Fraudulent Activity
You acknowledge
that any attempt by you, or any party acting upon your explicit or implicit
cooperation or encouragement, to defraud us shall result in the forfeiture
of your entire account balance including your initial deposit. You further
acknowledge that this forfeiture shall in no way prevent us from pursuing
other avenues of recourse such as the filing of a criminal or civil legal
action.
Without limiting
our definition of fraud, we shall consider your activities fraudulent
if you place wagers or attempt to place wagers from more than one account,
if you place wagers or attempt to place wagers from an account which is
not in your own name, if you use the services of a third party to help
hide your identity in order to place wagers with us, or if you place wagers or attempt to place wagers through the use of any type of automated device.
Password
You are solely
responsible for the security of your Personal Identification Number (PIN)
and your password. In the event that you suspect that a third party may
have your PIN or password, you must ask us to furnish you with a new PIN
and password. You are responsible for any unauthorized use of your account.
In the event that a third party places a bet or is thought to have placed
a bet in your account, said bet shall be valid regardless of whether or
not the alleged third party had your prior consent or knowledge. Under
no circumstances will any bet be cancelled for this reason.
When choosing
a password we recommend you do NOT use all lower case letters. DO use
numbers and symbols. DO use a mix of upper and lower case letters.
Discrepancies/Disputes
Should
there be a discrepancy between the gaming results on your computer and
the gaming results on our server in Antigua, the results on our server
shall be controlling.
After
logging in, but prior to placing a wager, you must verify your account
balance. When you verify and accept your account balance you agree that
all previous transactions are correct and you do not have any claims against
us. Claims or disputes against us must be settled prior to you making
any further wagers. Notice of these claims or disputes must be reported
to us within 3 days from the date of any wager specific dispute.
If
we credit funds to your account in error, it is your responsibility to
notify us of the error without delay. Any winnings you achieve subsequent
to the error but prior to notifying us, whether linked to the error or
not, shall be deemed invalid and returned to us. We reserve the right
to adjust your account to correct any error.
All
our Internet transactions will be saved on a tape back-up system. In all
cases of dispute, you and we agree that the file tape back-up shall serve
as the final authority in the dispute and all wagers and/or account balances
will be adjusted accordingly. For disputes, claims, additional account
information or to report account discrepancies, contact us by electronic
mail at help@caribbeanbet.com.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute regarding a wager
or winnings or any other transaction relating to the use of our Wagering
Services, our decision will be final and binding in all matters.
In the event of a discrepancy between the English language version of
this Agreement and any other language version, the English language version
shall be deemed correct.
Bonuses
From time
to time you may be eligible to receive free bonuses from us. Your eligibility
and the amount of these free bonuses shall be subject to our discretion
and shall be non-transferable and non-refundable. Bonuses are not cumulative. Therefore, if you make a deposit that is eligible for a bonus under two separate promotions, your account will only be credited with one bonus and the other will not accrue to you.
You may not
request payment of your account balance plus the bonus until you have
placed casino or sports betting wagers totaling at least three times the amount
of the initial deposit plus the bonus. For example, if you open an account
and deposit $500, you must make wagers totaling $1,650 before you can
withdraw your free $50 sign-up bonus in addition to your own $500 deposit.
Limit of Player Winnings
The maximum
dollar amount that may be won by any customer (whether an individual,
corporation or other entity) or any syndicate, partnership or any combination
of customers acting in concert in any 30-day period is Twenty Five Thousand Dollars United
States Currency (US$ 25,000). This maximum shall apply
independently of the number of wagers placed or pending or the amount
wagered or pending, and it shall be incumbent upon you to ensure that
your 30-day return does not exceed the aforesaid limit.
Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, we reserve our right to credit any account
or group of accounts controlled by any customer (whether an individual,
corporation or other entity) or any syndicate, partnership or any combination
of customers acting in concert to a 30-day maximum of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars United States
Currency (US$ 25,000) or the equivalent, and/or to debit
any account or group of accounts which have been credited a 30-day amount
in winnings of more than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars United States Currency
(US$ 25,000) or the equivalent. Any parlay, teaser or future bets shall
be judged to have been placed during the 30-day period in which the result
of the final event in the parlay or future bet(s) was announced. For the
purposes of this section, a 30-day period shall be defined as any consecutive
30 days regardless of whether these consecutive 30-days take place in
single calendar month or the combination of two or three calendar months.
Withdrawing Funds
We only allow two withdrawals per day. Your PIN
is required to withdraw money from your account. We want financial transactions
to be as secure as possible and your PIN number adds a level of security.
Your PIN number is randomly generated for your account and is sent to
you by e-mail immediately after you create your account.
You must
ensure that your personal details including valid e-mail and postal mailing
address are kept up to date on our system. Your postal mailing address on your account must exactly match the address listed on your credit card statements for all credit cards used on your account. We shall not be responsible
for any loss, error or claim that may result from your failure to keep
such information up to date on our system.
You are responsible
for withdrawing or playing out any funds held in your account. We do not
undertake to notify you of outstanding balances. If your account is inactive
for longer than 6 months you will forfeit the outstanding balance.
We reserve
the right to require identification documents from you for general auditing purposes or before sending you your withdrawal.
Taxes
We will not
disclose details of your winnings or losses since this is your responsibility.
If you reside in a jurisdiction where your winnings are taxable you must
keep track of your winnings and report them to the proper authorities.
These or any other tax related obligations shall be your sole responsibility.
Computer Error
Notwithstanding
any implied or express terms of this Agreement, you agree that in the
event that our computer hardware or software does not properly implement
the rules of a game or does not properly implement the random number generator,
or does not make proper account for the play that has occurred, we shall
only be liable for your initial deposit, and you shall forfeit any winnings
made as a result of the computer or software error.
