Account Registration

Eligibility and Age Requirements

  • Minimum age: You may register an Account only if you are at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By creating an Account, you expressly warrant that you meet this requirement.
  • Jurisdictional restrictions: The Operator is licensed in Curaçao under licence number 8048/JAZ2019-015 (issued by Antillephone N.V.) and does not hold an Australian licence. The ACMA has identified offerings associated with Hollycorn N.V. as illegal to offer in Australia. It is your responsibility to ensure that accessing the Website and using the Services is lawful in your jurisdiction. The Operator does not permit registration from any Restricted Jurisdiction where such registration would be unlawful.

Account Creation Process

  1. Registration form: To open an Account, you must complete the registration form on the Website, providing at least:
    • full legal name;
    • date of birth;
    • country of residence;
    • valid email address;
    • chosen username and password; and
    • any other information requested by the Operator.
  2. Email verification: The Operator may require you to verify your email address by following a link or code sent to the email address supplied. Access to certain Services may be denied until verification is completed.
  3. Single account rule: You are permitted to hold only one Account on the Website. Creating multiple Accounts (including "duplicate", "multi" or "fake" Accounts) is strictly prohibited and may lead to closure of all related Accounts and forfeiture of bonuses and winnings.

KYC and Verification

  1. Mandatory verification: The Operator may, at any time and in its sole discretion, request KYC documents to verify your identity, age, place of residence, source of funds and payment methods. This may include:
    • valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's licence or national ID card);
    • proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, government letter, generally not older than three months);
    • proof of ownership of payment instruments (redacted bank or card statement, e-wallet screenshot); and
    • additional documents reasonably required under AML/CTF standards.
  2. Timing and consequences: The Operator may suspend your Account, freeze balances and withhold withdrawals until satisfactory completion of KYC. Failure to provide documents, provision of false or misleading information, or suspicion of fraud or regulatory risk may result in Account closure and reporting to relevant authorities.

User Obligations

  • Accuracy of data: You must ensure that all information provided during registration and throughout the relationship with the Operator is accurate, complete and kept up to date. You must promptly update any changes, including address, email, or payment details.
  • Password security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not disclose your password or allow any third party to use your Account. The Operator is entitled to assume that any activity under your username and password is performed by you.
  • Unauthorised access: You must notify the Operator immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access or any breach of security. Until such notice is received and acknowledged, the Operator shall not be liable for losses arising from unauthorised use of your Account.
  • Prohibited use: You agree not to use the Website or Services for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose, including money laundering, terrorist financing, or in contravention of the laws of Australia or any other jurisdiction where you reside or access the Services.

Betting & Gameplay Rules

General Rules of Play

  • Game rules: Each game, including pokies, table games and live dealer games, is governed by its specific rules and payout tables, which are either displayed within the game interface or otherwise accessible on the Website. By placing a Bet you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted those rules.
  • Randomness and fairness: The Operator uses software supplied by certified providers (including SoftSwiss and BGaming, which hold independent testing certifications such as iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs) to ensure that game outcomes are determined by certified random number generators or equivalent methods. Notwithstanding this, the Operator remains the final arbiter of game outcomes as recorded on its servers.

Placing Bets

  1. Bet limits: Each game or table specifies minimum and maximum Bet amounts. You may not place Bets below the minimum or above the maximum applicable limit. The Operator may adjust Bet limits at any time without prior notice.
  2. Available balance: You may only place Bets using funds available in your Account balance (Real Money Balance or, where permitted, Bonus Balance). Attempting to place Bets without sufficient funds is not permitted and such Bets will not be accepted.
  3. Bet confirmation: A Bet is considered accepted once it has been processed and recorded on the Operator's servers. The time of acceptance is that recorded by the Operator's system, not the time on your device.

Modification and Cancellation of Bets

  • Player-initiated cancellation: Once a Bet has been accepted by the Operator's system, it cannot ordinarily be cancelled or modified by the Player. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your Bets before confirming them.
  • Operator-initiated voiding: The Operator may cancel, void or adjust a Bet or series of Bets if:
    • a technical malfunction affects the display or outcome of a game;
    • games or odds are offered or settled in error (including obvious errors or misprints);
    • there is reasonable suspicion of fraud, collusion, advantage play or other prohibited conduct; or
    • required to do so by a regulator or under applicable law.
    In such cases, the Operator may declare the Bet void and, where appropriate, return the original stake to the Player's Real Money Balance.

Conduct in Live Casino and Chats

  • Respectful behaviour: You must behave respectfully towards dealers, other Players and staff. Insults, harassment, threats, hate speech, obscene content, and any other abusive or discriminatory behaviour are strictly prohibited.
  • No collusion or cheating: You must not collude with other Players, use automated tools, bots or scripts, exploit bugs or glitches, or engage in any form of cheating or unfair advantage play.
  • Language standards: The Operator reserves the right to restrict permitted languages in chat and to moderate or remove content that is offensive, promotional, spam-like or unrelated to gameplay.
  • Sanctions: Breach of conduct rules may lead to chat bans, game session termination, cancellation of Bets, forfeiture of winnings and, in serious or repeated cases, suspension or closure of your Account.

Bonus Terms

Activation of Bonuses

  • Eligibility: Bonuses, including welcome offers, reloads, free spins, cashback and tournaments, may be offered at the Operator's discretion and may be subject to individual eligibility criteria (e.g. new customers, specific countries not being Restricted Jurisdictions, minimum deposits).
  • Bonus codes and opt-in: Certain promotions require entering a bonus code or explicitly opting in via the Website. Failure to enter the correct code or opt-in within the promotional period may result in non-crediting of the Bonus.
  • Bonus crediting: Unless otherwise specified, Bonuses are credited after qualifying criteria (such as a minimum deposit) are met. The Operator reserves the right to withhold or withdraw any Bonus where it reasonably suspects breach of these Terms or abuse of the promotion.

Wagering Requirements and Timeframes

  1. Standard wagering: Unless promoted differently, Bonuses and related winnings are subject to wagering requirements (e.g. 40x the bonus amount) before they can be transferred from Bonus Balance to Real Money Balance and made available for withdrawal.
  2. Contribution of games: Different games may contribute differently to wagering requirements. For example:
    • pokies/slots: up to 100% contribution;
    • table games and live casino: lower or 0% contribution;
    • certain games: completely excluded from wagering.
    • The exact contribution table is specified in each promotion or on the Website's bonus rules page.
    • Time limits: Bonuses may carry expiry dates or time limits (e.g. 7 or 14 days from crediting). Failure to meet wagering requirements within the specified timeframe may result in the forfeiture of the Bonus and any associated winnings. Timeframes for promotions active in 2025 will, unless specifically stated otherwise, not extend beyond 2026.

Prohibited Games and Actions

  • Restricted games: The Operator may designate certain games or categories as excluded from Bonus play. Placing Bets on such games using Bonus funds may result in removal of the Bonus and associated winnings.
  • Irregular play: The following, without limitation, may be considered bonus abuse or irregular play:
    • placing single Bets that exceed a maximum bet limit defined for Bonus play;
    • hedging Bets or low-risk wagering strategies designed primarily to clear wagering requirements;
    • using strategies that delay play outcomes (e.g. saving "free spins" for later to use after wagering real funds) contrary to stated rules;
    • colluding with other Players to abuse promotions.
    In cases of suspected abuse, the Operator may remove the Bonus, confiscate Bonus winnings and close the Account.

Combining Promotions

  • Non-stacking rule: Unless explicitly permitted, only one active Bonus or promotion may apply to your Account at any given time. Attempting to combine multiple promotions in a manner not authorised in their specific terms is prohibited.
  • Order of wagering: Generally, Bonus funds are wagered before Real Money Balance, or as otherwise indicated in the particular promotion. The Website will display your current active Bonus and wagering progress.

Payments & Withdrawals

Deposit Methods and Limits

  • Payment methods: The Operator, via Hollycorn N.V. and its payment processing subsidiary Libergos Limited (Cyprus), may support deposits through:
    • credit and debit cards;
    • e-wallets and online payment systems;
    • bank transfers; and
    • selected cryptocurrencies, where legally permitted.
    • The availability of methods depends on your location and on third-party providers.
    • Deposit limits: Minimum and maximum deposit limits apply and are displayed on the Website or in the cashier section. The Operator may adjust these limits, including implementing individual limits, in line with risk management and responsible gambling policies.
    • Fees: The Operator endeavours not to charge deposit fees. However, third-party providers or your bank may impose their own charges, currency conversion fees or transaction limits, for which the Operator is not responsible.

    Withdrawals

    1. Withdrawal methods: Withdrawals are generally processed using the same method and, where possible, the same payment instrument used for deposits, subject to technical and regulatory constraints. Alternative methods may be offered in compliance with AML/CTF obligations.
    2. Processing times: The Operator aims to review and process withdrawal requests within a reasonable timeframe (e.g. 0 - 3 business days) after all required verifications are completed. Actual receipt times depend on your chosen payment method and financial institution.
    3. Verification conditions: The Operator may require you to complete KYC procedures prior to processing withdrawals, regardless of whether such procedures were completed at registration. Failure to satisfy verification may lead to cancellation or delay of withdrawal requests.
    4. Withdrawal limits: Daily, weekly or monthly maximum withdrawal limits may apply and are set out on the Website or in the cashier section. Large withdrawals may be paid in instalments in accordance with such limits and internal policies.

    Refunds, Chargebacks and Bonus Reversals

    • Refund policy: Bets placed and accepted cannot ordinarily be cancelled or refunded. In exceptional circumstances (e.g. technical failures resulting in void Bets), the Operator may, at its discretion, refund stakes to the Player's Account.
    • Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback or disputing a transaction with a payment provider without legitimate reason constitutes breach of these Terms. The Operator may:
      • reclaim Bonuses and winnings associated with the disputed deposit;
      • charge administrative processing fees; and
      • close or suspend the Account and report the incident to payment providers and relevant authorities.
    • Bonus-related funds: If a Bonus is revoked or cancelled due to breach of the Bonus Terms, bonus funds and associated winnings may be removed from the Account. Real Money Balance will generally remain, except where obtained through fraudulent conduct.

    Limitation of Liability

    Operator's Obligations

    • Service provision: The Operator will use reasonable care and skill to:

      • you provide false, incomplete or misleading information during registration or KYC;
      • you are suspected of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other criminal conduct;

      • the Operator decides, for risk management or business reasons, to discontinue providing Services to you.

    • Australian law considerations: While the Operator is not licensed in Australia and services offered to Australian residents may contravene the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) from the perspective of ACMA, it is not illegal for individual Australian players to access such services. Nothing in these Terms is intended to override or exclude any mandatory provisions of Australian law that may apply to you as a consumer.

    1. Internal complaints: If you have a Dispute, you should first contact customer support at [email protected], providing full details. The Operator will investigate and endeavour to resolve the matter internally within a reasonable timeframe.
    2. Escalation: If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the internal process, you may request that the matter be escalated to a higher level within the Operator's management. Given the nature of Curaçao's regulatory framework, the involvement of the licence issuer or local ADR bodies may be limited.
    3. Courts and arbitration: Subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws:
      • any Dispute not resolved internally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Curaçao; or
      • if the Operator elects, the Dispute may be referred to binding arbitration in Curaçao under rules and a procedure selected by the Operator, with the arbitration decision being final and binding.
