  1. for any purpose other than playing the Games;
  2. to distribute, sell, license, provide, or otherwise make services available to third parties;
  3. to store or transmit any material or information that is infringing, defamatory, libelous, defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, false, or in violation of the proprietary or intellectual property rights of any other person, or is otherwise harmful, unlawful, or unlawful, or violates the privacy rights of any third party;

6.3 We reserve the general right to exclude you from any of our Services and/or from receiving selected promotions and offers at any time without further explanation if we deem it necessary. Decisions to exclude you from selected actions and offers will not affect the actions you are already wagering on, nor will they affect your ability to use free bets or wagers and bonuses already earned by you prior to the decision to exclude you from selected actions and offers.

6.4 We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend, terminate, modify, delete or add to the Website and/or Games in GGPoker with immediate effect, without any obligation to notify you.

 

7. PAYMENTS

7.1 You can make deposits through the payment methods offered on the checkout page. More information regarding payment options, including minimum deposit requirements, can be found on the checkout page on the website.

7.2 To participate in the Games on the Website, you must deposit funds into your account.

7.3 The minimum deposit may vary depending on the payment option you use - more information is available on the Website.   

7.4 We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change the accepted payment method and/or accept certain payment methods only if certain conditions are met. We do not guarantee that all payment methods will be available at all times. Information on which payment and withdrawal methods are available at any given time can be found on the Cashier page on the Website or in the game client.

7.5 We do not accept cash sent to us.

7.6 For deposits and withdrawals of funds to your account, you will only use valid cards and payment methods that legitimately belong to you or are registered in your name.

7.7 We are required to verify that you own the payment method you wish to use. In some cases the verification may be automatic, but in other cases you may have to provide us with proof of management of the payment method. Failure to verify your payment method may prevent you from depositing.

7.8 If you have not verified your initial current account with us, this will be deemed as if you have not fully verified your account within the meaning of Article 3 above.

 

8. UPDATES

8.1 There may be minimum and maximum limits on the amount you can withdraw from your account, depending on the payment method used or the limits applicable to your account. For example, debit card withdrawals must be at least USD 10 (except in the case of a final withdrawal to close an account). Withdrawals are made to the verified account you have associated with your account and with which you have deposited funds. Withdrawals may be subject to service charges by banks, which will be deducted from your account at the time of withdrawal. We will not agree to reverse a withdrawal request you have made.

8.2 Upon a withdrawal request, the amount is immediately deducted from your balance and the deducted amount will not be available to play with. However, all withdrawals go through an internal review process to ensure compliance with fraud prevention and anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures, as well as other legal obligations and regulatory requirements. Consequently, the processing of internal controls on withdrawals generally takes up to 24 hours and in some cases, due to increased volume, up to 48-72 hours. After funds are processed, it may take 2-5 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account.

8.3 We will clearly indicate the exchange rate applied to your withdrawal amount at the time of your withdrawal request. Once you submit a withdrawal request, we will not be liable or compensate you for any fluctuations in the exchange rate between the time of your request and when the transaction is completed.

Actions

9.2 If and to the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions applicable to the bonus or promotion, the terms and conditions applicable to the bonus or promotion shall prevail.

9.3 If we believe that you are abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or promotion, or that you are likely to personally benefit from the abuse of a bonus or promotion, we may refuse, withhold or withdraw a bonus or promotion at our sole discretion. We may also terminate your access to our Website and/or your account. In such circumstances, we will have no obligation to refund any remaining balance in your account other than your original deposit.

9.4 If you participate in any of our promotions, we will ask you to participate in our advertising, marketing, publicity materials and activities (the "Marketing Activities"). You are under no obligation to do so. If you agree, we will ask you to (a) wear GGPoker clothing or wear GGPoker patches on your clothing, which we will provide to you; and (b) sign a release form allowing us to use your information in connection with the Marketing Activities for the Promotion.

9.5 At any third-party marketing event sponsored by GGPoker in which you have agreed to participate on behalf of GGPoker, you agree not to carry or display any third-party branding or advertising for any company that could be considered a competitor of GGPoker.

9.6 GGPoker bonuses/promotions are only available if you have a fully registered and verified account and are also at least 24 years of age or older.

Publicity

9.7 When you register for a tournament on GGPoker, we will ask you if you give us permission to use your game details in an online live stream, in online broadcasts, and in any other future publicity expression that GGPoker may do after the tournament is over. If you consent, we will publish your participation in GGPoker tournaments on various online and social media platforms where results will be published, as well as GGPoker player aliases, finishing positions, hands played, and payouts in the events.

9.8 Please read the terms and conditions of a tournament carefully before registering, as certain tournaments may be broadcast live via online streaming and later distributed as videos via online and social media. For example, some tournament brands, such as WSOP, require that your real name be published if you win a prize in an event designated as a WSOP event. GGPoker is the sole owner of such videos and reserves the right to share and distribute such videos for marketing and promotional purposes, provided you have consented. Before entering the tournament, you will be asked if you consent to your participation being recorded and broadcast via online streaming or videos on online and social media. We will never record or broadcast your activities without your direct consent.

9.9 Any final tables of tournaments selected by GGPoker may be broadcast on online media, such as the Twitch platform, with open hole cards, with a delay of 1 (one) hour from the actual playing time if you have expressly agreed to participate in such broadcast.

9.10 For some specific tournaments, if you have agreed to participate in such activities, we may require you to use your real name and will publish it instead of an alias if you win a prize in such tournaments. We will let you know before you enter the tournament and such information will be part of the tournament terms and conditions, which you must accept in order to participate.

 

10.SUSPENSION, RESTRICTION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT

10.1 Without limiting our ability to invoke any other remedies that may be available to us, we have the right to temporarily freeze your account (thereby preventing your use of our tournament services and the provision of promotional benefits) or permanently close your account at any time and for any reason, but in any event when we:

  1. suspect that you are engaging in illegal or fraudulent activities while using GGPoker as described in Article 11);
  2. suspect that you are violating any of these Terms or the House Rules or engaging in any of the activities prohibited under the terms of our Safety and Environmental Policy; or

  1. withdraw your funds in accordance with these Terms; and
  2. Receive all uncontested gaming winnings (and the value of uncontested free bets or wagers or bonuses) due to you by virtue of your participation prior to the decision to suspend or terminate your account.

10.4 If you wish to close your player account, please send an email to [email protected]. from your registered email address requesting that you terminate or close your account with us. You may choose to close your account at any time.

18.4 Self-exclusion

  1. If you choose to self-exclude, you are not eligible for any bonuses or promotions we offer during your self-exclusion.

  4. In case you have registered with the CRUKS national self-exclusion scheme, you will be prevented from opening a new account with GGPoker. If you have an existing account with us, that account will be blocked and your remaining balance will be paid to you.
  5. A CRUKS self-exclusion takes effect once your registration with CRUKS is processed. We want everyone to enjoy playing our Games.

  7. During a self-exclusion agreement, whether entered into directly with us or through CRUKS, you may not attempt to play with us, and we cannot be held responsible or liable for any subsequent consequences or losses (however caused) that you may suffer or incur if you continue to play through additional accounts where you have changed any of your registration information or you provide misleading, inaccurate or incomplete information or otherwise attempt to circumvent the self-exclusion.
  8. You may choose to reopen your account at the end of your self-exclusion period. If your self-exclusion period is between 60 (sixty) days and 119 (one hundred and nineteen) days or longer, you may need to contact the customer support team at [email protected].
  9. For self-exclusion periods longer than 120 (one hundred and twenty) days, accounts will be reopened only after you contact the customer service team at [email protected] with your phone number and we will call you to discuss your proposed return from self-exclusion. You will have a minimum 24-hour cooling off period before your account is reactivated after a new confirming phone call. While the 24-hour cooling off period is in effect, you will be given the option to cancel the reactivation.

 

19. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS

19.1 Should there be any claim or dispute relating to a bet or bets on GGPoker, you should refer such claim or dispute in the first instance to the Complaints Department at [email protected] and we will follow our Customer Complaint Procedure.

19.2 When a complaint is received through [email protected] or through a third party, the player will receive an acknowledgement of receipt of the complaint and a file number confirming that the player will receive a response within 21 days of receipt of the complaint. A player may file a complaint within 6 months of the date of the incident. This is a Stage 1 complaint.

19.3 The player will receive a response letter within 21 days of receiving the complaint. The response letter will include:

  1. the details of the investigation, along with findings;
  2. confirmation of whether or not the complaint is justified;
  3. if the complaint is upheld, details of the proposed compensation and/or remedy;
  4. confirmation of the player's ability to escalate the complaint to upper management if the player disputes the findings.

19.4 If the player responds to the response letter from Stage 1 and confirms that he is satisfied with the decision, or if the player does not respond within 7 days, the file shall be deemed "Closed". However, if the player communicates after the 7-day period that he disputes the decision, the file will be reopened.

19.5 If a player disputes the decision on this point of the complaint, the player will be notified that the complaint will be escalated internally as a dispute, which will be known as a Disputed Complaint.

19.6 If a player is not satisfied with the decision from the first round of the grievance procedure and disputes the complaint, the complaint will be escalated internally to a member of upper management for further review, with all facts and evidence of the complaint provided.
