8.1

We do not offer any form of credit at any time.

If you have withdrawn funds that do not belong to you prior to us becoming aware of the error, the mistakenly paid amount will (without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available at law) constitute a debt owed by you to us. In the event of an incorrect crediting, you are obliged to notify us immediately by email.

9. CURRENCIES AND CURRENCY ARBITRAGE

Players must register and play in British Pounds (GBP). Players are strictly prohibited from utilising the Website and its systems to facilitate arbitrage through Currency Exchange transactions. Where we deem in our sole discretion that a player has deliberately used the aforementioned systems for financial gain through arbitrage, any gains will be forfeited and deducted from the player’s balance without warning or notification.

10. JACKPOT WINS

Jackpot wins: We may choose to make available to you pooled Progressive Jackpots. All Progressive Jackpot winnings will be subject to our confirmation. Our decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Progressive Jackpot Accuracy: Should you win the pooled progressive jackpot with this Website; an automated pop up will notify you that you have won the jackpot. The pooled jackpot amount may be in another currency and therefore the actual final amount payable to you may be smaller due to the foreign exchange rates between the time of the win and when the winnings are paid out. It should also be noted that any Jackpots in excess of £250,000 may take up to 30 days to be paid to the player. We use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Progressive Jackpot value displayed in a game matches the value on the game server. However, it is the Progressive Jackpot value on the server that is used when the Progressive Jackpot is paid out. A small discrepancy may arise due to the delay between the initial Progressive Jackpot being displayed to you and the Progressive Jackpot that is actually won and paid out. Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible for the Progressive Jackpot to appear to be won by more than one player during the delay period mentioned above. If more than one player appears to win a Progressive Jackpot simultaneously then the player recorded on our servers and/or our game or service providers’ servers as having won the Progressive Jackpot first shall be the recipient and the subsequent players(s) shall win the value of the Progressive Jackpot when reset. In the extremely unlikely event of the server recording a win truly simultaneously, we may share the Progressive Jackpot equally between the winning players.

We will not tolerate any aggressive, abusive, threatening, defamatory or other offensive language or behaviour towards our members of staff.

To help us consider the issue, it’s important that we understand your concern, so we may ask you some questions about it – such as what happened and when. The Support Host will log the call/message and make notes on their response.

Stage 3: Escalation If you remain dissatisfied, or if escalation to a Team Leader is not appropriate, the matter may be escalated to the Complaints Team, at which time your enquiry will be either recorded as a “complaint” (that being a non-gambling transaction complaint), or, where the matter relates to a wagering (betting) or gaming transaction(s), a “dispute”.
