If we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have more than one Account (including any Accounts you opened with misspellings or different variations of your name or email) and we reasonably believe that multiple Accounts have been opened or used in breach of the Terms of Use, we may close your Accounts, or allow you to retain the first Account you opened with us.

Bet9ja will address the issue that has given rise to the Account suspension as soon as may be reasonably practicable, including requesting verification information from you. As a result of the review or investigation, the Account and/or any specific suspended functionality will be either re-activated or terminated. If any potentially suspicious activity is performed under your Account, you may be requested to provide us with additional documentation confirming your identity or source of funds or address. Such evidence may be requested due to, but not limited to the same, the size, volume or pattern of bets placed under the Account. Bet9Ja may suspend or close your Account immediately as a result of the activity that cannot be verified by a supporting evidence. If Bet9Ja terminates the Account pursuant to the foregoing or due to your breach of any of the Terms of Use, and you have placed any bets on the events that have not yet taken place as of the time of the termination of the Account, Bet9ja reserves the right to void such bets and return the original stakes to your Account balance; this includes the multiple bets which will be recalculated and settled accordingly. In the event of termination of the Account for the reasons of fraud or associated fraudulent type of behaviour, any residual credit balance, including the winnings may be forfeited and the open bets void. On termination of the Account, your rights to use the Services shall immediately terminate. It is your sole responsibility to uninstall or remove any software used in relation to the use of the Website and/or the Services, as you may deem appropriate.

We reserve the right to  withhold the funds in the Account from you pending determination of any investigation where we suspect you have acted in breach of these Terms of Use or any other rules and terms and conditions applicable to or any part of the Services, including, where we suspect the Account to be linked with fraudulent or suspicious activity, and where we have to withhold the funds by law or to comply with any request or instruction form any governmental or regulatory authority.
    Bet9ja shall not be liable to you for any termination of the Account for whichever reason. Your sole remedy in the event of termination of the Account shall be the payment of any then valid undisputed Account balance, and Bet9Ja shall have no further liability whatsoever.
  11. Bet9ja shall report any of your Account details to sporting bodies, associations, authorities, police or any other investigatory and/or state authorities, or any other third party as prescribed or permitted by law or any applicable rules.

   V. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS

  1. You can deposit the funds into your Account with one of the payment methods made available by Bet9ja. Bet9ja reserves the right to verify the ownership of the payment method(s) utilised to credit your Account and/or ownership or origin of the funds by requesting supporting evidence from you. If you deposit funds using a payment method (bank account, credit or debit card) that is not registered or issued in your name, and without limiting our rights, we may (i) suspend your Account and/or (ii) request from your additional information and documentation we may deem necessary to demonstrate that you are authorised to use the respective payment method. Your Account may remain suspended until you provide and we verify the information and/or documentation requested. Any bank account you register under the Account, at Account registration or otherwise, must be operated by a Nigerian licensed bank and be registered in your name only. In no way does this limit the other remedies that may be available to us in the event that you did not have permission and authorisation to use another person’s payment method or if any of the Services require the deposit(s) to be made from the payment method that is issued or registered in your name. If we determine that a deposit into your Account is made from a payment method held or issued in third party’s name, or from the monies provided to you by a third party to be used for wagering, then we may elect to refund the deposit directly back to its source. If this determination occurs after bets have been placed, your bets will be voided and we will not be obliged to pay any winnings which might otherwise have been payable to you or reimburse you for any loss incurred. Bet9ja does not charge the fees for deposits made by bank transfers, credit or debit cards however, your payment provider’s charges may apply. The minimum and maximum deposit amount may apply depending on the type of the payment method you choose and you can only bet up to the amount available on your Account and subject to the minimum and maximum limits then applicable to the bets. Please refer to our FAQs and help pages. Any deposits that are subject to the bonus promotion offer will be regulated by the bonus promotion rules and may not be available for withdrawal.
  2. The Account is provided to you solely to enable you to use the Services and pursuant to the Terms of Use only. Your Account should not be used as a banking facility and will not generate any interest. Deposits should only be made with a view to using the funds to place bets. If you, for whatever reason, appear to be depositing or withdrawing money without genuine play, Bet9ja reserves the right to suspend or restrict your Account and to investigate the relevant activity. This may result in the Account being terminated.  In such circumstances, we reserve the right, in addition to any other rights we have, to set off from your Account, without prior notice, any bank charges we have incurred.
  3. Bet9ja reserves the right to change the payment methods we accept from time to time. Furthermore, in our absolute discretion and without giving reason, we reserve the right to refuse to accept any type of payment method presented to us irrespective of whether we have previously accepted such payment method type from you or would usually accept that payment type from any User.
  4. The User may withdraw the available cash balance of the Account (this will include any winnings received from any bet made from the cash balance of the Account) by making a withdrawal request. The withdrawals can be made into the bank account only, such bank account registered under your Account subject to Clause 1 of this Section V.
  5. Bet9ja reserves the right to reject any withdrawal of funds if it appears to be linked with the transactions predominantly performed with the purpose of allowing the transfer of money from one payment method to another, including, without limitation un-played deposits withdrawals and in the event the User cannot provide satisfactory evidence of the payment method ownership.
  6. Bet9ja may undertake any verification checks at withdrawal as may be required by Bet9ja or by third parties (including, but not limited to, regulatory bodies). Bet9ja may suspend the availability of any withdrawal method and/or the withdrawal function available under the Account until the completion of the verification checks and/or suspend the Account and/or any of the Services availability.

    – Any other document that may be relevant in order to complete the check.

  8. The User shall not attempt any charge-backs, reversals or otherwise cancel any deposit previously made into the Account. If we incur any charge-backs, reversals or other charges in respect of your Account, we reserve the right to charge you for and/or set off from your Account balance the relevant amounts incurred.
