Welcome to the Casino Reactivation Challenge promotion (the “Promotion”), where, subject to these Terms and Conditions, eligible participants who experience a Net Loss (as defined in Section 4 below) will receive a Casino Site Credit (as defined in Section 4 below) that can be converted to a Promotion Bonus (as defined in Section 5 below) by earning Redemption Points (as defined in Section 4 below).
The Promotion is sponsored by TSG Interactive US Services Limited (the “Sponsor”). In these Terms and Conditions, a reference to “you”, “your” or “participant(s)” means any persons wishing to participate in the Promotion. Participation in the Promotion and redemption of the Promotion Bonus is expressly conditioned upon your acceptance of, and compliance with all requirements set out in, these Terms and Conditions. You may be required to sign paperwork issued by the Sponsor.
The Promotion will begin at 8:00 AM ET on August 23, 2023 and end at 11:59 PM ET on August 30, 2023 (the “Promotion Period”).
To enter the Promotion, you must be at least 21 years of age, have a PokerStars Account (as defined in Section 6 below), be physically present in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Michigan when you participate in the Promotion (depending on whether you are playing on the www.pokerstarsnj.com, pokerstarsmtairycasino.com or www.pokestarsmi.com website respectively), and have received an invitation from the Sponsor. If your social security number is associated with another PokerStars Account in the Sponsor's database, you may only earn 1x Casino Site Credit and Promotion Bonus in respect of all such PokerStars Accounts under the Promotion. Employees, officers and directors of the Sponsor, its affiliates, cable/satellite affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, retailers, distributors, and each of such employees’, officers’ and directors’ immediate family members and/or those living in the same household (whether legally related or not) of each are not eligible to participate in the Promotion or receive a Casino Site Credit or Promotion Bonus. Individuals who have entered any self-limited or government agency self-exclusion program or have been otherwise excluded from casinos by a government agency, the Sponsor and/or one or more of its affiliates and/or gaming license partners and persons on a Disassociated Patrons, Self-Limit, Involuntary Exclusion, Voluntary Exclusion or Self Exclusion List in jurisdictions in which the Sponsor and/or its affiliates and/or gaming license partners operate are not eligible to participate in the Promotion or receive a Casino Site Credit and Promotion Bonus.
To enter the Promotion, during the Promotion Period you must log into your PokerStars Account, opt-in to the Promotion via the invite displayed in the “Challenges” section of your PokerStars Account, and place a real money wager of any value on any of the Eligible Games (as defined in Section 10 below) (“ Qualifying Wager”). If you experience a Net Loss (as defined below) on the Qualifying Wager, you will receive a credit for the value of the Net Loss up to a maximum of US $25 that you can wager on any real money table and slot casino games (excluding live dealer table games for participants in Pennsylvania) available on the PokerStars casino site (“Casino Site Credit”). You will then have 7 days from the receipt of the Casino Site Credit (“Release Period”) to earn Redemption Points (as defined below) and release your Casino Site Credit. Participants earn 0.25 redemption points for every US$1 of the Casino Site Credit wagered during the Release Period (“Redemption Points”). Once you have earned the number of Redemption Points that corresponds to the total value of the Casino Site Credit during the Release Period (“Wagering Requirements”), your PokerStars Account will be credited with the value of the Casino Site Credit as cash (the “Promotion Bonus”). A “Net Loss” means the difference between any real money winnings (not including any amount wagered using a promotional bonus or site credit) and any loss incurred on the Qualifying Wager, where the total value of the loss exceeds the total value of the winnings.
Upon fulfilling the Wagering Requirements, your PokerStars Account will be instantly credited with the Promotion Bonus. If you do not earn enough Redemption Points to convert the full value of the Casino Site Credit during the Release Period, you will not receive the Promotion Bonus. You will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the Promotion Bonus received, regardless of whether the Promotion Bonus, in whole or in part, is used. The Promotion Bonus value may be reported for tax purposes as required by law.
To qualify for the Promotion, you must have an active real money verified account on pokerstarsnj.com, pokerstarsmi.com, or pokerstarsmtairycasino.com (“PokerStars Account”). Creating a PokerStars Account is free, however, you will be required to verify your identity and agree to the Sponsor’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the relevant website (as set out below). If you do not agree to the relevant website’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, you cannot create a PokerStars Account or participate in the Promotion.

In addition to the eligibility requirements in Section 3, the Sponsor reserves the right to refuse or otherwise restrict your eligibility to participate in the Promotion for any reason, in our sole discretion, including based on your wagering patterns or wagering history or if you failed to take advantage of any previous Sponsor Promotion in good faith. The Promotion is void where prohibited by law. Only Redemption Points earned on real money table and slot casino games (excluding live dealer table games for participants in Pennsylvania) available on the PokerStars casino site (depending on whether you are playing on the www.pokerstarsnj.com, pokerstarsmtairycasino.com or www.pokestarsmi.com website respectively) will contribute to you receiving a Promotion Bonus. Redemption Points earned via sports betting or poker wagering are not relevant to the Promotion.
See Section 4. The Promotion Bonus is not transferable and cannot be substituted except in the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Winnings from wagers placed using the Casino Site Credit may not be withdrawn until they are converted into cash by satisfying the Wagering Requirements. Redemption points are not transferable and cannot be substituted except in the Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Casino Site Credit is used before deposited funds when wagering.
All casino games available on the PokerStars casino site (depending on whether you are playing on the www.pokerstarsnj.com, pokerstarsmtairycasino.com or www.pokestarsmi.com website respectively) during the Promotion Period are eligible to earn the Casino Site Credit (“Eligible Games”).
The Casino Site Credit is non-withdrawable. See Sections 4 and 8 for instructions on how to convert Casino Site Credit to real money capable of being withdrawn. Any unused portion of the Casino Site Credit will be automatically withdrawn from your PokerStars Account 7 days after it was issued. You may withdraw the Promotion Bonus and your deposited funds without penalty at any time.

Administration: The Sponsor expressly reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Promotion at any time without prior notice or consent. Administration of the Promotion is at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. The Sponsor reserves the right to restrict at any time any PokerStars Account holder from participating in the Promotion for any reason. Any questions relating to eligibility, these Terms and Conditions or any other questions concerning the Promotion will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Sponsor and its decisions will be final and binding with respect thereto. No groups, clubs, corporations, companies, partnerships, or organizations may participate in the Promotion or reproduce or distribute any portion of these Terms and Conditions to their members.
Release and Waiver of Liability: By participating in the Promotion and redeeming the Promotion Bonus, you agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, its affiliates, gaming license partners, advertising and promotion agencies, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents from and against any and all liability claims or actions of any kind whatsoever (however named or described) for injuries, death, damages or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with: (i) your participation in the Promotion; and (ii) the receipt, use or misuse of the Promotion Bonus, or while preparing for, participating in, and/or traveling to any Promotion-related activity, including those damages caused by the Sponsor’s own negligence. The Sponsor expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery and/or subsequent use or misuse of the Promotion Bonus. In consideration of the Promotion Bonus, you hereby agree and consent, without further authorization, compensation or remuneration of any kind, to the use by the Sponsor and its affiliates of your name, photograph, likeness (including your voice), biographical information and statements concerning the Promotion, in any and all advertising, promotions and other publicity conducted by the Sponsor and its affiliates.
Governing Law: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Terms and Conditions or the rights and obligations of participants and the Sponsor in connection with the Promotion will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other laws.
Dispute Resolution: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in New York County, New York and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Promotion shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in New York, New York. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms and Conditions will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, New York. The Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of participant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE SPONSOR SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, ECONOMIC, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO REDEMPTION OF THE PROMOTION, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE OR EVEN IF THE SPONSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Miscellaneous: No waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof, nor shall waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of these Terms and Conditions, which will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
