Via its website, Zigiz and/or Gembly offers you the opportunity to play games ("Games").
You can play "for Fun", "for Real" and "Tournament". In the "for Fun" module you cannot win any prizes, but that is possible in the "for Real" and "Tournament" modules. If you wish to play "for Real" or "Tournament", you should open a player's account which will manage the balance of your winnings. Zigiz and/or Gembly recommends that if you are playing "for Real" and "Tournament", you should never place more than EUR 50 on a single day.
Zigiz and Gembly (the "Portal") are trade names of Gembly B.V., Beechavenue 182, 1119 PX Schiphol-Rijk, Netherlands.
These General Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") apply to all the Portals services, including using the Portals website, playing Games and holding a player's account with the Portal (the "Account"), as well as to any other agreements entered into by you and the Portal.
It is not permitted to have more than one account per person. The Portal has the right to delete duplicate accounts and not pay out profits to these accounts. When a player has multiple accounts on the Portal they can be excluded from the services the Portal offers.
You should never give your login details to anyone else and should treat these with the utmost confidentiality. For a number of reasons, amongst which security, the Portal may request you to change your login details. Transferring or disposing of either your Account or your customer relationship with the Portal is not permissible, unless you have received prior written permission from the Portal.
The Portal may assume that all the information originating from your Account has been provided by you, including the provision of bank details to which any profits you make can be paid.
The Portal shall be entitled to block your access to the Portal or to your Account, either permanently or temporarily, or to block your IP address. If the Portal decides to take any such action, it shall not be obliged to give its reasons for doing so.
Moreover, the Portal may, at its own discretion, impose a limit on the number of times you may participate in a certain period, and/or on the amount of money you can use when playing "for Real" and "Tournament" during this period.
These Terms and Conditions may, from time to time, be amended. The Portal shall ensure that the most recent version of the Terms and Conditions is available on its website, after which continuing to play the Games shall indicate your acceptance of the new Terms and Conditions. If you do not wish to accept the new Terms and Conditions, you must give the Portal written notice of this, either on or prior to the date on which the new Terms and Conditions become applicable, and from that date onwards you should refrain from playing any Games.
At any moment and at its sole discretion, the Portal shall be entitled to suspend or cancel a Game should a computer virus, bug, hacker attack or anything else interfere with the administration and security of the Game.
Although the Portal takes great care to manage its website well, the Portal cannot guarantee the correctness, accuracy or (up-to-date) completeness of the information, services or features offered on its website. Moreover, the information visible to you on the website could for technical reasons (cashing or otherwise) be out of date.
Regarding decisions in respect of the payment of any profits you may have won, the Portals administration shall always have the final say and any announcements in that respect, on the website or otherwise, are merely indicative. In addition, the Portal shall be entitled to revise details of the profits in its administration if there is any question of a mistake of which you were obviously aware.
If you notice an inaccuracy, you should immediately inform the Portal of this and, when doing so, provide the Portal with screenshots so that the Portal is able to identify the problem as quickly as possible.
You can opt for the "for Real" and "Tournament" modules on the condition that you are 18 years of age or older. To that end you must submit an application in accordance with the instructions stated on the Portals website. In this context, you must, amongst other things, provide the Portal with accurate and complete personal details, your email address and also choose a user name. At any moment, the Portal shall be entitled to request additional information for the purposes of verification or authentication.
In order to cover the costs for offering Tournament games a percentage of the Tournament Jackpot will be awarded to the Portal. The percentage of the Tournament Jackpot that is used by the Portal to cover the costs of the game can be adjusted by the Portal at any given moment.
Jackpot games are a variant of the Portals Tournament Games. Jackpot Games run up until a moment defined by the Portal before the game starts. For Jackpot Games the prizes that can be won depend on the number of participants in the Jackpot Game: the Jackpot increases when more players participate. The Jackpot will be divided when the Jackpot game ends, where up to one-third of all participants will win a prize. Participants can play the Jackpot Game as many times as they want if they want to better their score.
When the Jackpot Game ends the prizes will be divided and the won playing units (Chips) will be transferred to the accounts of the winners. When there are equal high scores the prizes will be then divided again between the players who have an equal high score. The Portal can decide to end a Jackpot game before the time indicated in the game and to adjust the prizes that can be won. In addition to this the Portal can decide to hold back the prize money when there is indication of fraud in the Jackpot Games.
In the "for Real" and "Tournament" modules you play with game-credits which you have purchased. To buy game-credits, you should upgrade your Account by following the instructions published on the Portals website. The payment methods and the corresponding terms and conditions may change from time to time. In respect of upgrading the following rules are applicable in any event:
No other forms of payment, including for example E-CHECKS, are acceptable.
Your account should be upgraded in the ways indicated on the Portals website, a number of which require the intervention of third parties (payment providers). If you choose to make use of a payment provider, you should be aware that the Portal will only credit your account when it has actually received the payment from the payment provider. Consequently, there may be a delay between the moment when you upgrade your balance and the moment when the new game-credits are actually credited to your Account. If you encounter continuing problems in this respect you should contact your payment provider.
If you have purchased and received game-credits but the Portal has not received the payment, made in the way you chose, then (irrespective of the reason for the non-payment) you shall be obliged to pay the Portal the amount due. If the balance on your Account is sufficient, the Portal may choose to deduct the amount from this balance. In connection with the preceding sentences, the Portal may claim compensation for debt collection and administration costs.
If you make a profit, this profit can be paid out if you have made one or more payments worth at least two times the amount of the free credits or chips received in campaigns and promotions. For example: you have received €4.50 of free credits when you created your account. You will now have to make one or more payments that add up to at least €9.00 before you can request your first payout. In principle, the Portal shall pay out profits within ten (10) working days, and in any event no later than eight (8) weeks, of a request for payment being submitted.
The payment shall be made to the bank account number linked to your Account (see also section 1.2). Transferring or allocating profits to third parties is not permissible. The profit is only payable if your personal details are accurate and complete and you have moreover always acted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
It is only allowed to have 1 account connected to a specific bank account number, or BIC/IBAN number. Exceptions to this rule can be requested by contacting the Portals Customer Support. If your profit has not been paid out within 8 weeks of submitting a request for payment, you should send the Portal a notice of default by email within 30 days; if you fail to do so, the profit shall not be paid out.
The Portal shall determine whether you have won or lost and how this affects the game-credits in your Account. In the event of a disagreement, the Portal shall, at its own discretion, be entitled to decide who should be deemed the winner of a specific Game. If you have a complaint regarding the determination of a winner, you must contact us within seven [7] days.
If an authorised body asks the Portal to withhold any tax or levies on the profits you have made, the Portal shall withhold the requested amount. You should ensure that you pay any local or national taxes, excise duties or other levies and/or taxes and payments due on the profits in good time, and you shall indemnify the Portal against such claims being made on the Portal by any authority.
Any amounts which are erroneously credited to your Account as winnings shall automatically be debited when the error comes to light. If you have withdrawn any such winnings, you must immediately repay the amount concerned to the Portal as paid in error.
You recognise and accept that you may suffer losses, and you accept complete responsibility for any losses.
Game-credits you have purchased cannot be paid out. If due to a technical failure attributable to the Portal, a Game cannot be finished, the Portal shall credit your Account for the number of credits that you paid to participate in the Game that was never finished. However, the Portal shall not accept any liability for potential winnings you might have won had the game been finished without the occurrence of a technical failure.
If you do not play any Games for a period of longer than twelve [12] months, any credit balance on your Account shall lapse. In such cases, the Portal may also close down your Account. Before the termination of your account we will notify you by e-mail two [2] months before this will happen to the e-mail address attached to the account. It is your own responsibility to use the credits and / or, in case you have enough profit credits, perform a payout.
It is your responsibility to check whether the statutory laws to which you are subject allow you to participate in the "for Real" and "Tournament" modules. You may not participate in any Games if your statutory laws prohibit participation; this is for example the case if you are from Italy or the United Kingdom. You shall indemnify the Portal against any consequences arising from breaches of legislation.
In respect of each Game, the Portal may decide the rules of play to which you must adhere. The Portal shall assess whether you are playing by the rules.
You may not use any dishonest methods to play the Games. Every technique which offers a player the opportunity of using anything other than skill to play a game shall be deemed dishonest. These techniques include, but are not limited to, holding more than one account, using programme codes or commands or adapted hardware or software to help play the game, taking on the identity of another player, or deliberately losing Games in order to gain a competitive advantage.
Using machines, computers, software, scripts or making any other use of mechanical, macro methods, either automatic or programmed, is not permitted.
Any infringement of the rules of play or acting in any other way which contravenes the Terms and Conditions, could result in you being excluded from playing Games and, moreover, cause the payment of any profits you may have accrued to be withheld.
If the Portal is of the opinion that you are guilty of any unauthorised actions, the Portal may take appropriate measures. These measures may include blocking your game-credits or IP address, cancelling any accrued profits and excluding you from future participation.
The following shall, amongst others, be deemed unauthorised actions:
The Portal regularly carries out random checks of her "for Real" and "Tournament" players. With these checks the player is asked to provide extra information about his/her identity. Until the Portal has received the requested information no payouts will be transferred to the account of the player. The Portal will destroy the required information as soon as it is verified.
The Portal shall respect the privacy of all its players and shall bear responsibility for ensuring that the details you provide to the Portal are handled confidentially. The Portal shall use your details to enable the Games to be played and, where applicable, to facilitate the payment of profits as easily as possible. For the rest, the Portal shall only use your details with your permission, or when it is requested to do so by an authorised body or forced to do so by a court of law. The Portal shall not sell your details to a third party.
