Assignment

Neither these Terms nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by you without the prior written consent of us, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. We may, without your consent, assign all or any portion of our rights and obligations hereunder to any third party provided such third party is able to provide a service of substantially similar quality to the Service by posting written notice to this effect on the Service.

Severability

In the event that any provision of these Terms is deemed by any competent authority to be unenforceable or invalid, the relevant provision shall be modified to allow it to be enforced in line with the intention of the original text to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms shall not be affected.

Breach of These Terms

Without limiting our other remedies, we may suspend or terminate your Account and refuse to continue to provide you with the Service, in either case without giving you prior notice, if, in our reasonable opinion, you breach any material term of these Terms. Notice of any such action taken will, however, be promptly provided to you.

Responsible Gambling

Underage access and play is prohibited. Without limiting any other provision herein, and in the interests of transparency, under no circumstances may an Account be created by a user under the legal age of eighteen (18), nor is anyone under the age of eighteen (18) permitted to play. Any Account winnings that are identified by us as improper or used by a minor will be blocked and the Account will be closed.
Recreational activity. The Site and services are created solely for recreational, entertainment purposes. We are committed to ensuring that players have the ability to manage or limit their gambling on the Site. If gambling is negatively affecting professional or personal life, please refer to the resources available here for advice or assistance.
Self-Managed Control Limits. We maintain processes for managing your deposits on the Website, you may request at any time the history of your deposits and withdrawals on the Website, and we will send you the current information available on our Website. Any kind of increase in the deposit or withdrawal limit will depend on the approval of our team and must be consulted through our Chat.
Account Closure due to Gambling Problems. You have the option to deactivate your account and self-exclude if you think you have gambling problems. When you contact our Customer Service team to request an account closure, you must provide your security details and you must make it clear that you are requesting an account closure due to game issues or a self-exclusion. This is to ensure that such requests are different from account freeze requests. If you have requested that your account be closed as a result of realizing that you may or do have problems with the game, your account will be permanently closed, with no possibility of reactivation.
Temporarily set the limit to zero / "Cool down". You have the option to temporarily deactivate the account for any reason and request that it be reopened for the period specified in your request. This request must be made with our Customer Service team, in which you must state the reason, security details and also the period of your interruption. Deactivations are not definitive and keep your actual balance frozen on your own account, and if there is any active bonus, it may expire during the period your account is frozen, and the reactivated bonus will not be refunded. To reactivate the account, the request must also be made through our Customer Service. If our system detects possible patterns related to betting control, we may discontinue your participation on our website, leaving your account deactivated for a longer period of time or even permanently, depending on our internal analysis. This period will be determined and reported by our Team. The period of time of freezing or permanent closure will allow the player and the website to rethink their participation in the games.
Offensive or defamatory language. We value the good use of the platform and our services, using clear, objective and friendly language in our communications. We will not tolerate inappropriate and offensive language in any means of communication that the player comes into contact with the company, for example, chat, email, phone, etc. Also, you do not have the right to defame HotSpotBet or Mtech Ventures B.V. using inside information or even false opinions about any product or service, using any media or external websites.
