After You (as that term is hereinafter defined) create an account, otherwise click to acknowledge, agree and/or accept these Terms of Service, or when You use the Services, a legally binding agreement on these Terms of Service is entered into between, (a) You, the end user (“You” or “Your” as applicable) and (b) BetMGM, LLC, located at Harborside Plaza 2, 200 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07311 (“BetMGM”, “We”, “Us” or “Our” as appropriate).

These Agreements (as that term is hereinafter defined) govern the use of the Services in the state of Ohio.

In these Terms of Service, “Act” shall refer to the Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3775 and Ohio Sports Betting Law House Bill 29 as applicable.

The Services currently operate under and pursuant to the Mobile Management Services Provider license issued to BetMGM by the Ohio Casino Control Commission, pursuant to and in accordance with the Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3775 and Ohio Sports Betting Law House Bill 29, as amended (the “Act”). BetMGM is authorized to operate Online Sports Wagering in the state of Ohio, pursuant to the Act, under a Type A Sports Gaming Proprietor license issued to MGM Northfield Park. The Services are provided by BetMGM (where BetMGM is an indirect, partially-owned subsidiary joint venture of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”)) and are marketed under brands owned by MGM. These Agreements are at all times subject to the authority of the Ohio Casino Control Commission.

These Agreements apply to the following online gaming website: oh.BetMGM.com, and any other online or mobile platform provided by Us (each individual site being a “Platform” and together the “Platforms”) on which You access Our betting, gaming and wagering services (“Services”).

We have consolidated Your Account to make it easier for You to wager everywhere You use BetMGM (“Single Account”). Your consolidated BetMGM Account provides a seamless, more convenient wagering experience everywhere You use BetMGM. You have a single set of login credentials and account settings, and a single cash balance that You can use in all jurisdictions where BetMGM is currently available (with the exception of Puerto Rico, and Ontario), subject to the limitations stated herein. The funds You deposit into Your Account will also be available everywhere You log in, regardless of where You made the deposit. 

Exception: Depending on the state You are in, credit card or prepaid funds cannot be used for wagering if credit cards or prepaid cards are prohibited. If You deposit money into Your Account using a credit card in a state that allows credit card, and travel to a state that doesn’t allow it, those deposited credit funds will be marked as “restricted”. The credit card deposit method will also not be available for deposits in the Cashier menu when You are in a state that prohibits credit cards.

Please check Your e-mail for updates to Your login credentials. If You attempt to log in with a User ID or incorrect e-mail address, You will receive on-screen instructions on how to log in. Any bonuses in Your Account balance will remain in the state in which You received them and can only be used when You are physically located in that state. In addition, if You self-exclude in one state, You will be unable to access BetMGM’s services in every other state.

For additional information regarding Single Account, please refer to the Single Account Frequently Asked Questions. If the FAQs regarding Single Account do not satisfy Your questions, please contact Our 24/7 Customer Care team.

In the event of such error or any system failure or game error (a divergence from the normal functioning of the game logic for whatever reason) that results in an error in any odds calculation, charges, fees, rake, bonuses or payout ("Error"), We will attempt to place all parties directly affected by such Error in the position they were in before the Error occurred. We reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were the subject of such Error and to take any money from Your Account relating to the relevant bets or wagers. If there are insufficient funds in Your Account, We may demand that You pay Us the relevant outstanding amount relating to these bets or wagers.

28. BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AND APPLICABLE LAW

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

28.1. Initial Dispute Resolution Requirement

We believe most disputes between patrons and BetMGM can be resolved by good-faith dialogue between the parties. If You have any claims, complaints or disputes with or regarding BetMGM in connection with Your use of the Platform or the Services, You must submit Your complaint to Us in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable following the date of the original transaction to which the claim, complaint or dispute refers. Claims, complaints and disputes may be submitted by e-mail or via mail to: BetMGM Customer Care Team, Harborside Plaza 2, 200 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07311. Any notice We give to You (other than otherwise set out herein) will be sent to the e-mail address that You provide when You register Your Account. It is Your responsibility to give Us notice of any changes to this address by contacting Our Customer Care team and to regularly check Your e-mail account for e-mails from Us.

28.2. Complaints to the Regulator

You must first endeavor to resolve any dispute with BetMGM directly before contacting the state regulator. Upon receipt of a complaint, we will investigate and provide a written response. Once BetMGM begins its investigation, BetMGM will respond to You within ten (10) business days. If We cannot provide a response within ten (10) business days, We will notify You of the need for additional time and provide an expected timeframe in which the complaint may be resolved. If you are unable to resolve the dispute to Your satisfaction, You have a right to file a written complaint with the Ohio Casino Control Commission at:

Ohio Casino Control Commission

100 East Broad Street, 20^th Floor

Columbus, OH 43215

Phone: (855) 800-0058

E-mail: info@casinocontrol.ohio.gov

Any complaints, claims or disputes You may have must be directed to the regulator of the state in which You live, after first attempting to resolve it with BetMGM. Please do not contact any out-of-state regulator regarding any complaint, claim or dispute You may have with or regarding BetMGM.

In the event You remain unsatisfied after contacting the Commission about Your complaint, claim, or dispute, You may participate in BetMGM’s dispute resolution and individual arbitration processes, as outlined below.

28.3. Required Dispute Resolution Conference

28.3.1. Before initiating any claim in arbitration, or initiating a case as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, You and We (each a “party” and together the “parties”) must engage in a good-faith effort to resolve any claim through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, unless mutually agreed to by the parties. If either party is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate in the informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, but the party also must appear at and participate in the conference. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conference shall occur within sixty (60) days of the other party receiving such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this section and such tolling shall end at the end of the telephonic conference. Engaging in an individualized informal telephonic dispute resolution conference is a condition precedent that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration, and if either party fails to engage in this process, the arbitrator shall dismiss that party’s arbitration demand.

28.3.2. To initiate an informal telephonic resolution conference, the party initiating a claim must give notice to the other party in writing of their intent to do so. The notice must contain the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address of the initiating party, a factual description of the nature and basis of the dispute, the amount that the party is seeking for resolution of the dispute, and the personal signature of the party (a copy of which may be submitted via e-mail).

28.3.3. Any notice You give to BetMGM pursuant to Section 28.3.2 must be sent via e-mail to: LegalDepartment@betmgm.com, or via mail to: BetMGM Legal Department, Harborside Plaza 2, 200 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07311. Any notice BetMGM gives to You will be sent to the most recent e-mail address that You have provided Us in connection with Your Account. It is Your responsibility to keep the e-mail address connected to Your Account current and to regularly check Your e-mail account for e-mails from Us.

28.4. Applicable Law/Delegation

28.4.1. The enforceability, application, and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, Ohio law governing arbitration agreements shall apply.

28.4.2. Except as provided with respect to the Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver below, all disputes regarding whether this arbitration agreement is unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable, and all disputes regarding the scope of this arbitration agreement, shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court.

28.4.3. Notwithstanding the FAA’s applicability to the enforceability, application, and interpretation of this arbitration agreement, all controversies or claims arising out of or related to Our Services or these Terms shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio and the United States of America without regard to any choice of law or conflict of laws principles, regardless of where You live.

28.5. Binding Arbitration

28.5.1. PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, ANY CLAIMS WHICH ARE NOT RESOLVED BY THE PROCEDURES DISCUSSED IN SECTIONS 28.1, 28.2 AND/OR 28.3, AND ALL OTHER ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON, OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE(S) (INCLUDING THE GAMING SERVICES), THE PLATFORMS, WAGERING TRANSACTIONS, THE SITE, THE APP, OR THE ALLEGED BREACH OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“DISPUTES”), SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES (“JAMS”) FOR FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER ITS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES.

28.5.2. Intended beneficiaries of this Section 28.5 who will be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section include (a) You and any person or entity purporting to bring claims on Your behalf, as well as (b) BetMGM, MGM, and Entain plc; the agents, principals, representatives, directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, and members of BetMGM, MGM, and Entain plc; and each of BetMGM’s, MGM, and Entain plc’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, licensees, attorneys, successors, joint venturers, contractors, assigns, designees, services, and service providers.

28.5.3. The Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures governing the arbitration may be accessed at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. The arbitrator’s fees and costs shall be paid by BetMGM to the extent required by controlling law and the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if applicable. However, if either party commences arbitration in accordance with these Terms, they will be required to pay JAMS’ then-prevailing filing fee. To the extent the filing fee for an arbitration that You commence exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, BetMGM shall pay the excess cost. The arbitrator will resolve any disputes regarding costs/fees associated with arbitration. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

28.5.4. So long as You have first attempted to resolve the dispute with BetMGM and/or filed a written complaint to the Ohio Casino Control Commission, and the Parties have completed an informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to Section 28.3 within 60 days after the Notice of Pre-Arbitration Dispute is received, either party may initiate arbitration. The party bringing the claim must demand arbitration in writing or via e-mail. Any demand for arbitration made to BetMGM must be sent via e-mail to LegalDepartment@betmgm.com, or via mail to: BetMGM Legal Department, Harborside Plaza 2, 200 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07311. Any demand for arbitration made by BetMGM shall be sent to the most recent e-mail address that You have provided to Us in connection with Your Account. The demand for arbitration shall identify the claim(s) asserted, factual basis for the claim(s), and relief and/or remedy sought. The demand for arbitration shall include the original (i.e., non-electronic) signature of the party seeking arbitration. The arbitrator will resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the notice of claims. By signing any demand for arbitration, the signing party certifies to the best of its knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law for either party’s violation of this requirement.

28.5.5. Any arbitration pursuant to this Section 28.5 shall be held before a single arbitrator who shall be a retired judge. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by each party ranking and striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any such arbitration shall be held in the state of Ohio or at another mutually agreeable reasonable location within the United States that is convenient for You.

28.5.6. The parties agree that all of the arbitration proceedings, including any discovery, hearings, and rulings, shall be confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. In making any decision or award, the arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s decision or award is based. Either party may serve an offer of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. If a party timely serves such an offer that the receiving party does not accept, and the judgment that the receiving party finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, then the receiving party shall pay the costs of the party that served the offer of judgment, including filing fees, incurred after the offer was made, to the extent permitted by law. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter temporary restraining orders and preliminary and permanent injunctions as permitted by these Terms.

28.5.7. Batch Arbitrations. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 25 or more similar arbitration demands against BetMGM, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period, JAMS shall (a) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 25 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 25 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and (b) provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with BetMGM and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.

28.5.8. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED OR PERMITTED TO COMMENCE OR MAINTAIN ANY ACTION IN A COURT OF LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER IN DISPUTE UNTIL SUCH MATTER SHALL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION AS HEREIN PROVIDED, AND THEN ONLY FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD, WHICH SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY AND AGREE TO PROCEED WITH BINDING ARBITRATION.

28.5.9. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have a right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 28.5 by sending written notice by U.S. mail of Your decision to opt out to the following address: BetMGM Legal Department, Harborside Plaza 2, 200 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07311. The notice must be sent (as demonstrated by the postmark or receipt for postage or shipping costs for the notice) within 30 days of the date You register for Your Account, otherwise You will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this Section 28.5. Any opt-out notice must be signed by You personally, and not by Your agent(s) or representative(s). Your notice may opt out only Yourself, and neither You, Your agent(s), or Your representative(s) may effectuate an opt-out on behalf of anyone other than You. If You opt out of these arbitration provisions, BetMGM also will not be bound by them.

28.6. Small Claims Matters and Other Matters Excluded from Arbitration Requirement

28.6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of Us may bring any qualifying claim in small claims court located in the state of Ohio.

28.6.2. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).

28.6.3. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in state or federal court in the state of Ohio regarding whether (a) a party’s claims are time-barred, or (b) a party’s claims may be brought in small claims court. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.

28.7. Class and Collective Action Waivers

28.7.1. You and BetMGM agree that any and all Disputes arising between You and BetMGM shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis, and not on a class, collective, and/or representative basis. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action, collective action, and/or representative action, and the arbitrator will have no authority to hear or preside over any such action (“Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waivers”). For avoidance of doubt, regardless of the forum in which You or BetMGM brings or seeks to bring claims, You and BetMGM agree to bring claims only in their individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member of any purported class or collective proceeding, and not on behalf of any other person.

28.7.2. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in these Terms, any claim that all or part of this Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in these Terms, this Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver does not prevent You or BetMGM from participating in a class-wide, collective, and/or representative settlement of claims.

28.7.3. The Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver shall be severable from this Agreement in any case in which there is a final judicial determination that the Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, void, or voidable. In such instances, the class or collective action must be litigated in a civil state or federal court of competent jurisdiction - not in arbitration.

28.8. Limitation of Damages

Except where prohibited by law, You agree that (a) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with the use of the Services; and (b) under no circumstances will either party be permitted to obtain awards for, and each party hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.

28.9. Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief

To the fullest extent permitted by law, You agree that, if You claim that You have incurred any loss, damages, or injuries in connection with Your participation in the Services, then the losses, damages, and injuries will not be irreparable or sufficient to entitle You to an injunction or to other equitable relief. This means that, in connection with Your claim, You agree that You will not seek, and that You will not be permitted to obtain, any court order or other action that may interfere with or prevent the development or exploitation of any websites, applications, content, user generated content, product, Service, or intellectual property owned, licensed, used or controlled by Us (including Your licensed user content) or any licensor of BetMGM.

28.10. Changes to this Section 28

We will provide You 30 days’ notice of any changes to this Section 28. Changes will become effective on the 30^th day. If You continue to use the site or any of the Services after the 30^th day, You agree that any unfiled claims are subject to the revised clause.

29. SEVERABILITY

Except as stated in the Class and Collective Action Waivers section above (Section 28.7), 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 of Service, and that determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to the terms contained herein. In the case of the severance of any terms, the portion 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.

30. WAIVER

Failure by Us 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 breach or default of the Agreements shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

31. ASSIGNMENT

We reserve the right to transfer, assign, sublicense or pledge these Agreements, in whole or in part, to any person (without Your consent) 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 Agreements.

32. THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

32.1. Except insofar as these Agreements expressly provide that a third party may in their own right enforce a term of these Agreements, a person who is not a party to these Agreements has no right under local law or statute to rely upon or enforce any term of these Agreements, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available other than under local law or statute.

32.2. For the avoidance of doubt, each member of the Affiliate Group is an intended third-party beneficiary of these Agreements.

33. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENTS

You fully understand and agree to be bound by these Agreements and as modified or amended by Us from time to time. We may amend these Agreements at any time either by e-mailing or sending You notification of the new terms or by publishing the modified Agreement(s) on the relevant page of the Platforms or any place through which You access the Services. If any modification is unacceptable to You, Your only alternative is to terminate these Agreements. You will be required to acknowledge acceptance of the changes. It is Your sole responsibility to review the Agreements and any revisions thereto each time You use the Services.

34.3. Anti-Cheating Policy

We are committed to preventing the use of unfair practices in the Services, including, but not limited to, player collusion. We are also committed to detecting and preventing the use of software programs which are designed to enable automated computer algorithms or artificial intelligence to play or unfairly assist or enhance play on Our Platforms including, but not limited to, opponent-profiling, cheating software, automated computerized software or other equivalent mechanism, or anything else that We deem enables You to have an unfair advantage over other players not using such programs or systems (“AI Software”). You acknowledge that We will take measures to detect and prevent the use of such programs and AI Software using methods (including, but not limited to, reading the list of currently running programs on a player’s computer or mobile device) and You agree not to use any AI Software or any such programs. See Our Unfair Advantage Policy for more information.

34.4. Statistics and Live Scoring

From time to time Our website and mobile app may display game times, scores, statistics, results, and other information relating to games, matches, or events, including, without limitation, “live” scores, statistics and times displayed as part of a live-streamed event or scoreboard. All such information is unofficial, is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only, and should not be relied upon by patrons for any purpose. It is the patron’s responsibility to independently verify all such information. Neither BetMGM nor its third-party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to any such information transmitted or made available via Our website and mobile app. Neither BetMGM nor its third-party providers shall be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any such information transmitted or made available via Our website and mobile app, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

35. DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

Patrons are prohibited from disclosing non-public information that may affect internet wagering or the outcome of internet wagering. In the event BetMGM discovers that a patron has disclosed non-public information that may affect internet wagering or the outcome of internet wagering, the patron will be immediately banned from placing wagers via the BetMGM Services.

PLEASE PRINT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND STORE THEM FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE. IN ADDITION, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU PRINT AND STORE ALL TRANSACTION RECEIPTS AND GAME RULES AS APPLICABLE TO YOUR ACTIVITIES.

If You have any questions, please contact Our 24/7 Customer Care team.

Underage Policy

Underage gambling is a criminal offense, and any person who facilitates someone under the age of 21 to gamble has committed a criminal offense and shall be prohibited from internet gaming.

BetMGM excludes minors (persons under the age of 21) from gaming, and We will always ask for proof of age during the registration process. We also begin an automatic identification process immediately after registration, which can require a copy of a picture ID document upon deposit or withdrawal. We take Our responsibility for preventing minors from playing with Us seriously, and in order to offer the best possible protection of minors, We require the shared responsibility of parents. Use child protection software, such as the "‘NetNanny‘" program or the "‘Cybersitter’" software from 27Labs, to block gaming sites from persons under 21.

If You know someone under the age of 21 who is registered with Us, please contact Us immediately.

Unfair Advantage Policy

We are committed to taking all reasonable measures to prevent anything that gives a player an unfair advantage over another. To this end, We forbid all unfair practices with the goal of protecting Our patrons and the integrity of Our systems. Failure to abide by the Unfair Advantage Policy and/or other suspicious activity may result in permanent account closure, confiscation of funds, and in certain circumstances, additional actions.

Unfair Practices: 

Unfair practices are any practice, including, but not limited to, the use of Bots (autonomous or command-executed programs on a computer or network that can interact with computer systems or users), AI, multiple account use or practices conducted in collaboration with other players, carried out by one or more players, with one or more accounts, which could put any other player not engaging in such activity at a competitive disadvantage, where the unfairness in such activity is due to its success being based to some extent on concealment or deception against such players. Unfair practices include, but are not limited to, the following: 

1. Multiple Accounts a.k.a. Multi-Accounting:

It is prohibited for a player (whether in the player’s name or another name) to have multiple accounts for the sole purpose of playing both accounts at the same time. A player may only have a single gaming account for each BetMGM skin (i.e. BetMGM, PartyPoker, PartyCasino, Borgata, etc.). In states where multiple BetMGM skins are present, players are prohibited from playing on multiple skins simultaneously. Any player associated with multi-accounting is subject to discipline in a number of forms, from a warning (in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service), up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds, and additional actions. 

2. Account Sharing/Third-Party Account Usage:

Each player on the BetMGM platform is responsible for protecting their login credentials. Sharing account credentials and devices is prohibited under the Terms of Service of BetMGM. No third party (including friends and relatives) is permitted to use Your Account access the BetMGM platform under Your name, or log into their Account on Your device. Any player who believes the integrity of their BetMGM gaming account has been compromised should inform BetMGM immediately. BetMGM holds no responsibility for any actions taken by a third party who gains access to any player’s gaming account. Under no circumstances will BetMGM be liable for any losses incurred by any player as a result of mishandling of a player’s access credentials by any person. All transactions and gameplay where Your username and password have been entered correctly will be regarded as valid, whether authorized by You or not. Please note that anyone found to be sharing accounts could be subject to a number of measures, from a warning in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service, up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds, and additional actions. 

3. The Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

AI is composed of autonomous or command-executed programs on a computer or network that can interact with computer systems or users, especially one designed to respond or behave like a player. BetMGM prohibits the use of AI on its platform and across its skins. All player actions taken on the BetMGM platform must be player-generated without assistance. BetMGM reserves the right to withhold funds of, and deny services to, any person using a prohibited tool or service. If a player is found to have used AI, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds, and additional actions. 

4. The Use of “Bots”:

A Bot is software that can interact with the BetMGM platform without any human input. The software calculates the best available decision and then executes it. Certain companies offer Bots specifically created to play a game in the place of an actual (human) player, and conceal its use from the other players, and avoid detection by the online gaming site. These programs are marketed by explicitly promising the prospective purchaser/user an unfair advantage over other online players not using that program. The use of Bots is prohibited. If a player is found to have used a Bot in any way, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds, and additional actions. 

Frequently Asked Questions: 

How does BetMGM distinguish between Prohibited and Permitted categories of programs? Is it true that many of these programs are for training and improving gaming skills? 

Programs that give a player an advantage over others are not the issue; an unfair advantage is. Our basis for distinction is not whether a particular program gives the user an advantage over non-using players, nor is it based on the particular content. The key indicators that define the class of programs We seek to eliminate from use on the website are: (1) deception and (2) breach of Our customers’ privacy. 

What We are referring to is programs which: (a) advertise as a key feature that the buyer/user will gain an unfair advantage (often they even use the word “cheat”) over the other players, in other words they promise to help a player to cheat; or (b) their use by the buyer/user is intended to remain concealed from the other players and from the “operator” (i.e., the online gaming room); or (c) steal legally protected material (e.g., player identities) that violates International Copyright Laws, as well as Privacy Laws (“Prohibited Categories”). 

Which counter-measures is BetMGM taking to prevent the use of Bots? 

Our efforts can be divided into three separate categories: (a) identification & detection; (b) warning/suspending offending users; and (c) additional measures through enlarged customer choice. Identification and detection counter-measures are in place now and have been for some time. These efforts will continue to improve - so that We’re able to more precisely detect existing Bots and, more importantly, so that as new Bots are created/released, We can also prevent those from diminishing the user experience when on the website. 

Do the efforts involve “data mining” or other means to access/read files on my computer? 

Yes, and We want You to know what particular data We’re looking for and why We need to do this. The best way to explain this is by comparison to the most well-known form of data mining, where companies gather data about the user for (among other reasons) purely commercial purposes (i.e. to sell a user profile to online advertisers). Our automated software reports on any processes or programs in use on Your computer that have been identified as subject to this policy. We do not scan Your hard drive or take screenshots from Your machine. We do a limited query of players’ computers while they’re playing at Our tables, solely for the purpose of detecting use of prohibited software. This  monitoring  is one of the key counter-measures We take against Bots, which is against the interests of Our players. To find out more about Our general policy regarding data processing, please see Our Privacy Policy. 

Chat Abuse 

BetMGM provides players with a chat facility through which players can communicate with other users of the BetMGM platform. We collect and may use this information for legitimate business purposes, including to enforce these Terms of Service. BetMGM reserves the right to review chat history and to record all statements made on such facility. A player’s use of the chat facility is subject to the following rules. Players shall not: 

• Make any statements that are sexually explicit or offensive, including expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity.
• Make statements that are abusive, defamatory, or harassing or insulting to other users of Our Services.
• Make statements that advertise, promote, or otherwise relate to any other online entities.
• Make statements about BetMGM or the Sites or any other internet site connected to BetMGM that are untrue and/or malicious and/or damaging to BetMGM.

BetMGM only permits the use of English within the chat facility. 

Players are prohibited from chatting about games in progress. Any chat that may influence how any player in the game might act is prohibited. 

PLEASE NOTE: Any personally identifiable information You share via the chat may be visible to other BetMGM players or third parties. BetMGM is not responsible for the consequences of any voluntarily shared personally identifiable information that any player submits via the chat facility being read by others. 

Violation of Our chat abuse policy is subject to a number of measures, from a warning in which the user’s chat may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service, up to and including permanent chat closure and additional actions. 

Consequences of Unfair Practices: 

Where We in Our absolute discretion determine an unfair practice has taken place (whether an unfair advantage has been gained or not), the person(s) responsible for that practice will be subject to one or all of the following consequences: 

• We may e-mail the offender(s) and demand the immediate halt of all unfair practices.
• We may suspend the offending account(s) for the purposes of conducting a thorough investigation into the unfair practices.
• Ultimately, We may, in Our sole discretion,  terminate the offending account(s) indefinitely and  all funds in the account(s)  may be forfeited (see Sections 5, 20, and 22 of Our General Terms of Service). 
• We may report the Unfair Practices to Our regulators.

Player Account

The BetMGM platforms meet the highest security standards in the industry, with a five-level security system, multiple firewalls, and Transport Layer Security ("TLS") encryption. Early-warning systems in the form of limits on unusually high stakes and winnings prevent manipulation and other criminal activities at an early stage.

However, You can help Us to further increase the safety of Your account:

• You are responsible for the safety of Your personal computer and mobile device. Configure Your auto-lock features to protect them from unauthorized use.
• Keep Your access details safe at all times (user ID, password, and Your question-and-answer combination).
• Don’t share Your Account credentials, Your credit card information or Your bank account details.
• Don’t leave Your computer or mobile device unattended when You are logged in.
• Don’t use the ‘Save password’ option on log-in screens.
• Sharing devices is prohibited under the Terms of Service and You are prohibited from allowing any other person to access or use Your Account.

You should change Your password regularly. By default, You receive an e-mail notification every time You log in to Your Account, unless You turn the notifications off. If You cannot remember having accessed Your Account at the specified date and time, change your password immediately. If You have forgotten Your password, You can retrieve it here.

Strong Authentication. For an additional level of safety, a “Strong Authentication” setting is available to increase the level of protection on Your Account. If enabled, each time You log in to Your Account, after entering Your e-mail address and password, a one-time code is sent via SMS to Your registered mobile number. You can also request to send it to Your registered e-mail address. This one-time code will then be required to successfully log in to Your Account. You can set these options in Your Account settings. Please ensure that Your mobile phone number is up to date in Your BetMGM account settings.

Two-Factor Authentication. Every new device You use to log in to Your BetMGM account will also require two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS or e-mail.

• SMS. If You are logging in with a new unrecognized device, a 2FA pop-up notification will appear that will allow You to send a one-time code via SMS to Your registered mobile number.
• E-mail. If You prefer to perform 2FA via e-mail, You may also have the option to click on the "‘Send Code to E-mail’" button, depending on which state You are logging in from.
• Trusted Devices. After You enter the one-time code, Your current device will be considered "‘trusted’" moving forward, which will allow You to log in with Your e-mail and password without having to enter a one-time code.
• New Jersey 2FA Rules. Due to Single Account functionality, if You have a New Jersey BetMGM account in addition to BetMGM account(s) in other states, the New Jersey 2FA restrictions will be carried over to Your additional states when You log in. 2FA must be performed via SMS and e-mail will not be an available option for receiving Your one-time code. 2FA must be performed every 14 days to log in to Your Account, even on a device that has already been trusted and recognized.

You can contact Our Customer Care team at any time to obtain Your Account history and game history or a copy of Our Terms of Service. You may also access Your Account and game history by logging into Your Account and accessing “My Account” and following the prompts for “My Transactions” and/or “Cashier”.

If You want to take a break or stop playing on Our sites (for any reasons other than the prevention of gambling-related problems), We offer a service closure. For further information, please contact Our Customer Care team.

Any act of Bonus Abuse constitutes a violation of these Terms and Conditions. In the event We suspect that Bonus Abuse has taken place, We reserve the right to prevent You from withdrawing Account funds; and/or withhold any of Your winnings derived from Your use of the bonus.

10. Prizes

10.1. With respect to cash prizes, Qualifying Players who win a prize as the result of any Promotion consisting of a draw, competition, contest, league or tournament (respectively, a “Winner” and a “Prize”) must accept the relevant Prize “as is”, and, with respect to non-cash Prizes, there is no right to a cash alternative unless We, in Our sole discretion, decide to offer such a cash alternative (which may be less than the full value of the Prize). We reserve the right, at any time, to substitute any Prize with one or more prizes (other than a cash alternative) of substantially equivalent value, as determined by Us.

10.2. Prizes will be drawn at random and, provided all players must be Qualifying Players, no favoritism will be shown in terms of gender, age, geographic location, length of time as a Qualifying Player, which of Our gaming Platforms a Qualifying Player has used, or any other factor.

10.3. All Prizes will be drawn by the time or within the timeframe specified in the applicable Specific Promotional Terms and, unless otherwise indicated there, a cash Prize will be paid into the Account of the Winner. If We arrange for a non-cash Prize to be delivered to You, the delivery may need to be signed for, but in all cases We reserve the right to require that a particular Prize is made available for collection only, including without limitation if the Prize is impractical or excessively costly to deliver. In the case of a non-cash Prize, We will make all reasonable attempts to contact the Winner using their Account contact details, but if We have not been able to make contact with the Winner within 30 days of the Prize being won, We reserve the right to draw another Winner in place of the original Winner or to forfeit the Prize altogether, without liability to the Winner.

10.4 Any transactions (e.g., chargeback fees, non-sufficient funds, etc.) that cause Your Account credit balance (unrestricted funds in Your player account) to be negative, must be paid to Us before any individual cash Prize is issued to You. We reserve the right to withhold any cash Prize that You win to cover Your negative account credit balance. We also reserve the right to withhold any non-cash Prize that You win until Your Account credit balance is zero or greater. Your Account credit balance must be zero or greater within 30 calendar days of You being notified of Your non-cash Prize win, or such Prize may be forfeited. We reserve the right not to award a Prize or to request the return of any Prize awarded in the event that the Winner is not entitled to receive such Prize in accordance with applicable law (provided always that the Winner is solely responsible for ensuring that they are entitled to receive any Prize) or if We have cause to disqualify the Winner in accordance with Section 6.

10.5. If You are competing in a contest, league or tournament and are unable, for any reason whatsoever, or choose not to progress to the next round after qualifying to do so, You will forfeit Your place and will not be eligible to receive any Prize to be awarded for the next or any subsequent round or the final Prize.

10.6. Any entitlement to receive a Prize is non-transferable.

10.7. The Winner is solely responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes in relation to the relevant Prize and for any costs associated with the Prize or its use, including without limitation the cost of complying with any requirements of applicable local law. Examples of such associated costs include, but are not limited to, if the Prize consists of a motor vehicle, in relation to vehicle registration, motor insurance and driving license or, if the Prize consists of foreign travel, in relation to passport, visa and travel insurance requirements or, in relation to Prizes that are location-specific (for example, an event, activity or vacation), the cost of travel to and from the relevant location (unless the Prize explicitly includes travel or consists of a flight, train journey or sea voyage, in which case the Winner is responsible for travel to and from the point of embarkation).

10.8. If a Prize consists of an event, activity, vacation or the performance of a service, the Winner is solely responsible for complying with any booking or other conditions or instructions of the relevant third-party provider or organizer, and must be able to comply with any restrictions as to dates and times in relation to the Prize (which may not be re-scheduled) and any other eligibility restrictions imposed by the relevant third-party provider or organizer. The contract in relation to any such event, activity, vacation or service will be directly between the Winner and the relevant third-party provider or organizer and We will not be a party to that contract or have any liability in relation to its performance or non-performance, which shall be the sole responsibility of the relevant third-party provider or organizer. We will not provide any form of insurance, including without limitation any public liability or cancellation insurance, in respect of any Prize consisting of an event, activity, vacation or service.

10.9. If, in relation to any Prize, We make use of any third-party name or trademark, these are proprietary to the relevant third party. No license, affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement is claimed or should be assumed from the use of these names or trademarks or the use of any photograph of a Prize. Any photograph used to promote a Prize is for illustrative purposes only and the actual Prize may differ from the item shown in the photograph, including without limitation the make, model, specification, color, finish, packaging and other features.

10.10. Our offering of a particular Prize implies no affiliation on Our part with, or sponsorship, or endorsement of, the relevant third-party manufacturer, supplier, provider or organizer.

10.11. The Winner is solely responsible for all use made of the Prize. Except as expressly provided in these Standard Promotional Terms, no representations, warranties, conditions or other terms are made, given or accepted by Us and no other terms shall apply, as between Us and any person, in relation to any Prize, including without limitation any terms regarding suitability, reliability, satisfactory quality or fitness for purpose, or any other implied terms, all of which We exclude to the maximum extent permitted by law.

General Disconnection Policy

Unless otherwise stated by Us, the following terms and conditions set forth the rules and procedures that govern all players’ rights in the event of disconnection and game cancellation.

1. Disconnection protection is a tool that protects players if their internet connection is lost while they are involved in gameplay. BetMGM strives to offer the best disconnection protection to Our players. Our goal is to protect players, while also maintaining appropriate checks so that the protection offered is not abused.

2. Disconnection protection is not intended to be used other than in the event of a genuine disconnection. Any misuse of this policy may result in the forfeiture of any monies won, tournament disqualification, the loss of the disconnection protection privilege, or expulsion from the website.

3. BetMGM’s software is designed to assess if a player has a genuine disconnection before giving the disconnection protection to them. Players trying to take advantage of disconnection protection by deliberately getting ‘timed out’ will be deemed to have ended their gameplay.

4. Players must accept the risk of disconnection and should log back in and continue playing as quickly as possible if they are cut off. Ask Your internet service provider about how they can help reduce the risk of disconnection. BetMGM is not responsible for player disconnection.

5. BetMGM reserves the right to alter this policy and render final decisions on all matters herein at Our sole discretion. Policy changes and relevant decisions will be communicated accordingly by Us using electronic means.

6. BetMGM’s Services, or certain betting markets, may not be available at any particular time (including due to connectivity issues).

7. Updates to the displayed information may put a player at a disadvantage compared to others who may have more up-to-date information.

8. BetMGM may incorporate delays in the registered time for in-play wagers to prevent past-post wagers and cancellations.

Player Protection (Responsible Gaming)

INTRODUCTION

At BetMGM, We believe that online gambling “when done in the spirit of fun” can offer an unsurpassed level of excitement. However, when in those instances a person exhibits problem-gambling behavior, We believe it is Our responsibility to offer information and assistance.

This page was created to inform customers of the risks associated with problem gambling and to serve as a means of prevention to those who are at risk for developing a gambling problem. Please take a moment to read through this information, as it will provide You with the means to maximize Your enjoyment while gambling responsibly.

What Is Problem Gambling?

Like many other addictions, gambling addiction is rooted in an uncontrollable urge and obsession, which if left unchecked, can lead to financial hardship. Pathological gambling has been listed as a recognized psychological disorder in the international classification systems DSM-V and ICD-10 since 1980. It is defined as persistent, recurring and often increasing gambling despite negative personal and social consequences such as debt, breakdown of social relations and impairment of professional development.

Unfortunately, one of the most common symptoms of this disease is deception; people with gambling problems will go to great lengths to hide their gambling related problems, not just from others, but also from themselves. As a result, detection can come late after adverse consequences are revealed and with dire consequences. A negative vicious cycle often develops, wherein the gambler seeks relief or even a solution through increased gambling. The ensuing financial and emotional deterioration affects every aspect of the affected person’s life, from family and friends to colleagues and associates.

Gambling addiction is a disease that does not discriminate. Anyone is susceptible regardless of gender, age, race, or financial status. Fortunately, once detected, it is an addiction that can be successfully treated.

The Warning Signs:

• Sacrificing time from work or family in order to gamble.
• Repeated inability to stop or control betting.
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off previous bets.
• Use of gambling as an emotional escape.
• Self-neglect or neglect of family due to gambling.
• Lying about time or money lost to betting.
• Gambling more in order to recoup previous losses (“chasing losses”).
• Obtaining money for gambling by selling/pawning personal property.
• Feelings of hopelessness, depression or suicide.

We strongly encourage all of Our players to know their limits and stay within them. Review the rest of this information to find out more about how We’re creating a fair and responsible gambling environment for everyone to enjoy.

• Gamble for fun and not as a way to earn money.
• Only play when You are relaxed and concentrated.
• Take regular breaks.
• Keep track of Your gambling. Consult the overview of Your gambling transactions in Your Account.
• Decide Your monthly gambling budget in advance.
• Only gamble what You can afford to lose.
• Independently of Our standard deposit limits, You may set a lower amount as Your own personal limit.
• Once You’ve set Your limit, stay within it. Increasing it later may lead to excessive play.
• Before You start playing, decide the winning amount at which You will end the game.
• Decide beforehand how high Your losses can be, and be comfortable ending the game once You’ve reached Your limit.
• Never play under the influence of alcohol or medication.
• Never play if You are feeling depressed.

There are myths associated with gambling, such as:

• My luck will change if I keep gambling and I’m sure I’ll win my money back.
• I am due for a win.
• If I play multiple games at a time, I’ll increase my chances of winning.
• I have a special strategy that helps me win.
• I have a gut feeling that today is my lucky day.

While having rituals and believing the next spin is “the one” can be fun and add to Your enjoyment, it’s important to understand just how random the games and events are. Remember, the house has the advantage, and You’re likely to lose more than You win over time, so stay within Your limits and keep it fun.

There are many risks associated with problem gambling, including:

• A negative impact on relationships and family life.
• Financial difficulties, including maxing out credit cards and increasing debts.
• A range of emotional, physical, and psychological health problems.
• An adverse effect on an individual’s ability to perform well at work.

We would like to stress that diagnoses relating to clinical disorders, such as problem gambling, can only be made by trained specialists. This page offers material which will allow You to quickly assess and consider Your own behavior. If You can identify with four or more of the following characteristics, We recommend that You speak to a professional:

• Are You highly involved in gambling?
• Do Your thoughts constantly turn to gambling?
• Are You constantly increasing Your stakes? Even beyond Your financial means?
• Have You unsuccessfully attempted to quit or cut down Your gambling?
• Do You become irritated and frustrated after attempting to reduce the extent of Your gambling?
• Does gambling serve as a means of getting away from problems or unpleasant feelings?
• Have You ever tried to win back losses by taking risks You usually would not take?
• Have You ever lied about the extent or success of Your gambling?
• Has Your gambling ever led to a negative impact on Your relationships or Your job?
• Have You ever been forced to rely on others to finance Your gambling?

BetMGM offers a variety of responsible gambling tools to help players stay in control of their gambling. To learn more about these tools, visit the Responsible Gaming section under Your Player Icon.

SETTING PLAYER GAMING LIMITS

We offer a range of different options that can be used to manage Your gambling activity at any time. This includes tools which allow You to limit the amount You can deposit, wager or lose; time limits to help You control how much time You spend gambling; or the option to place a “timeout” on Your Account from gaming for a period of time.

Once established, any decrease to these limits will be effective immediately and You will receive an instant pop-up notification. Any increase to these limits will become effective only after the time period of the previous limit has expired.

Deposit and Wager Limits

Deposit and wager limits can be set on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and specify the maximum amount of money You can deposit into Your internet gaming account during a particular period of time. All requests for limit decreases will be implemented immediately; requests for limit increases only become valid after a delay (1 day for daily limit, 7 days for weekly limits and 30 days for monthly limits) and an additional confirmation of the request. Upon account creation, Patrons will be prompted with the option to set deposit, wager, and time-based limitations. Subsequent to account creation, Patrons can set limits by going to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Responsible Gaming Limits  --> Deposit Limit to set a deposit/wager limit.

Time Limits

Time-based limits are offered on a daily basis and specify the maximum amount of time You may spend playing on the website (time is measured hourly from the time You log in to the time You log out). After exceeding this time period, You will be prevented from further play. All requests for time limit decreases (i.e. going from playing 10 hours a day to 1 hour a day) will be implemented immediately; requests for time limit increases (i.e. going from playing 1 hour a day to unlimited play) only become valid after 30 days. Upon account creation, Patrons will be prompted with the option to set deposit, wager, and time-based limitations. Subsequent to account creation, Patrons can set limits by going to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Responsible Gaming Limits -->  Session Time Limit to set a time limit.

Timeout/Cooling Off Period

Should You need a timeout (“cooling off”) period from gambling, You can choose Our timeout action. Please be aware that the timeout must be for a minimum of 3 days (up to a maximum of 1 year) and that during that time period You will not be able to login to place a wager or deposit. Please contact the Customer Care team should You want Your funds returned during that period. The account will not be reactivated under any circumstances during that period (unlike a standard account closure request). The account will be automatically reenabled after the selected timeout period has passed. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Time Out/Self-Exclusion (depending on Your state).

Closing Your Account

If You want to permanently close Your account for responsible gambling reasons, please contact Our Customer Care team in order to do so.

Cash Out Terms and Conditions

We may offer the ‘Cash Out’ option for placed bets: You will have the option to accept settlement of bets You have placed before the result of the bet is determined. The ‘Cash Out’ amount is calculated based on the current odds and is subject to change depending on when You chose to accept a ‘Cash Out.’ If ‘Cash Out’ is available for a placed bet, the corresponding symbol will be displayed in the ‘My Bets’ section (live betting) or the ‘Cash Out’ section (sports betting – pre-match) of the betslip.

1. The ‘Cash Out’ functionality is available for single and multi-bets only. Round Robin bets are not part of the ‘Cash Out’ functionality.

2. Any ‘Cash Out’ selection will not count towards wagering restrictions if bonuses are used to place the bet.

3. If any bet is frozen or closed immediately after the patron’s request, but before the conclusion of the ‘Cash Out’, the ‘Cash Out’ will be blocked.

4. If the ‘Cash Out’ value has changed immediately after the patron’s request, but before the conclusion of the ‘Cash Out’, the ‘Cash Out’ will be blocked unless the patron opted for ‘accept all payout values’ in their settings.

5. We reserve the right to withdraw or suspend ‘Cash Out’ offers without further notice.

6. We do not guarantee the availability of ‘Cash Out’ offers for any event or betting type at any time, even if it has been offered for the same event or betting type before.

7. We are not liable  if ‘Cash Out’ is not available for technical or any other reasons. You should not place bets based on the assumption that ‘Cash Out’ will be available at any point in time for that bet.

8. If We accept a ‘Cash Out’ when the result of a bet has already been determined, We reserve the right to void the ‘Cash Out’ and reclaim associated funds. We also reserve the right to void and reclaim any ‘Cash Out’ if there is any indication of abuse of the ‘Cash Out’ feature.

9. The ‘Cash Out’ functionality is not available for bets placed as ‘Bonus Bet.’

Auto & Notify Cash Out Terms and Conditions

1. Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out are available on markets that have Cash Out enabled. For information on Cash Out, please see the Cash Out Terms & Conditions.

2. Where an Auto Cash Out request has been made and Cash Out is unavailable, and not made available again before the end of an event, bets will be settled based on the final result.

3. If Cash Out is actioned manually for a bet, any existing Auto Cash Out or Notify Cash Out requests relating to that bet will be automatically removed and no longer apply.

4. The availability of the Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out features cannot be guaranteed and is not offered on all bets.

5. We shall not be responsible if the Auto Cash Out or Notify Cash Out features are not available for technical reasons and bets will stand as originally placed during any such period.

6. When a bet is live, all Cash Outs are subject to a live betting delay. This can mean that the Auto Cash Out process can start when the stated value is reached, but if the value of the Cash Out falls below the set amount before the live bet delay is complete, the Auto Cash Out may not complete.

7. Please note that Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out are not guaranteed. In some circumstances, We may be unable to automatically cash out Your bet(s) or send notifications, despite this appearing to be possible on the relevant sections of the website/app.

8. Auto Cash Out is independent of Cash Out settings, meaning that Auto Cash Out will ignore any Cash Out Value Change settings that are in place in the account. This means that Auto Cash Out will only complete at or above the value stated by the patron for each bet.

9. We reserve the right to amend, suspend, or remove the Auto Cash Out and/or Notify Cash Out features at any time for any event, fixture, or market. Any bets placed on such events, fixtures, or markets prior to such amendment, suspension, or removal of the Auto Cash Out and/or Notify Cash Out functionality, shall stand as originally placed.

10. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of a bet that has been settled using Auto Cash Out if the bet or a market is settled in error.

11. Notifications may be subject to delay, and We shall not be responsible for any delays in notifications being sent or received.

12. Cash Out values are subject to change and patrons should be aware that the Cash Out value available may be different to the Cash Out value stated in the notification.

Edit My Bet Terms and Conditions

1. Edit My Bet is available on selected events, fixtures, and markets both pre-match and live for a variety of sports.

2. When an Edit My Bet request is made, the current bet is subject to a Cash Out before the new bet with the edited changes is placed.

3. A bet delay may occur when validating an Edit My Bet request. If the price changes or a market is suspended during this time, the Edit My Bet request may not be successful.

4. Any settings already in place with regard to Cash Out value changes and/or betslip odds changes will continue to apply during the Edit My Bet process. Those settings can be amended within the ‘Betting Settings’ in Your player account.

5. Where any selection is suspended or closed after the patron’s request, and before the conclusion of the Edit My Bet process, the Edit My Bet will be unsuccessful.

6. If an Edit My Bet request is unsuccessful after the request is confirmed, the original bet may have been Cashed Out, which shall mean the Cash Out value of the original bet was returned to the player’s account in error. We will strive to return any such bets to the state they were in prior to the unsuccessful Edit My Bet request, provided that the bet has not yet been settled. We reserve the right to retrieve any funds which are incorrectly refunded to player account balances.

7. If the Edit My Bet request is successful, the new selected bet will be placed using either (a) the sum equal to the Cash Out of the original bet and, where applicable, (b) the increased/decreased stake selected during the Edit My Bet process. The bet details will be displayed within the “My Bets” section of the player account.

8. The Cash Out value is subject to change in line with the general market while the Edit My Bet process is ongoing.

9. Where a bet has been edited using Our Edit My Bet feature, the final stake on the last settled bet will be eligible to contribute towards a turnover requirement, provided that the selections meet the qualifying criteria. This means that the original stake placed on the original bet will be disregarded for turnover requirement purposes.

10. Using the Edit My Bet feature may impact the eligibility of Your bet for available promotions. It is the player’s responsibility to check the Terms and Conditions of each promotion before using the Edit My Bet feature.

11. The availability of the Edit My Bet feature cannot be guaranteed and is not offered on all bet types.

12. Where Edit My Bet is available pre-event and We do not cover the event live, the Edit My Bet feature will only be available before the event.

14. We shall not be responsible if the Edit My Bet feature is not available for technical reasons and bets shall stand as originally placed during any such period.

15. We reserve the right to accept or decline any bet/wager requested for any sport, competition, market, or bet type when attempting to use Edit My Bet.

16. We reserve the right to amend, suspend, or remove the Edit My Bet feature at any time for any event, fixture, or market. Any bets placed on such events, fixtures, or markets prior to such amendment, suspension, or removal of the Edit My Bet functionality, shall stand as originally placed.

17. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of a bet that has been edited using Edit My Bet if the bet or a market is settled in error.
