5.2.3 Blocked Online Account
You understand that VISTABET may Block your Online Account:
a. In case of your temporary abstention or temporary exclusion from the Games.
b. Following a prosecutor's order.
c. At the discretion of the HGC, if, from the data available to the Authority, there is a need to Block your Account to ensure the integrity of the Games and the observance of public order.
d. In VISTABET’s reasoned judgement, if, on the basis of the evidence, risk analysis, corporate policy and tools it implements, it identifies or has serious indications or suspicions that suspicious or unusual transactions are being or have been carried out or attempted to be carried out to violate the integrity of the Games. In this case, VISTABET must take the necessary actions in accordance with Law 4557/2018 (GG A' 139) and Anti-Money Laundering Regulation.
e. if you breach the terms of this Contract.
In any case, Blocking an Account is an extremely restrictive measure and should be imposed by VISTABET sparingly and for reasons that adequately justify the need to resort to this measure and not in a veiled or abusive manner.
Moreover, VISTABET would like to inform you that:
a. Your Participation in the Games and the deposit of amounts (deposit) in a Blocked Online Account is not allowed
b. There are no fees on Blocked Online Accounts.
c. The Block is lifted when the reasons for its imposition cease to exist.
d. If the "Block" has not been lifted within twenty four (24) months from the date it was applied, VISTABET will close the Online Account and terminate the contractual relationship with You.
e. In the event that during the imposition of a "Block" of a permanent nature on the Online Account and there are Participations that have not yet been settled, then their settlement will take place as follows: cancellation of unsettled participation and refund to the player’s Online Account of any remaining balance from the deposits.
f. In the event that you submit a withdrawal request during the imposition of the "Block", then the request will be treated as follows: VISTABET will pay you any remaining balance from your deposits. All participations not settled at the time of Blocking will be cancelled.
VISTABET decides to Block the Account based on objective, valid data and methodology and with sufficient justification. In any case, it shall block the Account if it receives an order to freeze it or special instructions from the HGC and/or the legally competent bodies and authorities.
Particular attention shall be paid by VISTABET when Blocking your Account, assuming its use not by you, but by third parties (account takeover), based on device or IP address detection tools, definition tools and evaluation of patterns of the gaming activity, submission of questions to the Player for identification of personal use of his Online Account, etc. or a combination of the above.
Any Participations using different access devices from different IP addresses do not prove that the Account has been used by a third party, but a clear indication can be evidenced especially when it appears that different devices are used within the same or short period of time from different geographical areas. To this end, VISTABET can determine whether or not the Account is being used by you by applying additional player authentication methods (e.g. Two Factor Authentication, Strong Customer Authentication - 2FA, SCA, etc.). Moreover, VISTABET may ask you to declare the devices you are using for your Participation in the Games and inform you that it will not accept transactions through devices that have not been declared.
Similarly, the differentiation of the patterns of the Gaming Activity is not a sufficient proof or a sufficient indication that your Online Account is being used by a third party. VISTABET must evaluate the degree of differentiation of a pattern, in combination with the individual elements and the particularities of each case, in order to be able to validly claim that your Account is being used or has been used by a third party. For example, the mere fact that a Player has decided to significantly increase the amount of his Participation without, however, this increase can be characterized as unusual in the common experience, or to choose a different type of Bet (e.g. "accumulator bet” instead of “single bet "or vice versa) and/or organization and/or sport and/or game, etc., do not sufficiently justify the imposition of a "Block", without at the same time VISTABET substantiating with the required accuracy, adequacy, completeness and justification, its claim that your Account is being used or has been used by a third party.
5.2.4 Closed Online Account
VISTABET will close your Account and put it in a "Closed" state, according to the decision of the Minister of Finance number 79835 EX 2020 / 24.7.2020 (GG B' 3265) in the following cases:

c. Immediately upon submission of your request for an indefinite period of exclusion from the Games.
d. If it has been found or if there are valid, reasoned and strong indications that part or all of the information provided by you for the creation of your Online Account is untrue or inaccurate.
e. If twelve (12) months have passed since your Account became Inactive.
f. If twenty-four (24) months have passed since the Account was “Blocked”.
g. If you breach this Contract or if VISTABET becomes aware of any suspected fraud, collusion or unlawful and improper activity.

5.3.1 Limits set by the Player (You):
The limits set by You, in accordance with the provisions of the decision of the Minister of Finance with number 79835 EX 2020/24.7.2020 (GG B' 3265) and this Contract, are the following:
a. monetary limit, in terms of the maximum deposit amount (deposit limit)
b. monetary limit, in terms of the maximum amount of loss (loss limit), and
c. time limit, in terms of the maximum participation time (time limit) in Other Online Games and in virtual events Betting, the result of which is extracted by the use of a random number generator.
You comprehend the following regarding the functionality and expediency of setting the above limits:
a. That you are obliged to set the above limits, according to the number 79835 EX 2020/24.7.2020 decision of the Minister of Finance (GG B' 3265) and the Principles of Responsible Gaming.
b. That you have to set the limits, guided by a prudent playing behavior commensurate with your abilities and being aware of the dangers that your involvement with the Games entails.
c. That you can modify the above limits, after the period for which they were set has elapsed, with the exception of the modification of existing limits to be stricter, which applies immediately.
d. That you will be notified with an information message from VISTABET as soon as you exceed 80% of the relevant limit, according to the provisions of the decision of the Minister of Finance number 79835 EX 2020/24.7.2020 (GG B' 3265).
e. That in the event of termination of Your Participation due to the completion of Your maximum time limit, You may not Participate in the Games for the period remaining until the expiry time of the limit.
f. That in the event that with your forthcoming Participation, you will exceed the limit of the maximum amount of loss (loss limit), you are allowed to continue your Participation provided that, with the placement in which you will proceed, you will not exceed the maximum loss limit set.
g. That the above time limit of your maximum participation time is set at day level from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 of the same calendar day, or week, from Sunday to Saturday, or month, from the first to the last day of the month.
h. That your Participation time counts as that of the active Participation in Other Online Games, including the virtual events, the result of which is derived using a random number generator. The time spent on the Website and/or connection to the Special software (client software) of VISTABET without active participation in the Games (e.g. placing bets, "betting", etc.) is not counted towards the maximum participation time limit.
You, already by registering and accepting this Contract, are obliged, before you even Participate in the Games, to set for each limit a specific value of your choice. The “no limit” preference is not allowed to be granted. VISTABET ensures that you can enter the desired value for each limit. In the event that default values are used, the scale of these values is structured in such a way for you to have as many options as possible and to make sure that the system for setting Limits is usable and functional. In the event that you wish to set a value not included in the options, VISTABET shall inform You of the value that is available and is closest to the desired one. If a rounding of values is required, it is performed to the nearest integer, according to the condition i≤0.4, i≥0.5, where (i) the digits of the units, tens, hundreds or thousands for which rounding is required.
With regard to the modification of a limit, it takes place after the period for which the specific limit has been set, unless it is a modification to the stricter one, which applies immediately. Thus, you understand, for example, that if you set a limit on a monthly basis and then modify it, the modification will take effect on the 1st day of the month following the one in which you modified that limit, unless it is a modification to a stricter value, whereupon it applies immediately. Similarly, if you set a limit on a daily or weekly basis and then modify it, the modification will apply, respectively, from the next day on which you have modified that limit or from the 1st day of the week following that which you have modified it, unless it is a modification to a stricter value, in which case it applies immediately.

You understand that this specific time limit operates, is calculated and applied independently of the time limit of the maximum participation time limit and that these two limits should not be confused with each other.
