TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
VIP Global Solutions Limited (the "Betting Platform Provider") operates a Betting Platform containing various forms of interactive games or sports betting products and services, at www.sbobet.com and via WAP through a WAP link and via the mobile web through m.sbobet.com provided by the Betting Platform Provider (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Betting Platform") that is accessed by end user players (the "Player"). The Player uses the Betting Platform for data settlement and visual betting purposes and an intermediary (the "Associate") for all payment issues relating to their use of the Betting Platform (the "Payment Service"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment Service is subject to a contract between the Player and the Associate to which the Betting Platform Provider is not party and therefore the Payment Service is not covered by these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions govern the Player's use of the Betting Platform and their relationship with the Betting Platform Provider. The Player should read these terms and conditions carefully as they affect their rights and liabilities under the law. If the Player does not agree to these terms and conditions, they should not use the Betting Platform. If the Player has any questions about these terms and conditions, they should contact support@sbobet.com.
1 APPLICABILITY OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Player agrees that they will only use the Betting Platform for their personal entertainment and will not use it to conduct a commercial business. The Player's use of the Betting Platform is subject to these terms and conditions. By agreeing to use the Betting Platform, the Player agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any document incorporated by reference, these terms and conditions will prevail.
2 AMENDMENTS TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2.1 The Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions (including to rectify errors or mistakes discovered on the Betting Platform) without prior notice. However, the Betting Platform Provider will ensure that any significant changes to these terms and conditions will be notified to the Player by an appropriate method (for example via a prominent notice on the Betting Platform). The changes will apply to the use of the Betting Platform after the Betting Platform Provider has given notice. If the Player does not wish to accept the new terms and conditions the Player should not continue to use the Betting Platform. If the Player continues to use the Betting Platform after the date on which the change comes into effect, the Player's use of the Betting Platform will be confirmation of the Player's agreement to be bound by the new terms and conditions.
2.2 It remains the Player's responsibility to periodically check these terms and conditions to ensure that they continue to agree with them and Players are advised to do so each time they use the Betting Platform. The Player's continued use of the Betting Platform will be confirmation of their acceptance of any changes to these terms and conditions. Any bet received (but not settled) prior to the time of amendment and notification of amended terms and conditions will be subject to the pre-existing terms and conditions.
3 REGISTRATION AND USE OF THE PLAYER'S ACCOUNT
3.1 To access and utilise the Betting Platform, the Player must be at least twenty one years of age or the legal age required for gambling in the Player's jurisdiction, whichever is the greater. The Player must establish an account with and in accordance with their agreement and/or arrangement with the Associate (an "Account"). The Player should ensure that any details provided by them in order to establish an Account (i.e. the details provided to the Associate) or at any time after that are correct and complete and must inform the respective Associate immediately of any changes to their details by updating their Account in order that any communication or notice issued by the Betting Platform Provider can be communicated to them effectively. While the principal Know Your Player checks will be carried out by the Associate in its provision of the Payment Service, the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to request the Player’s identification documents (e.g. passport or identity cards) from the Associate for verification purposes pertinent to the Player's use of the Betting Platform, should such verification be required by the Betting Platform Provider (for example, without limitation, to enable us to comply with our regulatory requirements).
3.2 A Player wishing to place a bet on the Betting Platform should note that there may be specific laws in their country, place of residence, or the place where the Player accesses the Betting Platform which prohibit gambling. The Player warrants to the Betting Platform Provider that they will not access the Betting Platform from within a jurisdiction that prohibits gambling. Further, the Player warrants to the Betting Platform Provider that they will not access (or register for) the Betting Platform at any time if they are a citizen of a nation state that prohibits its citizens from participating in gambling (regardless of their location).
3.3 It is the Player's responsibility to ensure compliance with their applicable local or national laws before establishing an Account with the Associate and/or before placing bets on the Betting Platform. The Player is encouraged to seek legal advice before establishing an Account and/or placing any bets to verify that their proposed dealings on the Betting Platform are not contrary in any way to such laws. The Betting Platform Provider does not accept any responsibility for a Player's breach of any applicable local or national laws.
3.4 Without limiting Clause 3.3, the Operator does not accept bets originating from Afghanistan, American Samoa, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Côte d'Ivoire, Denmark, England, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Germany, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guam, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, North Korea, Northern Mariana Islands, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Reunion, Russia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Serbia, Singapore, Somalia, Spain, Sudan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkiye, United States minor outlying islands, USA and Virgin Islands, U.S. and, accordingly, the Customer warrants that they are not resident in these jurisdictions, nor will they use the Internet Betting Service when they are in these jurisdictions.
3.5 The Player will be provided with a log-in code and password for their Account on the Betting Platform (which will be relayed to them by the Associate). In order to prevent fraud, the Player must keep this log-in code and password confidential and not disclose it or share it with anyone. The password will be kept in encrypted form on the Betting Platform and will not be accessible to the Betting Platform Provider. If the Player knows or suspects that someone else knows their log-in code and/or password or that any other personal information has been stolen or otherwise accessed without their authority they should notify the Associate immediately.
3.6 If the Betting Platform Provider has reason to believe that there is likely to be a breach of security or misuse of the Betting Platform, it may require the Player to change their password or it may suspend the Player's Account.
3.7 The Player will not allow any other person or third party (including, without limitation, any minor) to use their Account. The Player is solely responsible for all use of the Betting Platform through their login code and password. Unless caused by the Betting Platform Provider's negligence, any unauthorised use of the login code and password will be the Player's sole responsibility and deemed the Player's use. The Player will therefore be liable for any such unauthorised use and will not be re-credited by the Betting Platform Provider any resulting losses from their Account on the Betting Platform, regardless of whether or not the third party who participated had the Player's consent.
3.8 If an Account is inactive for 6 months or longer, the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to cancel the Account.
3.9 The Betting Platform Provider may suspend or cancel the Player's Account immediately at its absolute discretion including if the Player breaches any of their obligations under these terms and conditions.
3.10 The expiry or termination of a Player's Account for any reason will not affect:
(a) any rights, obligations and/or liabilities accrued before the date of termination or expiry; or
(b) any rights, obligations and/or liabilities expressed to continue in force after and despite expiry or termination.
3.11 The Betting Platform Provider reserves the right not to open an Account for any applicant without having to provide any reason whatsoever. The Betting Platform Provider further reserves the right to refuse/reject and suspend and/or terminate without prior notification the Account of any Player who is suspected of cheating, hacking, attacking, manipulating or damaging the Betting Platform Provider's normal betting operations (including the Betting Platform).
3.12 The use of artificial intelligence or "bots" on the Betting Platform is strictly forbidden. Likewise, any application that uses any or all of the data contained on the Betting Platform for purposes (including but not limited to commercial purposes) other than participating in the Betting Platform (e.g. via screen scraping) is prohibited. The Betting Platform Provider will take measures to prevent and detect the use of programs that are designed to enable artificial intelligence (non-humans) to utilise or benefit from the data contained on the Betting Platform. Any attempted or actual use of artificial intelligence by the Player will lead to termination of their Account in accordance with Clause 3.9 and Clause 3.11 and / or to the rejection or cancellation or voiding of any bet placed in such manner in accordance with Clause 7.13.
3.13 The Player can cancel their Account at any time in accordance with their agreement with the Associate. However, the Player should inform the Associate prior to cancelling their Account in order to ensure that valid Bet Credits (as defined in Section 5 below) are returned to them in full. If the Player does cancel their Account, they must stop using the Betting Platform immediately.
3.14 The suspension or cancellation of the Player's Account will not affect either party's statutory rights or liabilities.
3.15 The Player may open only one Account. The Player should be aware that, in accordance with their agreement with the Associate, where the Associate discovers that a Player has established multiple Accounts, the Associate may immediately cancel or cause to be cancelled such multiple Accounts.
4 LICENCE
4.1 The Betting Platform Provider grants the Player a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the software required for the use of the Betting Platform (the "Software"). The Player may use the Software solely for participation in the Betting Platform.
4.2 The Betting Platform and all pictures, graphics, photographs, animations, videos, music, audio, text and live feeds on the Betting Platform and the Software are and will remain the property of the Betting Platform Provider and are protected by intellectual property laws, including copyright. They may not be reproduced without the Betting Platform Provider's prior written consent.
4.3 Except as permitted by these terms and conditions, the Player may not copy, use, modify, create derivative works from or distribute the Software or written materials associated with the Betting Platform, decode, reverse engineer, dissemble, decompile or otherwise translate or convert the Software or any part of it or transfer, loan, lease, assign, rent or otherwise sublicense the Software or do any of the above to any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion of the Software. Without limitation, the above activity includes any form of denting, hacking, attacking, manipulating or damaging of the Betting Platform.
5 PAYMENT AND SECURITY
5.1 Statistical data representing the credit granted to a Player by an Associate ("Bet Credits"), in the amounts notified to the Betting Platform Provider by the Associate, will be displayed in the Account of the Player and may be used by the Player to place bets on the Betting Platform. However, the Bet Credits simply reflect the credit extended to the Player by the Associate (as affected by the Player's agreement on credit with the Associate, the Player's betting (i.e. winnings and losses) on the Betting Platform and any cashing out via the Associate) and, while displayed and processed on the Betting Platform, Bet Credits are in no circumstances claimable from the Betting Platform Provider.
5.2 Bet Credits will be updated automatically as the Player bets on the Betting Platform. In addition, in order to reflect any further credit extended, or payout made, to the Player, the Bet Credits will be frequently reconciled by the Betting Platform Provider and the Associate, which will be reflected in the Player's revised Bet Credits balance. The Player is not allowed to place a bet greater than these reconciled Bet Credits. Any winnings (or losses) are therefore reflected in the Bet Credits in the Player's Account and Bet Credits may be cashed by the Player only through the Associate in accordance with any agreement the Player may have with the Associate and not via any method otherwise displayed on the Betting Platform.
5.3 The Player may only deposit and receive money through an Associate registered with the Betting Platform Provider and authorised by the Betting Platform Provider to act as an Associate. Failure to adhere to this clause may result in the Player's Account being suspended or terminated.
5.4 The Player has the responsibility for checking their available Bet Credits before or after each betting transaction and prior to departing from the Betting Platform. If the Player suspects any errors, they must report it immediately to the Associate, in accordance with Clause 5.5 before participating again in the Betting Platform. Failure to do so will result in the Player waiving their right to raise future disputes and acceptance of all previous betting records as true and correct.
5.5 Should Bet Credits be credited to or debited from a Player's Account in error, it is the Player's responsibility to notify the Betting Platform Provider of the error without delay in order for the sum to be rectified in accordance with a reconciliation of the amount processed through the Payment Service. Any Bet Credits credited to the Player due to the error will be deemed invalid, are not available to bet with and the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to void any transaction involving such Bet Credits. If the Player believes that the Bet Credits displayed in their Account do not accord with the amount processed through the Payment Service, they should address this issue with the Associate as the Betting Platform Provider cannot be held responsible for any available Bet Credits that are erroneous as a result of the Payment Service.
5.6 The Player must inform the Associate and the Betting Platform Provider as soon as reasonably possible if they believe that their Account information is being misused in any way by a third party so that appropriate steps can be taken by the Associate to suspend their Account. The Betting Platform Provider will not be held responsible for any misuse of the Account and/or any loss suffered by the Player due to any delay in such suspension.
5.7 To maintain a high level of security and to protect the Player's Account, the Betting Platform Provider performs random security checks. The Player hereby accepts that the Betting Platform Provider maintains the right to obtain additional documentation from the Associate in order to verify the identity and residence of the Player in the event of such a security check. Where the Associate fails to provide the Betting Platform Provider with such additional documentation, the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Player's Account at its absolute discretion.
5.8 Any applicable taxes and fees in connection with any awarded prize are the Player's sole responsibility. Prizes cannot be transferred, substituted, or redeemed for any other prize.
5.9 Unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, no bet can be cancelled once confirmed by the Betting Platform Provider. All bets stand once confirmed whether the Player is online or offline. The Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to refuse any bet.
6 ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROVISIONS
6.1 The Betting Platform Provider will only credit Bet Credits into the Account of the Player that placed the winning bet.
6.2 The Betting Platform Provider reserves the right, at its reasonable discretion, to suspend the crediting of Bet Credits, pending a full investigation (including providing details to the relevant law enforcement agency where appropriate), where it suspects that Bet Credits have been credited, and are attempted to be withdrawn, by a Player for the purposes of money laundering. An example of where this might occur includes where a Player's Account has been credited with a substantial sum and then the Player attempts to withdraw these Bet Credits having only conducted minimal betting activity on the Betting Platform. Full repayment of the actual funds represented by the Bet Credits will be made to the Player by the Associate where the investigation reveals no evidence of money laundering.
6.3 Notwithstanding the terms of Clause 5.7 above, the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time to request that the Player provides the satisfactory evidence of identity and residential address referred to in Clause 5.7 above. Failure by the Player to provide this evidence may result in the Player's Account being suspended, which shall include the suspension of any withdrawal requests.
7 BETS
7.1 In making a bet, the Player will determine the amount of his own stake, subject, to the following:
(a) the restrictions on winnings permitted under Clause 10;
(b) the restrictions on bets set out in this Clause 7.1;
(c) the minimum and maximum amount of any bet will be as indicated on the Betting Platform;
(d) if a Player places a bet, the stake for which would exceed any limits adopted pursuant to this Clause 7.1, such bet will be void; and
(e) the restrictions on bets and winnings as set out in Clause 12.
7.2 If a bet is not made in full or if details of it are missing, the Betting Platform Provider may, at its discretion, deem such bet to be void.
7.3 A Player will not be entitled to make multiple bets which combine different selections within the same event. In the event that such a bet is accepted in error, it will be void.
7.4 Subject to Clause 7.5, a Player may send multiple copies of the same bet in which case all such bets will be treated as separate bets. If a Player submits a number of bets (whether identical or different), they will be dealt with by the Betting Platform Provider in the order in which they are received.
7.5 The Player must make their bets as an individual. The Betting Platform Provider will be entitled to reject and treat as void a series of identical bets from different Players or where the Betting Platform Provider suspects that Players are acting in collusion or as a syndicate with any other individual(s) and will be entitled to refuse payment of any winnings.
7.6 Bets on events in which the Player is participating (and whether a Player is participating for this purpose will be decided by the Betting Platform Provider in its absolute discretion) are not permitted.
7.7 In making a bet, the Player represents and warrants to the Betting Platform Provider to not knowing nor having any influence over the outcome of the event in respect of which the bet is made. If the outcome is known, the Betting Platform Provider may treat the bet as void.
7.8 The Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to make any amendments or corrections to any event information (including but not limited to the team names, event time, venue, league title) displayed on the Betting Platform at any time. In such circumstances an electronic announcement will be displayed on the Betting Platform. The Player acknowledges and agrees that the prices, odds or handicaps in respect of any event displayed or broadcasted to the Player may differ or vary from those being displayed or broadcasted to any other end user player or any group of them. In this regard the Betting Platform Provider has the right, at any time and from time to time, in its absolute discretion and without giving any reason or advance notice, to display or broadcast prices, odds or handicaps in respect of any event to the Player that is different from those being displayed or broadcasted to any other end user player or any group of them.
7.9 In order to make a bet, there must be available Bet Credits in the relevant Player's Account equal to or exceeding the amount of the stake. If the Player's available Bet Credits do not cover the aggregate stakes wagered at any one time, the Betting Platform Provider will refuse the bets. In these circumstances, the Player must limit their bets to their available Bet Credits or re-credit their Account through the Associate before they can place the bets in full.
7.10 All prices, odds or handicaps quoted are subject to variation and become fixed only at the time when a bet is accepted by the Betting Platform Provider. Where a manifest error (whether caused by human error or otherwise) or systems failure results in incorrect prices, odds or handicaps being offered, or produces incorrect or erroneous game results, any bet (or part of a bet) made on the basis of them will be void. If such error is noticed beforehand, the Betting Platform Provider will use all reasonable endeavour to notify the Player concerned in order to enable him to place another bet at the correct prices, odds or handicaps and, in the case of interactive betting games, the Betting Platform Provider will immediately void the game and return all bets placed to the Player's Account.
7.11 Where a bet is settled incorrectly due to, for example, an erroneous result being recorded on the Betting Platform, such settlement will be invalid and reversed. If the Player has insufficient Bet Credits to permit such a reversal, they will be required to return the erroneously credited Bet Credits to the Associate in accordance with Clause 12.6.
7.12 The Betting Platform Provider may, at any time, in its absolute discretion and without giving any reason or advance notice, suspend a market, cease betting on a market, refuse to accept any bet or any part of a bet and/or suspend or close any Player's Account.
7.13 The Betting Platform Provider may, at any time, in its absolute discretion and without giving any reason or prior notice:
(a) refuse to accept or cancel any bet or any part of a bet which in the Betting Platform Provider’s sole discretion appears in any way unusual and/or irregular in any form or manner; whether viewed by itself or together with other bets placed by the Player and/or placed by any other Player or Players, and whether or not any of these other bets had previously been accepted and settled by the Betting Platform Provider; and
(b) treat as void any such bet or part of bet described in (a) above, should the bet or part of it be previously accepted; where the rights of the Betting Platform Provider to do so may be exercised at any time after the acceptance of the bet and after the bet has been settled. Where the Betting Platform Provider exercises its right to void a bet pursuant to this sub-clause, then the settlement shall be treated as an invalid settlement and shall be reversed by the Betting Platform Provider. Clause 12.6 shall apply to these invalid settlements as if they are erroneously credited Bet Credits.
8 PLACING A BET
8.1 Bets may only be placed via the Betting Platform or the WAP Platform or such other betting platforms employed by the Betting Platform Provider unless an alternative prior arrangement has been made with the Betting Platform Provider (the "Betting Method").
8.2 A bet is accepted only when confirmed by the Betting Platform Provider via the Betting Method (that is, when the bet appears in the bet list of the Player's Account under the item “Accepted” and an identification number has been allocated to it).
8.3 If a bet is declared "invalid" or "void" for the purposes of these terms and conditions it will be evaluated at odds of 1.00. For individual bets, the stake will be refunded with 1.00 odds to the Player's Account. For combination bets, the total odds of the combination bet will be recalculated with 1.00 odds of the selection that has been declared invalid or void.
8.4 The deadline for placing bets will in each case be determined by the Betting Platform Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a bet (other than a Live bet as stated on the Betting Platform) is placed after the commencement of the event in respect of which the bet is made, the bet will be invalid and will be evaluated at odds of 1.00. For events for which no official start is declared, the generally advertised start time (as determined by the Betting Platform Provider) for the event will be deemed to be its commencement time. Disputes over the times when bets are placed will be finally settled by reference to the Betting Platform Provider's transaction log.
8.5 The Player will be responsible for ensuring that their bets are correct. Bets placed and accepted within the relevant time limit may not be revoked or changed except as expressly provided in these terms and conditions.
8.6 The Betting Platform Provider assumes no responsibility for:-
(a) typing, transmission and/or evaluation errors in respect of any bets and will be entitled (after the event, if necessary) to correct manifest errors relating to odds or the reporting of results;
(b) the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information services provided (in particular but without limitation, for information provided by third parties);
(c) the accuracy of live scores, statistics and intermediate results in respect of all betting.
9 RESULTS AND EVALUATION OF BETS
The Betting Platform Provider will evaluate Players' Accounts depending on the result(s) of the bet(s) they place. In doing this the Betting Platform Provider recognises only the official results achieved in the field of play and/or the outcome of the randomly generated results of the interactive games and/or the race events and/or the financial betting products for settlement purposes. Subject as otherwise provided in these terms and conditions, the Sports Betting Rules or Games Betting Rules or the Racing Betting Rules or the Financial Betting Rules (collectively referred to as the “Betting Rules & Regulations”), the winner of an event is the participant whom the relevant official decision-making body declares to be the official winner at the termination of the event (according to the time of the venue for the event), as reported on the official websites of the tournament organisers or by the relevant press agency or association of the country where the event takes place. In the case of Random Number Generator ("RNG") games, the Player acknowledges that the Betting Platform Provider's RNG and other randomly generated events are part of the Betting Platform and that the Player agrees to accept such randomly generated results performed by the RNG, as final and conclusive. In the event of a manifest error and where the correct outcome is available on a video recording or in the public domain, the Betting Platform Provider shall use its best endeavours to determine the correct outcome to be used to determine the winner and/or the result of the bets placed. In such cases, the Betting Platform Provider's decision shall be final. Changes in results, rankings or the order of competitors made after that time for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, disqualification, disciplinary decision, tribunal or court decision or appeal) will be disregarded for the purposes of deciding the outcome of the bet. In case of any violation of sports or race laws, the Betting Platform Provider will be entitled to freeze and withhold any winnings for such period as it will think fit or indefinitely. (For more information see the Betting Rules & Regulations.)
10 CALCULATION OF, AND LIMITS ON, WINNINGS
10.1 For bets with fixed odds, the winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the prescribed odds or prices displayed at the time when the bet is accepted by the Betting Platform Provider.
10.2 Data representing winnings from settled bets will be reflected in the Player's Account as Bet Credits. Bet Credits cannot be transferred, substituted, or redeemed for any other prize. Any applicable taxes and fees in connection with any winnings are the Player's sole responsibility.
10.3 In certain circumstances, winnings on certain markets will be limited by the Betting Platform in accordance with limits set out by the Associate (as informed to the Player). Such limits are not controlled by the Betting Platform Provider and will simply reflect the position as agreed between the Associate and the Player. It is the Player's responsibility to check limits with the Associate if they are unsure of any applicable limits on winnings in any market. The Betting Platform Provider is not responsible for any dispute over its application of a limit to winnings imposed on an Account where such limit has been notified to the Betting Platform Provider as applicable to the Account by the Associate.
10.4 If more than one bet and/or a combination of single and combination bets is placed with the same selections and the Betting Platform Provider determines or suspects that they have originated from a single Player, one or more Related Parties of such Player or a group or syndicate of Players or their respective related parties acting in concert, without prejudice to any other remedies or rights the Betting Platform Provider may have in such circumstances, the Betting Platform Provider will be entitled to apply the relevant limits on winnings set out in this Clause 10 to the aggregate winnings on all such bets as if such bets were a single bet and/or to reduce the stake to the extent necessary in order to comply with such limits on winnings.
11 SPECIAL RULES FOR SPECIFIC SPORTS AND OTHER EVENTS
11.1 The Betting Platform Provider accepts bets for sporting, racing and other events available on the Betting Platform. All such bets are subject to the rules specific to each relevant sport, race or event or RNG game and it is the responsibility of each Player to make himself aware of all such rules to the extent relevant to any bets they place.
11.2 Special rules relating to different types of sport, races and RNG games and which will apply to bets made on those sports, races or games are set out in the Betting Rules & Regulations. These Betting Rules & Regulations may be amended at any time.
12 THE PLAYER'S REPRESENTATIONS
12.1 The Player represents, warrants and certifies that they have reached the age of 21 or the legal age required for gambling in the Player's jurisdiction, whichever is the greater. The Player also warrants that they will not access the Betting Platform from within a jurisdiction that prohibits gambling nor will they access (or establish) the Betting Platform at any time if they are a citizen of a nation state that prohibits its citizens from participating in gambling (regardless of their location).
12.2 The Player represents, warrants and certifies that they fully accept that all computer instructions and responses sent over the Internet to and from the Betting Platform and the Software will be binding on the Player.
12.3 The Player further represents, warrants and certifies that:
(a) the Player is not prohibited from placing any bet by any term of the Player’s contract of employment or any rule of an international or domestic body, organisation, association, federation or other such entity that governs or oversees any sport (“Sport Governing Body”) which applies to the Player; and
(b) the Player is not aware of any circumstances which would make the placing of any bet with the Betting Platform Provider a breach of a rule on betting applied by a Sport Governing Body; and
(c) where the bet is placed on the outcome of a race, match, competition or other event or process or on the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring (the “Event”) the Player has no prior knowledge of or has no influence over the outcome of the Event.
12.4 In the event of any of the Player’s representations in this Clause 12 proving to be false the Player’s stake will be forfeit and the Betting Platform Provider shall not be obliged to pay any winnings which might otherwise have been payable in respect of that bet.
12.5 The Player understands that by using the Betting Platform they may lose money on bets placed and they accept full responsibility for such loss. The Player agrees that their use of the Betting Platform is at their sole risk.
12.6 Should Bet Credits be credited to or debited from a Player's Account in error, it is the Player's responsibility to notify the Associate of the error without delay. Any Bet Credits credited to the Player due to an error will be deemed invalid and in the event there are sufficient Bet Credits in the Player's Account, such Bet Credits will be immediately reversed by the Betting Platform Provider from the Player's Account. In the event that there are insufficient Bet Credits in the Player's Account, the Player shall immediately return the funds representing the erroneously credited Bet Credits to the Associate. Amounts credited to an Account in error are not available to bet with and the Betting Platform Provider reserves the right to void any transaction involving such Bet Credits. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Player has a credit balance and further Bet Credits are erroneously added to this, the Player is permitted to transact up to the level of Bet Credits available in their Account excluding the erroneously added Bet Credits. The Player agrees to indemnify the Betting Platform Provider for the return of any amounts representing erroneously credited Bet Credits that the Player has withdrawn.
13 NO WARRANTY
13.1 The Betting Platform Provider will endeavour to provide the Betting Platform using its reasonable skill and care. The Betting Platform Provider makes no further warranty or representation, whether express or implied, in relation to the Betting Platform. Any implied warranties or conditions relating to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, completeness or accuracy are hereby excluded.
13.2 The Betting Platform Provider makes no warranty that the Betting Platform will meet the Player's requirements or will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Betting Platform or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or bugs, nor does the Betting Platform Provider make any warranty as to the full functionality, accuracy, reliability of the materials supplied by the Betting Platform Provider or results of the Betting Platform or the accuracy of any information obtained by the Player through the Betting Platform.
13.3 The Player should be aware that the quality of the internet connection to the Betting Platform and WAP Platform varies from Player to Player and may not be absolutely stable. The Betting Platform Provider is not responsible for any misplaced bets. All bets placed will be based on the bet records in our system.
13.4 The Betting Platform Provider carries out regular maintenance to the Betting Platform to ensure, as much as possible, that an optimum gaming experience is provided to the Player. During such maintenance sessions, the Player acknowledges and agrees that access to the Betting Platform may be limited to allow for such necessary repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. The Betting Platform Provider will make reasonable efforts to notify Players of such downtime in advance of it occurring (whether via an advance schedule of downtime or period notifications on the Betting Platform) and resume the service as soon as it reasonably can.
14 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
14.1 The Player agrees that their use of the Betting Platform is at their sole risk.
14.2 The Betting Platform Provider will not be liable in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from or in any way connected with the Player's use of the Betting Platform, whether direct or indirect, including, without limitation, damage for loss of business, loss of profits, business interruption, loss of business information, loss arising from downtime or any other pecuniary or consequential loss (even where the Betting Platform Provider has been notified by the Player of the possibility of such loss or damage). Further, liability for such damage will be excluded, even if the exclusive remedies provided for in these terms and conditions fail for their essential purpose.
14.3 The Betting Platform Provider will not be liable or responsible to the Player for any loss or damage incurred or suffered by the Player as a result of any suspension or stoppage (whether temporary or permanent) of the Betting Platform arising from any governmental order or change in policy by the regulator.
14.4 The Betting Platform Provider will not be responsible or liable to the Player for any loss of content or material uploaded or transmitted through the Betting Platform and the Player confirms that the Betting Platform Provider will not be liable to the Player or any third party for any modification to, suspension of or discontinuance of the Betting Platform.

14.7 The Betting Platform Provider will not be liable to the Player for any use of the Betting Platform that is contrary to the law of the jurisdiction in which the Player is located. The Player should note that where local law prohibits their participation in the Betting Platform, it is contrary to these terms and conditions for the Player to participate in the Betting Platform.
14.8 Certain statutes, rules and regulations may imply certain non-excludable warranties or conditions and to the extent such are not permitted to be excluded, the Betting Platform Provider's liability for breach of such conditions or warranties and the Player's sole and exclusive remedy will be limited to US$1000.
