6. Wager rules and limitations of liability
A minimum stake of GBP 0.10p per wager applies. All stakes/wagers will contain a
unique ticket number. You fully accept that the random number generator software
(RNG), hosted on our servers in Gibraltar, will determine the outcome of the Bingo
games. Our RNG software is periodically checked and approved by external IT experts
as are our accounting and financial systems.
We reserve the right to refuse the whole or part of any wager at our discretion.
We reserve the right to set and to vary the maximum and minimum stake amounts and
these will be updated in the rules accessible on the website. It is your responsibility
to check these rules each time you log on.
By placing any further wagers with us, you accept the results of the previous wager.
As such, the results of the previous wager are no longer in dispute and no refunds
or other adjustments will be granted.
You agree that our decision will be final and binding on all matters in relation
to wagering, or your eligibility for a prize or claim, and our transaction records
shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any wagers you place and
the circumstances in which they were made. St Minver Limited's liability in respect
of any claim or loss shall be limited to the stake paid by you.
We will not be liable for damages which may be caused by the interception or misuse
of your credit card details on the Internet to the extent that such interception
or misuse has been caused by events outside of our operation and control.

the 'Learn to Play' section of the website. From time to time we may operate a bonus
promotion. We reserve the right to determine the member qualification criteria of
all bonus promotions. Our bonus promotion terms can be found in the Promotions section

reasonable endeavours to notify you of any such changes which are material.

to the service, we shall not be liable for any downtime which you suffer during
your use of the Bingo service or any associated games.

competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable then such part will
be severed from the remainder of these terms, which will continue to be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar.
