(b) you have not logged in to your account; or

• you have not made any deposits or withdrawals in or from your account; or
• your account has been suspended by us for investigation or illegal or improper activity and such investigation has not progressed,

in each case for a continuous period of 12 months or more.

In such instances, we will endeavour to contact you using the contact details you have provided on registration (or such details as have subsequently been notified by you) to inform you of any funds remaining in your inactive account and to return such balance to you. You are solely responsible for keeping your registration and contact details up to date, and agree that we cannot be liable for any failure on your part to provide us with up to date and correct contact details.

The remaining amount of cash held in the account (if any) at the time of such closure will be donated to a charity of our choice.

2.15 Funds, Interest and charges

2.15.1 Segregation of Funds

We are required by our licence to inform customers about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of insolvency.

We hold customer funds separate from company funds in in a separate segregated bank account and in reserve funds which we hold with our payment processors. These funds are not protected in the event of insolvency.

This meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level: basic segregation. (Click here for more details)

Bingo Entertainment have created a Customer Deposit Account to segregate Deposits received from the players via the various Payment Methods, however, the Deposits may not be protected in the event of Bingo Entertainment entering into administration. Deposits are first maintained as part of the float in the various Payment Methods. From time to time (normally once a week), any excess funds held in the float are transferred from the respective Payment Methods to the Customer Deposit Account. Sufficient funds are maintained in the Payment Method float as well as the Customer Deposit Account to ensure that Bingo Entertainment is able to meet Withdrawals. Deposits are segregated from Bingo Entertainment’s corporate fund accounts and Deposits are only transferred from the Customer Deposit Account to the corporate fund accounts when the aggregated balances in the various Payment Method’s float and Customer Deposit Account are more than the aggregate of the players’ outstanding balances in Player Accounts. The amount transferred is limited to an amount such that there are always sufficient funds in the various Payment Methods and the Customer Deposit Account to meet the players’ Withdrawals in the event that they withdraw all of their funds from their Player Accounts. Internal Controls are put in place to ensure the Deposits are properly accounted for including monthly reconciliations between the total of Payment Methods and the total of all the individual Player Account balances as well as independent review of the operation of the Payment Methods by both internal and external auditors. There are no set off arrangements in place in relation to the operation of the Payment Methods, Customer Deposit Account and the Players’ Accounts. Further, the Customer Deposit Account has not been used as security for any liabilities of the company.

2.15.2 Interest and Charges

Deposits on your account shall not attract any interest payments. All such deposits will be treated as advanced payment for intended wagering on the Website. We reserve the right to make a charge directly on your account in respect of deposits or withdrawals which we believe have been made for purposes primarily associated with reasons other than gaming on the Website. If we suspect you have made deposits and/or withdrawals to and from your account in order to obtain goods or services from a third party (such as Air Miles), without a commensurate use of the Website Service, we reserve the right to charge a 5% handling fee, to be deducted from the withdrawal to cover our administration time and all bank charges associated with the relevant deposits.

13. Setting your own daily and monthly limits

13.1

• Players are able to set their own daily and monthly deposit limits.
• To do this simply log in and go to 'My Account', and then click on 'Responsible Gambling'.
• Daily Limits - minimum you can set is £10.00 - Maximum you can set is £250.00
• Monthly Limits - minimum you can set is £10.00 - Maximum you can set is £2500.00
• If you increase your limits this will take 24 hours to come into effect. If, however, you have locked your limit into place, you will not be able to increase your limit until the lock period has elapsed.
• If you decrease your limits they will immediately come into effect.
• We endeavour to ensure players cannot deposit more money than the limit they set but we will not reimburse any player who for technical reasons are able to spend more than their limit.

14. Self Exclusion

14.1

At Bingo Entertainment, we want everyone to enjoy playing our games. However we do recognise that a very small number of players would wish to restrict or even cease playing. We therefore provide a self exclusion facility that allows players to close their account for a period of 6 months, 12 months or up to 5 years during which time it will not be possible for the account to be re-opened for any reason. You can also request to close your account permanently.

To do this simply log in and go to 'My Account', and then click on 'Responsible Gambling'. When choosing the 6 month,12 month or 5 year self exclusion option, you will not qualify to receive any bonuses, or promotions we may offer during your self exclusion. You will also be self excluded from any emails or newsletters that we may send. If you choose to permanently exclude yourself from the site, this will be permanent and we would never reactivate your account for any reason.

Upon self-exclusion all future wagers, stage saved games, pre-purchased Bingo tickets, Loyalty Points, Bonus funds and entries in any promotions will be forfeited. We will not be able to reinstate these if the account is reopened after the self-exclusion period. All remaining balances less any active bonuses will be transferred to your bank card, bank account, paid by bank wire transfer or transferred to any other third party payment method which we make available.

14.2

During a self-exclusion agreement, we will employ reasonable automated checks to endeavour to ensure that you can no longer transact with Bingo Entertainment accounts. However, during your period of Self-Exclusion, you have an equal undertaking not to seek to circumvent the self-exclusion agreement by continuing to participate in gambling services via the Bingo Entertainment website. Please remember that if you inadvertently receive marketing material and continue to gamble, or you circumvent your agreement by, for example, continuing to gamble, opening and operating new accounts, and/or our automated checks and/or IT or software programs fail to recognise any attempt by you to circumvent your self-exclusion, we are under no obligation to return any deposits, winnings, or other funds in respect of such activity online.

14.3

Upon expiry of the self-exclusion period you may request to re-open a closed account by contacting our Customer Support team by phone on (0-808-168-4401) with the details of the account you wish to re-open. All requests to re-open a closed account will be reviewed by the Operator and if accepted access to the account will be given after a 24hr cooling off period.

14.4 Closing Accounts

You have the right to cancel and close your account and request payment of outstanding funds at any time. The Operator also reserves the right to temporarily suspend or permanently close your account (without assigning any reason). So long as you have complied with the foregoing obligations and the terms referred to in the terms and conditions, your outstanding funds, as recorded on the Operator's systems, will be repaid to you. Closure of an account will automatically render any open games, pre-purchased Bingo tickets, Loyalty Points, Bonus funds and entries in any promotions void. We may not be able to reinstate these if the account is reopened. All remaining balances less any active bonuses will be transferred to your credit card, transferred to your bank account or paid by any other third party payment method which we make available. We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that you are removed from our promotional lists within 72 hours of your account being closed but we are not responsible if you receive any form of promotional correspondence beyond this point party.

14.5 How to Close your Account

You may instruct us to close your account at anytime by contacting our Customer Support team or by emailing support@bingoentertainment.net with the username or registered email details of the account you wish to close. Such termination shall occur within 1 hour after receipt by the Operator of your request and we will confirm the closure of your account by email. You accept that you shall remain responsible for any activity on your account between advising us of your notification and the termination of your account by the Operator. The Operator is not liable for the non receipt of any account closure requests.

14.6 Re-opening your Account

You may request to re-open a closed account by contacting our Customer Support team by phone on (0-808-168-4401) with the details of the account you wish to re-open.
