19. CASH OUT

19.1 'Cash Out' is a function which allows you to lock in a profit or a loss on your bet prior to the market(s) in which you placed the bet completing. Cash Out is only available in markets denoted with the Cash Out symbol

19.2 We will endeavour to inform you if your Cash Out has been successful or unsuccessful. An unsuccessful or partially successful Cash Out can occur for a number of reasons, e.g. as a result of a market being suspended or where markets go 'in running' or where there is a price movement on your selection. BETDAQ accept no responsibility for any loss or perceived loss where Cash Out requests are unsuccessful or partially successful.

19.3 Customers are entirely responsible for checking their position in a market at all times and following a Cash Out request as reflected in their market p&l regardless of messages returned or not returned following a Cash Out request.

19.4 Whilst we will endeavour to make the Cash Out functionality available wherever possible, the Cash Out service may be unavailable from time to time and BETDAQ provides no guarantee as to its availability and shall not be liable for any losses flowing from the unavailability of the Cash Out function. We therefore recommend that you do not use the Exchange or Sportsbook to make offers or match/make bets with the intention of using the Cash Out function as a way of mitigating the liability of your bet. All bets will stand regardless of the availability of the Cash Out feature.

19.5 When customers successfully Cash Out this shall constitute a settlement of the original bet and any subsequent events will have no impact on the amount returned to your account. All Cash Out transactions remain subject to the BETDAQ' standard settlement and bet acceptance rules set out in these Terms and Conditions.

19.6 We reserve the right to amend, suspend or remove Cash Out availability at any time on any market or to any customer. Further, we reserve the right to reverse the result of a Cash out where the market is settled in error. Where markets are settled in error, the result of the Cash Out may be amended to take into account the circumstances and price that would have applied had the error not occurred.

However, we reserve the right to apply different rates to accounts in other customer categories which may include the following customer groups: commercial customers including licensed bookmakers, certain profitable customers and customers with heavy usage of the exchange such as, but not limited to, API customers. We will notify such customers in advance if their accounts become subject to charges other than those specified commission rates.

Commission points are awarded to customers on the following basis: One exchange commission point is earned for each £25/€40/$40 won or lost across exchange markets. Points have no cash redemption value at any time.

For the avoidance of doubt, a standard payment is deemed to be any of the following: Card transaction, e-wallet transaction or non urgent online bank transfer transaction.

21.7 We reserve the right however, to levy any associated charges to you if your deposit and withdrawal activity does not correspond to a sufficient volume of play.

21.8 Any cheque lodgements and all exceptional payments such as requests for same day bank transfers may be levied with a service charge where applicable.

22. MAKING AN OFFER ON THE EXCHANGE

22.1 To enter into a contract with another Customer(s), a Customer must first make an offer on any event listed in the Exchange stating the terms on which he or she wishes to transact, e.g. event, the selection, outcome, stake and minimum price they are willing to accept.

22.2 Customers will only be permitted to make offers using funds ("Stake") up to the amount of the current available balance in their Customer Account.

22.3 BETDAQ may increase or decrease the minimum Stake at any time.

22.4 When an offer is made by a Customer, BETDAQ will act as stakeholder and agent of the Customer.

22.5 The Exchange will attempt to find opposing Customer offers that have unconditionally been entered into the Exchange, ie those which express an opposing view at equivalent terms or better, which have not yet been matched.

22.6 Once the Exchange has found such an opposing unmatched offer, it will automatically match the two Customers' offers and those Customers will have entered into a contract with each other on the terms stated in their opposing offers. This is a binding agreement from which it will not be possible for the Customers to choose to exit and the terms of which they cannot amend.

22.7 Customers may only make an offer on events for which there is a market open on the Exchange.

22.8 Customers may request that markets be opened on new events on the BETDAQ Website by emailing BETDAQ. BETDAQ is under no obligation to open new markets.

22.9 Customers may only make an offer in the currency in which their Customer Account is denominated.

22.10 This clause has been removed.

22.11 For offers made after an event has commenced but before the event has completed and betting on the event has been suspended, ("in running") there is a built-in delay for processing offers. Customers must wait for confirmation after the delay that their offer has been placed.

22.12 Customers are responsible for offers placed on their Customer Accounts where correct usernames or passwords are used to access the Customer Accounts

22.13 The current minimum Stake for an offer placed by a Customer on the Exchange is £/€/$0.50. This minimum Stake can be amended by BETDAQ without notice at any time.

22.14 BETDAQ does not operate a TeleBet service and accordingly does not bear any responsibility to Customers who attempt to place offers on the Exchange over the phone.

22.15 When a Customer delivers or makes an offer into the Exchange, the Customer grants to BETDAQ an irrevocable authority:

22.15.1 to accept, on behalf of the Customer, any other Customer's previously recorded corresponding and opposing offer and thus to create a matched offer or contract between the Customers; or

22.15.2 failing (i), to display the terms of the Customer's offer for acceptance by other Customers until the offer is accepted by (an) other Customer(s) or until the offer expires.

22.16 BETDAQ will provide Customers with an order number in respect of each of their placed offers.

22.17 Once an offer has been submitted, BETDAQ will instruct Betdaq Trustee Company Ltd to provide a funds-clearance service for the transaction in the following way:

22.17.1 Immediately upon a Customer submitting an offer into the Exchange, BETDAQ will instruct Betdaq Trustee Company Ltd to debit the Stake from the Customer's Account in accordance with the terms of the offer. The total proposed Stake to be deducted will be notified to the Customer before he/she finally places the offer.

22.17.2 Betdaq Trustee Company Ltd shall hold the relevant funds so as to ensure that the funds are not used for any other purpose until the offer is unmatched and has expired at the stated time for the event, is cancelled or voided or until the offer is matched and the undisputed outcome of the contract between the Customers is known.

22.17.3 if the offer is matched or partially matched then, upon settlement of the contract in accordance with the BETDAQ Rules, we will distribute the Customers' Stakes according to the applicable rules of the contract agreed between the Customers, less our commission.

22.17.4 in the event that an offer is not matched by the Exchange, it will either expire at the actual start time of the event on which the offer is made or, if the Customer so specified, be carried over to be offered in the In Running market. Upon expiry, the Stakes offered that are not matched, or are deemed void, will be returned to the respective Customers' Accounts.

22.18 BETDAQ bears no responsibility for monitoring and managing the status of Customers' offers. Offers may not get matched, may get partially matched or get fully matched. Customers are responsible for monitoring how much, if any, of each of their offer is matched.

22.19 Customers are not permitted to use the exchange to deliberately transfer money from one account to another by attempting to match bets exclusively between two accounts on the exchange.

22.20 Programs may be used by some Customers in order to automatically make offers into the Exchange and enter into binding contracts with other Customers based on certain specifications and variables set within the program ("Bots"). Customers, whether they use Bots or not to make offers on the Exchange, should be aware that any offer could be susceptible to exploitation by other Customers.

22.21 All offers placed on BETDAQ markets are placed solely at the customer's risk. BETDAQ endeavours to provide fair betting markets to customers with market conditions that reflect the true nature of the betting market on events at any point in time. BETDAQ encourages customers to place offers on the exchange to form a normal and fair betting market either through manual or automated means through the BETDAQ API or other interfaces. Any customer who seeks to systematically manipulate betting market odds and or volumes away from normal market activity, either using automatic or manual means, will be deemed to act in breach of these Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, we reserve the right to suspend any offending customer's account and shall be entitled to hold any funds relating to any such account pending the outcome of an investigation.

23. OFFER CANCELLATION

23.1 BETDAQ will use all reasonable endeavours to meet offer cancellation requests.

23.2 No cancellation of an offer will be effective until the original offer is removed from the Exchange and no longer displayed on the BETDAQ Website.

23.3 As an offer is available to other Customers until cancelled there is the possibility that an offer may be accepted and matched in the Exchange before the cancellation request can be completed. BETDAQ bears no responsibility for delays which may arise between the time a cancellation order is initiated and the time it is actually cancelled.

23.4 BETDAQ reserves the right to close the Exchange at any time, in order to preserve orderly markets or for any other reason deemed fit by BETDAQ.

23.5 Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may cancel any unmatched offers using the Exchange or other Services or void any contracts at our absolute discretion if:

23.5.1 we suspect that Customers are acting other than on their own behalf or otherwise in concert with others or engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity while using the Services;

23.5.2 we suspect that Customers are breaching any terms of these Terms and Conditions;

23.5.3 we suspect that Customers are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of BETDAQ's business;

23.5.4 we suspect that it is illegal for a Customer to participate in the Services;

23.5.5 we are unable to verify registered address or contact telephone number; or

23.5.6 we are required to do so by law.

23.6 All void contracts and cancellation of offers will have the Stakes refunded.

24. SETTLEMENT

24.1 All contracts are settled subject to the BETDAQ Rules.

24.2 We reserve the right to correct errors of settlement. If, following correction of a mis settlement, the balance on a Customer's Account becomes negative, the Customer will immediately deposit sufficient funds into his/her account to increase the balance to an amount at least equal to zero.

24.3 We reserve the right to recover from Customers any Stakes paid out in error or which become the subject of a disputed contract. Any Stakes that become subject of a disputed contract will be placed in a holding account pending resolution of the dispute in accordance with our Complaints Procedure and Dispute Resolution Policy.

25. VIRTUALS

25.1 Customers are not able to make offers on markets available on Virtuals but must take the price offered on any selection.

25.2 The counterparty for all bets made by a Customer on any markets available on Virtuals is EPS.

25.3 All bets in respect of any market available on Virtuals shall be settled promptly following the completion of the relevant virtual event.

25.4 All bets on any market available on Virtuals are otherwise subject to these Terms and Conditions but, for the avoidance of doubt, any provision specifically relating to the Exchange shall not apply.

26. EXCHANGE STARTING PRICE (XSP)

26.1 BETDAQ Exchange Starting Price ("XSP") bets are available in markets denoted with the 'XSP' symbol. XSP will only apply to bets that have been specified to take XSP if otherwise unmatched when XSP is calculated. Bets can be specified to take XSP if otherwise unmatched in any one of the following places: 1) In the Betslip when placing bets by selecting the 'At The Off Take XSP' option; 2) In the Current Bets Panel when amending bets and 3) In the 'My Preferences' section of 'My Account' where customers can default all bets to 'Take XSP' for the unmatched portions of bets at the off.

26.2 XSP is a singular price that applies on unmatched portions of Exchange bets (where XSP has been requested) for both Back & Lay selections at the time an applicable market turns in-running or at market completion (where in-running is not offered). XSP bets are treated like any other exchange bet for the purposes of calculating net market winnings/losses and normal commission rates on net market winnings apply.

26.3 The calculation of XSP will occur at the point of the market being turned in running or completed. A small time delay will ensue at the point of this calculation and the market will remain suspended until the calculation process is complete. XSP prices are calculated based on the matched prices and volumes in the exchange market. The counterparty for all bets made by a Customer at XSP is EPS. BETDAQ will not publish the XSP calculation algorithm and may update or amend it from time to time without notice.

26.4 XSP is designed to provide assurance around bet matching availability for customers. BETDAQ may guarantee XSP availability up to a certain stake/liability amounts for customers at our discretion however the amount of stake or liability ultimately available to match at XSP will depend on the overall volumes requested by backers and layers of XSP in the market. If a customer requests a stake at XSP beyond that available that can be matched at XSP, then any unmatched portion of their XSP bets will be cancelled at the off. (API customers have the ability to persist any unmatched XSP requests in-running through their bet placement settings). Customers will know whether their bets are matched or not once a market turns in running, after the calculation is made and XSP bets have been matched.

26.5 XSP values will be displayed in the event card once calculated and displayed for the duration of the market. XSP values displayed while the market is in-running are for display purposes only and the final calculation of XSP on settlement may be subject to a rounding process. For example, the displayed XSP price may be '6.0' but your actual price will calculated to 12 decimal places and you may not match with exactly 6.0.

26.6 In the unlikely event of a market being turned in running either early or late with XSP bets consequently being calculated at an incorrect time, we reserve the right at our absolute discretion to either let the matched bets stand as matched or to undo the XSP and un-match all matched XSP bets. Any unmatched XSP bets in these circumstances will be cancelled and become unavailable for any further matching.

26.7 BETDAQ reserves the right to not declare an XSP or match any bets at XSP due to an operational or technical error.

26.8 XSP bets can be subject to a deduction factor as is outlined in these Terms and Conditions. For example, if XSP has been calculated in a market after the market has been turned in running' and subsequently, a selection in that market is withdrawn, the XSP for each remaining selection may be subject to a deduction factor.

26.9 BETDAQ reserves the right not to calculate XSP on any given market where it suspects that suspicious betting activity or any form of market manipulation has occurred. Further, we reserve the right to suspend settlement or void XSP bets where we suspect that suspicious betting activity or any form of market manipulation or collusive behaviour has taken place. The terms relating to suspicious betting, market manipulation or collusive behaviour found in these Terms and Conditions will apply.

26.10 If for any reason Betdaq returns XSP prices it deems to be palpably different to the expected odds for a given market, we reserve the right to void all bets on that particular selection or market in relation to XSP bets.

26.11 BETDAQ reserves the right to remove XSP bet placement permissions from any account at our discretion.

SPORTSBOOK SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

27. PLACING A BET

27.1 You must exercise your own judgement in choosing to place a bet or to make an offer. You acknowledge that, in placing your bet or making an offer, you are not relying on any statement of any of our employees relating to the subject matter of the bet. We reserve the right to refuse part or all of a bet or an offer.

27.2 You agree to fulfil any payment obligations on you set out in these terms and conditions in accordance with the Terms of Use. You agree you are solely responsible for any bets placed on your account with us.

27.3 Once you have placed your bet and you have received confirmation that your bet has been accepted, it is too late to cancel the bet (unless we, in our absolute discretion, provide permission to cancel or change the bet).

27.4 When betting through the Website you will know that your bet has been processed when after clicking OK to process your bet, your betting slip reappears with confirmation that your bet has been placed. Your betting slip will also have a receipt number individual to that slip, which confirms that the bet has been accepted.

27.5 Should you have any concerns that your bet has not been processed correctly go to the 'Your Account' button at the top of the screen and enter the date when you placed your bet. Details of all bets processed will appear on your screen. Only bets that appear on your Account Statement screen are valid transactions. Alternatively, you can check the ‘My Bets’ tab located beside the ‘Betslip’ tab for details of all placed bets.

27.6 It is your responsibility to ensure that the details of any transaction which you place are correct. For bets placed through the Website, you can check bets using the Account Statement.

27.7 Bets placed by credit card or debit card do not become valid until we have received payment. If payment has not been received before the event commences, then that bet is automatically void.

27.8 Where bets are taken after the start of an event, bets will stand if nothing has happened which would significantly alter the chances of the selection winning or losing (with the exception of in play bets which may be placed during an event). For example, we would allow a football bet to stand (win or lose) if there had been no goal or sending off in the game. All bets placed after the result of an event is known will be void win or lose.

27.9 Clauses 27.3 to 27.5 and 27.8 shall not apply to any bet placed on the Exchange.

27.10 No account restrictions will be enforced against you after you have made one or more qualifying bets as part of a bonus or promotional offer, where it would adversely affect your ability to satisfy the conditions to qualify or fully benefit from the bonus or promotional offer available.

27.11 EPS is the counter party on all bets placed on the Betdaq Sportsbook and on all Multiple Bets placed through either the Betdaq Sportsbook or the Multiples section of the Exchange.

There is no limit on sums that may be won by bets placed on the Exchange.

28.2 You acknowledge and agree that for certain products your approved staking level may mean that you have the opportunity to win more than the amounts set out in Clause 28.1 above. Even where your approved staking level may give you the opportunity to win a higher amount, you agree that BETDAQ shall only be obliged to pay to you the maximum amounts specified in Clause 28.1 above.

29. ACCOUNT CORRECTION

29.1 Where, in respect of any Product or an event within a Product, we make an error (whether human or otherwise), we will be entitled to declare the transaction void and withhold any payments. If we wrongly pay an amount to you or we pay you more than the amount to which you are properly entitled you agree to repay to us immediately upon request from us the amount which has been wrongly paid or overpaid to you. We have the authority to adjust your account to reflect the true outcome and rectify the error. An example of such an error might be where a price is incorrect, a bet is late, a failure occurs in one of our systems or where we enter a result of an event incorrectly.

30. ERRORS IN RELATION TO SPORTSBOOK MARKETS

30.1 This clause relates to errors made in Sportsbook markets. Any errors made in relation to Exchange markets are dealt with under the Betdaq Exchange Rules.

30.2 We make every effort to ensure that we do not make errors in accepting bets. However, if as a result of human error or system problems a bet is accepted at a price (which includes the odds, handicap provisions and other terms or details of the bet) that is either: 30.2.1 materially different from those available in the general market at the time the bet was made; or 30.2.2 clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was made, then we will pay winnings at the correct price. 30.3 To establish the correct price we will consider prices available in the general market at the time the bet was made, including the prices offered by Oddschecker. Examples of circumstances where this would apply are:

30.3.1 the price is recorded as 100-1 when the price on offer in the general market is 10-1; or 30.3.2 the margins for handicap betting have been reversed. 30.4 If a bet is accepted in error by us on an event or outcome for which no BETDAQ prices are available the bet will be void and your stake returned.

31. SPORTSBOOK SETTLEMENT

31.1 All Sportsbook bets are settled subject to the BETDAQ Sportsbook Rules.

31.2 We reserve the right to correct errors of settlement. If, following correction of a mis settlement, the balance on a Customer's Account becomes negative, the Customer will immediately deposit sufficient funds into his/her account to increase the balance to an amount at least equal to zero.

As such (at our discretion) the results of the previous bet are no longer in dispute and no refund or other adjustments will be granted.

PART 5.

Multiple bet Terms and Conditions

1. "Multiple Bets" consist of a number of legs, where each leg is one or more selections from an individual market or event. A maximum of fifteen selections can currently be combined in multiples, although BETDAQ reserves the right to amend this number from time to time. All selections in a Multiple Bet are subject to the BETDAQ Rules.

2. Certain combinations of selections, including related contingencies, are not accepted and attempts to place such bets may be prompted with an error pop-up at the bet submission stage. If a bet of this type is inadvertently taken in error, BETDAQ reserves the right to void the relevant, individual bet combinations.

3. If a selection in a Multiple Bet is a non-runner or otherwise void under the BETDAQ Rules then all bets on that leg of the multiple will be void and the Multiple Bet will be adjusted accordingly, eg a treble becomes a double; a double becomes a single etc.

4. The minimum total Stake for a multiple is £/€/$1. The minimum total Stake per line is £/€/$0.05. For example, a 5 cent "Super Yankee" with 26 different bets and a total Stake of €1.30 is allowed but a 4 cent "Super Yankee" would not. Similarly, a 50 cent "Trixie" with a total Stake of €2 is allowed but a 20 cent "Trixie" with a total Stake of only 80 cent would not. For currencies other than Euro the minimum Stake may not equate; however, the calculations as described above remain the same.

5. The maximum payout from our Multiple Bet product, to any one Customer on any one day's business is determined by the Maximum Payout table found in the General Rules of the BETDAQ Sportsbook Rules.. If a multiple bet has been placed which involves events with different maximum payout limits, the lowest limit will apply. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure they are aware of each of the limits before bet placement. In the event that a customer has an accumulator or multiple legs bet the maximum payout will be applied according to the lowest payout limit on the accumulator or multiple legs.

6. Any Customer acting in an attempt to defraud BETDAQ will have their Multiple Bets voided. BETDAQ reserves the right void Multiple Bets in the case of egregious or obvious errors.

BETDAQ reserves the right to void any or all bets made by any Customer acting in an attempt to defraud it where there is any evidence of price, race, match or event rigging or in the case of a rule breach applied by the governing body of the sport concerned. Where such evidence exists of rigging or some other act which has unfairly affected the result, or where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same selection(s) having been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate of individuals, BETDAQ reserves the right to make bets void or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation.

BETDAQ Casino & Virtuals Terms and Conditions

The BETDAQ Casino product consists of a range of instant (non-downloadable) games in full size and mini-embedded format.  Separately, the Virtuals tab on the BETDAQ Website consists of a range of markets based on virtual sporting events on which Customers can place either back or lay bets.

2. VALID BETS ON BETDAQ CASINO OR VIRTUALS MARKETS 

2.1 Any proposition or other information placed by us on any part of the BETDAQ Casino service or on Virtuals market is not an offer but is an invitation to Customers to put forward a bet transaction for acceptance by us. A bet is deemed to be valid only following electronic confirmation of acceptance. Only then is it recorded in our servers. This acceptance is demonstrated with the generation of a game identification number as displayed within each game, or other transaction or play reference. 

2.2 You agree that the records of BETDAQ Casino or the results of the settlement of the relevant Virtuals market shall be the final authority in determining the validity and terms of any bets you place and the circumstances in which they were made.

If you are not the intended recipient or you are not part of the intended category, then the offer cannot be accepted by you.

4.5 We reserve the right to limit the number of times that you may participate in a bonus or promotional offer. Except as otherwise expressly stated in the offer itself, bonuses and promotional offers are limited to one account per person, family, household address, email address and credit card number. Where multiple participation is permitted, we reserve the right to limit the number of participations, in our sole discretion.

5. APPLICABILITY OF THE BETDAQ CASINO TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

5.1 The following specific terms and conditions ("CASINO Specific Terms) govern your use of all of our instant games, products and services available under BETDAQ Casino. 

5.2 These Casino Specific Terms, while forming part the Terms and Conditions are solely specific to our instant games, products and services available under BETDAQ Casino.

6. CASINO SPECIFIC TERMS 

6.1 The BETDAQ Casino is provided by BETDAQ and its software providers. 

6.2 You must play the BETDAQ Casino pursuant to the various casino rules set out within the various BETDAQ Casino games and which can be accessed by viewing the "Game Rules", "Pay Table" or "Help" once the relevant game has loaded ("Casino Game Rules"). 

6.3 You are not required to participate in the BETDAQ Casino and such participation is at your sole option, discretion and risk. You agree that you participate in the BETDAQ Casino for your personal entertainment. 

6.4 BETDAQ may collect information about your computer including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type. 

6.5 You may not play any BETDAQ Casino games if you or a member of your household are or have ever been an employee of, or third party contractor to, any of the BETDAQ Casino software providers and for this purpose "third party contractor" includes entities such as licensors, software suppliers, developers or partners and all those persons in any way affiliated with a software provider or any of such software provider's subsidiaries or associated companies. 

7. PLAY FOR FUN AND PLAY FOR REAL MONEY 

7.1 All games in the BETDAQ Casino Real Play Games.  There is no ‘fun’ play or non real money option for BETDAQ Casino.   

7.2 By Real Play you acknowledge that a real monetary bet is required and that you may win or lose real money. You are reminded that you accept full responsibility for any losses that you may incur. 

7.3 Bets are only valid if accepted by BETDAQ's server. Until that point all information displayed relating to a game constitutes an invitation to play only. You agree that BETDAQ's records shall be the final authority in determining the validity and terms of any bets you place and the circumstances in which they were made. BETDAQ reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or limit any bet you place. Where a bet is invalid, refused or its value limited, any sum deducted from your account with respect to that Stake will be credited to your account. 

7.4 It is your responsibility to note the payout rate or odds that apply to each BETDAQ Game before you place a Stake, and these are located in the "Info Pages" for each BETDAQ Game accessible by clicking the "Info" icon on the BETDAQ Game selector. 

7.5 When you play a BETDAQ Game you agree to forfeit your bet and any winnings if you leave the BETDAQ Game unfinished for a period of 90 days or more. 

8. PAYOUTS 

8.1 We reserve the right to change the payout rates and odds of any of the BETDAQ Casino games at any time. You can see the actual and any amended details by clicking on the "Info" icon on the right hand side of each of the BETDAQ Casino games selectors. It is your responsibility to check the payouts/odds on each occasion before you participate. The pay table for each BETDAQ Game is available at all times within the game. 

8.2 The maximum gross win in a 24 hour period ("Maximum Win"), via your participation in the BETDAQ Games, is capped at £/€/$100,000 plus Stake (depending on your betting currency). For the avoidance of doubt, in a 24 hour period, you will only be entitled to receive up to the Maximum Win, irrespective of how much you stake or how much you appear to have won.  Any gross win plus Stake that takes your winning above the Maximum Win will be deemed to exceed these limits, and the excess will not be paid.  However, any stakes exceeding the Maximum Win will be returned on a pro-rate basis in relation to the excess amount.

8.3 BETDAQ places a maximum payout limit per BETDAQ Game ("Payout Limit") of £/€/$25,000 (depending on your betting currency). BETDAQ hereby reserves the right to subject all payouts in excess of the Payout Limit to a manual check before any remaining win amounts in excess of the Payout Limit are paid out to you. BETDAQ will make reasonable endeavours to conclude any such checks within 72 hours of the win occurring and will not withhold any excess amount unreasonably. 

9. INTERRUPTED GAMING POLICY 

9.1 If gaming is interrupted (eg where your internet connection is disconnected) after you have successfully placed a bet, the BETDAQ Casino random number generator will continue to determine the result of your bet on the relevant BETDAQ Game and will process the transaction as would have occurred had the interruption not occurred (e.g. had your Internet connection been live). You will be able to access details of the bet that was determined when your play was interrupted by viewing your Customer Account statement or requesting a copy of your betting history from the member support team. 

9.2 If gaming is interrupted (e.g. where your Internet connection is disconnected) whilst you are in the process of placing a bet, our records will be definitive as to whether such bet was successfully placed before the interruption occurred. If it was not successfully placed the bet will be deemed a nullity. 

9.3 Appropriate adjustments will be made to your Customer Account to reflect the implementation of this policy. 

10. DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS 

BETDAQ reserves the right to void any BETDAQ Game regardless of the state of completion of the game if the game is found to be defective or suffers from any sort of malfunction. Any defect or malfunction will render any winning bet null and void. If such a defect or malfunction occurs, your Stake will be returned to you but not the winnings that occurred at the time of defect or malfunction. 

11. VIRTUALS SPECIFIC TERMS 

11.1 There is no "Fun Play" option for Virtuals. 

11.2 For Exchange Virtuals the amount you may Stake on any selection in a Virtuals market is limited to the liquidity available on that selection as shown in the 'back' or 'lay' box.   

11.3 The "Interrupted Gaming Policy" as set out in paragraph 9 of this Part 6, above, and the "Defects and Malfunctions" policy as set out in paragraph 10 of this Part 6, above, shall apply to Virtuals markets. 

PART 7.

Responsible Gambling Policy

At BETDAQ, we seek to ensure our customers enjoy their gambling experience in a safe and responsible environment.  If we believe that you may have a problem with your gambling, we reserve the right to add restrictions or to close your Account. If we decide to close your Account, we will inform you that your Account has been closed.  Further, our responsible gambling policy provides Customers with a variety of mechanisms to assist them in controlling their gambling.

1. SETTING YOUR LIMITS

1.1 At the point of registration, you are obliged to set a deposit limit. At any time thereafter, you can amend your deposit limit and/or set a Stake limit following the instructions contained within the "My Account" section.

1.2 We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure your limits are observed and we cannot override any limit that you set without your consent. You can decrease your limits (e.g. lower your daily spend limit) by following the instructions at the "My Account" section. Decreasing limits can be done immediately. Increasing your limits requires at least 24 hours' notice.

1.3 You must not attempt to gamble with us and we cannot be held responsible if you circumvent our procedures and top your Customer Account up with funds exceeding your limit.

1.4 Customers may block the ability to view certain Services by utilising the options available on the "My Account" section of the BETDAQ Website.

2. SELF-EXCLUDING

2.1 Self-exclusion is offered either online via the "Self-Exclusion" page of the BETDAQ Website or by contacting [e-mail].

2.2 Customers can close their Customer Accounts or self-exclude for a defined period, at any time. The minimum exclusion period is 6 months. During the exclusion period, a Customer's Account will not be opened or utilised unless funds are to be withdrawn back to the Customer in accordance with our self-exclusion policy.

2.3 BETDAQ will endeavour to close down all known Customer Accounts related to a self-excluded account for the same period of time but we do not accept any responsibility for any additional account unless expressly requested at the time of exclusions or any subsequent time by the Customer.

2.4 During any self-exclusion period you will be unable to access your Customer Account. We will make all efforts to prevent you from gambling on the BETDAQ Website during an exclusion period. We will use best endeavours to prevent you from opening a new Customer Account and we will take all reasonable steps to prevent sending you any marketing material. However, you must not attempt to gamble with us and we cannot be held responsible if you circumvent our procedures.  We reserve the right to take up to 48 hours to identify any account created on BETDAQ using the same details as a previously excluded account (“Exclusion Breach Account”). During this time, we accept no responsibility for any activity used on the site from an Exclusion Breach Account and we will donate all monies won by such accounts to charity while refunding your remaining balance to you.  We will not refund any deposits lost during this period.    

2.5 Should you wish to reactivate your Customer Account following the end of your self-exclusion period, you may either contact us to that effect at [e-mail] or our colleagues as outlined above. If your request to resume is approved, a 24-hour waiting period will be applied before you will be able to gamble again.

3. PARTIAL BLOCKING

3.1 If a Customer wishes to exclude himself or herself from the Casino Service and the Virtuals markets of the BETDAQ Website only("Partial Block"), then the Customer should contact the member support team at '[e-mail]' or by phone using the numbers given in the "Contact Us" section of the BETDAQ Website.

3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, Betdaq treats the Casino Service and the Virtuals markets as one product in the instance of a request for Partial Block. Therefore, a customer exclusion request from the Casino Service will result in exclusion for the same time period from the Virtuals markets and vice versa.

Various tools are available to assist you in ensuring your computer cannot access gambling sites. These can be found at responsible gambling.

4. TIME OUT

4.1 You can opt to take a break from the BETDAQ Services for a short pre-determined period of time by choosing the Time Out facility on the Website. During the period of the Time Out, your account will be closed and you will not be able to avail of the BETDAQ Services.

4.2 The Time Out facility is not treated as a self exclusion but rather a facility to take a break from the Services.

4.4 You agree that BETDAQ do not bear any responsibility for any consequences or circumstances arising to you during the period of the Time Out where the Time Out is circumvented either intentionally, accidentally or otherwise.

4.5 We reserve the right to re-open Time Out accounts as and when the period of the Time Out expires though we also reserve the right to choose not to do so for whatever reason we deem necessary. BETDAQ accepts no responsibility for any perceived loss or otherwise resulting in a delay in re-opening an account under Time Out or from choosing not to re-open a Time Out account. Any account that is either requested by a customer to be re-opened or is automatically re-opened by BETDAQ following the expiration of a Time Out is not subject to a 24 hour cooling off period.

5. REALITY CHECK

5.1 A Reality Check is intended to give you the option of setting a time frequency at which you will receive an on-screen notification detailing the length of time you have spent gaming and it applies only to games contained within the Casino Tab on the BETDAQ site and for the avoidance of doubt does not apply to our 'Virtuals' tab.

5.2 The Reality Check is an account setting that can be changed at any time by going to 'My Account>Responsible Gambling>Reality Check' or at the 'Deposit' page of the desktop website. You need to choose the setting that you believe is appropriate to help you keep control of the time you spend gaming. You must log out of your account and log back in for any new Reality Check setting to take effect. 5.3 If you have set the Reality Check and decide to play Casino games, the timing of your game play will start when your game starts to load. Logging out of your BETDAQ account pauses the reality check timer and it will resume when you next log on and load a game. This may mean that the reality check only appears just after the frequency that you have set, as loading a game after re-log on will resume the clock. If you re-log on and load a game after the length of time that you set your Reality Check, then the clock will be re-set to zero and the timer starts from the beginning. For example, if you have a 30 Min Reality Check set and you log out of BETDAQ 10 minutes after loading a game and then after a further 10 minutes, you re-log on and load another game, you will have only 10 minutes of game play until you are prompted by the Reality Check.

5.4 It is your responsibility to ensure that bets placed on events with an 'off' time are placed in sufficient time to acknowledge the Reality Check and to then place your bet if you have the Reality Check option enabled. 5.5 The Reality Check pop-up is a tool to help you manage your time spent gambling. It is your responsibility to stop gaming in the time-frame that you believe is appropriate for you personally, and BETDAQ will not be responsible should you choose to continue gaming or if for any reason the reality check functionality fails due to technical limitations or connectivity issues. 5.6 A clock is always visible when you are playing on any BETDAQ gaming product and you are encouraged to make use of this in conjunction with the Reality Check setting to help you control the amount of time that you spend Gaming.

6. GAMSTOP SELF EXCLUSION SERVICE

6.1 In addition to our own internal self-exclusion facility detailed in paragraph 8.2, we are registered with the self-exclusion service provided by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited (“GAMSTOP”). Successfully registering with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will prevent you from accessing all online gambling websites and apps run by companies licensed as members of the service. You can find out more details about the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service by visiting www.gamstop.co.uk.

6.2 In circumstances where you successfully register to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service, we will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from accessing your Accounts, or opening new Accounts, using our online gambling website and apps.

6.3 We are only able to operate self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service on the basis of information you provide to GAMSTOP (that is subsequently communicated to us) as part of your registration to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service. We will not be responsible for any failure on our part to spot any errors made by you or GAMSTOP when providing this information.

6.4 You are reminded that it is in your interests to provide GAMSTOP with truthful and accurate details consistent with those which you use/have used with us to set up Accounts. It is your responsibility to keep the information provided to GAMSTOP up to date. We will not be responsible for you failing to keep this information up to date.

6.5 The GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent you from accessing Accounts that match the details you have provided to GAMSTOP as part of your self-exclusion application. Similarly, the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent you from opening new Accounts where the personal information you provide to us matches the details you have provided to GAMSTOP as part of your self-exclusion application. We will not therefore be responsible for failing to prevent access to your Accounts or prohibiting the opening of new Accounts, in circumstances where this is directly or indirectly due to you providing inaccurate, inconsistent and/or incomplete information to us and/or GAMSTOP.

6.6 Please note that under the Terms of Use you agree with GAMSTOP, your self-exclusion will be activated as soon as possible after your application has been successfully processed. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to do this within 24 hours, this cannot be guaranteed. However, once the self-exclusion has been activated on GAMSTOP’s operating systems, and this has been successfully communicated to us, the self-exclusion will take effect on our operating systems (albeit you are strongly advised to also inform us of your participation in the Gamstop self-exclusion service – please see paragraph 6.7 below).

6.7 You agree not to attempt to open new Accounts, log into any of your existing Accounts, or in any other way try to circumvent GAMSTOP’s or our operating systems/mechanisms for the duration of your self-exclusion.

6.8 To ensure that you get the full benefit of the self-exclusion facility available under the GAMSTOP service, you are advised to also contact us to confirm that your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful. You can contact us by contacting the Helpdesk on [e-mail]. By contacting us in this way, we will be able to put in place measures and arrangements for the following:

6.9.1 subject to our rights under these Terms and Conditions to withhold any funds from your Accounts, the full balance of your Accounts will be returned to you;

6.9.2 you will not receive any marketing materials in relation to our products, promotions or services; and

6.9.3 you will not be liable for any Inactive Account Fees for the full duration of your self-exclusion period.

6.10 After expiry of the minimum exclusion period agreed between you and GAMSTOP, you will be required to contact GAMSTOP direct to arrange for your self-exclusion to be deactivated. We cannot process this deactivation on your behalf. All requests to GAMSTOP for deactivation of your self-exclusion will be subject to a 24 hour “cooling-off” period. Once your self-exclusion has been successfully deactivated and this has been successfully communicated to us, you will be able to access your Accounts/open new Accounts with us.

6.11 Having implemented reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure that whilst you are self-excluded under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service you cannot access an existing Account or open a new Account with us, we cannot be held liable to you or any third party if you are able to continue to gamble using our online gambling website and/or apps

6.12 In addition, in no circumstances will we be liable to you or any third party if you are able to access your Accounts or open new Accounts during a period of self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP service for reasons outside of our control. This will include circumstances where the operating systems utilised by GAMSTOP fail to properly and/or instantaneously identify you or your Accounts as subject to self-exclusion when you attempt to access our online gambling website and/or apps

PART 8.

Integrity Policy

The integrity of the Exchange markets and indeed of all of other ancillary products on the BETDAQ website is of foremost importance to us. We operate and maintain the highest standards to ensure the experience of customers when playing on BETDAQ is free from any concern, issue or suspicion and we employ a range of internal systems, procedures, checks and balances in order to ensure that this is so. Further, as already outlined in these Terms and Conditions, we operate under licence in multiple jurisdictions and under the terms of these licences, we are obliged to report any suspicious activity to the relevant regulatory authority and/or law enforcement agency and where required we are obliged to assist and collaborate wherever possible in all investigations and enquires that are sent to us. The following items are some of the areas in which we endeavour to maintain the highest integrity standards possible:

8.1 BETTING INTEGRITY

BETDAQ takes the issue of integrity in the markets it provides very seriously and has therefore established internal systems to detect, monitor and report on any suspected market whose integrity is questioned. Such examples of where the integrity of a market or an event could be called into question can include match fixing, spot fixing, race fixing, insider information and any other system that compromises the natural forming of a market. Further, BETDAQ has, over time, developed information sharing agreements, early warning detection and alert systems and other means of reporting suspicious betting activity with the following parties: · The International Betting Integrity Association, · British Horseracing Authority; · The Irish Turf Club under the auspices of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board; · Under its GB licence conditions with the British Gambling Commission to provide information to its Sports Betting Integrity Unit (SBIU). · Under its GB licence conditions to share information with any supporting Sports Governing Body, such bodies

can be found at the following link: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/Footer/Useful-links/Sports-governing-bodies.aspx BETDAQ reserves the right under the specific Information Sharing Agreements, its licence conditions or otherwise to always provide any information subject to the terms of applicable Data Protection legislation.

8.2 LIMITING COLLUSION

Collusion can occur when two or more accounts on the Exchange collude with each other on a particular market in order to deliberately transfer funds from one account to another using unrealistic pricing or market conditions. Betting or market collusion can adversely affect genuine customers who may, in a rare circumstance, inadvertently match bets with a colluding account. However, BETDAQ have developed many systems and procedures to deter, prevent and detect collusion and we can quickly and accurately determine those bets that are likely matched as a result of collusion. As a result, BETDAQ reserve the right to suspend all accounts suspected of being involved in a collusive action and may remove the funds of any account found to be engaged in collusion. BETDAQ also will endeavour to restore the funds of any customer found to be matching bets with colluding accounts but whom were found not to be a party to the collusion. The value of such restitution is capped to the value of funds recovered by the colluding accounts.

8.3 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE / “BOT POLICY”

In order to provide efficient and orderly betting markets on a peer to peer basis, BETDAQ allows the use of 3rd Party Software including the use of Bots. Such examples of 3rd Party Software include direct integration API programs and Trading Tool programs both of which may include the use of Bots. All of these programs are required and encouraged to maximise liquidity on markets so that a fair and efficient market is formed, to allow users to organise their betting strategies more efficiently and to allow certain exchange products to function properly such as 'in play' and 'cash out'. However, any customer who seeks to systematically manipulate betting market odds and or volumes away from normal market activity, either using automatic or manual means, will be deemed to act in breach of these Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, we reserve the right to suspend any offending customer's account and shall be entitled to hold any funds relating to any such account pending the outcome of an investigation.
