These Terms apply to your use of any games, products, software, or services offered through the Yukon Gold Casino website (yukongold.casino) (the “Service”).

1.2. Agreement Acceptance: By creating an account, depositing funds, and/or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and unequivocally agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Service.

1.4. Revisions to Terms: Yukon Gold Casino reserves the right to amend, modify, or revise any part of these Terms at its sole discretion at any time. While we may notify Players of significant changes via their registered email address, it is your sole responsibility to periodically review this page for updates. Your continued use of the Service following any amendments constitutes your binding acceptance of the revised Terms.

1.5. Language: This Agreement is drafted in English. Any translations into other languages are provided as a convenience. In the case of any discrepancy or ambiguity between the English version and a translated version, the English version shall always prevail.

1.6. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, in a manner that best reflects the original intent.

2. About The Casino and Regulatory Information

2.1. Operator: Yukon Gold Casino is authorized to operate the yukongold.casino website. All services are provided under the rules and regulations of its licensing authority.

2.2. Not a Financial Institution: Yukon Gold Casino is not a bank or financial institution. Consequently:
* Funds held in your Casino account do not accrue interest. This applies to all balances, including deposits, winnings, and pending withdrawals.
* We do not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Players in New Zealand seeking advice on the tax implications of their winnings are advised to consult with a qualified local financial advisor or tax professional.
* Using the Casino for currency arbitrage is strictly prohibited. Any Player found to be deliberately exploiting currency exchange fluctuations for financial gain will have all such gains forfeited and deducted from their balance without notice.

3. Player Eligibility and Participation in New Zealand

3.1. Jurisdiction: The Service is offered to Players residing in New Zealand. You accept sole responsibility for determining the legality of using our Service within your jurisdiction and for your gaming activity. The availability of our Service in New Zealand does not constitute an offer or invitation by us to use the Service in any jurisdiction in which such use is illegal.

3.2. Age Requirement: Participation in the Casino is strictly forbidden for individuals under the age of 20 years old, which is the legal age for casino gambling in New Zealand.
* We reserve the right to perform age verification checks (electronic or otherwise) at any time.
* Any account found to be operated by a Player under the age of 20 will be immediately terminated, all deposits may be returned, and any accrued winnings will be forfeited to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
* We shall not be held liable for any fraudulent account creation by an individual under the legal gambling age.

4. Your Casino Account

4.1. Registration Accuracy: All information provided during the account registration process must be accurate, truthful, and complete. This includes your legal name, date of birth, residential address in New Zealand, email, and phone number.

4.2. Single Account Rule: Each Player is permitted to open and operate only one (1) account. If we identify a Player with multiple accounts, we reserve the right to suspend or close all associated accounts. Any winnings, bonuses, or loyalty points accrued across multiple accounts may be confiscated. This rule also prohibits the repeated claiming of sign-up bonuses through different accounts.

4.3. Account Security:
* You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login details (username and password). Any activity conducted through your account where the correct login details have been used will be considered valid.
* If you enable biometric login (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition), you must ensure that only your biometrics are registered on the device. We are not responsible for verifying the ownership of the biometrics used.
* You must immediately notify the Casino Support Centre if you suspect any unauthorized use, theft, or breach of your account security.
* Disclosing your login details to any third party is a breach of these Terms and may result in the suspension or closure of your account.

4.4. Account Updates: It is your responsibility to keep your personal information up to date. Please contact the Casino Support Centre to update your address, email, or other contact details.

4.5. Account Dormancy: An account is deemed “dormant” if it has not registered a log-in, wager, deposit, or withdrawal for a period at the Casino’s discretion. To protect player funds, after a maximum of 60 days of inactivity, any remaining cash balance may be removed from the account. Bonus funds will be forfeited. The cash balance can be reinstated upon request, provided you successfully pass security and identity verification.

4.6. Account Closure: You may request to close your account at any time by contacting the Casino Support Centre. The Casino reserves the right to suspend or close a Player’s account at its sole discretion, for reasons including but not limited to fraudulent activity or breach of these Terms.

5. Verification Procedure (KYC)

5.1. Mandatory Checks: In compliance with international anti-money laundering regulations and principles aligned with New Zealand’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act), we reserve the right to request verification documents at any time, particularly following deposits and before processing withdrawals.

5.3. Document Standards: All documents must be clear, legible, and unedited. Failure to provide satisfactory documentation may result in the suspension of your account and the delay or cancellation of your withdrawal request. If we suspect fraudulent or tampered documents have been provided, your account will be closed, and any balance may be confiscated.
