Patrick Spins General Terms and Conditions of Service
Preliminary Statements and Document Scope
Welcome to Patrick Spins. These General Terms and Conditions of Service, hereafter referred to as the ‘Terms’, constitute a legally binding agreement between you, the end-user (referred to as ‘you’, ‘your’, or ‘the Player’), and the operators of this website (referred to as ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’, or ‘the Company’). This document, in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and any specific rules applicable to individual games, promotions, or tournaments, governs your use of all gaming and gambling services provided through the patrickspinsy.com website and any associated platforms. It is imperative that you read these Terms in their entirety before registering an account or utilising any of our services. Your continued access and use of our platform signify your complete understanding and unequivocal acceptance of the contractual relationship established herein. These Terms supersede any prior agreements, representations, or understandings between the parties, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter.
Binding Affirmation of Agreement
By ticking the box indicating your acceptance during the registration process, and by subsequently using any part of our service, you are confirming that you have read, understood, and consented to be bound by these Terms without reservation. You further acknowledge that these Terms are subject to change, and while we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of significant amendments, it remains your sole responsibility to review this document periodically. The date of the last revision will always be displayed, and your continued use of the services following any such modifications will be deemed as your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, or any future amendments, you must immediately cease using the services and close your account. Failure to adhere to these provisions may result in the suspension or termination of your account and forfeiture of any associated funds, subject to regulatory requirements.
User Suitability and Age Confirmation Protocols
Participation in the gambling services offered by Patrick Spins is strictly limited to individuals who have attained the legal age of majority for gambling in their jurisdiction of residence. For users within the United Kingdom, this is eighteen (18) years of age. It is a criminal offence for any person under this age to participate in gambling, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy in this regard. To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, we are required to perform comprehensive age and identity verification checks on all customers. These checks may involve requesting official identification documents and utilising third-party verification services. You must provide accurate and truthful information during this process. Should we be unable to satisfactorily verify your age and identity, your account will be suspended, and access to our services will be denied until such verification is completed. Any accounts found to be operated by an underage individual will be closed immediately, and all deposits will be returned, while any winnings will be forfeited.
Your Player Account and Responsibilities
To access our real-money gaming services, you must register a personal player account. You are permitted to open and operate only one account with us. Should we identify that a single individual holds multiple accounts, we reserve the right to close any or all of these duplicate accounts, voiding any transactions and winnings associated with them. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials, including your username and password. You must not disclose this information to any third party. All activities and transactions conducted through your account will be considered valid and authorised by you, and you accept full responsibility for any consequences arising from unauthorised access if it results from your own negligence. It is your duty to ensure that all personal details provided during registration, and subsequently held on your account, remain current and accurate. You can update your information through your account settings or by contacting our support team for assistance.
Regulation of Financial Transactions
All financial transactions, including deposits into and withdrawals from your player account, are processed through secure, third-party payment gateways. By depositing funds, you affirm that the funds are not derived from any illicit or criminal activities and that you are the legal and rightful owner of the payment method used. We are required by anti-money laundering regulations to conduct due diligence, which may include ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) checks and requests for documentation to verify your identity and the source of your funds before processing withdrawals. We reserve the right to decline any deposit or withdrawal request if we suspect fraudulent activity or a breach of these Terms. Player funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from company operational funds, in accordance with applicable regulatory standards. Please be aware that transaction processing times can vary depending on the payment method and the completion of any necessary verification checks. You are responsible for any charges or fees that may be imposed by your financial institution or payment provider in connection with these transactions.
Terms Governing Promotions and Bonus Credits
From time to time, Patrick Spins may offer promotional bonuses, free spins, or other incentives. Each promotional offer is governed by its own set of specific terms and conditions, which will be made available to you at the time of the offer. These specific terms, which include but are not limited to wagering requirements, time limitations, and game restrictions, are supplementary to these main Terms. It is your responsibility to read and understand the rules of each bonus before you opt-in to participate. Bonuses are generally limited to one per person, household, or IP address, and any attempt to abuse the bonus system by creating multiple accounts or employing other fraudulent strategies will result in the forfeiture of the bonus and any winnings derived from it. We reserve the right to amend, suspend, or cancel any promotion at our discretion, without prior notice, although we will honour any commitments already made to players who have qualified for a promotion. The Company’s decisions regarding all promotional matters are final and not subject to appeal.
Commitment to Fair Play and Game Legitimacy
We are committed to providing a fair and transparent gaming environment. The outcomes of our virtual games are determined by a certified and audited Random Number Generator (RNG), which ensures that results are unpredictable and not subject to manipulation. The software providers we partner with are reputable, licensed entities that undergo regular, independent testing to certify the fairness and integrity of their products. As a player, you agree to participate in the games fairly and without engaging in any form of cheating, collusion, or manipulation. This includes a strict prohibition on the use of external player assistance tools, artificial intelligence, or software bots. We employ sophisticated monitoring systems to detect and prevent such fraudulent activities. Any player found to be engaging in behaviour that compromises the integrity of the games will have their account terminated immediately, and we may take further legal action and inform relevant authorities.
Framework for Player Protection and Responsible Gambling
Patrick Spins is dedicated to promoting a culture of responsible gambling and providing a safe environment for our players. We recognise that gambling can be addictive for a minority of individuals and offer a range of tools and resources to help you maintain control over your gaming activity. These tools include options to set personal limits on deposits, wagers, and losses, as well as session time reminders and the ability to take a temporary ‘time-out’ or enter a period of long-term self-exclusion. We provide readily accessible links to professional support organisations that offer confidential advice and assistance for anyone affected by problem gambling. It is our firm belief that gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity, and we encourage you to play responsibly, stay within your budget, and never chase losses. Our customer support team is trained to provide guidance on our responsible gambling features and to direct you to further help if needed.

Data Privacy, Cookies, and Information Management
Protecting your personal information is of paramount importance to us. We collect and process your personal data in strict accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our comprehensive Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms, details the types of data we collect, the purposes for which it is used, and your rights as a data subject.

Account Suspension, Termination, and Closure Procedures
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or permanently close your player account at any time for any reason we deem appropriate, particularly in cases of a suspected or confirmed breach of these Terms. In the event of account termination due to a violation, we may, subject to regulatory guidance, retain any balance in your account as a remedy for the breach. We will provide you with notice of such action unless circumstances make prior notification unfeasible. You have the right to close your account at any time by contacting our customer support team via the channels listed on patrickspinsy.com. Upon receiving a closure request, we will process it in a timely manner, and any outstanding withdrawable balance, after the deduction of any applicable fees or charges, will be returned to you in accordance with our withdrawal procedures. Please note that certain personal information may need to be retained for a specific period after account closure to comply with our legal and regulatory record-keeping obligations.
Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and Complaints
These Terms and the entire contractual relationship between you and the Company shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms. We are committed to providing a high-quality service and aim to resolve any issues promptly and fairly. Should you have a complaint, you must first follow our internal complaints procedure by contacting our customer support team with the full details of your issue. We will endeavour to resolve the matter to your satisfaction. If, after completing the internal procedure, you feel your complaint has not been resolved, you have the right to refer the dispute to a designated Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider, whose services are provided free of charge. The decision of the ADR provider will be considered binding on both parties.
