3.1.1. In order for you to be able to place bets using any of the Websites, you must first register personally with us and open an account (“Member Account”).
3.1.2. You are allowed to have only one Member Account. If you attempt to open more than one Member Account, all betting accounts you try to open may be blocked or closed and any bets may be voided.
3.1.3. If you notice that you have more than one registered Member Account you must notify us immediately. Failure to do so may lead to your Member account being blocked for access. Should we have reasonable grounds to believe that multiple Member Accounts have been opened with the intention to commit fraud or mislead us, we further reserve the right to void bets or cancel any transaction related to said fraud attempt.
3.1.4. You must enter all mandatory information requested into your registration form, in particular, your identity, your address and contact details, including a valid e-mail address, your place of residence, phone number, date of birth, relevant payment information; all of which must be true and correct. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is true, complete, correct, and up-to-date. You are hereby notified that we carry out verification procedures and that your Member Account may be blocked for access or closed if you are found to supply false or misleading information.
3.1.5. If the identification data you submitted to us cannot be verified on the basis of reliable electronic databases, we reserve the right of not granting you any bonuses, including the initial Welcome Offer. If the identification data you submitted to us cannot be verified on the basis of reliable documentary sources, such as, without limitation, identification documents, utility bills, etc. we hereby expressly reserve the right to (i) refuse opening your Member Account, (ii) refuse granting you any bonuses, including the initial Welcome Offer, (iii) temporarily block, or (iv) close your Member Account and/or (v) refuse granting your withdrawal request (see specific identification obligations in point 3.3.).
3.1.6. As part of the registration process, you will have to choose your username and password for your login into the Website(s). It is your sole and exclusive responsibility to ensure that your login details are kept securely. You must not disclose your login details to anyone. We are not responsible for any abuse or misuse of your Member Account by third parties due to your disclosure, whether intentional or accidental, whether active or passive, of your login details to any third party.
3.1.7. You are not allowed to transfer funds from your Account to other players or to receive money from other players into your Account, or to transfer, sell and/or acquire, user accounts.
3.1.8. ALEA Ltd reserves the right to refuse or close a Member Account at its sole discretion but any contractual obligations already made by ALEA Ltd shall be honored accordingly.
3.1.9. ALEA Ltd reserves the right to declare a wager void, partially or in full, if ALEA Ltd, at its own discretion, deems it obvious that there was an error, mistake, misprint or technical error on the pay-table, odds or software.
3.2. Deposits into your Member Account
3.2.1. You may participate in any Game only if you have sufficient funds on your Member Account for such participation. We shall not give you any credit whatsoever for participation in any Game.
3.2.2. We currently do not charge fees for processing deposits.
3.2.3. Depending on the deposit method you have selected, we may assign minimum or maximum deposit levels as specified on our websites.
3.2.4. Deposits can be made through your credit/debit cards, which are generally effective immediately, accepted e-wallets, pre-paid cards and vouchers, as well as bank transfers.
3.2.5. We reserve the right to use additional procedures and means to verify your identity when effecting deposits into your Member Account.
3.2.6. Once the transaction has been made, the money will be drawn from your account or credit card instantly.
3.2.7. The minimum allowed deposited amount depends on your country of residence; the minimum allowed deposit is typically SGD20 unless indicated otherwise on the Websites or in the country-specific welcome offer. The standard maximum amount allowed to be deposited for the first time is SGD1000.
3.2.8. As required by our licensing regulation, any real money deposit is subject to wagering at least once before it can be withdrawn. This is a security regulation that aims to prevent international money laundering. Therefore, in the case of withdrawal requests pertaining to funds not used for wagering, we will only remit your funds when the extended due diligence procedure has been successfully carried out. We will apply a 5% charge on withdrawals, with a minimum fee starting at SGD10 or equivalent currency, unless the requested withdrawal amount has been used at least once for gambling on our site.
3.2.9 We may impose deposit or loss limits to a player account during an investigation or to mitigate the risks of gambling harm. Account and loss deposit limits are visible to players on their deposit page and do not overrule more stringent limits set with Responsible Gambling limits (please refer to point 6.1. for further details).
3.3. Withdrawals
3.3.1. Withdrawals will be made to your bank account or other withdrawal methods available from ‘the Website’. We currently do not charge fees for processing such withdrawals other than as described in 3.2.7. ALEA Ltd will credit you back using the same method and account as you have previously deposited with, when possible. If in the case this is not possible, both the player requesting the withdrawal and the account to which the withdrawal will be processed will need to be verified beforehand. We process the withdrawal requests in the order in which they are received. Our goal is to process your withdrawal request within 2 days. According to the law, at some point we are required to verify our customers’ identity in order to uphold the requested level of security. At this point we will ask for legal documents which can verify your identity, and in this case your withdrawal request will be pending until we have received your documents and verified your identity (please refer to point 3.3.3. for further details). This is a standard security procedure, today commonly known and referred to as the "KYC" process (Know Your Customer). Your 'required' documents will be verified within 1 day, and your 'non-required' documents will be verified within 3 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforementioned processing times are purely indicative and may vary on the basis of the number of requests submitted at that time. Should you have a pending withdrawal request, feel free to contact our Support Team, who will do their best to help you speed up the process! We encourage that you send your KYC documents following your registration. This will make the withdrawal process smoother and quicker.
3.3.2. If we mistakenly credit your Member Account with winnings that do not belong to you, whether due to a technical, error in the pay-tables, or human error or otherwise, the amount will remain property of us and the amount will be deducted from your Member Account. If you have withdrawn funds that do not belong to you prior to us becoming aware of the error, the mistakenly paid amount will (without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available at law) constitute a debt owed by you to us. In the event of an incorrect crediting, you are obliged to notify us immediately by email.
3.3.3. The Payment Team at ALEA Ltd will carry out additional verification procedures for any payout exceeding the equivalent of SGD800 or deposits exceeding SGD2,000 in a single or accumulated transaction. We also reserve the right to carry out any further investigation for lower payouts, including - but not limited to, additional Proof of Identity (front and back copies of your driving licence; a copy of your passport, including the page of the signature and the page with your details; front and back copies of your ID), copies of the front and back of the card(s) used (showing only the first 6 and the last 4 digits on the front and back, but also hiding the CVC on the back of the card), the copy/screenshot of your e-Wallet account (Neteller, Skrill, EcoPayz), a utility bill (not older than 180 days), a copy of your bank statement (PDF format only), a recent reference letter or correspondence issued by a government authority, a photo of the account holder holding a specific ID document and/or a recent payslip. Furthermore, in certain circumstances ALEA Ltd has the right to carry out Enhanced Due Diligence, including the request of a Source of Funds. Account holders who wish to recover funds held in a closed, locked or excluded account are advised to contact our Customer Service.
3.3.4. All transactions shall be checked in order to prevent money laundering. The Company shall report any suspicious transaction to the relevant competent authorities in Malta. If the Member becomes aware of any suspicious activity relating to any of the Games of the Website, he must report this to the Company immediately. ALEA Ltd may suspend, block or close a Member Account and withhold funds if requested to do so in accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Enhanced due diligence may be done in respect of withdrawals of funds not used for wagering.
3.3.5. Winnings of over SGD10,000 might require longer processing time than usual due to bank clearance and security and fraud checks. This can generally add up to 7 days to the normal processing time, but is dependent on case by case.
3.3.6. If a player wins a progressive jackpot, or a pooled progressive jackpot, which is one and the same jackpot shared by several casinos, usually on one same game, or if the player wins a progressive jackpot of SGD50,000 or more, the withdrawal process will take longer time than a regular withdrawal as the win has to be verified with the game provider and, in some cases, communicated amongst the casino network that shares the jackpot pool. As soon as we receive the full pooled jackpot amount, we will initiate the withdrawal process and the player can choose to withdraw up to the whole amount of the progressive jackpot win.
For all winnings not classified as progressive jackpot wins, the rule is that the player can withdraw up to SGD50,000 every 30 days until the whole requested amount has been transferred.
3.3.7. You will not get any interest on outstanding amounts and you shall not treat the Company as a financial institution.
3.3.8. A player can have only one pending withdrawal at a time. It is not possible to request a second withdrawal until the first withdrawal has been processed or cancelled.
3.3.9. A player can lock a withdrawal request from his Lobby at any time, making it impossible for the player to cancel. This withdrawal must still follow the KYC process (see 3.3.1.), does not prevent the money from being sent back to the balance if the withdrawal is rejected (see 3.3.11) and does not remove the limitation of one active withdrawal request at a time (see 3.3.8).
3.3.10. The minimum withdrawal amount depends on the method used for the payment. It is 30 SGD by default, unless mentioned otherwise in the Banking page.
3.3.11 Any withdrawal request waiting for player documents or information without any response from the player for more than 20 days will be rejected and the money sent back to the player balance.
3.4. Inactive Member Accounts
3.4.1. If no transaction has been recorded on your Member Account for thirty months, we shall remit the balance on your Member Account to you or, if you cannot be satisfactorily located, to the Malta Gaming Authority.
3.4.2. Inactive Account means a Member Account which has not recorded any log in or log out for a period exceeding twelve (12) consecutive months. If your Member Account is deemed to be inactive, the Operator reserves the right to charge a monthly administrative fee of SGD 3 or the equivalent in another currency (or the current balance of your Member Account, if less) as long as the balance of your Member Account remains positive. You authorize the Operator to debit this fee from your Member Account on the beginning of the month following the day on which your Member Account is deemed inactive, and on the beginning of every subsequent month that your Member Account remains inactive. The Operator will stop deducting the fee if the account balance is zero or if the account is re-activated.
3.5. A bet that has been placed and accepted can no longer be changed, withdrawn or cancelled. If you play a game with real money, the money will be drawn from your player account instantly.
3.6. Any bonuses we offer are subject to the General Bonus Terms and Conditions.
3.7. Closing of Member Accounts
3.7.1. If you wish to close your member account, you may do so at any time, by contacting customer support in written form. The effective closure of the Account will correspond to the termination of the Terms and Conditions. In case the reason behind the closure of the Account is related to concerns about possible gambling addiction, the Player shall indicate it. You will be able to open your account again by sending a request to the customer support team. All requests for re-opened account will be evaluated by our Fraud and Risk team who abide by strict anti-addiction guidelines.
