“Casino Bets”means the total amount of bets made by Customers on Casino Games;

“Returned Transactions”means the total amount of all returned Transactions (including amounts paid by Boylesports or any of its Affiliates as a result of credit card abuse or fraud, or paid to settle any claim involving the allegation of credit card abuse of fraud), all Transactions that are disputed or denied by Customers, and all other amounts generated by Customers which Boylesports is unable to collect, either from them or from the relevant financial institution or payment services provider;
“Payment Processing Fees”means the commissions and fees paid to any payment processing service providers with respect to the Transactions of the Customers;
“Third Party Licensing Fees”shall mean the total amount of licensing fees, royalties or other payments payable by Boylesports to third parties for the inclusion of any of the Games as part of the e-Gaming Offering. For avoidance of doubt, this deduction shall be on a marginal basis (i.e. not including fixed costs but the additional cost attributable to the inclusion of such Game as part of the e-Gaming Offering);
“Other Fair Value Adjustments”means (a) any taxation, levy or similar mandatory payments levied or charged on turnover or deposit, or similarly driven by the Customers’ activity or activity volume, (b) accounting standards or industry practice such that the Net Gaming Revenue as reported by the Boylesports Group in its audited consolidated financial statements is consistent with the definition used herein for purposes of calculating the parties’ entitlement and (c) applicable jackpots insurance contribution or similar adjustments as required such that the parties’ entitlement to a portion of Net Gaming Revenue hereunder is applied to the free amount available for apportionment after such adjustments.
| 2. | Revenue Share |
| 1.1. | For the duration of the Term, Boylesports shall retain all revenue generated from the Customers and will be responsible for paying them their winnings, and will pay the Partner a portion of the Net Gaming Sportsbook Revenue (on a basis set out below, whereby the percentage of Partner’s Revenue Share with respect to each incremental tranche increases as the Net Gaming Revenue increases), as follows: |
| Net Gaming Revenue per month | Partner’s Revenue Share | Boylesports | Minimum Guarantee to Boylesports per month | ||||||||

| €1m+ | 85 | % | 15 | % | Months 7-12-€10,000 | ||||||
Casino, Games and Bingo revenues are split in the ratio 50/50 after all operators fees have been deducted.

| 2.6. | The Net Gaming Revenue shall accrue per each Game in the currency in which such Game is actually offered (which may vary from one Game to another and from one language to another). The Boylesports Revenue Share, however, will be paid to Boylesports in Euro, regardless of the currency (or currencies) in which the Net Gaming Revenue had actually accrued. The conversion of all relevant currencies into Euro, for the purpose of computing and paying the Boylesports Revenue Share, will be made on a monthly basis according to the prevailing spot foreign exchange rate for the relevant currency provided by the Boylesports’ Bank on the last Business Day of the month with respect to which the Revenue Share is due. |
| 2.7. | Likewise, the computation of the amount of the Net Gaming Revenue for the purpose of determining the percentage of the Revenue Share each party is entitled to according to the table set forth in Section 2.1 above shall be made in Euro, based on the prevailing spot foreign exchange rate for the relevant currency provided by Boylesports’ Bank on the last Business Day of the month with respect to which such computation is being made. |

7.6 You confirm that any payment information that you submit to us is correct and that you are an authorised signatory of the Card and bank account (where relevant) that you use in respect of the Website or Account. You are responsible for paying any transaction charge payable to a third party referable to the payment method that you use and this is not included in the amount of the Bet. If any queries subsequently arise in relation to any payment details that you submit to us you agree to provide us with any information that we reasonably request from you regarding the query.
7.7 Payments will be sent by us to you when you send us a request for a payment and are not issued automatically to you. We may prescribe the form of request and the details that you must provide to us when making a request for a payment from us.

Boylesports will only transfer funds from your Account to a bank account in the same name as that registered to that Account.

I. A photocopy of both sides of your Card clearly showing your signature.

You acknowledge that cheques can take up to three weeks to arrive depending on geographical location and the inter-bank arrangements. Boylesports accept no liability in relation to any delays related to the processing of withdrawals from your Account.
7.12 We reserve the right to reclaim from you any incorrectly transferred monies relating to incorrect settlement of Bets or to incorrect payments and by accepting these Terms you authorise Boylesports to withdraw such monies directly from your account into which the monies have been paid, to cancel cheques that you may have received or to direct that your Card be debited to the amount paid over.

In such an event, we also reserve the right to make the appropriate adjustment to your account and to set-off any amounts owing to us. You agree to repay any monies paid to you in error immediately upon a demand from us. If we have not received payment within five days after the demand date from you, and without prejudice to any other our rights or remedies, interest shall accrue on such due amounts at the rate of 2% over the base lending rate of our bankers in Ireland from time to time, commencing on the due date and continuing until fully paid, whether before or after the judgment.
7.14 You agree not to make any charge-backs, reversals or otherwise cancel any deposits into your Account, and in any such event to immediately refund and compensate us for such unpaid deposits including any expenses incurred by us in the process of collecting your deposit. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have we may suspend any activity on your Account, including the payment to you of any requested withdrawal, until such deposits and expenses are paid in full without any liability to you.
7.15 Your Account is not a bank account and is therefore not insured, guaranteed, sponsored or otherwise protected by any deposit or banking insurance system or by any other similar insurance system. Any monies deposited with us in your Account shall not attract any interest. Monies deposited with us are held under a normal bank account in the name of the appropriate company and are not subject to special trust or fiduciary arrangements.

Until acceptance, no communications from you shall be binding on us and all information displayed on this site constitutes an invitation to Bet or avail of the Services only.

Without prejudice to the generality of the previous sentence, Boylesports reserves the right to determine that any Bet is null and void where we have accepted the Bet after the betting has closed, where the event was resolved or at a stage where you could have had any indication of the likely outcome of the event. We reserve the right to determine that any Bet or Bets is/are null and void where it/they is/are made by any group of people acting in liaison in an attempt to defraud us.
