Account Registration
Eligibility and age verification
- Minimum age: You may create an Account only if you are at least 18 years old or older where your local law prescribes a higher minimum age for online gambling. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
- Prohibited jurisdictions: You are not permitted to open an Account or place Bets if you are located in, resident in, or accessing the Website from a Prohibited Jurisdiction, including the United Kingdom. By registering, you expressly confirm that you are not located in or resident in the UK and that you are not using VPNs, proxies, or similar tools to hide your location.
- Single account policy: Each Player may hold only one active Account with the Operator. The creation or use of multiple Accounts, including "duplicate" or "linked" Accounts, is prohibited and may lead to immediate suspension and confiscation of funds as permitted by applicable law.
Account creation and verification (KYC)
- Registration data: To create an Account, you must provide accurate, complete, and current information as requested in the registration form, including your full name, date of birth, country of residence, and contact details. The Operator may refuse to open or may close any Account where the information is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.
- Email and identity verification: You may be required to confirm your email address by following a verification link. The Operator will also carry out KYC checks and may request documents, including but not limited to a copy of your passport or ID card, proof of address, and proof of payment method ownership. Failure to supply such documents to the Operator's satisfaction may lead to suspension or closure of your Account and withholding of withdrawals in accordance with applicable law.

User obligations and security
- Accuracy of data: You must keep your registration details up to date and promptly correct any inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for any losses arising from your failure to maintain accurate information.
- Account credentials: You must keep your username, password, and any authentication credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity conducted through your Account, whether or not authorised by you. You must notify the Operator immediately if you suspect that your Account has been compromised.
- Third-party use: You must not permit any third party to use your Account. The Operator may treat any use of your Account credentials as use by you.
Betting & Gameplay Rules
Placing bets and game participation
- Offer and acceptance: A Bet is deemed accepted once it is confirmed on the Website and reflected in your betting history. Before confirmation, the Operator may refuse or limit any Bet without giving a reason. After confirmation, Bets may only be cancelled or modified at the Operator's sole discretion and only where technically and legally feasible.
- Minimum and maximum stakes: Each game or betting market has minimum and maximum stake limits communicated on the Website or within the game interface. You agree not to place Bets outside these limits. The Operator may adjust these limits at any time.
- Game rules: The rules applicable to each casino game, slot, live casino table, or sports bet are provided within the relevant game or market and form part of these Terms. In the event of any inconsistency, the specific game rules prevail for that game.
Technical issues and settlement
- Interrupted sessions: If your game session is interrupted due to a technical failure, the outcome recorded on the Operator's servers shall prevail. In the event of a system error affecting the correct operation of a game, the Operator may void the affected Bets and refund the stake to your Real-Money Balance where required by applicable law.
- Errors and mispricing: The Operator reserves the right to void or adjust Bets that were accepted at obviously incorrect odds, lines, or game configurations due to manifest error or system failure. In such cases, the Operator's liability is limited to returning the original stake to your Real-Money Balance.
Conduct in live casino, chats, and responsible play
- Prohibited conduct: When interacting with live dealers, other players, or staff (for example via chat features), you must not use abusive, obscene, racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive language or behaviour, and you must not harass, threaten, or defame any person.
- Fraud and collusion: You must not engage in any fraudulent activity, collusion with other players, advantage play involving exploitation of obvious technical errors, use of bots or automated systems, or any other behaviour that provides an unfair advantage. The Operator may void Bets, confiscate winnings, and close Accounts engaged in such activity in line with licence conditions and applicable law.
- Location manipulation: Any attempt to conceal or falsify your location, including via VPN, proxy, or similar tools in order to access Sesame from a Prohibited Jurisdiction such as the United Kingdom, is strictly prohibited and constitutes a serious breach of these Terms.
Bonus Terms
Bonus activation and eligibility
- Offer-specific rules: Each Bonus or promotion offered via sesamerz.com, including Sesame, is subject to specific terms displayed with the offer. By claiming or using a Bonus, you accept both these Terms and the relevant offer terms.
- Eligibility restrictions: The Operator may restrict certain Bonuses to particular countries, payment methods, or player segments. Players from Prohibited Jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, are not eligible to receive or use Bonuses.
- Activation: A Bonus may require manual opt-in, the use of a bonus code, or a qualifying deposit or Bet. Activation conditions are indicated for each promotion and must be met within the stated time frame.
Wagering requirements and time limits
- Wagering requirements: Unless otherwise stated, Bonuses and any winnings derived from them are subject to wagering requirements (for example, a 30x or higher turnover of the Bonus amount and, where applicable, the deposit). Only settled Bets count towards wagering, and certain games may contribute at a reduced rate or be excluded.
- Time frames: Bonus funds and free spins must be used, and wagering requirements must be completed, within the time period specified in the offer (for example, 7 - 30 days from activation). Unused Bonus funds and incomplete wagering after the deadline may result in forfeiture of the Bonus and associated winnings.
- Maximum bet with bonus: Some promotions impose a maximum stake per spin, round, or bet whilst wagering is in progress. Exceeding the maximum may lead to confiscation of the Bonus and related winnings.
Prohibited games, actions, and combining promotions
- Game restrictions: Certain games or bet types may be excluded or limited for Bonus wagering (for example, low-risk roulette bets, certain jackpot games, or equal/low-risk betting patterns). The list of restricted games is indicated in the bonus terms and may change from time to time.
- Abusive play: Patterns of play designed to exploit Bonuses (such as low-risk betting to clear wagering, hedging Bets, or deliberately triggering features with Bonus funds and releasing winnings with Real-Money funds) are prohibited. The Operator may remove Bonuses and associated winnings and, in serious cases, close the Account.
- Combining promotions: Bonuses may not be combined unless explicitly permitted. Where multiple promotions are active, the Operator may apply them in a predefined order or restrict simultaneous use. Some promotions may not be available for deposits made with certain payment methods (for example, specific e-wallets or cryptocurrencies).
Payments & Withdrawals
Deposits
- Payment methods: The Operator may make available various deposit methods, including bank cards, bank transfers, selected e-wallets, and, where permitted by law and offered on the Website, certain cryptocurrency-based services. Available methods depend on your country of residence and applicable regulations.
- Ownership and funding: You may deposit only with payment instruments registered in your own name. Deposits made from third-party accounts or anonymous instruments may be rejected, reversed, or subject to additional verification.
- Fees and limits: The Operator may set minimum and maximum deposit limits per transaction, per day, or per month. Any applicable fees, including those charged by payment providers, will be displayed on the Website where possible.
Withdrawals
- Verification prior to payout: Before processing withdrawals, the Operator may require you to complete KYC checks, including proof of identity, address, and payment method ownership. Withdrawals may be delayed or refused if verification is incomplete or if there are reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, money laundering, or access from a Prohibited Jurisdiction (including the UK).
- Withdrawal methods and times: Withdrawals are, where possible, made via the same method used for deposit, or by an alternative method selected by the Operator in compliance with legal obligations. Processing times vary by method but the Operator endeavours to process approved withdrawals within commercially reasonable timeframes (for example, within 1 - 5 business days), excluding any delays caused by verification or payment providers.
- Limits and fees: The Operator may apply minimum and maximum withdrawal limits per transaction, per day, or per month. Any fees for processing withdrawals will be stated on the Website where applicable.
Refunds, chargebacks, and bonus adjustments
- Refund policy: Once a Bet has been placed and accepted, it cannot ordinarily be cancelled and no refund will be granted, except in cases of technical error, game malfunction, or manifest error where the Operator decides to void the Bet and return the stake in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.
- Chargebacks: You agree not to initiate chargebacks or payment reversals without valid legal grounds. Unwarranted chargebacks may result in suspension or closure of your Account, recovery of the charged-back amounts, and reporting to relevant authorities or payment providers.
- Bonus-related adjustments: If a deposit linked to a claimed Bonus is refunded, reversed, or not honoured, the Operator may cancel the Bonus and any winnings derived from it. The Operator may also correct obvious balance errors arising from technical or human mistakes.

In the event of inconsistency between on-screen information and the data recorded by the Operator's systems, the latter shall prevail, subject to correction of manifest errors.

Termination & Suspension
Operator's rights
- Suspension and closure: The Operator may suspend or close your Account, withhold or void Bets, and restrict access to the Website if it reasonably believes that you have breached these Terms, used fraudulent or abusive strategies, failed KYC or source-of-funds checks, accessed from or misrepresented your location in a Prohibited Jurisdiction (including the United Kingdom), or otherwise acted contrary to applicable law or licence conditions.
