You should read the User Agreement in its entirety before registering, but we would like to draw your attention specifically to the following:

  • Who May Use the Services and Software: You must be 18 years or older and in the UK to use the Services and Software, as set out in section 3.1 and 3.3.
  • In What Instances Will We be Liable to You? There are certain losses for which we do not limit or exclude our liability (including your rights under law), as set out in section 4.2. Our responsibility for certain losses to you is excluded, as further set out in section 4.3. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your use of the Software or Services, your use of any link contained on the Sites, any content contained on any internet site linked to from the Sites or via the Services, or any modification to, suspension of or discontinuance of the Software or the Services. In addition, we will not be responsible for: (a) indirect or any other pecuniary or consequential loss; (b) losses that were not foreseeable by you and us at the time of you accepting the terms of the User Agreement; (c) business losses and/or losses to non-consumers (for example loss of business, loss of business information, business interruption and loss of profits); (d) losses caused by the equipment and devices you use to access the Software and/or Services; (e) any acts or omissions made by your Internet service provider or other third party with whom you have contracted to gain access to the server that hosts the Site; or (f) failure to provide the Software and/or Services or to meet any of our obligations under the User Agreement where such failure is due to Events Beyond Our Control.
  • Errors: From time to time technical errors or human/manual errors may occur which affect the Service, Site and/or Software. We refer to such events in the User Agreement as “Errors” and you can find some examples of Errors in section 5.1. In some cases, Errors may not be apparent or detectable by you and/or us. Bets affected by Errors will not count and any winnings and/or bonuses attributed to you as a result of an Error will not be payable to you, as set out in section 5.
  • Your Breach of These Terms and Conditions: You will be responsible for compensating us for any losses that we suffer as a result of any material breach of the User Agreement by you, as set out in section 6.
  • Age and Identity Verification: We may ask you for certain information and/or documentation in order to verify your age and identity, as further set out in section 3 and the Withdrawal Policy. If you are shown to be under the age of 18 or to have provided false or inaccurate information on registration, we will close your account and terminate the User Agreement, as set out in section 3.7. We may also undertake further verification steps (including in respect of your source of funds), as set out in sections 3.9 and 3.10 and the Withdrawal Policy.
  • Fraudulent or Unlawful Activity: If you undertake certain prohibited activities – which we refer to below as “fraudulent and unlawful activities” - we may take certain actions against you (including closing your account and retaining deposits, winnings or funds in your account), as set out in section 9.1. Examples of what may constitute fraudulent and unlawful activities can be found at section 9.2, which includes gambling with the source of crime, using any recognised betting techniques to circumvent the standard house edge in our games, circumventing our security measures and/or systems, using software aids and artificial intelligence, intentionally disconnecting from a game, collusion, chip-dumping, abusing the “sit out” feature, systematic abuse, Special Offer Abuse (which is described further below), depositing a large amount of funds but not playing, and failing to provide all documentation requested for the purposes of verification in accordance with section 3.
  • Fraudulent Payments: If we reasonably believe that a fraudulent payment is being made or received, or any other fraudulent activity has been undertaken, we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement, reverse any pay-out made and recover any winnings, as set out in section 11.4.
  • Special Offer Abuse: If we reasonably suspect that you may deceitfully take (or attempt to take) unfair advantage of, or exploit or manipulate (or attempt to exploit or manipulate), any of the promotions, bonuses or special offers that we may offer on any of the Sites from time to time (examples of which include: (i) opening multiple indistinguishable accounts to obtain a welcome bonus several times on this Site; (ii) only depositing during promotional periods in order to receive a bonus and not depositing at any other times; (iii) opening multiple accounts across our networks; (iv) where we have reasonable suspicion as to the truthfulness of your identity; (v) repeatedly playing free games but not playing paid-for games; (vi) purchasing all the tickets for a free game; or (vii) repeatedly depositing, cashing out and redepositing purely to gain a deposit related bonus), then we will deem this to be “Special Offer Abuse”, as set out further in section 9.2. In such circumstances, we may deny, withhold or withdraw from you any bonus, offer or promotion, either temporarily or permanently, or close your account and terminate the User Agreement, as set out in section 9.1.
  • Account Closure and Termination: In addition to those examples set out above, we may terminate the User Agreement and close your account immediately if we decide to discontinue the Service, you have breached any terms of the User Agreement, or we reasonably believe your account to be associated with an account that has been terminated for material breach of the User Agreement, as set out in section 15.2. We may also terminate the User Agreement and close your account if any of the information that you provide to us is untrue (as set out in section 8.2), if you attempt to access the Service via someone else’s account (as set out in section 10.11), if you breach any of the rules of use for the chat feature (as set out in section 18) or live poker (as set out in section 25.4), or if you undertake any abusive behaviour towards our employees (as set out in section 19.3).
  • Available Funds and Restricted Funds: If you have both Available Funds and Restricted Funds in your account, as set out in sections 12.9 and 12.10, any wager you make will use Available Funds first (other than when you are using free spins, FreePlay, jackpot vouchers, Tournament Tickets, Free Bet Tokens or Profit Boost Tokens).
  • Limit on Winnings from Use of Restricted Funds: If you wager on a casino game using Restricted Funds only, any winnings will be limited to $500/€500/£500 (as set out in section 12.11). From 14th June 2021, if you have not successfully made a real money deposit into your account and you wager on a casino game using Restricted Funds only, any winnings will be limited to $100/€100/£100 (as set out in section 12.12). These limits on winnings do not apply to verified progressive jackpot winnings derived from Restricted Funds.
  • Amendments to the User Agreement: We may change the User Agreement from time to time (including as a result of legal and regulatory changes, security reasons and changes to our Services). See section 2 for instances where we will notify you of this in advance.
  • Additional Rules: As set out in section 1.4, in addition to the Terms of Use, the following rules apply: (i) the Bonus Policy (which contains further information with regards to promotions, bonuses and special offers); (ii) the Withdrawal Policy (which contains information with regards to withdrawing from your bankroll, including minimum withdrawal limits); (iii) the Responsible Gambling Policy (which contains information regarding the responsible gambling tools available to you); (iv) the Tournament Rules (which contain information on playing in our Sit & Go poker tournaments); (v) the House Rules (which contain further information on playing in our poker tournaments); (vi) the Disconnection Policy (which contains information with regards to what happens when you are disconnected from a game or product while playing or betting); and (vii) the 888sport Sports Betting Rules (which contains further information with regards to our sports betting products, including the instances in which your bets will be void, and how bets will be settled in certain circumstances).
  • Minimum Withdrawal Limits: If you request to withdraw less than your entire account balance, minimum withdrawal limits apply, as set out in the Withdrawal Policy.
  • Chargebacks: You must not make or attempt to make any charge-backs, and/or deny or reverse any payment and you will reimburse us for any charge-backs, denial or reversal of payments you make and any loss suffered by us as a consequence, as set out in section 11.1.
  • Your Responsibility for Account Activity: Your account is solely for your use and benefit, and you shall be fully responsible for any activities undertaken on your account, as set out in section 8.4. You are responsible for the security of your username and password, as set out in section 8.6.
  • Our Decision is Final: Other than as a result of a technical failure which we are directly responsible for, the random number generator will determine the randomly generated events required in connection with the Services and where the result shown on the Software conflicts with this, the result shown on our server shall take precedence, as set out in section 14.1.
  • No Use of Third-Party Payment Methods: As set out in section 8.2, all details provided by you to us either during the registration process or at any time afterwards (including as part of any payment deposit transaction and/or with regards to your occupation details) must be true, current, correct and complete and, as appropriate, match the name(s) on the card(s) (as applicable) or other payment accounts to be used to deposit or receive funds in your account. You may only use a card or other payment account that is in your own name, and may not use one in another person’s name to deposit or receive funds in your account. We shall assume all payment methods used in connection with your account are in your name and you are lawfully entitled to use them. If that turns out not to be true, we will not have any liability to refund monies to you or any third party (subject to any other obligations we may have under applicable laws and/or regulations).

  2. We will notify you of any such amendment, update, modification or change by publishing a new version of the User Agreement on the relevant page of all Sites affected, or by notifying you by email.

  3. We advise that you check for updates to the User Agreement on a regular basis.

3. Who May Use The Services And Software

  1. The Services are intended to be used by players who play or register in the UK only. We will not be responsible for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Software and/or the Services by you.
  2. If we reasonably suspect that you are using the Software or Services from outside the UK, this may result in us terminating your account, freezing the funds in your account and providing your details to our licensors and/or the relevant authorities and you shall be liable for any damage or loss resulting therefrom.
  3. You must not download the Software or use the Services under any circumstances if you are under the age of 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18 years old and you download the Software or use the Services you will have materially breached the User Agreement and we will close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section ‎15 below.
  4. PLEASE NOTE: If you are under the age of 18 and gamble you are committing a criminal offence in the UK.
  5. Before you are able to deposit any funds into your account, wager any real funds or bonuses, or play any free-to-play version of any gambling game that we offer, we will take steps to verify that you are 18 years of age or older.
  6. Before you are able to gamble, we will also take steps to verify your identity by verifying (as a minimum) your name, address and date of birth.
  7. If on completion of these age and/or identity verification processes, you are shown to be under the age of 18 or to have provided false or inaccurate information on registration, you will have materially breached the User Agreement and we will close your account in accordance with applicable regulation and terminate the User Agreement. You will not be able to gamble until we are able to verify your age and identity as set out above.
  8. In order to undertake the age and identity verifications mentioned above, we typically use third party service providers. If, as a result of such verification, we are not adequately satisfied as to the results or we have reasonable suspicion that the identification information you have provided us is untruthful as to your real identity, we may request that you provide any one of the following: (a) government issued ID verification document (such as driver's license or passport); (b) proof of address (utility bill such as electricity or water bill, or a bank statement in your name, showing the address as registered on your account); or (c) proof that the payment method registered is yours (such as front and back copies of your debit card, with the middle digits and security CVV code covered). Such documents can be scanned and uploaded through the Cashier or a designated pop-up or sent to us by email, as shall be applicable from time to time. We may request that copies of such documents are notarized at your own expense, meaning that the documents are stamped and attested by a Public Notary, if, for example we reasonably believe that your document is not legitimate or valid. Should the documents fail our internal security checks – for example, if we suspect that they have been tampered with, or are in any way proved to mislead or misrepresent – we shall be under no obligation to accept such documents as valid, and under no obligation to provide feedback on the exact nature of our findings with regards to these documents. Any failure by you to provide the documentation reference above, will result in you failing the age and/or identity verification process.
  9. In addition to the age and identity verification processes set out above, at a later date we may also undertake further verification steps to ensure that all information we hold in respect of you is up-to-date and accurate, and to check your source of funds, financial standing, occupation and other similar details. We may also undertake verification steps to confirm that you are the registered holder of any payment method to which you seek to withdraw funds. As part of this process, you may be required to provide the following documentation: government issued ID verification document (such as driver's license or passport), proof of address (utility bill such as electricity or water bill, or a bank statement in your name, showing the address as registered on your account), proof that the payment method registered is yours (such as front and back copies of your debit card, with the middle digits and security CVV code covered) and/or financial documents to attest your source of wealth or source of funds (such as bank statements, monthly pay-slips, P60). Such documents can be scanned and uploaded through the Cashier or a designated pop-up or sent to us by email, as shall be applicable from time to time. We reserve the right to restrict your account including without limitation restricting the amount you may deposit into the account based on the information you provide, or if such information is not provided by you. We shall not be liable to you for any losses which you incur (i) prior to any such restriction being set; or (ii) on any other accounts you may have registered or which you reactivate whether prior or following any such restriction being set.
  10. We may also perform background checks on you, from time to time, for the purposes such as detection and prevention of fraudulent activities, establishing your source of wealth or source of funds and detection and analysis of activity suspected as related to anti-money laundering or terrorism financing. As part of this process, you may be required to provide, government issued ID verification document (such as driver's license or passport), proof of address (utility bill such as electricity or water bill, or a bank statement in your name, showing the address as registered on your account), proof that the payment method registered is yours (such as front and back copies of your debit card, with the middle digits and security CVV code covered) and/or financial documents to attest your source of wealth or source of funds (such as bank statements, monthly pay-slips, P60). Such documents can be scanned and uploaded through the Cashier or a designated pop-up or sent to us by email, as shall be applicable from time to time. We are under no obligation to advise you of on each occasion of that due diligence, verification, investigation and/or on-going monitoring takes place. Such activities may include the use of specific third party companies, who perform services as required, and publicly available information. If such due diligence, verification, investigation or on-going monitoring raises issues of concern, we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section ‎15 below.
  11. Whilst they are engaged by us and for a period of 24 months afterwards, none of our officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents or any other company within our group of companies or our suppliers, vendors or White Label Brand Partners are permitted to use the Services directly or indirectly. This restriction also applies to relatives of such persons and for this purpose 'relative' includes such person's spouse, partner, parent, child and sibling. In addition to this, neither Gibraltarians nor residents of Gibraltar are permitted to download the Software or use the Services.

4. In What Instances Will We be Liable to You?

    5. any acts or omissions made by your Internet service provider or other third party with whom you have contracted to gain access to the server that hosts the Site;
    6. failure to provide the Software and/or Services or to meet any of our obligations under the User Agreement where such failure is due to Events Beyond Our Control. 'Events Beyond Our Control' means any cause beyond our reasonable control which prevents us from providing the Software and/or Services or fulfilling any of our other obligations under the User Agreement and includes but is not limited to cyber-attack, fire, flood, storm, riot, civil disturbance, war, nuclear accident, terrorist activity and acts of God.

Subject to those rights set out in section 4.1 above, we do not promise that the Software and/or Services will be error-free, that defects will be corrected or that the Software or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or bugs or represent the full functionality, accuracy, reliability of the materials or as to results or the accuracy of any information obtained by you through the Services.
  6. We will not be liable to you for any loss of data resulting from an Error (as defined in section ‎5.1 below), to the extent that such loss is not caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill or for any damage to your computer equipment or software.
  7. Subject to the above, the Software and Services are provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. We make no warranty or representation, whether express or implied (whether by law, statute or otherwise), including but not limited to implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, completeness of the Services or the Software. In addition, we do not promise that the Software and/or Services will meet your requirements.
  8. Other than as described in this Section 4, we do not provide any guarantee in any way in respect of the Software or Services or with respect to statements made by advertisers on or via the Software and/or Services.

5. Errors, Voiding Bets and Winnings

  1. From time to time, technical errors or human/manual errors (whether made by us or by a party acting on our behalf) may occur which affect the Services, Site and/or Software (and in some cases, such errors may not be apparent or detectable by you and/or us until our verification checks have been completed) (each an “Error”), such as:
    1. systems and/or communications errors, delays, interruptions, malfunctions, bugs and/or viruses;
    2. malfunctions and/or errors relating to games, including in respect of the underlying mechanics and maths on which the game is based. This 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;
    3. errors in the odds and/or terms of a bet published for the purposes of betting, for example: (1) where the odds or terms of a bet are misstated; (2) 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); (3) where a bet offer includes an incorrect participant (for example an individual or team that is not participating in the relevant event); and/or (4) in respect of Live or In-Play Bets (as defined in the 888Sport Sports Betting Rules) if the odds offered by us are based on a score displayed on the Site which differs from the actual score at such time as provided by the relevant sports governing association, body or organization;
    4. errors in our acceptance of a bet, for example:
      1. where a bet by you is accepted by us in error;
      2. where a bet (other than a Live or In-Play Bet (as defined in the 888Sport Sports Betting Rules)) is accepted by us after the start of the relevant event; and/or
      3. in respect of Live or In-Play Bets (as defined in the 888Sport Sports Betting Rules): (i) where a bet is accepted by us at the wrong odds or an incorrect price due to the live coverage being delayed or otherwise faulty; (ii) where a bet is accepted by us on an in-play event which has already occurred; or (iii) where a bet 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 (soccer) 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
      4. errors in our settlement of a bet 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 bet, if we pay out winnings for a losing bet or wager, or if we distribute winnings that are not due to you.
  2. If there is an Error, we will attempt to resolve the Error with minimal impact to you (save that we are not required to provide any back up network and/or systems or similar services).
  3. If there is an Error: (a) any bet/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 bet/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 on the Site.
  4. 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.
  5. If you are for any reason able to withdraw any Erroneous Winnings, you will be liable to repay such amount to us promptly. We may deduct an amount equal to this amount against any money owed to you by us.
  6. Please see our Disconnection Policy for details of how game sessions and bets are treated for each of our different products detailed therein in the event that you are disconnected whilst playing a game or placing a bet.
  7. Poker tournaments may be cancelled due to (amongst other things) Errors occurring. Please see the House Rules and Tournament Rules for details of how buy-ins and entry fees are dealt with in the event of tournament cancellation.

6. Your Breach of These Terms and Conditions

  1. You will compensate us (and/or, where applicable, White Label Brand Partners) for any losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees, which such parties suffer as a result of any material breach of the User Agreement by you.
  2. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the User Agreement, in addition to any other remedy available to us, if you breach any of these terms and conditions of the User Agreement, we will be entitled to immediately close your account(s) and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below, and/or stop you from registering another account with any of the In House Brands or White Label Brands.

Depending on the outcome of these verification checks you may or may not be permitted to deposit further monies with the debit card previously used by you. Should any of the information that you provide to us be untrue, inaccurate, misleading or otherwise incomplete, this will be a breach of this User Agreement by you and we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section ‎15 below, as well as taking any other action that we are entitled to in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
  3. You will not deposit any loaned funds into your account with us.

If your username or password is “hacked” from your computer, due to any viruses or malware that is present on the computer that you access your account with, which do not result directly from our failure to use reasonable care and skill, this is your responsibility.

10. Your Account

  1. Your account is for your sole personal use only and shall not be used for any professional, business or commercial purpose.
  2. Monies held in your account shall not attract any interest.
  3. If you do not log in to your account for a consecutive period of 12 months for reasons other than self-exclusion in accordance with the Responsible Gaming Policy, your account will be considered a 'dormant account'. Before an account becomes a dormant account, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you via the most current contact details you provided to us. Following your account becoming a dormant account, for security reasons we will suspend the balance in the account at that time to ensure the balance is safe and secure. This means you may not see your balance in your account if you attempt to log-in. However your rights to the balance in your account are unaffected and , you can at any time contact us at support@888poker.com to request access to any positive balance in your account before the account became a dormant account. Following your request and following our completion of any identity verification checks we need to undertake, we will restore access to your account and such positive balance where we are reasonably able to do so, or if we are not reasonably able to restore access to your account, we will refund the positive balance directly to you.
  4. We may, at any time including after termination of the User Agreement, set off any positive balances in your account against any amount owed by you to us. By way of example, in the event that following the settlement of a bet in your account in relation to your use of our sports betting services a resettlement is required, we shall be entitled to deduct from your account any required amount of money.
  5. We may implement a rounding policy in relation to monies deposited by or cashed-out to members where currency conversion is involved. The effect of this policy shall be that deposit or cash-out amounts in currencies other than US Dollars might be rounded up or down on conversion to or from US Dollars. By way of example only, if according to the exchange rate a 10 EUR deposit is converted by us into 13.61 USD then your account will be credited with 14.00 USD. Details of the rounding policy in effect from time to time will be available to you at the point that any monies are converted.
  6. Any funds you deposit with us will be held in a bank account in our name (the “Designated Account”). The Designated Account is a separate account which only contains funds deposited by and due to players, which are to be used for the sole purpose to pay for players’ use of our services. The funds will be retained by us in the Designated Account until used for that purpose.
  7. Please note that the Designated Account meets the Great Britain Gambling Commission’s requirements at the medium protection level as we hold player funds separate from our funds in this account, which is designated as a client account and subject to specific instructions as to how these funds are to be treated. This means that steps have been taken to protect customer funds but there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid if we should at any time become insolvent. For more information about the protection of customer funds please see the Great Britain Gambling Commission website here.
  8. If we should at any time become insolvent and be put into liquidation, our assets and liabilities shall be handled in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar. Creditors shall be paid in accordance with the statutory order of priority.

Should you attempt to use the Services or Software by means of any other person's account, such act will be a breach of this User Agreement, and we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below.
  12. You may, at any time, only have a single account in respect any product (i.e. casino, poker or sports) which we offer. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that you may have a maximum of three accounts with us (one for 888Sport, one for 888Poker and one for either 888Casino or 777.com). If we have reason to believe that you have opened, or are associated with, more than one account for any product, any such additional account(s) will be classified as a "Duplicate Account(s)". Examples of being ‘associated with’ more than one account include (but are not necessarily limited to) using someone else’s account, using someone else’s account details, having multiple accounts at/under the same physical address and/or email address and/or IP address or otherwise using any other means of operating more than one account for a particular product). We are entitled, in respect of each Duplicate Account:
    1. to close the Duplicate Account, leaving you with only the original account (unless we have reason – for example if you have deliberately or fraudulently opened more than one active account – to close all your accounts);
    2. to treat all bonuses and/or free bets using the Duplicate Account, and all winnings accrued from any such bonuses and/or free bets, as void; and/or
    3. to void all future bets/wagers on the Duplicate Account (and all winnings accrued from such bets/wagers).
    If we are not able to fully recover amounts we have paid out to your Duplicate Account(s), we may recover any such amounts directly from your original account and/or from any other Duplicate Account held by you (or on your behalf).
  13. Please note that where your identity as the registered owner of a payment method cannot be confirmed without supporting documentation, you may be required to provide sufficient documents for us to verify this point before you will be permitted to make a withdrawal.

  4. If we reasonably believe that a fraudulent payment is being made or received, including use of stolen debit cards, or any other fraudulent activity (including any charge-back or other reversal of a payment), we reserve the right to close a user's account and terminate the User Agreement, reverse any pay-out made and recover any winnings. We shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or otherwise unlawful activity, and may employ collection services to recover payments. We shall not be liable for any unauthorized use of debit cards, irrespective of whether or not the debit cards were reported stolen other if required by laws and regulations which apply to us.

  1. We may offer promotions, bonuses or special offers from time to time which are subject to the User Agreement, the Bonus Policy and promotion-specific terms and conditions made available to you (“Promotion Terms”). In the event of a conflict between the User Agreement, the Bonus Policy and/or the Promotion Terms (to the extent that the terms apply to a bonus or special offer), the following order of priority shall apply: (i) Promotion Terms; (ii) Bonus Policy; (iii) User Agreement.
  2. We may vary or cancel any promotion, bonus or special offer at any time. Other than where necessary to prevent fraud or other similar unlawful behavior, any such variation or cancellation will not apply to you if you have already opted into the promotion, bonus or special, made a deposit in expectation of receipt of a bonus or other benefits offered, and/or commenced play in relation to the promotion, bonus or special offer prior to the date of the communication of the variation or cancellation.
  3. In the event that we reasonably suspect that a user of the Service is undertaking Special Offer Abuse (as further described in section ‎9.2(‎k)), then we may take one or more of the following actions:
    1. request that you provide any one of the following: (a) government issued ID verification document (such as driver's license or passport); (b) proof of address (utility bill such as electricity or water bill, or a bank statement in your name, showing the address as registered on your account); or (c) proof that the payment method registered is yours (such as front and back copies of your debit card, with the middle digits and security CVV code covered). Such documents can be scanned and uploaded through the Cashier or a designated pop-up or sent to us by email, as shall be applicable from time to time. We may request that copies of such documents are notarized at your own expense, meaning that the documents are stamped and attested by a Public Notary, if, for example we reasonably believe that your document is not legitimate or valid. Should the documents fail our internal security checks – for example, if we suspect that they have been tampered with, or are in any way proved to mislead or misrepresent – we shall be under no obligation to accept such documents as valid, and under no obligation to provide feedback on the exact nature of our findings with regards to these documents. Any failure by you to provide the documentation referenced above, will result in you failing the verification process,

  10. If you have both Available Funds and Restricted Funds in your account, the next wager you make will use Available Funds first.
