(i) Where there is an excessive frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Wagers (by comparison with betting norms) placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time;
(ii) Where there is an excessive frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of Wagers placed on the same selection(s) and where the theoretical probability of said selection(s) winning at the time of Wager(s) placement, based on the odds covered on the selection(s) at the time of Wager placement, is largely inconsistent with the theoretical probability of the same selection(s) winning calculated using their starting prices;
(iii) Where the integrity of an event (or events) has been called into question, including, for example, but not limited to where one (or more) of the participants in an event displays exceptional form which PSI reasonably believes was known to you or someone connected to you at the time of Wager’s placement but was concealed from the public generally in order to gain an unfair advantage in any Wagers placed on that event (or those events);

(vi) Where PSI reasonably suspects that you have opened duplicate Accounts or where it reasonably suspect that second or subsequent Accounts are under common control with your Account with a view to concealing the true worth, nature or pattern of Wagers placed by you or on your behalf, even if second or subsequent Accounts are opened under different names;
(vii) Where PSI otherwise believes, acting reasonably, that you are acting in concert with others or that you are acting other than on your own behalf;

(ix) Unusual betting activity that cannot be explained and is indicative of match fixing, the manipulation of an event, misuse of inside information, or other prohibited activity.
(b) In the case of any Suspicious Betting, and without restricting other remedies available to PSI under applicable law, PSI may, acting reasonably, and depending on the circumstances:
(i) Request such further information from you as may be reasonably required by PSI to investigate whether the Wager or Wagers constitute Suspicious Betting;
(ii) Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof) pending the receipt by PSI of satisfactory evidence from you in order for it to determine (acting reasonably) that a placed Wager does not constitute Suspicious Betting.

(iii) Suspend or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), usually for no longer than thirty (30) days but where relevant for such longer period of time as may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by PSI, any sport governing body, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party);
(iv) Void a Wager or a string of connected Wagers (including for example multiples) prior to the event. Where possible, PSI shall communicate to you in advance that the Wager(s) has (or have) been voided prior to the (first) event the subject of the Wager(s);

(vi) Where there is an excessive frequency and/or unusual pattern of Wagers placed on the same selection(s) in a short space of time and where PSI has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Wagers are connected Wagers, limit the payment of winnings in respect of those Wagers (and where necessary with such limitation applied across multiple accounts) to the maximum payout for individual Wagers on any particular market or markets as set out in the Betting Rules.
(c) Where PSI has reasonable grounds to believe that you have participated in, or have been connected with, any type of Suspicious Betting, it shall use reasonable efforts to investigate such matter, including, but not limited to, through the use of various collusion, suspicious betting, fraud and cheating detection practices which are used in the gambling industry.
(d) Where a Wager is deemed to be, or is declared, void by PSI prior to an event, any sum deducted from your Account with respect to that Wager shall be credited back to your Account.
(e) PSI reserves the right to terminate an Account if it reasonably suspects any Suspicious Betting in connection with that Account.
(f) PSI reserves the right to seek to recover from you any losses it suffers that are directly or indirectly connected to any of the activities deemed to be Suspicious Betting.

(d) Withdrawals. PSI performs a number of controls and checks before any withdrawal request is processed. These checks are part of PSI’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the security of customers’ Account and funds. PSI may request a copy of a valid government issued identification from you to confirm your identity when you request a withdrawal.

PSI endeavors to process withdrawals within five (5) calendar days, however this timeline may be impacted by PSI’s internal control procedures and the time it takes to receive any requested documentation. The availability of withdrawn funds may be subject to standard banking restrictions.
(e) Third Party Payment Processors. PSI may use one or more third party payment processors to process deposit and withdrawal requests. You acknowledge and understand that PSI’s payment processors may impose limits on the number of bank accounts you may associate with your Account, impose limits on the number of credit or debit cards you may use on the Service, perform ‘know-your-customer’ procedures to verify your identity, and perform anti-money laundering, anti-fraud, and source of funds verification when you deposit and withdrawal funds to and from your Account.
(f) Eligible Balance. In order to facilitate the provision of the Services to you in the Permitted Jurisdictions, PSI allows you to direct PSI to make your Eligible Balance (as defined below) available to you for wagering in each Permitted Jurisdiction in which you have an Account. As you travel into each Permitted Jurisdiction, you must consent to PSI making your Eligible Balance available in your Account for the Permitted Jurisdiction in which you are physically located while you use the Services. Each Permitted Jurisdiction may have its own criteria in determining whether certain funds are permitted to be used for wagering, which shall be the determination of existing funds that will be made available to you in each Permitted Jurisdiction (the “Eligible Balance”). For example, if you have an Account in a Permitted Jurisdiction which permits credit card deposits and subsequently travel to another Permitted Jurisdiction which prohibits credit card deposits, your Eligible Balance for wagering will not include funds that are associated with credit card deposits. You hereby acknowledge and agree that certain Permitted Jurisdiction may restrict the availability of certain portions of the funds in your Account for wagering, and in such instances, such portions of funds in your Account remains on your Account and may be withdrawn from your Account, but will not be an Eligible Balance for wagering within that Permitted Jurisdiction. Funds, as used in this section, shall mean cash and cash equivalent, including without limitation, bonus bets, bonus spins, eligible cashback, and other credits, available to be used for wagering purposes within the Services.
10. PLACING WAGERS
(a) Customers can only wager up to the amount of the Eligible Balance or the limit as set out in the Betting Rules, whichever is the lesser. The minimum and maximum wager per selection is determined exclusively by PSI and is stated in the App.
(b) PSI reserves the right to accept or decline the whole or part of any proposed wager.
(c) Wagers placed by you prior to the receipt by PSI of cleared funds from a payment processor may be voided at PSI’s sole discretion.
(d) Each Wager will be given an individual number as confirmation of the wager. Wagers will be valid (subject to meeting the criteria for placing a wager laid down in the Terms) if accepted by the App and a wager confirmation code is provided by PSI. PSI is not liable for the settlement of any wagers where it has not issued a confirmation of acceptance of the wager or where it is unable to display that wager in the ‘My Bets’ pages of the Service. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all of the details of each wager are correct. Once a wager has been confirmed by PSI, that wager cannot be canceled by the customer. If you have any concern as to whether your wager has been accepted, please log in and go to the ‘My Bets’ pages of the Service where details of all live wagers entered into by you will be displayed.
(e) YOU MUST EXERCISE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT IN PLACING A WAGER. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL SPORTS DATA, ANALYSIS, NEWS, EDITORIAL CONTENT, REPORTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, SUGGESTIONS, AND OTHER INFORMATION PRESENTED ON THE APP, THE SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE BY, PSI, AND/OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES AND/OR PERSONNEL ARE PROVIDED ‘AS IS’ WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ON THEIR ACCURACY, CORRECTNESS, TIMELINESS, OR USEFULNESS. FURTHER, IN THE CASE OF LIVE BETTING EVENTS, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED WITH THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION IN THE SERVICE IN RELATION TO THE RELEVANT EVENT, INCLUDING FOR EXAMPLE (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION), THROUGH DELAYED COVERAGE, A SLOW CONNECTION OR EQUIPMENT, DELAYED SCORING OR OTHER DATA UPDATES, OR OTHER SYSTEM FLAWS, FAULTS, ERRORS OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION.

PSI 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 or game is operated.
(i) On occasion the prices available across the various Services may not be the same: for example, a price on an App may not be the same as those prices available on other Services. PSI accepts no liability for the fact that a customer could have obtained a different price through some other medium.
(j) Guaranteed prices and other special offers or promotions are available at the discretion of PSI and can be restricted on an individual Account basis at any time.

PSI shall not be under any further obligation to advise you of any such background check.

PSI may decide, in its sole discretion, to block your Account and/or restrict funds in your Account on the basis of such background check.
(m) With the exception of Live Betting events, Wagers are accepted up to the off-time of the event or a pre-determined time, whichever is earlier.

In such circumstances, PSI will normally return your stake.
(n) PSI reserves the right to impose a bet delay on any Live Betting event.
(o) PSI 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 PSI.

(q) 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 Services. If you have any concerns or complaints, please contact support@espnbet.com. If you feel you have exhausted all reasonable means to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant Gaming Authority. The contact information and dispute resolution process for the relevant Gaming Authority are listed in the Jurisdiction Terms https://espnbet.com/legal/state-terms.

b. by PSI using its reasonable discretion.
(u) Further, in the case of active event manipulation being confirmed as having taken place on any event or series of events (by the appropriate sports governing bodies or by any other means), PSI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend any wagers placed on such events, either by any individual identified as having misused Inside Information or by any other individual who in the reasonable opinion of PSI is connected to, acting in conjunction with, or in any way involved with such individual or the event manipulation.

(b) In the case of any palpable 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) for sports and event betting, Wagers will be settled at the correct price at the time of acceptance.

ii. DELEGATION CLAUSE
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims or disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this arbitration provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, this sentence, the Class Action Waiver in Section 26(c) and the Severability clause in Section 29(d)), or whether a party has waived the right to arbitrate through litigation conduct or otherwise are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.
iii. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES
The AAA’s rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever substantive relief would be available in a court under applicable law or in equity on an individual claim, including, without limitation, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages (which will be governed by the constitutional standards applicable in judicial proceedings), declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim), and attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitrator shall apply applicable statutes of limitations and privilege rules that would apply in a court proceeding. The arbitration hearing will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside, or at another place mutually agreeable to the parties. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties, except for any appeal rights under the FAA, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination or breach of this Agreement, termination of the Services or your account and any bankruptcy. If there is a conflict between the arbitration provision, on the one hand, and this Agreement or the AAA’s rules, on the other hand, this arbitration provision shall control.
iv. ARBITRATION COSTS
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, PSI will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of filing fees should be submitted to AAA along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and PSI will make arrangements to pay all necessary filing fees directly to AAA. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, PSI will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The parties will bear their respective attorney, expert, and witness fees and costs, unless applicable law or the AAA rules provide otherwise. PSI will always pay fees and costs that are required by law or that are necessary to make this arbitration provision enforceable.
(c) CLASS ACTION WAIVER
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file or participate in a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action or seek relief on a class basis in court or in arbitration. The parties also agree not to join or consolidate claims with claims by or against any other person.
(d) SEVERABILITY
If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate these Terms or the remaining portions of this arbitration provision, except that:
i. The parties acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver in Section 26(c) is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between them and is non-severable from this arbitration provision. If the Class Action Waiver in Section 26(c) is limited, voided or found unenforceable and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted, then this arbitration provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated; and
ii. If a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the Class Action Waiver in Section 26(c) or elsewhere in this arbitration provision prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case, the parties will request that the court stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.
(e) THIRTY-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT AND NOT BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY MAILING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: 825 BERKSHIRE BOULEVARD, SUITE 200, WYOMISSING, PA 19610, ATTN: PENN SPORTS INTERACTIVE, LLC. THE WRITTEN NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USED TO CREATE THE ACCOUNT VIA THE SERVICES AND IT MUST BE SENT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE CREATION OF AN ACCOUNT VIA THE SERVICES, OTHERWISE YOU SHALL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THOSE PARAGRAPHS. IF YOU OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, PSI ALSO WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. OPTING OUT OF ARBITRATION WILL NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER TERM OF THESE TERMS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PSI (OR ITS AFFILIATES).
(f) EXCEPTION - SMALL CLAIMS COURT CLAIMS
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. However, if the dispute is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, the dispute will be subject to arbitration.
(g) VENUE FOR LITIGATION
Solely to the extent the arbitration provision set forth above does not apply, or for purposes of either party enforcing an award granted to it pursuant to arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or, if federal subject matter jurisdiction is lacking, then in the state courts located in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The parties expressly hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the aforesaid courts for any litigation, hereby also consent to personal jurisdiction in said courts for any litigation and waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction said courts over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) any Governing Documents or the Services, and (b) any acts or omissions of PSI in connection with any Governing Documents or the Services.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its respective intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending or independently of the resolution of any dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth above.
(h) ONE YEAR TIME LIMIT
The parties agree to commence any arbitration proceeding (or court action if applicable) with respect to these Terms within one (1) year after the claim arises. The parties agree that a proceeding commenced after this date is barred.
30. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Terms or any Governing Documents, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms.

32. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Governing Documents constitutes the entire agreement between you and PSI concerning your access to and use of the Service. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and PSI with respect to such subject matter. The failure of PSI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of the Terms. It is the express wish of the parties that the Terms and all related documents be drawn up in English.
