You may only create one Account. If you create multiple Accounts, we reserve the right to delete any or all of your Accounts without any liability to you.

The Service is available worldwide. However, certain states or countries may restrict or prohibit its residents from playing some Games or participating in some Promotions. The Services are void where prohibited by applicable law. You may not register for and use the Service if you are prohibited doing so by the laws of your State or country of residence.

"Tokens" "Chips" and "Points" (as defined below) in Accounts have no monetary value, and cannot be exchanged for anything of value and cannot serve as a medium of exchange. Any and all references on the Service to "pots," "limits", "betting" or the like are solely for instructional or illustrative purposes and do not involve wagering real money.

We reserve the right, at any time, to take reasonable steps to verify your compliance with these Terms, including verifying your age, identity, and place of residency. We may use technological, administrative, or any other legally permitted method to verify your information, including by using age-gating, geo-gating, and location tracking tools.

a. The Service may include an opportunity to obtain, accumulate, manage, and purchase virtual, in-game currency and other digital and/or virtual assets, including Chips (the "Virtual Items") that may require you to pay a fee using real money to obtain the Virtual Items.

b. Your purchase of Virtual Items is final and is not refundable, transferable or exchangeable, except in our sole discretion. You may not purchase, sell, or exchange Virtual Items outside the Service. Doing so is a violation of the Terms and may result in termination of your Service account and/or legal action taken against you. We retain the right to manage, control, modify and/or eliminate Virtual Items or any other form of virtual currency at its sole discretion. Prices and availability of Virtual Items are subject to change without notice. Virtual Items may only be held by legal residents of countries or jurisdictions where access to and use of the Service are permitted.

We may halt, suspend, discontinue, or reverse any Virtual Items transaction (whether proposed, pending or past) in cases of actual or suspected fraud, violations of other laws or regulations, or deliberate disruptions to or interference with the Service, or the service of any affiliated or related third party. When you purchase Virtual Items, they will reside in your Account until discharged through use of the Service. Virtual Items are lost upon any termination of your right to use the Service.

e. From time to time, the Service may allow you to participate in Promotions where you may have the chance to win prizes.

a. The Service may provide you with the ability to earn virtual reward points ("Points") that may be redeemed for real-world rewards (a "Reward"). The number of Points and the type or "class" of Points that can be earned by participating in any opportunity to earn Points will be disclosed when the opportunity is presented. You earn Rewards by participating in certain actions via the Service, such as social participation, login, participation in certain in-game offers or other such in-game actions. POINTS ARE NOT AWARDED BASED UPON THE OUTCOME OF ANY GAMES. We may impose a limit on the number of Rewards in the aggregate or by type that may redeemed per Account, per day, per Reward or per any other generally-applicable metric that may be selected by us from time to time in its sole discretion.

b. You may redeem Points for pre-determined Rewards in the rewards store available via the Service (the "Rewards Store"). Points will expire if not used by a date specified by us. Rewards are subject to availability as determined by us in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to modify, amend or revise the Rewards available. The Rewards Store will display all Rewards available to you based on your membership level in any applicable rewards program offered by us in which you are enrolled. Rewards may be limited in quantity and other restrictions may apply including blackout dates, quantity limits, and subject to expiration dates. You may not rely on continued Reward availability. The number of Points required to redeem any Reward may be substantially increased, any Reward may be withdrawn, and restrictions on any Reward or its redemption may be imposed by us or our designee or the third party business partner supplying the Reward. Rewards have no cash value and are non-transferable. You may not sell, trade, barter, bequeath or in any way transfer any Reward to any other party. Any attempt to do so will invalidate the Reward and may result in the termination of your Account.

c. In order to claim a Reward, additional eligibility requirements may apply and enrollment may not be instantly available. Upon redeeming Points for Rewards, you may need to follow specific instructions to receive your Reward. Rewards may be cancelled and you will receive a refund of your Points for up to 24 hours following redemption of Points for the Reward. You will not receive a refund for Rewards that have expired. In the event that a Reward that you have claimed is unavailable for any reason, Pala may at its sole discretion refund the Points used to purchase the Reward. Once you have redeemed your Points, they are gone and there are no refunds, returns or exchanges for additional Points, cash, or other goods and services, even if you return the merchandise or other item(s) that your Points were redeemed toward.

d. If you have not logged in to your Account for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, your Account may be deemed inactive and your Points may be subject to immediate expiration. Inactive Accounts may be reactivated at any time by logging in and playing a Game. However, Points that expired due to inactivity will not be refunded.

e. Points remain the property of Pala and/or ClubWPT and may not be exchanged, sold, bartered, or otherwise transferred inside or outside the Service with other users or third parties. We reserve the right to take any action that we deem reasonable in the event you violate this restriction, including terminating your Account, banning you from the Service, and/or taking any legal action against you that we deem appropriate. We retain the right to manage, control, modify and/or eliminate Points any time at our sole discretion. Redemption rates, availability, and other such modifications of Points are subject to change without notice, as permitted by applicable laws. Further, we reserve the right to refuse the redemption of any Points for any reason.

All details and restrictions of the Rewards not specified at the time the redemption opportunity is presented will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Members shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local taxes including, without limitation, income taxes and any reporting consequences thereof in connection with a Reward. If required by law, as determined by us in our sole discretion, we reserve the right to withhold and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount of any taxes due.

In the case of a prize or Reward covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, neither the manufacturer, Pala nor ClubWPT are responsible for defects, subsequent use or misuse or covered repairs. In the case of merchandise not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, the merchandise is offered as is, and we are not responsible for any defects, use or misuse or repairs. We make no representations or warranties with respect to the authenticity or genuineness of any merchandise prizes, particularly collectible prizes. Prizes or Rewards involving travel and tourism will be from a specified list of cities. Any person who wins such a prize and wishes to depart from a city not on the specified list will be required to provide his or her own transportation to one of the specified cities. Information required to make the reservations for a travel prize, including the names and ages of all travelers, departure city, and, if applicable, choice of travel dates, must be provided within one week of the initial request for such information, or the prize may be voided. Neither Pala nor ClubWPT are responsible for any damage, injury or other liability incurred in connection with any travel or tourism, nor are we responsible for any cancellation, postponement, rescheduling or quality control issues with respect to fulfillment by the third-party travel or tourism providers. You agree to execute such releases as we may require for this purpose.
