2.1 The Customer is deemed to have accepted these Regulations from the time of placing a bet.

3. Entry into force of regulations

3.1 These "Regulations" apply from 10/02/2022 and govern all "Bets" accepted by the "Company", regardless of whether the "Customer" has been informed of them. The "Company" reserves the right to make changes to these Regulations, provided that it has received relevant approval from the National Betting Authority and informs its customers accordingly. However, in the event of a dispute, the "Company" will attempt to resolve the complaints of the "Customers" directly with the "Customers". The "Customers" of the "Company" must read, accept, and follow the following "Regulations". Subsequently, the issue of a Bet Slip documents the acceptance and understanding of the Regulations by the Customer.

3.2 It is forbidden to accept bets from customers under the age of 18.

4. Requests and anomalies

4.1 Where there is evidence that the match has been manipulated or any other event, the "Company" reserves the right to postpone the payment of the disputed option and to cancel it only where the match/ event is judged to have been manipulated after the completion of the investigation by the official competent body of any relevant sport.

4.3 The "Company" will withhold payment to any "Customer" when there is a suspicion or indications of any of the above.

5.1 The result at the end of the event will be considered the final result. All football "Bets" will be calculated based on the normal duration of a match (including delays). Any extra time, penalty shootout, or Golden Goal procedure are not considered.

5.2 In the case of a final interruption before the end of the event, selections that have already been judged (in their entirety or in part, as explained below) are considered valid.

5.3 Options that are considered to have been judged in their entirety are the choices that were already lost or won based on the result at the time the match was interrupted, and there was no chance of changing their result if the match continued. E.g., in football, if the hypothetical match SHEFFIELD UNITED – LEEDS UNITED is interrupted in the 55' minute and the result is 1-1, then all "Bets" that have not been judged are void but wins e.g. the halftime prediction option (HALFTIMEBET) which has already been judged (result X) and any other option that has already been judged. In this case, those who bet on the half-time result X win and those who bet on the halftime result of 1 or 2 lose, because if the match continued, then the result of their "Bet" would not change.

5.4 Those who bet on a prediction of the correct result of the match (CORRECT SCORE) 0-0, get the money of their "Bet" back, because if the match continues, the result could change.

5.5 If an event/match is interrupted and continues within 24 hours from its start from the minute of its interruption, then all open "Bets" concerning the specific event/match, will be settled based on the final result. In the opposite case, i.e., where an event does not continue from the point of interruption but starts from the beginning, then all "Bets" will be settled as void with "Odds" of 1.00 (unit). Predictions for matches that are not held or postponed or interrupted for any reason will remain valid for 24 hours from their scheduled start time. If the match does not take place after 24 hours, they will be considered void on the "Bet Slip" and to calculate winnings they are considered (void) with "Odds" of 1.00.

5.6 If the start date and time that have been entered on the computer of the "Company" is after (by mistake or for any other reason) the actual date and time of the event and the event is either in progress or has ended; all options for the event will be subject to cancelation and the "Bets" will be compensated, except the live "Bets" ("Bets" during the game). When a "Bet" consists of several selections, and one or more of the events to which it refers, is already in progress or has ended at the time that the "Bet" has been taken from the network of the "Company", the selection (selections) are calculated with a percentage of 1.00. The remaining options are valid and will be recognized.

Example 1

"Bet" (BEFORE THE START OF THE GAMES – PREMATCH) €20 Total of 5 teams, given that the selections are three (3) according to the minimum acceptable.

MANCHESTER CITY

LEEDS UNITED

ARSENAL

SHEFFIELD UNITED

JUVENTUS

If MANCHESTER CITY and LEEDS UNITED have already started at the time that the "Bet" was accepted by the "Company", the "Bet" will be considered as a "Bet" of 3 teams, worth €20, with MANCHESTER CITY and LEEDS UNITED evaluated with a percentage of 1.00.

Therefore, the "Company", due to its obligations based on a contract with the service provider, reserves the right to cancel such "Bets". Where no statistics of the service provider are given, videotaped receipts will be used to support the settlement method of the "Bet".

An own goal will count for the opposing team and not for the team that scored it.

23.3 Some events are programed to last less than usual. Under such circumstances, the "Bets" will be settled based on the specificities of each individuality. For example, some youth football matches last 80 instead of 90 minutes, so the "Bets" on these matches will be settled based on the final result of 80 minutes.

23.4 For no reason will a request for cancelation of the refund for LIVE BETTING "Bets" be accepted.

25. Responsible gaming

25.1 The "Bet" is fun for adults and is not a way to make money. Don´t challenge your luck. Bet only on what you can afford to lose. The company has implemented features in its gaming system that allow players to gamble responsibly. For many people, gambling is exciting and fun. They make careful decisions about how to spend their time and money, where to go and how to have fun. When a player loses the sense of fun that gambling occasionally aims to create, it means that they have a problem. You may begin to look at gambling as a way to make money or worse, is trying to win back the money it lost in the past. He often believes that he has particular luck or abilities or that his luck may change. When you bet to cover your losses and/or continue to bet more, the result is a vicious circle of increasing losses and increasing wagering to recover losses. If you think you have a problem with gambling, consult the multiple intervention counseling centers (22465616, 22465619). Otherwise, you can send a written letter, email, or fax to the "Company" and consider withdrawing.
