Provisions Relating to Specific Game

You hereby agree that in the event of your winning a jackpot of $5,000 or more in relation to any games with jackpot feature you will grant to Maritimepoker an irrevocable, exclusive and perpetual worldwide right and license, to use your name, photograph and likeness in any media, in connection with the marketing and promotion of Maritime and the Site and you will fully cooperate with Maritimepoker’s representatives in such regard.

Maritimepoker reserves the right, for a reasonable period of time, to review your jackpot win to ensure its validity.

Jackpot prizes may be awarded to the winners in up to 24 monthly instalments if so decided by Maritimepoker at its sole discretion.

Poker

You hereby acknowledge that all bets placed by you in relation to multi-player poker games are bets placed with other users and not bets placed with or against Maritimepoker. Maritimepoker does not assume any risk whatsoever for bets placed between you and any other user of the Service. Maritimepoker does not under any circumstances either place or accept bets itself.

 

You understand and agree that all of our multi-player poker games are public and therefore may be reviewed and published by other players, either at the time of the game or thereafter.

We provide multi-player poker games so as to provide a platform for users to play poker and to bet with each other using the Software. In consideration of this service we charge either:

a commission (known as a rake) which is calculated in accordance with Maritimepoker Rules; or

a percentage of the “buy-in” fee for tournaments.

Collusion: Collusion occurs when two or more players attempt to gain an unfair advantage which includes but is not limited to sharing knowledge of their cards or other information, and unless stated otherwise by Maritimepoker, by agreeing to split a prize-pool. Any player who colludes or attempts to collude with any other player while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of Maritimepoker, their account may be terminated immediately and Maritimepoker shall be entitled to retain all monies in such player’s account. We have developed and employ sophisticated proprietary technology intended to seek out and identify players acting in collusion. If Maritimepoker is informed about suspected collusive behaviour, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players’ access to the Service and/or block their accounts and withhold all available funds from within the accounts. No player shall have the right to require Maritimepoker to take any other steps against players suspected of collusion, cheating or any other form of fraud.

If you suspect that any player is colluding with another or cheating, you can contact us via email at support@maritimepoker.com

Chip-Dumping: Chip-dumping occurs when any player deliberately loses a hand in order to deliberately transfer his chips to another player. Any player who is involved in an act of chip-dumping or attempted chip-dumping while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of Maritimepoker and such player’s account may be terminated immediately. If Maritimepoker is informed about suspected Chip-Dumping, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players’ access to the Service and/or block their accounts and all monies in such player’s account. In such circumstances Maritimepoker will be under no obligation to refund to the relevant player any funds that may be in the account at such time.

If we reasonably suspect that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically in order to gain an advantage over another player or to commit any act in bad faith in relation to the other players or Maritimepoker – for example employing specific techniques to disadvantage other players or playing as a group, Maritimepoker shall have the right to block or terminate all such accounts and in such circumstances, Maritimepoker shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.

Seating Aids: Without derogating from the prohibited use of Software Aids, you are not allowed to use any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table (“Seating Aid”). We constantly review the use of the Services in order to detect the use of Seating Aids and in the event that we deem it has been used we reserve the right to take any action we see fit, including immediately blocking access to the Services to the offending user, terminating such user’s account and seizing all monies held in such account.

 

Abuse of the “Sit Out” Feature: The “Sit Out” feature is only intended for taking short breaks between extended periods of play. It is not intended for use while no play is taking place at the table, or for waiting on players to join or leave the table. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to take action against players “sitting out” for excessive periods of time. Players who repeatedly abuse the “Sit Out” feature may be restricted from participating in our poker games either temporarily or indefinitely.

Payment Disputes: Each user of the Service is fully responsible for paying any and all monies owed by it to other users of the Service and/or Maritimepoker. Any claim which a user of the Service may have for payment of winnings to it in respect of losing bets placed by another user of the Service are against that other user and not Maritimepoker. Maritimepoker is in no way responsible to pay you if any user of the Service fails to pay his debts for whatever reason, or for taking any action whatsoever against such users. All disputes that arise between users of the Service, including those relating to payment fraud, are not the responsibility of Maritimepoker.

If your account is associated with poker fraud in any way – for example through Chip Dumping, Collusion, or the receipt of fraudulent Money Transfers – your account may be terminated, and we will be under no obligation to refund to you the funds from your account. This is irrespective of whether your account can be proven as intentionally receiving funds from a fraudulent user.

In the event of a poker fraud investigation we are under no obligation to accept any explanation provided for the receipt or use of fraudulent funds. If such an investigation is resolved, and your account is reopened, we may choose to remove the amount of fraudulent funds from your bankroll.

Money Transfers: All money transfers are subject to Maritimepoker's approval. If you choose to send a money transfer to any account, once the amount and the recipient username has been approved and confirmed, such transfer is irreversible, and we will not be responsible for any loss of funds caused by the member transferring monies to the wrong account. However, Maritimepoker at its sole discretion reserves the right to reverse any money transfer which it suspects of being fraudulent or connected with any illegal activity.

If your account receives funds via money transfer from accounts that have security issues, we reserve the right to block your account and withhold any funds, until such security issues are resolved on all accounts – including those that you received money transfers from. No player shall have the right to require Maritimepoker to take any steps against players suspected of collusion, cheating or any other form of fraud. Maritimepoker will not provide information with regards to investigations or any subsequent outcome. You are fully aware that there is a risk of losing money when gambling by means of the Services and you are fully responsible for any such loss. You agree that your use of the Services is at your sole option, discretion and risk. Other than as stated herein, in relation to your losses you shall have no claims whatsoever against Maritimepoker and any of their respective directors, officers or employees.

If we reasonably suspect that the member is abusing our free games offers, we may choose to terminate the account, and any related accounts across our Services, and withhold any funds from such accounts. If we reasonably suspect that the member is abusing the spirit of the free games – for example, by playing repeatedly only with free games, we may choose to close the account, and any related accounts across our Services, and withhold any funds from such accounts.

If we have reason to suspect that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically – for example employing specific wagering techniques or wagering as a group, Maritimepoker shall have the right to block or terminate all accounts and in such circumstances, Maritimepoker shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.
