Details of the defined set of numbers chosen by you from the selection of numbers provided by us on the Website (the “Original Numbers”) shall be available in your member’s area. The Original Numbers entered into Draws will be referred to as “Your Syndicate Bet”. From time to time, at our sole discretion, it may be necessary to withdraw defined sets of numbers for the Draws and in such event we shall notify you in writing of other defined sets of numbers which could replace the Original Numbers (or any other numbers used for the Draws during your use of our Services), which shall be entered into each Draw by us from the date of such notification (the “New Numbers”). You may change the New Numbers using the facility on the Website or you may terminate this contract in accordance with clause 13.1 should you prefer not to replace the Original Numbers. New Numbers once allocated to or chosen by you shall be deemed to be your Original Numbers for the purposes of these Player Terms and Conditions and shall thereafter be Your Syndicate Bet. The fixed percentage payout for Draws may alter from time to time but written notice of such change will be provided to you no later than 28 days prior to the change.
   4. Multiple Draws. If a lottery makes multiple Draws on the same date then unless otherwise specified by us your Bet will apply to the main Draw to take place on that date. In the event there is no Draw on that date, your Bet will apply to the first Draw by the relevant lottery thereafter. If a Draw does not take place in relation to the relevant lottery, your Bet will stand for the relevant rescheduled Draw for the relevant lottery, or if there is no re-scheduled Draw, the next available Draw relating to the relevant lottery.

   7. Placing a Bet on Instant Win Games. To place a Bet in relation to the Gaming Services, you will be required to pay "real money" funds into your Player Account (“Deposit Funds”) by any of the methods specified by us. Such funds will be deposited into your Player Account upon actual receipt of funds by us. The minimum deposit into your Player Account is £5.00 Sterling. The maximum deposit into your Player Account is £1,500 Sterling per deposit with a maximum cap on deposits into your Player Account of £2,500 Sterling in aggregate in any 24 hour period.

   8. Only clear funds may be used as Bets. You cannot place a Bet until there are cleared funds in your Player Account. Deposit Funds together with any Gaming Winnings due to you (collectively “Your Funds”) will be held in your Player Account by us on your behalf. We are not a bank and no interest will be paid on your Player Account, the Fee or Your Funds. Only once we have received all information we require from you, will Gaming Winnings due to you be paid to your Player Account.
   9. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Gaming Winnings” means winnings legitimately due to you that have been won by you as part of the Gaming Services using the Gaming Platform and that have been won fairly by you in accordance with these Player Terms and Conditions and are not subject to any reasonable objection by us, less the following:-
      1. any bet due to us; and,
      2. other entry or other fees due to us for your use of the Gaming Platform and the Gaming Services; and,
      3. any charge backs made by a third party in relation to Your Funds; and,
      4. any local taxes, if any.
   10. What happens with your connection problems. Any failure on your side including but not limited to network connection or computer problems, will not void the result. You can check your own Bet history in the report section of your Player Account to see how any Bet was determined.
   11. What happens with our system or hardware malfunctions. Any system malfunction and/or hardware malfunction affecting us will void the Gaming Services affected by such and no winnings of any nature whatsoever will be due on such.
9. Winnings
   1. Subject to the terms of this clause 9, we shall credit your Player Account as follows:
      1. How we pay small Winnings. Winnings equal to or below the Sterling equivalent of £50,000, will be paid to you from our own funds by crediting your Player Account.
      2. How we pay large Winnings. Winnings over the Sterling equivalent of £50,000 will be settled by us making a claim with our insurance provider or, where we have purchased lottery tickets, by claiming the win from the relevant lottery provider. Whilst we aim to credit your Player Account as quickly as possible, settlement of very large wins may take up to 40 days to clear whilst the claim is processed.
   2. Deductions applied to Winnings. Winnings are calculated by reference to the payout rules of the relevant lottery provider. In some cases (for example the Powerball lottery), lottery providers apply a mandatory deduction where jackpot winners claim a cash lump sum. For these lotteries we make this deduction. In addition, some lottery providers deduct local withholding or similar taxes from the cash lump sum payable. We will also deduct such sums as would be due for withholding or similar tax purposes from any Winnings due to you. You should be aware that in some cases this can reduce the net Winnings amount due by nearly half of the advertised jackpot amount.
   3. For Winnings over £10m, where we rely on claims made with our insurance provider, we will pay the first £10m in one payment as soon as possible following the Draw, followed by the remaining balance spread over nineteen, equal annual payments paid on or within 7 days of the anniversary of the first payment (the “Annuity Payments”). At our discretion, we may enter into negotiations with you to amend the amount and frequency of the Annuity Payments to reach a new, mutually agreeable schedule for the repayment of the outstanding balance. This clause does not apply where we have purchased a ticket on your behalf where we will pass on all Winnings to you once we are in receipt of funds.
   4. This clause only applies to payments from Instant Win Games. Gaming Winnings that any one individual can win in any 7 day period is limited to £25,000. This excludes any progressive jackpot element to a Winnings payout. Should you exceed this limit in any 7 day period, any Bets made once the limit has been exceeded may be rendered void at our discretion, and your Bets will be returned to your account without any winnings made on Bets placed.
   5. Checks we may make before making payments. To enable us to comply with anti-money laundering legislation we may require information from you before crediting your Player Account. We will not credit your Player Account until we are in receipt of all information we require for anti-money laundering purposes.
   6. How we deal with any repayments. In the event that the operator of the lottery Draw from time to time requires the repayment of any monies paid by it that we have paid to you, you hereby undertake to pay to us a sum equal to such sum within 14 days of a written request from us. You agree to fully indemnify us against all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of any breach by you of the provisions of this clause 9.6
   7. What currency payments are made in. All Winnings are paid in the currency of the original deposit into your Player Account.
   8. How we deal with multiple Single Line winning bets from different customers on the same draw. For Single Line entries, if your selection of numbers wins the jackpot or second tier prize and your winning numbers are identical to the selection of numbers chosen by two or more of our other customers in the same draw, then the amount that you shall win will be shared equally amongst those other customers with the identical selection. For example, if three PlayLottery.com players chose identical numbers for a jackpot where our payout after relevant deductions was £36 million, then each player would receive £12 million.
10. Non-payment of Winnings
    1. When Winnings are not paid. We may void and shall be entitled not to pay any Winnings in respect of any Bet:
       1. placed after the Deadline;
       2. that is erroneously accepted on the Website after the Deadline for the relevant Draw or in respect of a Draw that has already taken place at the time when the Bet is placed;
       3. if we become aware of an error in relation to that Bet or Draw and we are not able to contact you to correct the error or confirm the Bet before the Deadline for the relevant draw;
       4. if you charge back any Fees relating to your Player Account without our consent;
       5. placed by a player who has provided false or misleading information as part of or in connection with his/her Player Account or otherwise in connection with the Website or the services available through it, including the Services;
       6. placed by a player who has been involved in any collusion or fraud-related activities in relation to the placing of the Bet, the operation of their player account or otherwise in connection with the Website or the services offered via it, including the Services;
       7. placed by a player who was, at the time of placing the Bet:
          1. less than 18 years old;
          2. a US resident or located in any country in which they are not permitted to participate in remote betting/gaming of the nature contemplated by the Website;
          3. in breach of any material provision of these Player Terms and Conditions; or
          4. in breach of the relevant Game Rules.
    2. What happens to void Bets. If any Bet is voided in accordance with clauses 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3, we will offer the relevant player the option of placing any such Bet on the next relevant Draw or crediting his/her player account with the sum of money representing such voided Bet. If any Bet is voided in accordance with clauses 10.1.7.1 or 10.1.7.2, we will return the deposit made to us and close your account forthwith. If any Bet is otherwise voided by us in accordance with this clause 10, the relevant Bet shall be forfeited to us.
    3. Disputes that affect our ability to pay large Winnings. As we are not a lottery, our ability to pay large Winnings is dependent on either (i) our insurance company honouring the terms of the policy we have with them; or (ii) our ability to claim large Winnings from the lottery provider when we present winning tickets to claim prizes. In the event that a dispute arises with our insurance company or lottery provider regarding their obligation to pay us, we may not be in a position to pass Winnings on to you. In such circumstances our obligation to pay Winnings to you will be suspended whilst we undertake all reasonable endeavours to obtain funds to pay Winnings to you including, where necessary, commencing litigation, arbitration or other similar dispute resolution process against our insurance company, the lottery provider or any other relevant third party. The maximum period of time for any such suspension of our obligation to pay Winnings to you under this clause is three years (the “Suspension Period”). At the end of the Suspension Period, if we have been unable to secure funds to pay any Winnings due to you, we shall pay you your Winnings up to a maximum of £2,000,000. Nothing in this clause shall prevent us entering into negotiations with you during the Suspension Period to reach an amicable settlement regarding payment of your Winnings.
11. Funds held in your Player Account
    1. How sums in your Player Account are held. Any sums which are in your Player Account will be held by us for you in a segregated bank account on the Isle of Man which is subject to quarterly review by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. However we are not a bank and no interest shall be paid on any sums in your Player Account.
    2. What happens to funds in the event of insolvency. Under the Isle of Man Online Gambling (Participants' Money) Regulations 2010 (paragraph 4(2)), customer funds do not form part of the assets of the business in the event of insolvency and are therefore protected from creditors. If you are resident in United Kingdom, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission has published a customer funds rating system for its licence holders and we rate customer funds protection as "Medium" in line with that rating system and further information on our requirements with regards to the level of protection we offer to players who are UK residents can be found at the Gambling Commission's website here.
12. Withdrawals from your Player account
    1. Withdrawals to credit cards may only be made to credit cards used to pay for Fees deposited into the Player Account. Withdrawals to Mastercard is limited to UK customers only.
    2. Minimum withdrawal amounts. You may claim your Winnings by withdrawing monies from your Player Account subject to a minimum £10 withdrawal at any time.
    3. Where to find withdrawal methods. Current withdrawal methods for your Winnings are available in your Members Area.
    4. Refunds to incorrect details. We cannot refund withdrawals made to incorrect account details in your Player Account.
    5. Mistaken payments. You shall immediately inform us in the event that any Winnings are paid to you in error and forthwith return such to us.
    6. Inactive Player Accounts. Should your Player Account be inactive for a period of 6 months, we reserve the right to close your Player Account and charge a fee (the "Administration Fee"). In this event, all funds held in your Player Account will belong to us when the Player Account is closed. Prior to closing your inactive Player Account, we shall use all reasonable means to contact you.
13. Suspension and Termination

16. Responsible Gambling
    1. Our approach to responsible gambling. We maintain a strong commitment to provide all our players with a responsible gambling environment. Gambling should be enjoyed as a recreational activity however, it can nevertheless also cause a problem for a minority of players. We aim to prevent compulsive usage and underage access to the Services while providing a friendly and entertaining gambling experience.
    2. Self exclusion. We offer a self-exclusion option for our Players who might become concerned about their gambling activity. You may opt to self-exclude yourself from access to the Services for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or permanently. You can exclude yourself from placing bets on our Website by contacting us by telephone on +44 (0) 207 1000 200 or by email to Support@PlayLottery.com . Please confirm your member email address and the duration you wish to be excluded for (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or permanently). Following the self-exclusion request, a Player will be prohibited from using his/her Player Account and from opening a new Player Account during the self-exclusion period. Self-exclusion will take place immediately from the time you receive a self-exclusion confirmation email after contacting our member support team. We reserve the right to inform our affiliates and/or other similar service providers of your self-exclusion for the purposes of preventing marketing and promotional materials being sent to you during the self-exclusion period. The reopening of Player Accounts that have been self-excluded is only possible after the expiry of the self-exclusion period. Following the expiration of the self-exclusion period, you can reopen your Player Account by calling member support on +44 (0)207 1000 200. Please note an email instruction cannot be accepted. The account will then be re-opened after a 24 hour cooling-off period. You may also change the maximum value of your monthly or weekly spending limit by contacting the member support team directly by telephone on +44 (0)207 1000 200 or by email to Support@PlayLottery.com. Upon receipt of your spending limit change request a "cooling-off" period of 7 days will be applied. Any increase of the spending limit set is not allowed for a minimum period of 7 days from the date of last change. You can, however, reduce your spending limit without any minimum wait.
    3. Advice on problem gambling. The following are things to remember in order to keep control of your gambling:
       1. gambling should not be seen as a way of making money or paying debts but rather it is a form of entertainment;
       2. you must read and be familiar with the Game Rules;
       3. you should only gamble an amount you can afford to lose;
       4. you should not chase losses; and
       5. you should keep track of the amount of money and time you have spent gambling.
    4. Professional assistance. We encourage our players to consider professional assistance from any of the following organisations if a player suspects he/she may have a gambling problem:
