2. Conduct of Entrants
2.1 You may only have one Stars Account with us, and you must use that Stars Account so as to take part in the Offer. Furthermore, you must not permit another person to take part in the Offer using your Stars Account.
2.2 If we become aware of any fraud, deceit, misconduct, dishonesty or similar action concerning your participation in the Offer or where you breach these Rules, the EULA or the Tournament Rules, then we reserve the absolute right to automatically disqualify you or invalidate your entry. If the fraud, deceit, misconduct, dishonesty or other action is only discovered after any prize has been awarded to you, then you shall be required, upon demand, to return the same (or provide compensation) to us forthwith upon notification to do so by us.
2.3 Throughout the duration of any Offer, strict rules regarding the behaviour of all Entrants will be enforced by our team and/or our designees.

The decision as to what activity or behaviour constitutes a breach of these Rules or the Offer or what constitutes an act of deceit or dishonesty in relation to any conduct by an Entrant while participating in this Offer rests solely with us and in our sole discretion.
2.4 Players are advised that placing ‘safe’ bets in order to complete a Casino Challenge will see the player excluded from an offer. Safe bets include, but are not limited to, betting on Black/Red on the Roulette table. Please note that covering the Roulette table, including Live Dealer Roulette table, by 65% or more will result in that bet earning 0 reward points (or redemption points). All play will be reviewed by our management, and their decision will be final.
3. Prizes/Gifts
3.1 We will set out on the Site, the duration as well as the final date for entry into each Offer or the number of entries we will accept before closing the Offer.

3.7 Prizes/Gifts are subject to availability. In the event of unavailability, we reserve the right to provide an alternative Prize or Gift of similar value and specification.
3.8 There may be additional terms and conditions imposed by the supplier of a Prize or Gift (“Third Party Rules”) in order for you to claim and/or use a particular Prize or Gift and we will not be responsible for your failure to comply with any such Third Party Rules. In addition, you may be required to enter into a separate binding agreement with us with regards to conditions governing the award and/or use of any element of the Prize and/or Gift. Failure to abide by such conditions may result in the forfeiture of the Prize/Gift.
