13.1.1 All In-Play bets are only confirmed after an uninterrupted pending period has completed and the bet has not been cancelled or made void for any reason, including market suspension.

13.1.2 With Tote Pool betting a TIN is generated when the bet is submitted to the Tote Pool but acceptance is only confirmed once the bet status has changed from “pending” to “running” in Your List of Bets.

13.1.3 if a Tote Pool bet has been placed via our Telebetting Service, then acceptance is at the point that the operator has verbally confirmed the bet details and then placed the bet in the Tote Pool. Any Tote Pool bet that has not been officially transmitted into the Tote Pool, during this process, will be deemed void.

13.2 By accepting the Terms, You acknowledge that the following conditions comprise part of our bet acceptance terms:

13.2.1 Bet placement is not prohibited by any term of Your employment contract or any Sport’s Governing Body rule which applies to You;

13.2.2 You are not aware of any circumstances which would make the placing of the bet a breach of a betting rule being applied by a sport’s governing body; and

13.2.3 Where the bet is placed on the outcome of an event or process or on the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring during an event, You do not know the outcome of the event.

14. BREACH OF TERMS

14.1 You agree fully to indemnify, defend and hold us, and our officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and suppliers, harmless immediately on demand, from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses including legal fees, arising out of any breach of the Terms by You or any other liabilities arising out of Your access and use of the Service (or by anyone else using Your Access Information and/or accessing Your account).

14.2 Any breach will be regarded as a material breach and entitle us to terminate our Agreement with You immediately as outlined in section 7. As a result of Your actions we may use monies in Your account to settle any liabilities we may incur.

15. ERRORS OR OMISSIONS

15.1 While every effort is made to ensure there are no errors or omissions in respect of the Service, the nature of human error or system problems means such circumstances may arise. A non-exhaustive list of “obvious errors” is outlined below:

15.1.1 Odds or terms of a bet or game wager have been misquoted as a result of human error (for example, information being inputted incorrectly or markets being set up incorrectly) or due to computer malfunction;

15.1.2 A bet is accepted at a price or market condition which is significantly different from those available in the market at the time the bet was placed;

15.1.3 In the context of normal betting business, and the probability of the event occurring, A bet is accepted at a price which is obviously incorrect;

15.1.4 Bets have continued to be accepted on a market which should have been suspended, or the market has already closed, which are sometimes referred to as “late bets”;

15.1.5 The amount of winnings, returns or promotional benefits/bonuses paid to You are miscalculated as result of human error or computer malfunction;

15.1.6 Where winnings are so obviously incorrect or materially different to those available in the market that this is a clear error or omission e.g. Full House Win = £2,500 and One Line Win = £6,000;

15.1.7 An error has resulted from a Prohibited Act;

15.1.8 In accordance with product rules, a bet should not have been accepted, or where we have the right to cancel or re-settle.

15.2 If such circumstances arise, we reserve the right to either:

15.2.1 Correct the error on the bet placed and resettle the bet at the correct price or terms which were (or should have been) available with us when the bet was placed; or

15.2.2 Declare the bet void and return the bet stake to Your account where bet resettlement and correction is not reasonably practicable.

15.3 If funds are incorrectly credited to Your account as a result of an error or omission (or otherwise any sum is incorrectly credited to Your account):

15.3.1 You are obliged to notify us;

15.3.2 We reserve the right to deduct or reverse (“Reverse”) any incorrectly applied funds from Your account;

15.3.3 If You use incorrectly credited funds to place bets, we reserve the right to void all such related bets and Reverse any winnings.

15.4 If incorrect stakes are deducted from Your account:

15.4.1 You are obliged to notify us;

15.4.2 We reserve the right to void all such bets and Reverse any winnings.

15.4.3 If bets are placed using winnings related to bet(s) on which incorrect stakes were deducted, we reserve the right to void such bets placed and Reverse any winnings.

15.5 In respect of Reversals, if no such funds are available in Your account to fulfil a Reversal (for example, where the funds have been withdrawn by You), we reserve the right to recover such funds from You (with interest) on demand. If necessary, we are permitted to off-set any subsequent amounts You deposit or win with us to make good this liability.

15.6 Errors relating to Prohibited Acts will be handled in accordance with section 7 of the Terms.

15.7 We shall not be liable for any loss of winnings (or other loss) following errors or omissions by us or by You.

16. TIME CRITICAL EVENTS

16.1 When You access the Service You should be aware that You may be using equipment or a connection which is not as fast as that used by other Customers. This may have an impact on Your performance in time critical events offered on the Service.

16.2 Information in respect of In-Play betting can be found in our Sports Rules.

17. ODDS COMPARISON SITES

17.1 When using odds comparison sites, You are responsible for ensuring that the bet details submitted for acceptance are as actually intended by You, as the bettor.

17.2 Where a bet is accepted, from such a site, as a result of an incorrect link or incorrectly displayed price, the bet will be settled in accordance with the event for which it was actually accepted (as identified in Your List Of Bets). This is unless it has been cancelled, by mutual consent, prior to the start of the event.

18. COMPLAINTS AND DISPUTES

18.1 In this section any enquiry which refers to the general conduct of the licensed activities, other than the settlement of the transaction itself, will remain categorised as an enquiry through the internal complaints procedure until any escalation to the Head of Customer Services (or another senior member of staff where necessary) at which point the matter will be classified as a “Complaint”. Ultimately it will be the response of the Head of Customer Services, where escalated, which represents the final stage of this procedure.

18.2 Where the enquiry refers to the settlement of a betting or gaming transaction, it will become a “Dispute” where:

18.2.1 it is not resolved at the first or second stage of the complaints procedure and is escalated to the Head of Customer Services;

18.2.2 following the response from the Head of Customer Services, the complainant remains dissatisfied and subsequently refers the matter to the applicable external body for adjudication.

18.3 During this process all telephone and e-mail communications with You and any other person may be recorded. If the contents of these communications are disputed, then we will consult these records and these will be key in our decision making process, unless additional evidence is presented.

18.4 During the resolution process You must agree not to reveal the existence or detail of any enquiry, Complaints or Disputes to any third party, which could include discussions in chat rooms or equivalent forums and shall be deemed Confidential Information. In the event of unauthorised disclosure of confidential information, then the resolution process will be put on hold. In these circumstances we will also have the ability to freeze and potentially close Your account.

Complaints Procedure

18.5 The complaints procedure is as follows:

Stage 1

You should initially contact our Customer Support Team and an advisor (the Agent) will investigate the enquiry and respond to it. The Agent will log the call/message and make notes on their response.

Stage 2

Should your enquiry not be resolved at this stage, the matter will be referred to the Agent’s Team/ Line Manager. The Team/ Line Manager will review the matter and communicate their decision to you.

Stage 3

If you still remain dissatisfied, the matter may be escalated to the Customer Support Manager, at which time your enquiry will be either recorded as a Complaint, or, where the matter relates to a betting or gaming transaction, a Dispute.

Complaints and Disputes Resolution Policy

18.6 The Complaints and Disputes resolution policy is as follows:

Upon receipt of an escalated enquiry, the Customer Support Manager will obtain a report from the nominated Agent and Line/Team Manager as appropriate and carry out any further necessary investigation and respond to you. The response of the Customer Support Manager represents the final stage of the Internal Complaints and Disputes procedure.

Should you remain dissatisfied in relation to a Dispute, you do have the option to escalate the matter externally via an Alternative Dispute Resolution provider. Please see below for more information.

For customers in Great Britain:

You may escalate the matter externally to the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS).

The Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS) acts as an impartial adjudicator on disputes that arise between betting and gambling operators and their customers, after they have been through the operator’s own internal dispute procedures and if deadlock exists.

The IBAS panel of betting experts apply their specialist knowledge to the facts and will adjudicate by reference to these Terms but do not rule on complex legal issues. As well as offering effective dispute resolution procedures, IBAS also check that we have complied with the standards set by the appropriate regulatory bodies and with the IBAS Terms and conditions of registration. IBAS can be contacted at www.ibas-uk.com or via telephone on +44 (0)207 347 5883 or via post at IBAS, PO Box 62639, London EC3P 3AS. You may refer a dispute to IBAS at any time following the conclusion of our review of the dispute, so long as this is within twelve months of the date when the dispute arose.

You may also use the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/) to refer your dispute to IBAS, however, if you choose to use the ODR platform you would not be referring your dispute directly to IBAS and this may then prolong the process of resolving your dispute.

For customers from outside Great Britain:

Our customers, who live and operate their accounts from outside of Great Britain, have the option of raising the matter with the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. For further information on how to contact the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, please access their webpage by clicking here.

19. FRAUD

19.1 Fraud means any fraudulent activity committed by You or any person acting on Your behalf or collusively with You, and includes without limitation attempting to register false or misleading account information, colluding in order to gain an unfair advantage (including in respect of promotional benefits), and the use of funds which do not belong to You, including the use of a payment method which is stolen, cloned, or unauthorised.

19.3 You will be liable to pay us, on demand, all costs, charges or losses experienced by us, as a result of any fraudulent activity by You. This will include any direct, indirect or consequential losses, any loss of profit and loss of reputation, arising directly or indirectly from Your fraud, dishonesty or criminal act.

20. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

20.1 An ‘unfair advantage’ includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:

20.1.2 Unfair Advantage Programs;

20.1.2.1 Unfair Advantage Programs include the use of any application, program or software, or any other advantage by external factors to automatically play.

20.1.2.2 The software employed to both access and use the Service contains certain features designed to detect the use of any application, program or software enabling automatic play.

20.1.3 Exploitation;

20.1.3.1 This includes taking advantage of any fault, error or loophole in the Service (including in respect of any game) or in respect of any errors or omissions.

20.2 Any mechanism which provides a Customer with an unfair advantage and/or puts other players at a disadvantage and goes against our Terms.

20.3 Any suspected unfair advantage may be reported to Customer Services.

20.4 Where possible, registered complaints will be investigated against Customers suspected of gaining an unfair advantage. If we are made aware of suspected behaviour, during play, we may at our sole discretion decide to terminate suspected Customers’ access to the Service and/or freeze their accounts. However under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss experienced by You as a result of the collusive, unlawful, or unfair activity of any person using the Service or software.

21. RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

21.1 We recognise that although for most gambling is fun, for others it can become a problem. You can review the assistance and (as relevant) controls available and understand just how seriously we take this issue on our Responsible Gambling page.

21.2 We provide a self-exclusion facility for those wanting to control their gambling. Self-exclusion is a formal process whereby You request us to prevent You from being able to access Your account and the Service for a specified period.

21.3 Self-exclusion may also be extended to selected Coral Shops and ‘In Shop’ Coral Connect accounts as directed by the prevailing terms at the time.

21.4 The terms applicable to self-exclusion, and more information about how to request the facility can be found on our Responsible Gambling page and from Customer Services.

21.5 It is important that You are aware of the following self-exclusion terms:

21.5.1 You cannot revoke, rescind or withdraw a self-exclusion agreement prior to the stated expiry date. New Coral Group accounts of any kind may not be opened with regards to Coral, Gala Bingo and Gala Casino.

21.5.2 During Your self-exclusion period, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that You will no longer receive marketing materials. We will also employ reasonable automated checks to endeavour to ensure that You can no longer transact with Coral Group remote accounts with regards to Coral, Gala Bingo and Gala Casino.

21.5.3 During Your self-exclusion period, You have an equal undertaking not to seek to circumvent the self-exclusion agreement by entering or continuing (or asking a 3rd party on Your behalf) to participate in gambling and betting services via Coral Group remote operations offered by Coral, Gala Bingo and Gala Casino, the Telebetting Service, or land based operations.

21.5.4 During Your self-exclusion period, in the event (or in circumstances that are beyond the Coral Group’s reasonable control):

21.5.4.1 You inadvertently receive marketing material and You continue gambling as a result; and/or

21.5.4.2 You circumvent Your self-exclusion agreement by (including but not limited to) (i) continuing to gamble; or (ii) by opening and operating new accounts; and/or (iii) automated checks and/or IT or software programmes fail to recognise any attempt by You to circumvent Your self-exclusion:

• (a) The Coral Group shall have no responsibility or liability to You or any third party and is therefore under no obligation to return any deposits, winnings, or other funds in respect of such activity online;
• (b) The Coral Group and its employees will not be liable and/or will be released from any liability claims for losses You should suffer in the event of circumventing Your agreement in a Coral Shop. Any bets inadvertently accepted in a Coral Shop will stand, win or lose unless cancelled by mutual consent prior to the start of the first event.

21.6 Other facilities to help You manage Your gambling and the applicable Terms are included on our Responsible Gambling page.

21.7 We will take all reasonable measures to ensure that any limits (for example, deposit, time or spend) set to help manage Your gambling are observed. However, we will not be liable to You if You circumvent our procedures and continue activity beyond the terms of any limits set.

21.8 Online “GAMSTOP” Self-Exclusion Service

21.8.1 In addition to our own internal self-exclusion facility detailed in paragraph 21.2, we are registered with the self-exclusion service provided by The National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited (“GAMSTOP”). Successfully registering with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will prevent you from accessing all online gambling websites and apps run by companies licensed as members of the service. You can find out more details about the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service by visiting www.gamstop.co.uk.

21.8.2 In circumstances where you successfully register to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service, we will take all reasonable steps, whilst your self-exclusion is “active”, to prevent you from accessing your online accounts, or opening new online accounts, using our online gambling website, telebetting service and apps (this will also include opening/accessing accounts in-shop in circumstances where these accounts are linked to your online accounts).

21.8.3 We are only able to operate self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service on the basis of information you provide to GAMSTOP as part of your registration to use the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service. We will not be responsible for any failure on our part to spot any errors made by you or GAMSTOP when providing this information.

21.8.4 You are reminded that it is in your interests to provide GAMSTOP with truthful and accurate details, consistent with those which you use/have used to set up any online accounts with us. It is your responsibility to keep the information provided to GAMSTOP up to date. We will not be responsible for you failing to keep this information up to date.

21.8.5 The GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent you from accessing those online accounts that match the details you have provided to GAMSTOP as part of your self-exclusion application. Similarly, the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service will only prevent you from opening new online accounts where the personal information you provide to us matches the details you have provided to GAMSTOP as part of your self-exclusion application. We will not therefore be responsible for failing to prevent access to your online accounts or prohibiting the opening of new online accounts, in circumstances where inaccurate, inconsistent and/or incomplete information is provided to us and/or GAMSTOP.

21.8.6 Please note that under the Terms of Use you agree with GAMSTOP, your self-exclusion will be activated as soon as possible after your application has been processed. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to do this within 24 hours, this cannot be guaranteed. However, once the self-exclusion has been successful and is activated on GAMSTOP’s operating systems, the self-exclusion will take effect on our operating systems (albeit you are strongly advised to also inform us of your participation in the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service – please see paragraph [21.8.8] below).

21.8.7 To ensure that you get the full benefit of the self-exclusion facility available under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service, you are advised to also contact the online gambling operators you use to confirm that your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful. You can contact us by email at the following addresses:

21.8.7.1 Ladbrokes: Responsiblegambling@ladbrokes.co.uk

21.8.7.2 Coral: Responsible.Gambling@Coral.co.uk

21.8.7.3 Gala: Responsiblegambling@galacoral.com

21.8.8 When contacting us to confirm that your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful, please confirm the following information (you are reminded that the information you provide to us and GAMSTOP must be accurate, consistent and complete to ensure you can fully benefit from the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service):

21.8.8.1 name;

21.8.8.2 online account username;

21.8.8.3 address; and

21.8.8.4 date of birth.

21.8.9 By contacting us to confirm that your application to register with the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service has been successful, we will be able to put in place measures and arrangements for the following:

21.8.10 subject to our rights under any terms and conditions you have agreed with us permitting us to withhold any funds from your online accounts, the full balance of your online accounts will be returned to you within 10 working days via the current active payment method linked to your online accounts (albeit please note that in circumstances where you have any outstanding bets in place at that point at which your self-exclusion takes effect on our operating systems, due to the outcome not yet being determined, any potential returns due from these bets will be returned within 10 working days of the outcome being decided); and

21.8.11 you will not receive from us any direct online marketing materials in relation to our online products, promotions and/or services.

21.8.12 After expiry of the minimum exclusion period agreed between you and GAMSTOP, you will be required to contact GAMSTOP direct to arrange for your self-exclusion to be deactivated. Whilst GAMSTOP make every effort to deactivate your self-exclusion as soon as possible, this cannot be guaranteed. Please note that we cannot process deactivation on your behalf. All requests to GAMSTOP for deactivation of your self-exclusion will also be subject to a 24 hour “cooling-off” period. Once your self-exclusion has been successfully deactivated, you will be able to access your online accounts/open new online accounts with us. In circumstances where you do not contact GAMSTOP to deactivate your self-exclusion after the period of exclusion you have agreed with GAMSTOP expires, your self-exclusion will continue for a further 7 years, after which the self-exclusion will be deactivated.

21.8.13 You agree not to attempt to open new online accounts, log into any of your existing online accounts, or in any other way try to circumvent GAMSTOP’s or our operating systems/mechanisms for the duration of your self-exclusion. The GAMSTOP self-exclusion service is intended to assist you with responsibly managing your online gambling with us. As confirmed in GAMSTOP’s Terms of Use, the service is not intended to function as a replacement for willpower, is not “foolproof” and we cannot therefore guarantee that it will always result in you being denied access to your online accounts, or refused when applying to open new online accounts.

21.8.14 Having implemented reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure that whilst you are self-excluded under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service you cannot access an existing online account or open a new online account with us, we cannot be held liable to you or any third party if you are able to continue to gamble using our online gambling website, telebetting service and/or apps (this will also include opening/accessing accounts in-shop in circumstances where these are linked to your online accounts).

21.8.15 In addition, in no circumstances will we be liable to you or any third party if you are able to access your online accounts or open new online accounts during a period of self-exclusion under the GAMSTOP self-exclusion service for reasons outside of our reasonable control. This will include circumstances where the operating systems utilised by GAMSTOP fail to properly and/or instantaneously identify you and/or your online accounts as subject to self-exclusion when you attempt to use our online gambling website, telebetting service and/or apps (this will also include when you try to open/access accounts in-shop in circumstances where these are linked to your online accounts).

22. IT FAILURE

23. ALTERATION OF THE SERVICE

23.1 To ensure the continued provision of the Service, and dependent on our good judgement, we may at any time decide to carry out software maintenance or modify the Service.

23.2 As a result of maintenance requirements and/or a change to the Service, we may restrict, from time to time, Your access to the Service (in whole or in part). We will try, although we cannot guarantee, to undertake these modifications or maintenance requirements during times which minimise the impact upon our Customers.

24. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

24.1 To enable the use of certain third party products on the Service, the required software will need to be made available to You. We will licence, or sub-licence, this software to You depending on whether or not it is owned by a third party.

25. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

25.1 If events occur which are outside our reasonable control then we will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms. If any such events should arise our obligations will be suspended for the duration of the applicable event. The time for performing these obligations will then be extended by a period commensurate to the duration of such event.
