3.4.3 You are not allowed to use our Services if you are resident in, or whilst you are located in, a country where betting is illegal or prohibited, such as Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and the United States of America or such other territories that we deem illegal from time to time. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and is subject to change.
3.4.4 We are not responsible for any action which may arise against you from accessing our website and using our Services when in a country in which gambling is illegal.
3.4.5 We reserve the right to block transactions that we suspect are from any non-accepted territory at our sole discretion. Additionally, we will not permit any transactions where you are located in any country that is on the Visa Original Credit Transaction Exclusion List.
3.4.6 We reserve the right, for whatever reason and at any time, to close your Account or suspend access to our website if we believe you are in breach of the warranties or undertakings given above.
3.5.1 To place a bet with us, you need to deposit funds in your Account e.g. by a bank transfer, e-wallet or bank card. JCB cards are not acceptable. Payment transactions using corporate cards are not permitted. The maximum number of payment methods that you may have on your account is three.
3.5.2 By depositing funds with us, you undertake that the money in your Account was not generated from an illegal source or illegal activities or tainted with any form of illegality. You also undertake that you will not act in a way or take any action or actions, that will have the effect of reversing, stopping or preventing a payment being made to avoid any legitimate liability arising from your use of our Exchange.
3.5.3 We reserve the right to check your transactions for any indication of money laundering and terrorist financing. Any transactions made by you which we suspect to be linked to money laundering, terrorism or proceeds of crime, may be referred to the appropriate authorities. These checks are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the security of our users’ funds, and in compliance with our obligations in respect of money laundering and terrorist financing.
3.5.4 We operate a closed loop policy which enforces the withdrawal of funds back to their source. You will be required to level off any deposits made with the same amount of withdrawals before you can withdraw any excess funds back via another payment source. This policy protects both us, and our customers against fraud and money laundering. The difference between your 'total deposits' and 'total withdrawals' by any payment method is called 'net deposits'. If you have deposited more than you have withdrawn to any method, you will have positive net deposits. We will only process withdrawals using the same payment method and Account chosen by you to make deposits. When it is not possible to do so, or you wish to withdraw funds to another payment method, you will be required to level off any deposits made with the same amount of withdrawals using the original payment method before any additional funds can be withdrawn to other registered payment methods.
Example:
If your net deposits (deposits on that card/e-wallet/bank account minus withdrawals on that card/e-wallet/bank account) on your registered cards are:
Card A – £50, Card B – £100, Card C – £200, and you have a balance of £400 in your Account, you need to withdraw as follows:
Card A Net Deposits = £50, withdrawal = £50, balance =£0,
Card B Net Deposits = £100, withdrawal = £100, balance =£0,
Card C Net Deposits = £200, withdrawal = £200, balance =£0.
Now that all balances are at £0, you can choose which method you wish to withdraw the remaining £50 to.
You will not be able to remove a payment method from your account unless the net deposit on that payment method is zero or less.
If you no longer have the payment method (e.g. where the card used to make the deposit has expired), we will need to carry out a number of routine security checks before we are able to make the withdrawal to a different payment method. As part of that process, we may require additional documentation from you to confirm that the original payment method used to make the deposit is no longer active and the reason for it ceasing to be active. Please contact Customer Services in such cases.
3.5.5 All withdrawal requests will be processed after the expiry of a set period of time from the withdrawal request being made.
3.5.6 You acknowledge that while we do not impose a maximum withdrawal limit, such limits may be imposed by our payment providers and that these may be subject to change. Withdrawals may also be subject to internal risk reviews by us and our payment providers. The following restrictions have been imposed by our payment provider:
3.5.7 We are unable to issue you a refund on any funds deposited in your Account. If you decide that you wish to withdraw the funds in your Account, you must do so using the same payment method when you deposited the funds. You will be required to level off any deposits made with the same amount of withdrawals using the original payment method before any additional funds can be withdrawn to other registered payment methods.
3.5.8 We can only remove cards from a customer’s account which have expired or been lost, stolen, damaged or cancelled. In such cases, we may request from you an image of the new card showing the last four digits of the main card number and the cardholder’s name. All other numbers are to be obscured. We may also request that you supply additional information to us in order to verify the identity of the card holder.
3.6.1 You may close or suspend your Account at any time by contacting our Customer Service.
3.6.2 We reserve the right to suspend or close your Account at any time, either with or without cause or due notice to you. We will use our reasonable endeavours to give you notice either before or shortly after suspending or closing your Account if advance notice is not possible.
3.6.3 If we become aware, or have cause to suspect, that you are in certain jurisdictions where gambling or betting is restricted or prohibited, we will take steps to block you from using our website.
3.6.4 Following the closure or suspension of your Account, we will, in the normal course of events, return any outstanding funds in your Account to you, subject to any charges or fees and the availability of the payment method(s) by which the original deposit was made. Where we have reasonable grounds to believe or suspect that such funds were obtained illegally or unlawfully through cheating, collusion or proceeds of crime, we may withhold such funds as per our Terms and Conditions or any requirement of regulations, legislation or by law enforcement agencies. In addition, if we note any suspicious or criminal activity on your Account, we will report it to the appropriate authorities.
3.6.5 Where there is an ongoing investigation on your Account, we reserve the right to withhold the funds in your Account pending the outcome and final determination of such investigation (including any external investigation) where:
a. we suspect that you have acted in breach of these Terms and Conditions or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our website, including where we suspect the Account has been linked with fraudulent or dishonest activity; or
b. we are permitted, or required by law, or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority
3.6.6 Following the final determination of such investigation, we reserve the right to seize some or all the funds in your Account if we are satisfied that you have acted in breach of these Terms and Conditions or any other agreement relevant to your activities on our website.
3.6.7 Such funds will be managed at our sole and absolute discretion, and where applicable, in accordance with any advice, request or instruction from any regulatory or enforcement authority.
3.6.8 Where a further identification request has been made by law enforcement agencies, industry regulators, tax authorities or other regulatory authorities, to identify you, we will notify you of such request. In the event that you fail to provide us with sufficient identification information, we may suspend your Account and withhold any outstanding funds until such time as you provide the requested information or pending final determination of any investigation which may relate to such request.
3.6.9 At no point would we pay any interest on the funds held in your account.
3.7.1 You agree that we rely on the information provided by you in entering into our agreement with you in accordance with our Privacy Policy (attached to this document) and agree not to hold us liable for any falsehood or inaccuracy contained in the information you provide to us.
3.7.2 By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree to indemnify and hold Bet Ltd, its directors, agents and employees harmless from all or any liability, claims, losses or demands made by any third party arising out of your breach of this agreement.
We hold user funds in a ring-fenced client Account in line with regulatory requirements. This means that we have taken steps to protect your funds in the unlikely event that Bet Ltd becomes subject to insolvency proceedings.
This arrangement meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for the protection of user funds at the level: basic protection. More information on the levels of protection and the ratings system can be found at https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Your-rights/Protection-of-customer-funds.aspx
5.1.1 There are certain types of charges that you may be required to pay when using our Services as set out below. There are also additional charges that may apply in particular circumstances to users of our Exchange (see below).
5.1.2 All charges are inclusive of VAT, where applicable.
5.1.3 We reserve the right to amend our charges from time to time. In such cases, we will notify you accordingly.
5.1.4 We use rounding to calculate the exact amount of commission that is to be paid on any Market. For this purpose, any sum of £0.0049 or below shall be rounded down to the nearest penny, and any sum of £0.005 or above shall be rounded up to the nearest penny.
We will apply a 2.00% percentage commission rate to your net winnings on any Market.
Charges may apply to deposits and withdrawals to reflect the cost incurred by us as a result of processing excessive transactions. These may include charges that may have been levied on us by our payment processor for transactions which will be passed on to you at cost.
5.4.1 In certain circumstances, an Inactive Account Fee of £5.00 (including VAT) may be charged. We will begin charging you the Inactive Account Fee each calendar month where:
5.4.2 We will notify you that an Inactive Account Fee will be charged thirty (30) days prior to any fees being incurred.
5.4.3 The Inactive Account Fee will be taken from your Account monthly whilst the Account remains in credit.
5.4.4 If the Inactive Account Fee is due to be withdrawn from your Account and the balance of your Account is less than the said fee), the Inactive Account Fee shall comprise of the remaining funds in your Account. Your account will be closed at that point when there are no funds remaining.
Example:
If the last time you engaged in an Account activity was 28 February 2016, and your Account held funds of £25 as at 31 March 2017, then we would charge the first Inactive Account Fee of £5 on or around 31 March 2017 and would continue to charge the Inactive Account Fee monthly thereafter until the Account balance reaches £0.00. We would have notified you by your preferred communication medium of our intention to debit your Account at least 30 days prior to 31 March 2017.

Where you place a bet with the intention of subsequently placing a separate bet to reduce the liability incurred by the initial bet, there can never be a guarantee that the Services will be available at the point you wish to place the subsequent bet (this is the case regardless of whether or not the unavailability of the Services is due to a matter beyond our reasonable control).
We will not be liable for any third party’s failure to carry out their responsibilities under our Terms and Conditions.
We may at any time, and without notice to you, set off any liability owed to us or to our users by you, including (without limitation) in relation to any Account in your name or which we believe to be under your control:

A ‘complaint’ means a complaint about any aspect of our conduct of the licensed activities. A ‘dispute’ is any complaint which:
Although we wish to be as open and transparent as possible in our handling of complaints and disputes, we require our customers not to share their complaint in public (e.g. to the press or to online forums) before we have concluded our efforts to resolve the complaint or dispute. This is to ensure that the outcome of any investigation is not jeopardised or compromised by information about the complaint or the investigation being made public. This requirement should not in any way prevent you from seeking help or advice with your complaint where you need it.
Complaints must be presented to us within 6 months of the date of the alleged incident.
Complaints presented to us outside that period will not be considered.
You may raise a complaint or dispute either by telephone, email or in writing to our Customer Support Team (contact details are below), giving as much supporting information about the complaint as you have. Your complaint will be acknowledged within one working day and will be investigated by a member of the team. We will endeavour to issue a final response to your complaint within 8 weeks of receipt of your complaint. Please note that the 8-week period may be extended if you fail to engage with the complaint process in a timely manner. This may occur where we have requested further information from you and we may “stop the clock” until we receive that information from you. In such cases, the clock will be restarted from the same point as it was stopped as soon as we receive the requested information from you. You may contact us at any time by the following means:
Phone: +44 (0) 1937 860000
Email: support@bet.me
Post: Bet Ltd, Thorp Arch Grange, Thorp Arch, Wetherby LS23 7BA.
Should you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of our decision, you may request to have the decision reviewed by a Senior Manager. That escalation process will also be concluded within the same 8-week period starting from the date of receipt of the original complaint and be subject to the same “stop the clock” process where we have requested further information from you.
Once our investigation process has been completed (and in any event, on conclusion of the 8-week period), we will advise you of our final decision and that we have reached the end of our complaints process.
If you remain dissatisfied with our final response, you may refer your dispute to our alternative dispute resolution (ADR) entity, ProMediate. (If you advise us directly that you remain dissatisfied, we will refer the issue to Promediate). Please note that ProMediate may reject complaints that it considers to be frivolous or vexatious. ProMediate operates a consumer mediation service, certified by the Gambling Commission. ProMediate's role is to help to resolve disputes through conciliation and mediation. The service is independent. Using the service is voluntary and you will not be charged for the use of their services. We agree to fully support any investigations Promediate chooses to undertake. We will advise the Gambling Commission of the outcome of every case that is referred to the ADR.
You may refer a dispute to Promediate at any time following the conclusion of our review of the dispute, so long as this is done within twelve months from the date of our final response to your complaint. Promediate will, on an exceptional basis, accept referrals outside this period if it considers it just to do so. We are not able to refer disputes directly to Promediate. That must be done by you as detailed below. Further information regarding Promediate and their services can be found on their website and you can contact them using any of the methods below:

Where such a breach of these rules is identified, the bet will be voided.
18.4.3 The offered prices are a snapshot of the prices in the Exchange at a recent point in time. These prices are not guaranteed prices, as since they were generated offers could have been cancelled or matched by other users. If your bet is not matched by the Exchange because the offer is no longer available, your bet will still be accepted as an offer.
18.4.4 Occasionally, in certain circumstances, we may act as counterparty in respect to bets.
18.4.5 It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the contents of our website and the Services that we offer. In order to enhance our Services, we may from time to time, change the format and content of the Services. Where this is the case, it will not affect the quality of services provided. You are solely responsible for understanding the content of our Services and website.
18.4.6 We, in our absolute discretion, will determine when the Markets are open for betting purposes and reserve the right to close the Markets at any time. We aim to settle Markets as quickly as possible, although we give no assurances as to the timeframe in which Markets will be settled.
18.4.7 You are entirely responsible for the information you provide when placing a bet on our Exchange. Therefore, you are advised to ensure the accuracy of such information before placing a bet. When placing a bet on our Exchange, it is your responsibility to satisfy yourself that you use sensible information. We will not enquire as to the reasonableness of any bets placed by you.
18.4.8 It is your responsibility to ensure that you are sufficiently aware of how to use the extensive range of trading tools we offer and ensure the correctness of any entries you make while using our Exchange. We will not be liable for any errors made by you in this respect.
18.4.9 In our sole and absolute discretion, we may decide to suspend betting on a Market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by our Exchange Rules and Regulations). To protect and maintain the integrity and fairness of our Markets, certain bets or the whole Market in its entirety may be voided.
18.4.10 You accept that customised programs (bots), designed to place bets automatically within certain parameters, may be active in any or all Markets at any time. You will not assume that bets on quiet Markets will not be automatically matched simply because the Market otherwise appears quiet. If you use a bot, you accept that they might be prone to exploitation by other users who may be using bots and you will not hold us liable in any way, for any losses experienced as a result of their use. Bet Ltd may use bots to participate in gambling on its behalf.
18.4.11 We reserve the right to restrict you from using "bots" if we believe that you have used a bot:
a. to the detriment of our business;
b. to place other users at a disadvantage;
c. to place bets on or manipulate any Market which has the purpose or effect of adversely affecting the integrity of the Exchange or any Market therein.
Where we are required to do so by applicable law, or in our absolute discretion, we may in certain circumstances restrict your access to our website and Services, suspend or close your Account, remove your offers for bets, void any matched bets outstanding on your Account or cancel any unmatched bets. These circumstances include but are not limited to when:
a. a technological failure is present;
b. we have serious grounds and valid reasons to suspect fraudulent or illegal activity, including collusion or cheating by you (you are responsible for any losses and/or expenses that we suffer as a result of such activities);
c. you have (or we suspect you may have) breached any part of these Terms and Conditions or our Exchange Rules and Regulations;
d. we believe you are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the image of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties;
e. we have serious grounds to suspect that information from our website and Services have been used by you for commercial purposes;
f. we have the right to do so as set out in our Exchange Rules and Regulations or other policies as we may from time to time determine.
Underage gambling is a criminal offence and will not be tolerated on our Exchange under any circumstances. If we believe that you are under the age of 18, or that you were under 18 when you placed any bets on the Exchange, we shall as soon as possible:
We have a commitment to promote responsible gambling for our users by putting in place tools to enable you to manage your gambling. These include tools such as deposit and loss limits, time outs and self-exclusion. For more information, please refer to our Responsible Gambling Policy.
18.8.1 You may cancel any unmatched bets at any time when the Market is open. This is done manually by you whilst you are logged in to your Account.
18.8.2 You must be aware that bets might be wholly or partially matched during the time that you go to cancel them, and that no bet is cancelled either wholly or in part until you see confirmation in your Account.
18.8.3 Any unmatched bet that is not marked as “keep at in-play” will be cancelled when a Market is turned in play or, for example with football, on the occurrence of a material event. When you edit a bet, and submit it at a new price, the old bet at the original price is effectively cancelled.
There are no maximum or minimum size of bets should you wish to bet on our Exchange. The only restriction is that any bet must be at least 0.01 GBP (1p) and to win at least 0.01 GBP (1p).
18.10.1 All bets will be settled in accordance with our Exchange Rules and Regulations. Should any Market be deemed to have been settled unfairly or incorrectly, we reserve the absolute right to amend the settlement.
18.10.2 Your balance will be adjusted to reflect any resettlement and this could cause, in certain circumstances, your Account to go into a negative balance. Should this be the case, you are required to cover the full sum of any negative balance.
18.11.1 In-play betting (or ‘in-running’ or ‘live betting’ as it is also known) is betting while the event is actually taking place. For example, placing a bet on a horse race while the race is being run, or on a football match whilst the match is being played. In-play bets will usually be subject to a time delay. Any such delay will be laid out in our Exchange Rules and Regulations.
18.11.2 We reserve the right to cancel any in-play bets that we believe have been placed unfairly, or in a way that conflicts with the transparency of our Exchange. For example, if we believe that bets have been matched on an already pre-determined outcome, or if we suspect bets have been matched between two known parties to transfer money between them in a way that might be dishonest, or for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing.
On selected Markets, we may provide you with third party data in the form of live scores, streaming, or statistics. We do this in an attempt to enhance your experience with us.
Where we provide access to third-party data, we give no guarantee as to the accuracy, quality, completeness or latency of this information. Any user that makes use of this data does so entirely at their own risk and Bet Ltd takes no warranty of any kind as to actions taken based on such information.
Please be aware that any information described as “live”, may be subject to delays over and above any bet delay applied on a Market. We advise users to take extreme caution when placing bets on live Markets, as they are solely liable for the outcome of those bets.
