'Play money' funds have no value in and are kept separate from 'real money' funds. They are not transferable to a 'real money' account nor are they redeemable for any currency. To play the Real Money Games, you will be required to pay funds into your Account by any of the methods specified from time to time by Bet24. Such funds will be deposited into your Account upon actual receipt of funds by Bet24 and/or its agents. Minimum and maximum limits may be applied to the payments into your Account, depending upon your history with Bet24, the method of deposit, and other factors as determined solely by Bet24. Bet24 is not a bank and funds are not insured by any government agency. All payments to and from your Account must be paid in the currencies available on the Services from time to time and shall not bear interest and all payments into your Account must be from a payment source on which you are the named account holder.

13. Electronic Service Provider

Because Bet24 has no control over such websites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Bet24 is not responsible or liable for the availability of such external websites or resources, and does not screen or endorse them, and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, services, products, or other materials on or available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that Bet24 shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such third-party content, goods or services available on or through any such website or resource. If you decide to access any such third party website, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to any terms of service and privacy policies posted therein. You further acknowledge that use of any website controlled, owned or operated by third parties is governed by the terms of service of use for those websites, and not by these Terms. You further agree to hold Bet24 harmless from any and all damages and liability that may result from the use of links that may appear on Bet24.

Your account balance is the amount of real money held in your Account to access the Real Money Games, plus or minus any accrued winnings or losses from playing the Games, less any rakes or entry fees, and less any amounts previously withdrawn by you or amounts forfeited or reclaimed by Bet24 due to any known or suspected fraud or due to deposits or other transactions rejected or cancelled by your bank or any relevant third party bank (whether as a result of insufficient funds, charge-backs or otherwise), any Inactive Account Fees (see section 16 below) or any sums that are otherwise deductible or forfeited under this Agreement ('Account Balance'). Acceptance of cash out requests is subject to any deposit method restriction, bonus restrictions and Security Reviews (as set out below) and any other terms of this Agreement. All amounts you withdraw are subject to the transaction limits and any processing fees for certain withdrawal methods that we notify you of before cashing out. Further, Bet24 may report and withhold any amount from winnings in order to comply with any applicable law. All national and local taxes due in connection with any winnings awarded to you are your sole liability. Account Balances cannot be transferred, substituted or redeemed for any other prize. Payment of funds that you withdraw shall be made by cheque, wire, credit card and/or any other manner that Bet24 selects in its sole discretion, although we will try to accommodate your preferences as indicated by you when you register. Payments will be made as soon as reasonably possible, although there may be delays due to any Security Review (see section 20 below) undertaken by Bet24 and save where Bet24 holds any such payments in accordance with this Agreement.

16. Inactive Accounts
Regarding the Platform, if you do not access your Account by 'logging on' to your Account using your Account name and password and (i) place a cash wager, or (ii) enter a tournament with a cash entry fee, or (iii) play a raked hand, for any period of 180 days, then after those 180 days (the '180-day grace period') your Account (and any related account with any ESP) will be deemed 'Inactive'.
If your Account becomes Inactive, then Bet24 is entitled to charge you an administrative fee (the 'Inactive Account Fee'). Bet24 will deduct an amount up to the Inactive Account Fee amount from your Account Balance on the day following the end of the 180-day grace period and then every thirty (30) days thereafter.

17. Abusive or Offensive Language
Abusive or offensive language will not be tolerated on the chat boards, Games, or otherwise by you on Bet24 sites or with Bet24 staff. Any violation of this policy will result in a suspension of playing privileges or such other action as may be reasonably required by Bet24 to ensure compliance. In addition, you are not entitled to make untrue and/or malicious and/or damaging comments with regard to Bet24's operation in any media or forum.

18. Disclosure of Account Details
You agree to keep your Account name and password secret and confidential and not to allow any third party whatsoever to use it. If you intentionally or unintentionally, directly or indirectly, disclose your Account name and password to another person, and such disclosure results in a third party participating in the Games using your Account name and password, such participation may be held valid, and you will not be refunded any resulting losses at the Platform, regardless of whether or not the third party had your consent. Bet24 shall not be required to maintain Account names or passwords although if you have lost your Account name or password, please contact us for a replacement. If you misplace, forget, or lose your account name or password because of anything other than Bet24's error, Bet24 shall not be liable.

19. Fraudulent Activities
Bet24 has a zero tolerance policy towards inappropriate play and fraudulent activity. If, in Bet24's sole determination, you are found to have cheated or attempted to defraud Bet24 or any other user of any of the Games in any way including but not limited to game manipulation or payment fraud, or if Bet24 suspects you of fraudulent payment, including use of stolen credit cards, or any other fraudulent activity (including any chargeback or other reversal of a payment) or prohibited transaction (including money laundering), Bet24 reserves the right to suspend and/or close your Account and to share this information (together with your identity) with other online gaming sites, banks, credit card companies, and appropriate agencies. You must inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors with respect to your account or any calculations with respect to any bet or wager you have placed. In the event of 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 (?System Error?) Bet24 will seek to place all parties in the position they were in before the error occurred. Bet24 reserves the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were the subject of such System Error and to take any money from your account relating to these bets or wagers or, if there are insufficient funds in your account, demand that you pay us the relevant outstanding amount relating to these bets or wagers. In all circumstances whereby Bet24 (in its sole discretion) determines a System Error has been used to gain an unfair advantage, Bet24 reserves the right to consider this activity to be subject to Section 21 (Forfeiture and Account Closure) of these Terms and Conditions of Use.

20. Security Review
To maintain a high level of security and integrity in the system, Bet24 reserves the right to conduct a security review at any time to validate your identity, age, the registration data provided by you, to verify your playing of the Games and your financial transactions for potential breach of this Agreement and of applicable law. As such, you authorize us and our agents to make any inquiries of you and for us to use and disclose to any third party we consider necessary to validate the information you provide to us or should provide to us in accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to, ordering a credit report and/or otherwise verifying the information against third party databases. In addition, to facilitate these security reviews, you agree to provide such information or documentation as Bet24, in its unfettered discretion, may request.

21. Forfeiture
21.1 Bet24 reserves the right, in its unfettered discretion and in relation to your account, any related ESP account, any accounts you may have with other sites and/or casinos and/or services owned or operated by or on behalf of Bet24 and any services that share the shared game/table platform, to withhold your account balance, suspend your account, and recover any pay-outs, bonuses and winnings if:

(ii) Bet24 should become aware that you have played at any other online gaming site or services and are suspected of fraud, collusion (including in relation to charge-backs) or unlawful or improper activity;
(iii) You have 'charged back' or denied any of the purchases or deposits that you made to your Account;
(iv) If you become bankrupt or analogous proceedings occur anywhere in the world.
21.2 If, after a Security Review (see section 20 above) has been performed, you have either:
(i) Been found not to have been in compliance with this Agreement; or
(ii) Not provided responses satisfactory to Bet24 in its sole discretion within any reasonable timeframe specified in a security review request or (where none has been specified 30 days from the sending or making of the request); then any withheld Account balances will be deemed forfeited and your Account closed.

22. Termination
You are entitled to close your Account and terminate this Agreement at any time by sending an email or telephoning Bet24 and we will respond within a reasonable time provided that you continue to assume responsibility for all activity on your Account until such closure has been acknowledged and effected by us. Bet24 is entitled to terminate this agreement immediately on notice (or attempted notice) to you at the email address you have provided Bet24. Where Bet24 has terminated as a result of a failed Security Review, any Account Balances in your Account are non-refundable and deemed forfeited.

23. Indemnity
