Article 1 and 2, RGA: Services and terms and conditions
EXPLANATION - Articles 1 and 2 of the Responsible Gaming Agreement (RGA) explain that by participating in games of chance under this agreement, you understand and accept that you may win or lose. The agreement is accompanied by the Gaming Terms and Conditions (GT&C) and various policies that are integral to the agreement. The operator may also provide additional guidelines that explain how these policies relate to specific in-game offerings, including options to purchase in-game features. It is important to carefully consider these offerings and understand that accepting them binds you to the applicable guidelines.
Article 1
1.1. This agreement (the: “Responsible Gaming Agreement”, the: “Agreement”, or: “RGA”) sets forth an offer as meant in Article 6:217, Section 1 of the Curaçao Civil Code (“CCC”) to the consumer (“You”, the: “Player”, or the: “End User”) to participate in games of chance (the: “Games”) of which the outcome is determined primarily by random or unpredictable events (the: “Gaming Service”). The Gaming Service is offered via access to a secure and personal area (the: “Gaming Environment”) of the Brand: Project_Name365.com (the: “Brand”), which may also include alternate designations (the: “Aliases”). The Gaming Service is meant to be used for Your personal entertainment only.
1.2. The Gaming Environment is operated by GSR Technology N.V., a company that has its statutory seat and registered office in Curaçao (the: “Operator”, the: “Gaming Service Organizer”, “Organizer”).
1.3. The Gaming Service is operated under the license 1668/JAZ, issued by the Governor of Curaçao to date 1 October 1996 under the ordinance (the: “Ordinance”) of June 8, 1993 (the: “Gaming License”) of the permanent intermediary Cyberluck Curaçao N.V., a company that has its statutory seat and registered office in Curaçao, trading under the name: “Curaçao eGaming” (the: “Intermediary”). The Minister of Finance of Curaçao has undermandated Stichting Gaming Control Board (the: “Gaming Control Board”), a private foundation that has its statutory seat and registered office in Curaçao, to regulate the Gaming License.
1.4. Under the Agreement and its GT&C contained herein, You and the Operator may agree under various conditions, elements and factors, to bind an entitlement (the: “Stake”), to a specific and predominantly uncertain and unpredictable outcome of a Game.

If the outcome of the Bet is not declared in Your favor (the: “Loss”), You shall have forfeited Your Stake.
1.5. In addition to the offerings as set forth in section 1.4., it is at the discretion of the Operator to allow You to be eligible to simultaneously participate in a special, concurrent Game (“Jackpot Game”) of which the outcome may lead to the Win of an accumulated Prize (“Jackpot Win”). In addition to winning a Prize, You may also be eligible to receive a benefit that is gained, not by participating in a Game, but for other reasons, such as to provide You with an incentive (the: “Promotion”). A Promotion is not a Prize. The offer is often of a temporary nature, subject to important restrictions and may be abated by the Operator upon expiration.
1.6. Under the Agreement, the Intermediary is appointed by the Organizer and You to assist in resolving any argument, disagreement, controversy or dissension (a: “Dispute”) pertaining to the Gaming Service, that the Organizer and the Player were not able to amicably resolve amongst themselves, by binding decision as meant in article 7:900, section 2, CCC (the: “Binding Decision”). For this purpose, the Intermediary, the cost to be borne by the Organizer, validates and registers the Brand, the rules and conditions, including changes and updates, that apply to the Gaming Service, making this information available to the Organizer and to You whenever requested (the: “Intermediary Service”). The Intermediary assigns a unique validation reference to each updated version of the Agreement and the GT&C contained herein, to be clearly marked at the top of the registered and validated document.

Article 3, RGA: About the Gaming Environment
EXPLANATION - Article 3 of the Responsible Gaming Agreement (RGA) explains that to participate in the Games, you need to register and create an account, containing a balance that represents your entitlement to credits (Game Credits) and other relevant information for game participation. It is important to understand that not all credits can be converted into real-world money or goods. The operator has the right to modify or terminate the availability, use, or transferability of credits.
Article 3, RGA
3.1. In order to be able to participate in the Games, You have to obtain access to the Gaming Environment as meant in section 1.1. For this purpose, You are required to register Your credentials. By registering, You are assigned a personal ledger with the Brand (the: “Account”). The Account contains one or more overviews (the: “Credit Balance”, or: “Balance”), displaying Your entitlement to the total amount of credits (“Game Credits” or: “Credits”), as well as other information that might be relevant to You for the purpose of participation in the Games.
3.2. You acknowledge, agree and accept that whether Credits can be considered resources of economic and intrinsic value (“Assets”), depends on the type of Credits:
- Credits that have been purchased by exchanging real-world currency for Credits via a deposit (the: “Deposit”), crediting those Credits to Your Account (“Deposited Credits”), are considered Assets. An exchange that has been compromised by a chargeback, reversal or otherwise, does not qualify as a Deposit;
- Credits obtained through regular gameplay or promotional means are not considered Assets (“Non-Deposited Credits”);
- Non-Deposited Credits may only become Assets if they have been specifically marked by the Operator as transferable (“Transferable Credits”) into real-world money, tangible goods or services outside the Gaming Environment via means of withdrawal (the: “Withdrawal”). If not, they are to be deemed non-transferable (“Non-Transferable Credits”).
3.3. You acknowledge, agree and accept that:
- the distinction between Deposited Credits and Non-Deposited Credits is essential;
- You shall abide by the terms and conditions related to each type of Credit as outlined in the Account Policy;
- the Operator retains the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the availability, use, or transferability of both Deposited and Non-Deposited Credits at its sole discretion, in compliance with the Account Policy;
- You should seek legal or financial advice if You have any questions regarding the nature, value, or transferability of Credits before making any decisions related to their usage or disposition.
3.4. In compliance with the Account Policy, the Account may accumulate Credits:
- if You make a Deposit, as meant in section 3.2., subsection (a);
- if You make a Win as meant in section 1.4.;
- if the Operator makes an upward adjustment to the Balance (the: “Adjustment”) due to a:
(1) given Promotion;
(2) given compensation, for example, that is meant to negate a negative customers experience;
(3) correction of a previous downward adjustment.
3.5. In compliance with the Account Policy, the Account may dissipate Credits:
- if You make a Withdrawal as meant in section 3.2., subsection (c);
- if You purchase of a Feature (“Feature Purchase”), including, but not limited to the purchase of extra spins (“Free Bets”);
- if You incur a Loss as meant in section 1.4.;

(1) an expired Promotion;
(2) restrictions and limitations in as set forth in the Account Policy, including but not limited to a
correction of an Overbalance as defined in article 4, section 4, GT&C;
(3) a violation of the Anti-Abuse Policy, as set forth in the Anti-Abuse Policy;
3.6. You acknowledge, agree and accept that the Balance shown only reflects Your entitlement to the total amount of Credits, as meant in section 3.2. (“Total Credit Entitlement”, or: “TCE”). In order to calculate Your entitlement to the total of Withdrawals (“Total Withdrawal Entitlement”, or: “TWE”), the Balance needs to be consolidated in compliance with sections 3.4. and 3.5., resulting in the following equation: “TWE = Deposit Total + Win Total + Total Upward adjustments - Withdrawal Total - Feature Purchases - Loss Total - Total downward adjustments”. You acknowledge, agree and accept that the difference between the Total Credit Entitlement and the Total Withdrawal Entitlement are Non-Transferable Credits as meant in section 3.2., subsection (c).
3.7. You acknowledge, agree and accept that the processing of payments is subject to a continuous process of scrutiny and review by financial institutions and that this may lead to significant delays and restrictions in the processing of Deposits as well as Withdrawals. Such delays may often be outside of the control of the Operator. You acknowledge, agree and accept that the payout of Your Total Withdrawal Entitlement may for this purpose or for other purposes be bound to a schedule of multiple installments (the: “Payout Schedule”), in compliance with the Withdrawal Policy.
3.8.
