Criminal Activity
If we have reasonable cause to believe that criminal or other suspicious activities are occurring through one or more Accounts (including, without limitation, a suspicion of attempted money-laundering or fraud), we expressly reserve the right to close such Accounts and/or report such activity to any other applicable regulatory bodies or services. All Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) shall be forfeited.
Fraudulent Activity
If, in our reasonable discretion, we determine that a player has engaged in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest or improper activity (including, without limitation, the usage of a VPN, proxy or similar service that masks or manipulates the identification of your real location, or by otherwise providing false or misleading information, or by making wagers or poker play through a third party or on behalf of a third party) we reserve the right to immediately terminate or deny a player access to their Account. In such event, all Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) shall be forfeited and we reserve the right to disclose information (including the identity of the player) to applicable parties including but not limited to banks, credit card companies and/or any person or entity that has the legal right to such information, and/or taking legal action against such player.
No Player Assistance Programs
Use by players of external player assistance programs ("EPA Programs") which are designed to provide players with an unfair advantage over their opponents are expressly prohibited. We define EPA Programs as including computer software and non-software-based databases or profiles (e.g., web sites and subscription services) and we consider access to or the ability to gather data or information on other players by any means that would not be accessible via their own first-hand experience (i.e. observation of game play) to be "unfair". We reserve the right to close Accounts and void any and all winnings in such Accounts if we establish, in our reasonable discretion, the use of an EPA Program.
"Bots" Prohibited
All actions on the Website must be executed by players via the supplied user interface. We will take any measures necessary to ensure that all robot software or programs designed to simulate real player play will be detected and prevented from accessing the Website. Any Accounts associated with such activity will be subject to review and possible termination. If, in our reasonable discretion, we determine that an Account is employing such software, the Account will be disabled and all Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) shall be forfeited.
Collusion
Any players who gain, or attempt to gain an advantage by trading information about their cards, or attempt to take any unfair advantage by colluding with other players will be permanently banned from the Website. If, in our reasonable discretion, we determine that such activity is occurring, the Accounts may, in our sole and absolute discretion, be disabled and all Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) shall be forfeited. Rigorous examination of play by both manual and automated means will be employed to detect such behavior and such monitoring will be active at all times. We will investigate all related player complaints in addition to proactively and randomly examining game plays and Accounts. Collusion includes, without limitation: sharing information about their cards, chip dumping, discussing a hand during play (both in Client chat or externally), multiple players using a single Account, soft playing and chip transferring.
Inter-Player Transfers Prohibited
In accordance with our Anti-Money Laundering Policy and protocols, we do not permit or condone money transfers between player Accounts. Players found to be transferring money (including by way of so-called poker "chip dumping") may have the transfer reversed in our sole and absolute discretion. In such an event, in our discretion, such Accounts may be closed and all Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) may be forfeited.
"Betting Syndicates"
A player or group of players working together in any fashion (also known as a "syndicate"), to receive either eCash winnings or activity bonuses or otherwise, may only have one Account in total, and any redundant Accounts will be consolidated into the one Account. An administration fee may be charged and payouts refused for each redundant Account, in our sole discretion. All wagering transactions in redundant Accounts are subject to reversal at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to forfeit the principal of any wager placed in an attempt to defraud the house of any bonus monies, whether a player does this on their own or in collusion with other players or other sportsbooks.
Abuse of Bonus Programs
Bonus programs are intended for recreational bettors only. Professional players or players considered, at our sole discretion, to be abusing the bonus system by any means may have bonuses revoked and be subject to further sanctions. Bonus abuse may be defined as (but not limited to) Clients cashing out for the purpose of re-depositing, depositing on top of an existing balance, or referring new Accounts that they are using themselves. Sanctions may be in the form of increased rollover requirements or loss of bonus privileges altogether for the offending Account as well as any linked Accounts. We reserve the right to restrict eligibility for special offers and bonuses when necessary. This includes (but is not limited to) placing geographic restrictions on match bonuses due to bonus abuse. Please refer to the Help section for further information regarding additional details concerning the eligibility, conditions, terms and usage of bonuses offered.
Abuse of System Vulnerability
If, in our reasonable discretion, we determine that an Account sought to or actually did exploit any hardware or software error, malfunction, "bug" or other vulnerability, we shall immediately close such Account and all Account balances, including both deposits and any winnings, shall be immediately forfeited. If, in our reasonable discretion, we determine that such activity is occurring, the Account(s) may, in our sole and absolute discretion, be disabled and all Account balances (including both deposits and any winnings) shall be forfeited. In such an event, we expressly reserve the right to initiate civil legal proceedings and report such activities to authorities in support of criminal investigations and charges, as appropriate.
Integrity of Sport
We are committed to ensuring the integrity of sport and to participating in efforts to identify and eradicate match fixing. As such, notwithstanding any other term of the this Agreement, or any provision of the applicable Privacy Policy, by placing a bet or wager on the Website, you expressly acknowledge and agree that we at all times reserve the right in our sole discretion to report Irregular Betting Activity to such sports federations, regulators, agencies, commissions or associations (or their respective agents) as we deem appropriate ("Regulatory Bodies") in order to enable identification of irregular activity and to support appropriate investigations. "Irregular Betting Activity" means activity that, in our sole assessment, deviates from expected betting patterns and includes, without limitation: (i) an unusual and significant number of wagers originating from the same geographic region or through linked Accounts; (ii) a bettor continuing to place wagers at any price in the face of a steady reduction in the applicable odds; and/or (iii) any other indicator or pattern assessed by us as indicative of potential match fixing. We shall use reasonable commercial measures to ensure that any information provided to Regulatory Bodies pursuant to this provision is subject to reasonable contractual non-disclosure provisions, and that all information or documentation shall be destroyed by such Regulatory Bodies when it is no longer relevant in connection with any ongoing investigation, enquiry or disciplinary process.
Malfunction, System or Human Error
We reserve the right to void any winnings that were obtained as a result of hardware/software error, malfunction or human error. In the event of any such malfunction or error all wagers are void.
Unfinished Games
If your game round is disrupted or closed, all game information, placed wagers and incomplete casino games will remain active until you reopen the game. Unresolved wagers placed and incomplete casino games will become void after 60 days and will be forfeited.
Communications During Play
We reserve the right to limit the ability for players to play at the same poker table or tournament. Poker "chat" may be conducted in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Mandarin. Players using any language in chat other than the ones mentioned may have their chat privileges disabled, either temporarily or permanently in our sole and absolute discretion. Players and observers may not discuss a poker hand until the hand is completed. Discussing cards discarded or hand possibilities, real or not, is not allowed. Note that inappropriate, hateful, or offensive language and behavior will not be tolerated, whether it concerns other players or poker room staff.
