Betting & Gameplay Rules

Placing bets and acceptance

  • Offer and acceptance: A Bet is deemed placed when it is submitted from your device and received by the Operator's servers. A Bet is accepted only when it is registered in the Operator's systems and appears in your betting or game history.
  • Game rules: Each game or table has specific rules, minimum and maximum stakes, payout tables and return-to-player ("RTP") information. By participating, you confirm that you have read and understand the applicable rules displayed within the game client.
  • Currency: Bets are placed in the account currency shown in your cashier. Any exchange rates applied to deposits or withdrawals are determined by the Operator and/or your payment provider.

Modification, cancellation and voiding of bets

  • Irrevocability: Once a Bet has been accepted by the Operator, it cannot ordinarily be cancelled or changed by you.
  • Operator cancellation: The Operator may cancel or void a Bet, in whole or in part, where:
    • an obvious error (including technical or human error) occurred in odds, game configuration or settlement;
    • a game malfunctioned or did not operate as designed;
    • the Bet was placed in breach of these Terms or applicable law (including from a Prohibited Jurisdiction such as Ontario); or
    • collusion, cheating, use of bots, manipulation, exploitation of bugs or other abuse is suspected.
  • Malfunctions: In the event of a game malfunction, all Bets and payouts related to the malfunctioning game round are void and stakes may be returned, subject to KGC requirements.

Fairness, conduct and live casino/chat rules

  • Fair play: The Operator aims to offer games certified and periodically audited by independent testing bodies such as eCOGRA, which assess the integrity of the random number generator ("RNG") and game fairness.
  • Prohibited behaviour: You must not engage in abusive, harassing, defamatory, racist, sexist, obscene or otherwise inappropriate behaviour in any live casino, chat function or other interactive feature. You must not threaten staff or other players.
  • Collusion and automation: Collusion with other players, use of automated software ("bots"), scripts, data scraping tools or any form of advantage play that exploits software issues is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or closure.
  • Operator records: In case of disagreement about a Bet or game outcome, the Operator's server logs and game records, as reviewed by technical experts or eCOGRA if applicable, will be final and binding, subject to your right to escalate disputes as set out in these Terms.

Bonus Terms

Activation and eligibility

  • Offer-specific conditions: Each Bonus or Promotion is governed by specific terms displayed with the offer, including eligibility criteria, minimum deposit amounts, game restrictions, maximum bonus amounts and any code that must be entered.
  • One per person/household: Unless stated otherwise, Promotions are limited to one per person, household, IP address, payment method, device and shared environment (e.g., public computer, workplace, university residence).
  • Account verification: The Operator may withhold or cancel a Bonus, or void winnings derived from a Bonus, if your identity, age, residency or payment details have not been satisfactorily verified.

Wagering requirements and timeframes

  • Turnover obligations: Bonuses and any winnings derived from them are typically subject to wagering requirements expressed as a multiple of the bonus amount and/or the deposit amount (e.g., "x times bonus" or "x times deposit + bonus") as specified in the relevant offer.
  • Contribution of games: Not all games contribute equally towards wagering requirements. Certain games or bet types (for example, low-risk roulette bets or equal covering bets) may contribute at a reduced percentage or not at all, as described in the applicable promotional terms.
  • Expiry: Bonuses and associated wagering requirements must be completed within the timeframe stated in the offer. Bonuses that are not fully wagered within the stated period may expire, and any remaining bonus funds and bonus-derived winnings may be forfeited.

Prohibited bonus practices

  • Abuse: Bonus abuse includes, but is not limited to, creating multiple accounts, deliberately placing low-risk or offsetting bets to unlock bonuses with minimal risk, or using disposable payment methods to exploit welcome offers.
  • Irregular play: The Operator may treat as "irregular play" any betting pattern that is designed primarily to meet wagering requirements with limited real chance of loss, including but not limited to:
    • placing single large bets from a Bonus followed by significantly smaller bets;
    • covering many/all outcomes of a game round; or
    • transferring funds between games in a way that undermines the spirit of the Promotion.
  • Consequences: In cases of suspected abuse or irregular play, the Operator may remove Bonuses, cancel associated winnings and, where appropriate, close the Account and report activity to relevant authorities.

Combining promotions

  • No automatic combination: Bonuses and Promotions cannot generally be combined. If more than one Promotion is available, only one may be active at a time unless expressly stated otherwise.
  • Order of use: Real-money funds are usually staked before bonus funds, unless the specific promotional rules provide otherwise.

Payments & Withdrawals

Deposits

  • Payment methods: Available deposit methods may include, without limitation, major credit/debit cards, selected e-wallets, bank transfers and, where lawfully offered, certain cryptocurrencies. The methods available to you are those displayed in the cashier section of your Account.
  • Limits: Minimum and maximum deposit limits may apply per transaction or per period and will be shown in the cashier. The Operator may adjust limits based on your verification status, risk profile and responsible-gambling considerations.
  • Processing: Deposits are generally credited to your Account promptly once approved by your payment provider. The Operator is not responsible for delays caused by third-party providers or banks.

Withdrawals

  • Verification before payout: The Operator may require identity, payment method and source-of-funds verification before processing withdrawals, in line with KGC and AML requirements and evolving risk-control standards.
  • Withdrawal methods: Where possible, withdrawals will be processed via the same method used for deposit. If this is not possible, alternative methods may be offered in accordance with the Operator's policies and regulatory obligations.
  • Processing times: Internal review of withdrawal requests will generally take place within a reasonable timeframe as published on the Website. Additional time may be required for security checks or where requested information is outstanding, and for processing by banks or payment providers.
  • Fees and exchange rates: The Operator may charge reasonable processing fees or pass on costs imposed by payment providers. Any such fees, and applicable exchange rates, will be disclosed where practicable before you confirm the transaction.

Refunds, chargebacks and crypto-specific risks

  • Refunds of deposits and bets: Deposits are generally non-refundable once used for betting. The Operator may, at its discretion, refund unused deposits. Stakes on completed Bets will only be refunded where a Bet is voided due to error, malfunction or as otherwise provided in these Terms.
  • Chargebacks: If you initiate a chargeback or dispute a payment, the Operator may suspend your Account, recover any winnings paid out from such transactions, and disclose relevant information to payment providers, regulators and law enforcement as permitted by law.
  • Cryptocurrency volatility: Where cryptocurrencies are accepted, any conversion between crypto and fiat currencies is subject to exchange-rate fluctuations. The Operator is not responsible for changes in value that occur before, during or after the conversion process.

Ontario and Prohibited Jurisdictions

  • Ontario exclusion: If the Operator identifies that you are located in Ontario or another Prohibited Jurisdiction, it may cancel Bets, void winnings and refund remaining real-money balances (less any fees or losses) where required or permitted by applicable law and KGC policies.
  • VPN use: Use of VPNs or similar tools to conceal your true location or to appear to be in a permitted jurisdiction (including to bypass Ontario restrictions) is a serious breach of these Terms and may lead to forfeiture of funds.

Liability cap

  • Maximum compensation: Subject to any non-excludable statutory rights under Canadian law, the Operator's total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with any single Bet, game round or series of related events will not exceed the amount of the Bet or stake placed by you on the relevant Bet or game round.
