You shall inform us immediately if you suspect that your account is being misused by a third party and/or any third party has access to your account username or password so that we may investigate such matter, and you will cooperate with us, as we may request, in the course of such investigation.

You are responsible for the security of your username and password on your own PC or internet access location. If this username password combination is “hacked” from your computer, due to any viruses or malware that is present on the computer that you access your account with, this is your responsibility. You should report any possible hacking attempts or security breaches from your computer terminal immediately to the Company.

You have verified and determined that your use of the Services does not violate any laws or regulations of any jurisdiction that applies to you.

You fully understand the methods, rules and procedures of the Services and Internet gambling in general. You understand that it is your responsibility to ensure the details of bets and games are correct. You will not commit any acts or display any conduct that damages the reputation of the Company.

You are fully aware that there is a risk of losing money when gambling by means of the Services and you are fully responsible for any such loss. You agree that your use of the Services is at your sole option, discretion and risk. In relation to your gambling losses you shall have no claims whatsoever against the Company or any company within the 888 group of companies or any White Label Brand or their respective directors, officers or employees.

You acknowledge that the Software includes features provided by third parties which may be installed on your device as part of the Software and which may be automatically updated from time to time. Amongst others, such features may access your hand history which is stored on your own device, for the purpose of providing you with certain promotions and notifications.

You agree that we may use your username, profile picture and the amounts won as part of such in-game functionality without seeking further consent.

You are solely responsible for any telecommunications networks and Internet access services and other consents and permissions required in connection with your use of the Software and the Services.

You hereby expressly waive any future claims against the Company in such regard.

You acknowledge that certain games and tables which are included in the Service are offered to you on a "shared basis", which enables users of the Service via the In House Brands, White Label Brands as well as users of third party platforms to play with one another. In such cases, you accept that you may play with or against other users, who may have different configurations to your own, this includes but is not limited to, different currencies and bet limits.

A ‘progressive jackpot’ is a jackpot which increases in size as a result of contributions from monies staked by players who may be based in various countries. We may decommission a progressive jackpot at any time (including before the jackpot is won in certain circumstances). In the event that we decommission a jackpot across all of our brands before it is won and the game concerned is also offered to players who play in the UK, we will seek to redistribute contributions and in doing so we may (amongst other things): (i) use any outstanding contributions (from both UK and non-UK players) to fund a separate progressive jackpot which UK players are eligible to win; (ii) use any outstanding contributions from UK players to fund a separate progressive jackpot which only UK players are eligible to win; or (iii) refund UK players the amount of their outstanding contributions.

You acknowledge that “live” TV events and other broadcasts may be delayed, resulting in other players possessing more up to date information in relation to the broadcasted events.

You shall not engage in any screen scraping, web scraping or otherwise collecting or extracting (manually or via automated processes) third party data from the Sites for any purpose.

7. Prohibited Uses of the Sites and Services

Illegal Funds and Unlawful Activities: You declare that the source of funds used by you for gambling on the Sites is not illegal and that you will not use the Services in any way as a money transfer system. You will not use the Services for any unlawful or fraudulent activity or prohibited transaction (including money laundering) under the laws of any jurisdiction that applies to you (in particular, the laws of Malta). If the Company has a reasonable suspicion that you may be engaging in or have engaged in fraudulent, unlawful or improper activity, including, without limitation, money laundering activities, or conduct otherwise in violation of the User Agreement, your access to the Services may be terminated immediately and/or your account blocked. If your account is terminated or blocked in such circumstances, the Company is under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account. In addition to terminating your access to the Services and/or blocking your account, the Company reserves the right to prevent you from accessing any of the Company's other websites or servers, or accessing any other services offered by the Company.

Circumvention: We have developed and employ sophisticated proprietary technology intended to seek out and identify users making fraudulent or unlawful use of the Services or Software. You shall not break into, access or attempt to break into or access or otherwise circumvent the Company's security measures.

Intentional Disconnection: You are not allowed to intentionally disconnect from a game while playing on the Sites. We have developed and employ elaborate methods which enable us to seek out and accurately identify users who carry out an intentional disconnection during a game.

Monies held in your account shall not attract any interest.

Please note that we do not accept any cash deposits nor do we provide any cash withdrawals.

If you do not log in to your account for a consecutive period of 365 days, your account will be considered a "dormant account". We will notify you 30 days before your account becomes a “dormant account” and inform you of any actions that will be taken by us in respect of the dormant account via the most current contact details you provided to us. Any positive cashable balance in a dormant account may be removed by us. However, you can at any time contact us to request access to any positive balance in your account before the account became a dormant account. Following your request and subject to verifying your identity, we will promptly consider any such request and we will restore access to your account and such positive balance where we are reasonably able to do so, or if we are not reasonably able to restore access to your account, we will refund the positive balance directly to you (subject to the terms of the Withdrawal Policy).

The Company may, at any time, set off any positive balances in your account against any amount owed by you to us. By way of example, in the event that following the settlement of a bet in your account in relation to your use of our sports betting services a resettlement is required, the Company shall be entitled to deduct from your account any required amount of money.

We may charge you a non-refundable fee in relation to any bet or deposit you make and/or win you receive. You expressly agree to pay such a fee, if charged, and acknowledge that this fee is imposed in order to offset the impact of taxes or duties including but not limited to VAT (or its equivalent in your location) or any gaming duty or betting duty in connection with your gaming or betting activity which may be payable to your government in your location. You agree that we may identify your location for purpose of imposing such fees utilizing such means as we determine in our sole discretion, including internet protocol (IP) address, our records shall solely determine your location and you shall not be entitled to a refund of any fee charged to you in relation to such. Any fee in relation to your bets or deposits and/or wins will be detailed in the cashier and updated from time to time. For more information concerning the fees that may apply to your bets, deposits and/or wins please see here. You acknowledge that we may update the fees in relation to bets, deposits and/or wins from time to time and any modified version will take effect 14 days after its publication on the applicable Internet site or earlier if required by any applicable law, regulation or directive and your continued use of the Services or the Software after the aforementioned period will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of the changes.

The Company may from time to time implement a rounding policy in relation to monies deposited by or cashed-out to members where currency conversion is involved. The effect of this policy shall be that deposit or cash-out amounts in currencies other than US Dollars might be rounded up or down on conversion to or from US Dollars. By way of example only, if according to the exchange rate a 10 EUR deposit is converted by the Company into 13.61 USD then your account will be credited with 14.00 USD. Details of the rounding policy in effect from time to time will be available to you at the point that any monies are converted.

As well as possessing the right to restrict your account including without limitation, restricting the amount you may deposit into the account, we reserve the right to limit or refuse any bet, stake or other wager made by you or through your account.

Where the Software uses a third party application interface, not all the information relating to your past gambling activities will be displayed online.

You agree that you will not transfer funds from your account held with us to another account held with us by another person.

The Company reserves the right to refuse to open an account or accept your registration.

You must not sell or transfer your account with the Site to any other person nor acquire any account with the Site from any other player.

9. Payment Transactions and Payment Fraud

Each user of the Service is fully responsible for paying all monies owed to the Company. You agree that you will not make or attempt to make any charge-backs, and/or deny or reverse any payment that you have made and you hereby agree that you will reimburse the Company for any charge-backs, denial or reversal of payments you make and any loss suffered by the Company as a consequence thereof. The Company may, at its sole discretion, cease to provide the Services or withhold payment to certain users or to users paying with certain credit cards.

Virtual Digital Services Limited will process your payments and handle your funds and will therefore appear on your credit card statements (or on other payment statements as applicable). Subject to regulatory requirements, the Company may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice, use any other company within the same corporate group to provide such services.

We reserve the right to run credit checks on all users with third party credit agencies, on the basis of the information provided to us on registration.

We reserve the right to use third party electronic payment processors and/or financial institutions to process payments made by and to you in connection with your use of the Services. To the extent that they do not conflict with the terms of the User Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of such third party electronic payment processors and/or financial institutions.

In the case we have reasonable suspicion that a fraudulent payment is being made or received, including use of stolen credit cards, or any other fraudulent activity (including any charge-back or other reversal of a payment), we reserve the right to block or terminate a user's account, reverse any pay-out made and recover any winnings. We shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or otherwise unlawful activity, and may employ collection services to recover payments. However, under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for any unauthorized use of credit cards, irrespective of whether or not the credit cards were reported stolen.

Our expectation is that our members will deposit in order to actively play with their own funds. On accounts where this does not seem to be the case, we reserve the right to enforce a wagering amount on your deposited funds, before allowing any withdrawal from said account. This wagering amount will be a multiplication of the total deposited funds, which we will specify depending on the case (for example 1 x the deposited amount). We reserve the right to require this wagering to be performed in specific games, and to exclude certain low risk bets or game types, at our discretion.

The ways in which you can deposit into your account for the Sites as well as the relevant deposit limits (with such deposit limits being subject to the fourth bullet point of Section 4 and the Responsible Gaming Policy) can be found here.

We reserve the right to charge you fees for handling your deposits and withdrawals to and from your account as may be detailed in the "Cashier" from time to time.

We may block or close your account if we have reasonable grounds to believe you have used or attempted to use someone else’s payment method and that person has entered into a self-exclusion agreement with us.

10. Bonuses

All promotions, bonuses or special offers are subject to promotion-specific terms and conditions and any complimentary bonus credited to your account must be used in adherence with such terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the modification provisions in Section 2, we reserve the right to withdraw or amend any promotion, bonus or special offer at any time including any terms and conditions thereof.

In the event that the Company has reasonable suspicion that a user of the Service is abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus, offer or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a gambling policy adopted by the Company, then the Company may, at its sole discretion, deny, withhold or withdraw from any user any bonus, offer or promotion, or rescind any policy with respect to that user, either temporarily or permanently, or terminate that user's access to the Services and/or block that user's account.

All users of the Services shall be entitled only to one welcome bonus. Members who make their first deposit with the Company or any of its white label partners, and who have or previously had an account with any of the Sites owned or operated by the Company, including both In-House Brands and White Label Brands, shall not be entitled to an additional welcome bonus, unless the Company decides otherwise at its absolute discretion.

Your account is made up of both Available Funds (those that can be used in any applicable game or withdrawn subject to the Withdrawal Policy and which may also be referred to on the Sites as "Cash Balance" or "Deposit Balance") and Restricted Funds (the total of bonus funds that have not yet met the wagering requirement and any winnings associated with such bonus funds and which may also be referred to on the Sites as "Bonus Balance").
Please note that your deposit may not reach your account immediately, but may take a number of days until such deposit is processed by your payment processor and reaches your account. Until such time, such deposit shall not be considered as Available Funds.

If you have both Available Funds and Restricted Funds in your account, the next wager you make will use Available Funds first. Restricted Funds will only be used once your Available Funds balance is zero. The foregoing will not apply to your use of free spins, FreePlay, jackpot vouchers, Tournament Tickets, Free Bet Tokens and Profit Boost Tokens, which you can use at any time.

Subject to the bullet point below, if you place a wager on casino games using Restricted Funds only and win you will receive, depending on your chosen account currency, up to a maximum of $500/€500/£500 in winnings. If your winnings exceed $500/€500/£500 you will only receive $500/€500/£500. Such limitation on your winnings shall not apply to verified progressive jackpot winnings derived from Restricted Funds.

From and inclusive of June 14th, 2021: If you have registered with 888poker and you have not successfully made a real money deposit into your account, in the event that you place a wager on casino games using Restricted Funds and win you will receive, depending on your chosen account currency, up to a maximum of $100/€100/£100 in winnings. If your winnings exceed $100/€100/£100 you will only receive $100/€100/£100. Such limitation on your winnings shall not apply to verified progressive jackpot winnings derived from Restricted Funds.
In addition, if you have registered with 888poker, until you successfully make a real money deposit into your account, the maximum amount that will be transferred to your Available Funds balance will be $100/€100/£100, subject to you meeting the relevant wagering requirements.

The jackpot prizes will not increase as a result of wagers made with Restricted funds, free spins, FreePlay and jackpot vouchers. Only wagers with Available funds shall increase the jackpot prizes.

In the event that the Company has reasonable suspicion that you have been taking unfair advantage of the Company's welcome bonuses or have executed any other act in bad faith in relation to a bonus promotion offered on any of the Sites owned and/or operated by the Company, the Company shall have the right to block or terminate your accounts with the Company and in such circumstances, the Company shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.

If we have reasonable suspicion that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically – for example employing specific wagering techniques or wagering as a group, the Company shall have the right to block or terminate all accounts and in such circumstances, the Company shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.

You may request the removal of a bonus from your account, but please be aware that this removal may include any winnings gained from such bonus.

Please be advised that the 'confirm your ID' bonus is issued at the Company's discretion and therefore may not be available for all members who verify their identity with us. Notwithstanding the modification provisions in Section 2, we reserve the right to remove this bonus offer at any time. Certain criteria will be taken into consideration when determining which members will receive the verification bonus, such as registration country, deposit amount, deposit payment type, and other details of the account.

a percentage of the "buy-in" fee for tournaments. For Blast Tournaments, please see here.

On a mobile or tablet device, you will only be able to play one poker game or tournament at a time.

Collusion: Collusion occurs when two or more players attempt to gain an unfair advantage which includes but is not limited to sharing knowledge of their cards or other information, and unless stated otherwise by the Company, by agreeing to split a prize-pool. Any player who colludes or attempts to collude with any other player while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of the Company, their account may be terminated immediately and the Company shall be entitled to retain all monies in such player's account. We have developed and employ sophisticated proprietary technology intended to seek out and identify players acting in collusion. If the Company is informed about suspected collusive behavior, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players' access to the Service and/or block their accounts and withhold all available funds from within the accounts. No player shall have the right to require the Company to take any other steps against players suspected of collusion, cheating or any other form of fraud.
If you suspect that any player is colluding with another or cheating, you can contact us via email at support@888poker.com or via the support email address relevant to a White Label Brand.
Chip-Dumping: Chip-dumping occurs when any player deliberately loses a hand in order to deliberately transfer his chips to another player. Any player who is involved in an act of chip-dumping or attempted chip-dumping while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of the Company and such player's account may be terminated immediately. If the Company is informed about suspected Chip-Dumping, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players' access to the Service and/or block their accounts and all monies in such player's account. In such circumstances the Company will be under no obligation to refund to the relevant player any funds that may be in the account at such time.
If we reasonably suspect that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically in order to gain an advantage over another player or to commit any act in bad faith in relation to the other players or the Company – for example employing specific techniques to disadvantage other players or playing as a group, the Company shall have the right to block or terminate all such accounts and in such circumstances, the Company shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.
Software Aids: Please note that in relation to any peer-to-peer games or any other games, you may not use any tools or software other than: (i) tools that provide you with basic game statistics and information that could be useful to beginners, such as hand strength and pot odds indication, (ii) tools which provide you with basic-level advice about the game such as opening hand charts, (iii) tracking software that calculates and displays in-game statistics which are intended to help you organise the information that he already has access to as a player at that specific table, and (iv) tools that improve your experience without influencing the game itself or providing any advice (for example enhanced display, keyboard shortcuts and improved visibility), (collectively "Permitted Aids"). For the avoidance of doubt, section (iv) shall not include any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table.
You may not use any software program, robot or external aid, which is endowed with artificial intelligence or which is not included in the Permitted Aids list (as set out above) (regardless of whether you are actually using the Software). Examples of such prohibited tools, software and external aids are: (i) tools and services that allow for any type of collusion between players, such as showing cards, (ii) tools that assist players to select games in accordance with player identity, (iii) tools or websites that reveal and share information about other players against their will, such as game statistics and overall earnings, (iv) any type of tool that performs any action on behalf of a player at the table, (v) any tool or program that collects information about other players at the tables in the player’s absence, (vi) any tool or program that provides game advice in real time based on the actions of the other players at the table; or (vii) any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table (collectively “Software Aids”). In the event that we deem that any Software Aid has been used, we reserve the right to take any action we see fit, including immediately blocking access to the Services to the offending user, terminating such user's account and seizing all monies held in such account.
Abuse of the "Sit Out" Feature: The “Sit Out” feature is only intended for taking short breaks between extended periods of play. It is not intended for use while no play is taking place at the table, or for waiting on players to join or leave the table. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to take action against players "sitting out" for excessive periods of time. Players who repeatedly abuse the "Sit Out" feature may be restricted from participating in our poker games either temporarily or indefinitely.
Fraudulent Behaviour: In case of any investigation relating to suspected fraudulent behaviour with regard to poker play involving your account and any other players, we will investigate any such activity, and take any action we reasonably believe is necessary (including blocking said accounts and retaining any funds therein). We are under no obligation to provide details of the investigation and/or funds retained, or whether this has affected your account in any way. We will cooperate with any competent authority investigating such an incident, and funds will be retained by us, until we have received sufficient instructions from the competent authority to either unblock said accounts, or release any portion of the retained funds back to the accounts affected.
Payment Disputes: Each user of the Service is fully responsible for paying any and all monies owed by it to other users of the Service and/or the Company. Any claim which a user of the Service may have for payment of winnings to it in respect of losing bets placed by another user of the Service are against that other user and not the Company. The Company is in no way responsible to pay you if any user of the Service fails to pay his debts for whatever reason, or for taking any action whatsoever against such users.

Live Poker

In order to play at the live poker video tables, you will need to have a video camera attached to your computer and click on any table with the webcam icon in the poker lobby.
Players who sit out in a live poker game will be removed from the video table in order to free up the seat for other players on the waiting list (if such waiting list is not empty).
We reserve the right to limit the number of players "viewing" the live poker video tables and change such number from time to time at our sole discretion.
Your use of the live poker video tables is subject to the following rules:

You shall not make any statements or otherwise behave in a manner that is sexually explicit or grossly offensive, including any expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred or profanity around the table.
You shall not make any statements or otherwise behave in a manner that is abusive, defamatory or harassing or insulting to other players at the table.

Nevertheless, the Company shall not be responsible for any images posted on the webcams or for comments by our members thereon, and we will not be held liable for any perceived insult or injury. The Company is not required to monitor such images and comments, or to inform you of any actions taken against a member once a complaint has been made.

Sports Betting

Please carefully read the "888sport Sports Betting Rules".

The Company or its affiliate within the 888 corporate group, as applicable, is a member of the International Betting Integrity Association ("IBIA"), a non-profit making organisation that monitors irregular betting patterns and possible instances of event manipulation. As part of that membership, the Company or its affiliate, as applicable, is a full participant in its early warning system which is geared towards identifying any such betting behaviour.
In the event of a warning being received by the Company, the Company holds the right, in its absolute discretion, to:
(i) suspend the offering of any event or series of events in any of its markets; and
(ii) delay and/or withhold payment on any event or series of events in any of its markets, until the integrity of such event or series of events has been confirmed by the relevant sports federation via IBIA.
Further, in the case of active event manipulation being confirmed as having taken place on any event or series of events by IBIA, acting in conjunction with the appropriate sports governing bodies, the Company holds the right, in its absolute discretion, to suspend any bets placed on such events, either by any individual identified by IBIA as having possessed insider betting knowledge or information or by any other individual who in the reasonable opinion of the Company is connected to, acting in conjunction with or in any way involved with such individual.
The Company reserves the right to withhold payments or void any bet(s) with respect to an event or match, if we have reasonable suspicion or evidence that the following has occurred: (i) the integrity of the event has been questioned; (ii) the betting prices have been manipulated; or (iii) match or event rigging has taken place. Such evidence may include but not be limited to size, volume, or pattern of bets placed with the Company or its affiliates within the 888 corporate group on any Site operated by the Company or any of its affiliates.
If we reasonably believe that any suspicious betting or wagering activity has occurred on your account, such account may be suspended by the Company until any relevant investigation is completed.

Bonuses

If we reasonably suspect that a member is abusing any of our deposit related bonuses in any way, we may choose to terminate the account, and any related accounts across our Services, and withhold any funds from such accounts. A suspicion of abuse may be based on the repeated patterns of deposit/cashout/redeposit purely intended to gain the deposit related bonus.
If we reasonably suspect that the member is abusing our free sites and free games offers, we may choose to terminate the account, and any related accounts across our Services, and withhold any funds from such accounts. If we reasonably suspect that the member is abusing the spirit of the free games sites – for example, by playing repeatedly only with free games, or by purchasing all the tickets for a free game, we may choose to close the account, and any related accounts across our Services, and withhold any funds from such accounts.
If we have reason to suspect that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically – for example employing specific wagering techniques or wagering as a group, the Company shall have the right to block or terminate all accounts and in such circumstances, the Company shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.
