17.1

Seminole Gaming has a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate play and fraudulent activity.

This may have a detrimental impact on your credit rating and will require Seminole Gaming to share your personal information with appropriate agencies and to report any criminal or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.

17.2

Seminole Gaming reserves the right to void and withhold any or all winnings made by any patron where Seminole Gaming has reasonable grounds to believe that a Patron has acted to defraud or damage Seminole Gaming.

In the interests of data protection, security, and avoidance of fraud Seminole Gaming does not permit use of any communication channels included within the Services to offer or promote any offers, products, and services. You are expressly prohibited from posting information or contacting Seminole Gaming Patrons to offer or promote any offers, products, or services.

17.4

For the purpose of this Section, “suspicious wagering activity” shall refer to situations where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a bet or a number of bets have been placed under suspicious circumstances. Suspicious circumstances shall include, but not be limited to:

17.4.1

Where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of bets (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection in a short space of time;

17.4.2

Where there is an inordinate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of bets placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of bet(s) placement, based on the odds offered on the selection(s) at the time of bet placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;

17.4.3

Where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which we reasonably believe was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of bet placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any bets placed on that event (or those events);

17.4.4

Where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a bet or a string of connected bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each bet manually via their Account;

17.4.5

Where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any bet(s);

17.4.6

Where we reasonably suspect that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where we reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of bets placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;

17.4.7

Where we otherwise reasonably believe, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf; or

17.4.8

Where we reasonably believe that bets have been placed from a spoofed location.

17.5

In the case of any of the activities contemplated herein, and without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:

17.5.1

Request such further information from you as may reasonably be required by us to investigate whether the bet or bets constitute suspicious betting for the purpose of Section 17.4.

17.5.2

Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by us of satisfactory evidence from you in order for us to determine (acting reasonably) that a bet does not constitute a suspicious bet as such term is referred to in Section 17.4. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that a bet or a string of connected bets may have been placed robotically or by automated means, we may require you to provide reasonable evidence that each bet was placed manually by you via your Account. You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to collect and process any information in connection with your betting patterns, personal data, depositing of funds and any other related information and inquiries that will help us to investigate any suspected violation of these Terms of Service;

17.5.3

Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) business days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by SEMINOLE GAMING, any sports governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);

17.5.4

Void a bet or a string of connected bets (including for example multiples) prior to the event. Where possible, we shall communicate to you in writing in advance that the bet(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event that is the subject of the bet(s);
