Joka Bet Rules and Regulations in United Kingdom

These Terms set the legal rules for use of the website and mobile app in the United Kingdom. They govern registration, your account, betting services, payments, bonuses, and rights. The requirements apply to every user who accesses the official site or app in the United Kingdom. By using Joka Bet, you confirm you are 18 or over and that you have read and accept these rules.

General Terms

By creating an account, placing a bet, or using our services, you agree to these Terms and to all policies referenced here. If you do not agree, you must stop using the platform.

Eligibility and registration

  • You must be at least 18 years old and legally allowed to participate in betting in the United Kingdom.
  • You must not use VPNs, proxies, or any tools that mask your location. You may hold only one account.
  • During registration and at any time thereafter, we may require identity and age verification. Unverified or incomplete profiles may be limited or suspended.

Your account and verification

  • Keep login details secure and update your information so it remains accurate and complete.
  • We may request documents for KYC and source of funds or source of wealth checks. Failure to provide satisfactory evidence may lead to restrictions or closure.
  • You are responsible for all activity and bets placed through your credentials.

Changes to these Terms

  • We may update these Terms to reflect legal, regulatory, or operational changes.
  • Material changes will be communicated in advance where practicable. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated terms.

Acceptable use

  • Use the platform for lawful betting only. Do not attempt to manipulate odds, markets, bonuses, or software.
  • Do not engage in collusion, arbitrage based on technical faults, scraping, or automated bet placement.
  • We may suspend or close accounts that breach these rules.

Intellectual property and content

  • All site and app content, code, and data are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, distribute, or modify any content without permission.
  • Third-party data such as event information, live scores, and odds feeds remain the property of their respective owners.

Promotions and bonuses

  • Promotions, bonus credit, free bets, or other offers are subject to specific terms shown at the time of the offer.
  • Wagering requirements, time limits, and market restrictions may apply. Bonus abuse, multiple account use, or misrepresentation may result in bonus removal and account action.

Liability limits

  • We do not accept liability for losses arising from failures of telecommunications, device issues, or third-party data errors beyond our reasonable control.
  • Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Complaints and dispute resolution

  • Contact Customer Support first and provide all relevant details. We aim to resolve complaints promptly and fairly.
  • If a dispute remains unresolved after our internal process, you may escalate it to an approved alternative dispute resolution body, as required by UK regulation.

Governing law

  • For users in the United Kingdom, these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

Joka Bet reserves the right to refuse service where use would be unlawful or contrary to these Terms.

General Betting Rules

These rules govern how bets are offered, accepted, settled, and paid.

Eligibility to place bets

  • You must have a verified account, be 18 or over, and be located in the United Kingdom when placing a bet.
  • Self-excluded or time-out accounts cannot place bets until the exclusion or break ends.
  • Your balance must cover the stake and any applicable fees shown at checkout.

Bet acceptance

  • A bet is accepted when it receives a unique transaction ID in your bet history. Pending or processing status means it is not yet accepted.
  • We may refuse or limit stakes, or close markets, at our discretion for risk or integrity reasons.
  • Odds and markets may change prior to acceptance. Bets accepted at confirmed odds stand subject to these rules.

Minimum and maximum stakes

  • Minimum and maximum stakes, as well as market or event limits, are displayed on site or in the app and may vary by sport, market, or time.
  • We may set account-level limits for responsible gambling or risk control.

Settlement and calculation of wins and losses

  • Bets are settled on the official result as published by the relevant governing body for the event.
  • If a market outcome is unambiguously determined before an abandonment, bets on that market stand. Otherwise, the bet may be void and the stake returned.
  • Dead heat rules apply proportionally to stakes and returns where there are multiple joint winners.
  • Payouts are credited to your account balance once settlement is completed.

Errors and palpable pricing

  • If a bet is accepted at an obviously incorrect price, line, or market due to human or system error, we may void the bet or settle it at the correct odds that should reasonably have been available.

Restrictions on betting

  • Syndicate betting, collusion, and use of automated systems are prohibited.
  • Integrity threats, misuse of inside information, or violation of sports rules may result in voiding bets and account action.

Cancellations and voids

  • You cannot cancel a bet after acceptance.
  • If an event is postponed or abandoned, affected bets are handled according to the specific market rules shown in the bet slip or rules pages. Where no rule exists, bets may be void.

Cash out and partial cash out

  • Cash out is optional and not guaranteed. Availability depends on the market, event, and system availability.
  • Quotes provided for cash out are not odds and may change or be withdrawn before confirmation.

Payment Rules

These rules cover deposits, withdrawals, fees, and verification for your account.

Funding your account

  • Accepted methods include debit cards, bank transfer, and approved e-wallets listed in the cashier. Credit cards are not allowed for UK customers.

  • Funds are credited when we receive authorisation from your payment provider.

Withdrawals

  • Withdrawals are paid to the original payment method where possible, subject to anti-fraud and regulatory requirements.
  • We process requests as soon as practicable once checks are complete. Method-specific timeframes are shown in the cashier.
  • We do not charge withdrawal fees. Third-party fees or currency conversion charges may apply.
  • For UK accounts, withdrawal reversal is not offered.

Verification and security checks

  • Before your first withdrawal and at any time thereafter, we may complete identity, age, address, and source of funds or wealth checks.
  • We may request documents such as photo ID, proof of address, payment method statements, payslips, bank statements, or other relevant evidence.

Transaction restrictions and monitoring

  • We may set daily, weekly, or monthly transaction limits for responsible gambling or security.
  • Transactions may be delayed or declined to prevent fraud, money laundering, or unauthorised use.

Cancellations and chargebacks

  • We may void bets, cancel transactions, or freeze funds where payment is charged back, unauthorised, or fraudulent.
  • Suspicious or unlawful activity may be reported to relevant authorities and may lead to account closure.

Contact Support if you need help understanding limits, fees shown by your provider, or timeframes published in the cashier. Joka Bet may amend available methods to comply with legal and risk requirements.
