2. Account opening and verification checks

2.1
To open an account on the Website, the User must register personally. You must be of legal age (18 years of age or older if required in the jurisdiction where you live) to open and make use of an account with us. You must also be of mental capacity to take responsibility for your own actions and to enter into an enforceable contract with us. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that any account is being operated by anyone under the age of 18, the account will immediately be closed and all funds deposited will be returned (less any winnings already paid out).

2.2
It is your responsibility to determine the legal status of internet gambling in your jurisdiction and act accordingly. The availability of the Website in any particular jurisdiction does not constitute an offer or invitation by Dumarca to use the services offered by the Website. You must not mask, disguise, anonymise or hide your IP (i.e. by using a VPN) while accessing the Website. Dumarca accepts no liability whatsoever with respect to actions by players where internet gambling is illegal and/or which is in violation of this clause of the Terms and Conditions. Users who are resident in Malaysia, China, Hong Kong or the U.S are not allowed to open an account. We do not permit accounts to be opened by, or used from, Users based in certain jurisdictions (including the U.S). The list of jurisdictions is determined by the legality of online gambling within the relevant countries, and may be changed by us from time to time. In addition, some of our games may only be accessed and played in certain jurisdictions.

2.3
You must submit your correct personal information during registration, including your full name, home address, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, and relevant payment information. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is true, complete and correct, and is kept up-to-date.

2.4
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree that we are entitled to carry out any identity, credit or other verification checks that we may reasonably require and/or are required of us under applicable laws and regulations or by regulatory authorities. We may supply the information you give us to authorised credit reference agencies, identity verification services and/or fraud prevention agencies to confirm your identity. We may also carry out telephone verification with you. Such information will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2.5
You agree to provide us with any information we request to assist with our verification checks, and we reserve the right to request documents to verify the following: (i) your identity, such as a valid photographic ID (e.g. a copy of your National Identity Card, Passport or Driving Licence); (ii) your residential address (e.g. copies of bank statements and/or utility bills dated within the last three months); and (iii) proof of ownership/authorisation to use a certain payment method (e.g. a screenshot of the account (i.e. Neteller) that corresponds to the payment method). We may request that you provide any of these documents certified to attest their credibility. We may also use additional verification tools available to us in order to verify the authenticity of any documents you provide. Furthermore, if we have reasonable grounds to believe that any documents provided by you are not genuine or are inaccurate, we reserve the right to refuse such documents. Dumarca reserves the right to restrict any account until the relevant verification checks have been carried out to our reasonable satisfaction, and to the standard required of us under applicable laws and regulations. Dumarca further reserves the right to close your account and return any remaining balance if verification checks have not been carried out to our reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) calendar days from our first request for documents.

2.6
Until such time as any verification checks have been adequately concluded, any withdrawal request that you make will be pending. Once we have verified your identity, the withdrawal will be actioned. If your account has been restricted for not providing age verification information only, you may withdraw any remaining funds (excluding any winnings on your account) without providing such verification and your account will be closed.

2.7
We will comply with applicable data protection laws in respect of the personal information you supply to us, and we will only use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

2.8
Dumarca may, at its own discretion, refuse to open an account for any individual. The company reserves the right to close a player account, but contractual obligations already made will be honoured.

3. Use of your account

3.1

• use the Website other than for your own personal use, and not to act in the interests of any third party;

3.2
You may only hold one account with the Website. Users holding two or more accounts for any reason should inform us without delay. If we identify any User with more than one account, we will close any duplicate account(s) and return any withdrawable funds. If we have grounds to believe that one or more account(s) have been opened with the intention to mislead or defraud Dumarca, we may cancel any pending transaction(s) related to such conduct and close any or all of the account(s).

3.3
Dumarca accepts stakes in a number of different currencies. You must choose one currency as the default currency of your account.

3.6

3.7
If no transaction has been recorded on your account for twelve (12) consecutive months, your account will be deemed 'inactive'.

3.8
Dumarca shall, no less than thirty (30) days before the player's account is due to become inactive, contact you via email to inform you that your account is about to become inactive. If your account becomes 'inactive' and Dumarca is unable to contact you after making reasonable attempts to do so, we will charge a monthly five Euro (€5) administrative fee to your account. This fee will not be charged to an account which is deemed to be inactive following a self-exclusion request by the player. Once the self-exclusion period lapses, the inactivity fees may be charged if the player remains inactive after the lapse of the self-exclusion period.

3.9
Dumarca will have no obligation to return fees deducted in this way as they are no longer considered to be customer funds once they have been deducted. Fees on inactive accounts can bring your account balance to zero. The company reserves the right to use the inactivity fees to fund responsible gaming endeavours. Administrative fees shall only be refundable on presentation of proof of a health impediment during such inactive period.

4. Deposits & Withdrawals

4.1
In order to adhere to applicable laws and our regulatory requirements, you must only use debit or credit cards and other payment methods that are valid and that lawfully belong to you. In the event that we identify, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that a payment method does not belong to you, we reserve the right to close your account and void any winnings arising from the relevant deposit(s).

In the case of deposits via credit and debit cards, you may be requested, in our reasonable discretion, to submit a copy of the front and back of the relevant credit card showing only the first six and last four digits on the front, and hiding the CVV2 number from the back.

4.2
We hold all customer funds separate from company funds in an accredited banking institution in line with gaming regulations, the bank has acknowledged that your funds are held solely for this purpose and:

a) it will not attempt to enforce or execute, any charge, write-off, set-off or other claim against the aforementioned account/s; and
b) it will not combine the account/s with any other account in respect of any debt owed to it by Dumarca.

4.3
You should only deposit money into your account for the purposes of entering into a gambling transaction. In circumstances where we reasonably believe that you are depositing money without any intention to enter into a gambling transaction, we may investigate your account in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

4.4
We reserve the right to decline a gambling transaction if your account is restricted in our reasonable discretion. All gambling transactions are entered into at your own discretion.

4.5
No interest is payable on account balances, irrespective of the amount held in your account. Accordingly, you should not in any way treat Dumarca as a financial institution.

4.6
No credit is permitted. It is your responsibility to maintain sufficient funds in your account, and to stake your funds accordingly. Gambling transactions will not be confirmed if there are insufficient funds in your account. We reserve the right to void any stake which may be inadvertently placed or accepted if your account does not have sufficient funds to cover the whole of the stake.

4.7

4.8
If you do not provide the requested information within the period given, we will proceed to restrict your account until the information has been provided and verified by us. Dumarca may, acting reasonably, restrict or close any account where the response to such requests is not satisfactory. We may also pass on such information to any relevant authority if required to do so by applicable laws.

4.9
If Dumarca mistakenly credits your account with winnings that do not belong to you, whether due to a technical error, human error or otherwise, the incorrectly credited amount will remain the property of Dumarca. If, prior to us becoming aware of the error, you have withdrawn funds that do not belong to you, without prejudice to any other remedy and action that may be available to us by law, the mistakenly paid amount will constitute a debt owed by you to Dumarca. In the event of an incorrect crediting, you should notify Dumarca immediately by email.

4.10
Bonus funds may be credited to your account as part of a promotion, loyalty scheme or other marketing campaign. These bonus funds cannot be directly withdrawn/paid-out, but must be used for the placing of wagers on the Website. Depending on the promotion, these bonus funds may be convertible to real money after fulfilling a specific set of criteria for the promotion. Please refer to specific Promotional Terms.

4.11

4.12

In line with the applicable laws, Dumarca will remit amounts only to the same payment method from where the funds deposited into your account originated.

4.16
Credit / debit card withdrawals are processed to the card(s) that were originally used to deposit. Should a User have more than one registered credit/ debit card, the withdrawal will be processed to the primary credit/ debit card (i.e. the account from which you deposited the majority of funds within the last 6 months), assuming withdrawals to this card are possible (e.g. in the case of MasterCard, withdrawals are not possible).

4.17
Withdrawals to credit/ debit cards usually take between 3 to 5 working days.

4.18
The full credit/ debit card information is never stored by Dumarca and always transmitted in an encrypted way for your security.

4.19
Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may cancel any of your withdrawal requests or void any winnings if we suspect that you are:

• acting other than on your own behalf or otherwise in conjuction with others;
• engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity; or
• breaching any of these Terms and Conditions.


4.20
Deposits to and withdrawals from an account shall at all times be made through a Financial Institution or a Payment Solution Provider. The procedures, terms and conditions, availability, fees and processing time for deposits/withdrawals may vary depending on the relevant Financial Institution or Payment Solution Provider.

6.1
You may, at your discretion, ask us at any time to exclude you from placing any transactions on the Website for a specific time period. You can do this online, by visiting the Limits section of your account, or by contacting Customer Services. In asking us to exclude you, you acknowledge and agree that we will suspend your account and prevent you from gambling on the Website for the time period requested. Applying a self-exclusion will not affect any pending withdrawal, unless verification documents are requested in line with our Know Your Customer process.
The self-exclusion will be applied to all websites operated by Dumarca. You are able to extend the self-exclusion to our Group. There may be a short delay in applying the self-exclusion to websites operated by other members of our Group. Please note that the self-exclusion will not apply to any websites not listed within our group, as these companies are not members of our group.

6.2
When you self-exclude, we will attempt to return your withdrawable funds to you. If, after a reasonable period, we are not able to return your withdrawable funds (because, for example, we are not able to contact you), we may donate the relevant amount to a charity of our choice.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that self-excluded accounts do not receive any marketing material from us. However, there may be a short delay between your self-exclusion and marketing materials being stopped. Self-excluding from our Website will not affect your marketing preferences with third parties, including advertising from other third-party affiliates, over which we have no control. We strongly recommend that you contact any such parties and opt out from receiving any marketing material from them. We also recommend you consider self-excluding from any other online gaming operators with which you hold an account.

Should you opt to self-exclude, we will take all reasonable steps to detect and prevent you from registering a new account on the Website. You should not attempt to open an account on any website operated by Dumarca or any other member of its group whilst you have opted for self-exclusion. Any accounts found to be in use of a self-exclusion agreement will be closed as soon as such use is discovered.

Cookies

About Cookies: In this privacy policy, we use the expression ‘cookie’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies for storing information (such as web beacons). A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile (or other) device by a website’s server, and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information, such as a unique identifier and the website name and some digits and numbers.

Almost all websites and applications you visit, including our website, will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website and/or application to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

Cookies do lots of different jobs that improve your use of a website or application, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website or application doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the website.

Some websites, including our website and any mobile or device specific version and any related applications of our website (collectively referred to in this Cookies section as the “Website”), will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages (based, for example, on your location and/or browsing habits).

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first party cookies”) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page or application you are viewing (“third party cookies”).

Our Cookies: We use a number of different cookies on this Website to help us to recognise you, track your activity and improve your use and experience of the Website.

In addition, we use a number of third party service providers, who also set cookies on this Website, in order to deliver the services that they are providing to us. Such services include, but are not limited to, helping us to improve your use and experience of the Website by tracking your activity on the Website, measuring the effectiveness of the Website and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

We and/or third parties may use cookies to collect or receive information from the Website and use that information to advertise to you on other websites. You can view the cookies used for such purposes on this Website and opt out of the collection and use of your information for such targeted advertising here: www.aboutads.info/choices.

What to do if you don’t want Cookies to be set: Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile (or other) device intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless, you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website. Most online browsers automatically accept cookies. However, if you wish to restrict or block cookies you can modify your browser settings. Information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.AboutCookies.org.

Retention of your Personal Information

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary for us to provide you with our services and to comply with our legal and regulatory responsibilities. Accordingly, your Personal Information will be retained for a minimum of five years following the closure of your account (if applicable) or the last contact with us from you. Where it is no longer necessary for us to process your Personal Information, we will delete it sooner. If you request that you should not be able to access our websites, mobile applications and services (i.e. self-exclude), we will retain this information for a minimum of seven years.

You can update your Personal Information at any time via your account. We request that where your Personal Information changes you update your account as soon as possible.

• a right to have inaccurate Personal Information rectified;
• where we have specifically requested your consent to process your Personal Information and have no other lawful basis to process it, you have the right to withdraw this consent; and • a right to have certain Personal Information erased where it is no longer necessary for us to process it, where you have withdrawn your consent pursuant to the paragraph above, where you have objected pursuant to the paragraph below, where your Personal Information has been unlawfully processed, or where erasing your Personal Information is required in accordance with a legal obligation;
• a right to object to processing where our lawful basis for processing it is that it is in our legitimate interests, but please note that we may still process your Personal Information where there are other relevant lawful bases or where we have compelling grounds to continue processing your Personal Information in our interests which are not overridden by your rights, interests or freedoms;
• a right to request an explanation of the logic involved where we make decisions about you solely through automated means;
• a right to complain to your national data protection supervisory authority;

If you would like to exercise any of your rights then you can do so by contacting us as described below. Please be aware that while we will try to accommodate any request you make in respect of your rights, they are not necessarily absolute rights.
