Games of chance as remote gambling are organised via the websites www.olybet.eu and www.olybet.ee, while Estonian customers do not have access to the services offered on the www.olybet.eu website.
2. RULES FOR USING THE GAMING ENVIRONMENT
2.1. These Terms of Use are treated as an agreement between OlyBet and the customer, and the parties undertake to comply with them.
2.2. OlyBet reserves the right to unilaterally change these Terms of Use at any time, in order to, inter alia, improve the customer experience, make the Terms of Use clearer or bring them in line with legal requirements or OlyBet’s corporate interests. If a change to the Terms of Use restricts the customer’s existing rights or otherwise harms their interests, OlyBet shall notify the customer within a reasonable time of the entry into force of such a change.
2.3. If the customer does not agree to the amended Terms of Use, they must stop using the user account. If the customer does not stop using the user account under this clause, OlyBet shall close the user account.
3. USER ACCOUNT, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER
3.1. By opening a user account, a customer relationship is established between the customer and OlyBet.
3.2. Pursuant to the Gambling Act, OlyBet is obliged to verify the identity of the persons using the user account. The identifiable data includes the first name, last name and personal identification code and the customer cannot use the gaming service before verifying such data. The identification of the customer is made on the basis of Mobile ID, Smart ID, online identification services, the personal identification code provided by the bank deposit and the customer information received on the deposit. If the customer’s identity cannot be verified or if the customer is younger than 18 years old, their user account will not be activated. Upon the first visit, the customers assign themselves a username and password, on the basis of which they will be identified at each subsequent visit.
3.3. When opening a user account, the validity of the customer’s restrictions is also checked from the list of persons with restrictions on gambling maintained by the Tax and Customs Board
(HAMPI). If the customer is on the HAMPI list, a user account will be created, but the restricted customer will not be able to gamble to the extent where the restriction applies.
3.4. At any time, OlyBet has the right to request additional data about the account, credit card, bank or e-wallet account etc. for the purpose of preventing misuse, even after activating the user account in the gaming environment.
3.5. In accordance with the Gambling Act, a person under the age of 21 is not allowed to play a game of chance in Estonia. In accordance with the Gambling Act, a person under the age of 18 is not allowed to play toto in Estonia. As a result, it is possible to create an account in the OlyBet gaming environment in Estonia for a natural person of at least 18 years of age, but it is not possible to play games of chance with such an account.
3.6. Each customer may have a single user account. Each customer is only allowed to play personally, and it is strictly forbidden to pass on the username and password to another person. OlyBet reserves the right to block and/or close a user account at any time if there is a suspicion that the account holder is not using their user account personally. In this case, OlyBet shall not be liable in any way for any damages that the registered user may incur as a result of such a decision.
3.7. Customers are prohibited from using methods or means of playing a game of chance that are contrary to good practices and customs of gambling (including but not limited to electronic, mechanical or other means that allow you to determine, modify, record or analyse, depending on the game or part thereof, the outcome of the game, the amount of winnings to be paid out, the chances of winning or the strategy of the gaming system used, etc.) or that reduce the chances of winning for fellow customers.
3.8. OlyBet staff reserves the right to restrict a customer’s placing of bets if the customer violates these Terms of Use.
3.9. OlyBet does not give any credit to customers.
3.10. OlyBet shall not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the customer due to force majeure, including power outage, disruption or failure of telecommunications services or networks, or any other delay or failure caused by a third party.
3.11. If the customer discovers a malfunction in the OlyBet gaming system, they undertake to immediately forward information about the respective failure to OlyBet customer support. The possibility of compensation for material losses resulting from the failure shall be considered by OlyBet only if the customer has immediately fulfilled this obligation.
3.12. A user account where the last login was 12 months ago is considered inactive and OlyBet has the right to charge an inactive account management fee of EUR 5 per month on such account. When the customer’s account balance reaches zero, the administration fee will no longer be charged.
3.13. OlyBet reserves the right to restrict the use of certain services unilaterally and without prior notice, including setting limits for customers.

5.2.1. ask for additional data about the customer at any time (including when establishing a customer relationship or in the course of the customer relationship), including data on the origin of the customer’s wealth and/or assets, frequency of transactions, etc.;
5.2.2. regularly check the information collected for the performance of legal due diligence measures, including the accuracy of the data on which the customer is identified, and require the customer to submit or update relevant data and documents.

5.5.2. the information and documents provided by the customer or a person related to the customer do not remove OlyBet’s suspicion that the activities of the customer or a person related to the customer may be related to illegal transactions, terrorist financing or money laundering, or in violation of a sanction.
6. RESPONSIBLE GAMING
6.1. By creating an account, the customer agrees that there is a risk of losing money by using the service and confirms that OlyBet is not responsible for such losses. By using the service, the customer agrees to assume all risks when betting in the gambling environment.

6.2.2. a ban on participating in the game for a period of six months to three years.
6.3. The customer can increase or terminate the limit set in clause 6.2.1, but this change shall enter into force no less than 48 hours after making the respective request, if the customer confirms the wish to increase or terminate the respective limit again after 48 hours upon logging into the user account. Making the limit stricter shall take effect immediately. When the limit is initially set up, the validity of the limit starts from the moment of its setting. If the existing limit is changed, the loss limit will change, but the limit will not take effect in the moment of change, instead, the earlier time cycle of the limit will remain in force. The current limit, remaining limit and time cycle can be seen by the customer under their user account profile.

Setting the limit specified in clause 6.2.2 is possible in Olympic Casino’s land-based casinos, on the Olybet.eu website, at the service point of the Tax and Customs Board and in the self-service environment. OlyBet does not accept electronic requests for setting a limit in writing by customers with an Estonian personal identification code, as electronic limitation measures are available to the customer in the self-service environment of the Tax and Customs Board.

6.7. OlyBet reserves the right to unilaterally restrict the use of all and/or individual products and services by the customer, including the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement concluded with the customer and close the customer’s user account without observing the notice period if the customer’s behaviour in the OlyBet gaming environment and/or the data disclosed by the customer indicates that the customer does not comply with the principles of responsible gambling and/or the customer may inflict damage on themselves by further gaming. OlyBet shall not be liable for any loss or damage incurred in connection with such a decision.

In case of withdrawal, the received cash must be checked at the cash register. Any later claims shall not be considered. For all deposits and withdrawals, OlyBet shall verify that the user account holder and the bank account holder or customer wishing to deposit or withdraw cash are the same person.

The payment shall be made within five working days at the latest.
