15. WITHDRAWALS
a. Information relating to withdrawal methods is included in the "Withdrawal" section of the website.
b. Any expense related to withdrawal requests, if applicable and explicitly announced on the website, shall be charged to the receiver.
c. Withdrawals of winnings, or parts thereof, will be paid out upon request by the player. The minimum withdrawal amount may range between €10 and €20 (or currency equivalent), depending on the player’s jurisdiction and selected currency. In case of account closure, the player has the right to withdraw the balance in full, regardless of the amount. Please be informed that a ten per cent (10%) administrative charge, with a minimum fee of €10 (or equivalent in another currency at daily exchange rate) will be applied. The maximum withdrawal amount is determined by the chosen payment method.
d. The account holder's personal data in their gaming account and bank account (or for any other payment method) must correspond. Energy reserves the right to request further documentation, as proof of identity, as well as additional verification of the payment method in question. The withdrawal will not be processed until Energy receives the requested documentation, while the balance will be credited back to the player's account in the meantime.
e. The maximum withdrawal amount per day is €5,000. For the user's protection in any 24-hour period, the user may only withdraw the maximum amount of €5,000 unless a larger amount has been agreed by prior arrangement.
f. Withdrawals from a user's account can only be addressed strictly to the person registered on the account and as per the conditions specified on the Energy website.
g. Withdrawals can only be paid out to the same account and payment method from which user's deposits have originated. By following a "closed-loop" policy (ensuring that payouts are made back to the same method as the inbound funds originated), Energy complies with "EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive". However, there are some occasions where this closed-loop system is impossible to enforce. Whilst ensuring compliance with the "EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive", Energy is also obligated to ensure our user's needs are served. Furthermore, sometimes technical and/or policy reasons are beyond our control, therefore some payouts cannot be made in this fashion. In these cases Energy goes to all required lengths and beyond to verify an alternative account owned by the individual player. Our Payments Department runs a full assessment of the case and makes the final decision as to whether a payment outside of a "closed-loop" policy will be performed.
h. Winnings from a No Deposit Bonus can be withdrawn to the player's bank account only after verification of the player being the beneficiary owner of the given bank account. Should a bank transfer be unavailable, we reserve the right to verify an alternative payment method owned by the player. However, our Payments department will run a full assessment of the case and make the final decision as to whether the payment method can be used.
i. A request for withdrawal of any monetary funds left on the Player's account should be submitted before the closure is actioned at our end.
j. Once a withdrawal request is submitted, it can take Energy up to three (3) business days to process the request. However, Energy will do its best to process withdrawal requests immediately.
k. Funds cannot be withdrawn from a user's account unless those same funds have been wagered at least once. Please be informed that a ten per cent (10%) administrative charge, with a minimum fee of €10 (or equivalent in another currency at daily rate) from the last deposit, may be applied for payout requests referring to amounts deposited with Energy which have not been used at least once for playing. Before such payout can be approved, it has to be assessed and confirmed by the Payments Department.
l. At least one real money deposit must be made and wagered before the first withdrawal can be processed.
16. FEES AND CHARGES
a. The amount that is displayed as the user "payout" is net of fees. Accordingly, the "payout" amount will be the exact amount deposited into your account. However, sometimes an additional fee during the withdrawal process may apply, usually, but not only, related to the withdrawal request, if applicable and explicitly announced on the website.
b. The base currency in Energy’s software is EURO, but the account balance of the user may be displayed in another currency. The user can choose other currency than EURO for his/her user account, but the user must be aware that sometimes the payment process in such a user’s account may be subject to an exchange rate when changing payment amounts into Euros. Please note that any exchange premiums are payable by the user.

25. RESPONSIBLE GAMING
a. Gambling while under the age of 18 is a criminal offence, and we take our responsibilities to prevent access for those under the age of 18 very seriously. Energy reserves the right to request proof of age documentation from any user at any time and any winnings will be confiscated if on completion of age verification the customer is shown to be underage.
b. At Energy, we encourage our users to enjoy gambling in a responsible manner. However, we do recognise that gambling can become addictive and may lead to problem gambling or even addiction for some people. In order to ensure users play responsibly, we offer a range of tools that can be used to control play, such as different types of limits or short breaks. For more information, please see our Responsible Gaming page.
c. In order to set or manage the Responsible Gaming limits, the user must log in to their Energy account. If a user finds that controlling their play with the available tools is not sufficient, we recommend that they consider a break or self-exclusion.
d. Self-exclusion enables a CLIENT to suspend themselves from using our services.
We have the following effective periods available for self-exclusion:
(a) 24 hours
(b) Three days
(c) One week
(d) 30 days
(e) indefinite period
In order to exclude for an indefinite period, the user will be requested to contact us directly.
e. It is the responsibility of the user to adhere to any self-exclusion agreement, though we are happy to help by blacklisting addresses and devices where possible (please note, this is not always possible due to technical restrictions).
f. The effectiveness of any self-exclusion agreement depends largely on the commitment of the user to manage their own behaviour. An exclusion will be most effective if a user agrees not to attempt to register again. Please be advised that exclusion should not be intended to function as a replacement for user’s managing their own behaviour or as a full guarantee to stop the user from further gambling.
g. During a self-exclusion period, every attempt will be applied to prevent the user from creating a duplicate account, and any account detected with a clear link to an account under self-exclusion will be closed upon detection, and any remaining unused balances returned to the original depositing source.
h. A written request must be submitted to customer support, should a customer wish to cancel a self-exclusion or reopen their account. Please be advised that Energy reserves the right to keep accounts closed or deny a reopening request, in order to maintain the safety of a player, as per the decision made by our Responsible Gaming Department.
i. By accepting our terms and conditions, you acknowledge and confirm that you are not excluded from our service. Therefore, no deposits, losses or winnings will be owed/refunded to you if associated with a fraudulently created additional/duplicate account, except for remaining unused balances from deposits, which will be refunded in full. To fully investigate such cases, Energy’s Responsible Gambling or Fraud Departments are entitled to request additional forms of documentation such as but not limited to, ID in hand and phone/voice verification.
j. By playing games or using the gambling services at Energy, you acknowledge that you are playing games based on, or betting on events that are subject to, luck and chance and that through the use of the service and/or software, you are subject to the risk of losing money. Thus, you accept that any losses suffered are the sole responsibility of yourself.
k. Our websites include links to external third-party organisations and information that may be helpful to problem gamblers in need of further assistance from professionals. If a user feels that they might be developing a gambling addiction or problem, we encourage them to consult these organisations. Please also contact us directly at responsiblegambling@energycasino.com should you feel that gambling has affected your life in a negative way or recognise that you have any gambling issues. In order to protect the wellbeing of those affected by problem gambling who are in a critical situation and are expressing suicidal thoughts to our agents via direct communication, we reserve the right to contact relevant local authorities to seek immediate action.
l. Please note, "idle time" is reached after 40 minutes of no activity, at which point users will be logged out automatically. It is the responsibility of individual users to maintain the security of their accounts by making sure that no one else has access to their passwords or login details. We recommend that users always log out if their device is potentially accessible by others, especially minors or those with known gambling problems.
m. If at the time of requesting self-exclusion there are still outstanding bets, where the result is not yet known, such bet/s that subsequently win will have winnings sent once the event has been settled.
n. If the user has a reason to believe that a person under the age of 18 years is accessing our services, please contact us immediately. Our support team can be contacted via email: support@energycasino.com or through LiveChat via our website.
o. Please be advised that all sensitive data related to problem gambling or exclusion has to be collected and kept on records to carry out our statutory functions related to affected individuals.
p. Energy monitors all communication channels and thoroughly reviews all submitted documents. Based on the information provided or communicated by the player, Energy reserves the right to suspend the player's account if the player exhibits signs of problem gambling.
26. INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
a. An “Inactive Account” is an account that has a real-money balance and no bets recorded for six (6) consecutive months (180 days).
b. Before your account is labelled Inactive, Energy will contact you via email 30 days in advance. You may reactivate an Inactive Account by logging into that account and placing a bet.
c. Once an account becomes an Inactive Account, Energy will charge five (5) EUR (or equivalent in account currency at daily rate) every 30 days as an administrative fee to your account, as long as there is a positive balance.
27. COMPLAINTS
Energy is committed to providing the best quality of support for our players.
We continue to improve our service by listening and responding to our users and responding positively to complaints. However, we do admit that reaching a fair outcome - as perceived by the user - in all cases, is not always possible.
Therefore, if a user feels that their case might need further escalation, they should contact our customer support agents by email at support@energycasino.com. Energy's customer care representatives will acknowledge the receipt of the complaint and strive to communicate the outcome to the user within a maximum of 10 days. In cases where the complaint involves complex aspects and is in accordance with applicable regulations, an extension of up to 10 additional days may be required.
Our agents are also available on live chat to ensure that making a complaint is as accessible as possible. The "Support" section on our website is there to assist the player in selecting the most appropriate communication channel to reach customer support.
Please be advised that complaints placed via social media will not be considered as an official complaint. The complaints received in form of a multi media message (MMS) that are sent to an official customer support email address will not be considered as official complaints.
To safeguard the user's interests and ensure the highest quality of service, please note that telephone calls and any relevant communications between you and Energy may be recorded and/or monitored.
Please note that while Energy is the operator offering the games to the user, Energy has not supplied or developed the games. Therefore, Energy does not have ownership of, nor responsibility for, such games. Any queries or complaints relating to the functioning of the games will be forwarded to and addressed by, the relevant licensing authority in relation to that specific game.
To enable Energy to deal with the user's complaint in the shortest possible time frame, the complaint must contain clear information about the identity of the user (name, surname, registered email and residential address) as well as all relevant details about the case (the name of the game, the time and date of the incident and a detailed explanation).
We strive to ensure that all players are informed of our final decision and receive guidance on filing an official dispute to a registered Alternative Dispute Resolution Body, also known as an 'ADR'. An 'ADR' is an independent third party which mediates disputes and assesses all information provided by both parties to issue an impartial decision on the matter. The eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) and CasinoReviews.com ADRs are authorised entities for Energy complaints.
The form for the eCOGRA ADR service is available here: https://ecogra.org/forms/adr-dispute-step-1.
You can find additional information and submit a complaint to CasinoReviews.com: https://casinoreviews.com/complaints
For cases involving amounts under €5,000, Energy will honour the binding decisions made by eCOGRA or CasinoReviews.com upon your acceptance.
In cases surpassing €5,000, the decisions of eCOGRA or CasinoReviews.com won't be binding unless accepted by Energy.
Users also have the option to utilize ADR services as an arbitrator. However, if ADR assumes the role of the arbitrator, the decisions made by eCOGRA or the CasinoReviews.com will not be binding.
Additionally, the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform can provide further alternative dispute resolution services within the EU. More information is available HERE.
Please keep in mind that every user maintains the full right to commence legal action against an operator, within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Maltese courts, irrespective of their satisfaction with the ADR decision.
If the user still feels that their complaint has not been resolved to their satisfaction, or is of responsible gambling nature and cannot be resolved through an ADR service, they can contact the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) through the following link HTTPS://WWW.MGA.ORG.MT/SUPPORT/ONLINE-GAMING-SUPPORT/ to dispute it.
We are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful online environment for all our users. If you come across any content on our platform that you believe to be illegal or in violation of our community guidelines, we encourage you to report it promptly to complaints@energycasino.com
