Wagering Account Procedures

You may access your account and place wagers through the Site or our Application.*

*Arizona customers may utilize the Site to sign up for and manage their accounts, access race and account data, and process deposits and withdrawals. However, wagering is restricted to CI-VS’s automated telephone wagering system.

For your protection and privacy, a wagering account can only be accessed by the registered account holder with either a valid account number and Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) or a valid username and password. If you register for an account that requires a password and/or username, then you will select your own password at the time of registration (or we may send you an e-mail notification with a randomly generated initial password), and you agree that: (i) You will not use a username (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else, may impersonate another person, belongs to another person, violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity, or is offensive. We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration information about yourself in connection with the registration process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete; (iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, password, and username – whether or not you authorized the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password or PIN and for restricting access to your device so that others may not access any password or PIN protected portion of the service using your name, account number, username, PIN, or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account, password, PIN, account number or username, or any other breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign your account or any account rights. We will not be liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations. If any information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or violates these Terms, any Additional Terms, or any applicable law, then we may suspend or terminate your account. We also reserve the more general and broad right to terminate your account or suspend or otherwise deny you access to it or its benefits – all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or liability.

For your benefit, wagers placed through CI-VS wagering systems are sent into combined (commingled) pools at the host racetrack and are subject to all host racetrack rules and restrictions. From time to time, CI-VS may operate separate wagering pools from the host racetrack when pools cannot be commingled. Separate pools will be subject to rules and regulations of the applicable jurisdictional authority.

All wagers are considered final when a confirmation is received from our totalizator service provider. If for some reason, we are unable to commingle your wager with the host pool, your wager will be refunded to your account.

We reserve the right to refuse any wagering transaction for any reason.

Proceeds from successful wagers will be deposited into your account as soon as each race is posted official, and winning payouts are available from the host racetrack.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate any account at any time and for any reason. In the event, your account is terminated, or you close your account, we shall return to you the balance of any funds in your account at the time of termination or closure. If the balance of funds in your account at the time of termination or closure is less than $2.00, we will retain the balance as an account termination fee. If your account is inactive for six (6) consecutive months, a $2.00 per month account maintenance fee may be assessed until the balance reaches zero, and the account is terminated.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refer any dishonored financial instruments to collection agencies, check registries and credit reporting agencies and to collect any fees or charges incurred due to dishonored financial instruments and expenses incurred as a result of our collection efforts, from the responsible account holder.

You authorize us to obtain, at our discretion, credit bureau reports in connection with your request for an account. If an account is opened, we may obtain, at our discretion, credit bureau reports in connection with the review of your account.

Customers can only wager up to the amount held within their account. CI-VS reserves the right to accept or decline the whole or part of any proposed wager.

Each wager will be given an individual number as confirmation of the wager. Wagers will be valid if accepted by the CI-VS totalizator service provider, whether or not the customer receives the wager code. We are not liable for the settlement of any wagers where we have not issued a written confirmation of acceptance of the wager. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all of the details of their wagers are correct. If you have any concern as to whether your wager has been accepted, please log in and go to the ‘My Account’ page of the Site where details of all live wagers entered into by you will be displayed. You must exercise your own judgment in placing a wager, and you hereby confirm that you have not relied on the advice of any CI-VS employee relating to any wager. You agree to pay us for all wagers that are placed with us using your account.

Please familiarize yourself with wagering terminology and how the various wagers operate. If you have any queries relating to the foregoing, please contact us. CI-VS cannot accept any responsibility if you place a wager in circumstances where you do not fully understand any of the terms involved or how the wager operates. Guaranteed prices and other Promotions (defined below) are available at the discretion of CI-VS and can be restricted on an individual account basis at any time. CI-VS is not responsible for any taxes that may be payable by you, whether on any wagers, on any winnings or otherwise.

CI-VS reserves the right to void any or all wagers made by any group of people acting in conjunction with each other, or any individual acting alone, in an attempt to defraud CI-VS. CI-VS may, at its sole discretion and without any requirement to give reasons, exclude any customer from the service generally or from receiving selected Promotions (e.g., guaranteed best price; bonuses; free bets; enhanced prices; and money-back specials) and any other promotions and offers introduced by us from time to time.

In the event of there being a dispute over the time at which a wager was placed or whether a wager has been placed, then the time at which it was recorded (if recorded) on the transactional log will govern settlement. If an attempted wager was not recorded on the transactional log, no wager shall be deemed to have been placed. You should check your account balance each time you visit the Service.

It is a condition of our acceptance of wagers from you, and by offering to place a wager with us, you represent and warrant, that you are not prohibited from entering into the wager by any term of your contract of employment, these Terms and Conditions or any rule of a sport governing body or other professional body of which you are a member, which applies to you. In the event of any representation made by you in this Section proving to be false, CI-VS reserves the right to void wagers, suspend your account, and we shall not be obliged to pay any winnings which might otherwise have been payable in respect of the wager.

CI-VS makes every effort to ensure that no errors are made in prices offered or wagers accepted. However, human and/or systems’ errors may occasionally result in errors. CI-VS reserves the right to correct any obvious errors and to void any wagers placed where such have occurred. In the case of any blatant errors in prices transmitted (including, for example where the price being displayed is materially different from those available in the general market and/or the price is clearly incorrect, depending on all of the circumstances), wagers will be settled at the post-time odds.

Should funds be credited to a customer’s account in error, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify CI-VS of the error without delay. Any winnings subsequent to the error and prior to the notification of CI-VS, whether linked to the error or not, shall be deemed invalid and returned to, or otherwise be reclaimable by, CI-VS. Any monies which are credited to your account, or paid to you as a result of an error shall be deemed, pending resolution as set forth above to be held by you on trust for us and shall be immediately repaid to us when a demand for payment is made by us to you. Where such circumstances exist, if you have monies in your account, we may reclaim these monies from your account. We agree that we shall use reasonable endeavors to detect any errors and inform you of any such errors relating to you, your engagement with us, or your account, as soon as reasonably practicable. As soon as you suspect or become aware of an error you shall: (i) immediately cease wagering; and (ii) inform us as soon as reasonably practicable of any such error or suspected error. Where you have used monies which have been credited to your account or awarded to you as a result of an error to place subsequent wagers, we may cancel such wagers and/or withhold any winnings which you may have won with such monies, and if we have paid out on any such wagers, such amounts shall be deemed to be held by you on trust for us and shall be immediately repaid to us when a demand for payment is made by us to you. If you are incorrectly awarded any winnings as a result of (a) any human error; or (b) any bug, defect or error in the Service, then CI-VS will not be liable to pay you any such winnings, and you agree to refund any such winnings that may have been paid to you as a result of such error or mistake.

Any wager that results in proceeds of more than $5,000.00 is subject to reporting and withholding if the amount of such proceeds is at least 300 times as large as the amount wagered.

Disclosures and Policies

• Gambling to win money to resolve financial problems
• Being unable to stop playing; winning or losing
• Gambling until you have spent all of your money
• Selling personal property to continue gambling
• Your family and loved ones suffer from neglect due to gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Gambling more money in order to recover from previous loses (chasing)
