General Terms of Use
When a customer signs up with YesPlay, they enter into a legally binding agreement. This agreement comes into effect not only upon registration but continues with every action taken on the platform, including placing bets, making deposits or withdrawals, and using promotional offers.
Customers agree to comply with all the provisions laid out in the Terms, including any updates or amendments that may occur. YesPlay reserves the right to revise its Terms without prior notice. Updated Terms will be posted on the website, and it is the customer’s responsibility to stay informed. Continued usage after such changes implies full acceptance of the new conditions.
These Terms apply not only to South African citizens but to all users within South African jurisdiction, including foreign nationals who access the site from within the country.
Legal Binding and Regulatory Compliance
YesPlay’s operations are strictly governed by the laws of South Africa, and all betting transactions are regulated under applicable national and provincial legislation. Customers are expected to remain aware of the legal landscape and comply with all current laws when using the platform.
A failure by YesPlay to enforce any term does not amount to a waiver of that term. Likewise, tolerance of any breach does not set a precedent for future behavior. If any clause within the Terms is deemed unenforceable by a court, the rest of the agreement remains valid.
Disputes that arise between customers and YesPlay must be resolved under South African legal jurisdiction, and all parties agree to submit to the authority of South African courts.
Data Protection and FICA Compliance
As part of its legal obligations, YesPlay adheres to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), which enforces standards to combat money laundering, fraud, and underage gambling.
All customers must undergo identity verification. The platform will request the submission of valid documents before allowing full access to betting services or processing withdrawals. Accepted forms of identification include:
- South African green ID book or smart ID card
- Valid passport
- Valid South African driver’s licence
YesPlay retains the right to suspend or terminate any account that fails to comply with FICA verification. All information collected during this process is protected under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and used solely for verification and legal compliance purposes.
Use of YesPlay’s Website and Services
YesPlay’s services are accessible through both desktop and mobile platforms, allowing customers to engage in betting on a wide range of products such as:
- Local and international sports
- Lottery draws from various countries
- Live casino games and fixed-odds betting
Strictly no person under the age of 18 is permitted to open an account or place bets. The platform actively conducts age verification checks, and if a customer cannot provide proof of age, their account may be suspended or closed immediately.
Any misuse of the platform—such as fraudulent betting, bonus abuse, or identity theft—will lead to permanent banning and possible legal action.
Customer Responsibilities
As a user, you carry several key responsibilities, including:
- Keeping an accurate and up-to-date record of all transactions
- Ensuring that personal and banking information provided is truthful and current
- Familiarising yourself with the platform’s full Terms and Conditions, as well as any promotional or betting-specific rules
- Using the platform exclusively for legal, responsible betting activities
You may not allow others to use your account, and you must ensure the security of your login credentials. Any suspected breach must be reported immediately to YesPlay support.
Non-compliance can result in actions ranging from warnings to permanent account closure and reporting to regulatory authorities.
Liability and Disclaimer
YesPlay provides its services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While the company strives for accuracy in odds, content, and game results, it does not guarantee that information will be free from errors or that service interruptions will not occur.
Customers accept that:
- YesPlay is not liable for losses, including financial, that arise from service outages or software malfunctions
- The use of the platform is entirely at the customer’s own risk
- Any loss of data, delayed results, or incorrect odds cannot be attributed to YesPlay’s liability
By using the service, you agree to waive any claim for compensation against the operator arising from such issues.
Enforcement and Legal Standing
YesPlay is committed to enforcing its Terms strictly and transparently. If a dispute arises that cannot be resolved through internal channels, it will be escalated to South African legal courts.
Each clause in the Terms is treated independently. If a provision is rendered invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the agreement still stands, ensuring contractual continuity.
Customers are encouraged to reach out via [email protected] for clarification or to request the most recent version of the Terms.
