Terms and Conditions

The Parties and these terms and conditions

The parties to this agreement are:

You, the player; and
Ålands Penningautomatförening, the gambling provider, ("PAF").

Recital

You wish to gamble using gambling services provided by PAF, who in turn procure certain software and other ancillary services from 3G Scene Ltd for the purposes of enabling PAF to provide gambling services. Such services are provided subject to the following terms and conditions.

PAF is a Finland-based gaming-for-welfare association that organises the games. Gaming means, unless otherwise specifically set out, Aces Royal™ gaming services on the internet using 3G Scene Ltd software, whether accessed from a computer or mobile phone.

The gaming is administered on the Åland Islands, which form an autonomous province of Finland. Each game is received, approved and conducted on the Åland Islands. All play assumes that the player has been registered and approved as a player at PAF.FI and deposited funds intended for gaming on PAF.FI's account by and on behalf of the player. These terms and conditions form the basis for the agreement between PAF.FI and the player for the purposes of gaming.

Rights and obligations may not be transferred, unless otherwise explicitly stipulated in this agreement. Each time a gaming customer logs into an Aces Royal™ game with the player's personal nickname and password, the player therewith confirms acceptance of all terms and conditions in this agreement at that time and all general gaming as well as game specific rules set out on www.aces-royal.com from time to time.

The channels (usually cellular network operators) that promote Aces Royal™ and the gambling service provider and such parties as are selected by the above for audit purposes are allowed to and do audit all Aces Royal™ systems from time to time as agreed by the parties. 3G Scene Ltd makes best efforts at all times to maintain high systems assurance and compliance with applicable legislation, including but not limited to Random Number Generator (RNG) verification.

3.2.19.6 Security, disrepute or other reason deemed reasonable by 3G Scene Ltd or PAF.FI.
3.2.20 the player will not use the gambling service for money laundering related purposes. Money laundering is a term usually used to describe the ways in which criminals process illegal or "dirty" money derived from the proceeds of any illegal activity through a succession of transfers and deals until the source of the illegally acquired funds is obscured and the money takes on the appearance of legitimate or "clean" funds or assets. The UK Money Laundering Regulations 2003 brought casinos into the regulated sector. Like other parts of the regulated sector, casinos are required to put in place procedures to identify their customers, which PAF has done. Casinos are also required to obtain satisfactory evidence of identity of their customers before allowing them to use the casino's gaming facilities. Again, this has been implemented by PAF. Typically, the money launderer makes frequent high-stake bets at very low odds, resulting in minimal profit or an overall loss. Due to this and for responsible gambling reasons, Aces Royal™ does not accept high stakes. The Gambling Commission has the right to access UK player records at Aces Royal™ to verify the above. If PAF or 3G Scene Ltd at their sole discretion judge that a player is responsible for money laundering, then PAF has the right to suspend the player's account for a period of time set out by PAF, and to confiscate related funds if the player cannot convince PAF that the player has acted legally and in good faith as set out by PAF.
