Responsible Gaming and Staying Within Your Limits:

It is so easy to get carried away with something that really interests you and can often thrill you, and gambling is one of them.

But sometimes your gambling can get out of control and you start to lose more than you can afford, and if you start to get into trouble financially, then you might be tempted to chase your losses.

We at Ostlers Racing are asking that if you do open an account with us, that you bet responsibly, and that you keep within your limits.
One way of doing this is to set deposit limits (a mandatory requirement of your account with Ostlers Racing), so that you are never tempted to chase losses if results have gone against you. Once you have set a deposit limit, please note that in order to protect you, we will not allow you to increase your limit without 7 days notification.

We also offer a Time Out facility where your account can be temporariily frozen for a period of time determined by you. During this time you will be unable to place any bets, until such time the Time Out period ends.

Alternatively, if you feel that you need a complete break from gambling, then please contact us about our self excluding option.

If you are considering self exclusion, you may wish to register with 
GAMSTOP is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from participating online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain. To find out more and to sign up with GAMSTOP, please visit www.gamstop.co.uk

What is most important though, is that if you do find that you are experiencing problems caused by your betting, either financially or emotionally, then please seek advice from one of the many organisations that are available including GAMSTOP and the three featured below which are BeGamble Aware, Gamblers Anonymous and Gamcare (please click on their logos to be directed to their sites)

· We have to withhold the funds in your account by law or to comply with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.

We will deal with any funds obtained by us in this manner at our sole and absolute discretion and/or in accordance with any advice, request or instruction from any governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority.

Bet Acceptance

A contract to bet is not formed between us until a bet has been confirmed to you by us.

For bets placed via the App, it is the account holders responsibility to check that the bet has been accepted and not Timed Out or Rejected. If the bet has not been accepted then no bet is deemed to have been struck.

For telephone bets, clients should stay on the line until a bet has been confirmed. If the call is disconnected for any reason or there is any doubt as to whether the bet has been struck it is the responsibility of the customer to call back immediately and confirm that the bet has been struck.

For any bets sent by electronic communication (e.g. text, or any other electronic means) a contract is not formed between us until you have received a confirmation.

If placing a bet via Telephone, Text Message or WhatsApp, then unless the account holder requests a price that is on our website, or asks for SP, then the bet will be placed at the price currently available on the App or on our website.

We guarantee a payout on any accepted bet up to a maximum win liability payable by us of £2,000. Any expected winnings over this amount will not be paid. This is regardless of the total stake of the original bet or how many bets you have placed on one particular selection. Original stakes will not be retrospectively re calculated if our guaranteed payout liability is exceeded. The original bet stake will always remain fixed.

See examples below of where you will exceed our maximum payout:

Example 1 - £300 win bet placed followed by another bet of £200 on a horse that wins with a starting price of 5/1. You will receive £2,500 which is your winnings of £2,000 plus your original stakes. You will not be paid £500 at 5/1 plus your original stakes (£3,000)

Example 2 - £500 win bet on a horse that wins with a Starting Price (S.P.) of 9/2. No price was originally taken. This theoretically would produce a winning return of £2,250 plus your original stake of £500. In this instance, the payout by us would again be £2,000 (capped in line with our maximum payout policy) plus your original stake of £500.

We will not retrospectively recalculate/change your stake to £444.45 at 9/2 to allow you to win £2,000 and therefore return to you £2,000 winnings plus a returned recalculated stake of £555.55 (your original stake of £500 plus the difference between the original stake of £500 and £444.45)

Example 3 - £200 win bet on a horse placed at 10/1 that wins at 14/1. This will return £2,000 winnings (in line with our maximum payout policy) plus your original stake of £200.

We will not retrospectively recalculate/change your stake to £142.86 on a boosted S.P. of 14/1 and thus return £2,000 plus a returned recalculated stake of £57.14. (your original £200 stake plus the difference between the original stake of £200 and £142.86)

Liability

Without prejudice to our obligations contained within the various laws and regulations of the jurisdictions where we are licensed, we are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer because of any: act of God; power cut; trade or labour dispute; act, failure or omission of any government or authority; obstruction or failure of telecommunication services; or any other delay or failure caused by a third party or otherwise outside of our control. In such an event, we reserve the right to cancel or suspend our services without incurring any liability.

We are not liable for the failure of any equipment or software howsoever caused, wherever located or administered, or whether under our direct control or not, that may prevent the operation of the Services, impede the placing of offers for bets or the matching of bets, or prevent you from being able to contact us.

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our associated companies, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any liabilities, claims, losses or demands made by any third party arising out of your breach of this Agreement (including documents incorporated by reference) or out of your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

We exclude all representations and warranties as to the satisfactory quality and/or fitness for its intended purpose and/or accuracy and completeness of the Services.

In no event will we, or any of our suppliers, accept any liability however arising for any losses you may incur as a result of using the Services. Under no circumstances will our liability under this Agreement or for breach of contract, tort, equity or otherwise exceed your exposure limit as specified in your account. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits (direct or indirect) or the benefit of any bet arising from breach of contract, negligence, equitable duty (including for the avoidance of doubt in relation to any bet(s) voided by us) or other liability even if we had been advised of or known (or should have known) of the possibility of such damages or loss.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes our liability with respect to death and personal injury resulting from our negligence, or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors.

We will not be liable to you for any loss that you may incur as a result of misuse of your password, or in the case of the Telephone Service, of your telephone access number, and we accept no liability resulting from its unauthorised use, whether fraudulent or otherwise.
