5.8. Structured Payout Arrangements for Large Wins:

Whe a withdrawal request is materially disproportionate to a player’s historical activity, including where it exceeds defined thresholds or represents a multiple of lifetime deposits, the Company may, at its discretion, apply a structured payout arrangement.

In such cases, withdrawals may be paid in instalments determined by internally defined proportionality and risk coefficients, taking into account factors such as lifetime deposits, net position, and account activity. Instalment amounts and frequency will be set and may be adjusted periodically to ensure alignment with the player’s financial profile and the Company’s operational requirements.

Reasonable minimum and maximum limits may apply as defined by the Company from time to time, provided that no monthly instalment shall be less than 1,000 EUR.

Progressive Jackpot Exception: The structured payout arrangement outlined in Section 5.10 does not apply to networked Progressive Jackpot winnings (e.g., global pooled jackpots managed by third-party game providers).

5.14. Third-Party Withdrawal Prohibition: You are strictly prohibited from withdrawing funds to accounts or wallets not registered in your legal name. Use of third-party details is a breach of contract resulting in forfeiture of winnings and account closure.
