§13.
STAKE
-
The Company has the right to determine stakes for individual types of bets referred to herein at its own discretion.
-
The stake specified in a bet summary available in the Client’s bet history in the “My bets” tab is a stake which is binding for both Parties to a bet.
-
The maximum stake in a bet depends on the amount accepted by the Company when taking a bet and may differ for various sports disciplines and individual Clients. If a bet is higher than the value pre-determined by the Company (which may change without prior notice), the stake will be looked into individually. All bets sent for manual approval may be rejected, accepted in part or completely, regardless of the value of the stake paid by the Client. The Company reserves the right to reject each bet reported for approval. Each bet which, for any reason, has not been looked into before the beginning of an event will be automatically cancelled. The Company has the right to set separate limits for each Client and each bet type.
§14.
THE HIGHEST WINNING PAYOUT PER BET
-
The maximum odds are not limited in any way. The system may notify the Client of introduced limits when accepting a bet.
-
The Company has the right to set a limit on a winning payout (i.e. the amount to be paid out when all selected events are guessed correctly) at its own discretion for separate types of bets referred to herein, and also to limit the value of the stake (in proportion to the odds, so that the maximum winning payout does not exceed the limit).
-
The limit referred to above may be displayed in a visible place on lvbet.pl. If such limits are set, it will not be technically possible to make a bet exceeding the maximum winning payout on lvbet.pl website; a message may be displayed that it is necessary to enter a lower stake or to resign from a bet.
-
The number of bets made by one party is not limited in any way except for the cases provided for herein (e.g. § 15(2), §10(12)).
§15.
THE WINNING PAYOUT
-
The right to receive the winning payout arises in all types of bets when the result is guessed correctly and all the provisions hereof are observed.
-
The maximum winning payout for each bet/coupon is 300.000,00 zł (three hundred thousand zlotys) for each stake and for all types of bets, regardless of whether it is a single bet, a multiple bet, or a system of several columns, unless the Company determines otherwise. For example, in the last case, if the total payout on any column exceeds 300.000,00 zł (three hundred thousand zlotys), the Company will pay the Client no more than 300.000,00 zł (three hundred thousand zlotys) unless the Company determines otherwise. If it turns out that the User has opened several accounts, made the same bet several times, and, as a consequence, violated the provisions hereof, §5(14)(b) hereof will apply.
-
Minor errors in the name (designation) of a team member will not be taken into account if they do not affect the essence of the bet and if it is possible to determine without doubt who the person is, despite the obvious error. Examples:
-
In the offer concerning ski jumping, K. Stoch has been assigned to Austria instead of Poland by mistake. As it is a common knowledge that there is only one competitor with that surname in the competition and that he represents Poland, the error has no effect on the validity of the bet.
-
In the offer concerning tennis, Agnieszka Radwańska has been entered as Agnieszka Ragmańska by mistake. It is also a common knowledge that there is only one person with a similar surname in the competition; therefore, the bet remains valid.
-
In the offer concerning football, the match between FC Liverpool and Manchester United has been entered as FC Liverpool - Machster Utd by mistake. There is no doubt as to which teams are playing. The same applies when the Polish name of a city is replaced with an English one, e.g. AC Milan - FC Torino. That does not mislead clients; therefore, the bets remain valid.
-
The winning payout is made to an LVkonto account immediately after the announcement of the official result and its publication on lvbet.pl website, in line with §12 hereof and subject to § 17 hereof.
-
In exceptional cases, when the winning payout may not be made due to using up the daily capital for immediate payments specified in §17, the Company may make the payout after 3 calendar days after reporting the win, subject to §17, but no later than within 30 days following the date of announcing the official result. In the case of an unjustified suspension of the payout, the Company will pay statutory default interest for the period of suspending the payout.
§16
CERTIFICATE OF THE WINNING PAYOUT
-
Pursuant to §20(1) of the Act, the Company is obliged to issue a certificate of the winning payout at the winning party’s request. The procedure of issuing the certificate must be in line with the requirements specified under the provisions of the Act and executive regulations adopted based on the Act.
-
The Company is obliged to keep a register of issued certificates referred to in Sec. 1 above and to keep the copies of issued certificates for 5 years, counted since the end of the calendar year in which the party concerned won or received the winning payout.
-
Under Art. 20(5) of the Act, the Company is obliged to keep a register of winning payouts of at least 2,280 zł (two thousand two hundred and eighty zlotys).
§17
CAPITAL FOR IMMEDIATE PAYOUTS
The total daily capital for immediate winning payouts is PLN 100,000 (a hundred thousand zlotys). The Company issues payment instructions on a given day in the order of payout reports received from Clients. A day is understood as a period from 12.00 a.m. (noon) to 11.59 a.m. on the next day. If the capital for immediate daily payouts is not sufficient for all payout reports received on that day, the Company will issue payment orders within 3 working days calculating from the day following the date on which the Company received the payout report.
§18
RETURN OF BETS
-
The stake of a bet is returned if:
-
a game ended before completion (e.g. withdrawal of a player in tennis), except for the cases referred to in §12;
-
a game has been erroneously described and displayed with errors through the Company’s fault; that also applies to the situation when an obvious writing mistake, a system error, or an obvious mistake when entering data on the lvbet.pl website has been made. An obvious mistake may be a mistake of a person or a result of a technical issue leading to the publication of incorrect information on the lvbet.pl website. Examples of obvious mistakes may include an incorrectly displayed (inverted) handicap, incorrect under/over lines, incorrect odds (e.g. the odds of 25.0 instead of 2.50), an incorrect name of an event participant, an incorrect time of a match, or an obvious error in the system;
-
a bet was obviously made after the actual kick-off of a game, match, or any other event, or possibly during their course. However, this rule does not apply to “Live” bets;
-
an event is not played in the scheduled time and is not concluded within 30 or 15h (depending on a sports discipline as described in Detailed rules for each sports discipline). Multiple (Combi) bets will be settled again excluding the event which has not been played. Exception: if a selected event is a part of a tournament or another large sports competition, such as the Olympic Games, the World Championship, the European Championship etc. and the event has been postponed in the tournament, all bets remain valid until the event is completed within the scheduled tournament time;
-
the event was not completed with the official result or was interrupted and not ended within 30 or 15h (depending on a sports discipline as described in Detailed rules for each sports discipline). Exception: if a selected event is a part of a tournament or another large sports competition, such as the Olympic Games, the World Championship, the European Championship etc. and the event has been postponed in the tournament, all bets remain valid until the event is concluded within the scheduled tournament time;
-
the minimum number of players, people, teams etc. specified by the Company or the event organizer does not take part in the event;
-
the course of the game was reversed, i.e. the benefits of playing on their own field/pitch went to the team specified in the bet heading as guests. This principle does not apply to games on a neutral ground, tournament events in a predetermined venue etc.; therefore, a possible closing of the hosts’ field/pitch, selection of a neutral field/pitch, or voluntary selection of the opponent’s field/pitch as a place of the event does not void the bet;
-
there are supporting events on a Combi coupon (correlated events, e.g. Barcelona as a League winner and Barcelona as a winner of another league match). The computer always checks whether a coupon does not include supporting events and, if so, prevents the bet. However, if for any reasons such a coupon is accepted, in the case of a win only the odds of the first supporting event remain valid and the remaining events are settled with the odds of 1.00;
-
any other circumstance that is characteristic for a bet or sports discipline of a particular type arises. Detailed information is available in Special rules for each sports discipline.
-
When a stake is returned, the amount paid for the returned bet is automatically recorded on the Client’s LVkonto account. The Client may dispose of such an amount recorded on their LVkonto account according to the principles applicable to the funds collected on the LVkonto account, including payments out of the LVkonto account.
-
The procedure referred to in Para. 18(2) always applies in Single bets. In the case of Combi bets, it is recognized that the whole bet is void only when all events on a coupon are cancelled according to the Rules. If a Combi bet includes at least one event which is not returned, the whole bet is recognized as valid and all cancelled events are settled with the odds of 1.0.
-
Bets remain valid and are not returned if:
-
the referee committee running the event or the delegated referee changes or cancels the original rules of the game (competition) during its course (e.g. when the number of laps is reduced in motor racing). In such a case, only bets closely related to the changed rules are returned if they may not be settled according to the original rules;
-
the game is interrupted for a short period of time (e.g. a football match interrupted for several hours or, in exceptional situations, postponed until the following day due to rain). In such a case, the Company may start taking bets again, usually with new odds which take into account the current circumstances. In the case of newly-made bets, the deciding time is the time of restarting the match;
-
several competitions take place in the same sports discipline, in the same venue, and within a short period of time (e.g. downhill in Alpine Ski World Cup or ski jumping on a hill with the same construction point); in such a case the bet is always on the first competition taking place (e.g. if two downhills are going to take place, the first on Friday and the second on Saturday, and the first one does not take place for any reason, the bets stand for the Saturday downhill);
-
an event is postponed to the following or another day, i.e. it is supposed to take place after 00:00 of the following day, local time, with exceptions described in Detailed rules for all sports disciplines;
-
in the case of long-term bets, if a partial change takes place, e.g. a change of order of specific matches. Such a change does not affect bets on places standings, going through to the next round etc.
-
In exceptional cases, stakes paid by the Client will be returned by the Company to the Client’s account within 7 days following the date on which the Company became aware of an event which justifies the return of the stakes.
-
The Company has the right to return bets at stake (including bets where a result has already been declared and/or winnings have already been paid out) if law enforcement authorities or other authorized bodies involved in monitoring the manipulation of sporting events determine that the outcome of an event (“the setting” of an event) on which bets have been placed has been manipulated.
