Admiral Shark Rules and Regulations in the United Kingdom

These general terms govern your legal relationship with Admiral Shark when you access or use the betting and gaming services in the United Kingdom.

By using the services, creating an account, placing a bet, or claiming any bonus, you confirm that you:

• have read, understood, and accepted these terms and conditions
• agree to comply with all rules, policies, and procedures published on the site
• are entering into this agreement in your own name, on your own behalf, and not as an agent for any third party.

Eligibility and user requirements

To use the services and place bets you must:

• be at least 18 years of age
• be resident in, and physically located in, a part of the United Kingdom where online betting and gaming are allowed
• complete registration truthfully and accurately
• not be self-excluded from this platform or any other operator through any national or local self-exclusion scheme
• not be a person whose access has been suspended, closed, or restricted.

Admiral Shark may request documentation to verify your age, identity, address, source of funds, and any other information required for compliance or security purposes. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria or fail to provide requested documents, your account may be suspended or closed and any bets or bonuses may be voided in line with applicable law.

Agreement to updated terms

Admiral Shark may modify, update, or replace these terms from time to time:

• to reflect legal or regulatory changes
• to improve user protection and operational standards
• to address security, technical, or product developments.

Where changes are material, reasonable efforts will be made to notify you in advance through the site, app, or email. Continued use of your account or placement of bets after the effective date of updated terms will be treated as acceptance of those changes. You should read the terms regularly to stay informed of your rights and obligations.

Proper use of the services

You agree to use the site, app, and services only for personal entertainment and lawful betting on events and games offered. In particular you must not:

• open or hold more than one active account
• act on behalf of another person or permit third parties to use your account
• use automated systems, bots, or software to place bets or gain an unfair advantage
• manipulate, interfere with, or disrupt any event, game, odds, or system
• attempt unauthorised access to any part of the infrastructure.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details. Any bet made through your account, once accepted in accordance with these terms, will be treated as made by you.

Intellectual property and content

All intellectual property rights in the site, app, software, data, graphics, logos, odds displays, and other content are owned or licensed by Admiral Shark. You obtain a limited, non-transferable licence to access and use the services for placing bets and using permitted features.

You may not:

• copy, adapt, distribute, or exploit any content for commercial purposes
• interfere with or reverse engineer any software or security feature
• use any trademark, logo, or branding in a way that may cause confusion.

Limitation of liability

Admiral Shark provides the services using reasonable skill and care, subject to:

• maintenance, updates, and technical interruptions
• the inherent risks of internet-based communication.

Subject to mandatory legal rights that you hold under UK law, Admiral Shark will not be liable for:

• losses arising from events beyond reasonable control (for example, power failures, service outages, or third-party system errors)
• indirect or consequential losses, loss of data, reputation, or opportunity
• errors in results, event information, or live scoring provided by third parties, where Admiral Shark has taken reasonable steps to rely on accurate data.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited under the law of England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, as applicable.

These general betting rules apply to all bets placed on the Admiral Shark platform by users located in the United Kingdom, unless stated otherwise in sport-specific or game-specific rules.

Eligibility to place bets

You may place a bet only if:

• your registration has been completed and your account is active
• you have passed any mandatory verification checks required by law or by Admiral Shark
• you have sufficient available balance in your account
• you are not self-excluded or subject to any betting restriction.

Admiral Shark may refuse to accept a bet or part of a bet if there are concerns relating to eligibility, legal requirements, integrity, or responsible gambling.

Bet acceptance and confirmation

A bet is regarded as placed when you confirm it on the betting slip and it has been received by Admiral Shark. A bet is regarded as accepted when it appears in your betting history as an active bet, together with an accepted stake and odds.

Admiral Shark may void or decline all or part of a bet in the following situations:

• the bet is placed after the official start time of an event, other than valid in-play betting
• obvious or material errors in odds, market settlement, or event details
• breaches of these terms, including multiple bets from the same user or group that appear to exploit bonuses or technical errors
• integrity issues affecting the event, including suspected match fixing or rule breaches.

Where only part of a bet is affected by an error, Admiral Shark may void that part and settle the remainder at the correct odds.

Minimum and maximum betting amounts

Admiral Shark may set minimum and maximum stake limits for individual markets, bets, or users. These limits may vary based on:

• the event type
• the level of risk
• regulatory or internal risk management rules.

Stake limits will normally be presented on the bet slip before confirmation. Admiral Shark may also set maximum payout limits for certain events, combinations, or bet types, and may reduce or restrict stakes for particular users where necessary for regulatory or integrity reasons.

Calculation of wins and losses

Winnings are calculated using the accepted odds and the confirmed stake at the time your bet is accepted. For example:

• single bet winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the odds, and then subtracting the original stake where applicable
• accumulator or multiple bets are calculated using the combined odds of all selections, subject to all legs being settled as winning, unless specific rules for bonuses or concessions apply.

Returns are credited to your account balance once the event has been settled. If an event is postponed, abandoned, or voided, settlement will follow the sport-specific or market-specific rules published on the site. If a bet is settled in error, Admiral Shark may reverse the settlement and correct the account balance to reflect the accurate outcome.

Betting restrictions and conduct

Admiral Shark may impose restrictions on bets, markets, or user behaviour to protect the integrity of events and comply with legal requirements. You must not:

• use insider information or confidential data to gain an unfair advantage
• engage in arbitrage betting that abuses differences in odds
• coordinate bets with others in ways that are intended to bypass limits or manipulate bonuses.

Admiral Shark may disclose suspicious betting patterns to regulators, sports governing bodies, or law enforcement where required or permitted by law.

Cancellation and voiding of bets

Once a bet has been accepted, you cannot cancel or amend it, unless a cash out or similar feature is offered and available for that specific market. Admiral Shark may void a bet in full or in part in the following cases:

• the bet is found to breach these terms or any sport-specific rules
• the event is invalid, cancelled, or declared void by the relevant authority
• a technical fault has caused odds or markets to be listed incorrectly.

Where a bet is voided, the stake or relevant portion of the stake will normally be returned to your account. Any related bonuses may be adjusted or cancelled in line with the applicable bonus terms.

These payment rules explain how deposits, withdrawals, and related transactions are handled for your account in the United Kingdom.

Deposits and account funding

You may fund your account using the payment methods made available in your cashier section, which may include:

• debit cards issued in the United Kingdom
• approved e-wallets and online payment services
• bank transfers or other locally accepted methods.

Admiral Shark may impose minimum and maximum deposit limits per transaction, per day, or over longer periods. Details of these limits will be presented in the cashier or during the payment process. Funds must originate from accounts or instruments held in your own name. Third-party payments are not permitted.

Deposits will normally be credited to your account immediately or within a reasonable timeframe stated in the cashier. Admiral Shark is not responsible for delays caused by your bank, payment provider, or external systems, provided it has processed the request in line with stated procedures.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals can be requested from the cashier area, subject to:

• successful completion of any verification checks
• compliance with anti-money laundering and fraud prevention rules
• satisfaction of any wagering requirements attached to bonuses.

Admiral Shark may require you to withdraw funds through the same method used for deposit, where feasible, to comply with legal and regulatory standards. Minimum and maximum withdrawal limits may apply and will be stated in the cashier.

Withdrawal requests will be processed within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with any timeframes notified in the cashier. Actual receipt of funds may depend on your bank or payment provider and is outside the direct control of Admiral Shark once funds have been released.

Fees and charges

Admiral Shark aims to disclose any applicable fees or charges before you confirm a transaction. In some cases, your bank or payment provider may charge separate fees, which are your responsibility. Admiral Shark is not liable for exchange rate differences or currency conversion charges applied by third-party providers.

Verification, KYC, and transaction checks

Before processing deposits or withdrawals, Admiral Shark may request:

• proof of identity (such as passport or driving licence)
• proof of address (such as a utility bill or bank statement)
• proof of ownership of payment methods used
• information or documents relating to your source of funds or source of wealth.

These checks are required for compliance with UK anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations. If you fail to provide satisfactory information, Admiral Shark may:

• delay or decline deposits and withdrawals
• place temporary limitations on your account
• close the account, subject to legal obligations and regulatory guidance.

Transaction restrictions and monitoring

Admiral Shark may:

• set limits on deposit or withdrawal amounts
• restrict certain payment methods based on your location, risk profile, or regulatory requirements
• delay or block transactions that appear unusual or suspicious.

Monitoring is carried out to meet legal duties and protect both the platform and users from fraud and misuse.

Cancellation and reversal of operations

Admiral Shark may cancel or reverse a deposit, withdrawal, or transfer where:

• a payment fails, is rejected, or is reversed by your bank or payment provider
• a transaction is linked to unauthorised activity, fraud, or breach of these terms
• an operational or technical error has affected the processing or crediting of funds.

If funds have been credited in error, Admiral Shark may remove the amount from your balance and, where funds have already been withdrawn, may seek reimbursement in line with applicable law. Any bets or bonuses placed using amounts that are later reversed may be voided or adjusted as necessary.

Admiral Shark is committed to promoting responsible gambling and supporting users in managing their betting behaviour in the United Kingdom.

Principles of responsible use

Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn regular income or recover previous losses. You should only place bets that you can afford to lose and monitor the time and money you spend on the services. If gambling stops being enjoyable or begins to affect your daily life, you should consider using the available control tools and seeking support.

Account tools and limits

To help you manage your betting activity, you may be offered tools such as:

• deposit limits (daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can add to your account)
• session limits or reality checks to help you track time spent
• loss limits or stake limits, where available, to manage potential exposure
• cooling-off periods allowing you to take a short break from gambling.

Details of available tools and how to apply them are provided in the responsible gambling section of the site or account settings. Some limits may only take effect at the next login or after a specified period.

Self-exclusion

If you believe you are at risk of developing gambling-related problems, you can request self-exclusion from the services for a defined period or permanently. During self-exclusion:

• access to your account will be blocked where technically feasible
• marketing communications from Admiral Shark to the contact details you provided should be stopped in line with regulatory requirements
• you must not attempt to open new accounts or circumvent the exclusion.

Admiral Shark may also encourage or apply restrictions where it has concerns about your gambling behaviour, in line with its regulatory duties.

Risk awareness and self-assessment

Information about the risks associated with gambling and practical tips for safe play is available in the responsible gambling area of the platform. You may also have access to self-assessment questionnaires to help you understand whether your betting habits are becoming harmful. These tools do not replace professional advice but can help you decide whether to seek further support.

Support organisations and help

If you are concerned about your gambling, or about someone close to you, you can contact independent organisations that provide confidential advice and support in the United Kingdom, such as:

• National Gambling Helpline (via GamCare)
• Gamblers Anonymous
• other charities and helplines listed in the responsible gambling section of the site.

These services can offer counselling, peer support, and practical strategies to manage or stop harmful gambling.

Admiral Shark operates in line with UK anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing legislation and guidance. These measures are designed to protect the platform and users from being used for illegal activity.

Legal obligations

As a provider of betting and gaming services, Admiral Shark must:

• identify and verify users
• monitor transactions and account behaviour
• maintain records of customer information and activity for legally required periods
• report suspicious activity to relevant authorities where required.

These obligations apply to all users in the United Kingdom and may affect how your account and transactions are handled.

Know Your Customer (KYC) checks

Admiral Shark may carry out checks at registration, before processing payments, or at any time later. You may be asked to provide:

• official identification documents
• proof of address
• proof of ownership for payment instruments used on the account
• information about your occupation, income, or source of funds.

Additional checks may be applied if your betting or payment activity changes significantly or reaches higher thresholds.

Transaction monitoring and suspicious activity

Admiral Shark monitors activity to detect patterns that may indicate money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or other illegal conduct. This monitoring may include:

• review of frequent deposits and withdrawals that do not align with normal betting behaviour
• analysis of multiple accounts that appear to be linked
• scrutiny of activity that is inconsistent with the information you have provided.

Where necessary, Admiral Shark may request further information or documents. If you do not co-operate or if concerns remain, Admiral Shark may take protective measures.

Consequences of breaches

If Admiral Shark reasonably believes that your account or transactions are connected to illegal activity or breach anti-money laundering requirements, it may:

• suspend or restrict your account
• delay, block, or refuse deposits and withdrawals
• freeze funds while investigations are carried out
• close your account in line with legal and regulatory obligations
• share relevant information with law enforcement, regulators, or other authorities.

These measures may be taken without prior notice where disclosure could prejudice an investigation or contravene legal duties.
