exclusion period has elapsed, but you will be subjected to a 24-hour cooling off period prior to Your Account being reactivated.
  3. Once you have self-excluded online from one of our Brands, you will be automatically excluded from all our online Brands (i.e. “Betfred”, “Oddsking”, “Totesport”, “Totepool” or “Tote”) provided you have used the same contact details on each account.  If you wish to also self-exclude in our shops, then you will need to go into one of our shops and ask a member of staff how you can self-exclude and they will go through the process with you.
  4. If you try to open other accounts with us during your period of exclusion we will do our best to detect and close them. In the event you do not choose to update us with any changes in your personal information and you manage to open a new account, we will not be held liable for subsequent decisions to gamble and your deposits and any winnings accrued may be retained by us upon detection. Where you opt to self-exclude, we strongly recommend that you self-exclude from all other gambling operators you have an account with.

In the event of such a breach, your right to use our Website and Services will cease immediately.

5. Save where we have not taken reasonable steps, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of our Website, software or content accessed through it.

Your Additional Responsibilities

It is up to you to ensure that you are legally allowed to access and use our Website from the location in which you are present at the time you use our Website or Services. It is also up to you to ensure that you know and comply with the law that applies to you and/or your country of residence.

These Terms are personal to you and you are not allowed to transfer any rights or obligations you may have under them.

Events outside our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under the Terms where it is caused by events outside of our reasonable control, including (without limitation) any telecommunications network service failures, power failures, failures in third party computer (or other) equipment, fire, lightning, explosion, flood, severe weather, industrial disputes or lock-outs, terrorist activity and acts of government or other competent authorities (a “Force Majeure Event”).

Our performance of the Services and provision of our Website is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues and during such time we will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event. We may also cancel all or part of the Service because of a Force Majeure Event.

Time Critical Events

Certain content we offer on our Website, such as multi-player games and those containing progressive jackpots, may be affected by the speed of your response to changes made in-game. We are not able to control or influence technical factors that affect the speed of your response (such as the performance characteristics of your connection to the internet or the speed of your device) and are therefore not responsible for anything that may be affected by such technical or physical factors.

For example, in Live Casino games such as Blackjack and Peer to Peer games such as Poker, where in both of these instances, actions subsequent to the initial bet are possible and where there is a set time in which to respond, connection speeds and/or device performance may compromise the ability to make subsequent actions and therefore, the chances of winning. In addition, in the exceptionally rare case where two players may simultaneously win a progressive jackpot, the order of the winners is determined solely by the timestamp applied to each transaction request as it is received by the server and the winning outcome belongs to the player whose transaction timestamp is first.

1. We very occasionally have errors which affect our Website and Services, we try our best to avoid them but it is not always possible. This section sets out how we define and deal with them.

2. We class the following as “Errors”:

a. where problems occur in the software or hardware used by us to provide our Services or Website (“Technical Error”).

3. Any bets or game play which is subject to an Error will be deemed void and all bets and game play cancelled, including multiples.

4. Where there is a dispute as to whether a Pricing Error has occurred, we will take into account the prices, lines and/or handicaps available in the general market at the time of the Pricing Error to establish the correct price, lines and/or handicap. Where the Pricing Error is noticed before the event is due to take place, we will use all reasonable endeavours to inform those of you who have placed a bet and allow you to choose whether to replace the bet at the correct price, line or handicap or to have your stake refunded.

5. Where a Technical Error occurs, we shall take all reasonable steps to remedy the problem as soon as practicable. Where it causes a game to be interrupted in circumstances where it cannot be restarted from exactly the same position (without detriment to you or other users) we will take all reasonable steps to treat you in a fair manner: which may include, adjusting your Deposit Balance and Bonus Balance to the position existing following completion of the last bet or game logged on our server immediately prior to the Technical Error occurring.

6. Any monies which are credited to your Deposit Balance and Bonus Balance, or paid to you as a result of an Error shall be deemed, pending resolution, to be held by you on trust for us and shall be immediately repaid to us when a demand for payment is made by us to you. Where such circumstances exist, if you have monies in your Deposit Balance and Bonus Balance we may reclaim these monies from those funds.

7. Where you have used monies (which have been credited to your Deposit Balance and Bonus Balance or awarded to you as a result of an Error) to place subsequent bets or play games, we may cancel such bets and/or withhold any winnings which you may have won with such monies, and if we have paid out on any such bets or gaming activities, such amounts shall be deemed to be held by you on trust for us and shall be immediately repaid to us when a demand for payment is made by us to you.
