Those who use the site do so of their own accord and are subject to all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, any applicable local laws. The site does not state that the information, materials, or content on this site are available or can be used at any location.
Links to government websites in multiple jurisdictions globally are available on the site for informational purposes only. Checking the governing law in your jurisdiction is your responsibility.

7.2 South America
The South American legislation about online gambling is in its early stages, so new bills are passed annually to govern and tax the iGaming industry in the region. Resources for the area are not available on the site.
7.3 United Kingdom
All iGaming laws are governed by the UK Gambling Commission. The United Kingdom is one of the world's most fully regulated iGaming markets.

The limitation of liability also covers (a) the actions or conduct, whether offline or online, of any user of the site or any other person or entity, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and (b) the use of, or the inability to use the site or content, materials or functions on any such site.
Under no circumstances will our total liability towards you for all losses, damages, or causes of action in contract, tort (including, but not limited to, negligence), or otherwise, go above £100, or the total amount paid by you (whichever comes first), for engaging in or using any activity on the site.
9. Amendment
We are entitled to modify, append, or erase sections of these terms and conditions, at our discretion, without informing you. You are responsible for checking these terms of use from time to time to review any updates.

The terms of use may be amended regularly.

After three days, if you continue using the site, you will consent to the changes made to this agreement.
10. General Provisions
The terms and conditions are construed in, and in compliance with, the legislation of Gibraltar without regard to any conflict of law provisions elsewhere. No waiver of any condition in this agreement shall indicate a continuing or further waiver of that condition or any other condition. If we cannot assert any provision or right in these terms and conditions, it shall not imply a waiver of said provision or right. A provision can be deleted from the terms of use if said condition is classified as illegal, void, or unenforceable for any reason. However, this shall not have any implications for the enforceability or validity of the other conditions. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE FACT THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION CAUSED BY OR PERTAINING TO THE SITE WILL BE INDEFINITELY RESTRICTED IF IT DOES NOT COME INTO ACTION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION BEING ACCRUED.
