All of these requirements have been put in place in order to ensure that the betting services provided by licensed bookmakers such a eBet are not unlawfully used as vehicles for money laundering and/or the financing of terrorism or other criminal activities.

3.2. Where FICA or its associated regulations and instruments specify such procedures and/or restrictions then eBet will operate in accordance with such procedures and/or restrictions. Where FICA does not specify such procedures and/or restrictions, then eBet shall implement its own procedures and/or restrictions (subject always to any applicable legislation), so as to promote good corporate governance and socially responsible betting practices. For further information on FICA please log on to www.fic.gov.za.

3.3. Where a customer in the retail environment -

(i) places an amount of LSL5,000 or more on a single bet, or

(ii) claims winnings in the amount of LSL5,000 or more,

eBet will be required under FICA to establish and verify the identity of that client before the transaction can be processed.

3.4. In the online environment, eBet is required by FICA first to establish and verify the identity of all Customers before it may lawfully create a betting account for any such Customer. In such cases, as part of the account registration process, prospective account holders will be required to disclose the following personal and related particulars:

(i) Full names;

(ii) Lesotho Identity Number or Passport Number;

(iii) Residential Address;

(iv) E-mail Address;

(v) Mobile and/or landline telephone number(s), and

As part of the fulfilment of our obligations under FICA, the Customer may be required, at the time of the registration process, or at any stage during the period for which he/she holds a betting account with eBet, to furnish eBet with a copy of his/her identity documents (i.e. a copy of an identity document and/or passport which must be legible and valid), proof of physical address in the nature of a statement/invoice of account (rendered by a City Council or Municipality or a bank in the case of mortgaged property) and proof of bank account details (which statements shall not be older than three (3) months). eBet shall advise the Customer which documents it may require for this purpose. Failure on the part of the Customer to provide any such document within the timeframe specified by eBet for this purpose -

(i) if required as part of the registration process, will result in the suspension of the registration process, with no betting account being created for the Customer until such time as the information is provided to the satisfaction of eBet, or

(ii) if required at any stage during the period for which the Customer is the holder of a betting account, will result in the suspension (deactivation) of the betting account until such time as the information is provided to the satisfaction of eBet, or the permanent termination of the betting account, in the event that the Customer neglects or refuses to provide the relevant information.

As part of the registration process, the Customer will be prompted to select a dedicated user name and secure password in respect of the betting account.

26. BETTING RULES & PROCEDURES

While we will endeavour to ensure complete accuracy in relation to the announcement, publication and issue of prizes, results and other relevant information, we do not accept responsibility for any errors which may arise in the process but we reserve the right to correct any errors in any appropriate manner. The player indemnifies and defends Ebet against any losses, whether potential or actual and direct or indirect, which may be suffered in consequence of any such error.

A bet is not valid until we issue a confirmation before the betting event. All bets that have not been confirmed by us before the start of the betting event will be considered void unless in our absolute discretion we accept the bet.

A bet shall be deemed to be void if the required stake is not transmitted in full before the event commences, unless (in our absolute discretion) we accept the bet subject to authorization.

Bets will only be accepted up to the advertised start time. Any bet that is inadvertently accepted, including in relation to an event after its start time, will be cancelled. If any portion of a multiple bet is inadvertently accepted then all parts of that multiple bet will be cancelled. Bets placed after the final event result is known will be voided. Bets on events that have started will be void unless it is a live-betting event.

Should there be a dispute over the start time of an event where an official starting time is not given by that sport's governing body, then the time that we determine the event to have started and the time at which the bet was placed, according to our records, will be conclusive evidence in the settlement or non-settlement of all bets in respect of that event.

Bets may not be cancelled or changed once the bet has been placed and acceptance of the bet has been confirmed by us.

It is your responsibility to understand the betting and gaming terminology used on our website and the mechanism of any bet types that you select. If you have any queries as to how certain bet types work, please contact our customer support before placing any such bet. We cannot accept any responsibility in the event that you place a bet which you do not fully understand.

A number of bets may be treated as being one when a customer places multiple copies of the same bet. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck.

Where there is evidence that a series of bets each containing the same or identical selections have been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate or individuals, Ebet reserves the right to void such bets.

If you have played in a professional capacity, or in tandem with other players as part of a club, group, etc., or placed bets in a coordinated manner with other players involving the same or identical selections; in this instance we further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to restrict the total maximum pay-out for the combined total of any such bets, to the equivalent of the maximum payout limits permitted for a single customer as we may provide from time to time. The Service is for sole use on an individual basis and for personal entertainment only.

Accumulative or multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of another.

It is a condition of your use of the Service that you represent that

You are not prohibited from entering into the bet by any term of your contract of employment or any rule of a sports governing body, which applies to you

You are not aware of any circumstance which would make the placing of the bet a breach of a rule on betting applied by a sports governing body

Where the bet is placed on the outcome of a race, competition or other event or on the likelihood of anything occurring, you do not know the outcome of the event or have not been involved in any circumstances which might affect its potential outcome

If we become aware or suspect that any such representation by you is or may be false your stake will be forfeited and we shall not be obliged to pay any winnings which might otherwise have been payable in respect of the relevant placed bet.

The outcome of a bet is based on the result achieved on the field at the end of the betting event. Unless we state otherwise, the betting event is deemed to end after the Regular Time. Regular Time is defined for this purpose as the scheduled 90 minutes of play, or, in the case of events such as under-17 or under-16 which are ordinarily scheduled to end after 80 minutes, the scheduled 80 minutes of play; the Regular Time includes any added injury or stoppage time but does not include extra-time, time allocated for a penalty shootout or a golden or silver goal. Any decisions made after the betting event by disciplinary, sports or legal bodies and affecting or amending the result achieved on the game field will not be taken into consideration.

Unless otherwise stated for any specific betting typology, if the time or date of a betting event is brought forward, or if the time for the betting event is incorrectly listed on our website, all bets placed before the beginning of the event and confirmed by us will be considered valid, but all bets placed after will be considered void.

Unless otherwise stated in any rules that we may have for certain betting typologies, whenever an event is officially postponed, all the related bets will remain valid if the event takes place and is completed within midnight of the day following the date originally set for the match. If it does not take place or is not completed within the mentioned time frame, all the bet typologies related to that event will be deemed void within 24 hours.

Unless otherwise stated in any rules that we may have for certain betting typologies, whenever an event is officially interrupted according to the time written in the coupon, all the related bets will remain valid if the event is completed within midnight (EAT) of the day following the date originally set for the match. If it is not completed within the mentioned time frame, all the bet typologies related to that event will be considered void.

Unless otherwise stated in any rules that we may have for certain betting typologies, if an event does not take place in the expected venue, or if one of the teams does not coincide with those originally scheduled for the match Ebet reserves the right to void all the related bet typologies.

Unless otherwise stated in any rules that we may have for certain betting typologies, where a match is cancelled or postponed, we may in our sole and absolute discretion carry out a draw to determine the result of the missing game result or deem the missing game result to be the same as the outcome of the match listed above the cancelled or postponed match on the list of matches. When the first match on the list is the one that is cancelled or postponed, the last match in that list of matches shall be deemed to be the match listed above the cancelled or postponed match. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of the details of such draw (including the time and venue) and/or to be aware of the outcome of the match listed above the cancelled or postponed match on the list.

You agree that we are not liable to you in any way for any loss incurred by you in connection with voided bets.

A team is considered to have scored the goal even if it was actually scored by an opposing player (an own goal) or if it was the result of a penalty kick during Regular Time.

Unless otherwise stated in any rules that we may have for certain betting typologies, in the event of a game being abandoned after it has started but before the final whistle or buzzer, only bets that can be settled at the time of abandonment will stand.

In case of serious irregularity impacting upon the outcome of a betting event (such as a team playing with a youth squad due to a strike, protest, illness, etc), Ebet has the right to cancel accepted bets or declare such betting event void.

If the result of an event or match is not immediately available from an official channel, then the result published by the official governing body immediately after the match or event is ended will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.

In the event of any uncertainty about any official result, Ebet reserves the right to suspend settlement of any game until the uncertainty is resolved to its reasonable satisfaction.

Neither we (including our employees or agents) nor our partners or suppliers are liable for any loss resulting from any error made. Bets placed in order to cover flawed bets will stand valid if not impaired by errors.

Ebet reserves the right to void any winnings that were obtained as a result of hardware or software error or malfunction. Players found abusing such errors and malfunctions are subject to having their account closed and any deposits or winnings forfeited. In the event of a website system, software or hardware malfunction all bets may be voided.

We only accept bets made via mobile device, our website or our cash desk. Bets are not accepted in any other form (e.g. post, email, fax, etc.) and where received will be invalid and void.
