1. The agreement between you and bwin Casino
Registering for a bwin account, accepting the Terms of Use or otherwise using the website creates a legally binding agreement. You should not register, deposit, play or use account services unless you understand and agree to the applicable terms.
For UK customers, the agreement is with LC International Limited, registered in Gibraltar under company number 46808, with its registered office at Suite 6, Atlantic Suites, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA. Gambling activity for Great Britain is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission under account number 54743.
The bwin Casino website is for personal, recreational and non-commercial use. Access may be restricted, suspended or changed for maintenance, security, legal or regulatory reasons. Product availability can also differ by location, device, account status or regulatory requirement.
Your agreement includes
General Terms, Game Rules, Promotional Terms, age-verification requirements, anti-cheating rules, privacy information and relevant Help Centre provisions.
Order of priority
Where documents conflict, the General Terms normally take priority, followed by incorporated policies and then individual product rules.
The published UK General Terms currently identify their reference update date as 21 January 2025. Review the live version whenever you use the service because terms may be amended.

Eligibility checks before real-money play
Each checkpoint is essential. The percentage shows its importance to a smooth registration and account journey, not a probability of approval.
3. Identity, affordability and source-of-funds checks
bwin Casino must carry out checks to meet legal, security and regulatory obligations. These may confirm your name, age, address, location, payment ownership, financial circumstances and the source of funds used on the account.
Your name, address and date of birth must be verified before you are permitted to deposit or gamble. Additional checks may be requested during registration, before a withdrawal, after account changes or as part of ongoing monitoring.
Information requested during registration
- Your legal first and last name as shown on accepted identification.
- Your date of birth and current residential address.
- A valid email address and mobile number.
- A secure password that you do not share with another person.
Documents that may be requested
Verification and withdrawal route
A withdrawal can be delayed when required information is incomplete, payments have not cleared or an account review remains open.
Request
Choose an available withdrawal method and enter the amount.
Account review
The system checks cleared deposits, account status and applicable limits.
Verification
Provide identity, address, payment or source-of-funds information when requested.
Processing
The approved request is processed through an available payout route.
Payment
Funds are returned to a method held in the registered account holder’s name.
4. Deposits, withdrawals and protection of funds
Deposits
Available payment methods, minimum deposits and transaction limits are displayed in the cashier and can change. bwin may refuse a deposit where necessary. Third-party payment providers may also apply their own charges or authentication requirements.
Credit cards and company cards may not be used to fund a UK bwin account. This restriction also applies where a credit or company card is used as the underlying source through a wallet or other money service. The permitted payment method must belong to the registered account holder.
Withdrawals
You may normally request your available real-money balance, provided deposited funds have cleared, required checks have been completed and there is no relevant investigation into an error, malfunction, prohibited activity or transaction-integrity issue.
bwin uses a closed-loop withdrawal approach whenever possible. This means funds are generally returned through the same method used to deposit. A withdrawal can be divided across previous payment methods where required by fraud-prevention controls.
Your account is not a bank account
Deposits should be made for genuine gambling activity. The account must not be used simply to move or store money. Repeated deposits and withdrawals without corresponding play may result in checks, recovery of incurred banking costs, account closure or reporting where legally required.
Protection of customer funds
The published UK terms state that customer funds are held in a formal trust account that is legally and operationally separate from company affairs, with independent trustee control and external auditing. The stated Gambling Commission customer-funds protection level is high.
| Activity | Main rule | Common blocker | Practical action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | Use an available method in your own name. | Mismatched name, failed bank authentication or restricted payment source. | Check the cashier instructions and your registered details before trying again. |
| Withdrawal | Withdraw through an approved method after required checks. | Incomplete verification, uncleared deposit or an open account review. | Read account messages and provide only the specifically requested information. |
| Wallet use | The wallet and underlying source must comply with UK payment rules. | A credit card or company card used as the underlying funding source. | Select another permitted source shown in the cashier. |
| Payment ownership | Withdrawals are made in the registered account holder’s name. | Attempting to use another person’s bank account, card or wallet. | Use your own verified payment route or contact support for available alternatives. |
5. Casino games, results, interruptions and promotions
Casino Game Rules
Each casino product has its own rules. Open the information, help or pay-table panel before playing. It should explain gameplay, winning outcomes, available stakes, applicable limits, return information and the treatment of special features or jackpots.
Errors, malfunctions and interrupted games
Software, live feeds and communications can occasionally experience errors or interruptions. Where a game result has been validly recorded on the server, that recorded result may stand. Where a single-stage game is interrupted before a result is recorded and the player can no longer influence the outcome, the applicable game rules may provide for the stake to be returned.
Do not attempt to benefit from an obvious or suspected pricing, software or settlement error. Stop using the affected feature and report the issue to support. Transactions or winnings affected by a confirmed error or malfunction may be corrected or voided under the Terms of Use.
Maximum payouts
Product-specific maximum payout limits may apply regardless of the amount staked or the balance temporarily displayed. Progressive jackpots and tournaments may have separate limits. Check the current General Terms and the applicable Game Rules before participating.
Promotions and bonuses
Every bonus, free-spins package, tournament, prize draw or special offer is subject to both the General Terms and its own Promotional Terms. Offers may not be available to every customer, and access can be restricted for regulatory or safer-gambling reasons.
- Read the full offer terms before opting in or depositing.
- Confirm the qualifying deposit, eligible games and activation method.
- Check wagering requirements, game contribution and stake restrictions.
- Review expiry periods and any maximum bonus or winnings limit.
- Do not create another account or use another person’s account to claim an offer.
Account conduct matrix
The examples below show which actions are permitted, require checking or are prohibited under the UK account rules.
6. Prohibited activity, suspension and account closure
You must use bwin Casino lawfully, honestly and only for personal recreational gambling. Prohibited activity may result in investigation, restrictions, suspension, account closure, voided transactions, withheld funds linked to the activity or reports to relevant authorities.
Account and payment misuse
Duplicate accounts, third-party account access, false registration details, unauthorised payment methods, chargebacks, criminal funds and using the account as a banking facility are prohibited.
Unfair or automated play
Cheating, collusion, bots, hacking, automated exploitation, chip dumping and deliberate use of faults, loopholes or pricing anomalies are prohibited.
Location manipulation
UK customers must not conceal or falsify their location, including through a VPN or another technology used to appear in an eligible territory.
Promotion abuse
Manipulating eligibility, coordinating accounts, breaching offer rules or obtaining promotional value dishonestly can lead to bonuses and related winnings being voided.
What happens during an investigation?
The account may remain suspended while the matter is reviewed. During suspension, access to funds and account features can be restricted. Respond promptly and accurately to reasonable information requests, as delays can extend the investigation.
If the issue is resolved satisfactorily, restrictions may be lifted. If prohibited or illegal activity is established, the account may be closed and affected deposits, payouts, bonuses or winnings may be voided, recovered or withheld as allowed by the Terms of Use and applicable law.
7. Safer gambling, time-outs and self-exclusion
Gambling should be used as entertainment and only with money you can afford to lose. bwin may apply protective account measures where activity suggests a risk of gambling harm. These measures can include contact, limits, promotion restrictions, suspension or closure.
Available account controls
- Deposit, loss, stake or other financial controls where available.
- Reality checks and session-management tools.
- Time-outs for a temporary break from gambling.
- Self-exclusion for a longer period.
- Account closure through settings or customer support.
Do not try to bypass a self-exclusion by opening another account, changing details or using an account registered to someone else. bwin participates in GAMSTOP, the UK-wide online self-exclusion service.
8. Closing, reopening and inactive accounts
You may request account closure through your account settings or customer support. Any available balance should be withdrawn, subject to verification and any lawful right to delay or withhold funds under the Terms of Use.
Open transactions may remain valid where their outcome has not yet been determined. Any valid return is handled after settlement, subject to the applicable terms. A voluntarily closed account may be eligible for reactivation after contact with support and an applicable cooling-off period. Self-excluded accounts follow separate rules and cannot be reopened before the exclusion expires.
Under the published UK terms, an account may be treated as inactive after 13 consecutive months without a cash wager or bet. bwin will attempt to notify the customer and return the balance. Where the balance cannot be returned, an inactive-account administration fee may apply after advance notice. Check the current terms for the applicable amount and conditions.
Complaint and dispute resolution route
Keep dates, transaction references, screenshots and copies of messages. A clear factual summary helps each review stage progress efficiently.
Customer Services
Explain the issue, relevant date, account details and the outcome you are seeking.
Manager review
An unresolved enquiry can be reviewed by a team or line manager.
bwin Complaints Team
The matter can be escalated internally for a final bwin response.
IBAS
An eligible unresolved UK gambling dispute may be referred to the approved adjudication service.
9. How to make a complaint or raise a dispute
Begin with Customer Services. Provide your account identifier, the date and time of the event, the game or transaction involved, any reference number, a concise description of what happened and the resolution you are requesting.
If the first response does not resolve the matter, ask for a manager review. An unresolved issue can then be escalated to the bwin Complaints Team. The published UK complaints procedure states that receipt should normally be acknowledged within 24 hours and a final position provided within eight weeks, subject to pauses while necessary information is awaited from you.
Once the internal procedure has ended or deadlock has been reached, an eligible gambling dispute may be referred to the Independent Betting Adjudication Service. IBAS generally requires the operator’s internal complaints process to be completed first.
| Information | Example | Why it helps |

| Supporting evidence | Screenshot, error message or account notification | Clarifies what was displayed and reduces repeated questions. |
| Requested resolution | Explanation, correction or transaction review | Shows what outcome you believe would resolve the matter. |

10. Changes, liability, intellectual property and governing law
Changes to the terms
The Terms of Use may be changed to reflect legal or regulatory requirements, new products, website changes or business practices. Significant amendments should be communicated through an appropriate method. Continued use after an amendment takes effect can constitute acceptance of the revised terms.
Website availability
bwin does not promise uninterrupted access or that every product will be free from errors, interruptions or malfunctions. Services can be suspended or amended for maintenance, security, legal or regulatory reasons.
Liability
Nothing in the terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or breach of statutory consumer rights. Other exclusions and limits apply as described in the complete General Terms.
Intellectual property
The website, software, design, graphics, databases, trademarks and published content belong to bwin, other Entain Group companies or their licensors. Content is made available for personal, non-commercial use and must not be copied, scraped, modified, reverse engineered or commercially exploited without permission.
Law and jurisdiction
The UK Terms of Use are governed by the laws of England and Wales and are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This does not remove mandatory consumer protections that apply in a customer’s home country.
