Where We are unable to successfully cash out for whatever reason and after advance notification to Your registered email address We shall, after 30 days of being inactive start charging a monthly administration fee of £3.00 (the ‘Inactive Account Fee’). The Inactive Account Fee shall continue to be charged until the earlier of: (i) Your Account being reactivated by You logging on and depositing or placing a cash wager or bet; (ii)Your balance reaching £0.00;

Once Your Account has been deemed Inactive We will be entitled to charge You an administrative fee (the 'Inactive Account Fee'). We may deduct an amount up to the Inactive Account Fee amount from Your Account Balance on the day following the end of the Grace Period and then every thirty (30) days thereafter in accordance with the Inactive Account Fee Schedule.

All amounts You withdraw are subject to the transaction limits and withdrawal methods that We notify You of before cashing out.

This may have a detrimental impact on Your credit rating and will require Us to share Your personal information (including Your identity) with appropriate agencies and to report any criminal or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
We reserve the right to void and withhold any or all winnings made by any person or group of persons and to void and withhold any Standard Player Points gained by any person or group of persons where We have reasonable grounds to believe that said person or group of persons is acting or has acted in liaison in an attempt to defraud or damage Us and/or the Group and/or the Facilities and/or the Platforms in any way.

In the event of such error or any system failure or game error (a divergence from the normal functioning of the game logic for whatever reason) that results in an error in any odds calculation, charges, fees, rake, bonuses or payout, or any currency conversion as applicable, ('Error') We will seek to place all parties directly affected by such Error in the position they were in before the Error occurred. The burden of proof of technical fault or error is with Us. You must not knowingly take advantage of a technical or administrative error when making and/or receiving payments.
- We reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were the subject of any such Error and to take any money from (or add any money to) Your Account relating to the relevant bets or wagers, to put You and Us in the position we would have been if the Error had not occurred. If there are insufficient funds in Your Account to do that, We may demand that You pay Us the relevant outstanding amount relating to the applicable bets or wagers. If we determine (acting reasonably) that You have knowingly taken advantage of an Error to gain an unfair advantage in breach of Section 14.1, We reserve the right to consider this activity to be subject to Section 16 (Forfeiture & Account Closure) of these Terms and Conditions.
- Where an error or IT failure affects a pooled prize fund, we will take reasonable steps to restore participants to the position they would have been in had the error or failure not occurred including, where appropriate, by distributing the prize fund equitably between all affected participants.
15. SECURITY REVIEW

- Customers based in the United Kingdom may use the online “GAMSTOP” Self-Exclusion Service and will have the option of excluding from this Platform or all Platforms operated by the Entain Group.
- In addition to our own internal self-exclusion facility detailed in this section 20, we are registered with the self-exclusion service provided by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited (“GAMSTOP”). Successfully registering with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will prevent you from accessing all online gambling websites and apps run by companies licensed as members of the service. You can find out more details about the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service by visiting www.gamstop.co.uk.
- In circumstances where You successfully register to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service, We will take all reasonable steps, whilst Your self-exclusion is “active”, to prevent You from accessing Your online accounts, or opening new online accounts, using our online gambling website and apps.
- We are only able to operate self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service on the basis of information You provide to GAMSTOP as part of Your registration to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service. We will not be responsible for any failure on Our part to spot any errors made by You or GAMSTOP when providing this information.
- You are reminded that it is in Your interests to provide GAMSTOP with truthful and accurate details, consistent with those which You use/have used to set up any online accounts with Us. It is Your responsibility to keep the information provided to GAMSTOP up to date. We will not be responsible for You failing to keep this information up to date.
- The GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent You from accessing those online accounts that match the details You have provided to GAMSTOP as part of Your self-exclusion application. Similarly, the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent You from opening new online accounts where the personal information You provide to Us matches the details You have provided to GAMSTOP as part of Your self-exclusion application. We will not therefore be responsible for failing to prevent access to Your online accounts or prohibiting the opening of new online accounts, in circumstances where inaccurate, inconsistent and/or incomplete information is provided to Us and/or GAMSTOP.
- Please note that under the Terms of Use You agree with GAMSTOP, Your self-exclusion will be activated as soon as possible after Your application has been processed. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to do this within 24 hours, this cannot be guaranteed. However, once the self-exclusion has been successful and is activated on GAMSTOP’s operating systems, the self-exclusion will take effect on Our operating systems (albeit You are strongly advised to also inform Us of your participation in the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service – please see paragraph 5.8 below).
- To ensure that You get the full benefit of the self-exclusion facility available under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service, You are advised to also contact the online gambling operators You use to confirm that Your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful. You can do this by Contacting Us.
- When contacting Us to confirm that Your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful, please confirm the following information (You are reminded that the information You provide to Us and GAMSTOP must be accurate, consistent and complete to ensure You can fully benefit from the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service):

- online account username;
- address; and
- date of birth.
- After expiry of the minimum exclusion period agreed between You and GAMSTOP, You will be required to contact GAMSTOP direct to arrange for Your self-exclusion to be deactivated. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to deactivate Your self-exclusion as soon as possible, this cannot be guaranteed. Please note that We cannot process deactivation on Your behalf. All requests to GAMSTOP for deactivation of Your self-exclusion will also be subject to a 24 hour “cooling-off” period. Once Your self-exclusion has been successfully deactivated, You will be able to access Your online accounts/open new online accounts with Us. In circumstances where You do not contact GAMSTOP to deactivate Your self-exclusion after the period of exclusion You have agreed with GAMSTOP expires, Your self-exclusion will continue for a further 7 years, after which the self-exclusion will be deactivated.
- You agree not to attempt to open new online accounts, log into any of Your existing online accounts, or in any other way try to circumvent GAMSTOP’s or Our operating systems/mechanisms for the duration of your self-exclusion. The GAMSTOP self-exclusion service is intended to assist You with responsibly managing Your online gambling with Us. As confirmed in GAMSTOP’s Terms of Use, the service is not intended to function as a replacement for willpower, is not “foolproof” and we cannot therefore guarantee that it will always result in You being denied access to Your online accounts, or refused when applying to open new online accounts.
- Having implemented reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure that whilst You are self-excluded under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service You cannot access an existing online account or open a new online account with Us, We cannot be held liable to You or any third party if You are able to continue to gamble using Our online gambling website and/or apps (this will also include opening/accessing accounts in-shop in circumstances where these are linked to Your online accounts).
- In addition, in no circumstances will We be liable to You or any third party if You are able to access Your online accounts or open new online accounts during a period of self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service for reasons outside of Our reasonable control. This will include circumstances where the operating systems utilised by GAMSTOP fail to properly and/or instantaneously identify You and/or Your online accounts as subject to self-exclusion when You attempt to use Our online gambling website and/or apps.
