Rules and Regulations

This page summarises the Ice Casino Terms and Conditions for readers in Ireland. Under clause 2.1, icecasino.com is owned and operated by Whitebox B.V. of Curaçao, which holds Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence OGL/2024/822/0338. Opening an account or using the site means accepting the T&C together with the privacy policy, the bonus terms and the game rules. The English text prevails over any translation, and the wording published on the official site is the binding version.

General Terms

Acceptance of terms

  • Creating an account or using any part of the website means agreeing to the T&C, the privacy policy, the promotion terms and the game rules (clause 1.1).
  • Anyone who does not accept them should not open an account or continue to use the site.

Eligibility

  • Players must be 18 or the legal gambling age where they live, whichever is higher; proof of age can be requested at any stage (4.1).
  • Clause 4.4 bars players located or domiciled in a list of countries that includes the United Kingdom, the USA, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Australia. Ireland is not on that list.
  • The operator gives no legal advice on whether online gambling is allowed where a player lives; checking that is the player’s responsibility (4.2), as is reporting any taxable winnings (4.5).
  • A self-excluded player cannot deposit or bet while the exclusion lasts, under the responsible gaming policy.

One account and fair use

  • Only one account per person is allowed; duplicate accounts can be closed, their transactions voided and winnings forfeited (5.5). Bonuses are limited to one per person, household, phone number, device and IP address.
  • Registration details must be accurate and kept up to date (5.3).
  • Exploiting bugs, using automated players, colluding with other players and masking an IP address or location are banned (11.1, 12.7).
  • Accounts cannot be sold or transferred, and losing on purpose to pass money to another player is prohibited (12.6).

Changes to these terms

  • The operator may change the terms for legal, commercial or customer-service reasons and publishes each new version with its effective date on the website (3.1).
  • Continued use after the effective date counts as acceptance; anyone who disagrees can close the account (3.2).

Content and intellectual property

  • Website content is protected by copyright and is owned by the operator or used under licence from third parties; downloads are for personal, non-commercial use only, and the trademarks and logos may not be reproduced (19.1, 19.3).

Liability and service availability

  • The operator is not liable for faults caused by the player’s own equipment or internet provider (15.1) or for events outside its reasonable control, such as DDoS attacks (25.1).
  • Winnings paid by mistake must be returned (16.3), and the server’s records of results and balances are final (22.4).
  • Payments are final and no refunds are issued; if a system failure stops play, the remaining balance can be withdrawn in the usual way (16.6).

Governing law, complaints and disputes

  • The terms are governed by the laws of Curaçao, and the courts of Curaçao have exclusive jurisdiction (28.1).
  • A complaint goes first to customer support (22.1). The separate complaints policy asks for disputes within 7 business days of the issue, sent to the complaints address, and promises a result within 30 business days.
  • Claims older than 12 calendar months are time-barred (22.3), and game-round problems must be reported within 10 days (15.2).
  • If the player is still dissatisfied after two months, the complaints policy points to an independent Alternative Dispute Resolution service at [email protected].

General Betting Rules

Who may place bets

  • Sports bets are accepted only from adults aged 18+ (or the higher local age of majority) who agree to the sports rules; athletes, coaches, referees and people linked to other betting companies are excluded.
  • Bets can only be placed with the credit held in the account (T&C 10.4).

Bet acceptance and settlement

  • A bet counts only once the system confirms it; after acceptance it cannot be changed or cancelled, and connection failures are no reason for cancellation.
  • Pre-match bets are taken before the start: a pre-match bet placed after the start is settled at odds of 1, and a bet on an event whose result is already known is void.
  • Live bets are settled from official sources right after the event, and outcomes already decided stand if a match is interrupted.
  • Events postponed for more than 48 hours, or stopped without an official result, are generally settled at odds of 1, which returns the stake.

Odds, stakes and limits

  • Odds and lines can change at any time, but accepted bets keep the terms shown at acceptance; live odds can move between selection and acceptance.
  • Minimum and maximum stakes are set per event and bet type and can change without notice; the operator can cap stakes for individual events or accounts.
  • Placing several identical bets on the same match to get around limits breaks the rules.

Calculation of returns

  • A single pays the stake multiplied by the odds; a multiple pays the stake multiplied by the odds of all selections and loses if any selection loses.
  • A system bet is a set of equal multiples, each paid separately.
  • Selections from the same match cannot be combined in multiples or systems; such bets are refunded.
  • Handicap and total bets that land exactly on the line are settled at odds of 1.

Errors, disputes and conduct

  • The operator is not responsible for obvious errors in displayed odds, results or start times, and wrongly settled bets are re-settled.
  • Settlement disputes are accepted by support within 30 days of the end of the event; claims on live bets within 24 hours of the event start.
  • Automated robot betting leads to a blocked account.

Bonuses and bets

  • The real balance is used first; bonus money is used only once the real balance reaches zero.
  • With an active bonus, only one bet per market of the same event is allowed, and the maximum stake with sports bonus money is €50.
  • Sports bonuses must be wagered within 30 days unless the promotion says otherwise.

Payment Rules

Deposits

  • Real-money play requires a deposit. The official site names Visa, Mastercard and Neteller among its cashier methods; the exact list depends on the country.
  • Deposits must come from an account or card in the player’s own name; third-party payments and cash are refused (8.3, 8.6).
  • A chargeback or reversed payment leads to account closure (8.2.2), and a payment cannot be cancelled once “Pay” is clicked (9.2).
  • Payments are managed by T&C Whitebox CY Limited of Cyprus as agent of Whitebox B.V. (2.1); the balance is not a bank account and earns no interest (8.9).

Withdrawals

  • A withdrawal needs cleared deposits, completed checks, a full profile and the same method as the deposit (8.10, 8.11); above USD 1,000 an ID document is required.
  • After KYC: up to €499 within 5 minutes to 12 hours (no more than 2 working days), €500–€4,999 within 5 minutes to 48 hours (no more than 5 working days), €5,000–€29,999 within 30 working days, €30,000 or more on individual terms (8.13–8.16).
  • If pending requests, the balance and past withdrawals together reach 20 times total deposits, withdrawals can be limited to €5,000 per 30 days (8.17).

Verification (KYC/AML)

  • Checks are due at whichever comes first: 30 days after the first deposit, €2,000 in total deposits or the first withdrawal (KYC policy).
  • Large deposits can trigger a source-of-funds request (6.6), and edited, AI-generated or forged documents are treated as fraud (6.7).

Fees and investigations

  • A fee covering costs can apply to funds withdrawn without being played (8.12), and where turnover is “2 (two) times less” than the deposit, 20% of the withdrawal can be withheld to cover payment costs (8.11.6).
  • Withdrawals can be restricted during checks (6.3); for fraudulent payments, including stolen cards, the operator can block the account, reverse payouts and recover winnings (8.7).

Responsible Gambling

Principles

  • The terms describe gambling as a pastime, not a way to earn money, and suggest keeping track of daily time and spend (30.1); only players aged 18+ are accepted (32.1).

Player control tools

  • Deposit limit and loss limit for a chosen period, set through live support (31.1); a lower limit applies as soon as practicable, a higher one only after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
  • Self-exclusion for a set period or permanently: request it in live chat, then send the request from the registered e-mail address; it applies once support confirms it (30.2).
  • During self-exclusion, deposits and bets are blocked, but cleared balances can be withdrawn.
  • Marketing messages can be switched off, as the privacy policy lets players opt out of communications.

Operator measures

  • The operator may exclude a player who shows signs of problem gambling, after pointing them to the responsible gaming tools, and must exclude anyone found to be under 18.

Anti-Money Laundering

Legal obligations

  • Ice Casino’s published AML and KYC policy bans using the service for money laundering, terrorist financing or sanctions breaches and applies risk-based due diligence. Players confirm that the money they deposit is their own and lawful (T&C 6.1.2, 8.2.1).

Know Your Customer (KYC)

  • Checks cover identity, screening against sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists, and the country of residence; typical documents are an ID, a payment card photo, a photo holding the document and proof of address.
  • Documents are reviewed within 24 hours, and withdrawals stay blocked until approval. PEPs declare their status to [email protected] after registration (5.6).

Monitoring and detection

  • Enhanced due diligence applies to transactions above €10,000 within 30 days, unusual patterns, high-risk countries and PEPs; transactions above €2,000 that break a player’s usual pattern get a closer review.
  • Suspicious activity can be reported to the competent authorities and financial intelligence units.

Consequences of breaches

  • Accounts can be restricted or closed and funds frozen, and balances of accounts blocked for suspected fraud or money laundering need not be refunded (11.5).
  • Verification and transaction data can be kept for five years, as the privacy policy also describes.

Privacy Policy

Who handles the data

  • Under clause 20, the operator handles personal information strictly in line with its privacy policy and keeps copies of all communications with players. Privacy questions go to [email protected].

What data is collected

  • Registration data: full name, e-mail address, home address, date of birth, phone number and payment details.
  • Verification data: identity documents, card photos and proof of address.
  • Voluntary data: messages sent by e-mail or live chat, feedback and complaints.
  • Device and usage data: IP address, geolocation, device identifiers, pages viewed, browser, operating system and language.

How and why data is used

  • Contract: running the account and services, including payment, game and support providers.
  • Legitimate interests: protection against fraud and security threats, legal compliance, business operations and personalised offers.
  • Consent: direct mail, SMS, e-mail and phone marketing; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Sharing

  • Data is disclosed only to employees and third parties who need it to provide the services, and to public authorities on lawful request (20.3).
  • Payment providers receive name, date of birth, e-mail, address, city, country and phone number to process deposits and withdrawals.

Retention and choices

  • Data is kept while the account is active and, for risk management and compliance, for up to five years; it is depersonalised five years after account closure or inactivity.
  • Players can review, correct or ask to remove their data and opt out of marketing, although some records must be kept by law.

Security

Technical safeguards

  • The privacy policy lists regular monitoring for vulnerabilities and attacks, annual penetration testing, security training for staff and proportionate network protection, while noting that no system is completely secure.
  • The AML policy follows an “encrypt whatever can be encrypted” rule with controlled access, secure storage and backups, and new employees undergo background checks.

Account protection

  • Username and password must never be shared, and the account holder is responsible for all activity on the account (7.1, 7.2).
  • A strong password has at least 10 characters with numbers, symbols, capital and lowercase letters; choose a unique one at sign-up.
  • Unauthorised use of an account must be reported to support immediately (7.3).

Everyday precautions

  • Keep anti-virus software up to date, log off shared computers and treat pop-ups, unknown e-mails and suspicious links with caution.
