It is a federal offense for persons physically located outside of Arizona to engage in Internet wagering through an Arizona casino, unless explicitly authorized by the ADG. The availability of our Services does not constitute an offer, solicitation or invitation by us for the use of our Services outside of Arizona. Betway shall not be liable for any breach of any local, national, federal, state or other laws that may occur as a result of your using the Services.

You expressly waive the right to receive any disclosures that would normally be required to be made to you by applicable laws as part of an employment screening as you acknowledge that the purpose of the background check is not for employment purposes but rather to ensure the safety of the Betway community.

You undertake to protect your username and password in the same way that you would in respect of your bank cards. Any failure to do so shall be at your sole risk and expense. If a third party accesses your Account, you are solely responsible for that third party’s actions, whether or not that third party’s access was authorized by you, and you hereby indemnify Betway and the Tribe, and hold Betway and the Tribe harmless against all costs, claims, expenses, and damages howsoever arising in connection with the use of or access to your Account by any third party.

Also, please be aware that an amount equal to the sum of an amount of funds that are required by state gaming regulators is held in a separate non set-off account.

If required by applicable regulatory requirements, we will notify you of the reason for such investigation and will provide updates on the status of the investigation every tenth business day from the day we send you the initial notification. To the extent that the investigation reveals conduct that is either fraudulent or illegal, Betway is entitled to deny your withdrawal request and shall be entitled to seek any other remedies outlined elsewhere in these Terms and/or as available under applicable laws, rules and regulations.
8.1. Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend or terminate your Account, withdraw your offers for Bets, void any Bets outstanding tied to your Account, and/or cancel (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval) any unmatched Bets or cancel and void any outstanding or matched Bets placed by you at our absolute discretion and without cause if:
8.1.1. We suspect that you:
i. are engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity while using our Services;
ii. are breaching any term of these Terms, including the House Rules;
iii. are taking unfair advantage over us or any other player or are otherwise acting in an unfair manner (for example, by exploiting a fault, loophole or error in our software, by collusion or by any other means);
iv. may be having difficulties obtaining credit, have become bankrupt or that you may have self-excluded;
v. are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties, including, without limitation, if we suspect that your Account’s usage could represent ‘business usage’ (‘business usage’ includes any use by a betting operator or any use by an individual or organization supplying data or services to a betting operator);
vi. we have the right to do so as set out in any of our Additional Terms;
vii. are prohibited from entering into a Bet by any term of your contract of employment or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body which applies to you; or
viii. place a Bet on any sporting match or event in which you take part.
8.1.2. We are required to do so by law or regulatory authority.

8.3. If you have a query relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify Betway at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as Betway may require.
8.4. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we may, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your Account to you. However, subject to any required regulatory approval, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9.1. For the purpose of this Section 9, “suspicious betting” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
9.1.8. where we reasonably believe that Bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
9.2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
9.2.1. request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
9.2.3. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by Betway, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.

11. Master Offer and Promotions Terms
11.1. Overview. These Master Offer and Promotions Terms (“Master Promotional Terms”) apply to all Betway offers and promotions (each, a “Promotion”). Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation (“Promotion Terms”), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play.
11.3. How to Qualify. To qualify for a Promotion, during the offer period set forth in the Promotion Terms (the “Promotion Period”), eligible individuals must visit their Account and follow the instructions in the Promotion Terms on how to participate and place an eligible wager (each an “Eligible Wager”). All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit or credit card, etc.) shared device, and/or shared location (e.g., public library, restaurant, workplace, etc.) Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in Arizona), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address.

For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account.You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;

9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event.Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.

9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or

9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;

9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
9.5. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval), any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
9.6. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1.

Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Services, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Services. The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to us in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

(The Wire Act) and 31 U.S.C.§§ 5361 through 5367 (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act). It is a federal offense for persons physically located outside of Iowa to engage in Internet wagering through a Iowa casino, unless explicitly authorized by the IGRC.

You expressly waive the right to receive any disclosures that would normally be required to be made to you by applicable laws as part of an employment screening as you acknowledge that the purpose of the background check is not for employment purposes but rather to ensure the safety of the Betway community. Betway may use a third party service provider to issue the background check and you authorize Betway to provide your information to such third party for purposes of obtaining such background check.

Provided that we have been correctly supplied with the Account information requested, we are entitled to assume that offers and payments are made by you. You should change your password on a regular basis and never disclose it to any third party. You undertake to protect your username and password in the same way that you would in respect of your bank cards. Any failure to do so shall be at your sole risk and expense. If a third party accesses your Account, you are solely responsible for that third party’s actions, whether or not that third party’s access was authorized by you, and you hereby indemnify Betway and Diamond Jo and hold Betway and Diamond Jo harmless against all costs, claims, expenses, and damages howsoever arising in connection with the use of or access to your Account by any third party.

6.4. Betway reserves the right to refuse to register you as an Account holder, either with or without cause. Betway reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account at any time, either with or without cause, upon notice (we will use our reasonable endeavours to give such notice to you either before or after suspending or terminating your Account).

7. Deposits & Withdrawals
7.1. Deposits. To make Bets on the Services, you need to deposit funds in your Account. Funds deposited via a payment provider may take a few days to clear before they are held in this Account, during which time they will be held in the account of the relevant payment provider. The funds in your Account are held on your behalf by way of security to meet any payment obligations you may incur as a result of playing the games on the Services or using any of the other products or services supplied by Betway. Also, please be aware that an amount equal to the sum of an amount of funds that are required by state gaming regulators plus an amount required by our contractual obligations is held in a separate non set-off account in the name of the casino license holder, Diamond Jo.

7.1.1. All money that you deposit in your Account originates from a payment source of which you are the legal owner;

7.1.3. All payments made into your Account are authorized and you will not attempt to reverse a payment made into your Account or take any action which will cause such a payment to be reversed by a third party in order to avoid any legitimate liability.
You accept that all transactions may be checked for the detection of money laundering and that any transactions made by you which Betway or Diamond Jo deems suspicious may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

The adequacy and sufficiency of any source of funds documents or other submitted proof provided by you is at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion and Betway reserves the right to request additional documents or other forms of proof from you in its sole and absolute discretion.

8. Suspension & Termination
8.1. Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend or terminate your Account, withdraw your offers for Bets, void any Bets outstanding tied to your Account, and/or cancel (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval) any unmatched Bets or cancel and void any outstanding or matched Bets placed by you at our absolute discretion and without cause if:
8.1.1. We suspect that you:
i. are engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity while using our Services;
ii. are breaching any term of these Terms, including the House Rules;
iii. are taking unfair advantage over us or any other player or are otherwise acting in an unfair manner (for example, by exploiting a fault, loophole or error in our software, by collusion or by any other means);
iv. may be having difficulties obtaining credit, have become bankrupt or that you may have self-excluded;
v. are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties, including, without limitation, if we suspect that your Account’s usage could represent ‘business usage’ (‘business usage’ includes any use by a betting operator or any use by an individual or organization supplying data or services to a betting operator);
vi. we have the right to do so as set out in any of our Additional Terms;
vii. are prohibited from entering into a Bet by any term of your contract of employment or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body which applies to you; or
viii. place a Bet on any sporting match or event in which you take part.

8.3. If you have a query relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify Betway at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as Betway may require.
8.4. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we may, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your Account to you. However, subject to any required regulatory approval, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9. Suspicious Betting
9.1. For the purpose of this Section 9, “suspicious betting” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
9.1.8. where we reasonably believe that Bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
9.2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
9.2.1. request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
9.2.3. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by Betway, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
9.5. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval), any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
9.6. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1. This right is without prejudice to any other rights (including common law rights) that we may have against you, whether under these Terms or otherwise.
9.7. We will not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any loss you or any other person may incur as a result of the collusive or other behaviour in breach of this Section 9. Further, we reserve the right, but shall not be obliged, to take any other actions in the case of any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.
9.8. In exercising any of our rights under this Section 9, we shall ensure that we exercise such rights in a manner which is fair to you and to our customers generally. If you have any comments or queries in respect of this Section 9, please do not hesitate to contact us.
10. Bonuses
10.1. We may from time to time offer complimentary or bonus amounts or wagers to be credited by us into your Account (“Bonus(es)”). Such Bonuses may only be used in relation to such Services as may be specified when the Bonus is offered to you. Acceptance of any Bonus shall be in accordance with additional terms and conditions we may make available to you in respect of each such Bonus offering and, if none, then in accordance with the Master Promotional Terms (defined below) and Bonus release restrictions contained in the relevant offer. Offers may be used only once unless otherwise specified. You are not entitled to withdraw any Bonus amounts and you may not remove any cash obtained via a Bonus from your Account without first complying with the applicable terms, including, without limitation, in respect of any qualifiers or restrictions.
11. Master Offer and Promotions Terms
11.1. Overview. These Master Offer and Promotions Terms (“Master Promotional Terms”) apply to all Betway offers and promotions (each, a “Promotion”). Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation (“Promotion Terms”), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play.
11.3. How to Qualify. To qualify for a Promotion, during the offer period set forth in the Promotion Terms (the “Promotion Period”), eligible individuals must visit their Account and follow the instructions in the Promotion Terms on how to participate and place an eligible wager (each an “Eligible Wager”). All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit card or E-Wallet, etc.), shared device, and/or shared location (e.g., public library, restaurant, workplace etc.). Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in Iowa), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and the Betway Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. The Betway Parties are not responsible for and winner will not receive the difference, in any, between the actual value of the prizes at the time of award and the stated ARV in any Promotion-related correspondence or material.
11.6. Administration. The Betway Parties expressly reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate any Promotion at any time without prior notice or consent. If the Betway Parties decide to amend or terminate a Promotion, this will not impact patrons who have registered for the Promotion before such changes or withdrawal go into effect. Administration of a Promotion is at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties. Any questions relating to eligibility, these Master Promotional Terms and Conditions or any other questions concerning a Promotion will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties and their decisions will be final and binding with respect thereto.

31. General
31.1. Third Party Linking.
31.1.1. At Betway’s discretion, the Websites or other Services may contain links to third party websites. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Betway of the contents on such third party websites. Betway is not responsible for the content of linked third party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third party sites. LINKS TO ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY ARE NOT INTENDED FOR TRADING OR INVESTING PURPOSES AND BETWAY WILL ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR ANY OTHER LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. IF YOU DECIDE TO ACCESS LINKED THIRD PARTY WEBSITES, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
31.1.2. Betway generally welcomes the hyper-linking to our Websites from other appropriate websites provided such links are to our homepage (and no deeper within the Website) and provided Betway gives its written consent to the establishment of such links. Betway reserves the absolute right to refuse to consent to such links without giving reasons. Any links to the Websites from another website must be presented in such a manner that the viewing of the Websites is not impaired by framing or similar techniques that may impair a browser’s experience.
31.1.3. Betway does not permit linking from its Websites or its Services to third party websites or services or the display of third party content on top of, or in addition or as an alternative to, our Websites or Services without our express written consent. In particular, Betway expressly prohibits third parties from framing, similar techniques or other acts of impairment of a user’s experience when they visit our Websites or engage with our Services. To this end, and by your acceptance of these Terms whether as registered member or otherwise, you hereby acknowledge that where you engage in any of the foregoing prohibited actions: (i) damages may not be an adequate remedy for any infringement and that we are entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance, an order to deliver up materials which infringe our intellectual property rights and any other statutory or equitable relief and that no proof of special damages is necessary for reliance on such remedies; and (ii) you shall indemnify us for any liabilities, losses or damages (including reasonable legal fees), however caused, that may arise as a result of or in connection with your non-compliance with this Section.
31.2. Transfer and Assignment. On occasion, we may require the ability to transfer, assign or sublicense these Terms to a third party, for example (but without limitation) in the case of our engaging new third party service providers in respect of the certain gaming services or in the case of a merger or acquisition. You hereby consent, and we reserve the right to, transfer, assign or sub-licence these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person without requiring any additional consent and without notice, provided that any such assignment will be on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you. You may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer in any manner whatsoever any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
31.3. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable by reason of any law, rule, administrative order or judicial decision, that provision will be, to the extent strictly necessary, severed from the remaining terms and conditions and that determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms. In the case of the severance of any terms, the part deemed invalid or unenforceable shall be amended in a manner consistent with the applicable law to reflect, as closely as possible, the original intent in these Terms.
31.4. Waiver. Failure by Betway to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations and a waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
31.5. Notices. Notices and other communications delivered or mailed to the postal address or to the electronic-mail address provided by you shall, until we have received notice in writing of any different address, be deemed to have been personally delivered once sent whether actually received or not.

These Terms and any documents referred to herein represent the entire agreement between Betway and you and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement, whether oral or in writing. We each acknowledge that we have not relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or implied from anything said or written in negotiations between us except as expressly stated in these Terms.
31.7. Communications. When you communicate with us electronically, such as via e-mail and text message, you consent to receive communications from us electronically. Please note that we are not obligated to respond to inquiries that we receive. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

We reserve the right, without any limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of the Services’ security or its information technology or other systems or networks; (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms; (iii) investigate any information obtained by us in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws; (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters; (v) prosecute violators of these Terms; and (vi) discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in any additional terms, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any Accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party. Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to us under these Terms. Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Services, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Services. The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to us in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

UNDERAGE GAMBLING IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND ANYONE WHO FACILITATES GAMBLING BY A PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF TWENTY-ONE (21) HAS COMMITTED A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND SHALL BE PROHIBITED FROM INTERNET GAMING. Betway takes its age-verification responsibilities very seriously. We carry out age-verification checks on all customers at the time of Account establishment.

4.3.2. You agree to provide accurate registration information when opening your Account, including, without limitation, your first and last name, your correct date of birth, the last four (4) digits and/or the entirety of your social security number, your current address, email address and personal telephone number.

4.3.3. You acknowledge that you are opening your non-transferable account with Betway solely for your personal use, and are acting as a principal and not as an agent on behalf of a third party;
4.3.4. You will not attempt to sell or otherwise transfer the benefit of your Account to any third party and nor will you acquire or attempt to acquire an Account which has been opened in the name of a third party;
4.3.5. You are entirely responsible for complying (and that you comply) with your own local, national, federal, state or other laws concerning betting and gaming prior to opening an Account, placing any bets, stakes or wagers (together “Bets”) or using the Services. In particular, if you are located outside of a Louisiana parish in which sports wagering has been allowed, you must not place Bets or participate in any gambling activities on the Services;

(The Wire Act) and 31 U.S.C.§§3163 through 3167 (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act)). It is a federal offense for persons physically located outside of Louisiana to engage in Internet wagering through a Louisiana casino, unless explicitly authorized by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. The availability of our Services does not constitute an offer, solicitation or invitation by us for the use of our Services outside of Louisiana.

4.5. Prohibited Betway Participants.

4.7. Background Checks/Investigations. Betway reserves the right, at our discretion, to perform any and all reasonable investigations on customers for the purpose of verifying information about customers, such as source of funds, background history and criminal history. When you register for an Account, you authorize and consent for Betway to conduct a background check on you, including, without limitation, for the purpose of fulfilling federal and state compliance obligations.

If required by applicable regulatory requirements, we will notify you of the reason for such investigation and will provide updates on the status of the investigation every tenth business day from the day we send you the initial notification. To the extent that the investigation reveals conduct that is either fraudulent or illegal, Betway is entitled to deny your withdrawal request and shall be entitled to seek any other remedies outlined elsewhere in these Terms and/or as available under applicable laws, rules and regulations.

8.3. If you have a query relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify Betway at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as Betway may require.
8.4. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we may, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your Account to you. However, subject to any required regulatory approval, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9. Suspicious Betting
9.1. For the purpose of this Section 9, “suspicious betting” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
9.1.8. where we reasonably believe that Bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
9.2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
9.2.1. request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
9.2.3. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by Betway, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
9.5. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval), any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
9.6. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1. This right is without prejudice to any other rights (including common law rights) that we may have against you, whether under these Terms or otherwise.
9.7. We will not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any loss you or any other person may incur as a result of the collusive or other behaviour in breach of this Section 9.

Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation (“Promotion Terms”), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which, was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play
11.3. How to Qualify. To qualify for a Promotion, during the offer period set forth in the Promotion Terms (the “Promotion Period”), eligible individuals must visit their Account and follow the instructions in the Promotion Terms on how to participate and place an eligible wager (each an “Eligible Wager”). All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit or credit card, etc.) shared device, and/or shared location (e.g., public library, restaurant, workplace, etc). Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in Louisiana), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and the Betway Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. The Betway Parties are not responsible for and winner will not receive the difference, in any, between the actual value of the prizes at the time of award and the stated ARV in any Promotion-related correspondence or material.
11.6. Administration. The Betway Parties expressly reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate any Promotion at any time without prior notice or consent. Administration of a Promotion is at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties. Any questions relating to eligibility, these Master Promotional Terms and Conditions or any other questions concerning a Promotion will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties and their decisions will be final and binding with respect thereto. No groups, clubs, corporations, companies, partnerships, or organizations may participate in any Promotion or reproduce or distribute any portion of these Master Promotional Terms to their members.
11.7. Publicity Release. Subject to applicable law, participants in each Promotion irrevocably grant the Betway Parties and each of their licensees, and their successors, assigns and sub-licensees, the right and permission to use their name, voice, likeness and/or biographical material for advertising, promotional and/or publicity purposes in connection with the Promotion, in all forms of media and by all manners (now and hereafter known), and in connection with related products, services, advertising and promotional materials (now known or hereafter developed), worldwide, in perpetuity, without any obligation, notice or consideration, except for the awarding of the Bonus to the recipients.
11.8. Tampering with Any Promotion. The Betway Parties are not responsible for the actions of entrants in connection with the Promotion, including entrants’ attempts to circumvent these Master Promotional Terms or otherwise interfere with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of a Promotion. Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of a Promotion, or whom Betway believes to be causing malfunction, error, disruption or damage may be disqualified. Additionally, any attempt to cheat a Promotion, as determined at the sole and absolute discretion of Betway, may result in immediate disqualification of the participant, as well as other possible consequences, including disqualification from any and all existing and future Promotions. ANY ATTEMPT BY A PERSON TO DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE (INCLUDING ANY BETTING APPS) OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF A PROMOTION MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, BETWAY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK ALL LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Betway reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify (or terminate the Bonus of) any individual who is found to be, or suspected of, acting in violation of these Master Promotional Terms, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike, obscene, immoral or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.
11.9. Suspension / Modification / Termination. In the event Betway is prevented from continuing with a Promotion by any event beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with a Promotion by any party, or any federal, state, local or provincial government law, order, or regulation, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Betway’s control (each, a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence), Betway shall have the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Promotion or Bonus.

You hereby consent, and we reserve the right to, transfer, assign or sub-licence these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person without requiring any additional consent and without notice, provided that any such assignment will be on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you.

Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Services, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Services. The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to us in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

(The Wire Act) and 31 U.S.C.§§5361 through 5367 (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act)). It is a federal offense for persons physically located outside of New Jersey to engage in Internet wagering through a New Jersey casino, unless explicitly authorized by the NJDGE.

You expressly waive the right to receive any disclosures that would normally be required to be made to you by applicable laws as part of an employment screening as you acknowledge that the purpose of the background check is not for employment purposes but rather to ensure the safety of the Betway community. Betway may use a third party service provider to issue the background check and you authorize Betway to provide your information to such third party for purposes of obtaining such background check. To the extent you fail the background check, in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion, you will be denied access to the Services. BETWAY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS OR OTHER THIRD PARTY SOURCES. YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO BETWAY CONDUCTING SUCH BACKGROUND CHECK AT THE TIME YOU REGISTER FOR AN ACCOUNT AND ANY TIME THEREAFTER TO THE EXTENT YOU MAINTAIN AN ACCOUNT ON THE SERVICES.

8.1.1. We suspect that you:

v. are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties, including, without limitation, if we suspect that your Account’s usage could represent ‘business usage’ (‘business usage’ includes any use by a betting operator or any use by an individual or organization supplying data or services to a betting operator);
vi. we have the right to do so as set out in any of our Additional Terms;
vii. are prohibited from entering into a Bet by any term of your contract of employment or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body which applies to you; or
viii. place a Bet on any sporting match or event in which you take part.

8.2. Irrespective of whether we suspend or terminate an Account and notwithstanding any other provisions in these Terms, we may decide to cancel or void (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval) any Bets at our absolute discretion where there is a technological failure.
8.3. If you have a query relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify Betway at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as Betway may require.
8.4. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we may, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your Account to you. However, subject to any required regulatory approval, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9.1. For the purpose of this Section 9, "suspicious betting" shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
9.1.8. where we reasonably believe that Bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
9.2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
9.2.1. request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
9.2.3. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by Betway, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party;
9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
9.5. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval), any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
9.6. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1. This right is without prejudice to any other rights (including common law rights) that we may have against you, whether under these Terms or otherwise.
9.7. We will not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any loss you or any other person may incur as a result of the collusive or other behaviour in breach of this Section 9. Further, we reserve the right, but shall not be obliged, to take any other actions in the case of any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.
9.8. In exercising any of our rights under this Section 9, we shall ensure that we exercise such rights in a manner which is fair to you and to our customers generally. If you have any comments or queries in respect of this Section 9, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We may from time to time offer complimentary or bonus amounts or wagers to be credited by us into your Account ("Bonus(es)"). Such Bonuses may only be used in relation to such Services as may be specified when the Bonus is offered to you. Acceptance of any Bonus shall be in accordance with additional terms and conditions we may make available to you in respect of each such Bonus offering and, if none, then in accordance with the Master Promotional Terms (defined below) and Bonus release restrictions contained in the relevant offer. Offers may be used only once unless otherwise specified. You are not entitled to withdraw any Bonus amounts and you may not remove any cash obtained via a Bonus from your Account without first complying with the applicable terms, including, without limitation, in respect of any qualifiers or restrictions.
11. Master Offer and Promotions Terms
11.1. Overview. These Master Offer and Promotions Terms ("Master Promotional Terms") apply to all Betway offers and promotions (each, a "Promotion"). Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation ("Promotion Terms"), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play.
11.3. How to Qualify. To qualify for a Promotion, during the offer period set forth in the Promotion Terms (the "Promotion Period"), eligible individuals must visit their Account and follow the instructions in the Promotion Terms on how to participate and place an eligible wager (each an "Eligible Wager"). All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit or credit card, etc.) or shared computer (e.g., public library or workplace). Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in New Jersey), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded "AS IS" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value ("ARV") of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and the Betway Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. The Betway Parties are not responsible for and winner will not receive the difference, in any, between the actual value of the prizes at the time of award and the stated ARV in any Promotion-related correspondence or material.
11.6. Administration. The Betway Parties expressly reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate any Promotion at any time without prior notice or consent. Administration of a Promotion is at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties. Any questions relating to eligibility, these Master Promotional Terms and Conditions or any other questions concerning a Promotion will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties and their decisions will be final and binding with respect thereto. No groups, clubs, corporations, companies, partnerships, or organizations may participate in any Promotion or reproduce or distribute any portion of these Master Promotional Terms to their members.
11.7. Publicity Release. Subject to applicable law, participants in each Promotion irrevocably grant the Betway Parties and each of their licensees, and their successors, assigns and sub-licensees, the right and permission to use their name, voice, likeness and/or biographical material for advertising, promotional and/or publicity purposes in connection with the Promotion, in all forms of media and by all manners (now and hereafter known), and in connection with related products, services, advertising and promotional materials (now known or hereafter developed), worldwide, in perpetuity, without any obligation, notice or consideration, except for the awarding of the Bonus to the recipients.
11.8. Tampering with Any Promotion. The Betway Parties are not responsible for the actions of entrants in connection with the Promotion, including entrants’ attempts to circumvent these Master Promotional Terms or otherwise interfere with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of a Promotion. Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of a Promotion, or whom Betway believes to be causing malfunction, error, disruption or damage may be disqualified. Additionally, any attempt to cheat a Promotion, as determined at the sole and absolute discretion of Betway, may result in immediate disqualification of the participant, as well as other possible consequences, including disqualification from any and all existing and future Promotions. ANY ATTEMPT BY A PERSON TO DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE (INCLUDING ANY BETTING APPS) OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF A PROMOTION MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, BETWAY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK ALL LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Betway reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify (or terminate the Bonus of) any individual who is found to be, or suspected of, acting in violation of these Master Promotional Terms, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike, obscene, immoral or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.
11.9. Suspension / Modification / Termination. In the event Betway is prevented from continuing with a Promotion by any event beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with a Promotion by any party, or any federal, state, local or provincial government law, order, or regulation, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Betway’s control (each, a "Force Majeure" event or occurrence), Betway shall have the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Promotion or Bonus. Betway additionally reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) to modify, suspend or terminate the Promotion should causes beyond Betway’s control corrupt or interfere with the administration, integrity, operation, security or proper play of the Promotion; or (b) to disqualify any participant found to be, or suspected of: (i) tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion; (ii) acting in violation of these Master Promotional Terms; or (iii) acting in an un-sportsmanlike manner.
11.10. Release and Waiver of Liability. By participating and/or redeeming any Promotion Bonus, in addition to the indemnities set forth in Section 29, participants agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Betway Parties (defined below) from and against any and all liability claims or actions of any kind whatsoever (however named or described) for injuries, death, damages or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with: (i) your participation in a Promotion; (ii) the receipt, use or misuse of the Bonus; and (iii) while preparing for, participating in, and/or traveling to any Promotion-related activity, including those damages caused by the Betway Parties’ own negligence. The Betway Parties expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery and/or subsequent use or misuse of a Bonus. The Betway Parties are not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information, including errors or typos in these Master Promotional Terms, the Promotion Terms or any Promotion-related communication or materials, whether caused by a Betway Parties or participants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion.

To the extent that the investigation reveals conduct that is either fraudulent or illegal, Betway is entitled to deny your withdrawal request and shall be entitled to seek any other remedies outlined elsewhere in these Terms and/or as available under applicable laws, rules and regulations.
8. Suspension & Termination

Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend or terminate your Account, withdraw your offers for Bets, void any Bets outstanding tied to your Account, and/or cancel (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval) any unmatched Bets or cancel and void any outstanding or matched Bets placed by you at our absolute discretion and without cause if:

8.3. If you have a query relating to your Account, it is your responsibility to notify Betway at the earliest opportunity, providing as much information as Betway may require.
8.4. Following termination or suspension of your Account, we may, in the normal course of events, return any funds in your Account to you. However, subject to any required regulatory approval, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account from you pending the determination of any investigation (including any relevant external investigation) where:
8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9. Suspicious Betting
9.1. For the purpose of this Section 9, “suspicious betting” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bets have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
9.1.1. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
9.1.2. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of Bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
9.1.3. where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);
9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
9.1.5. where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
9.1.6. where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
9.1.7. where we otherwise believe, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or
9.1.8. where we reasonably believe that Bets have been placed from a location or Device other than the location or Device which you claim to have used to place a Bet.
9.2. In the case of any of the activities contemplated by Section 9.1, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
9.2.1. request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the Bet or Bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 9.1;
9.2.2. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a Bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 9.1. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected breach of these Terms;
9.2.3. suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by Betway, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
9.2.4. subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, void a Bet or a string of connected Bets (including, for example, multiples) prior to the event. Where possible and subject to regulatory approvals (if required), we shall communicate to you in advance that the Bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Bet(s); or
9.2.5. where there is an inordinate frequency and/or unusual pattern of Bets placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the Bets are connected Bets, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Bets (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Bets on any particular market or markets as set out in the House Rules.
9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
9.4. We reserve the right to terminate an Account if we reasonably suspect any of the activities described in Section 9.1 in connection with that Account.
9.5. Where a Bet is deemed to be, or is declared, void by us prior to an event (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval), any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Bet shall be credited to your Account.
9.6. We reserve the right to seek to recover from you any losses we suffer that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities contemplated in Section 9.1. This right is without prejudice to any other rights (including common law rights) that we may have against you, whether under these Terms or otherwise.
9.7. We will not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any loss you or any other person may incur as a result of the collusive or other behaviour in breach of this Section 9.

Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation (“Promotion Terms”), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which, was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play

All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit or credit card, etc.) shared device, and/or shared location (e.g., public library, restaurant, workplace, etc). Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in Ohio), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and the Betway Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. The Betway Parties are not responsible for and winner will not receive the difference, in any, between the actual value of the prizes at the time of award and the stated ARV in any Promotion-related correspondence or material.
11.6. Administration. The Betway Parties expressly reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate any Promotion at any time without prior notice or consent. Administration of a Promotion is at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties. Any questions relating to eligibility, these Master Promotional Terms and Conditions or any other questions concerning a Promotion will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Betway Parties and their decisions will be final and binding with respect thereto. No groups, clubs, corporations, companies, partnerships, or organizations may participate in any Promotion or reproduce or distribute any portion of these Master Promotional Terms to their members.
11.7. Publicity Release.

Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of a Promotion, or whom Betway believes to be causing malfunction, error, disruption or damage may be disqualified. Additionally, any attempt to cheat a Promotion, as determined at the sole and absolute discretion of Betway, may result in immediate disqualification of the participant, as well as other possible consequences, including disqualification from any and all existing and future Promotions.

Betway reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to disqualify (or terminate the Bonus of) any individual who is found to be, or suspected of, acting in violation of these Master Promotional Terms, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike, obscene, immoral or disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.
11.9. Suspension / Modification / Termination. In the event Betway is prevented from continuing with a Promotion by any event beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with a Promotion by any party, or any federal, state, local or provincial government law, order, or regulation, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Betway’s control (each, a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence), Betway shall have the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Promotion or Bonus.

13.2 Live Betting, Cash Out and Add to Bet
13.2.1 Live Betting
(i) In addition to the rest of these terms, the following rules apply to betting that takes place while an event is in progress ("Live Betting").
(a) we reserve the right to void (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval) any part of any, or all, Bets on any Live Betting event that is not completed (i.e., abandoned, postponed, etc.);
(b) where an Obvious Error (defined below) is made in offers made, prices offered or Bets accepted or otherwise in connection with the transmission of any event on which we have purported to offer Live Betting, such Obvious Error will be addressed in accordance with Section 6 of the Sportsbook House Rules and;
(c) where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet is placed after the outcome of an event is known, we reserve the right to void the Bet (subject to any applicable required regulatory approval).
(ii) Please note that in the case of Live Betting, you may not at any time be able to see or otherwise be provided with the most up-to-date information in relation to the relevant event, including for example (but without limitation), through delayed coverage, a slow connection or equipment, or other system flaws, faults, errors or service interruption. When checking live betting odds, live event start times or any other live event markets, please be aware that such information is provided as a guide only and we accept no liability for the outcome of any inaccuracies which may occur. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to check such information is accurate at the time of publication. Betway shall not be liable for any delay in relaying up-to-date information.
(iii) In addition to the rest of these terms relating to Live Betting (which apply equally to our cash out functionality), the rules relating to the Cash Out functionality are further described below). Please note in particular that for a variety of reasons (including for example technical issues, human error, suspicions of fraud or other improprieties and/or other issues outside of our control), Betway cannot guarantee the availability at all times of the Cash Out functionality, even where the functionality has been advertised in connection with a particular event. Please be aware and accept, therefore, that unless Cash Out is available and successfully exercised in connection with a particular Bet, your initial Bet will, unless otherwise provided in accordance with these Terms or the Sportsbook House Rules, stand as originally placed.
13.2.2. Cash Out.
(i) Cash Out is a real-time feature that allows you to settle a Bet before the Bet would otherwise be expected to settle (“Cash Out”). Cash Out is valid on single, parlay and round robin Bets. Cash Out is valid on both pre-game and In-Play Betting Bets. Betway does not guarantee the availability of the Cash Out functionality at all times, even where the functionality has been advertised in connection with a particular event. Betway will not be held responsible if the Cash Out functionality is not available due to technical issue. In such circumstances, any Bets placed will stand regardless of the availability of the Cash Out feature. Pressing the Cash Out button and confirming against an eligible unsettled Bet will immediately process the settlement of your Bet at the Cash Out amount displayed. Note: once the Cash Out is agreed, the Cash Out cannot be reversed. Once processed, details of the Cash Out will be made available in your Bet history. Betway reserves the right to decline the Cash Out settlement in the following circumstances: (a)If the Cash Out amount has been incorrectly displayed; or or (b) If Betway has reason to believe that the Cash Out has been carried out after the outcome of the relevant event was known.
(ii) If you make a Cash Out request, you will be notified whether or not your request has been successful. Your request to Cash Out is not guaranteed to be accepted and may be unsuccessful if, for example, the market suspends or the odds move before your request has been processed.
(iii) If your Cash Out request is successful, a 'success' message will be displayed and your Bet (or the relevant portion of your Bet) will be settled immediately and any winnings equal to the amount displayed on the Cash Out Button will be returned to your account. Note that this includes the original stake (or portion of your stake). For a full Cash Out, the Bet is settled, and any subsequent events will have no impact on the amount returned to your account. For a partial Cash Out (defined below), part of your Bet is settled and any subsequent events will only impact on the portion of your Bet which you have not cashed out.
(iv) If your Cash Out request is unsuccessful, a message will be displayed which provides the reason why and a new Cash Out offer may be offered to you.
(v) Cash Out requests made in-play may take longer to process because of the in-play Bet delay.
(vi) Cash Out is not currently available on all Betway markets - a Cash Out icon will be displayed for the markets that support Cash Out. See the Help page for more details on when Cash Out may not be available. Betway will not be liable for any losses that may arise from the Cash Out feature being unavailable for any reason. (vii) Using Cash Out may mean you will opt out of and no longer be eligible for a particular promotion. See the terms and conditions of the promotion for further details. (viii) Betway reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a Cash Out if the Bet or a market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error). If Betway resettles a Bet, this may lead to amendments being made to your balance to reflect changes in Bet settlement. If an incorrect Cash Out offer is presented to you and then accepted due to a technical fault, Betway reserves the right to resettle the Bet using the correct Cash Out offer.
(ix) Betway reserves the right to suspend or disable the Cash Out feature at any time.
13.3 Gaming with Other Customers
13.3.1. Betway does not offer peer to peer games on the Services in the State of Ohio.
13.4 Unexpected Events and Other Changes
To the extent there is any inconsistency between the rules contained in Section 5 of the Sportsbook House Rules and the Specific Sports Rules applying to a specific event, the following general rules will prevail:
- If an event or events occur beyond the reasonable control of Betway such as an epidemic, pandemic, flood, fire, earthquake, element of nature or act of god, act of war, terrorism, riot, rebellion, strike, blockade, labor disruption or other cause, that materially impact(s) any sporting or other event (or a series of events in a season), which is the subject of a contingency or outcome of an event offered by Betway, Betway may, acting in good faith, exercise its discretion to void, cancel, restrict or otherwise alter or adjust the payout (in whole or in part) of the affected wager(s) placed on the relevant event (including, without limitation, retrospectively taking any of the actions contemplated once a Bet has been placed and before or after it has been resolved). For the avoidance of doubt, “impact” on any sporting or other event includes, without limitation:
- Any reduction in the number of games or matches in a season;
- Any material change in the length of a game or match or when the matches are played;
- A material change to the format or rules of the relevant event(s), series or competitions as determined by the relevant sports body; or
- A change in the location of any match, game or event.
13.5 Change of Venue
- Some events have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if change of venue is not specified within the Specific Sports Rules then the following terms shall apply:
- For any team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after a Bet is placed, all Bets will be void only if the new venue is a home ground of the original away team (or in the case of international matches, only if the venue changes to a venue in a different country).
- For all categories other than team sports: if the scheduled venue is changed after a Bet is placed, all Bets will stand.
- If there is a change in the type of scheduled surface (e.g., a hockey match switching from grass to astroturf) after a Bet is placed, all Bets will stand.
13.6. Periods of Time
- Some events have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if not specified within the Specific Sports Rules then the following shall apply.
- If the scheduled duration of an event is changed after a Bet is placed but before the start of the event, then all Bets will be void (subject to applicable regulatory approvals).
- Some wagers refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event (e.g., time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at the end of the regular time period.
- All Bets apply to the relevant full 'regular time' period including stoppage time. Any extra-time and/or penalty shoot-out is not included.
- References within these Terms and/or Sportsbook House Rules to a particular number of 'days' shall mean the end of the day local time after the expiry of the specified number of days.
13.7 Dead Heats
- Unless stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules the Dead Heat Rule applies to Bets on a sport where there are more winners than expected.
- If a "dead-heat" between two selections is declared on any event, half the stake is applied to the selection at full odds and the other half is lost. If more than two "dead-heats" are declared, the stake is proportioned accordingly.
- If not otherwise stated as a push settlement, in the event of a tie, where no 'draw' option was offered by Betway on such outcome, wagers will be paid at face value (total payout figure including the initial stake) divided by the number of competitors tied for that placing. The stake is proportioned according to the number of competitors tied for that placing.
13.8 Maximum Winnings
- For all events listed below, the maximum payout limits apply on a per day basis. If you place a Bet that exceeds the applicable limits for a particular event, the relevant maximum payouts will still apply.
- The maximum payout limits refer to the total returns on your Bets, excluding your original stake.
- The maximum payout limits apply to any one customer or group of customers acting together, backing the same combination of selections, regardless of whether or not such Bets are struck separately, at a range of different prices, on different days and through a number of different accounts. If Betway believes that a number of Bets have been placed in this way, the total payment of all those Bets combined will be limited to one single maximum payout.
- The maximum payouts shown below are shown in U.S. Dollars. If Bets are placed in another currency, the maximum payout will be converted using the applicable exchange rate on the day of settlement of the Bets.
- The maximum payout limits will apply to the events shown (please note, if a multiple/parlay Bet has been placed which involves events with different maximum payout limits, the lowest applicable maximum payout limit will apply to the whole of your parlay Bet. For example, if you place a parlay Bet on football and on a tennis match, your winnings will be capped at $200,000 and not $500,000).
- For games in which we offer same game parlay, the maximum payout will be equal to the overall maximum payout of the event involved.

Overall Maximum Daily Payout Limit: Subject to any lower limits that may apply in respect of any particular event (as set out above), the overall maximum daily payout limit to any customer for all winning Bets placed on Betway products combined is $500,000. If you place winning Bets on those products that exceed this daily limit, your winnings will be reduced to $500,000 and the remainder of your winnings in excess of $500,000 will be forfeited by you.
13.9 Parlays
- A parlay Bet consists of a number of legs. A leg is defined as one or more chosen selections in any individual event.
- Betway reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain parlay Bets or to scale back stakes.
- All parlay Bets placed are subject to the Sportsbook House Rules that apply to each individual sport that relates to any leg of any parlay Bet.
- If any selection in any leg is a non-runner or otherwise void under the Sportsbook House Rules (e.g., an abandoned match) then all Bets on that individual leg will be void and the parlay Bet shall be adjusted accordingly. For example, a three-leg parlay including one void leg will become a double. If that voided leg means that an individual Bet within a parlay becomes a single Bet, then this single Bet will stand.
- Parlay Bets combining different selections within the same event are not accepted when there are related contingencies (i.e., where the outcome of one event is likely to affect the odds on the outcome of another event). The rejection of related contingency Bets may happen automatically at the Bet placement stage. However, if such a Bet is taken in error, Betway may settle the individual Bet combinations which include two or more of the related contingency selections, as single Bets.
- Parlay Bets that combine different selections within the same event are not accepted where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other. If such a Bet is taken in error, the Bet will be cancelled.
- Same game parlay: You can build your own unique bets using Betway’s same game parlay feature. Same game parlay Bets are considered to be those that have been placed through the same game parlay feature and due to being interrelated could not have been placed as a standard Bet type. Same game parlay Bets are subject to the following conditions:
- A maximum of six (6) markets from a single match can be included in a same game parlay Bet.
- If a market within a same game parlay Bet is void/pushed, then the entire same game parlay Bet will be void/pushed (e.g., if your goal scorer selection does not play the entire Bet will be void regardless of the outcome of the other selections).
- Betway will not be responsible if the same game parlay feature is not available for technical reasons.
- Betway reserves the right to accept or decline any Bet requested for any competition or market or Bet type that is included in the same game parlay feature.
- Betway reserves the right to amend, suspend or remove the same game parlay feature (or any part of it) at any time for any event, fixture, market or patron.
- Betway reserves the right to remove the same game parlay feature for any patron or group of patrons where it has reasonable grounds to believe that the patron or group of patrons is misusing the feature.
- The same game parlay feature is only available on select sports that are available on the Services where the same game parlay feature toggle is specifically made available for use in connection with an event or wager.
13.10 Betway Boosts
- Any Bet for which we offer enhanced odds, including, Betway Boosts or Super Boost("Betway Boost"), including, without limitation, Betway Boosts on parlay bets, will be settled on the basis of normal time and injury time (i.e., excluding any extra time, penalties or similar) unless otherwise specified in the relevant Bet or Bet rules.
- Unless otherwise stated, Bets for which Betway Boosts are offered will be governed by Betway's usual settlement rules.
- We reserve the right to void any Bet with an Betway Boost if: (i) the enhanced price was intended to apply to pre-match Bets only and (ii) we erroneously accepted the Bet, at its enhanced price, after the relevant event started.
- We reserve the right to withdraw any Betway Boosts and edit the respective odds on the enhanced price.
- Unless stated otherwise in the Betway Boost offer, the Bets refer to the next official event that the listed team/participant(s) are scheduled to participate in.
- Markets can tend to fluctuate in price quite often which can sometimes lead to the Betway Boost price not representing any enhanced value in comparison to its original markets.
13.11 Miscellaneous
- Betway reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain Bets, or to scale back the stakes (on a per user or aggregate basis).
- All references to time periods in the Sportsbook House Rules relate to the time zone in which the event takes place. For example, a reference to the start time of a football game, relates to the local kick-off time.
- All information supplied by Betway is done so in good faith. However, Betway cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions in respect of any information, such as the posting of prices, runners, times, scores, results or general statistics.
- Any results or scores of which you may be advised by a Betway employee or agent (for example during betting in-play) are provided for guidance purposes only.
- Customers are responsible for ensuring that they satisfy themselves that the selection on which they place a Bet is their intended selection. For example, in the case of a competitor bearing the same name as another individual not competing in the relevant event, the onus is on the customer to ensure that they know which competitor is being referred to in the relevant market and to ensure that they are placing their Bet on their chosen competitor.
- Please be aware that if you place related or corresponding Bets on a combination of Betway's platforms (and/ or the betting products of other third parties), it is possible for Bets on one product to be voided (subject to applicable regulatory approval) in accordance with Betway's terms and conditions, while Bets on another product may stand. You should note that Betway will have no liability to you in the event that one or more of your Bets on Betway's products are amended or voided in accordance with Betway's terms and conditions, even if your other related Bets stand (and even if you have specifically relied on Bets you have placed on one product in order to place related Bets on another product).
- Betway may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by the Sportsbook House Rules). In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness, Betway may also void certain bets on an event or void a whole event in its entirety (subject to applicable regulatory approvals).
- Betway promotions are available at the discretion of Betway and Betway reserves the right to restrict the availability of a promotion to any person at its absolute discretion.

When this occurs all Bets may be voided apart from the first Bet struck (subject to any applicable regulatory approvals). A number of Bets that contain the same single selection may be treated as being one. When this occurs all Bets may be voided apart from the first Bet struck. An example would be where one (1) particular selection is repeatedly included in multiple Bets involving other short-priced selections.
- 13.12.3. Where there is evidence of a series of Bets each containing the same (or very similar) selection(s) having been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate or individuals, Betway reserves the right to make Bets void and suspend relevant accounts (subject to any applicable regulatory approvals). This rule applies to both settled and unsettled Bets.
- 13.12.4. If you have played in a professional capacity, or in tandem with other customer(s) as part of a club, group, etc., or placed Bets or wagers in a coordinated manner with other customer(s) involving the same (or materially the same) selections; in this instance we further reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to restrict the total maximum pay out for the combined total of any such Bets, to the equivalent of the maximum daily payout limit permitted for a single customer (as outlined above). Betway is for sole use on an individual basis and for personal entertainment only.
- 13.12.5. Betway allows only one (1) Account per person. Any subsequent Accounts opened under the same postcode/personal details/IP address that are found to be related to any existing Account may be closed immediately and any Bets will be voided at Betway's discretion (subject to any applicable regulatory approvals).

If you have a winning hand(s)/game and are disconnected prior to being able to ‘gamble’ on a video, poker or slot game, your winnings will be credited to your Account and you will not have the option to gamble when you reconnect.

The Services use location data. By using the Services, you allow your wireless carrier to share your location with others. There is no representation, warranty or guarantee of accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any location data, product, or service. The Services were not developed by a Cellular Provider. If you use the Services, it may require your Cellular Provider to disclose your customer information, including location information, to Betway or a third party. By providing your consent, you authorize your Cellular Provider to disclose your information to Betway and to third parties in order to enable this application. See our Privacy Policy for more information about how Betway will collect, access, use, and disclose your information. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) your relationship with Betway is separate from your relationship with your Cellular Provider; (2) Your Cellular Provider is not responsible for the Services; and (3) you will hold harmless your Cellular Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any judgments, claims, actions, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from or attributable to the Services or the acts or omissions of Betway.

You acknowledge and agree to accept a final text message confirming your opt-out. Each state for which you create an account is managed separately, so texting STOP for messages from one state will not effectuate a stop requests for messages related to an account for another state. If you would like to stop messages for multiple state accounts, reply STOP to each program to which you would like to unsubscribe. It is your sole responsibility to notify us if you no longer want to receive automated text messages. You waive any rights to bring claims for unauthorized or undesired text messages by failing to opt-out immediately or by failing to follow these instructions.

We are not responsible for unwanted contact from third parties. Please contact third parties directly to inform them of your communication preferences.

24.3.6. Unauthorized Use of Your Telephone Device. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your telephone device.

Failure by Betway to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations and a waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
32.5. Notices.

Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Services, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Services. The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to us in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

Betway may use a third party service provider to issue the background check and you authorize Betway to provide your information to such third party for purposes of obtaining such background check. To the extent you fail the background check, in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion, you will be denied access to the Services.

v. are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties, including, without limitation, if we suspect that your Account’s usage could represent ‘business usage’ (‘business usage’ includes any use by a betting operator or any use by an individual or organization supplying data or services to a betting operator);

vii. are prohibited from entering into a Bet by any term of your contract of employment or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body which applies to you; or

8.4.1. we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our site, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or ‘suspicious betting’ activity (explained in Section 9); and/or
8.4.2. we have to withhold the funds in your Account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.
8.5. If an internal or external investigation reasonably demonstrates that you have acted in breach of these Terms, any other agreement relevant to your activities on the Websites or Betting Apps, or that your Account has been linked with fraudulent and/or ‘suspicious betting’ (as defined below) activity, we reserve the right, subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, to seize some or all of the funds in your Account. The disposition of any funds obtained by us in this manner will be at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request, or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority. In addition, if formally requested by law enforcement, gaming regulators, or taxation or other authorities, or in the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient information to identify yourself in accordance with our internal procedures or those procedures imposed on us by the state gambling regulators and/or other authorities, we may suspend your Account and all functionality relating to the use of your Account (e.g., bet management and withdrawal of funds) and withhold from you any funds in your Account pending the final determination of any criminal or other legal proceedings or investigation to which such a request may relate or until you provide the necessary 'know your client' or 'age verification' information as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point during any such suspension or termination period will interest accrue to you on any funds in your Account.
9. Suspicious Betting

9.1.4. where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;

For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each Bet was placed manually by you via your Account.

9.3. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of suspicious betting, we shall use our reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.

Each Promotion may have additional terms and/or rules of participation (“Promotion Terms”), which will be posted or otherwise made available to you at or near the place of the Promotion announcement. In the event Promotion Terms are not posted, these Master Promotional Terms shall still apply to such Promotion. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between these Master Promotional Terms and any Promotion Terms, then the specific Promotion Terms shall govern and prevail. The Promotion Terms for each Promotion in which you participate will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of these Master Promotional Terms. It is your responsibility to read the Promotion Terms to determine whether or not your participation, registration, or entry in the Promotion will be valid or restricted, and to determine your participation requirements.
11.2. Eligibility. Each Promotion is open only to individuals who at the time and date of entry are: (i) not an Excluded Person; (ii) Account holders; (iii) otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Betway Services from which the Promotion is offered as set forth in these Terms; (iv) are twenty-one (21) years of age or older; and (v) meet any eligibility requirements specifically set forth in the Promotion Terms. Employees, officers and directors of Betway, its parent company, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in any Promotion or receive the advertised Bonus. Additionally, Betway reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in any Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Promotions in good faith. Void where prohibited by law. If Betway becomes aware of a participant who, in the course of participating in a Promotion, has become able to guarantee wins and/or profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a Promotion by participating through more than one (1) Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which Betway deems to be abusive, Betway may elect to do any one (1) or more of the following: (i) close the customer’s Account(s); (ii) subject to any applicable required regulatory approval, invalidate the transactions or game play which was in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold the customer’s Bonus, including winnings from such transactions or game play.
11.3. How to Qualify.

All Promotions are limited to one (1) entry per person. To ensure that the Promotion is limited to one (1) entry per person, we reserve the right to only permit one (1) customer to participate from each household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, same payment account (e.g., debit or credit card, etc.), shared device, and/or shared location (e.g., public library, restaurant, workplace, etc.). Any special requirements to take advantage of the Promotion, such as minimum wagering requirements, the percentage of a Eligible Wager that contributes to a wagering requirement, and whether an Eligible Wager needs to be conducted in the casino or sportsbook, will be set forth in the Promotion Terms.
11.4. Multiple Accounts. Multiple entries in any Promotion will not be accepted; neither will entries made in breach of these Master Promotional Terms or the specific Promotion Terms. Betway reserves the right to exclude any participant from Promotions if Betway believes that a participant has tried to enter a Promotion by using more than one (1) username, Account or is otherwise engaging in any fraudulent or illegal activity (including participation that would be in breach of the law in Pennsylvania), whether or not that participant would or might have won any Bonus but for such activity. Where multiple entries/Accounts have been used, Betway reserves the right to cancel these Accounts and withhold payment of the Bonus or any other Promotion benefits.
11.5. Terms Applicable to Non Cash Prizes. For any prizes offered in connection with a Promotion that are a physical prize, such prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions, except at Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Master Promotional Terms or in the advertising for the Promotion will be determined in Betway’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Betway is unable to provide the winner with his or her prize(s), Betway may elect to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All prize(s) are awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of a prize is based on available information provided to Betway and the value of any prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Betway Parties (defined below) are not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen prize(s) or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and the Betway Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. The Betway Parties are not responsible for and winner will not receive the difference, in any, between the actual value of the prizes at the time of award and the stated ARV in any Promotion-related correspondence or material.
