- Password and security: You are solely responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. You must:
- Keep your username and password strictly confidential.
- Not share your Account with any third party.
- Notify the Operator immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your Account.

- Use the Services if you are located in a Restricted Jurisdiction at the time of play.

Betting & Gameplay Rules
General Rules for Placing Bets
- Availability of Games: The Operator determines, at its sole discretion, which Games are offered on palaceofchance-ca.com, their rules, and whether specific Games are made available to Canadian players. Game rules may be provided in-game or via separate rule pages and form part of these Terms.
- Placing a Bet: A Bet is deemed placed when it is accepted by the Operator's servers and appears in your game history. Transmission delays or display issues on your device do not affect the time at which a Bet is recorded on the Operator's systems.
- Minimum and maximum stakes: Each Game may have its own minimum and maximum stake limits, which are displayed within the Game interface. The Operator may adjust these limits at any time without prior notice, but such changes will not affect Bets already accepted.
- Currency: Bets are placed and settled in the currency shown in your Account (typically CAD or another clearly displayed account currency). Currency conversions, if applicable, may be performed by payment processors or your financial institution, and you bear any associated costs.
Modification and Cancellation of Bets
- Irreversibility of confirmed Bets: Once a Bet has been confirmed and accepted by the Operator's systems, you may not modify or cancel it. It is your responsibility to review your Bet carefully before confirming.
- Misstakes and obvious errors: In the event of an obvious error (e.g., manifestly incorrect odds, malfunctioning Game, technical glitch), the Operator reserves the right to:
- Void the affected Bet(s) and return the stake(s); or
- Adjust the settlement to reflect the correct market or Game configuration as would reasonably have been offered absent the error.
- Interrupted play: If your connection is lost during a Game but the Bet has already been accepted, the result will be determined by the Game's servers and reflected in your balance. You can usually review completed game rounds in your game history.
Rules of Conduct and Fair Play
- Anti-fraud and collusion: You agree not to engage in:
- Collusion with other players.
- Use of bots, automated tools, or software that manipulates gameplay.
- Exploitation of bugs, loopholes, or Game malfunctions.
- Money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other criminal activity via the Services.
- Live casino and chat behaviour: Where live dealer Games or chat functions are available, you must:
- Refrain from insults, harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory language toward dealers, staff, or other players.
- Not promote illegal activities, other gambling sites, or products and services unrelated to Palace Of Chance.
- Not share personal contact details or solicit personal information from others.
- Game results and fairness: Game outcomes are determined by random number generators (RNGs) or by physical equipment in live Games. While the Operator historically referenced Curaçao eGaming license numbers 1668/JAZ and 365/JAZ (unverified as of 2026), it seeks to maintain fair and transparent gaming practices. However, no representation is made that the Services are certified by a Canadian authority.
Bonus Terms
General Bonus Conditions
- Promotional nature: All Bonuses and promotions on palaceofchance-ca.com are discretionary and may be offered, changed, or withdrawn at any time. A Bonus may be subject to separate, promotion-specific terms, which apply in addition to these Terms.
- Eligibility: Bonuses are generally limited to one per Player, household, IP address, payment method, device, and shared environment (e.g., dormitory, workplace). The Operator may refuse or revoke a Bonus if it reasonably suspects abuse or breach of these conditions.
- Activation: To activate a Bonus, you may be required to:
- Enter a bonus code during deposit; and/or
- Opt-in through a promotion page; and/or
- Confirm participation via email or in-account message.
Wagering Requirements and Timeframes
- Standard wagering: Unless otherwise stated, Bonuses and associated winnings are subject to a wagering requirement, commonly expressed as a multiple (for example, 30x - 60x) of the Bonus amount and/or deposit amount. The exact multiple and applicable funds are stated in the specific promotion.
- Completion of wagering: You must meet the full wagering requirement within the specified timeframe (for example, within 30 days from Bonus credit, or a shorter period for certain offers). If the timeframe expires before wagering is completed:
- The remaining Bonus balance will be forfeited; and
- The Operator may also remove any winnings generated from that Bonus, crediting back your remaining real-money balance.
- Contribution of different Games: Different Games may contribute differently to wagering requirements. For example:
- Most slots: 100% contribution.
- Table games, video poker, live casino, and low-risk bets: 0% - 20% contribution or fully excluded.
Prohibited Games and Bonus Abuse
- Prohibited play patterns: The following activities are considered Bonus abuse and may result in removal of Bonuses, confiscation of winnings, and closure of your Account:
- Placing single or multiple Bets covering a high percentage of outcomes (e.g., betting on red and black simultaneously in roulette) with Bonus funds.
- Using Bonus funds to progress through a Game (e.g., building up feature rounds or bonus rounds) and then switching to real-money play to exploit the accumulated value.
- Using multiple Accounts or coordinated group play to secure repeated Bonuses or circumvent restrictions.
- Maximum bet with Bonus funds: A maximum permissible Bet per spin or game round while wagering a Bonus may be imposed (for example, not exceeding a defined amount in CAD). Bets placed above this limit may not count towards wagering and may lead to forfeiture of the Bonus and associated winnings.
- Combining promotions: Unless explicitly allowed:
- You may not combine multiple active Bonuses or promotions on the same deposit or set of Bets.
