1 - GENERAL 

1. These general marketing and promotion rules (General Marketing and Promotion Rules) govern the various marketing and promotion offers. The General Marketing and Promotion Rules apply to the Player when they participate in promotions. 

2. The General Marketing and Promotion Rules should be read in conjunction with the General Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, General Rules for Sportsbook and Special Rules for Each Sport (Other Terms), and together they form the Agreement between STS and the Player. Players must ensure that they have read and understood the Other Terms and General Marketing and Promotion Rules (and the Specific T&Cs where applicable) before taking part in any promotion. In case of any discrepancy between the General Marketing and Promotion Rules and the Other Terms, the General Marketing and Promotion Rules shall prevail. 

3. Capitalised words in the General Marketing and Promotion Rules shall have the meaning set out in the General Terms and Conditions unless it is specifically defined herein. 

4. The General Marketing and Promotion Rules may be published in a number of languages for information purposes and ease of access. All versions will convey the same principles in different languages. Should there be any discrepancy between the Estonian version and the version in any other language, the Estonian version will prevail. 

5. STS may decide to offer promotions with different applying rules, including but not limited to different qualifying conditions, different wagering requirements or no wagering requirements at all, bonuses playable only on some games or with some games excluded (Specific T&Cs). Specific T&Cs will be available on the Website or sent to the Player by email or otherwise, and they shall form part of the General Marketing and Promotion Rules once accepted by the Player. Players need to familiarise themselves with all applicable rules before taking part in any promotion. In case of any differences between the General

Marketing and Promotion Rules and the Specific T&Cs, the Specific T&Cs will prevail. 

2 - STS MARKETING POLICY 

1. We offer our promotions in good faith to Players who use our Services for entertainment purposes. We reserve the right to cancel or remove the Player’s access to the Services, including participation in our promotions, in case of the suspected abuse of the promotional offer. Also, should we deem it necessary, we reserve the right to terminate the Agreement in such case with immediate effect. 

2. Promotions can only be claimed once per account, which shall mean no more than one promotion per user, IP address, computer device, family, residential address, telephone number, debit card and/or e-payment account, email address, and environment where computers are shared (university, fraternity, public library, workplace etc.) Evidence or reasonable suspicion that the bet or a number of bets were placed in contradiction to the Agreement will lead to the Player not qualifying for the promotion and we reserve the right to suspend the Player from further promotions or to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect. 

3. Abusive behaviour may be considered, but is not limited to, using software and/or opening multiple accounts in order to gain an unfair advantage on the promotion; equal, zero or low margin bets; placing bets in excess of the maximum stake allowed; wagering bonuses on excluded games; placing bets on the same event with a different outcome; collusion; manipulation of software, exploitation of loopholes or other technical forms of abuse or other behaviors, which amounts to deliberate cheating; masking an IP address or using a VPN. Syndicated account creation using multiple identities is also deemed to be abusive and fraudulent behaviour. 

4. In all cases of abuse and/or any fraudulent activity, we retain the right to void any winnings, confiscate all bonuses and to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect. 

5. If the Player wins an amount equal to two thousand five hundred Euros (2,500 EUR) or more, through the use of the Services, the Player may be asked to grant permission to STS to use the Player’s username, name, and/or portrait in all media as part of STS marketing and promotional needs, and for the Website, however, to do so will be at the Player’s discretion.

3 - STS BONUS POLICY 

1. STS may offer bonuses which will be credited into the Account. Bonus means any funds or equivalent credited to the Account. Bonus cannot be directly withdrawn or paid out and must be used for placing a bet on the Website. The bonus may be convertible to real money (and available for the withdrawal) subject to fulfilling all rules applicable to the promotion. 

2. Bonuses shall be used in accordance with General Marketing and Promotion Rules, but Specific T&Cs might also apply. Our offers may be used only once unless otherwise specified. The Player is not entitled to withdraw any bonus if they didn’t fulfill all the applicable terms. 

3. The bonus offer and all details regarding crediting will be available in the relevant section on the Website or communicated to the Player by email or otherwise. The bonus amount is determined by STS, and players do not have a general right to receive the bonus.

These generally include a Casino Bonus (extra direct funds to the Player’s Bonus Balance to be used on casino Services), Sportsbook Bonus (extra direct funds to the Player’s Bonus Balance to be used on Sportsbook Services), Free Spins (spins of a certain value given on a specific game or a collection of games) and Free Bets (sports bets of a specific value given on particular sports, competitions or markets). 

5. All types of bonuses are added to the Bonus Balance in the Account. If the Player has more than one bonus, the first bonus received becomes an 'active' bonus, and all other bonuses are 'pending’ and therefore, cannot be used.

When a bonus is offered with wagering requirements, the Specific T&Cs apply, and they will be available on the Website or communicated to the Player by email or otherwise. The Player needs to fulfil the wagering requirements before they can withdraw their bonus (i.e. bonus money cannot be converted into real money until the wagering requirement is met).

Customer Support. However, please be aware that if the bonus will be voided, all winnings associated with that bonus will be voided as well. 8. The Player can withdraw their own funds at any time.
