From time to time, the Services may also be offered through alternative platforms including: (i) interactive television; (ii) mobile gambling platforms; and (iii) in-flight entertainment systems (each an ‘Alternative Platform’).

  2.

3. Who May Use The Services And Software

  1. The Services are intended solely for players who register or play in the UK. We accept no responsibility for any unlawful or unauthorised use of the Software and/or the Services by you.
  2. If we reasonably believe that you are accessing or using the Software or Services from outside the UK, we may terminate your account, freeze any funds held in your account and disclose your details to our licensors and/or relevant authorities. You will be responsible for any resulting loss or damage.
  3. You must not download the Software or use the Services if you are under 18 years of age. If you are under 18 and download the Software or use the Services, this will constitute a material breach of the User Agreement and we will close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below.
  4. PLEASE NOTE: Gambling while under the age of 18 constitutes a criminal offence in the UK.
  5. Before you are permitted to deposit funds into your account, place wagers using real money or bonuses, or access any free-to-play gambling games, we will take steps to verify that you are aged 18 or over.
  6. Prior to allowing you to gamble, we will also verify your identity by confirming, at a minimum, your name, address and date of birth.
  7. If, following completion of the age and/or identity verification process, you are found to be under 18 or to have provided false or inaccurate registration information, this will constitute a material breach of the User Agreement. We will close your account in accordance with applicable regulations and terminate the User Agreement. You will not be permitted to gamble until your age and identity have been successfully verified.
  8. To carry out the age and identity checks referred to above, we generally use third party service providers. Where verification results are inconclusive, or where we reasonably suspect that the identification details you have provided do not accurately reflect your true identity, we may request one or more of the following documents: (a) a government issued identification document, such as a driving licence or passport; (b) proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement in your name showing the address registered on your account; or (c) confirmation that the registered payment method belongs to you, such as copies of the front and back of your debit card with the middle digits and CVV code obscured. These documents may be scanned and uploaded via the Cashier or a designated pop-up, or submitted by email, as applicable. We may also require such documents to be notarised at your expense if we reasonably believe they may not be genuine or valid. If any documents fail our internal security checks, including where we suspect alteration, falsification or misrepresentation, we are not obliged to accept them as valid or to provide detailed feedback on our findings. Failure to supply the requested documentation will result in failure of the age and/or identity verification process.
  9. In addition to the verification steps outlined above, we may at a later stage carry out further checks to ensure that the information we hold about you remains accurate and current. This may include verification of your source of funds, financial position, occupation or similar details, as well as confirmation that you are the lawful holder of any payment method to which you request withdrawals. As part of this process, you may be required to provide identification documents, proof of address, proof of payment method ownership and/or financial documents demonstrating your source of wealth or funds, such as bank statements, payslips or P60 forms. These documents may be uploaded via the Cashier or a designated pop-up or submitted by email, as applicable. We reserve the right to apply restrictions to your account, including limits on deposits, based on the information provided or where such information is not provided. We shall not be liable for any losses incurred by you prior to the application of such restrictions or in relation to any other accounts you may have registered or reactivated, whether before or after such restrictions are applied.
  10. We may also conduct background checks from time to time for purposes including the detection and prevention of fraud, verification of source of wealth or source of funds, and the identification and analysis of activity associated with money laundering or terrorism financing. As part of this process, you may be required to provide identification documents, proof of address, confirmation of payment method ownership and/or financial documentation supporting your source of wealth or funds. These documents may be submitted via the Cashier, a designated pop-up or by email, as applicable. We are not obliged to notify you each time such due diligence, verification, investigation or ongoing monitoring is undertaken. These activities may involve the use of third party service providers and publicly available information. Where any such checks raise concerns, we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below.
  11. While engaged by us, and for a period of 24 months thereafter, none of our officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, group companies, suppliers, vendors or White Label Brand Partners are permitted to use the Services, whether directly or indirectly.

We also do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, reliability or results of any materials or information obtained through the Services.
  6. We shall not be liable for any loss of data arising from an Error, as defined in section 5.1 below, except where such loss results from our failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, nor shall we be liable for any damage to your computer equipment or software.
  7. Subject to the above, the Software and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties or representations, whether express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, completeness of the Software or Services, or that the Software and/or Services will meet your requirements.
  8. Except as expressly stated in this Section 4, we do not provide any guarantees in relation to the Software or the Services, nor do we make any guarantees regarding statements made by advertisers on or through the Software and/or Services.

5. Errors, Voiding Bets and Winnings

  1. From time to time, technical issues or human or manual mistakes, whether made by us or by a party acting on our behalf, may arise and impact the Services, the Site and/or the Software. In some instances, such issues may not be visible or identifiable by you or by us until verification checks have been completed (each an “Error”), including but not limited to:
    1. system or communication failures, delays, interruptions, faults, bugs and/or viruses;
    2. game related malfunctions or errors, including issues affecting the underlying mechanics or mathematical models on which a game operates. This includes situations where a game functions other than in accordance with its published return to player percentage and/or its published game rules. Such malfunctions or errors may impact, among other things, the frequency, amount or likelihood of winnings being paid;
    3. mistakes in the odds and/or terms of a bet offered for betting purposes, including: (1) where odds or terms are stated incorrectly; (2) where a palpable or obvious error occurs, meaning odds are offered that differ materially from the general market or are clearly incorrect based on the likelihood of the event; (3) where a betting offer includes an incorrect participant, such as an individual or team not involved in the event; and/or (4) for Live or In Play Bets, as defined in the 888Sport Sports Betting Rules, where the odds offered are based on a score displayed on the Site that differs from the actual score at that time as provided by the relevant governing sports body or organization;
    4. errors in the acceptance of a bet, including:
      1. where a bet is accepted by us in error;
      2. where a bet, other than a Live or In Play Bet as defined in the 888Sport Sports Betting Rules, is accepted after the relevant event has started; and/or
      3. in relation to Live or In Play Bets: (i) where a bet is accepted at incorrect odds or price due to delayed or faulty live coverage; (ii) where a bet is accepted on an in play event that has already taken place; or (iii) where a bet is accepted after a separate event, which may influence the outcome of the event being bet on, has already occurred or is occurring, for example where a free kick is awarded in football and a bet is placed on the next goal being scored from a free kick; and/or
      4. errors in the settlement of a bet and/or in the calculation or allocation of winnings, such as settling a fixed odds bet using odds different from those placed, paying winnings on a losing wager, or distributing winnings that are not due.
  2. Where an Error occurs, we will take reasonable steps to resolve the Error while seeking to minimise any impact on you, noting that we are not required to provide any backup systems or similar services.
  3. If an Error occurs: (a) any bet or wager affected by that Error will be declared void; and (b) any winnings, bonuses or similar benefits awarded or paid to you that would not have been awarded or paid but for the Error (“Erroneous Winnings”) will be void. This means that the affected bet or wager will not count and any Erroneous Winnings will not be payable to you, regardless of whether they have already been credited to your account.
  4. While we assess whether any Winnings constitute Erroneous Winnings, we may temporarily suspend payment of those Winnings. If our review determines that the Winnings are not Erroneous Winnings, payment or credit will be processed. If they are determined to be Erroneous Winnings, they will not be paid or credited.
  5. If, for any reason, you are able to withdraw Erroneous Winnings, you will be required to repay the relevant amount to us without delay. We may offset this amount against any funds otherwise owed to you.
  6. Please refer to our Disconnection Policy for information on how game sessions and bets are handled across our different products if you are disconnected while playing a game or placing a bet.

In such circumstances, we will only return any cashable funds held in your real money bankroll, excluding any costs, losses or damages directly incurred by us as a result of the breach, provided the resulting amount is positive. Where you have materially breached the User Agreement, we reserve the right to retain any deposits, winnings or funds held in your account. We may also withhold funds where required by applicable law, regulation or a relevant authority.

You must not allow any third party, including a relative as defined in section 3.11 above, to use your account, password or identity to access or use the Services or the Software. You remain fully responsible for all activity carried out on your account, whether by you or by any third party acting on your behalf.
  5. You will keep your account username and password confidential and will take all reasonable steps to prevent them from being disclosed to any other person. You must notify us as soon as reasonably possible if you believe that your account is being misused or that a third party has gained access to your username or password. You agree to cooperate with us during any investigation into such matters. We will not be liable for any misuse of or access to your username or password by a third party, unless this occurs as a direct result of our failure to exercise reasonable care and skill.
  6. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your username and password on your own computer or internet access location. If your username or password is compromised due to viruses or malware present on your device, and this does not result directly from our failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, responsibility rests with you. You should report any known hacking attempts or security breaches affecting your device to us as soon as you become aware of them.
  7. You acknowledge that gambling using the Services involves a risk of losing money. You agree that your use of the Services is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
  8. You acknowledge that the Software may include features provided by third parties which may be installed on your device as part of the Software and may be updated automatically from time to time. These features may, among other things, access your hand history stored on your device for the purpose of providing promotions and notifications. You may choose not to enable hand history recording or may uninstall the relevant feature.
  9. You are solely responsible for declaring, reporting and paying any taxes or other levies that may be payable to any governmental, taxation or other authority in respect of any winnings paid to you.
  10. We may publish details of amounts you have won together with your chosen username and profile picture on the Site and or through social networks for promotional or other purposes. Full terms and conditions relating to social network promotions are available here. Certain games may also require the display of your username, profile picture and winnings or points accumulated in order to function correctly, for example leader boards. You agree that we may use your username, profile picture and winnings for such in game functionality without requiring further consent.
  11. You are responsible for obtaining access to telecommunications networks and the Internet for your device and for securing any permissions or consents required for your device to connect to the Software and the Services.

You acknowledge that certain games offered as part of the Services operate on a shared basis, allowing users of the In House Brands, White Label Brands and certain third party platforms to play together. In such cases, you accept that you may play with or against other users whose configurations may differ from yours, including but not limited to differences in currency and betting limits.
  13. You acknowledge and agree that certain games offer progressive jackpots. A progressive jackpot increases in value based on contributions from player stakes, including from players located in different countries. We may decommission a progressive jackpot at any time, including before it has been won in certain circumstances. If a progressive jackpot is decommissioned across all brands before it is won and the relevant game is available to UK players, we will seek to redistribute contributions and may, among other actions: (i) use outstanding contributions from UK and non UK players to fund a new progressive jackpot available to UK players; (ii) use outstanding contributions from UK players to fund a jackpot available only to UK players; or (iii) refund UK players their outstanding contributions.
  14. You acknowledge that in peer to peer gaming, technical factors such as slower network speeds or reduced device performance may place you at a disadvantage compared to other players.

9. Prohibitions Regarding Your Uses of the Sites and Services

  1. If we reasonably determine that you are engaging in, or have engaged in, any fraudulent or unlawful activity, or have carried out any prohibited transaction, including money laundering, under the laws of any jurisdiction applicable to you, such conduct will constitute a material breach of the User Agreement. In such circumstances, we may close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below and we will have no obligation to refund any deposits, winnings or funds held in your account. We may also restrict your access to any of our other websites, servers or services. We are entitled to notify relevant authorities, other online service providers, banks, card issuers, electronic payment providers or other financial institutions of your identity and of any suspected unlawful or fraudulent activity. You agree to cooperate fully with us in the investigation of any such activity. Where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that you are, or may have been, involved in fraudulent or unlawful activity, we may suspend your account while such investigation is carried out.
  2. The following are examples of what may constitute “fraudulent or unlawful activity”:
    1. Illegal Funds: Where funds used by you for gambling originate from illegal sources, where the Services are used as a money transfer mechanism, or where we reasonably suspect involvement in money laundering activities, including the use of proceeds of crime.
    2. Unfair Betting Techniques: Using recognised betting techniques intended to bypass the standard house edge, including but not limited to martingale strategies, card counting, or low risk roulette betting such as placing equal bets on red and black.
    3. Circumvention: Gaining, or attempting to gain, unauthorised access to our systems or security measures, including attempts to bypass restrictions that prevent you from using the Services after opting out.
    4. Software Aids: Using any Software Aids, as described in section 25.3.3 below.
    5. Using Artificial Intelligence: Using any software, program or automated system with artificial intelligence capabilities to perform actions on behalf of a player.
    6. Intentional Disconnection: Deliberately disconnecting from a game while playing on the Sites. We use sophisticated methods to detect and identify intentional disconnections.
    7. Collusion: Where two or more players cooperate to gain an unfair advantage, including sharing information about cards or gameplay, or agreeing to split prize pools unless expressly permitted by us.
    8. Chip-Dumping: Engaging in chip-dumping, as described in section 25.3.4 below.
    9. Abuse of the “Sit Out” Feature: Misuse of the “Sit Out” feature, as described in section 25.3.5 below.
    10. Systematic Abuse: Operating an account or group of accounts in a coordinated or systematic manner to gain an unfair advantage over other players or to deceive other players or us, including playing as a group or using specific cheating techniques.
    11. Special Offer Abuse: Where we reasonably believe that you are attempting to unfairly benefit from, exploit or manipulate any promotions, bonuses or special offers, including welcome bonuses, this will be classified as “Special Offer Abuse”. Examples include: (i) opening multiple similar accounts to obtain a welcome bonus more than once; (ii) depositing only during promotional periods to receive bonuses; (iii) opening multiple accounts across our networks; (iv) where there is reasonable doubt regarding the accuracy of your identity; (v) repeatedly playing free games without playing paid games; (vi) purchasing all tickets for a free game; or (vii) repeatedly depositing, withdrawing and redepositing solely to obtain deposit related bonuses.
    12. Depositing But Not Playing: Depositing excessive funds into an account without playing, or with no genuine intention to play using those funds.
    13. Failed or Uncompleted Verification: Failing to (i) provide all verification documents requested by us, or (ii) provide accurate and valid documentation to verify your registration details, as required under section 3 above.

10. Your Account

  1. Your account is intended solely for your personal use and must not be used for any professional, business or commercial purposes.
  2. Funds held in your account do not earn or accrue interest.
  3. If you do not access your account for a continuous period of 12 months, other than where inactivity results from self-exclusion in accordance with the Responsible Gaming Policy, your account will be treated as a “dormant account”. Before your account is classified as dormant, we will take reasonable steps to notify you using the most recent contact details you have provided. Once an account becomes dormant, we will suspend the balance for security purposes to ensure it remains protected. As a result, the balance may not be visible if you attempt to log in. Your entitlement to the balance remains unaffected and you may contact us at any time via live chat to request access to any positive balance that existed prior to dormancy. Subject to completion of any required identity verification checks, we will restore access to your account and balance where reasonably possible, or alternatively refund the positive balance directly to you.
  4. We may, at any time, including after termination of the User Agreement, offset any positive balance in your account against any amounts owed by you to us. For example, where a bet has been settled and subsequently requires resettlement in relation to sports betting services, we may deduct the relevant amount from your account.
  5. Where currency conversion applies, we may operate a rounding policy in relation to deposits and withdrawals. As a result, amounts deposited or withdrawn in currencies other than US Dollars may be rounded up or down when converted. By way of example only, where a deposit of 10 EUR converts to 13.61 USD based on the exchange rate, your account may be credited with 14.00 USD. Details of the applicable rounding policy will be made available at the point of conversion.
  6. All funds deposited by you will be held in a bank account in our name (the “Designated Account”). The Designated Account is a segregated account that contains only player funds and is used solely for the purpose of facilitating payment for use of our services. Funds will remain in the Designated Account until used for that purpose.
  7. Please note that the Designated Account meets the Great Britain Gambling Commission requirements for medium level protection, as player funds are held separately from our operational funds in a designated client account and are subject to specific handling instructions. While measures are in place to protect customer funds, there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid in the event of insolvency. Further information regarding customer fund protection is available on the Great Britain Gambling Commission website here.
  8. In the event that we become insolvent and enter liquidation, our assets and liabilities will be managed in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar and creditors will be paid in line with the statutory order of priority.
  9. Where the Software operates using a third party application interface, certain details relating to your historical gambling activity may not be available for display online.
  10. If you have a child who is not legally of age, you should take appropriate precautions to ensure that they do not access the Services through your devices.
  11. You may only access the Software and use the Services through your own account and must not use another person’s account under any circumstances. Any attempt to access or use the Services or Software via another person’s account will constitute a breach of the User Agreement and may result in account closure and termination of the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below.
  12. You may hold only one account per product offered by us, meaning one account each for casino, poker and sports betting. For clarity, this allows a maximum of three accounts in total, one for 888Sport, one for 888Poker and one for either 888Casino or 777.com. If we reasonably believe that you have opened, or are associated with, more than one account for any product, any additional accounts will be treated as “Duplicate Accounts”. Association may include, without limitation, use of another person’s account or details, multiple accounts linked to the same address, email address or IP address, or any other method of operating more than one account for a single product. In respect of any Duplicate Account, we may:
    1. close the Duplicate Account and retain only the original account, unless circumstances justify closure of all accounts;
    2. void any bonuses or free bets used on the Duplicate Account and any winnings derived from them; and/or
    3. void any future bets or wagers placed using the Duplicate Account and any winnings arising from such bets.
    If we are unable to fully recover amounts paid to a Duplicate Account, we may recover those amounts from your original account or from any other Duplicate Account held by you or on your behalf.
  13. Please note that where your ownership of a registered payment method cannot be confirmed without supporting documentation, you may be required to provide appropriate documents before you are permitted to withdraw funds.

11. Payment Transactions and Payment Fraud by You

  1. You are fully responsible for payment of all amounts owed to us. You agree not to make, or attempt to make, any charge-backs, nor to deny or reverse any payments you have made. You further agree to reimburse us for any charge-backs, payment denials or reversals initiated by you, together with any losses we incur as a result. In accordance with this User Agreement, we may suspend provision of the Services or withhold payments to certain users or to users making payments with specific debit cards.
  2. 888 UK Limited is responsible for processing your payments and handling your funds. Where applicable, UK Regulated Lim will appear on your payment statements. Subject to regulatory requirements, we may from time to time, and without prior notice, use another company within our corporate group to provide these services.
  3. We may use third party electronic payment processors and or financial institutions to process payments made by you or to you in connection with your use of the Services.
  4. Where we reasonably suspect that a fraudulent payment is being made or received, including the use of stolen debit cards, or where any other fraudulent activity is identified, including charge-backs or payment reversals, we reserve the right to close your account and terminate the User Agreement, reverse any payouts and recover any winnings. We may notify relevant authorities or entities, including credit reference agencies, of any suspected payment fraud or unlawful activity and may use collection agencies to recover outstanding payments. We shall not be liable for any unauthorised use of debit cards, regardless of whether such cards have been reported stolen, except where otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations. We also reserve the right to apply fees for processing deposits and withdrawals, as detailed in the Cashier.
  5. We may block or close your account if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have used, or attempted to use, a payment method belonging to another person who has entered into a self-exclusion agreement with us.

12. Our Promotions and Bonuses

  1. From time to time, we may make promotions, bonuses or special offers available. These are subject to the User Agreement, the Bonus Policy and any promotion specific terms and conditions provided to you (“Promotion Terms”). Where there is any inconsistency between the User Agreement, the Bonus Policy and the Promotion Terms, and to the extent that they relate to a bonus or special offer, the following order of precedence will apply: (i) Promotion Terms; (ii) Bonus Policy; (iii) User Agreement.
  2. We reserve the right to amend or withdraw any promotion, bonus or special offer at any time. Except where necessary to prevent fraud or similar unlawful activity, any such change or withdrawal will not affect you if, prior to notification of the change or withdrawal, you have already opted into the promotion, made a deposit in anticipation of receiving a bonus or benefit, and or commenced play in connection with the relevant promotion or offer.
  3. Where we reasonably believe that a user is engaging in Special Offer Abuse, as described further in section 9.2(k), we may take one or more of the following actions:
    1. require you to provide one or more of the following documents: (a) a government issued identification document, such as a driving licence or passport; (b) proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement in your name showing the registered address; or (c) confirmation that the registered payment method belongs to you, such as copies of the front and back of your debit card with the middle digits and CVV code concealed. These documents may be uploaded via the Cashier, a designated pop up, or sent by email, as applicable. We may request that such documents are notarised at your own expense where we reasonably believe that a document may not be genuine or valid. If the documents fail our internal security checks, including where we suspect alteration or misrepresentation, we are not obliged to accept them as valid or to provide details of our findings. Failure to provide the requested documentation will result in failure of the verification process;
    2. refuse, withhold or withdraw any bonus, offer or promotion from a user, either temporarily or permanently; or
    3. close the relevant user account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15 below.
  4. If we have concerns regarding your gambling activity from a responsible gambling perspective, we may temporarily restrict your eligibility to receive bonuses. Where such a restriction is applied, we will notify you by email and advise of the duration of the restriction.
  5. Each user is entitled to a single welcome bonus only. Users who make a first deposit on any Site owned or operated by us, whether under an In House Brand or a White Label Brand, and who currently have or have previously held an account with any Site owned or operated by us, will not be eligible for an additional welcome bonus.
  6. We may occasionally notify you of special promotions by various means, including but not limited to email, telephone, SMS and pop up windows displayed within the Software, unless you have opted out of receiving such communications. Unless stated otherwise in the applicable terms and conditions, promotions will commence at 00:00 and conclude at 23:59 GMT on the stated dates.
  7. You will be provided with options to opt out of certain categories of communications from us and, where you choose to do so, we will comply with your preferences.
  8. Bonus funds are subject to wagering requirements, meaning that you must place wagers of a specified total value before bonus funds and any associated winnings may be withdrawn. Further information regarding wagering requirements is available in the Bonus Policy.
  9. Your account balance consists of both “Available Funds” (also referred to on the Sites as “Cash Balance” or “Deposit Funds”) and “Restricted Funds” (also referred to as “Bonus Balance”).
    1. Available Funds include funds deposited by you, winnings derived from those funds and any bonus funds that have satisfied the applicable wagering requirements. Available Funds may be used to place wagers on eligible games or withdrawn at any time in accordance with the Withdrawal Policy.
    2. Restricted Funds consist of bonus funds that have not yet met wagering requirements, any winnings associated with those bonus funds, as well as free spins, FreePlay, jackpot vouchers, Tournament Tickets, Free Bet Tokens and Profit Boost Tokens.

    Please note that deposits may not be credited to your account immediately and may take several days to be processed by your payment provider. Until the deposit is credited, it will not be treated as Available Funds.
  10. If your account contains both Available Funds and Restricted Funds, wagers will be placed using Available Funds first, with Restricted Funds only being used once Available Funds have been exhausted. This does not apply to the use of free spins, FreePlay, jackpot vouchers, Tournament Tickets, Free Bet Tokens or Profit Boost Tokens, which may be used independently.
  11. Where you have successfully made a real money deposit and place wagers on casino games using Restricted Funds, any resulting winnings will be capped at $500/euro;500/pound;500, depending on your account currency. Any winnings exceeding this amount will not be paid.
  12. Where you have not successfully made a real money deposit and place wagers on casino games using Restricted Funds, any resulting winnings will be capped at $100/euro;100/pound;100, depending on your account currency. Any winnings exceeding this amount will not be paid.
  13. The winning limits set out in clauses 12.11 and 12.12 do not apply to verified progressive jackpot prizes derived from Restricted Funds, which are not capped. From 17 July 2024, wagers using FreePlay or free spins will not be eligible to win progressive jackpot prizes.
  14. Jackpot prizes will not increase as a result of wagers placed using Restricted Funds. Only wagers made using Available Funds contribute to jackpot prize values.
  15. Until you have successfully made a real money deposit, the maximum amount that may be transferred to your Available Funds balance is $100/euro;100/pound;100, subject to satisfaction of the relevant wagering requirements.
  16. You may request removal of bonus funds from your account at any time. If you do so, any winnings generated from those bonus funds may also be removed.

13. What Are Our Obligations to You?

  1. Except where required by any applicable law or regulation, we are under no obligation to monitor whether you are using the Services in compliance with the User Agreement, nor are we required to investigate or pursue any complaints you may raise against other users of the Services or to take any action in connection with such matters.
  2. We have no obligation to retain or safeguard account usernames or passwords. If you forget, lose or misplace your username or password for any reason other than our failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, we will not be liable for any resulting loss or inconvenience.

  3. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the User Agreement is intended to confer rights and obligations only on you and us. This does not affect our ability to transfer the User Agreement under section 16.5.

  5. We may transfer our rights or obligations, or subcontract our obligations, under the User Agreement in whole or in part, without your consent: (i) to any entity within our corporate group; or (ii) as part of any merger, sale of assets or similar corporate transaction.

You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations or subcontract any obligations under the User Agreement, in whole or in part.

  3. Poker
    1. All bets you place in multi player poker games are made with other users and not with or against us. We assume no risk in respect of bets placed between you and any other user of the Service.
    2. Please note that for peer to peer games or any other games, you may only use tools or software that fall within the following categories: (i) tools providing basic game statistics or information useful to beginners, such as hand strength or pot odds indicators; (ii) tools offering basic level guidance, such as opening hand charts; (iii) tracking software that calculates and displays in game statistics intended solely to help organise information already available to you at the table; and (iv) tools that enhance user experience without influencing gameplay or providing advice, such as improved display, keyboard shortcuts or enhanced visibility (together, “Permitted Aids”). For the avoidance of doubt, item (iv) does not include any software or external aid which, in our opinion, assists you in finding a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a table.
    3. You must not use any software, robot or external aid that incorporates artificial intelligence or that is not included in the list of Permitted Aids set out in section 25.3.2 above, regardless of whether the Software itself is being used. Examples of prohibited tools include: (i) tools or services enabling collusion between players, such as card sharing; (ii) tools assisting in game selection based on player identity; (iii) tools or websites that disclose or share information about other players without their consent, including statistics or earnings; (iv) any tool that performs actions on behalf of a player at the table; (v) tools that collect information about other players while the player is absent from the table; (vi) tools that provide real time game advice based on the actions of other players; or (vii) any software or external aid which, in our opinion, assists in locating or automatically seating a player at a poker table (collectively, “Software Aids”).
    4. Chip dumping occurs when a player intentionally loses a hand in order to transfer chips to another player. You must not engage in, or attempt to engage in, chip dumping while using the Services.
    5. You must not repeatedly misuse the “Sit Out” feature or use it for excessive periods. The Sit Out feature is intended only for short breaks during ongoing play and is not designed for use when no play is taking place or for waiting for players to join or leave a table.
    6. You acknowledge and agree that all multi player poker games are public and may be reviewed or published by other players, either during gameplay or after it has concluded.
    7. We provide multi player poker games as a platform enabling users to play poker and place bets with one another using the Software. In consideration for this service, we charge either:
      • a commission, known as a rake, calculated in accordance with the House Rules; or
      • a percentage of the tournament buy in fee. For Blast Tournaments, please refer here.
    8. In the event of a poker related fraud investigation, we are under no obligation to accept any explanation provided regarding the receipt or use of fraudulent funds. If such an investigation is resolved and your account is reopened, we may remove any fraudulent funds from your bankroll.
    9. You are fully responsible for all monies owed by you to other users of the Service and to us. Any claim you may have relating to winnings from losing bets placed by another user, or in relation to any arrangements or deals made with another user, shall be pursued against that user and not against us. We are not responsible for paying you where another user fails to meet their obligations, nor are we required to take action against such users. Any disputes between users, including those involving payment fraud, are not our responsibility.
    10. Where an investigation is conducted into suspected fraudulent poker activity involving your account and other players, we may investigate such activity and take any action we reasonably consider necessary, including blocking accounts and retaining funds. We are not required to disclose details of any investigation, retained funds or any impact on your account. We will cooperate with any competent authority investigating such matters, and funds may be retained until we receive sufficient instruction to release or return them.
    11. If you suspect that another player is colluding, cheating or engaging in any form of fraud, you should report this in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in section 14.
    12. When using a mobile or tablet device, you may only participate in one poker game or tournament at a time.
    13. You agree that we may use, worldwide and on a royalty free basis and in perpetuity, the hands you play at the final table of major tournaments, including the cards dealt to you that were not visible to other players, as well as your avatar and username, for purposes including reproduction, distribution, public display, performance, editing, adaptation or creation of derivative works on the Sites and on our or our affiliates social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. You release us and any third parties acting on our behalf from any claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising from allegations of defamation or infringement of privacy, publicity or personality rights.
  4. Live Poker
    1. To participate in live poker video tables, you must have a video camera connected to your computer and select a table displaying the webcam icon in the poker lobby.
    2. Your participation at a live poker video table constitutes your consent for us to use your name, voice, likeness, image and country without any payment being due, and you grant us the right to do so.
    3. You acknowledge and agree that we may record and photograph the poker tables and broadcast live video streams from them on the Sites.
    4. Subject to your rights under applicable law, you further acknowledge that by joining a live poker table, other players at the table may also record, use and publish your image and audio, without our control.
    5. Players who select the sit out option during a live poker game may be removed from the video table to free the seat for players on the waiting list, where such a list exists.

      • You must not make statements or behave in a manner that is sexually explicit or grossly offensive, including expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred or profanity.
      • You must not make statements or behave in a manner that is abusive, harms our reputation, or harasses or insults other players at the table.
      • You must not make statements or behave in a way that seeks to exploit the game for advertising or promotion of any commercial or private interests.
    8. If you breach any of the above rules relating to conduct at live poker video tables, we reserve the right to remove you from the poker room or to close your account and terminate the User Agreement in accordance with section 15.
    9. We also reserve the right to withhold prizes in poker video table promotions from any participant whom we reasonably determine has breached these rules, including by deliberately covering or obstructing the camera.
    10. Notwithstanding the above, we are not responsible for images displayed via webcams or for comments made by members. We are not required to monitor such images or comments, nor to inform you of any action taken against another member following a complaint.
  5. Sports Betting
    1. You should carefully review the 888sport Sports Betting Rules.
    2. In addition to our right to restrict your account, including limiting the amount you may deposit, we reserve the right, on a case by case basis, to limit or refuse any bet, stake or wager placed by you or through your account on our sports betting products. Where maximum bet limits apply to your account, this may prevent the use of free bets received as part of a promotion on certain markets.
    3. Where you place a bet on a sport governed by a sports authority listed in Part 3 Schedule 6 of the Gambling Act 2005 or published on the Great Britain Gambling Commission website, in order for your bet to be accepted as valid, you must not be in breach of any rules relating to irregular or suspicious betting or misuse of information imposed by: (i) the relevant sports governing body; (ii) any other professional body of which you are a member; or (iii) your employer. If we reasonably suspect a breach of these requirements, we may void the affected bet.
    4. We, or an affiliate within the 888 corporate group, are members of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), a non profit organisation that monitors irregular betting activity and potential event manipulation. As part of this membership, we participate in an early warning system designed to identify such activity. Where a warning is received, we reserve the right, at our discretion, to: (i) suspend the offering of any event or group of events across any market; and (ii) delay or withhold settlement of bets on any event or group of events until the integrity of such events has been confirmed by the relevant sports federation via the IBIA.
      Further, where active event manipulation is confirmed by the IBIA in cooperation with relevant sports governing bodies, we may suspend bets placed on the affected events by any individual identified as having insider knowledge, or by any other individual who we reasonably believe to be connected with such activity.
    5. We reserve the right to withhold payments or void any bet relating to an event or match where we reasonably suspect or have evidence that: (i) the integrity of the event has been compromised; (ii) betting prices have been manipulated; or (iii) match fixing or event rigging has occurred. Such evidence may include, without limitation, the size, volume or pattern of bets placed with us or our affiliates within the 888 corporate group.
    6. If we reasonably believe that suspicious betting activity has taken place on your account, we may suspend the account pending completion of any relevant investigation.
