Agreement to terms

• By creating an account, making a deposit, or placing bets, you accept these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, the Cookies Policy, and any game or event specific rules.
• We may update terms to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. We will post the updated version and a change date. Continued use of the services after changes indicates your acceptance.

Eligibility and registration

• You must be at least 18 years old. Underage gambling is prohibited.
• You must not be self-excluded through GAMSTOP or our internal self-exclusion tools.
• You must pass identity verification before you can deposit, place a bet, access bonuses, or withdraw. Verification may include checks of name, address, date of birth, and payment ownership.
• Credit cards are not allowed for gambling in Great Britain. Any payment instrument must be held in your name and lawfully obtained.

Account rules and fair use

• One account per person. Duplicate accounts may be closed and balances managed in line with these terms.
• Your account is for personal, recreational use only. Third-party betting, syndicate play, or using bots or scripts is prohibited.
• Keep login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity on your account unless we fail to provide reasonable security.
• We may suspend, restrict, or close an account if we suspect breach of these terms, bonus abuse, fraud, chargeback, AML concerns, or regulatory non-compliance.

Promotions and bonuses

• Promotional offers or any bonus will be governed by specific terms published at the time of the offer. These will detail eligibility, wagering requirements, game weighting, time limits, maximum bet during wagering, withdrawal restrictions related to the promotion, and any excluded payment methods.
• We may limit or withdraw promotional access if we reasonably believe there is abuse or if required by legal or regulatory obligations.

Content and intellectual property

• All site content, odds displays, software, trademarks, and data are protected. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse engineer our services.

Liability

• We provide the services on a reasonable-efforts basis. We are not responsible for failures caused by telecommunications, internet outages, or third-party systems beyond our control.
• Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Complaints and dispute resolution

• Contact Customer Support first and provide your account details, bet reference, and a clear description of the issue.
• We aim to issue a final response within 8 weeks of receiving your complaint.
• If unresolved after our final response or 8 weeks, you may escalate to an independent Alternative Dispute Resolution provider approved by the Gambling Commission (for example, IBAS). Details are provided in our Complaints Policy.

Governing law

• These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers may rely on mandatory local consumer protection rights.

Customer funds

• We maintain arrangements for the protection of customer funds in accordance with Gambling Commission requirements. The level of protection is disclosed in your account area or the help centre.

These general betting rules apply to all bets placed on our platform. They sit alongside market or event specific rules shown on the bet slip or rules pages.

Eligibility to place bets

• Bets may only be placed after successful verification and once your account is active and funded in GBP.
• You must be 18+ and not self-excluded through GAMSTOP or our tools.

Bet acceptance and bet settlement

• A bet is accepted only when a bet receipt ID appears and the bet status shows as accepted. Draft or pending bets are not binding.
• Displayed odds are fixed at the time of acceptance unless the market specifies Starting Price or other settlement mechanics.
• We reserve a short delay on live betting to manage market integrity and data updates.
• Bets are settled using the official result published by the relevant governing body for the event. Settlement times may vary by sport or market.

Minimum and maximum stakes; payout limits

• Minimum and maximum stake or payout limits apply and are displayed on the market or bet slip. We may impose account-level limits based on risk, compliance, and responsible gambling considerations.

Void bets and cancellations

• Bets may be voided if the market conditions are not met (for example, event cancelled, abandoned before completion, or played at a materially different venue where market rules require voiding).
• Obvious error: if a pricing or market error is manifest, we may void affected bets or settle at the correct odds that were available at the time the bet was placed. We will act fairly and keep records.
• Once accepted, a bet cannot be cancelled by you. We may consider a request before the event starts, but we are not obliged to agree.

Dead heats and rule variations

• Dead-heat rules apply where applicable, reducing returns proportionally in line with industry practice and the number of winners.
• Sport or market specific rules published on our site take precedence where they differ from these general rules.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

• Cash Out offers are not guaranteed and may be withdrawn, suspended, or change based on live data. A Cash Out completes only when confirmed in your account history.
• Bet Builder markets follow the same acceptance and settlement principles; components may be voided individually where rules allow.

Restricted markets and integrity

• We may restrict bet types, markets, odds, or exposure for integrity, trading, legal, or responsible gambling reasons. Where required, we may refuse a bet or close a market.

These rules govern deposits, withdrawals, and related account transactions for United Kingdom customers.

Funding your account

• Accepted methods: UK-issued debit cards, bank transfer, and approved e-wallets in your name. Credit cards are not permitted for gambling. E-wallets funded by credit card are not allowed.
• Currency: GBP. We may reject deposits in other currencies.
• Minimum and maximum deposit limits are shown in the cashier. Limits may also reflect your responsible gambling settings.
• We do not usually charge deposit fees. Any fee, if applied due to a specific method, will be shown before you confirm the transaction.

Withdrawals

• We return funds to the original payment method wherever possible (closed-loop). If that is not possible, we may request an alternative method in your name and further verification.
• You may withdraw available real money balances. Promotional restrictions are detailed in the relevant bonus terms.
• Internal processing is generally completed promptly; banking or payment provider timeframes vary by method. Typical banking times range from same day to 3 working days after approval.
• We may request identity, address, payment ownership, and source of funds/wealth documents before approving a withdrawal.

Restrictions and checks

• We may place temporary holds where AML, fraud, chargeback, or responsible gambling checks are required.
• Third-party payments are prohibited. Each deposit and withdrawal must be from and to a method held in your name.
• Where you request withdrawal of unplayed funds, we may undertake additional checks and reserve the right to return funds to the source payment.

Failed payments, chargebacks, and reversals

• If a bank or e-wallet reverses or charges back a deposit, we may void related bets, remove bonuses, and recover any unpaid amounts from your account balance.

Fees and limits transparency

• Any fees, method-specific limits, and minimum withdrawal thresholds are displayed in the cashier before you confirm a transaction.
