All Organizer’s online interactive casino slot games and table games have been certified by a laboratory licensed by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Croatia.

These Rules are available to the Player on the homepage of Organizer’s online casino, generally define all requirements for online participating in and playing slot machines and tables, and were prepared in compliance with all laws and regulations concerning this industry.

The graphic presentation of the slot machines and tables include the rules and instructions for playing which describe how each slot machine game is played, explain the role and meaning of each symbol in the game, and provide other information to be used by the Player to better understand and participate in a game. A prize scheme is available to Players at each slot machine and table.

The slot machine offers Players different options of real playing for money and trial games used by Players to become better acquainted with and to demonstrate the game. The Player does not win the prizes earned in a trial game and they are not credited to his virtual account (i-Account). When selecting a real option of playing for money, the Player may freely choose a stake for participating in the game, ranging from the minimum to the maximum stake (price) offered for participation in a specific game in accordance with the defined denomination for each game. The Organizer reserves the right to define the minimum and maximum stakes (prices) offered for each game.

The result of a slot or table game is graphically displayed on the slot machine as a winning combination of symbols in accordance with the prize scheme. The prize won is automatically credited to the Player’s virtual account (i-Account).

 

VIRTUAL ACCOUNT (i-Account) CLOSING

 

Article 13

The Player may at any time, without giving his reasons, submit a written request for the closure of his online account to the Organizer’s address or by e-mail to [email protected].

The Organizer reserves the right to withhold payments of all prizes if they were won as a result of a technical error, subject to refunding the stake to the Player. The Organizer shall not be liable for any damage incurred or caused as a result of a defect for which it is not responsible or which is beyond its control, such as defects in communication, systems or equipment, or any damage resulting from force majeure.

The self-exclusion is initiated by the player individually on his user profile and is effective right away for up to 365 days.

BONUSES AND PROMOTIONS

 

Article 17

For game promotion purposes, the Organizer reserves the right to grant different types of bonuses, points, free turns or other similar benefits to Players, subject to predefined terms and conditions applicable to each type of promotion. The Organizer’s website provides information about the terms and conditions governing the Player’s right to each type of bonus, points, free turns or other similar benefits.

To inform Players of its promotional activities, the Organizer shall also send e-mails and text messages to Player’s e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers specified by them in the process of registration. A successfully completed registration process implies that the Player voluntarily agrees to receive promotional messages and information from the Organizer by e-mail and mobile phone. The online casino website allows the Player to opt for or opt out of receiving promotional e-mails and text messages by checking the designated box. The Organizer reserves the right to contact the Player by e-mail in case a message is relevant to his personal use of the system.

To enlarge its online casino service range, the Organizer reserves the right to define and implement various kinds of Jackpots.

All promotions and bonuses at Senator online casino are valid only when the Player receives them directly from the Organizer. The bonus is void if the Player requests a withdrawal or payout from the online account before playing the amount for which the bonus was awarded. This means that the player must use the bonus money that was awarded to them a certain number of times before the money can be withdrawn. Only regular bets count toward the amount that needs to be played for the money to be eligible for withdrawal; bets with doubling options or similar features are not included. While the bonuses have not been fully converted to cash or removed from the account, the terms for that bonus still apply. This includes any outstanding deductions from the Player's account.

The Organizer reserves the right, through Customer Service, to request email confirmation for receiving bonus promotions.

The Organizer reserves the right, when processing a payout to the Player, to review the games played, and any suspicious or unusual Player activity may lead to the possibility of canceling or holding all winnings and bonuses, and it will be considered a violation of the bonus terms and conditions.

The Organizer reserves the right to deny the Player any earned bonuses if those bonuses were not earned in accordance with the terms of a particular promotion. In the case of abuse, the Organizer reserves the right to end the promotion prematurely and restrict the use of individual or all Player online accounts and bonuses. The Organizer reserves the right to cancel all bonuses and/or winnings obtained through the violation or abuse of the bonus rules.
