The name associated with your payment method (for example the name on your credit/debit card, or e-wallet account details) must match your first name / surname at all times. You must only use your own payment methods in your registered name to make deposits and request withdrawals. We reserve the right to void all activity where two persons' (married, common law partners or friends) payment method details are registered.
3.2 International Activity
Some countries prohibit or limit some or all of the forms of gambling available on this site.

We reserve the right to invalidate accounts if we find a player is less than the minimum age and we may request additional information to confirm a player's age at any time.

3.6 Age and Identity Verification
When considering member registrations and certain prize winning withdrawal transactions, the Operator reserves the right to use an independent reference agency to verify your age and identity. This enables accounts to be opened more quickly, reduces the need to obtain age and identification documents and assists us with our crime and fraud prevention programme.
3.7 Secure Communications

The Operator's employees and Service Provider's employees do NOT have access to your full debit/credit card details.

Upon Acceptance of your Registration you will be issued a personal account and confirmation of your registration.

In this instance, unused balances will be refunded to account holders, subject to the terms and conditions and the Operator's obligations under the Act.
3.9 Illegal Wagering is Void

The Operator executes transactions in secure mode using Thawte certification, so any personal and financial details you submit are encrypted during transmission.

3.15 Online Wagering Only
You may only place wagers for the Games through this website or other online mechanisms that may be provided from time to time (for example from a mobile application or browser). Attempts to place wagers through any other medium, including telephone, fax or post, will not be accepted.
3.16 Interest on Player Account Funds
The Operator is NOT a financial institution. Interest will not be payable on monies held in Player accounts as these are deemed to be advance payments for intended wagering.
3.17 Up to Date Personal Details
It is your responsibility to ensure that your personal details are kept up to date, including your name, place of residence, telephone number, and valid email address. If necessary we will contact you at your registered email address, by phone, or by letter. We will phone your mobile number in preference to your home number, if you register your mobile number.
3.18 Player Responsibility for Keeping Player Details Secure
Your account number, password and personal question details are issued for your personal use and should be kept private at all times. Players are responsible for all gaming transactions actioned through their account where the correct account number, password and personal question details have been entered by the person wagering.
3.19 Login / Logout Feature
Wagers should only be made by the account holder. Players can use a log out button on the left hand navigation to log out quickly from any page on the website. The Software Systems also normally (though without creating an obligation to do so) automatically log out an account holder where no activity has been recorded on the Games server for more than 30 minutes.
3.20 Contacting the Operator if Player Details believed no Longer Secure
Players are also responsible for keeping accurate details provided at registration up to date. You can access and amend your own individual account information by clicking on "My Account Details" in the "My Account" area of the site. As a security measure, you may have to contact Customer Support prior to being able to change certain credit or debit card information.
3.21 Closing Player Accounts
The Operator reserves the right to close an account at any time without explanation. Unused balances will be refunded to account holders, subject to the terms and conditions and the Operator's obligations under the Act.
3.22 Suspicious Transactions
It is unlawful to deposit, or attempt to deposit, funds obtained from ill-gotten means. All transactions are checked. If the Operator determines or suspects that a transaction is suspicious and involves or may involve financial crime or similar activity, the Operator reserves the right to retain the amount of that transaction and any other transaction made by you. The Operator shall be under no obligation to provide you with any reasons for so doing. The Operator has the obligation under the Act to report suspicious activity to the Authority.
3.23 Dormant Accounts
In the event that no transaction has been recorded on a Player's account for thirty months, the Operator reserves the right to close the account and remit the balance using the last known details of the player. In the event that the player cannot be satisfactorily located the Operator has the obligation under the Act to remit the balance to the Authority. No claim shall lie against the Operator in the event the balance is remitted to the Authority in these circumstances.
3.24 Transfer of accounts and funds between accounts
It is prohibited for a player to sell, transfer or acquire accounts to or from other players, or to attempt to do so. It is prohibited for funds to be transferred between accounts.
4 Welcome Bonus Terms and Conditions
This bonus is a first time sign up bonus that is applied to members FIRST DEPOSIT ONLY. This cannot be combined with any other bonus or promotion nor can it be given to future deposits.
4.1 In the event a member deposits an amount that does not qualify for a bonus they will NOT be able to claim the bonus on subsequent deposits that would have qualified for a bonus.
4.2 Qualifying players will have their account credited with the bonus providing their deposit meets the minimum and maximum deposit requirements.
4.3 The following types of bonus are defined as follows: EXACT BONUS - Bonus amount is a fixed value. CASH MATCH EXACT - Bonus amount is equal to the player's deposit. CASH MATCH PERCENTAGE - Bonus amount is a percentage of the player's deposit. A 50% Cash Match would be a bonus equal to half the player's deposit. PRIZE POINT BONUS - Player receives 1000 prize points for every pound / dollar etc they deposit.
4.4 Players are allowed ONE active account. Winnings will only be processed to players who have one account. If a player has more than one account, all winnings will be VOID. If the name on a players account does not match the name on the credit card(s) used to make deposits to the account, all winnings for that account will be VOID. Any abuse or fraudulent activity or any bonuses awarded or offered, will result in the account to be closed and any winnings will immediately be VOID.
4.5 Members are required to wager FOUR times the total amount deposited (member deposit [capped at the maximum potential promotional bonus amount] + promotional bonus) BEFORE it will be possible to make a withdrawal. Wagers made on Blackjack, Roulette, Jacks or Better, Progressive Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Five Hand Video Poker, Deuces Wild VP, Aces and Faces, Deuces and Joker VP and Colour Wheel will not contribute to the wagering requirements with respect to the withdrawal of funds.
4.6 All bonus amounts are for wagering purposes only. No withdrawal will be honoured for an amount less than the sign up bonus. Upon a member's FIRST withdrawal (regardless of the number of deposits), any amount up to the equivalent value of the PLAY BONUS will be deducted from the members account prior to settlement.
4.7 The initial amount wagered by a member will be deducted from their initial deposit(s) rather than from the bonus amount. In all cases a member must make a withdrawal (or spend the bonus) within fourteen days from when the bonus was credited or such bonus credits will be deducted from your play balance at our sole discretion.
4.8 All withdrawals will be subject to audit before being processed. The Operator reserves all rights to void bonuses or any winnings for failed audits. The Operator reserves the right to modify these rules or cancel this promotion at its sole discretion.
4.9 By participating in this bonus, you agree to be bound by these rules and to the decisions of the Operator (whose decisions are final and binding in all respects). This bonus is subject to our official Terms and Conditions, which shall be binding in all cases. You must comply at all times with the standards and/or laws in any jurisdiction where you are located or residing.
4.10 Any applicable taxes and fees in connection with any winnings awarded to you are your sole responsibility. If you have any further questions regarding this promotion, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
4.11 The Operator reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to provide additional bonuses or complimentary payments to players either applied directly to the account or through mechanisms such as offering the facility for players to participate in bonus games. The application of a bonus or "comp" to a player's account or the offering of bonus games does not oblige the Operator to make any similar payment or offer to any other player.
5 Acceptance and Validation of Wagering
5.1 Playing for Real
In order to "play for real", a player must wager from funds that are in their member account maintained by the Operator. In no instance would wagering with prize points entitle a player to win cash jackpots or prizes. Similarly all wagering is void if on review the player has never successfully deposited funds into their account, nor received a bonus.
5.2 Confirmed Wagers
In order for a wager to be valid you must receive confirmation from us that the wager has been made. A confirmation message will appear on the screen. The wager will have been deemed confirmed when it registers on your Account Details page, accessed via the "My Account" button at the bottom of the screen. The Operator cannot cancel wagers once they have been confirmed by the Operator in your account unless the wager is declared void for reasons outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
5.3 Accurate Wagering Records
Despite every effort to ensure total accuracy, the Operator does not accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in respect of information provided on the site. Wagers based on incorrect odds will be void.
5.4 Deduction of Wagers / Unresolved Wagers
Stakes (the cost of a wager) will be deducted from your account at the time of placing your bet, no matter when the result is determined. The Operator cannot refund bets placed on games where bets have been purchased for future plays that have not yet been settled. Such bets will be resolved and winnings credited to players bank accounts.
5.5 Right of the Operator to cancel/terminate Games
The Operator shall have the right to cancel or terminate game events at its sole discretion. In the event that a game is cancelled or terminated such that it is not possible to resolve the wager then that game shall be deemed null and void and the wager will be credited back to the player account.
5.6 Right of the Operator to postpone Games
The Operator shall also have the right to postpone games at its sole discretion. In this case any wagers for the postponed games shall still stand and the game will be executed at the new time set by the Operator. In practical terms the postponement of games is likely to only apply to games which follow a schedule and allow prepaying of entry tickets (i.e. as Bingo), though the Operator reserves the right to extend this clause to other games.
6 Prizes, Payment of Winnings, Withdrawal of Funds and Bonus Promotions
6.1 Crediting Winnings
Winnings due on wagering conducted through your account will be added to your current deposit balance automatically. This update of your account is not 'proof of win'. If upon manual review there is evidence of fraud or malpractice, the Operator reserves the right to void certain winnings and to amend player accounts accordingly. You may be contacted by for winnings over GBP 5,000 (£5,000.00).
6.2 Maximum Winnings
The maximum that any one individual member in any 24 hour period can win (excluding any progressive or super jackpot elements to a prize payout) is limited to GBP 25,000 (£25,000.00). Should you exceed this limit in any 24 hour period, any bets made once the limit has been exceeded may be rendered void, at the Operator's discretion and your stakes will be returned to your account without any winnings made on those wagers.
6.3 Rounding of Winnings
The Operator uses a wager multiplier to calculate and accumulate gaming odds and it is therefore possible that with certain games, winning payouts can be displayed for presentational clarity having been rounded down to two decimal places to the nearest currency unit (i.e. pence (GBP) or cents (USD and EUR)). However, the Operator's servers calculate and record the exact decimal value of the accumulated winning payouts and members balances.
6.4 The Operator's Wagering Decision is Final
You agree that the Operator and their records shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any wagers you place and the circumstances in which they were made.
6.5 Malta Licence Fee by the Operator
The Operator will pay any appropriate licence fees to the appropriate tax authorities at the applicable rate.
6.6 Payment Requests
You must submit your request for payment with a preferred payment method, either credit card payment, cheque payment or bank electronic transfer. The Operator reserves the right to choose a preferred payment method and to refuse payment if a person claiming payment is unable to provide evidence proving their eligibility as the named account holder and are authorised to use the payment method used for the original deposit.
6.7 Incorrect Bank Account Details
It is the sole responsibility of the player to submit the correct bank account and sort code details for payment of winnings. The Operator cannot repay incorrect, successful payments due to incorrect details provided by a player. If payment is unsuccessful, the Operator will notify the player and request corrected bank account details.
6.8 Re-issuing Cheques
In the event of a request to re-issue a payment by cheque, the Operator requires 10 working days notice. This is to ensure there have been no delays with the postal service and to review with the banks the cheque's clearance status with us. Once this has been verified the pending cheque will be cancelled and a new cheque reissued.
6.9 Minimum and Maximum Withdrawals
Players can make withdrawals of GBP 10 (£10.00) or above by credit card or bank transfer, cheque withdrawals of GBP 50 (£50.00) or above. Credit card withdrawals are limited to GBP 1,000 (£1,000.00). Bank transfer withdrawals are limited to GBP 3,000 (£3,000.00). EWallet withdrawals to e-wallet systems (e.g. NETeller) are limited to GBP 2,500 (£2,500). Withdrawals may be subject to Proof of Identity checks, though usually only when the accumulative sum of withdrawals exceeds a total limit of GBP 200 (£200.00). In accordance with the Act, no payments in excess of one thousand Malta Liri (approximately GBP 1,600; £1,600) shall be made unless the player's identity age and place of residence have been verified.
6.10 Confirmation of Payment Requests / Account Debiting
Once you have submitted your request you will see a confirmation message that the transfer has been actioned and your balance will immediately clear to zero or to the balance of the amount not withdrawn. If you clear your account down to zero, in order to continue wagering you will be required to transfer a minimum deposit of GBP 10 (£10.00) into your account.
6.11 Payment Authorisation and Payment
We aim to authorise your card, bank transfer or cheque withdrawal request within 24 hours of receipt of your request. For security reasons players making withdrawals may have to provide some additional information to ensure stringent safeguards are maintained. This is to protect our players and ensure no fraudulent activity is carried out and ensure we meet our obligations under the Act.
6.12 International Bank Transfers
Players currently overseas requesting international bank transfers will be sent their withdrawal less any applicable bank transfer fees - usually GBP 10 (£10.00). Alternatively such players currently overseas can opt to receive their withdrawal by cheque in pounds sterling.
6.13 Progressive Jackpots
Players choosing to play progressive jackpot slot or casino games must understand that they have a chance to win the progressive jackpot, normally only if they wager the maximum 'coin' available. A 'Bet Max' button enables players of such games, holding sufficient funds, to ensure they are staking with a chance of winning the progressive jackpot. Progressive Jackpots in the Bingo halls are available to be won by all bingo card holders, regardless of the number of cards purchased.
6.14 Progressive Jackpot Winnings
All progressive winnings will be subject to final confirmation by the Operator. This decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
6.15 Progressive Jackpot Accuracy
The Operator has taken every possible precaution to ensure that the progressive value displayed in the game matches the value on the game server. Please note that it is the progressive value on the server that is used when the progressive is paid out. A small discrepancy may arise due to the delay between the initial progressive being displayed to the Player and the progressive that is actually won and paid out.
Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible for the jackpot to be apparently won by more than one player during the delay period mentioned above. In the event of more than one player apparently winning 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 extremely unlikely event of the server recording a win truly simultaneously, the Operator reserves the right to share the jackpot equally between the winning players.
6.16 Promotional Prizes
From time to time, the Operator offers a variety of prizes or entries into draws for prizes to 'pay to play' and/or 'play for free' players usually, buy not exclusively dependant upon period-specific 'pay to play' wagering or 'free to play' activity. The Operator will state clearly on promotional text and images the activity that players must complete (e.g. 'pay to play' registration to win a prize or be entered into a draw for a prize.)
6.17 Play For Free And Pay To Play Promotional Prizes
You must be over the age of 18 years to enter into the promotional prize draws. The Operator reserves the right to request age and identification documents and at its discretion may use an independent age and identification verification service. Any promotional prizes won by members found to be under the age of 18 years will be declared void.
6.18 Pay to Play Prize Draws
No additional purchase necessary. For free entry to draw send a postcard to Pay to Play Prize draw, Profitable Play Limited, 2A Edge Water Complex, St Julians, STJ3151 Malta, including your name, address, and email address.
6.19 Promotional Credits for Wagering Only
If, as part of a promotional campaign or competition, we credit an amount to an account registered in your name, you can only use such amounts to make future wagers. You are not entitled to withdraw such amounts and we reserve the right to reclaim those amounts if you do not use them to play the Games during the period specified in the promotion.
6.20 Promotional Prizes
Irrespective of where players live in the world, the Operator endeavours to deliver all play for real promotional prizes and prizes that have been won via the prize point draws to the prize winner's registered address destination or requested address. The Operator reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of similar value (including a financial consideration) if it is either impractical to deliver the relevant prize to the player's relevant country.
6.21 Location-specific Promotional Prizes
The Operator will specify if 'travel costs' are included in a location-specific promotional prize. Gamesys reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of similar value (including a financial consideration) if it is impractical for the player to travel to a location-based prize. In such cases, the Operator will attempt to offer a similar type of prize at a location nearer to the player but the Operator reserves the right alternatively to offer a financial consideration prize.
6.22 Customer Transaction Enquiries
If you have any queries regarding transactions on your account, please email our customer services department on support@jackpotjoy.com or call free phone 0800 458 0770. International customers should contact +44 20 7287 4431. Our staff answer phone queries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Calls may be monitored or recorded for training and security purposes.
6.23 Free-to-play Prize Point Payouts
The Operator's prize points payout rates on free-to-play games are either the same or higher than the corresponding pay-to-play version, including in some cases greater than 100%. Consequently, the winning of prize points does not reflect the chance of winning money when wagering on the pay-to-play games which all have average payout rates below 100%.
6.24 Prize winner notification and expiry
All prize winners will be contacted by email on the day that prize is drawn. If the winner does not reply to their email (by returning email to sender) within 11 days, they will forfeit their prize and the following will happen. If competition is a prize draw, the draw will be run again and another winner selected. If competition is of tournament structure, the next placed player will be awarded the prize (i.e. if 1st place doesn't respond then 2nd place will be awarded the 1st place prize).
6.25 Prize winner promotion
The Designated Winner hereby agrees that his first name may be used in any publicity material by the Operator.
6.26 Bonus Promotions
From time to time the Operator may operate a bonus promotion. The Operator reserves the right to determine the member qualification criteria of the bonus promotion. Full details on the bonus promotion terms and conditions can be found at www.jackpotjoy.com.
6.27 Closing Accounts
You may close your account and request payment of outstanding funds at any time. The Operator also reserves the right to temporarily suspend or permanently close your account (without assigning any reason). So long as you have complied with the foregoing obligations and the terms referred to in the terms and conditions your outstanding funds, as recorded on the Operator's systems, will be repaid to you.
6.28 How to Close your Account
You may instruct us to close your account at anytime by contacting our 24/7 Customer Support team on free phone 0800 458 0770 or by emailing support@jackpotjoy.com with details of the account(s) you wish to close. International customers should contact +44 20 7287 4431.
6.29 Re-opening your Account
All requests to re-open a closed account will be reviewed by the Operator. Accounts closed as part of our Self Exclusion policy cannot be re-opened for any reason until the self-exclusion time period has expired.
7 Stakes Wagered
7.1 Minimum Stakes
A minimum stake of GBP 0.01 per wager applies. All stakes/wagers contain a unique ticket number/identifier.
7.2 The Operator's Server Evidenced Bet Results
In the event that there is a discrepancy between either the numbers that a Player believes that they have entered or the graphic display of the game they have played and those in the database maintained by the Operator, the numbers in the database are considered valid and no correspondence disputing such issues will be entered into by the Operator. For the avoidance of doubt, this policy covers disputed results on both 'Play for Real' and 'Pay for Fun' Games.
7.3 Random Number Generator
You fully accept and agree that random number generator software, hosted on the Operator's servers in Malta will determine the outcome of the Games.
7.4 Integrity of Random Number Generator (RNG)
The output of the Service Provider's RNG used by the Operator is monitored regularly by the Operator to ensure it performs within expected bounds and is checked periodically by the Agents of the Authority and is accepted and certified by the Authority in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
7.5 Automatic Game Playing / Manipulation of Software
Automatic playing of Games by software (including so called "robots") or any other manipulation of the Games or your/another Player's account data may result in termination of your membership, cancellation of all associated accounts, and the cancellation of any outstanding prizes and deposits. Players that violate this policy will not be eligible for reinstatement under different screen names until further notice.
7.6 Rules and Regulations Violations
The Operator reserves all legal rights and remedies against Players who violate the rules and regulations associated with the Operator's account membership.
7.7 Disconnections and Other Events Beyond the Operator's Control
Wherever possible, the Operator endeavours to ensure the full protection of all its clients and their bets. However, there are certain events that are beyond the Operator's control.
The games are played over the Internet which is a communication medium that is known to be imperfect. Messages to or from your display device and the game servers may be lost or interrupted. If you have wagered on a game but have not started the game when you are disconnected, the game will not take place. If you have wagered and have started the game when you are disconnected the game will be recorded on the game servers and the bet will stand and the outcome will be reflected in your account status.
Some Games are multi stage and for may include bonus games. In the event of a disconnection during a bonus game, reconnecting and re-selecting the game (at the same coin value where applicable) should cause the game to recommence from the point at which it terminated. In the event a bonus game cannot for any reason be recommenced in this way this is considered a malfunction unless otherwise stated in the specific game rules.
In the event of disconnection the records stored on the game server shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any wagers you place and the circumstances in which they were made.
Malfunction voids all pays and play.
7.8 Client (Player) Account Balances
The balance of a client's account will at all times be as is recorded on the server. Generally the balance on the server when logging into the website, after a line has been disconnected or become non-responsive, will reflect the true balance after completion of the last bet prior to the breakdown in communications.
7.9 Wager Result Acceptance
By placing any further wagers with the Operator the Player accepts the results of any previous wager. As such (at the Operator's discretion) the results of the previous wager are no longer in dispute and no refunds or other adjustments will be granted. If the Player should feel the result of any of the Operator's games is unfair or incorrect the Player should contact the Operator immediately and report the incident.
7.10 The Operator's Terms and Conditions of Play
All games are played strictly subject to the Operator's terms and conditions. By playing at the Operator's website, the player is agreeing to abide by these terms and conditions and, in addition, the specific rules relating to any specific game played.
7.11 The Operator's and Service Provider's Employee and Contractor Playing Restrictions
Employees and Contractors of the Operator, the Service Provider and any of the Operator's or Service Provider's third party contractors such as licensors, software suppliers, partners or developers are prohibited from registering, playing the Games or making transactions on the service, unless authorised to do so by a legally entitled Official of the Operator for test purposes only. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds or winnings in accounts used in this manner may be withdrawn.
7.12 Player Opt Out
You may instruct us to exclude you from participation in the Games by sending us an email to support@jackpotjoy.com with your instructions or by calling Jackpotjoy Customer Support in the UK on 0800 458 0770.
