Casino Terms & Conditions

[ksech]

I don't want to derail the other thread anymore than it has already been, so I thought we could dissect some casino T&Cs here. Maybe no one is interested (?), but I think since this issue has been brought to light, we should perhaps reread and re-interprete what the players are facing. I know, I wasn't really satisfied with some of the answers from xxxx xxxxx, I felt the rep was skirting pertinent questions.

So,not picking on xxxx xxxxxx, just they are in the limelight so to speak right now...

xxxx xxxxx Casino Terms and Conditions...

Players Representation and Warranties
1. The Player is at least 18 years of age or has reached the legal age of maturity in his/her jurisdiction, whichever is greater. Full-time Students who are enrolled in a College or University are not permitted to play in the Casino.

2. The xxxxxx operation of virtual casino gambling is directed only towards players, who by the laws of their home jurisdiction, are not prohibited from gambling on the Internet through the application of the software.

It is impossible for xxxxxx to determine the state of the law in every jurisdiction around the world on an ongoing basis.

22. By installing and using this software the player hereby agrees to have fully read and understood the above 'terms and conditions' and so agrees to be bound by them. In the event of any disputes, all decisions made by the casino will be final.

Bonus Terms and Conditions
1. All bonuses are unredeemable and so cannot be withdrawn as winnings. Players may withdraw winnings from wagers made using bonus chips, but the bonus chips themselves cannot be withdrawn and will be removed when any subsequent withdrawal is processed.

2. All Bonuses will be given only once per household, business address, IP address and/or per account, as per our terms of use. If a duplicate account is opened it will be closed and all bonuses and winnings will be considered void.

3. xxxxxx reserves the right to refuse or rescind bonus credits and offerings, or prevent future access to xxxxxx for any reason at its sole discretion.

4. Only one free bonus can be claimed on any account before the first deposit is completed. If an account is funded entirely with a free bonus, in addition to our other requirements, an approved deposit is necessary to validate the account before any withdrawals will be processed.

5. All bonuses carry a wagering requirement that is to be completed on a specific selection of games. Any wagers made on games that are excluded from the wagering requirement before the wagering requirement is completed will result in the bonus and any winnings being void. The player must be aware of and accept these terms and conditions before playing the bonus.

6. Bets placed on Baccarat, Craps, Roulette games and Sic Bo do not count towards the wagering requirements of any bonus unless otherwise stated.

7. Wagers are made from the player’s cash balance first and the bonus chips second.

8. Winnings derived from game features triggered while the bonus is active count as part of the original promotion

9. If a bonus has a timeframe and the conditions are not met within this timeframe, the bonus and any winnings from the bonus will be removed.

10. Only the original recipients of the promotions distributed by CWCUSD are permitted to claim the associated offers.

11. There is no maximum cashout restriction on our new player welcome offers.

12. The maximum cashout on all non-deposit bonuses is 5x the bonus amount and the timeframe is 30 days unless stated otherwise.

13. Any comp points accrued before the first approved deposit, or any winnings derived from them are subject to the maximum cashout restriction of the free bonus used.

14. Any winnings derived from a Slots Tournament where the buy-in was paid using a non-deposit bonus must be wagered fifty (50) times before a withdrawal is permitted.

14. Any winnings derived from a Slots Tournament where the buy-in was paid using a non-deposit bonus must be wagered fifty (50) times before a withdrawal is permitted.
16. If a player does not wish to receive bonuses then they can play with no restrictions by simply not redeeming any coupons. If a coupon is claimed in error please contact support by email, phone or live chat before depositing or playing so that your account can be adjusted.

17. Utilization of a coupon shall be deemed to represent acceptance of all terms and conditions associated with the use of promotional coupons stated above. Players are not required to use coupons when depositing and should not do so without a complete understanding of these terms and conditions.

Okay, I have highlighted the items I feel need better explaining.

1) This is already an issue with an ongoing thread.

B]1. The Player is at least 18 years of age or has reached the legal age of maturity in his/her jurisdiction, whichever is greater. Full-time Students who are enrolled in a College or University are not permitted to play in the Casino.[/B]

Sorry, but unless rewritten, this is NOT stating that ONLY 18 year old, full-time students are emempt from playing in the casino. MY interpretation is you MUST be a minimum of 18 years old to play in the casino. Full-time students (no age restriction on this?) cannot play in the casino, does this INCLUDE persons who have gone back to school to change careers, further a career, etc?

2)7. The Player is fully aware of the fact that there is the risk of losing money through the use of this software. The Player hereby accepts that CWCUSD reserves its right to limit and/or refuse the Player's wagers. In the event of any dispute regarding a wager or winnings, the decision of CWCUSD shall be final and binding.
At which point in time does the casino enforce this? And what are some of the determining points for the casino to come to this conclusion?

3)12. The player is required to provide their complete, current and full personal details, including a phone number where they can be contacted. Incomplete, inaccurate or fraudulent information may result in the player’s account being closed and any bonuses and winnings being removed.
What does the casino consider current and full personal details?

4)13. xxxxxx reserves the right to withhold any pay out or winning amount until the identity of the winning person is verified to our satisfaction. For this purpose, we further reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to require that the Player provides us with a notarized ID or any equivalent certified ID according to the applicable laws of your jurisdiction.
What does the casino consider worthy of a notarized ID?

5)19. Players are permitted only one pending game at any one time. In cases where players have multiple pending games any balance in the account may be forfeited.
Can you please explain this more clearly? What is considered a pending game?

6)Under Bonus Terms and Conditions...
8. Winnings derived from game features triggered while the bonus is active count as part of the original promotion
So, does this mean any money won from a free spin round or bonus round must still meet the criteria (WR) from the promo used? Say I won $15 in a free spin feature, would this $15 now have to meet a WR?

7)14. Any winnings derived from a Slots Tournament where the buy-in was paid using a non-deposit bonus must be wagered fifty (50) times before a withdrawal is permitted.
I thought you couldn't use ND bonuses to play in tournaments?



Any comments anyone?

I've highlighted the aspects I deemed important.
(Rmoved name and associations before I got my hand slapped again)

Section 8.3 and 8.4 are a little confusing to me. (Is this allowing a single player to transfer funds from 1 casino to another, as you can not have multiple accounts...)
8.3 Funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits may only be transferred between casino accounts registered to the same player in the same currency. Transfers to third parties are not permitted under any circumstances.
8.4 Any large or unusual requests to transfer funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits between the accounts of a single player are subject to the review and approval of casino management.

I've highlighted the aspects I deemed important.
(Rmoved name and associations before I got my hand slapped again)

Section 8.3 and 8.4 are a little confusing to me. (Is this allowing a single player to transfer funds from 1 casino to another, as you can not have multiple accounts...)
8.3 Funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits may only be transferred between casino accounts registered to the same player in the same currency. Transfers to third parties are not permitted under any circumstances.
8.4 Any large or unusual requests to transfer funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits between the accounts of a single player are subject to the review and approval of casino management.

And you wonder why people don't want to read these things?

[ksech]

I know, I feel like I'm bugged eyed now. But it seems players are getting caught up in loopholes in T&Cs lately. I know, when I was playing I never went back to read the T&Cs after I signed up.

[De Beuker]

I won't talk until my lawyer has arrived.

English is not my first language, which makes reading and especially understanding stuff like this almost a mission impossible.

Google translate is not very reliable.

Derail:
Got a spam mail a while ago, it said: WORDT KONINGKLIJK GESPOELD!
It took a while before the coin dropped and I realised they used google translate and the original text must have been GET ROYAL FLUSHED.

If I translate "WORDT KONINKLIJK GESPOELD" back to English you get something like:
GET YOUR ROYAL ENEMA NOW!

You see? Not very reliable.. but it was a good laugh.

Sorry for the derail..

I admit that I usually dont read all these general T&C's, too much of a headache.
When playing at a new casino I check through them to see if there's anything about banned countries, and I read the bonus T&C's, as these are mostly put in a bit more understandable language, not all this lawyertalk.

[chayton]

GET YOUR ROYAL ENEMA NOW!

That's what I've been getting from ALL the casinos lately!

What a mess (from the US Microgaming clone). They have a term regarding "new registrants" which is completely irrelevant under the circumstances. The US clones are ONLY for existing "legacy" players, and since they ONLY offer services to the US, NO-ONE can register as a new player, not even from OUTSIDE the US (No-one would WANT to either, when they can have the FULL MGS experience, rather than a "crippled" clone).

This is another reason why terms are unnecessarily complicated. Casinos seem to make use of "cut & paste" from other casinos' terms and conditions, rather than write their own that are SPECIFIC to what they are offering. This approach sometimes leads to contradictions between "cut & paste" terms and those later added to cover specific circumstances.

The terms are also very open, enabling the casino to do pretty much what it wants to, yet be able to quote a term to justify the action.

If the aim is for players to read AND UNDERSTAND the terms, many casinos have failed, but if the aim is to enable them to void bets and winnings, they have SUCCEEDED in giving themselves almost unlimited powers to do so within the broader interpretations of the terms.

Casinos often justify the nastier terms by claiming "we never actually APPLY this term in the vast majority of cases", but this is of no comfort to those players who find they are a member of this "exclusive minority" where the "nasty" term IS applied.

Rather than develop ever more complex terms, they should develop the SOFTWARE so that players CANNOT stray from those terms that relate to "playing style", and meeting wagering requirements before making withdrawals. The terms could be shrunk to only include items that cannot be controlled through the software, such as using stolen credit cards in a manner that bypasses security checks (such as through a third party like Click2Pay, where the casino cannot check the validity of the card itself).

Some new features (such as being able to transfer funds from one casino account to another IN THE GROUP) have lead to even MORE terms and conditions. The benefit is mainly for the CASINO, because they save on processing fees that are incurred where players withdraw from one account in order to deposit and play in another. Despite this, players are offered WORSE terms on such transfers than they are when they withdraw and make a fresh deposit.

Some of these terms are vague in favour of the PLAYER. Take the "no bots" term. This specifies that the software must be "AI" (Artificial Intelligence), which is beyind the scope of many "bots". This would ALLOW a bot that simply repeated a pre-programmed sequence. The definition of "AI" also EXCLUDES basic decision making software, where the same initial conditions ALWAYS leads to the same response. "AI" software can ADAPT, and has the capacity to learn from it's mistakes, and adapt it's decisions for future ocurrances of the same initial conditions. This term would NOT "ban bots", but only a small minority of bots, most of which are theoretical and do NOT exist in the field of online gambling (yet) because they are too specialised and expensive for "retail" users. This WILL probably change in the future, and true AI may soon be available to home users, and be able to play casinos, and especially POKER, to advantage. Currently, it is the POKER bot that does the damage, even though it lacks true "AI". Poker bots do nothing more than play live poker using mathematical "perfect strategy". They cannot be bluffed, and cannot bluff. Poker rooms hate them because their use drives away the human players, who CANNOT compete from a mathematical standpoint. Bots can also be programmed to collude, which is where they can do REAL damage to the integrity of poker.

In a casino context, there can be no advantage gained by using a bot other than to play faster, and for longer. The ONLY time a bot helps in a casino is where a +EV promotional bonus has been given, and the bots are then used to play multiple instances of such bonuses quickly and efficiently, resulting in a near guarantee of a profit for the user.


The other terms are pretty standard, and in many cases the casino is BLUFFING. Do you REALLY believe that a US facing MGS clone is going to

6.3.4 furnish information about you to law enforcement agencies (if the reason for such termination, de-registration, exclusion or suspension was fraud or some other form of illegal misconduct)

A US facing casino goes to great lengths to PREVENT law enforcement agencies from investigating their players for anything, since this will lead them to discover how the casino is able to move money under the noses of the US banks. When the US authorities DO discover it's being done, they have seized MILLIONS of dollars from the casinos, far more damage than any one player could ever do.

The worst they will do is to record the details of such a player on an industry fraud blacklist, which will alert other casinos that the player cannot be trusted to "play fair".


It is a good job for casinos that many player do NOT read all the terms, because if they did, many would be scared off by them from EVER playing online.

If players could be encouraged to read the terms first, and ask questions when they are uncertain about something, the casinos would be FORCED to make changes to make them clearer and more relevant in order to keep players signing up, and to keep existing players playing.

I've highlighted the aspects I deemed important.
(Rmoved name and associations before I got my hand slapped again)

Section 8.3 and 8.4 are a little confusing to me. (Is this allowing a single player to transfer funds from 1 casino to another, as you can not have multiple accounts...)
8.3 Funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits may only be transferred between casino accounts registered to the same player in the same currency. Transfers to third parties are not permitted under any circumstances.
8.4 Any large or unusual requests to transfer funds, loyalty points, and/or casino credits between the accounts of a single player are subject to the review and approval of casino management.

OMG! Any chance we can have a name attached to this particular casino?

This is nearly as frightening as the FEMA thread!

I don't bother reading all the mind numbing mumbo jumbo terms and conditions that a casino can change at whim. Even glancing at the above makes my head hurt.

Give me only the terms and conditions for the bonus and for the most part it's good to go. Never had any issues but then I don't go for complicated things.
