Changes to these Terms

Legal Requirements

The use of our Services may be illegal in certain countries including, for example, the USA. You are responsible for determining whether use of the Services is compliant with applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which you are located at the time of usage.

Limits

The minimum withdrawal is GHS 2 (two cedis).

The minimum stake per bet is GHS 0.01 (one pesewa). At times we might demand a minimum stake of GHS 0.10 (ten pesewas) instead.

The maximum payout per ticket is GHS 1,000,000 (one million cedis), including the stake and any bonuses. If you place multiple identical bets/tickets, this limit applies to their aggregated payout amount.

Different limits apply for Virtual Games and such limits can be requested within the respective game.

Account

To be able to use our Services you must first open an Account. Doing so, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and retain the legal capacity to enter into an agreement with the Company. Any Customer who is identified as having been using our Services prior to reaching the minimum legal age, will have all winnings forfeited, also retroactively, and his Account closed.

Each account is linked to a Ghanaian mobile phone number and each person may only open one Account. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Customer opened multiple Accounts in bad faith, e.g. to circumvent betting limits or for promotion abuse, we reserve the right to close such Accounts (even if they were opened using different identities) and cancel any bets, also retroactively.

It is your responsibility to choose a secure password and keep it secret as we shall not be liable for any damage caused by an unauthorised third party gaining access to your Account.

Should your Account become dormant, i.e. not be used to access our Services for a period of more than 12 months, we reserve the right to debit a monthly administration fee of up to GHS 20 (twenty cedis) as long as your Account has any funds remaining and after previously notifying you via SMS.

You can request the closure or suspension of your Account at any time by contacting our customer service. You can also request for your account to be re-opened at any later time which request will be decided upon on a case-by-case basis and depending on your reason stated at the time of the closure and the then current situation, e.g. in cases relating to a closure for reasons relating to responsible gaming.

Verification Procedures

From time to time we will verify the personal details you provided us with. As part of these checks we may also ask you to provide additional details or documentation, including but not limited to notarised copies of your identification documents and any other documents that can be used to verify your residential address and ownership of payment accounts you used.

Should we discover that a Customer provided us deliberately with false details, we may disable the Account and retain any monies deposited.

Payments

Generally payments can only be done via mobile money from/to the mobile money wallet registered under the same mobile phone number as your Account. At our own discretion we may however decide to accept deposits or process any of your withdrawal request through other means of payment, e.g. bank transfer or cheque. However, any deposits and withdrawals can only be done from/to payment accounts owned by yourself.

Any monies deposited need to be used for betting before they are withdrawn again. We reserve the right to deduct a processing fee of 8% from any unused deposit amounts that are requested for withdrawal.

Processing of withdrawals often happens instantly and we strive to process all withdrawal requests within two business days. While we are awaiting additional information or documentation from you, all your withdrawal requests will remain pending until the correspondence has been returned and approved by us.

Withdrawals might have to be split into multiple transactions over a number of days, based on payment provider limits.

Any payment or credit made to your Account as a result of an error shall be held in trust by you for our benefit and shall not be withdrawn from your Account. You shall return all amounts paid in error to us promptly upon our demand, also if they have been withdrawn in the meantime. We reserve the right to confiscate and recover all amounts paid to you in error.

Bet Placement

We strongly advise you to go through our Betting Rules before using our Services. The Betting Rules, apart from providing other information, describe the types of bets which can be placed. We reserve the right to amend the Betting Rules from time to time.

A bet is only placed once it is confirmed with a unique ticket number and cannot be changed or cancelled thereafter. We may decide to accept or refuse any bet slips submitted by you at our own discretion.

For combination and system bet slips the maximum payout shown in the bet slip prior to submission is an estimate and the actual payout can differ slightly due to rounding differences.

Bet Settlement

All bets are settled based on our Betting Rules as soon as the official results of an event are available. We reserve the right to withhold payment and to declare all bets on an event void if we have evidence that the integrity of such event has been called into question or match rigging has taken place. Evidence may be based on the size, volumes or pattern of bets placed with us across any or all of our betting channels.

There is a general limit on the net loss the Company might incur per calendar day. Should the amount we payout for bets on a single calendar day minus all stakes of such bets exceed GHS 2,000,000 (two-million cedis), we shall be entitled to make a pro rata reduction of winnings for all Customers who won more than GHS 2,000 (two-thousand cedis) on that day.

All payouts are mathematically rounded to the next full pesewa when credited to your Account.

Promotions

From time to time we might run promotions that are resulting in the award of free bets, bonus monies or other promotional offers to our Customers. All promotions are available at our discretion and we reserve the right to restrict the availability of a promotion to any person at any time. Each promotion will be governed by its own promotional terms which take precedence over these general terms.

If we become aware of a Customer who, in the course of participating in a promotion, has become able to guarantee profits with no or only minimal risk, and/or benefits from a promotion by participating through more than one Account, and/or displays irregular or unusual playing or betting patterns which we deem to be abusive, we may elect to do any one or more of the following: (i) close the involved Account(s); (ii) invalidate the bets which were in contravention of this term; and/or (iii) withhold any free bets, bonus monies or other offers we would usually award in the course of the promotion.

Errors

In case of any systems or communications errors (by way of example but not limited to: bugs, faulty codes, loopholes and back doors) we will not be liable to you as a result of any such errors and we reserve the right to correct all transactions and void all related bets or re-settle them at the correct price that should have been available at the time the bet was placed.

This also includes but is not limited to any bets placed at prices that are significantly dissimilar from those available in the general market, exceeding our payout limits, or containing a combination of outcomes that have a dependency.

Privacy

We comply with all applicable data protection and privacy laws of Ghana.

Communication and Marketing

We reserve the right to process your personal data for marketing purposes. By opening an Account, you consent to us contacting you through any and all means of communication (whether in written or verbal form and including, but not limited to email, telephone and SMS) in respect of matters relating to your account, including for marketing purposes. You can opt-out from any marketing communication by contacting us.

Additional Terms

Upon closure of your Account we will usually refund you any residual credit balance in the Account. If the Account has been closed due to an infringement pursuant to the Terms of Use or to a prohibited behaviour leading to collusion, fraud or whatsoever criminal activity, the residual credit balance may however be forfeited. The same procedure will be applied to open bets that result in payouts.
