1. Client Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each client to ensure that they have a thorough understanding of the nature of spread betting and the inherent risks involved. In addition, each client must also ensure they are aware of the terms and conditions which govern the specific markets quoted by SportsSpread. Where any confusion or any misunderstanding exists, the onus is on the client to clarify the issue. Our traders are happy to answer any questions regarding any of the markets in which we operate and it is assumed that the client is aware of all the information, which would have been provided had these questions been asked.

2. Disclaimer

SportsSpread will do its best to ensure that all information provided is accurate and up-to-date. However, in the unlikely event that we inadvertently provide inaccurate information, we accept no responsibility for this and the use to which this information may be put.

3. Event Postponed

Bets on any event, the duration of which is expected to be one day or less, which is postponed and not completed within 6 days of its original fixture date, will be void. Bets on any event, the duration of which is expected to be two or more days, which is not completed within 21 days of the day it was scheduled to be completed, will be void. It should be noted that a delay in the start time of an event does not affect the status of any bet on that event if the completion of the event conforms to the guidelines set out above.

4. Event Abandoned

When prices are offered on an event after the event has begun (i.e. in running betting or half-time updated prices) and the event is abandoned, all open bets will be settled at the mid-point of the last quote available before the event was abandoned. If, however, prices are offered during an event (i.e. in running betting) and a bet is closed before the event is abandoned, the bet will be settled on the basis of the price at which the bet was closed. If there is no 'latest quote' available at the time when the event is abandoned (i.e. no in running betting), all bets on the underlying event will be void.

5. Bets made on the basis of Correct Information

SportsSpread reserves the right to void any bet placed on the basis of incorrect information. Similarly, SportsSpread reserves the right to void any bet placed if it had been possible to determine the outcome of the bet at the time at which the bet was being placed. However, it may happen that an 'in running' bet is placed on the basis of an incorrect 'current score' in an event, in which case the bet will be adjusted to take into account the correct 'current score' at the time the bet was placed.

6. Special Markets

SportsSpread may, from time to time, quote prices on markets or events which may not be specifically referred to in our rules. The settlement of these bets will be based on SportsSpread's interpretation and determination. The decision of SportsSpread on the settlements will be final.

7. The Result and Final Settlement

The official result is final for settlement purposes. Final settlement on all bets will take place within 6 days of the day on which the underlying event was completed.

8. SBA Spread Betting Rules and Conditions

The Spread Betting Association (SBA) has formulated a set of sports spread-betting rules that the spread betting industry has agreed to be governed by. We agree that settlement of spread betting markets offered on our website and telephone service shall be governed by the general rules that have been put in place by the SBA, except in cases where the specific rules of a particular market on our site would differ from the standard rules. In these cases, our specific rules will supersede the general rules.

9. All markets are subject to stop losses except for index type markets with a defined definite outcome.

Please refer to the market information on the individual live market as the stop losses can be subject to change.

It is the responsibility of the client to verify that the bet has been accepted correctly and that any positions being held on the client account are correct.

SportsSpread.com accepts no responsibility for any total or partial failure of our responsibilities caused by an act of God or by any means beyond our control.

Spread betting is a leveraged product and as such you may lose more than your initial deposit or credit balance. Clients may be subject to margin calls at short notice whereby additional margin is required to maintain your open bet. If additional margin is not provided within the time required, an open bet may be closed at a loss and the client will be liable for the resulting deficit.

In the case where a clients’ losses or required margin exceeds their positive balance, SportsSpread.com reserve the right to recoup the remainder of the balance using a payment method previously registered on our systems by the client. SportsSpread.com will typically make at least one attempt to contact a client in advance of any such instances.

Most Markets have a stop loss. Losses are limited in these markets to the defined stop loss. In the markets where losses are unlimited the cash that you deposit with us does not limit your potential losses. A deposit is a sum of money credited to any account held by you with us, (deposited or won) that is available for you to bet against. If you incur losses on open bets we may require you to deposit additional funds ("margin") with us as a condition of maintaining your open bets.

It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they are fully aware of any price movements that might affect any open positions on their account. It is not our policy to contact clients to inform them of any negative movements on any open position(s).

All clients should be advised that they must provide identity documentation in the form of a driver’s license/passport and a proof of address in the form of a utility bill/bank statement dated within the last 3 months before they can withdraw funds from their account. The minimum withdrawal amount is £50 (or currency equivalent).

All new clients must wait 30 days after their initial deposit before a withdrawal can be processed on their account. This is due to security and compliance protocols. This is a mandatory condition which has been imposed on this business due to legacy fraudulent activity and is in no way a reflection of individual clients.

The maximum initial withdrawal limit after 30 days is €3,000 equivalent as a new client. The maximum withdrawal after 60 days is €5,000 in any 30-Day Period. For existing clients, the maximum cumulative withdrawal in any 30-day period thereafter cannot exceed €5,000 equivalent for all standard accounts.

Standard accounts can be upgraded and withdrawal limits increased by prior consent and are dealt with on a case by case basis.

By signing up to these terms and conditions all clients are agreeing to adhere to the SportsSpread.com KYC Policy. They must provide identity documentation in the form of a driver’s license/passport and a proof of address in the form of a utility bill/bank statement dated within the last 3 months to verify their accounts after opening the account online. We will not be able to facilitate withdrawals from accounts by way of bank transfer until accounts are fully verified. Furthermore, we may require evidence of the source of funds used for trading purposes by way of copies of bank statements or similar documentation. All accounts are subject to the SportsSpread.com KYC policy which may be altered from time to time to adjust for changes in relevant local legislation. We reserve the right to suspend any account which we feel is in breach of this policy.

Winnings from the new account promotions are subject to a 90-day withdrawal limit. Furthermore, winnings derived solely from bonuses are subject to the following conditions:
- (a) There is a maximum withdrawal of twice the amount received in bonuses or promotions in a 30-day period.
- (b) Any winnings in excess of this are then subject to the same turnover requirements as the original offer under a new 30-day period.
- (c) Funds deposited plus any winnings from a free bet have to be turned over twice before any withdrawals can be processed unless otherwise stated on individual offers.

We may assign or subcontract any or all of our rights and obligations of Our Agreement with You to a third party at any time, at our discretion. You may not, without Our prior written consent, assign or dispose of any of Your rights or obligations arising under this Agreement.

The firm may void any new account offer and /or any free bet offer, if we deem the spirit of the free bet offer is being abused. Similarly, if we find evidence of collusion between clients to unfairly take advantage of the offers, we reserve the right to immediately suspend the accounts in question.

All accounts must be operated by the registered named individual on the account. Accounts which breach this policy will be immediately suspended and all bets placed on the account may be deemed void and all funds held on the account may be forfeit.

Winnings derived from bonuses, goodwill gestures or any form of promotion cannot be withdrawn for at least 30 days. This is in addition to any turnover criteria attached to them. Turnover is always calculated as follows unless otherwise stated: Stake multiplied by half the width of the spread (SSV) on every bet placed.

Clients who receive goodwill and/or refund offers and are subsequently deemed by SportsSpread.com to have abused the spirit of the offer or manipulated it to receive risk free funds, will have their accounts closed and all transactions on their account voided.

Any client who receives a cash/bonus promotion but does not deposit any of their own funds may not withdraw the cash/bonus or any associated winnings for a 90-day period. The account must also be deemed 'active' during the 90-day period.

Any existing account which has been inactive for 12 months or more will be deemed to be a new account once it has become active again and will be subject to all terms and conditions associated with new accounts. The account will be deemed to be active again after the latest bet is placed following the period of inactivity.

SportsSpread.com offers a wide range of generous offers to its clients on an ongoing basis. These can include bonus offers, cash top ups, goodwill offers and occasional write offs. of small debit balances. These offers are designed to stimulate business activity for us by offering opportunities to new or existing clients to bet with very low risk or in some cases no risk at all to see if they subsequently wish to bet with their own funds. However, the company has to operate on a very low tolerance with anyone who chooses to abuse these. Therefore, if the company believes any such offers given by the company have been abused or in any way deliberately manipulated it deems the spirit in which the offer to have been proffered to be broken and the company may at its discretion void all transactions on the account.

Further, you agree you shall not make any statements Sports Spread that are untrue or would reasonably be considered to be derogatory.

Credit
As a spread betting company the provision of credit either directly via a sanctioned mutually agreed credit limit or indirectly via an account falling into a debit balance from adverse betting outcomes is a necessity.

The company has had to deal with hundreds of missed or delayed settlements of accounts that disrupt the business and therefore advise the following:
- (a) Any client who the company has had difficulty in settling their account the company reserves the right to apply an appropriate quid pro quo settlement agreement. In practical terms this means if a client takes three months to settle their account the company at its discretion may choose to only pay out after a three-month period when the client wins.
- (b) If an account is “inactive” (i.e. has not been logged into (or out), has not had funds deposited in it or withdrawn from it, nor has had a bet placed from it or a bet settled within it and which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include accounts which have been inactive as a result of self-exclusion) for longer than 12 consecutive months, then Sports Spread has the right to commence charging an administrative fee of €5 per month to be calculated with effect from the commencement date of inactivity. This fee shall continue to be levied until the earlier of (1) thirty months from the commencement date of inactivity (2) the account is closed, or (3) the customer recommences activity on his account.
