ART. 3 SERVICES OFFERED

CASINOKING offers users a legally authorized online gaming experience, approved by the Belgian Gaming Commission. The offer consists of games of chance.

ART. 4 DEFINITIONS

The words and terms below, when used in this contract, have the meaning given here, unless the context explicitly implies otherwise.

A Balance is the personal account of a user at CASINOKING, in which funds can be credited or debited under certain conditions.

A Bonus is a monetary amount that is added to the bonus balance of the user account, which can be used , in certain cases, at certain times and on certain games as a stake and, in certain cases, be withdrawn after predetermined conditions, including but not limited to playthrough conditions, are met.

The competent authorities are the Belgian authorities.

The contract is the contractual relationship with the user managed by the terms and conditions.

A Financial institution is a bank and/or other institution, subject to the applicable national regulations regarding financial or similar services.

Force Majeure refers to any event or situation that transcends a person’s reasonable control and leads to the Party concerned being temporarily or definitively unable to fulfil its contractual obligation. Regarding this contract, the term force majeure includes superior force (including the refusal or cancellation of the necessary license), war, pandemic, riot and / or any cause beyond the control of the party whose performance is affected thereby.

Free spins are free or partially free periods of play in online games of chance which can be added to a user account under certain conditions.

A Game session is the period between the start-up and shutdown of a game, in which one or more periods of play may take place.

Loyalty is a rating system for each user, based on his/her stakes, deposits, etc.

Period of play is the time from the Stake until the result.

The playthrough is the number of times or the amount that must be bet for each bonus before any winnings, under certain conditions, may be withdrawn. For most games, the full bet contributes to the playthrough. In Video Poker the playthrough only counts for 30% of the total bet. Table games don’t contribute, except for the live table games which contributes for 30%. For example: The user receives €10,00 bonus with a playthrough x30. This means that a total amount of bets of €300,00 is required before the bonus credits are transferred to the withdrawable balance. Each time the user bets €1,00, this will contribute to the playthrough, meaning the user now only have to bet a total of €299,00 before the playthrough is reached.
