2.2 Registration and processing of personal data

Should the Operator resolve to decline the registration, the login credentials shall be cancelled.

3. GAMING ACCOUNT

3.1 Use of the Gaming Account

The Operator shall open a personal Gaming Account for each registered Gaming Customer.

The Gaming Account may only be used to participate in the Gaming Service. 

The Operator reserves the right to limit payments into the Gaming Account at any time for, inter alia, security reasons.

Registered bank account or other payment method must belong to the Gaming Customer personally, and each specific bank account/payment method can only be registered at one Gaming Account.

The Gaming Customer may only open one (1) Gaming Account per Gaming Site. The currency on the Gaming Account is Swedish krowns (SEK).

3.2 Expenses

The Gaming Customer shall be liable for all expenses that the bank may possibly debit for the payments made regarding the Operator’s bank account in the bank or for the credit transfers made between the accounts of the Operator, other external transaction providers, and the Gaming Customer.

The Gaming Customer gives his/her consent to direct debiting of the Gaming Account and any transaction or service fees that occur as a result. If the transaction fee exceeds the funds existing on the gaming account, then the existing funds are not paid to the Gaming Customer.

3.3 Processing and accounting of customer funds at the Operator

Funds deposited by the Gaming Customer are accountable funds. The Operator shall keep the customer funds separate from its own funds, and the customer funds shall be deposited in a bank account.

The distinction of the funds is made only in the Operator’s electronic Gaming Account bookkeeping.

3.4 Interest on Gaming Customer’s funds

The Operator shall not pay any interest on funds deposited in the Operator’s bank account by the Gaming Customer. The Operator shall not pay any interest on funds entered into the Gaming Account.

3.5 Gaming Customer’s right to use the funds in the Gaming Account

Funds in the Gaming Account may be used for gaming during the opening hours of the Gaming Service (see section 5), provided that the Gaming account has not been frozen, locked or closed. At the request of the Gaming Customer, the Operator shall transfer funds in the Gaming Customer’s Gaming Account, entirely or partly, deducting possible service fees, and with a reservation for possible other deductions, into the bank account or other payment method the Gaming Customer has last registered with the Operator. 

Bonus money that has not met the bonus requirements will not be paid out. 

Deposits and withdrawals from the Gaming Account may only be made to/from the Gaming Customer’s own bank account or other payment method belonging to the Gaming Customer as well as in accordance with the current applicable rules on deposits and withdrawals.

The Gaming Customer is not entitled to funds or any other remaining rights, benefits and/or winnings that have been obtained through cheating or other breaches of the gaming rules or the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, criminal activities, manipulation of the gaming system, or by any other inappropriate means. The Operator reserves the right to limit the Gaming Customer’s access to the Gaming Service and/or the right to withhold any funds in the Gaming Account for a time period decided by the Operator if the Operator suspect or can prove that the Gaming Customer has broken the gaming rules and/or the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, or for other reasons of security.

The Operator reserves the right to check and verify a Gaming Customer’s identity and title to a means of payment and entitlement to the funds before a transfer at any time.

As a result of such a check, the Operator has the right to withhold the funds in the Gaming Account and is not responsible or liable for any payment delays or other delays due to these checks. In case of suspicious behaviour, the check and verification may take up to six (6) months to complete. This time period may be affected by legislation or decisions by authorities. During the time it takes to complete the process, the requested funds shall be stored as frozen funds in the Gaming Customer’s Gaming Account.

3.6 No pledging or currency speculation

Funds in the Gaming Account may not be pledged. The Gaming Account may not be used for currency speculation or to otherwise exploit changes in exchange rates. 

3.7 Possibility for the Gaming Customer to freeze the game categories

The Gaming Customer may freeze game categories himself/herself for a specific time using a tool that allows the Gaming Customer to choose which game categories he/she would like to freeze and the time period the freeze will apply for.

3.8 The Gaming Customer’s right to lock their Gaming Account (Self-exclusion)

The Gaming Customer may inform the Operator that they want their account to be locked. Locking an account means here that the Gaming Customer wants to be prohibited from using their Gaming Account, and that they are prohibited from opening a new Gaming Account. The Operator will lock a Gaming Account at the request of the Gaming Customer. The Operator will confirm to the Game Customer that the lock has been completed by e-mail. 

Upon a Gaming Customer’s request to lock a Gaming Account, the Operator reserves the right to also lock any other Gaming Accounts that the Gaming Customer may have within the Paf Group.

A Gaming Account which is locked until further notice may only be opened at the earliest after twelve months. 

3.9 Control over entries

The Operator shall not issue any gaming certificates or receipts regarding individual entries in the Gaming Account. The entries shall be accounted electronically in the Gaming Service. The Gaming Customer agrees to check that the entries in the Gaming Account are congruent with the actions taken by the Gaming Customer.

3.10 Complaints and expiration

Complaints, for example regarding erroneous payment or unreceived winnings, shall be notified to the Operator within reasonable time, but no later within three (3) months calculated from the moment the deviation was or should have been detected. The Operator reserves the right to reject a complaint should the Operator not have received the complaint within the said time limit.

Complaints can be either submitted by mail, email, chat or by calling the customer service at +358 20 7910 600. However, the Operator recommends that complaints are submitted in writing in order to effectively handle any potential complaints from a Gaming Customer.

The Gaming Customer shall immediately inform the Operator after having detected a failure in the closing, freezing, locking, etc. of the Gaming Account, performed by the Operator or the Gaming Customer. In no event shall the Operator be liable for any bets the Gaming Customer has been able to place subsequent to the closing, freezing or locking of the account or limitation set by the Gaming Customer. The decision to become a customer and therefore the responsibility for using the Gaming Service is taken solely by the Gaming Customer.

5.1 General

The Gaming Customer undertakes to always follow the applicable gaming rules for all games that are provided by the Gaming Service in addition to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. Any breach of the gaming rules or the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement will automatically mean that the Gaming Event is declared void and the Gaming Customer will forfeit their entitlement to any winnings from any such void games. The Operator reserves the right to declare games void at any time during the customer relationship as a result of the Gaming Customer’s breach of the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement or of the rules.

If the Gaming Customer discovers a bug, or any other error in the system, he/she must immediately log out from the Gaming Service.

Measures include the above measures for other types of gaming manipulation or illegal payment, including but not limited to the use of stolen account(s) or credit cards, illegal credit, repayment or money laundering.

The Operator reserves the right to take measures, either by itself or via a third party supplier, to discover and/or prevent collusion, use of prohibited EPA programs, robots, chip-dumping and any other fraudulent or improper behaviour.

The Gaming Customer or any person who intends to register with the Gaming Service is responsible at all times for ensuring the legality of using or registering for the Gaming Service in the country or region where the Gaming Customer is located.

7. WINNINGS AND PAYMENT OF WINNINGS

Winnings as well as potential repayment of gaming expenses/bets are automatically credited to the Gaming Account of the Gaming Customer. A Gaming Customer can request a transfer from the Gaming Account to a specified bank account or other payment method the Gaming Customer has registered with the Operator, provided that the Operator is able to support the payment method.

Winnings shall be paid to the Gaming Account as soon as possible after the game has ended or the results have been confirmed.

The Operator is not responsible for any damages that could occur as a direct or indirect result of a delay or impediment to complete payment of the winnings.

The Chat Service may only be used for communicating messages, questions and material that is suitable, appropriate and which complies with the law, good practice, and which also in other regards complies with the purpose of the Gaming Service. What fulfils these criteria is decided solely by the Operator.

The Operator neither endorses nor opposes the opinions of any Gaming Customer, but may take issue with the manner in which an opinion is expressed.

8.2 Content and Conduct

The Gaming Customer acknowledges and agrees to be personally responsible for his/her use of the Chat Service and for all of his/her communication and activity on the Chat Service, including any Content the Gaming Customer contributes.

8.3 Security

The Chat Service is a real-time service, which is why the Operator does not endorse, approve or preview any Content that Gaming Customers post on the Chat Service. Gaming Customers are therefore kindly asked to observe the security risks that communication with other Gaming Customers via the Chat Service may entail. Sensitive information such as social security numbers may only be communicated during contacts with the Operator's Helpdesk where the purpose is to identify the Gaming Customer.

Everything a Gaming Customer posts and writes on the Chat Service may be monitored by representatives of the Operator.

If a Gaming Customer violates the Content or conduct terms, the Operator may take action against the Gaming Customer. The Operator may issue a warning due to the violation, or may choose to freeze the Chat Service or immediately terminate the Gaming Customer’s Gaming Account. The Operator is not required to notify the Gaming Customer prior to taking action.

F. No guidance or information, written or oral, obtained from the Operator or via the Gaming Service, shall constitute any warranty, which has not specifically been stated in these Terms and Conditions.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Gaming Customer specifically acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the Operator be liable for any direct or indirect damage, including but not limited to, delay, damages caused by unused opportunity of the Gaming Service, loss of profits, goodwill, licenses of data or other financial loss arising out of:

  1. the use of the Gaming Service or inability to use the Gaming Service;

The Operator reserves the right to make amendments to the Gaming Service as well as, when necessary, to amend the gaming rules, including cancellation and termination of a Gaming event including a prize pool, and  without prior notice to the Gaming Customer.
