Please read this document carefully before utilizing the BetOnline Poker client, creating an account, or participating in real-money wagering.

Welcome to BetOnline Poker. By accessing, downloading, installing, or utilizing the poker client software, web-browser interface, or mobile applications provided by BetOnline, you agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions. This is a legally binding agreement between you (the "Player" or "User") and the operators of the Chico Poker Network. If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, you must immediately cease use of our services.
To participate in any real-money ring games, multi-table tournaments (MTTs), Sit & Go's, or Windfall jackpots on the BetOnline Poker platform, you must meet strict eligibility requirements. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal age of majority in your governing jurisdiction—whichever is strictly higher. It is your sole responsibility to ascertain the legality of online poker in your specific region before depositing funds.
Players are strictly limited to one (1) account per person, household, IP address, and device. Any attempt to create multiple accounts to circumvent limits, claim multiple welcome bonuses, or gain an unfair advantage in tournament fields will result in the immediate and permanent closure of all associated accounts, alongside the forfeiture of all associated bankrolls. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential; BetOnline Poker holds no liability for unauthorized access resulting from player negligence.
As a global leader in online gaming, BetOnline Poker provides various fiat and digital asset payment gateways. By funding your account, you confirm that all funds are legally obtained and that you are the authorized user of the credit card, bank account, or cryptocurrency wallet utilized.
We pride ourselves on our Crypto Poker Payment Revolution. When you deposit via Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), or other supported digital assets, you acknowledge the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets. All cryptocurrency deposits are converted into fiat (USD) at the exact market rate at the time the blockchain transaction receives the required network confirmations. Withdrawals processed via cryptocurrency will be calculated based on the exchange rate at the time of the payout execution.
To comply with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) directives, all deposited funds must be subjected to a 1x rollover requirement on the poker tables, sportsbook, or casino before a withdrawal request will be honored. Furthermore, BetOnline Poker reserves the right to request Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation, including government-issued ID and utility bills, prior to processing large withdrawals or cryptocurrency payouts.
The 100% Matched Welcome Bonus is available exclusively to new accounts making their first-ever deposit. To activate the bonus, the User must input the promo code POKER1000 precisely into the cashier during the funding process. The minimum qualifying deposit is $50, and the maximum matched amount is $,1000.
Bonus funds are not credited instantly to your playable bankroll. Instead, the welcome bonus is locked and released in $5 increments directly into your real-money balance every time you generate $50 in rake contribution at cash game tables or tournament buy-in fees. Players have exactly 30 days from the time of the initial deposit to clear as much of the bonus as possible. Any uncleared bonus funds remaining after 30 days will expire and be removed from the account.
The integrity of the game is our highest priority. BetOnline Poker strictly prohibits any form of cheating, collusion, chip dumping, or the use of automated playing software (bots). While we believe in a pro-player environment and allow the use of designated Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) and tracking software like PokerTracker 4 and Hold'em Manager 3 (via approved converters), we draw a hard line against Real-Time Assistance (RTA).
Our dedicated security team monitors hand histories, mouse movements, and betting patterns 24/7. If BetOnline Poker determines, at its sole discretion, that a User has engaged in any prohibited software use or malicious gameplay, we reserve the right to confiscate all account balances to refund affected players.
In the unpredictable environment of online gaming, internet connections can fail. If a User is disconnected during a cash game hand, they will be given a standard timebank to reconnect. If they fail to do so, their hand will be folded (if facing a bet) or checked (if no bet is pending). BetOnline Poker does not assume responsibility for losses incurred due to a User's local hardware or ISP failure.
In the rare event of a network-wide server crash originating from the Chico Poker Network, BetOnline Poker will pause all active tournaments and cash games. If the server cannot be restored in a timely manner, tournaments will be cancelled, and prize pools will be refunded according to our standard Rollback Policy (typically refunding buy-ins to players eliminated before the crash, and distributing the remaining prize pool based on chip counts for active players).
The BetOnline Poker software, client interface, website layout, graphics, sounds, algorithms, and associated branding are protected by international copyright laws and are the exclusive property of BetOnline and its licensors. Users are granted a non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable license to use the software solely for participating in our real-money and play-money games. Reverse-engineering, modifying, decompiling, or attempting to extract the source code of the poker client is explicitly forbidden.
Under no circumstances shall BetOnline Poker, its directors, employees, or affiliated network partners be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the poker client. The software and services are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind regarding continuous uptime, error-free operation, or the variance inherent to the mathematics of poker.
You acknowledge that playing real-money poker involves financial risk. BetOnline Poker is not responsible for any bankroll losses, bad beats, downswings, or financial distress resulting from your participation on the tables.
We reserve the right to amend, alter, or update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Significant changes to rake structures, promotional rules, or banking limits will be communicated via email or site announcements, but it remains the User's responsibility to periodically review this document. Continued use of the BetOnline Poker client following any changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator is licensed.
