Palpable Errors

  1. While every effort is made to ensure there are no errors or omissions in respect of our products and services, the nature of human error or system problems means such circumstances may arise. A non-exhaustive list of “obvious errors” is outlined below:
  • Odds or terms of a bet or game wager have been misquoted as a result of human error (for example, information being inputted incorrectly, or markets being set up incorrectly) or due to computer malfunction;
  • A bet is accepted at a price or market condition which is significantly different from those available in the market at the time the bet was placed;
  • In the context of normal betting business, and the probability of the event occurring, a bet is accepted at a price which is obviously incorrect;
  • Bets have continued to be accepted on a market which should have been suspended, or the market has already closed, or has been postponed, which are sometimes referred to as “late bets”;
  • The amount of winnings, returns or promotional benefits or bonuses paid to you are miscalculated as a result of human error or computer malfunction;
  • Where winnings are so obviously incorrect or materially different to those available in the market that this is a clear error or omission e.g., the price is recorded as 100-1 or the margins for handicap betting have been reversed;
  • An error has resulted from Prohibited Acts;
  • In accordance with product rules, where a bet should not have been accepted, and If such circumstances arise, we reserve the right (and at our sole discretion) to cancel the bet and either:
  • Correct the error on the bet placed and resettle the bet at the correct price or terms which were (or should have been) available to Us when the bet was placed; or;
  • Declare the bet void and return the stake to Your account where correction is not reasonably practicable.; and
  • Take any further reasonable steps and actions deemed necessary by Kwikbet to remedy the error, loss, or damages that Kwikbet stands to suffer as a result of an error leading to an incorrectly accepted bet.

  • You are obligated to notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event in no more than four (4) days;
  • We reserve the right to deduct or reverse any incorrectly applied funds from your account. Where such funds have been withdrawn by You, We may demand that you make a full refund to Us and may take other recovery measures such as automatically debiting Your account whenever it has a positive balance.

If you use incorrectly credited funds to place bets, we reserve the right to void all such related bets and reverse any winnings.

If incorrect stakes are deducted from your account:

  • You are obliged to notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event in no more than four (4) days;
  • We reserve the right to void all such bets and reverse any winnings;
  • If bets are placed using winnings related to bet(s) on which incorrect stakes were deducted, we reserve the right to void such bets placed and reverse any winnings.

In respect of any reversals, if no such funds are available in your account to make good any funds deficit resulting from the reversal (for example, where the funds have been withdrawn by you), we reserve the right to recover such funds from you (with interest at market rates) on demand. If necessary, we are permitted to off-set any subsequent amounts you deposit or win with us to make good this liability.
