Modification of Terms

Smash reserves the rights to update or amend these terms at any time. Users will be notified of material changes through the platform or via registered contact details. Continued use of the platform following such notification constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Limitation of Liability

All bets placed on the Smash platform are subject to the following regulations. Users are advised to read these rules in full before placing any wager.

Eligibility for Betting

To place a bet on the platform, users must:

• Hold a fully verified and active account;
• Be at least 18 years of age;
• Have sufficient available funds in their account balance;
• Be located in a jurisdiction where the relevant betting activity is legally permitted.

Bet Acceptance

Smash reserves the rights to accept, decline, or limit any bet at its discretion. A bet is only confirmed once the platform issues an official confirmation to the user. Any bet placed after a sporting event has commenced may be accepted or declined according to the applicable event rules.

Betting Limits

Minimum and maximum bet amounts are defined per market and event type. These limits may vary depending on:

• The type of sport or event selected;
• The specific odds associated with the selection;
• Any account-level restrictions applied by Smash.

Users should review individual market conditions prior to placing bets.

Calculation of Winnings

All winnings are calculated by multiplying the accepted stake by the confirmed odds at the time the bet was placed. In the event of a dispute regarding odds, the platform records serve as the authoritative reference.

Cancellation and Void Bets

Bets may be voided or cancelled in the following circumstances:

• The relevant event is cancelled, postponed, or abandoned;
• An event result cannot be verified from an official source;
• Erroneous odds were applied due to a technical error.

In all void cases, the original stake is returned to the user's account.

Betting Restrictions

Smash may impose betting restrictions on individual accounts where irregular or potentially fraudulent activity is identified. Such restrictions may include reduced maximum bet amounts or temporary suspension of betting privileges pending review.

The following section outlines the procedures and requirements governing all financial transactions on the Smash platform in the United Kingdom.

Deposits

Users may fund their accounts using payment methods accepted by the platform. All deposits must originate from accounts or cards held in the user’s own name. The minimum deposit amount is defined per payment method and displayed at the point of transaction.

Available deposit methods may include:

• Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard);
• Bank transfers;
• Selected electronic payment methods.

Credit card transactions for gambling purposes are not permitted in the United Kingdom in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Withdrawals

Withdrawal requests are processed to the same payment method used for the most recent deposit, where technically possible. Users should be aware of the following:

• Withdrawals are subject to identity verification prior to processing;
• The minimum and maximum withdrawal limits vary by payment method;
• Processing timeframes depend on the selected method and may range from standard business hours to several working days;
• Withdrawals to debit cards are typically processed within one to five business days.

Fees

Smash does not charge fees on standard deposits or withdrawals. However, third-party payment providers may apply their own charges. Users are advised to confirm applicable fees with their payment provider.

Identity Verification and KYC

In compliance with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all users are required to complete identity verification before withdrawals are authorised. This process may require submission of:

• Government-issued photo identification;
• Proof of address dated within the last three months;
• Proof of the payment method used.

Failure to provide the requested documentation may result in delays or suspension of withdrawal requests.

Transaction Restrictions

Smash reserves the rights to refuse or delay any transaction where:

• Verification requirements have not been fulfilled;
• Suspicious or irregular activity has been identified;
• The transaction conflicts with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

Cancellation of Transactions

Deposit transactions cannot be reversed once funds have been credited to the user’s account. Withdrawal requests may be cancelled by the user prior to processing, subject to platform-specific procedures.

Smash is committed to maintaining a safe and controlled environment for all users. The platform supports responsible gambling practices and provides a range of tools to assist users in managing their betting behaviour.

Available Management Tools

Users have access to the following account controls:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount deposited into the account;
• Loss limits: Define the maximum amount that can be lost within a specified period;
• Session time limits: Restrict the duration of individual gambling sessions;
• Reality checks: Receive periodic notifications displaying time and spending during an active session;
• Self-exclusion: Request a temporary or permanent exclusion from the platform.

These tools can typically be accessed through the account settings section. Increases to limit levels may be subject to a cooling-off period before taking effect.

Self-Exclusion

Users who wish to take a break from gambling may request self-exclusion directly through the platform or by contacting customer support. Self-exclusion periods range from a minimum of six weeks to permanent exclusion. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed until the period has elapsed.

In the United Kingdom, users may also register with the national self-exclusion scheme, GamStop, which applies the exclusion across all UK licensed operators simultaneously.

Support Organisations

Users seeking support with gambling-related concerns are encouraged to contact the following organisations:

• GamCare: Provides free information, support, and counselling for individuals affected by gambling (gamcare.org.uk);
• Gambling Therapy: Offers online support and resources for users across the UK;
• BeGambleAware: A national charity offering guidance and treatment referrals (begambleaware.org);
• GamStop: National self-exclusion scheme for UK residents (gamstop.co.uk).

These services are independent of Smash and are available free of charge.

Smash maintains a strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy in accordance with the UK Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, and the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017. These legal obligations apply to all users of the platform.

Legal Obligations

Smash is required by law to:

• Verify the identity of all users before allowing account activity;
• Monitor transactions for suspicious or unusual patterns;
• Report suspicious activity to the relevant UK authorities, including the National Crime Agency (NCA), where required;
• Retain records of all transactions and verification documents for the period prescribed by law.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

All users must complete identity verification as a condition of account use. The KYC process requires submission of:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID (passport or driving licence);
• Proof of residential address;
• Documentation confirming the source of funds, where applicable.

Enhanced due diligence may be applied for high-value transactions or accounts flagged for additional review.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform employs automated monitoring systems to identify activity that may indicate money laundering or the financing of terrorism. Criteria used in monitoring include:

• Unusually large or frequent deposits without corresponding betting activity;
• Requests to withdraw funds shortly after deposit without significant engagement;
• Use of multiple payment methods or accounts by the same individual.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Where a user’s account activity is found to be in breach of AML obligations, Smash reserves the rights to:

• Restrict or suspend account access;
• Freeze funds pending investigation;
• Permanently close the account;
• Report the activity to the appropriate legal and regulatory authorities.

Cooperation with any investigation initiated by Smash or external authorities is a condition of account use.
