a) First, real money (i.e. cash) funds in the Eligible Players’ Account until these funds are exhausted;
b) Then, bonus funds in the Eligible Players’ Account.
8.6 Winnings from a wager will go back to the balance from which the Eligible Player placed the wager with. E.g. winnings from real money wagers will go back to the real money balance. Winnings from wagers with bonus funds will go back to the bonus balance. When placing a wager with a mix of real money and bonus funds, the winnings will be split between the real money and bonus balance on a pro-rata basis depending on the amount each balance contributed to the wager.
8.7 Unless stated otherwise in the Specific Promotional Terms of a Promotion, winnings received from a bonus will be restricted and will not be withdrawable until the wagering requirement has been met.

- Payment of bonuses
9.1 Subject to Clause 8.1 above, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Specific Promotional Terms, all real money bonuses will be paid into the Accounts of Qualifying Players within seven (7) days of entry into the relevant Promotion.
9.2 Your use of any real money bonuses is subject to Our review for irregular playing patterns. To ensure fair gaming and the proper use of bonuses, We consider low margin betting, equal betting, zero risk bets or hedge betting to be irregular gaming when deployed to exploit bonuses. Further examples of irregular playing patterns also include, but are not limited to: (i) placing single or multiple bets of a value of fifty percent or more of the bonus on any single game , individual hand, or round, building a balance and significantly changing play patterns (bet size, game types, bet structures etc) in order to meet the bonus release requirement; (ii) placing large bets which result in a substantial gain followed by a drop in bet size equal to or more than seventy five percent of the previous average bet size until the bonus release requirements have been met; (iii) if We have good grounds to suspect that you have sought only to create unreasonable advantage using a bonus offered by Us. In the event that We deem that an irregular playing pattern has taken place, We reserve the right to prevent you from withdrawing Account funds and/or withhold any of Your winnings derived from Your use of the bonus.
9.3 In the event that more than one real money bonus or any excess payment is accidentally paid to a Qualifying Player, We reserve the right, without prejudice to any other rights under the Rules, to seek the return of the amount of any additional real money bonus or payment from that player's Account.

We reserve the right, at any time, to substitute any Prize with one or more prizes (other than a cash alternative) of substantially equivalent value. We may do this, in particular, if it is impractical or unduly costly to deliver a particular Prize to the Winner's geographical location.

In the case of a non-cash Prize, We will make all reasonable attempts to contact the Winner using his/her Account contact details, but if We have not been able to make contact with the Winner within 30 days of the Prize being won, We reserve the right to draw another Winner in place of the original Winner or to forfeit the Prize altogether without liability to the Winner.
10.4 We reserve the right not to award a Prize or to seek the return of any Prize awarded in the event that the Winner is not entitled to receive such Prize in accordance with applicable law (provided always that the Winner is solely responsible for ensuring that s/he is entitled to receive any Prize) or if We have cause to disqualify the Winner in accordance with section 6.3.
10.5 If You are competing in a contest, league or tournament and are unable, for any reason whatsoever, or choose not to progress to the next round after qualifying to do so, You will forfeit Your place and will not be eligible to receive any Prize to be awarded for the next or any subsequent round or the final Prize.
