Our right to make changes
1. Changes to our Terms. We may need to make changes to our Terms:
  1. where these changes are more significant and may affect how you deal with us then we will notify you in advance of bringing these changes into effect and bring these changes to your attention. Reacceptance of these terms will be required on your next login.
  2. where these changes are minor in nature such as:
    1. to correct a typographical error or broken link;
    2. to reflect minor changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
    3. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements
    then we will simply update the relevant section and you will not be contacted. Continued use of our service will be deemed to be acceptance of these changes.

3. Changes to our content, products and services. Please note that we may add to, remove from and modify, correct or suspend the content, products and services that we offer from time to time without notice.

4. Changes to the rules, payouts and outcome probabilities of our virtual events and games. We will only change these when the affected virtual event or game is not available for gambling and will bring any such changes to your attention, so please look out for notices that say, for example, ‘rules changed’, ‘new odds’ or ‘different payouts’. This does not apply where the specified changes occur in accordance with the game or event rules, for example:
  1. In our virtual events, such as racing, where the odds differ from event to event depending on the virtual runners
  2. In our virtual games, such as bingo, where the odds of winning are dependent on the number of entrants
  3. In our games with progressive jackpots, where the amount that can be won changes over time
  4. In our games with bonus rounds where different rules apply to the bonus rounds.
Our responsibility for loss and damage suffered by you
1. We are responsible for loss and damage that you suffer where it is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious, to either party that it will happen.
2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for: i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; and ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
3. We are not liable for business losses. We only allow you to use our content, products and services on a personal, non-commercial basis. Therefore, we will have no liability to you for any loss of business profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity or any indirect loss you may have suffered.
4. We are not responsible for delays which are outside of our control. An example of this would be where your internet connection is slow or intermittent.
5. We are responsible for the content, products and services that we provide to you, even where it is supplied to us by someone else. If you have any complaint or issue with any of our content, products and services, please contact us and follow our Complaints Procedure.
Placing bets with us and playing our games
1. Your account. You are responsible for the use of your account and agree that you are acting solely for your own personal use.
2. Your funds. The funds you place in your account must be your own and not those of any other person or from a business (other than a third-party payment provider that we accept). Where funds are from a joint bank account, on which you are named, these funds will be deemed to be your funds.
3. Placing bets. We will not allow you to place a bet or play a game unless you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the bet or stake.
4. You must not use someone else’s betslip or software to place your bets or play our games. All bets must be placed using our betslips and all games must be played via the software we provide. Any attempt to place bets or play our games using any other method (including ‘bots’) will be a breach of our Terms and as such will not be valid.
5. You are not able to change your bet or game play after it has been accepted by us. Please check that the bets you are placing, the amounts you are staking and the options you choose on our games are correct before confirming them.
6. You are confirming the following when you place a bet or play a game with us:
  1. You are over 18 years old.
  2. You do not know the outcome of your bet before you place it.
  3. You have not been involved in any acts (or omissions) which may affect the outcome of your bet or game play.
  4. You are not breaching any rules issued by the sports regulatory authorities or governing body of the sport you are betting on.
  5. You are not prohibited from placing the bet or playing the game by any term in your contract of employment or other professional contract.
  If we discover that you are under 18 when you opened your account, your account will be closed and any deposits you have made will be returned to you.
  
  Where any other part of your confirmation is found to be untrue, we are under no obligation to return any staked deposits or winnings on the account. We may also be required to disclose information about you to others: such as our regulators, gaming and sporting bodies, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies or any other body that deals with the investigation of such alleged offences.
7. What results do we use when settling our bets? It is important to us that we use reliable sources when settling the bets we offer. We will often check a number of different sources. If these sources differ, there may be a slight delay while we seek confirmation of the result. Where we use a specific source, we will state this in the relevant Rules.
How we place limits on what you can win
1. We place various limits on what you can win from the gambling products and services that we make available to you. We publish these in the Rules and Limits for the particular event, promotion or game.
2. We limit the amount you can bet and stake on particular events, promotions and games. Where we do this, we will make it clear in the Rules and Limits for the event, promotion or game, for example,
  1. we will let you know if there are ‘table limits’ on such things as roulette and blackjack.
  2. we will limit the amount you can stake on a particular casino game each spin.
  3. We reserve the right, without any requirement to give reasons, to exclude any customer from the services generally or from receiving selected promotions (e.g., guaranteed best price; bonuses; free bets; enhanced prices; and money-back specials) and any other promotions and offers introduced by us from time to time
3. We limit certain combinations of bets and will set these out in the relevant betting Rules and Limits which can be found in our terms hub.
Time Critical Events
1. Some of the products and services that we make available to you will have ‘time critical’ elements. This means that:
  1. you will only have a certain time frame in which to take action, or
  2. the timing of your action will affect whether you are the quickest to answer a question or win a prize.
  Some examples of this include:
  1. the availability of a bonus or promotion that we may offer to you.
  2. the value of any CashOut that we may offer to you.
  3. the availability of a particular bet (especially where the event is ‘in-play’ or ‘in-running’).
  4. who the ‘chat moderator’ in a shared bingo room ‘hears’ first in our chat games.
2. What happens if the price/odds change before we accept your bet? Where this happens, the price and return information will change on your betslip and you will have the opportunity to accept the new price/odds and submit the bet or decide not to place the bet.
  
  If you would like to automatically accept such price/odds changes you can set a preference in your account to only accept odds if they are better.
  
  Please note: We will shortly be adding an option to allow you to set a preference to accept all price/odds changes and not just those which are better. When this option becomes available, if you set your preferences to accept all changes then you are agreeing to accept the changes whether they are in your favour or not. This preference will work for all sports bets added to your betslip (including any ‘in-play’ bets) but does not work on any Lotto, Totepool or Virtual bets we may offer.
3. When you are placing ‘in-play’ or ‘in-running’ bets with us, please be aware of the following:
  1. Certain 'live' feeds, whether they are on TV, radio or the internet, are subject to delays and as such you may be watching an event slightly behind or slightly ahead of other users. This includes the live streaming products and services we provide.
  2. A 'delay' is placed on all our ‘in-play’ and ‘in-running’ bets, the length of which varies depending on the sport. If a price changes during the delay between clicking 'bet' and the bet actually being placed, you will be given the option of placing the bet at the new price or not placing the bet at all. Please note that this option will be affected by your ‘Auto Accept Price Changes’ preference which is explained further in paragraph 8.2 above.
  3. Prices on all selections change regularly to reflect what is happening in the event.
  4. Any live scores, scoreboards or representative match-play displayed by us during a bet ‘in-play’ event are for guidance purposes only and may contain errors. You should not rely on these when making your bet selection or any decisions to CashOut.
Your Account
1. What information do you need to provide when opening and maintaining an account with us? When you apply to open an account with us, we will ask you to provide certain information (including personal information about yourself) so that we can confirm who you are and that you are eligible to use our products and services (for example, that you are over 18 years of age). These details also allow us to make sure that we can contact you in connection with your account. Please see our Age Identity Verification page here for more information.
2. What we do if we find out that your account has been used to gamble by someone who is under 18 years of age? Please see our policy on underage gambling pages here and the procedure we follow in the event that we identify your account as being used by an underage individual.
3. What if your contact information changes? If there are any changes to the contact information you have provided to us, such as a change to your address, telephone number or registered email, then you must update your account details with the new information as soon as possible. You can do this for certain contact information (which we identify) on your account details page or by contacting us and we will change the information for you. If you do not keep your information up to date, we may suspend or close your account. Please note that any change you make may result in a request for further documentation to be provided if we are not able to automatically verify it.
4. We use publicly available information. Please note that we use publicly available information to confirm your details as far as we are able, but if we require more information from you at any time, for example where your details have not yet been updated in the public sources that we use, or where we are required to ask you to prove where the monies that you are depositing came from, then we will contact you for further information and provide you with details of how you can securely send this information to us. If we do not receive this information, we will suspend your account which will prevent you from using our services and may delay the withdrawal of any funds on your account.
5. Depositing and withdrawing monies from your account with us.
  1. For details on how to deposit and withdraw monies – please click here.
  2. You must not deposit, or attempt to deposit, funds which have been obtained from criminal, illegal or fraudulent activities into your account.
  3. You are not allowed to use your account like a bank account (i.e depositing and withdrawing monies without actually using our products and services).
  4. You are not allowed to deposit or withdraw monies if you are under 18 years of age.
  5. You will usually be able to withdraw your available balance at any time, but there are certain circumstances in which we will be entitled to delay or withhold withdrawals.
6. Your responsibility for the payment of taxes and other charges. You are fully responsible for your personal taxes, fees and other costs which arise from your gambling activities with us.
7. Information about currency conversions (or similar) that take place.
  1. New customers can only open accounts in either GBP or Euros. Any monies that are transferred into your account will need to be in the currency of your account. This means that any conversion that is necessary to deposit monies into your account will be carried out by the provider of your payment method, along with any charges that they may make. We have no control over either of these.
  2. Our Bingo and Poker products and services may apply a currency conversion (depending on the currency you have chosen for your account).
  3. Except where specified, GBP will have an equivalent value to Euros.
8. User ID and Passwords. When opening an account with us, you will be required to choose a unique username and password. It is your responsibility to make sure that these details are kept private, as you are responsible for all activity on your account. If you lose or forget your username and/or password, or if you are concerned that a third party is aware of them, you should change your password immediately. This can be done by going through our ‘forgotten log in’ link here and choosing the appropriate options.

  2. Where the account closure is because we discover that you have become bankrupt or subject to a similar insolvency event or proceeding, we will handle any cleared funds remaining in your account (at the time we close it) in accordance with our obligations under applicable bankruptcy/insolvency laws which may involve transferring those funds to the appointed insolvency practitioner. If there are any unsettled and/or future bets or other transactions on your account at the time we close it, those bets or other transactions (and any winnings accrued from them) will be void and the stakes returned to your account balance and dealt with as described in the sentence above.
  3. Where the account closure is because you have entered into a self-exclusion agreement with us, please see our safer gambling area and in particular our Self-Exclusion Procedure.

    2. for any other prohibited practice, we will withhold all or part of the account balance and/or void or recover from your account deposits, pay-outs, bonuses, and/or any winnings (if/as applicable) in each case to the extent attributable to the relevant prohibited practice.
Dormant Accounts
1. When will we class your account as ‘dormant’? If you have not logged into your account during a period of at least three hundred and sixty-five days (365) then we will class your account as “dormant”. We will write to your last known email address at least 14 days in advance of reclassifying your account.
2. What if there is money in your dormant account? We will use reasonable attempts to return this to you and will provide you with at least 30 days written notice to your last known address prior to doing any of the following: i) reclassifying the funds, ii) removing this balance from view; and iii) closing your account. Please note that our taking any of these actions does not affect your rights to the balance and you can remove it yourself (if you can still access your account) or contact our customer services team at any time to request the return of your monies and they will provide you with instructions on how to do this.
Problems with our content, products and services
1. How to tell us about problems? If you spot a problem with our content, products and services, including any of our bets or games, please contact our customer services team and let us know so that we can correct it as soon as possible.
2. What should you do if you believe that another customer of ours is cheating or using a robot (a ‘bot’)? Please contact our customer services team and provide us with as much information as you can to help us safeguard the integrity of gambling.
3. What do we do if there is a problem with our content, products and services? We take all reasonable steps to ensure that when we accept your bet and take your stake that we accept it, process it and settle it in accordance with our published terms and rules and the Rules and Limits of the specific game, event or bet. However, occasionally unexpected system flaws, faults or errors occur.
  1. Where this has not impacted you financially, we will just fix the problem.
  2. Where the problem impacts you financially, for example where we incorrectly settle one of your bets (whether or not it is in your favour or ours) then we will let you know as soon as we can. We will also take steps to rectify the error, for example by manually adjusting your account. We will take into account all of the relevant circumstances when resolving the problem so as to treat you and our other customers fairly.
  3. All Betfred.com prices are subject to change and are fixed only when a bet is struck. Should there be an obvious pricing error or system failure which leads to incorrect prices, lines or handicaps being displayed, any bets taken at these prices will be deemed void and all bets cancelled including multiples.
  4. If the fault or error results in an overpayment that you have withdrawn, you agree that you will pay them back to us if we ask you to.
4. What do we mean by ‘malfunction voids pays and plays’ in our game rules? Where a game does not work as it was intended (i.e. fairly and strictly in accordance with the published rules, any applicable RTP and limits), we say that it has ‘malfunctioned’. In these circumstances, the fairest thing to do is to treat such bets as void (i.e. as if it had never been made) – whether it is in your favour or ours – so that no winnings are paid and no losses are retained by us from the malfunctioning game and you receive your affected stake back.
  
  However, this is not always possible, for example, where you have been playing a malfunctioning game over a number of different days and have placed other bets and played other games with us using winnings from the malfunctioning game along with your own monies; or have used winnings to play poker with another customer. Where things become more complex, we will apply the following principles:
  - We will not benefit from the ‘malfunction’
  - We will treat affected customers fairly and with priority; and
  - We will let affected customers know the steps we have taken and the reasons for doing so after all monies due to customers because of the ‘malfunction’ have been returned (but not before).
5. What if you have a problem with your internet connection or device? If for any reason you do not see the confirmation for a bet you wished to place or the results of a particular game that you were playing. For example:
  1. If you submit a betslip and before you see any confirmation, you lose connection to our products and services, then if that betslip has been received by us, you can see whether we have accepted your bet and issued a confirmation by looking at your betting statement when you are next able to access your account. If the instruction to place the bet has not reached us and we have not accepted the bet, then we will not have taken any money from your account and no bet will have been placed.
  2. If you click a ‘spin’ button whilst playing a game and you lose connection and do not see whether it has been accepted by us. If the instruction has been received by us then you will be able to see the result of that spin when you next access your account. However, if the instruction was not received by us, or we did not accept it because it was not a valid spin, then we will not have taken any money from your account and no game play will have taken place.
  3. Where it causes a game (casino slots) to be interrupted and we are not able to restart it from exactly the same position (without loss to you or other players) we will return the stake for your interrupted game and void that game.
  4. Where your poker tournament is interrupted, please see here for details of how we will deal with you.
6. What if we suspect or become aware of irregular betting patterns or game play or manipulations or collusion occurring? We will take such actions as are reasonably required to safeguard the integrity of the event or series of events or the playing of the game, including:
  1. suspending betting on the event, series of events or the playing of that game.

4. What are ‘free bets’ and ‘free play'? These are amounts which are ‘free’ for you to use to place bets on and play certain of our sports, lotto and virtual products and services (but not Totepool or any of our games). However, the free bet or free play amount cannot be withdrawn as cash and will not form part of any winnings paid to you.
  
  You are under no obligation to use any of these free bets where they are awarded to you and any restrictions on their use will be set out in the Significant Conditions that we make you aware of.
  
  Any unused free bets will expire 7-days after issue unless it is part of a specific promotion that has a different expiry date, in which case this will be explicitly detailed in the Significant Conditions.
5. Are ‘free bets’ and ‘free play’ the same? Yes, they are the same. In these Terms, we use ‘free bets’ to cover both terms.
6. What do you receive back if you win using your free bets? All winnings arising from your use of free bets are paid as cash into your Deposit Balance but without any stake element (i.e. we do not pay you the free bet amount).
7. How will you know whether you are playing with your own monies, free bets or funds which are restricted?
  1. We will let you know when you are playing with funds that are subject to Promotional Play Restrictions and/or Wagering Requirements (“Restricted Funds”).
  2. We will also let you know what your free bets balance is on your bet slip and allow you choose whether to use this balance to place your bet (where applicable).
  Please note that we will not attach any Promotional Play Restrictions or Wagering Requirements on any monies which you have deposited or which is already capable of being withdrawn from your account.
8. How will you know what the consequences are of you not complying with Promotional Play Restrictions and/or Wagering Requirements? We will let you know this information within the Significant Conditions section of the relevant Bonuses and Promotions.
9. What happens to your ‘free bets’ when your account has restrictions (“Account Restrictions”) placed on it in relation to sports betting?
  
  We will not enforce any Account Restriction against you in circumstances where you have already made one or more qualifying bets in respect of a free bet promotion before we told you of the Account Restriction, where enforcing such an Account Restriction would:
  1. affect your ability:
    1. to receive any of the free bets, or the full expected value of any of the free bets, from that free bet promotion, having placed all the necessary qualifying bets.
    2. to receive any of the free bets, or the full value of any of the free bets, to which you would be entitled upon placing the remaining qualifying bets required by that free bet bonus or promotion.
    3. to complete any Wagering Requirements associated with that free bet promotion.
  2. materially affect your ability to complete the qualifying bets required by that free bet promotion.
  Where an account restriction is placed on your account, we will inform you that the account restriction is in place and is without prejudice to your participation in full in any ‘free bet’ bonus or promotion for which you have already placed any qualifying bets or, where this is not possible for whatever reason, the steps you should take to otherwise receive the full benefit of any free bets.
10. What happens if you do not comply with a Significant Condition? Where we find that you have failed to comply with any Promotional Play Restrictions or Wagering Requirements or any of the Significant Conditions which apply to a bonus or promotion, we will investigate and let you know how we believe you have failed to comply. We will let you know the action arising from the outcome of our investigation in line with terms 10.3 – 10.5 above.
11. What time limits apply to our bonuses and promotions? Generally our bonuses and promotions must be:
  1. accepted within three (3) days of being awarded; and
  2. are only valid for use for seven (7) days after acceptance,
  unless we set out different time limits in the Significant Conditions for that particular bonus or promotion.
  
  Any part of the bonus or promotion that is not used within this period will expire and will not be re-issued.
12. Do the bonuses and promotions have any cash equivalent value? They do not have any cash value but they do have a betting or in-game value that will vary from offer to offer and game to game. The betting or in-game value will be detailed in the Significant Conditions of the particular bonus or promotion.
13. Are you allowed to use your bonus or Promotion with any other offer? Each of our offers is separate and may not be used with any other promotion or offer.
14. Are you allowed to use your own monies in conjunction with any bonus or promotion? Where we allow you to use your own monies in conjunction with any bonus or promotion we will let you know in the Significant Conditions attached to the specific bonus or promotion.

Other important terms
1. Cash-out opportunities. These give you the opportunity to settle your bet early, without having to wait for the event to finish. Full details of how this operates is set out within the Cash Out FAQs area.
2. Segregation of Funds. Under the current Gambling Commission of Great Britain’s insolvency rating system, your funds are rated as Medium protection. Further information can be obtained by visiting: Segregation of Funds - Insolvency Rating System. Our customer funds are held in a separate bank account (segregated account) from our general Business accounts, and arrangements have been made to ensure assets in the customer accounts are distributed to customers in the event of insolvency. Our bankers have formally acknowledged in writing that the bank will not exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim against the segregated account for any other liability to the bank by the Business. This provides a meaningful level of protection but does not guarantee that all funds would be returned in an insolvency.
3. What Time-Zones do we use? Wherever possible, we use the time-zone applicable to the United Kingdom and will let you know if this is not the case. An example of where this may differ is for any times shown in our games (which will use the time zone settings of your computer).
4. Nobody else has any rights under our Terms. Our Terms are between you and us. No other person will have any rights to enforce any of our Terms.
5. If a court finds part of our Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each part of our Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
6. Even if we delay in enforcing our Terms, we can still enforce them later. If we delay in taking steps against you in respect of you failing to comply with our Terms, then it will not prevent us from taking action against you at a later date.
7. Which laws apply to this contract and where can you bring legal proceedings? The Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and you can bring legal proceedings in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts. If you live in Gibraltar you can bring legal proceedings in either the Gibraltar or the English courts. The application of English law will not limit any statutory rights you may have in your country of residence.
8. Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled your complaint, you can contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use by submitting your complaint to the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS) via their website at www.ibas-uk.com. Please also see our Complaints Procedure.
