An Intending Player who does not satisfy all of the foregoing criteria is not eligible to register an account with OLG.ca or to become a Player. OLG, in its sole discretion, may require additional information or documentation from an Intending Player or Player prior to completing the registration of a Player Account or at any time thereafter, including for the purposes of confirming a Player’s identity or other Player Contact Information and in order to investigate any other suspected breaches of this Agreement (including any suspected fraudulent or dishonest activity). A failure of the Intending Player to satisfy any of the foregoing will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

In the case of registration of a Standard Player Account or transition from a Lite Lottery Account to a Standard Player Account, OLG will disclose the registration information of an Intending Player or Player, as applicable, and additional information or documentation provided for the purposes of authenticating the registration information to third-party service providers for such purposes and to otherwise confirm that an Intending Player or Player, as applicable, has satisfied the foregoing criteria and is eligible to register or transition to a Standard Player Account.

By providing any information or documentation to OLG, the Intending Player (or the Player, as the case may be) consents to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of such information by OLG for any and all of the purposes contemplated in this Agreement or in any of the other documents incorporated in this Agreement by reference pursuant to Section 3. Please see the OLG Internet Gaming Privacy and Cookie Policy for additional information regarding the collection, use, disclosure and storage of personal information by OLG.
4.2 PLAYER ACCOUNT INFORMATION Information that is submitted by an Intending Player who is registering an account with OLG.ca must be true, accurate and complete at the time it is provided to OLG and such information must remain true, accurate and complete following the registration of a Player Account. If any of such registration information changes following the registration of a Player Account, it is the Player’s sole responsibility to ensure that the Player remains entitled to have a Player Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and, if necessary, to update the Player’s information in the Player Account by going to the “My Account” or “Account Information” page.
OLG may, from time to time, disclose a Player’s registration information to third-party service providers for the purposes of confirming that the Player’s registration information remains true and accurate. In addition, OLG may, at any time in its sole discretion, request additional information and documentation from a Player and may disclose such additional information and documentation to third parties for this purpose.

The failure of a Player to update their Player Account information in a timely manner will constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Player. Following the registration of a Player Account, if OLG discovers that any of the registration information associated with a Player Account which is then on file in the iGaming System is not true or is no longer accurate or complete (including, for example, because a Player’s circumstances have changed and the Player did not update their information that is associated with the Player Account), OLG may take all steps in relation to the Player or the Player Account that OLG determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. For example, these steps may include Suspending, or Deactivating the Player Account, investigating any security issues and, in the case of suspected or actual identity theft or fraud, disclosing all relevant information to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and other third parties that OLG determines to be appropriate (for example, the AGCO, WEG, OLG’s payment processors, and credit card issuers and brands).
4.3 REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION OLG may require a Player to provide additional information and documentation if OLG, in its sole discretion, determines that the additional information or documentation is needed to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements, or if OLG considers the collection of such information or documentation to be necessary or advisable in order to prevent fraud or other illegal activity (whether suspected or actual) or to otherwise address a suspected or actual breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or to confirm a Player’s identity or entitlement to receive or withdraw Unutilized Funds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Player will be required to provide to OLG such information and documentation as OLG may determine that it requires in order to comply with its FINTRAC reporting obligations. By providing such additional information or documentation to OLG, the Player will be deemed to represent and warrant to OLG that such information is true and accurate or that such documentation is a true, accurate and complete copy of the original.
4.4 Accessing a player account When registering for a Player Account, an Intending Player will be required to create Login Credentials. Following the registration of a Player Account, the Player is solely responsible for maintaining the security and secrecy of the Player’s Login Credentials, including related security or verification questions and answers. A Player is not permitted to disclose the Login Credentials to any other individual (including, without limitation, other Players, Prospective Players, family members, or minors), and only the Player is permitted to use the Login Credentials to log into the relevant Player Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Player is not permitted to use their Login Credentials or Device Biometric Authentication for the purpose of giving any other individual access to the Player’s Player Account for any reason. All transactions (for example, changes to registration information and Player Contact Information, deposits, withdrawals, Game play and lottery ticket purchases) made through a Player Account following the correct entry or application of valid Login Credentials (including while Device Biometric Authentication is enabled) will be deemed to have been made by the Player, and the Player will be solely responsible for all such transactions.
If a Player intentionally or unintentionally discloses their Login Credentials to anyone else, or if the Player suspects that someone else might have discovered the Player’s Login Credentials (whether or not such other person has used or attempted to use the Player’s Login Credentials), the Player must immediately change their password on OLG.ca and notify Player Support regarding the compromise or possible compromise of the original Login Credentials.
A Player can change the password associated with their Login Credentials at any time by going to the “My Account” or “Account Information” page.
A Player has the option to enable (through their Player Account) Device Biometric Authentication to access their Player Account.
The Player is responsible for the care and control of any device they use to access OLG.ca, store Device Biometric Data or enable Device Biometric Authentication. The Player acknowledges that once Device Biometric Authentication is enabled through their Player Account, any Biometric Data stored in the device used to enable the feature can be used to access the Player’s Player Account. Each time a Player uses Device Biometric Authentication to access their Player Account, they will be deemed to represent and warrant to OLG that their own and no other individual’s Device Biometric Data has been used as part of Device Biometric Authentication. OLG does not access nor store Device Biometric Data.
OLG shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages arising out of or related to the Player’s use of, inability to use, or enabling of Device Biometric Authentication. OLG reserves the right to disable Device Biometric Authentication at any time without notice.
A Player has the option of enabling Multi-Factor Authentication as an additional verification factor to access their Player Account along with the use of a Player’s Login Credentials. “Multi-Factor Authentication” is an authentication method that requires the Player to input a Time-based One-time Password provided by that third-party application in addition to their Login Credentials, to confirm the Player’s identity when they attempt to sign-in to their Player Account. A “Time-based One-time Password” is a temporary password generated by a third-party application that can only be used once and within a certain period of time before it becomes invalid, at which point the Player will be required to input a newly generated Time-based One-time Password.
A Player may download any third-party authenticator application to their mobile device or desktop from Google Play or Apple’s App store, including but not limited to Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile or Microsoft Authenticator. By choosing to download, access or use a third-party application, the Player accepts and agrees that there may be additional terms and conditions governing this application and it is the Player’s responsibility to determine whether to accept and agree to such third-party terms and conditions. OLG shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from the download, access or use of the third-party application selected by the Player in accordance with Section 14.1 and 14.2 of this Agreement.

For greater certainty, wagering activity on the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform is not monitored by OLG for responsible gambling purposes, including play tracking nor to generate responsible gambling risk scores, assessments or profiles as described in section 3.10 of the Responsible Gambling and My PlayBreak Policy (as amended from time to time) or any successor provision(s) thereof. All other provisions of the Responsible Gambling and My PlayBreak Policy (as amended from time to time) or any successor provision(s) thereof, inclusive of OLG’s PlaySmart RG tools available to players on OLG.ca, apply.
Further, Players will not be permitted to access the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform if access to their Player Account is not permitted pursuant to the Agreement (including, without limitation, in the event the Player is registered for My Playbreak or the Player Account has been Closed, Deactivated or Suspended).
6 DEPOSITS INTO PLAYER ACCOUNT AND DIRECT PAY 6.1 FUNDING A PLAYER ACCOUNT AND DIRECT PAY In order to play Games (other than Play-for-Free Games) or bet on the Online Horse Wagering Platform on OLG.ca, a Player is required to have a positive notional balance of funds in their Standard Player Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Player may purchase tickets for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online through their Player Account, using Direct Pay on OLG.ca (subject to system availability). Direct Pay is a feature available only to Players with a Player Account. OLG will not extend credit to Players.
If, at the time that a bet, wager, or purchase is to be made in respect of a Game or the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform, a Player Account does not have sufficient funds available or a permitted Direct Pay payment card is not Funded, then the bet, wager or purchase will not be made and the Player’s entry into the Game or bet placed on the Online Horsing Racing Wagering Platform will be rejected. A Player is solely responsible for ensuring that their Player Account contains sufficient funds or their permitted Direct Pay payment card is Funded, as applicable, for a Game (including any Future Game Transaction) or a bet placed on the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform. OLG does not undertake any obligation or responsibility for notifying a Player if they do or may have insufficient funds available or if their permitted Direct Pay payment card is or is not funded, to play a particular Game (including any Future Game Transaction) or bet on the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform prior to rejecting the relevant transaction (provided that the foregoing will not restrict OLG’s ability to so notify a Player).
In addition, subject to certain exceptions, any monetary Prizes from Games that are played through OLG.ca or from bets placed on the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform via OLG.ca, including those Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online funded through Direct Pay for a Standard Player Account, will be loaded to the Standard Player Account by means of a credit to the notional balance of such Player Account. The withdrawal of funds representing such Prizes from a Player Account will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Instructions for claiming non-monetary Prizes will be provided to Players by OLG from time to time.
6.2 MEANS OF DEPOSITING FUNDS AND USING DIRECT PAY A Player may, using Canadian dollars only: (i) fund their Standard Player Account by depositing funds with OLG; or (ii) complete a purchase for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online using Direct Pay, by means of an accepted Payment Method. INTERAC e-Transfer® payments are not permitted for use in a purchase for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online using Direct Pay.
A list of all currently accepted Payment Methods can be found within the Deposit and Direct Pay pages. No other Payment Methods are permitted.
OLG reserves the right to change, add, or remove accepted Payment Methods, and the terms and conditions applicable to accepted Payment Methods, subject to notice, if applicable. Players are solely responsible for reviewing accepted Payment Methods before initiating any transaction with OLG.
Players should be aware that some credit card issuers may treat the funding of a Player Account as a cash advance and charge a fee for each such credit card transaction. Any cash advance fee or other fees relating to the use of a Payment Method are the Player’s sole responsibility.
Credit cards or debit cards that are accepted Payment Methods must be issued in Canada by a Canadian bank or financial institution. Players may only deposit funds using a Payment Method for which the Player is an authorized user, as defined by the Canadian bank, financial institution, or payment processing operator, as applicable.
OLG will not collect online banking or password information.
A Player should familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions that govern the use of their chosen Payment Method prior to using it to fund a Player Account or for Direct Pay including, but not limited to any cash advance fees or other fees related to the use of the Payment Method.
OLG or its payment processing service providers may store Payment Method or card information on servers located outside of Ontario, but within Canada. In addition, OLG and its payment processing service providers may use and disclose aggregated transaction information for various analytical purposes relating to their respective businesses (but not relating to a specific or identifiable Player). By using an accepted Payment Method to fund a Player Account or for Direct Pay, the Player expressly consents to OLG or its payment processing service providers, or both, storing such transaction information located on servers located outside of Ontario, but within Canada and using and disclosing aggregated transaction information for the purposes described in this paragraph.
The merchant associated with any deposit transaction will be “Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation”.
Each time a Player uses an accepted Payment Method to make a deposit with OLG for purposes of funding the notional balance of a Standard Player Account and/or to purchase a ticket for a Draw Based Lottery Gamer Played Online using Direct Pay, they will be deemed to represent and warrant to OLG that the Player has all necessary rights and authority to use such credit card, debit card or the funds in the relevant bank account for such purposes, including in circumstances in which the credit card, debit card or bank account is jointly held with one or more other persons or is held by a person other than the Player.
OLG, or its payment processing service providers, will hold a Player’s monies that are deposited with OLG for purposes of funding the notional balance of a Standard Player Account in a bank account or escrow account as trustee for the Player (not as banker or debtor). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, OLG will deal with a Player’s money that has been deposited with OLG as a trustee, and nothing contained herein shall create or give rise to any obligation on the part of OLG to repay any money to the Player as the Player’s debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, a Player Account is not a bank account and, therefore, is not insured, guaranteed, sponsored, or otherwise protected by any deposit or banking insurance system. Funds deposited with OLG for purposes of funding the notional balance of a Standard Player Account, and monetary Prizes that are credited to a Player Account, will not accrue interest for the benefit of the Player, and the Player shall not be entitled to claim any interest from OLG in respect of any such funds.
In the event that any amount becomes owing to OLG by the Player under or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, OLG shall have the right to deduct such amounts from the Player’s Unutilized Funds and to adjust the notional balance of funds in the Standard Player Account accordingly without the requirement for any advance or further notice to be provided to the Player by OLG.
6.3 DEPOSIT AND DIRECT PAY LIMITS AND LIMITATIONS In addition to any deposit limits established by a Player, OLG (in its sole discretion) may restrict a Player’s ability to fund the notional balance of a Standard Player Account or their ability to engage in Direct Pay, including but not limited to by:
establishing minimum and maximum amounts of funds that may be deposited by a Player with OLG for the purpose of funding the notional balance of a Standard Player Account, on a transaction-by-transaction basis or during one or more time periods. As of the date of this Agreement, the minimum deposit amount for a single deposit by a Player cannot be less than $15.00 and cannot exceed $999,999.00; limiting the number of different credit cards that a Standard Player can use to fund a Player Account or make a purchase using Direct Pay. In addition, a particular credit card may not be registered with more than one Player Account; restricting a Player’s ability to change deposit methods during specified periods of time; restricting a Player’s ability to change certain credit card information or otherwise impose conditions prior to changing credit card information (for example, requiring that the Player contact Player Support); changing acceptable methods of payment; or limiting the number of deposits that a Player can make for the purpose of funding the notional balance of a Player Account. As of the date of this Agreement, a Player cannot make more than ten (10) such deposits. Subject to the deposit limits set by OLG pursuant to this Section 6.3, a Player has the option to set, change or remove deposit limits for their Standard Player Account applicable to the periods of time and in the manner contemplated in the Responsible Gambling and My PlayBreak Policy 6.4 CHARGEBACKS A “Chargeback” occurs for the purposes of this Agreement when a credit or debit cardholder contacts the bank or other financial institution that issued the card to initiate a refund for a payment transaction that was made using the card or the account associated with the card, and the bank or financial institution requests that OLG return the relevant funds.
If a Player funds the notional balance of their Standard Player Account or completes a purchase using Direct Pay and thereafter a Chargeback occurs in respect of all or part of the transaction, OLG (or any of its third-party service providers) may take any or all of the following actions, in each case as OLG, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate:
Suspend the Player Account pending resolution of any dispute relating to the Chargeback in accordance with Section 12.1; Request that the Player contact Player Support to explain the circumstances of the Chargeback; debit the Unutilized Funds in the Standard Player Account with the amount of the Chargeback. If that debit results in a negative balance of Unutilized Funds in the Player Account, the amount of the negative balance will constitute a debt owed by the Player to OLG, and OLG reserves the right to recover such amount from the Player; Deactivate the Player Account and exclude the Player from playing Games or utilizing the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform on OLG.ca (i.e., deem the individual to thereafter be an Excluded Individual); or Initiate a dispute resolution process with the relevant bank or financial institution, which may include OLG providing evidence relating to the deposit transaction and/or Chargeback to a payment processing service provider and/or a bank or financial institution. 7 WITHDRAWALS FROM A PLAYER ACCOUNT 7.1 METHODS OF WITHDRAWING UNUTILIZED FUNDS Subject to certain exceptions, withdrawals of Unutilized Funds from a Standard Player Account will be processed by means of an electronic bank transfer (in Canadian dollars only) to a bank account that is registered by the Player and which OLG has verified and approved, to its satisfaction, is held by the Player at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to OLG in Canada. A Player is not permitted to designate a bank account for such purposes that is not held by the Player (alone or together with other persons).
The Player acknowledges and agrees that:
OLG will require the Player to submit documentation (by electronic upload via OLG.ca or as OLG may otherwise instruct) that, in OLG’s sole determination, evidences the Player’s authority over the bank account that is to be registered. For example, OLG may require a copy of a void cheque or a bank account statement, in either case which includes the Player’s name, civic address and the bank account number, all of which must match the information associated with the Player Account that is stored in OLG’s iGaming System; by submitting such documentation to OLG, the Player will be deemed to represent and warrant to OLG that such documentation is a true, accurate and complete copy of the original; and if the Player registers a bank account that is held jointly with one or more other persons, withdrawals of Unutilized Funds from their Standard Player Account will be paid into such joint account and, therefore, may be accessed by the other account holders. A Player will not be entitled to specify any other payment method or currency of payment for a withdrawal. For example, a Player will not be able to withdraw Unutilized Funds to a credit card even if the Player used a credit card to deposit funds with OLG for purposes of funding the notional balance of their Standard Player Account. OLG, in its sole discretion, may from time to time return Unutilized Funds to a Player by other appropriate means. 7.2 WITHDRAWAL LIMITS AND LIMITATIONS Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Player may withdraw Unutilized Funds from their Standard Player Account up to the then-current balance of Unutilized Funds.
A Player will not be entitled to withdraw Unutilized Funds from a Standard Player Account through OLG.ca at any time that a Player Account is Suspended unless OLG, in its sole discretion, determines that the withdrawal (in whole or in part) will be permitted. If a Standard Player Account is Suspended and the Player wants to make a withdrawal of Unutilized Funds, the Player must contact Player Support.
OLG may from time to time specify minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts applicable to Player Accounts. As of the date of this Agreement, the minimum amount of a single withdrawal of Unutilized Funds by a Player is $2, and there is no maximum amount of a single withdrawal of Unutilized Funds by a Player. If a Player wishes to withdraw less than the specified minimum amount, the Player must contact Player Support.
OLG may from time to time limit the number of withdrawals of Unutilized Funds by a Player that a Player can make during a specified period of time. As of the date of this Agreement, a Player is permitted to make only one withdrawal of Unutilized Funds per day.
7.3 WITHDRAWAL CANCELLATIONS OLG may, in its discretion, refuse a withdrawal request if OLG suspects such withdrawal is made in breach of this Agreement (whether or not such violation is a Material Breach). OLG will make reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Player of such refusal via the Player Contact Information associated with the Standard Player Account.
A Player may cancel their withdrawal request through their Standard Player Account. Provided such cancellation has not been processed by OLG, the relevant funds will be returned to the Unutilized Funds in the Standard Player Account.
7.4 WITHDRAWAL PROCESSING TIMES Following a Player’s request to withdraw Unutilized Funds from their Standard Player Account and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions for a withdrawal (including providing any required information or documentation to OLG), in most circumstances OLG will be able to process the withdrawal within three Business Days. In some circumstances, a longer period of time for processing a withdrawal may be required. OLG will not be required to notify the Player of any delay associated with the processing of a withdrawal of Unutilized Funds or the reason for such delay unless additional information or documentation is required to be provided by the Player.
7.5 PRIZE REDEMPTION FOR A LITE LOTTERY ACCOUNT To redeem a Prize from a winning ticket in respect of a Draw-Based Lottery Game played through a Lite Lottery Account:
where the Prize is less than $1,000.00, a Player may elect: (1) to convert their Lite Lottery Account to a Standard Player Account in accordance with the Player Agreement and have the Prize deposited, subject to certain exceptions, into their Player Account as Unutilized Funds; or (2) redeem the Prize at an OLG authorized lottery retailer. Where a Player redeems a Prize at an OLG authorized lottery retailer, the OLG Rules Respecting Lottery Games shall govern the Prize claim; and where the Prize is $1000.00 or more, a Player must convert their Lite Lottery Account to a Standard Player Account in accordance with the Player Agreement and, subject to certain exceptions, have the Prize deposited into their Player Account as Unutilized Funds. Where a Lite Lottery Account is converted to a Standard Player Account in accordance with Section 7.5(a)(1), the Player retains the discretion through such Standard Player Account to elect to redeem a Prize less than $1,000.00 from a winning ticket in respect of a Draw-Based Lottery Game at an OLG authorized lottery retailer, with such prize claim being governed by the OLG Rules Respecting Lottery Games. 8 BONUS FUNDS TERMS 8.1 BONUS FUNDS From time to time, OLG may, in its sole discretion, whether for promotional purposes or otherwise, offer to upload Bonus Funds into a Player Account, subject to the Player (in their discretion) accepting the offer of the Bonus Funds. Bonus Funds have a notional monetary value only, so they are not Unutilized Funds at the time they are awarded. A Player is not entitled to receive Bonus Funds unless OLG, in its sole discretion, determines that Bonus Funds should be offered to a particular Player. A Player will not be obligated to accept Bonus Funds. A Player can forfeit Bonus Funds at any time by contacting Player Support.
OLG will have the right to determine the qualification criteria for all promotions and awarding of Bonus Funds. The criteria will be specified in the terms and conditions that OLG determines are applicable to any specific Bonus Funds, and any use of such Bonus Funds must comply with the applicable terms and conditions relating thereto (the “Bonus Funds Terms”). All Bonus Funds Terms will be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Agreement, and Section 3 herein shall govern to the extent of any inconsistency between the Bonus Funds Terms and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The awarding and availability of Bonus Funds are in OLG’s sole discretion. The use of Bonus Funds may be limited to specific Games and specific periods of time, and Bonus Funds may expire and be cancelled if they are not used prior to a specified date or time. The applicable Bonus Funds Terms should be consulted. In addition, OLG may cancel Bonus Funds that have been uploaded into a Player Account at any time in its sole discretion.
8.2 USING BONUS FUNDS If a Player who wants to play Games (other than Play-for-Free Games, Sports Betting Games Played Online and Draw Based Lottery Games Played Online) has both Bonus Funds and Unutilized Funds in their Player Account (regardless of whether the awarding of the Bonus Funds preceded or followed the credit of notional funds to the balance of the Player Account, whether resulting from a deposit of funds with OLG by the Player or the winning of a Prize by the Player), the Unutilized Funds will be used first to play the eligible Games until all of the Unutilized Funds have been utilized, following which time the Bonus Funds will be used. Winnings from wagers placed with such Bonus Funds are added to the Bonus Funds balance.
The Bonus Funds Terms may contemplate that certain Bonus Funds will become Unutilized Funds only after certain wagering requirements have been satisfied. A Player should review the applicable Bonus Funds Terms prior to accepting an offer of Bonus Funds. If a Player does not accept the applicable Bonus Funds Terms in their entirety, then the Player must not accept the relevant Bonus Funds or opt-out of the promotion in accordance with such Bonus Fund Terms.
If a Player chooses to pay for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online using Direct Pay, they are not permitted to use Unutilized Funds to pay for any portion of the total purchase value. If a Player wishes to use Unutilized Funds in their Player Account to pay for any portion of any purchase, the Player must pay for the entirety of the purchase with Unutilized Funds and/or Bonus Funds in accordance with this Agreement. In respect of subscriptions for Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online, a Player may change the method of payment for Future Game Transactions between: (i) Direct Pay, and (ii) Unutilized Funds in their Player Account, in accordance with the Direct Pay Subscription Terms.
For Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online and Sports Betting Games Played Online, Bonus Funds are subject to the applicable Bonus Fund Terms. Pursuant to such terms, a Player may be required and/or permitted to use Bonus Funds for the purchase of Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online and/or wager on Sports Betting Games Played Online, as applicable, prior to funding the purchase or wager from Unutilized Funds or, as applicable in the case of Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online, through Direct Pay.
9 ADVERTISING 9.1 PUBLISHING WINNER INFORMATION OLG may publish the winner’s name, town/city, Prize amount, game name, “insider” status, draw date and paid date on OLG’s web site (OLG.ca). This will not apply to Prizes won via the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform.
10 DORMANT ACCOUNTS 10.1 how a player account becomes a dormant account A Player Account will become a Dormant Account if there has not been a Player-Initiated Transaction for a period of 36-consecutive months, unless the Player Account is for an individual registered for My PlayBreak. For this purpose, a “Player-Initiated Transaction” means (i) a deposit of funds by the Player for the purpose of funding the Standard Player Account, (ii) a withdrawal of Unutilized Funds from the Player Account, or (iii) a bet or wager on a Pay-to-Play Game or on the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform or a purchase of a Draw-Based Lottery Game Played Online, including a Future Game Transaction that has not expired or been suspended due to insufficiency of Unutilized Funds or for any other reason. For the avoidance of doubt, participation in a Play-for-Free Game is not considered a Player-Initiated Transaction. If a Future Game Transaction associated with such a Player Account expires or is suspended or cancelled for any reason, the foregoing 36-month period will be calculated beginning on the day that the last Future Game Transaction is processed from the Player Account, being the last Player-Initiated Transaction.
10.2 effects of a dormant account A Player is not restricted from accessing their Player Account during the time it is a Dormant Account. A Dormant Account (that has not been Deactivated) will cease to be a Dormant Account upon the completion of a Player-Initiated Transaction. If a Player Account remains a Dormant Account for 30 consecutive days, OLG will Deactivate such Player Account no earlier than the 31st day after the date the Player Account became a Dormant Account.
Upon a Player Account becoming a Dormant Account, OLG will use reasonable efforts to notify the Player via the email address associated with such Player Account of the following: (i) the Player’s Player Account has become a Dormant Account; (ii) if applicable, the balance of Unutilized Funds associated with the Standard Player Account; (iii) the consequences of the Player not taking the steps contemplated in this Section 10.2 to remove the Dormant Account status from their Player Account.
Notwithstanding Section 12.2, upon the Deactivation of a Dormant Account, OLG will automatically retain the Unutilized Funds subsisting at such time until: (i) OLG approves a request from the Intending Player to reactivate their Deactivated Dormant Account in accordance with Section 10.3; or (ii) OLG receives proper instructions relating to the disposition of such funds from the Player or their legal representative.
10.3 REACTIVATION OF A DEACTIVATED DORMANT ACCOUNT OLG will retain information relating to a Deactivated Dormant Account in the iGaming System in accordance with its record retention policies. If a Dormant Account is Deactivated pursuant to Section 10.2, the Intending Player associated with such Dormant Account may thereafter contact Player Support to request the reactivation of such Dormant Account. If such a Deactivated Dormant Account is reactivated, it will have the same account details as those which existed as of the date the Dormant Account was Deactivated. In the event that any of the relevant information has changed (for example, the Player Contact Information), the Intending Player will be solely responsible for updating such information and complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement which are then in effect.
11 PLAYER’S CLOSURE OF ACCOUNTS 11.1 CLOSURE OF A PLAYER ACCOUNT BY THE PLAYER A Player may close their Player Account at any time by contacting Player Support (“Closed Account”). If a Player is no longer eligible to have a Player Account (for example, if the Player will be relocating to a jurisdiction outside of the Province of Ontario, or if the Player becomes an Excluded Individual), the Player is required to Close their Player Account.
Upon Closure of a Player Account, the Player Account will no longer be accessible by the Player. Renewed access to and use of a Player Account for an Intending Player with a Closed Account is subject to OLG approval in its sole and absolute discretion and may be requested by the Intending Player only by contacting Player Support. All Future Game Transactions associated with the Closed Player Account that have not been completed by the time of Closure will be cancelled.
Notwithstanding the Closure of the account, OLG will retain a Player’s information in accordance with its record retention policies. For more information on how OLG retains a Player’s personal information, see the OLG Internet Gaming Privacy and Cookie Policy
Subject to the minimum withdrawal requirements in Section 7.2 and documentation requirements in Section 4.3, if a Player Closes their Player Account and Unutilized Funds remain in the Player Account at that time, OLG will return the Unutilized Funds to the Player’s bank account that is associated with the Player Account, the details of which are stored by OLG on the iGaming System. In the event that no bank account is associated with the Player Account, or if OLG is not able to successfully deposit the Unutilized Funds in such bank account (for example, because the bank account has been closed or because OLG requires additional information in order to confirm that the bank account belongs to the Player), OLG will use reasonable efforts to contact the Player using the Player Contact Information to advise as to the status of the Player Account and the balance of Unutilized Funds.
12 DEACTIVATION OR SUSPENSION OF A PLAYER ACCOUNT IN OLG’S DISCRETION 12.1 SUSPENSION OF A PLAYER ACCOUNT OLG shall have the right to suspend a Player Account at any time in its sole discretion (a “Suspended Account”). Without limiting the foregoing, and by way of example only, OLG may Suspend a Player’s access to their Player Account if it suspects that the Player has improperly initiated a Chargeback or has committed any breach of this Player Agreement, applicable law, Lottery Game Rules, Pay-to-Play Game Rules, and/or the Online Horse Racing Betting Terms.
While a Player Account is Suspended:
a Player will be unable to login or access their Player Account; a Player will be unable to withdraw any Unutilized Funds from a Standard Player Account or redeem any Prizes from a Player Account, unless OLG, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise; all Future Game Transactions associated with the Suspended Player Account will be suspended and/or cancelled (i.e. no purchase or other financial transaction in respect thereof that has not been completed at the time the Player Account is Suspended will be completed); and a Player may be required to cooperate with any investigations conducted by OLG into the Player’s conduct prior to the Suspension being lifted (including provisions of additional documentation or information as requested by OLG). Failure to cooperate with this subsection 12.1(d) shall be deemed a Material Breach of this Agreement. If, during the Suspension, OLG determines that the Player has committed a Material Breach of this Agreement, it may Deactivate the Player Account in accordance with Section 12.2. Renewed access to and use of a Player Account for an Intending Player with a Suspended Account is subject to OLG approval in its sole and absolute discretion and may be requested by the Intending Player only by contacting Player Support. 12.2 DEACTIVATION OF PLAYER ACCOUNTS OLG shall have the right to deactivate a Player Account at any time in its sole discretion (a “Deactivated Account”).
If OLG Deactivates a Player Account, OLG will deposit an amount equal to the Unutilized Funds as at such date into the bank account that is associated with the Player Account (subject to the minimum withdrawal requirements detailed in Section 7.2 and additional documentation requirements in Section 4.3), the details of which are stored by OLG on the iGaming System. In the event that no bank account is associated with the Player Account, or if OLG is not able to successfully deposit the Unutilized Funds in such bank account (for example, because the bank account has been closed or because OLG requires additional information in order to confirm that the bank account belongs to the Player), OLG will use its reasonable efforts to contact the Player using the Player Contact Information. If OLG is unable to contact the Player, then OLG will retain the Unutilized Funds or Prizes associated with the Player Account, as applicable, until OLG receives proper instructions relating to the disposition of such funds from the Player or their legal representative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if OLG Deactivates a Player Account as a result of the occurrence of a Material Breach by the Player under this Agreement, OLG (in its sole discretion) shall be entitled to treat any or all of the Unutilized Funds or Prizes associated with the Player Account as forfeited by the Player, in which case the Player will not be entitled to have such funds provided. Renewed access to and use of a Player Account for an Intending Player with a Deactivated Account is subject to OLG approval in its sole and absolute discretion and may be requested by the Intending Player only by contacting Player Support.
13 EFFECT OF DEACTIVATION OR CLOSURE OF A PLAYER ACCOUNT Without limiting the foregoing, when a Player Account is a Closed Account or a Deactivated Account:
Any scheduled wagers, bets or purchases (including for Future Game Transactions) that have not been completed prior to the Closure or Deactivation will be cancelled; the Player will not be entitled to receive any offers for new Bonus Funds, and any existing Bonus Funds associated with the Player Account will be cancelled and the Player will not be entitled to receive any compensation in respect of the cancelled Bonus Funds; and this Agreement will terminate, except for those provisions which by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement. 14 ACCESSING AND USING OLG.CA 14.1 SUPPLY AND MAINTENANCE OF PLAYER EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES Prospective Players, Intending Players, and Players are solely responsible for supplying and maintaining all equipment, technology and services that they require to access and use OLG.ca.

In the event that any action that is prohibited by this Section 14.4 occurs, OLG (in its sole discretion) may deem it to be an Error for the purposes of this Agreement, and, in addition to this Section 14.4, Section 15.1 shall also apply in respect thereof. 14.5 COLLUSION, CHEATING, FRAUD AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY Each Player is prohibited from engaging in, and is required to immediately notify OLG upon becoming aware that another Player is or may be engaging in, any form of collusion, cheating, fraud or criminal activity or otherwise exploiting an unfair advantage involving any Game or other component of OLG.ca, including in connection with the registration of a Player Account, the deposit of funds with OLG to the credit of the notional balance of a Player Account, making a bet, wager or purchase of a Game or via the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform, or the withdrawal of Unutilized Funds.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the following is a non-exhaustive list of examples of collusion, cheating, fraud, criminal activity and/or the exploitation of an unfair advantage:

OLG will use reasonable efforts to detect and prevent any such collusion, cheating, fraud or criminal activity by Players or the taking of any unfair advantage by Players, but in the event that any such activity occurs and another Player incurs any loss or damage, OLG will not be liable for any such loss or damage. Each Player hereby represents and warrants to OLG that they comply, and will comply, with the provisions of paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 14.5.
OLG shall have the right to notify all third parties which OLG, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate in the event of any actual or suspected collusion, cheating, fraud or criminal activity by any Player or the taking of any unfair advantage by any Player, including the appropriate law enforcement authorities and other third parties that OLG determines to be appropriate (for example, police services, the AGCO, OLG’s payment processors, Event governing bodies, other operators/providers of sports being platforms, and credit card issuers and brands).
15 ERRORS AND UNAVAILABILITY OF OLG.CA 15.1 OLG’S ERRORS A number of circumstances may arise where a Game-related bet, wager or purchase or other Player-Initiated Transaction is accepted in error, where a Prize is awarded, a Player Account is credited or a withdrawal is processed in error, or where a Lottery Game Rule or Pay-to-Play Game Rule includes an error (each an “Error”). As examples only, Errors may include:
where OLG misstates any Lottery Game Rules, Pay-to-Play Game Rules or Bonus Funds Terms, in each case as a result of an obvious error or omission in inputting the information, or as a result of a computer malfunction; where OLG’s third party service provider misstates any Lottery Game Rules Pay-to-Play Game Rules or other applicable terms, conditions, explanations, rules or procedures; where OLG credits a Player Account, thereby increasing the amount of Unutilized Funds or Prizes, as a result of a manual or computer input error; where OLG deposits into a Player’s bank account an amount that is greater than the amount of Unutilized Funds in a Player Account; or in the case of Sports Betting Games Played Online, errors which may result in the voiding and/or resettling of a wager: i. Where OLG accepts a wager after the Event Cut-off Time for Wagering (as defined in the applicable Pay-to-Play Game Rules); after a result is known; or at a stage where the Player could have any indication of the result of the wager; ii. Where OLG accepts a wager based on incorrect information provided by OLG including, but not limited to, incorrect outcomes, participants, location, date, time, lines or odds; iii. Where OLG settles a wager with an incorrect result or payout; or iv. If OLG, in its sole discretion, believes that the integrity of the event may have been called into question: or v. The Player fails to comply with one or more of paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 14.5 OLG reserves the right to correct any Error in the manner that it deems appropriate in the circumstances, and OLG’s decision shall be final and binding. Reference is also made to Section 16.3. Neither OLG nor any of its employees, agents or service providers shall be liable for any loss incurred by a Player that results from any Error, including any loss of winnings that results from a forfeiture thereof by the Player as a result of the Error. OLG shall use reasonable efforts to notify a Player if any Error has adversely impacted the Player, or if the correction of any Error adversely impacts the Player.
In the event that OLG credits a Player Account, or pays any money to a Player (for example, by processing a withdrawal), as a result of or in relation to an Error, the Player shall be deemed to hold the entirety of the amount of such credit or payment (such amount being herein referred to as “Error Funds”) in trust for OLG, and OLG shall have the right to recover the Error Funds through a correcting entry to the extent that funds are available in the Player’s Player Account and, if sufficient funds are not available, through a demand for payment to that person, which demand the person shall immediately satisfy, to the extent of any deficiency, in accordance with OLG’s reasonable instructions. Further, any subsequent Game-related bet, wager or purchase or other Player-Initiated Transaction may be deemed by OLG to have been made using the Error Funds, and (i) OLG may cancel such bet, wager or purchase, and (ii) if any Prize in respect thereof has been credited to the Player Account or otherwise paid or delivered to the Player, the Player shall be deemed to be holding the full amount of such Prize in trust for OLG, and (iii) upon OLG making a demand for the return of such Prize, the Player shall immediately return the Prize to OLG in accordance with OLG’s reasonable instructions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Errors related to a Player’s use of the Online Horse Racing Wagering Platform shall be addressed in accordance with the Online Horse Racing Wagering Terms.
15.2 UNAVAILABILITY OF OLG.CA OLG intends to make OLG.ca available on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week. However, from time to time it will be necessary to limit or restrict access to all or parts of OLG.ca (“Downtime”), including for purposes of conducting software maintenance and upgrades, and addressing Errors and other issues as determined by OLG in its sole discretion. During a period of Downtime, some or all of the functionality of OLG.ca may not be available. As examples only, it may not be possible to:

OLG will use reasonable efforts to notify Players in advance of planned Downtime by posting notices at OLG.ca or through other appropriate means as determined by OLG in its discretion. However, it may not be possible to notify Players in advance of Downtime, including in circumstances beyond OLG’s control (for example, a power failure) or if the Downtime is determined to be necessary to address a potential or actual security threat or breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a Player shall not be entitled to any compensation arising from or as a result of any Downtime including, for example, if a Player is unable to withdraw Unutilized Funds through OLG.ca or if Bonus Funds expire during the period of any Downtime. 16 BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY A PLAYER 16.1 NOT A MATERIAL BREACH If a Prospective Player or a Player fails to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement or otherwise breaches this Agreement, except in the case of a material breach of this Agreement (actual or deemed), OLG will use reasonable efforts to notify the Prospective Player or the Player of the breach and, if such breach is of a nature that can be remedied, provide a reasonable period of time (as determined by OLG) during which the Prospective Player or Player may remedy the breach.

OLG’s records, as maintained in the iGaming System (and/or OLG’s central computer-controlled online system, in the case of a Draw-Based Lottery Game Played Online), will be the final authority in determining the circumstances of a Player’s participation in the relevant Game and the results of such participation and/or the circumstances of a Player-Initiated Transaction.
