SO… The Deep State have finally got around to managing more directly (via hotshot lawyers) the funds going through betting accounts.
In essence, the following makes sure that only small and sporradic amounts can be drawn OUT of betting accounts “Winnings” if you will, whilst almost every other kind of transaction - is likely to result in you losing your money, even if you have that dreamed-of winning streak…
Here’s the new T&Cs of online outfit bet365 - which as you can see in their own text - makes it possible in a variety of different ways for them to confiscate YOUR money, winnings, stakes, or deposits - whilst barriers are put in place to prevent you from drawing down much of their money - pretty much full stop.
“Money Laundering”? - It would seem that such fancy legalese is only to benefit any deep state operation designed to milk money from millions of people’s bank accounts, perhaps one day planned to be some kind of “operation goldeneye” at some point in the future… (Theory)
Here’s the list… Feel free to comment on what one or more of these “T&Cs” seem outrageous to you…
Me?
I object to the whole damned lot, and have already boycotted my account, having refused to “consent” to such utter legalised racketeering garbage!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU MOVE ON TO THE REMAINDER OF THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Everything contained in these Terms (see Section 1.2 below for how “Terms” is defined) is important and should be read by you, but we would like to draw your attention in particular to the following Sections in these General Terms and Conditions (“General Terms and Conditions” is defined in Section 1.2 below) and the important terms and conditions that they contain. These Sections in particular have the potential to affect your interests. It is important that you read the Sections themselves and not rely on the short summaries below:
By registering for an Account (defined in Section 4.1 below) and/or accessing or using any part of the Services (defined in Section 1.1 below) you are entering into a legally binding contract. That contract is between you and us and it incorporates all the terms, conditions, rules and documents forming the “Terms” (explained and defined in Section 1.2 below). Please read Section 1 carefully.
You must be 18 or over and meet certain other eligibility criteria and requirements to register for an Account and use the Services. Please read Section 4 carefully.
We will need to complete our Verification Checks (defined in Section 6.1) before you can do certain things in connection with your Account. We may also run Verification Checks on an ongoing basis after your Account has been opened. If we’re unable to complete our Verification Checks to our reasonable satisfaction, we will have the right to suspend and, ultimately, to close your Account, and we may pass on any necessary information to the relevant authorities. Please read Section 6 carefully.
You may only register for one Account. If we discover that you have opened and/or operated more than one Account (which we call a “Duplicate Account”), we will have certain rights, including the right to close your Duplicate Account(s) (and in some circumstances your original Account too) and to void Transactions (defined in Section 4.1 below), Bonuses (defined in Section 13 below) and/or winnings. Please read Section 8 carefully.
Withdrawing your funds: You will usually be able to withdraw your available balance at any time, but there are certain circumstances in which we will be entitled to delay or withhold withdrawals. Please read Section 11carefully.
Maximum winnings limits apply to our Services: This means that, regardless of the amount you stake and no matter how much you appear to have ‘won’, you will only be entitled to receive up to the maximum winnings limit. Please read Section 11.5 carefully.
We do not have to accept your bets: We are entitled to decline to accept all, or part, of any Transaction (defined in Section 4.1). If we decline all or part of a Transaction, we may offer a different/amended Transaction (e.g., on different odds) in place of the declined part of the Transaction, which part you are free to accept or decline as you wish. We do not have to tell you our reasons for taking these actions. Please read Section 12.1 carefully.
We may suspend markets/settlement and/or declare Transactions void in certain circumstances: such as, for example, where the integrity of an event has been called into question, or we suspect that the Transaction has been affected by match fixing, price or pool manipulation, other forms of cheating or other suspicious activity. Please read Section 14 carefully.
We will not tolerate fraudulent activity, cheating or any other “Prohibited Activities” (defined in Section 16 below). If you do any of these things, we will have certain rights, including the right to suspend and, ultimately, close your Account, to void relevant Transactions and/or to withhold funds (including winnings). Please read Section 16 and Section 17 carefully.
Errors, Malfunctions, and Interruptions: If any part of the Services suffers an Error, Malfunction, or Interruption (as each of those terms are defined in Section 22 below) we have certain rights including (but not limited to) the right to suspend the affected event/market while we investigate and/or void affected Transactions. This includes circumstances where the problem is not obvious to you or us and is only discovered by us when we check or verify the result of a Transaction and/or gameplay retrospectively. Please read Section 22 carefully.
In certain circumstances, our liability to you is limited or excluded: When you access and use the Services, it is important that you understand what we are liable for, when limits to our liability will apply (and what those limits are), and what we are not liable for. It is also important that you understand that we will not be liable to you under these Terms, and nor do we owe you a duty of care, in respect of our compliance or otherwise with any regulatory obligations that we may be under from time to time, including those relating to ‘safer gambling’, ‘social responsibility’ or similar. Please read Section 23 carefully.
Your obligation to compensate us. You may be required to compensate us if we suffer losses because you have engaged in a Prohibited Activity. Please read Section 24 carefully.
We may sometimes take actions in relation to your Account for legal and/or regulatory reasons including where required to do so by the terms of our licence and/or a regulatory authority. These actions include running certain Verification Checks, restricting/closing your Account, and preventing you from taking up Bonuses and/or completing Bonuses. Please read Sections 6, 13.5, and 17.4 carefully.

7.2 You must keep your Login Credentials secret and confidential at all times and never share them with someone else.
7.3 You are responsible for all Transactions made via your Account and any other activities taking place on/via your Account where your Login Credentials have been entered correctly and/or if your Account has been accessed via Touch ID, Fingerprint log in, Face ID, Passcode, ‘Keep me logged in’, or any similar facility on your device/s (and in each of these cases, whether or not authorised by you).
7.4 We recommend that you change your Login Credentials regularly. If, at any time, you suspect that someone else is aware of your Login Credentials, you should change them immediately via your Account settings. If you forget part or all of your Login Credentials, please Contact Us.
7.5 If you activate Touch ID, Fingerprint log in, Face ID, Passcode, ‘Keep me logged in’ and/or any similar facility on your device/s and you suspect that someone else could be accessing your Account via any of these facilities, you should immediately disable the relevant facilities from your device/s and Contact Us.
7.6 If (a) we have authorised you to nominate a specific person to access your Account on your behalf (for example to assist you with a visual or other impairment) and (b) we have expressly approved that person following satisfaction of our verification checks and any other conditions we may have imposed, you will then be permitted to allow that person to access your Account provided that you will be solely responsible for all Transactions and other activities made or placed by such person using your Account details regardless of whether such Transactions/activities have been authorised by you or not.
7.7 Please note that cardholder details and any other sensitive data should never be sent to us by unencrypted email. If you need assistance with sending encrypted emails or sending us sensitive data please Contact Us.

- Duplicate Accounts
8.1 You may open only one Account. If we discover or have reason to believe that you have opened more than one Account, each such additional Account will be classified as a “Duplicate Account”. We are entitled, in respect of each Duplicate Account:
(a) to close such 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);
(b) to treat all Bonuses and/or free bets using the Duplicate Account (and if applicable the original Account), and all winnings accrued from such Bonuses and/or free bets, as void; and
(c) to void all unsettled and/or future Transactions on the Duplicate Account (and all winnings accrued from such Transactions).
- Dormant Accounts
9.1 We will treat your Account as “Dormant” if you do not log in for a consecutive period of at least 365 days.
9.2 If the balance in your Account is zero at the time it is classified as Dormant, it will be closed and no fee will apply. However, if you have a positive balance in your Account, we will attempt to notify you using the details you provided during your registration process (or as later updated by you) and return the balance back to your last payment method used to deposit into your Account (where possible), except where these Terms entitle or require us to withhold payment.
9.3 For security reasons, we may need to confirm that the details of your last payment method are still correct prior to us being able to return the balance back to it. Should it not be possible to return the balance back to your last payment method, you will be required to provide details of a bank account in your name that we can verify and return the balance to.
9.4 If your Account remains Dormant then, after a minimum period of 30 days following our first attempt to notify you as described above, we will start to deduct a monthly “Administration Fee” of £2 (or currency equivalent) from your Account balance.
9.5 The Administration Fee will continue to be deducted from your Account balance on a monthly basis until the earlier of: (a) your Account balance reaching zero (when we will close your Account); (b) you withdrawing your balance in full; or (c) you ‘reactivating’ your Account by logging in.
9.6 You can ‘reactivate’ a Dormant Account by logging in to the Account.
- Deposits, Currency Exchange, and How Your Funds Are Held and Protected
Deposits
10.1 You may only make Transactions of/up to the amount of cleared funds held in your Account. This means that, if you want to make Transactions via your Account, you must deposit funds into that Account. Transactions which may inadvertently have been accepted when the Account did not have sufficient funds to cover the Transaction will be void.
10.2 Further details of how to deposit can be found by clicking here. We are entitled to withdraw and/or restrict certain payment/deposit methods at any time without notice or liability to you.
10.3 You may only deposit funds into your Account from a payment source where you are the named account holder.
10.4 We do not charge for deposits made by Debit Card. However, please be aware that some card issuers consider betting transactions as ‘cash’ payments and therefore may charge you a cash advance fee. Please check with your card issuer for further details.
How your funds are held and protected
10.5 By depositing funds into your Account, you direct us and we agree to hold such funds, along with any winnings, for the sole and specific purpose of using them (i) to place your sporting and gaming stakes; and (ii) settling any fees or charges that you might incur in connection with the use of our services (the Purpose). All funds that we hold for you are held in separate designated customer bank accounts to be used solely for the Purpose and our bank has acknowledged this. We must return the funds to you if they are not used for the Purpose. Our bank has acknowledged that your funds are held in those accounts solely for the Purpose. The bank has confirmed that it will not mix customers’ funds in those accounts with any other, including our own, and that it has no claim on the funds itself. In view of the above, in the event of our insolvency, your funds are protected. The funds would still belong to you and would not fall into the hands of the liquidator. This meets the Gambling Commission of Great Britain’s requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: medium protection – click here for more information.
10.6 We are not a bank, and you may not use your Account to hold funds which are not intended to be used for the Services. Funds in your Account do not bear interest and no credit will be offered by us (meaning that all Transactions must be supported by sufficient funds in your Account).
Currency exchange
10.7 Unless otherwise stated, all financial examples given on the Services are given in Pounds Sterling. For any Transaction which requires a currency exchange, the applicable exchange rate will be the mid-rate as quoted by the Financial Times. The currency options are available by Clicking Here
10.8 Once a currency is selected, funds are deposited, wagered and winnings paid in that currency. If you wish to change the currency used, please Contact Us.
10.9 You may only use our currency exchange service for the purpose of placing Transactions via the Services. You are not entitled to use the currency exchange for any other purpose whatsoever, including (without limitation) currency hedging, speculative trading or any other currency trading.
- Withdrawals
11.1 You may withdraw any cleared real money balance in your Account at any time, provided that:
(a) all payments made into your Account have been confirmed as cleared and have not been charged-back, reversed or otherwise cancelled;
(b) we have completed our Verification Checks to our reasonable satisfaction (see Section 6 above). Where we have requested information from you to carry out these Verification Checks (see Section 6.3 above), any delay in providing this information may cause delay when withdrawing funds;
(c) we are not required to withhold payments of your deposit and/or winnings by applicable law or regulation and/or have not been instructed to do so by a regulator; and
(d) there is currently no ongoing, or completed (save where completed and decided in your favour), investigation:
i) into an Error, Interruption or Malfunction (as those terms are defined in Section 22 below) involving any aspect of the Services which you have used; or
ii) where we have reasonable grounds to believe you have engaged in a Prohibited Activity (defined in Section 16.2 below) which would entitle us to withhold funds in accordance with Section 17.5 below,
and in the case of (a) and (b) above, you acknowledge and understand that, as we made clear in the “Important Information” section at the beginning of these General Terms and Conditions, we are ultimately entitled to void any affected Transactions, withhold funds (including any winnings) and (in the case of illegal or Prohibited Activities) suspend and, ultimately, close your Account.
11.2 Withdrawal payments can only be made in the name of and to the registered Account holder.
11.3 For most payment types, withdrawals can be processed by clicking ‘Withdraw’ within your Account settings, subject to there being sufficient cleared funds in your Account and save where these Terms require or entitle us to withhold funds (as explained in Section 11.1 above). Authorised withdrawals will usually be processed back to the same payment method that was used to deposit funds into the Account save that, where the balance is funded from more than one payment method, the withdrawal will be split between such payment methods pro rata.
11.4 We don’t impose a maximum withdrawal amount per day, but specific withdrawal methods carry their own maximum per-transaction limits. Please refer to the Withdrawals by clicking here for more details.
11.5 As we made clear in the ‘Important Information” section at the beginning of these General Terms and Conditions, maximum winnings limits apply to the Services and these limits apply regardless of the amount you have bet or staked on those Services. This means that, regardless of the amount you bet/stake and no matter how much you appear to have ‘won’ as a result of a Transaction, you will only be entitled to receive up to the applicable maximum winnings limit. Our current Maximum Winnings can be found by clicking here.
- Placing Transactions and Transaction Confirmation
Placing Transactions
12.1 We are entitled to decline to accept all, or part, of any Transaction requested by you via the Services in our discretion. If we decline all or part of a Transaction, we may – but are not obliged to – offer you a different/amended Transaction in place of the decided part of the Transaction (e.g., different odds) and you are free to accept or decline this different/amended part of the Transaction as you wish. We are not obliged to tell you why we have declined to accept a Transaction, or why we have offered a different/amended Transaction.
12.2 We only accept Transactions made online (including via mobile app) or (in exceptional cases where we have agreed in advance) by telephone. Transactions are not accepted in any other form (post, email, fax, etc.) and where received will be invalid and void - win or lose.
12.3 It is your responsibility to ensure the details of your Transactions are correct. Once Transactions have been placed they may not be cancelled by you. Transactions can only be changed by you using our “Edit Bet” feature, where this is available.
12.4 Your funds will be allocated to particular Transactions in the order they are placed and will not then be available for any other use. Transactions placed using funds which have already been allocated to one or more other Transactions will be void.
Transaction Confirmation
12.5 Transactions will not be valid if there are insufficient funds in your Account to cover the Transaction.
12.6 Any Transaction that you request online or via our app/s will be valid only once accepted by our servers and subject to our having received payment in full (see Section 12.7). Each valid Transaction will receive a unique Transaction code. We will not be liable for the settlement of any Transactions which are not issued with a unique Transaction code, because these Transactions are not valid. If you are unsure about the validity of a Transaction, please check your Account history, or Contact Us.
12.7 Transactions are not valid until we have received cleared payment in full. Transactions will automatically be void if we have not received the payment prior to the relevant event commencing.
12.8 Should a dispute arise, you and we agree that our Transaction log database will be the ultimate authority in such matters.
- Promotions, Bonuses and Offers
13.1 We may offer certain bonuses, offers and/or promotions from time to time via the Services, including (without limitation) free bets, bet credits, spins, golden chips, cash prizes, tangible prizes, store cards, rebates, cashback (each a “Bonus” and together “Bonuses”).
13.2 All Bonuses are subject to these Terms, which, as explained in Section 1.2 above, includes the specific terms/rules for any Bonuses.
13.3 All Bonuses are limited to one per person.
13.4 We may withdraw, amend or cancel any Bonus at any time and without notice. If we do so (and save in the circumstances outlined in Section 13.5 below), any Bonuses that you have opted in for or otherwise accrued will still be valid in accordance with and subject to the relevant Bonus Terms that applied at the time of their offer.
13.5 We may also prevent the take-up of new Bonuses and/or the completion of Bonuses for legal and regulatory reasons including but not limited to those relating to safer gambling.
- Transaction Settlement and Payouts, Including Our Right to Suspend Markets/Events
14.1 As explained in Section 1.2 above, Transactions are subject to our maximum winnings limits, which form part of these Terms.
14.2 The ‘To Return’ calculation available on the Services is for information purposes only, and all Transactions will be calculated using the stake/risk at the odds accepted. In multiple bet/parlay Transactions with a void selection(s) the ‘To Return’ figure is reduced accordingly. This includes selections that have been made void where ‘Void if player does not start’ is selected at Transaction placement.
14.3 If a customer includes a non-runner or void selection in a multiple bet/parlay Transaction, the Transaction will be settled on the remaining selections. This includes selections that have been made void where ‘Void if player does not start’ is selected at Transaction placement.
14.4 Winnings from settled Transactions are added to the balance of your Account, subject to our rights to void winnings/withhold sums as explained and specified in these Terms.
14.5 We are entitled to (i) suspend our offering on any event or series of events in any of our markets and/or any of our markets as a whole; (ii) withhold settlement, and/or (iii) declare Transactions void, in each/either case if we have evidence that any of the following has occurred in connection with such event or series of events:
(a) the integrity of the event/s has/have been called into question;
(b) the price(s) or pool have been manipulated;
(c) we have reason to believe automated systems or players have placed or completed the Transaction;
(d) we have received erroneous information from feeds in connection with the event/s;
(e) irregular or unusual betting patterns have taken place; or
(f) match fixing has taken place.
Evidence of the above may (without limitation) be based on the size, volume or pattern of Transactions placed with us across any or all of our betting channels. If no fraudulent or unlawful conduct is found to have occurred following completion of our investigation (and/or, if applicable, the investigation of the relevant governing body of the sport in question (if any)), settlement of the relevant Transactions will be completed. A decision given by the relevant governing body will be conclusive.
14.6 Where there is evidence of a series of Transactions each containing the same selection(s) having been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate of individuals, we are entitled to make Transactions void or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation.
14.7 For events where there is no official ‘off’ declared, the advertised start time of the event will be deemed the ‘off’. If for any reason a Transaction is inadvertently accepted after an event or match has commenced (other than live In-Play betting clearly indicated on the Services), Transactions will stand providing the final outcome is not known, and that no participant/team has gained any material advantage (e.g. a score, sending off for the other team, etc) at the time the Transaction was placed. If, however, the outcome of an event/market is known, we are entitled to void the Transaction, win or lose. Disputes over the time a Transaction is placed will be settled using the Transaction log. All times stated on the Services and/or referred to by our staff relate to UK Time unless stated otherwise.
14.8 In-play betting: where we have reason to believe that a Transaction is placed after the outcome of an event is known, or after the selected participant or team has gained a material advantage (e.g. a score, sending off for the other team, etc.) we are entitled to void the Transaction, win or lose.
14.9 If for any reason we are unable to validate the outcome of a particular market (e.g. due to loss of live pictures), all Transactions will be void, unless settlement of Transactions is already determined.
14.10 Transactions are settled to fractional prices, irrespective of the odds format used for Transaction placement.
14.11 You are responsible for reporting your winnings and losses to the tax and/or other authorities in your jurisdiction.

- Sports and Special Event Betting
15.1 We accept Transactions for sporting and other special events that are advertised on the Services. All such Transactions are subject to the rules applicable to each sport, e.g. Soccer, Tennis, Boxing, etc. In a match between two teams where the participants are named, if any player is replaced prior to the match starting, all match Transactions placed prior to the change and relating to the replaced/non-starting player will be void, win or lose. Our general betting rules will apply to any situations not covered by the special rules.
15.2 Where the official result of a market is a tie and no price was quoted for that eventuality, all Transactions on participants involved in the tie will be void and stakes will be returned.
15.3 The result of a match or event will be determined on the day of its conclusion for betting purposes, subject to confirmation by the relevant sport’s governing body. Any subsequent enquiry that may result in an overturned decision will not be recognised by bet365, and original settlement of Transactions will stand.
15.4 If the venue for a sporting event is changed, all Transactions placed based on the original venue will be made void and stakes refunded, unless otherwise stated.
15.5 Odds On Coupon - For specified sports we have a coupon, listing odds on betting opportunities within specified time frames of the next 3/6/12/24/48/72 hours. Transactions stand irrespective of fixture time changes.

- Malfunctions, Errors and Interruptions
22.1 We try to provide you with a high-quality betting and gaming platform, but we cannot guarantee that the Services will at all times perform correctly. Various kinds of mistakes and errors can occur – technical, human and otherwise – and you understand and agree that we can only provide the Services to you, and you must accept them, in the condition that we make them available from time to time.
22.2 In this Section we set out a description of the things that can go wrong and the rights that we have in such events. In Section 23 below we set out how we will not be liable to you when these (and other) things go wrong.
22.3 Below are some key definitions to help you understand this Section:
A “Malfunction” refers to where an automated process fails to operate as designed or intended, for example where a piece of computer software produces a deviation from its intended performance specifications or parameters, or where two pieces of software fail to interface or communicate with each other in the manner intended or designed, in either case so as to produce a result which is not the result that was intended or designed. These malfunctions may or may not be apparent to us or to you and they may only come to light as and when settlement instructions, game outcomes, winnings or cashouts are investigated and analysed retrospectively.
An “Error” refers to a mistake or error that is not exclusively technical, for example the mistaken posting of incorrect odds, the offer of incorrect prices or terms for participation in a promotion or gambling opportunity. Errors can arise from human mistakes, administrative, operational or systems failures and combinations of all of these. Errors include (but aren’t necessarily limited to) so-called ‘palpable’ or ‘obvious’ errors, for example where:
· prices/odds/terms offered via the Services are substantially out of the market (i.e., significantly different from those available in the general market (including from other operators) at the time the Transaction is placed);
· Transactions are accepted on a market which should have been suspended or closed, for example where the event is still in progress (except where ‘in-running’ bets are expressly allowed and accepted) or the event in question has already occurred or finished (sometimes referred to as ‘late bets’);
· prices/odds/terms offered at the time a Transaction is made are a clearly incorrect given the probability of the event or outcome occurring; or
· where a market has been settled but it is subsequently discovered that the outcome/result is incorrect based on the definition of the count for that market e.g., count for shots on target.
An “Interruption” refers to an interruption in a gambling Transaction for any reason, for example an interruption caused by the failure of the internet or connectivity, or severe latency in communications, or technical failure due to some disaster or unforeseen event.
22.4 Where any of the above occur, we will deal with them as described below and it is important that you understand and agree to the following before you use the Services, as we made clear in the “Important Information” section at the top of these General Terms and Conditions:
Malfunctions
22.5 If as a result of a Malfunction, your Account is credited with winnings that you would not have received were it not for that Malfunction, we will have the right to void the relevant and any related Transaction(s) and withhold the relevant winnings. This applies even if the relevant gambling product or Bonus could have produced the same or similar amount of winnings without the intervention of the Malfunction and it applies whether the Malfunction was apparent to you or to us or not. If you have withdrawn any such winnings, you agree that you will pay them back to us as and when we ask you to.
22.6 Where any Malfunction is or becomes apparent or obvious to you or you suspect that a Malfunction may be occurring, you agree that you will cease your use of the relevant Service(s) immediately, and will Contact Us immediately.
Errors
22.7 In the event of an Error, we will have the right to suspend the affect event/market while we investigate the problem, and we will resettle Transactions as set out below:
(a) Incorrect price – whether prior to the start of an event, ‘in-play’ or after the event, where this type of Error is identified any Transactions will stand and will be settled at the bet365 revised price save that, where a revised price is deemed less than 1/1000, then Transactions will be void.
Where there is sufficient time before the start of an event, we will endeavour to contact you and may in our discretion allow the option of cancelling the Transaction.
(b) Incorrect Count/Line/Spread/Handicap/Total – where this type of Error is identified, any Transactions will stand and will be settled at the count, line, spread, handicap or total taken at the bet365 revised price except for the following situations:
· Where a revised price is deemed less than 1/1000 then Transactions will be void.
· Any Transactions placed on a count, line, spread, handicap or total where the outcome is already known when the Transactions was placed will be void.
(c) Incorrect Cash Out and Edit Bet Amount – Transactions cashed out or edited by you using our Edit Bet feature, where the Cash Out or Edit Bet amount is incorrect (due to an Error in the underlying price), will stand and be resettled at the correct amount. Where a selection is Cashed Out following an incorrect result the selection will be resettled on the correct result.
(d) Incorrect Void – If ‘Void if player does not start’ was selected at Transaction placement (specific to Goalscorer markets) and a Transaction is incorrectly made void where the selected player has actually started the event, the original Transactions will stand and will be resettled on the correct outcome.
(e) Incorrect Fixture - Where an incorrect player or team is quoted within a fixture, all Transactions will be void. Such determination to be in bet365’s sole but reasonable discretion.
(f) Incorrect Market - If an incorrect market is quoted for any match or event, Transactions placed on that market will be void; other markets may also be void. Such determination to be in bet365’s sole but reasonable discretion.
(g) Late Bets – Where a ‘late bet’ Transaction is inadvertently accepted, Transactions will be settled as follows:
i. If the event and market is covered In-Play then Transactions will stand at the revised price at the time the Transaction was placed (where a revised price is deemed less than 1/1000 then Transactions will be void), unless the outcome is already known in which case such Transactions will be void.
ii. If the event or market is not covered In-Play then the Transaction will stand as long as the selected participant or team has not gained a material advantage (e.g. a score, sending off for the other team etc.). Where a material advantage has been gained, we are entitled to void the Transaction, win or lose. Any Transaction placed where the outcome is already known, including In-Play, will be void.
(h) Error - Maximum Winnings - The maximum amount which can be won for a Transaction placed where (i) there is an Error and (ii) we elect in our discretion to let the Transaction stand but at a revised price (to correct the Error), is £10,000, unless the expected winning amount of the original Transaction was greater than £10,000. In such circumstances, the winning amount of the Transaction placed at the revised price will equal that of the original Transaction with any excess stake becoming void. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not obliged to do as described in (ii) above and this Section 22.7(h) does not affect our rights as described in Section 22.8 below.
22.8 If as a result of an Error, your Account is credited with winnings that you would not have received were it not for that Error, we will have the right to void the relevant Transaction and any related Transaction(s) and withhold the relevant winnings. This applies even if the relevant gambling product or Bonus could have produced the same or similar amount of winnings without the intervention of the Error and it applies whether the Error was apparent to you or to us or not. If you have withdrawn any such winnings credited as a result of an Error, you agree that you will pay them back to us as and when we ask you to.
22.9 Where any Error is or becomes apparent or obvious to you or you suspect that an Error may be occurring, you agree that you will cease your use of the relevant Service(s) immediately, and will Contact Us immediately.
Interruptions
22.10 Our priority is to ensure that we deal with Interruptions in a way that is fair and does not systematically disadvantage our customers.
22.11 In relation to betting: we reserve the right to suspend betting markets, void Transactions and return stakes to customers.
22.12 In relation to gaming:
(a) where an Interruption occurs after we receive notification of your gamble and where you can have no further influence on the outcome of the event or gamble, the results of the gamble will stand;
(b) where an Interruption to a single-participant single stage event occurs before an outcome has been generated we will return your stake to your Account;
(c) for games where there are multiple stages or decision points we will take all reasonable steps to restore the game to its last known state prior to the Interruption to enable you to complete the game;
(d) for games with multiple participants (equal chance or otherwise) we will deal with these as seems fairest to us (acting reasonably) on a case-by-case basis; and
(e) for games that are progressive jackpots, progressive jackpot values will be restored to their pre-failure state to the extent it is within our control and not the games provider.
