A minimum deposit of £10 and a maximum of £5000 per transaction may be made using any of our accepted payment methods.

6.6 Deposit Delays

We will aim to credit your Account as soon as we receive a successful notification from our payment provider.

We will only investigate any missing deposit upon you providing evidence (such as a bank statement) and after 48 hours have lapsed since the attempt.

7. Wagering

7.1 Game Rules

Game rules, paytables, return to player percentages (RTPs), and further relevant information can be found within the game interface upon loading the Game (for Casino Games) and within the bingo lobby (for Bingo Games). You must familiarise yourself with the details of each Game before Wagering. If you have any questions, you should contact our support team before you commence Wagering.

7.2 Balance Vs Bonus Funds

Your Account interface (displayed following Account log-in) contains a separate display for balance and bonus funds (also known as the balance and bonus meters). The balance funds display represents your money and includes the funds you have deposited and the wins and losses resulting from Wagering these deposits. Balance funds will always be Wagered first. You can request a withdrawal from your balance funds at any time.

Bonus funds belong to us and cannot be withdrawn. Subject to our bonus terms and conditions, you may Wager bonus funds on the Games. Upon meeting the necessary Wagering requirements, the associated bonus funds will be transferred to your balance meter and become your funds (also known as a bonus cashout). Bonus cashouts are subject to a maximum amount as detailed in 8.10 of these Terms.

Our Games interface (displayed upon loading a Casino Game or the Bingo Lobby) may display balance and bonus as one combined value; in such cases, you will be provided with a notification when you switch from using balance to bonus funds. If you are unsure of the total value of your playing fund meters, please check your Account pages or contact our support team before commencing further play.

7.3 Demo wagering is not valid

In no instance would Wagering in "demo" or "play for fun" mode entitle a player to real Winnings.

7.4 Acceptance of Wagers

By Wagering using your Account funds, you acknowledge that you may lose money and accept full responsibility for any loss.

7.5 Confirmed Wagers

A Wager is only considered valid following the generation of a unique identification number (game-Id) on our game server and the deduction of the relevant stake. Stakes will be deducted from your Account when placing your Wager, no matter when the result is determined. We cannot cancel or refund Wagers once they have been confirmed unless the Wager is declared void for reasons outlined in these Terms.  

We reserve the right to accept or decline the whole or part of any proposed Wager.

7.6 Errors and Cancellations

We shall not be liable for any errors with respect to Wagers, Winnings or incorrect credits to your Account balance where we have sufficient reason to believe that any of the following has occurred:

a)    There is an obvious error in a pay table or any other typographical or photographic error
b)    A technical issue that causes a game/feature/promotion to payout (or display) a higher amount that should be paid out under standard configuration/operating
c)    A technical issue whereby Wagers have been allowed that would not have been accepted during the period the Games were not affected by technical problems
d)    Any error, such as human or systemic mistake, made by an employee or contractor, including any erroneous account credit
e)    The Player has or is abusing a technical glitch related to the Games or software, either on his own or in association with others

In the case of any occurrence listed above, we are entitled to deduct any Winnings, Bonus or incorrect Account credit you may have received. We also reserve the right to amend your Account balance to restore your Account to its state before the erroneous activity (listed above).

7.7 Wagering Outcome

You fully accept and agree that independently verified Random Number Generator software will determine the outcome of your Wagers on the relevant Games and that the records of such software will be final and conclusive.

If there is any discrepancy between your understanding of the result of a Wager and the actual outcome, the result recorded on our game server is considered the correct outcome.

7.8 Aborted Games

If your Game is interrupted after the placing of a Wager, we shall take all reasonable steps to complete the Game and resolve your Wager. If completion of the Game is not possible, that Game shall be deemed void, and the Wager amount will be credited back to your Account.

7.9 Maximum Payout

The maximum amount that we shall be obliged to pay to you in respect of any one Wager or Game round shall be limited to £250,000

This condition excludes any Progressive Jackpots.

7.10 Game Wagering History

Recent game history is available from the My Account section of the Website and may also be available from the Game Interface or Bingo lobby. Players may request an entire game wagering history by contacting support.

7.11 Bingo Games Terms of Use

8. Bonuses

8.1 Bonus Definitions

A Free Bonus is a bonus that can be redeemed without the need to deposit.

A Reload Bonus is a bonus that requires one or more deposits within a specified time to be redeemed.

Bonus Spins are free game rounds on selected casino games. Bonus Spins may be included in promotional offers with or without a deposit requirement.

A Welcome Bonus is a combined Reload Bonus, and Bonus Spins offer only available to new players and offered on initial deposits.

8.2 Bonus Terms

All bonuses are subject to our general bonus terms and conditions, which can be found on our Bonus Terms and Conditions page. Specific bonuses may carry additional bonus/promotional terms and conditions, which will be presented alongside the bonus/promotional offer or (if there is limited space) via a link to a Website page.

8.3 Wagering Requirements

Most of our bonuses are subject to wagering requirements, which need to be completed before the bonus can be transferred to your balance funds, from where it can be withdrawn. Wagering requirements will be made clear in the specific terms and conditions of the bonus and displayed to you in the My Account or Bonus section of the Website. Wagering on some games may not contribute or contribute at a lower rate towards the wagering requirement; a list of these games can be found on our Bonus Terms and Conditions page.

8.4 Wagering Requirement Example

If you receive a bonus of £10 with a 40x (times) wagering requirement, you will be required to wager £400 using that bonus before the bonus is unlocked and the current bonus value is transferred to your balance meter. Until the wagering requirements are met, all Winnings from Wagering with this bonus will be returned to your bonus balance and will not be eligible for withdrawal. Full details can be found on our Bonus Terms and Conditions page. Maximum bonus cashout (typically £250) applies upon meeting wagering requirements, as per term 8.10.

8.5 Wagering Order

Funds in the balance (cash) meter will always be wagered first. Once the balance meter is fully consumed, bonus funds can be used.

Specific bonuses (such as deposit bonuses) will expire should a withdrawal be requested from balance funds, and the wagering requirements for that bonus have not been completed. We will attempt to provide a warning message to inform the Player of any bonus forfeiture before they confirm their withdrawal request.

8.6 Bonus funds are non-withdrawable

Funds in your bonus meter belong to us and do not represent your cash (withdrawable) balance.

All Winnings from your bonus funds will be credited to the corresponding bonus amount until the wagering requirements for that bonus are completed.

You will not be able to withdraw any winnings won with the bonus until you have met the wagering requirements of that bonus and the funds are transferred to your balance amount, subject to a maximum bonus cashout value, as detailed in 8.10 of these Terms and conditions or as specified in individual bonus correspondence.  

Suppose a Wager uses the funds of multiple bonuses at the same time. In that case, the wagering will solely contribute towards the first bonus.

8.7 Additional Bonuses and Promotions

We may provide complimentary promotions to our Players, either applied directly to an Account or through mechanisms such as offering the facility for members to participate in bonus games and promotions. Applying a promotion or bonus to a Player's Account does not oblige us to make any similar payment or offer to any other Player.

8.8 Validity and Expiry

Unless otherwise indicated in the bonus/promotional correspondence, a bonus is intended for the addressed recipient or category of recipient only and cannot be transferred. If you are not the intended recipient or within the intended category of recipient, then the offer is void. The promotion or online correspondence may also indicate a period after which the bonus will expire. If an account is inactive for three months or more, any bonus on that Account will be automatically removed by Bingostars and deemed to be forfeited.

8.9 Bonus Abuse

If we have sufficient evidence to suggest that you are abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or promotion by violating the specific or general bonus terms that have been made clear on our Website or promotional correspondence, we are entitled to void that bonus and any winnings associated with it, as well as excluding you from participation in future bonus or promotional offers.

Bonus or promotional abuse may include, but is not limited to:
- creation of multiple accounts
- use of a payment method for the qualifying deposit that is not registered in the name of the account holder
- use of a payment method or account not registered in your name

8.10 Maximum Bonus Cashout

Unless otherwise stated in the relevant bonus terms, the maximum cash out from any individual bonus is £250. If a single bonus cashout value exceeds this amount, it will be adjusted upon transfer to the balance meter.

8.11 Welcome Bonus Terms & Conditions

Full Welcome Bonus Terms & Conditions can be found on our Bonus Terms and Conditions page.

8.12 Bonus Spins

Bonus spins are free game rounds offered in conjunction with certain promotions, such as our Welcome Bonus. Bonus spins are only available on selected games at a pre-selected coin value. All winnings from Bonus Spins will be credited as bonus funds and are subject to a 40x wagering requirement before withdrawal with a maximum cashout value of £250 unless otherwise stated.  Any win exceeding this amount will be automatically adjusted. Full details can be found on our Bonus Terms and Conditions page.

8.13 Excluded Payment Methods

Any Reload Bonuses or Bonus Spins, including our Welcome Bonus package, are not available on pre-paid card or e-wallet (Neteller and Skrill) deposits.  

9. Withdrawals

9.1 Withdrawal requests

You are entitled to withdraw your balance funds at any time. You may request to withdraw your balance via our Website, subject to a minimum of £10. Withdrawals of less than £10 can be requested via the support team. The balance funds shown in your Account are reflective of the amount that you can withdraw and will not be subject to any conditions outside of those detailed in this Agreement.

9.2 Withdrawal Timescales

You should receive your withdrawal within five working days. We do not accept any liability which may result from you receiving your withdrawal outside of our standard timescales.

9.3 Withdrawal Payout Method

We will attempt to return withdrawals to the deposit method that we consider to be the origin of those funds. If the source of your deposit cannot be established, then we may conduct Verification checks.

9.4 Unsuccessful Withdrawals

You are responsible for ensuring that your account and payment details are correct. We may not be able to retrieve or resend payments that have failed due to incorrect information given by you.

We are not responsible for payout requests that your payment method/bank declined, and we may not receive notification of these failed withdrawals. You agree to contact our support team to notify us if you have not received your withdrawal within five working days of your withdrawal request.

9.5. Reversal of Withdrawals

You are not permitted to reverse/cancel withdrawals after they have been requested. You agree to contact us if you notice a withdrawal has been restored to your Account balance. If you fail to notify us, we are not liable for any losses that may occur from withdrawn funds that have been erroneously restored to your balance because of technical or processing errors.

9.6 Maximum withdrawal amounts

You may request a withdrawal for your entire balance at any time.

10. Progressive Jackpots

10.1 Progressive Jackpot Availability

We may participate in pooled progressive jackpots across networks owned and operated by our Service Providers. Jackpot Rules are made available as part of the game information of the relevant jackpot games and should be reviewed by the Player before they commit to gamble.

10.2 Progressive Jackpot Winnings

Progressive jackpot wins of less than 1 million will be added to the Player account within 48 hours. Progressive Jackpot prize wins exceeding 1 million GBP may take up to 60 days to be paid out due to verification requirements and payment being made to us from the Service Provider.

10.3 Progressive Jackpot Accuracy

The progressive value on the server is used when the progressive is paid out. A slight discrepancy between the website display and the game server may arise due to the delay between the initial progressive being displayed to the Player and the progressive that is won and paid out. Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible for the jackpot to be won by more than one Player during the delay period mentioned above. If more than one Player wins a progressive jackpot simultaneously, then the Player recorded on our servers as having won the jackpot first shall be the recipient, and the subsequent Player (s) shall win the value of the jackpot when reset. In the improbable event of the server recording a win truly simultaneously, the Operator reserves the right to share the jackpot equally between the winning players.

11. Responsible Gambling

11.1 Responsible Gambling Page

We take the issue of responsible gambling very seriously, and we are committed to providing a safe and fun gaming service. To read more about Responsible Gambling, please visit our Play Safe Page. We encourage you to engage with our Play Safe tools.

11.2 Responsible Gambling Checks

We may undertake various checks on your details to identify indicators of problem gambling. These checks may include referencing open-source information and credit reference agencies. You can find further details on credit reference agencies via the Credit Reference Agency Information Notice.

We may request Source of Funds or Source of Wealth documents, as set out in Section 5 of these terms and conditions, to help ensure that you are not gambling at a harmful level.

11.3 Interaction

If we are concerned about your gambling, we may interact with you via phone call, live chat or online questionnaire. Interactions help us to build a better profile and assist you in gambling responsibly. You are responsible for ensuring the information provided to us during these interactions is complete and accurate, and we accept no liability for decisions or actions taken because of incorrect information provided by you.

11.4 Enforced Measures

We may apply limitations or restrict your Account to help you with responsible gambling. Enforced measures include deposit limits, timeouts and account closure, and may be applied on an automated basis. You may contact our support team to contest any enforced measures.

11.5 Deposit Limits

You may set a deposit limit on your Account during registration or at any time via the Play Safe page or through contacting support. Deposit limits can be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Our deposit limits work on a "rolling" basis. For example, if you reach your daily deposit limit, you will not be able to deposit until a full day (24 hours) has passed. The deposit limit is only effective for the Account on which it is set on this Website and will not apply to other sites under our Licence. Any increase or removal of responsible gambling limits is subject to a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period and confirmation following this cool-off.

11.6 Reality Check

You can set a periodic in-game notification (known as a reality check) to remind you of the total playing time and provide links to view profit and loss and the option to terminate the Game.

The reality check interval is applied to individual gaming sessions rather than a log-in session. The timer will begin when a casino game or live casino lobby is loaded and end when the Game is closed.

11.7 Self-Exclusion

On self-exclusion request, we will allow close all Accounts registered in your name for a minimum of 6 months. During that time, it will not be possible for the Account (s) to be re-opened for any reason. We will automatically remove you from any mailing lists that we operate within 24 hours. You can self-exclude via our Play Safe page or by contacting our support team.   

We will use the details provided by you to exclude you from all websites we operate within 24 hours. We are not liable for losses on any other account held by you during these 24 hours. We are not responsible should you create or use an Account with different details personal details (including name, address, date of birth, email address and phone number).

When adding a self-exclusion period, we recommend that you consider self-exclusion from any available gambling facilities and seek further advice from the help organisations detailed on our Play Safe page.

Upon self-exclusion, all future wagers, stage-saved games, bonus funds and entries in any promotions will be voided. We will not be able to reinstate these if the Account is re-opened after the self-exclusion period. All remaining balances, less active bonuses, will be returned to your deposit method.  

Accounts closed as part of our self-exclusion policy cannot be re-opened until the self-exclusion time has elapsed.

Upon the expiry of the self-exclusion period, you may request to re-open your Account by contacting our support team. Requests to re-open an account with an expired self-exclusion period are subject to a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period.

We are entitled to extend self-exclusion periods if we are concerned about problem gambling.

Software is available from various organisations to assist you with self-exclusion. Please visit https://www.begambleaware.co.uk and https://www.gamcare.org.uk/ for more information.

11.8 Time Out

You may request a time out on your Account via the Play Safe page or by contacting support.  A timeout can be requested for 24 hours, one week or another reasonable period, up to a maximum of 6 weeks. Upon receipt of your time out request, reasonable measures will be taken to ensure the same status is applied to all Accounts held by the Player across our Licence within 24 hours. We are not liable for losses on any other Account held by you during these 24 hours. We are not liable should you create a new account with different details.

To re-open your Account following a timeout, you should contact our support team.

Any bonuses lost due to expiry during a time out period cannot be reinstated.

11.9 GAMSTOP

We participate in the GAMSTOP multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. We check all players against the GAMSTOP database upon registration, log-in and via daily batch check.
