     The User acknowledges that the Player Account is not a bank account and cannot be used as such. Therefore, any money linked to the Player Account does not earn any interest.
     
     

     
     

     1. 3.4.1 Payment to the Operator

        Based on the information provided by the User when creating his Player Account, the Operator reserves the right to conduct a credit check, using third party financial institutions and payment services.

        The Operator does not take any commission on deposits or withdrawals of money, regardless of the payment method used. On the other hand, depending on the payment method used or the account from which the withdrawal is requested, fees may be levied by the banking institution or the payment service company of the Operator or User. These costs will be taken into account by the User.
        
        The Operator recommends that the User informs himself/herself about the possible transaction costs beforehand with his/her bank or payment service company
        
        

        1. a) Deposits

           As part of the Operator's efforts to promote responsible gambling and protect the Player, the Player is advised to set personal deposit limits for all games of chance played on the Site at any time.
           
           To do so, the Player goes to the Player account settings where he/she has the ability to set deposit limits either permanently or for a predefined period. In the event of a change in a personal deposit limit by the Player, he is informed and accepts without reservation that he will only be able to play with an increased limit after the expiration, in accordance with legal provisions, of a period of 72 hours following such a request for change, if the Games Commission has not objected to this change. The deposit limit reduction is immediate.
           
           Deposits made by bankcard, or any other payment method are made instantly.
           
           The User undertakes to :
           

           • comply with the conditions of third party electronic payment methods and/or financial institutions.
           • not to use a payment method belonging to someone else.
             
             

           If the Operator suspects that a User is not of legal age to participate in the games (21 years old), it will return all winnings to the User without delay. In addition, all winnings won by the User are confiscated until the User provides formal proof that he/she is indeed of the minimum legal age to participate in the games.
           
           The minimum deposit is EUR 5,00 for Paypal users it will be EUR 10,00 and the maximum deposit is subject to legal conditions, thus pursuant to the Royal Decree of 25 October 2018 on the modalities of operation of games of chance operated by means of information society instruments, the Player is informed of the imposition of a legal deposit limit pursuant to the said Royal Decree and its subsequent amendments, preventing him from depositing more than EUR 200,00 per week on his player account.
           
           pursuant to the said Royal Decree
           
           

        2. b) Withdrawals

           The minimum cash-out is :

           • 15 EUR if the request is made to a Belgian account/paypal

           A collection request will be processed within 5 working days, unless they meet all the conditions allowing "instant cashout". In the latter case the withdrawal will be immediate. For further information, please contact  [email protected]
           
           The User declares that he/she is aware that all financial transactions are subject to the usual banking delays.
           
           It is important to specify that for Users with a bank account outside the SEPA zone, the bank fees that Golden Palace must pay to make a payment will be deducted from the amount of the User's winnings. The latter will also have to assume any fees imposed by their own bank to receive this payment.
           
           Whenever fraud or identity theft is suspected, the Operator reserves the right to block or close a player account and/or not to make a payment as well as to take all legal measures deemed necessary and to communicate the file to the authorities. In the event of suspicion of fraud and in accordance with applicable anti-money laundering laws, the Operator may also communicate the file to the Authorities.
           
           If the User is unable to provide a valid copy of an identity document or/or his bank card and, where applicable, proof of address corresponding exactly to the data recorded on his player account, Golden Palace will have the right to block the player account and refuse any payment.
           
           

4. Article 4

   Duration and Termination

   1. 4.1 Duration

      These Terms and Conditions remain in effect for an indefinite period until the User's Player Account is terminated in accordance with these Terms.
      
      The Operator reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate a User's Player Account without prior notice or compensation if the account remains inactive for a period of 13 months.
      
      However, after 12 months of inactivity, the User may receive an email, sent to the address provided in their profile, notifying them that their Player Account will be closed due to inactivity. If the account remains inactive for an additional one (1) month, resulting in a total inactivity period of 13 months, the account will be automatically closed, and any remaining credits will revert to the Operator.
      
      

   2. 4.2 Termination

      1. 4.2.1. Closure of the Player Account by the Operator

         In addition to this, the Operator reserves the right to close the Player Account in particular in the following cases

         
         
         • The Operator believes that the User has violated one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions;
         • In case of mere suspicion or observation by the Operator of fraud or unlawful activity by the User or attempted unlawful use of the Site, software or Services, including the use of another User's Player Account (even with the User$'s consent) or the use of stolen debit cards;
         • In the event of any act of piracy or attempted illicit use of the Site;
         • The User has attempted to use the prohibited assistance of artificial intelligence software when participating in online games;
         • The User has not provided all the necessary documents to validate his Player Account;
         • The information, documents or materials communicated to the Operator are incomplete or inaccurate;
         • The conditions for registration are not/no longer fulfilled;
         • The User is subject to a ban on gambling;
         • In case of misuse of the account opening procedure ;
         • In the event of non-compliance with the rules of the game and/or the promotion which are permanently accessible on the Site;
         • Any acts or attempts of collusion between Users.

      2. 4.2.2.1 Closure of the Player Account by the User

         The User has the possibility at any time to close his Player Account on the Site. The User will receive an email confirmation of the closure of his Player Account.

      3. 4.2.2.2 Self-exclusion

         The closure provided for in article 4.2.2.1 is independent of the application for self-exclusion which may be submitted to the Gaming Commission and which will have an impact both on the gaming rooms/betting, casino and on the online sites. The User is recommended to fill in the self-exclusion form available on the Gaming Commission's website. Like the Gambling Commission, the Operator supports and promotes Responsible Gaming. It is for this reason that we believe that a self-exclusion should be requested centrally from the Gambling Commission and not just from one Operator. Exclusion forms can be found on the Gambling Commission's website: www.gamingcommission.be, at the top left of the menu displayed by clicking on the tab "Player Protection", followed by "Banning" and clicking on "https://gamingcommission.be/en/protection-of-players/access-ban/voluntary-request" .
         
         In addition, each Player has the possibility to request a break, to self-exclude for a period of 6 months or even to request a permanent self-exclusion from the Site by making an explicit request via [email protected]
         
         

      4. 4.2.3 Consequences of termination of the Player Account

         In the event that a Player Account is closed in accordance with Article 4.2.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, the Operator shall have a right of retention over the sums in the Player Account in order to collect any administrative costs and damages owed by the User.
         Following termination, for whatever reason, the User agrees to:

         
         
         • stop using the Services;
         • destroy all documents in its possession, custody, power or control.
         
         

         The Parties shall have no further obligations to each other, except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, and subject to their rights and obligations expressly accepted prior to termination.
         
         For all the situations described under 4.2, except the one in 4.2.2.2, involving the Gambling Commission, if the User's Player Account has less than €50.00 the User must request payment from customer support at the same time as the request to close the account. If the User's Player Account contains more than €50.00, the User can request payment himself/herself.
         
         In case the User has applied to the Gaming Commission for self-exclusion, the User must contact customer support who will handle the payment request.

    Ethical and responsible gaming

    The Operator invites the User to play in a moderate and responsible manner.

12. Article 12

    Notice of Fraudulent Practices

    The Games and Services are available exclusively on the Website.
    
    The Operator informs its Users of the possibility that third parties may attempt to fraudulently impersonate the Operator in order to obtain Users' personal data and to carry out unlawful activities.
    
    For the benefit of the User, a list of fraudulent practices that are sometimes carried out by such subjects is provided below:
    

    • Attempting to register domains similar to the Operator's by copying the logo and appearance of the Operator's Website in order to confuse and mislead the User.
    • Send an e-mail to the User, pretending to be the Operator and asking the User to click on a link in the e-mail.
    • Posting promotions on Social Networks posing as the Operator and asking you to enter a set of personal data or click on a link to enter a prize draw for example.

    
    
    This type of practice is known as phishing and aims to illegally obtain User data (e.g. passwords or credit card numbers).
    
    To avoid becoming a victim of these practices, it is important that the User :
    

    • Accesses only the Operator's official website.
    • Ignores emails or links in Social Networks where you are asked to click on a link and enter personal information.

    
    
    Furthermore, the Operator warns the User that it could be possible during the Games, pop- up messages may appear in which, through the fraudulent use of the Operator's trade name and brand, the User is invited to fill in a questionnaire in exchange for a gift or gift voucher of a certain value. These are not promotions by the Operator and the gifts indicated do not exist.
    
    In the circumstances described above, the User must take the utmost care and report such behaviour to the Operator immediately. The telephone number and e-mail address for contacting the Operator for this purpose are available on the Operator's Website.
    
    The Operator provides the above information to inform and educate, but this information does not imply professional advice.
    
    The Operator shall not be liable for any fraudulent use of the Operator's trademark by third parties.
    
    Likewise, the Operator warns its Users that it is not in a position to control the programs or files that may be placed on the User's computer while browsing the Internet, and recommends that the User take the necessary preventive and security measures (such as installing antivirus software and taking constant care of security updates), so that the User is protected against possible attacks by third parties. If the User is aware of any fraudulent actions, he/she may contact the Operator and attempt to take the necessary measures indicated in this regard.

    The conditions of participation in the competition, including in particular the opening and closing dates, the nature and value of the prizes to be won, and the rules for awarding the prizes to the User, shall be specified in detail in the Rules and laid down on a case-by-case basis by the Operator.
