Terms & Conditions

These Terms govern your relationship with the operator of the website located at https://sportiyms.com, including the "Sportium" section, and set out the conditions under which you may access and use its content and services. Effective date: 6 November 2025 (current and intended to remain applicable throughout 2026 unless replaced or updated).

The "Sportium" section is designed for users located in the United Kingdom and provides informational and comparative content about the Sportium brand and its gambling services operated from other jurisdictions. It does not offer, operate or promote any real-money gambling services to UK residents and does not hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. By using the site, you confirm that you understand these limitations and agree to be bound by these Terms.

Definitions (System 2 Analysis)

For the purposes of these Terms, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:

Operator means the legal entity that owns and operates sportiyms.com, including the "Sportium" section. The Operator provides informational, comparison and editorial content and does not itself provide UK-licensed real-money gambling services.
Website means the online service available at https://sportiyms.com, including all sub-pages, content areas and features such as the "Sportium" section.
Sportium means the Sportium-focused information section of the Website intended for users located in the United Kingdom, where Sportium is presented as an example and comparison brand only.
Sportium means the gambling brand operated in other jurisdictions (including under Spanish licences 26-11/G/A65640252/SGR and 27-11/GO/A65640252/SGR issued to SPORTIUM APUESTAS DIGITAL, S.A. by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego) and not licensed to provide gambling services in the United Kingdom.
User, you or Player means any natural person who accesses or uses the Website for any purpose, including browsing, reading reviews, following outbound links or using any informational tools.
Account means any user account you may create on the Website (for example to save favourites, subscribe to newsletters or access optional tools). It does not represent a gambling wallet or gambling account.
Bet or Wager means any real-money stake placed on a gambling product (such as sports betting, casino games or slots) with a gambling operator. On this Website, Bets and Wagers are discussed only for informational purposes in relation to third-party operators such as Sportium.
Bonus means any promotional offer, including free bets, matched deposits, free spins, cashback or similar incentives offered by a gambling operator. The Website may describe such Bonuses offered by Sportium or other brands in non-UK markets, but does not itself grant or manage Bonuses.

Third-Party Operator means any external gambling business, including Sportium, that is not owned or controlled by the Operator and that provides real-money gambling services under licences issued in other jurisdictions (for example Spain or Colombia).
Prohibited Jurisdiction means any country or territory where accessing or using a particular gambling service would be unlawful or contrary to the operator's licence conditions. For Sportium, this includes the United Kingdom for consumer-facing online gambling as of January 2025.
Content means any text, data, graphics, logos, trademarks, reviews, odds comparisons, software, tools, photographs, audio, video or other material available on the Website.

Account Registration (System 2 Analysis)

The Website may allow you to create an Account for enhanced features (such as personalised content, newsletters or saved comparisons). Accounts on sportiyms.com are strictly non-gambling accounts and cannot be used to place Bets or hold gambling funds.

Eligibility and Age Verification (CCoT Optimised)

Age requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to create and use an Account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts under the laws of England and Wales or your country of residence.
Jurisdictional restrictions: The "Sportium" content is designed for users located in the UK. However, it describes gambling services operated from other jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for ensuring that accessing such information and any linked Third-Party Operator is lawful from your location. The Operator does not permit or encourage UK residents to open real-money gambling accounts with unlicensed operators, including Sportium.
KYC and verification: The Operator may, at its discretion, request verification documents (such as proof of identity or address) to confirm your age or to comply with anti-money laundering, sanctions or fraud-prevention obligations, even though it does not provide gambling services. Failure to provide accurate and complete information may lead to refusal, suspension or closure of your Account.

Registration Process and User Obligations

Registration details: When creating an Account, you must provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information (such as your name, email address and country of residence). You agree to update this information promptly if it changes.
Login credentials: You must keep your username, password and any other security credentials confidential and must not share them with any third party. You remain responsible for all activity carried out through your Account, whether authorised by you or not.
One account per person: Unless expressly authorised, you may hold only one Account on the Website. Duplicate or fraudulent Accounts may be closed, and associated access may be blocked.
Prohibited uses: You must not use the Website or any Account to circumvent geo-blocking, to promote or facilitate unlicensed gambling in the UK, to engage in fraud, or to automate access (for example by bots or scraping) without our consent.
Informational nature: Any description of deposits, withdrawals, Bets or Bonuses on sportiyms.com is provided for informational and comparative purposes only and does not create any contractual relationship between you and Sportium or any other Third-Party Operator.

Betting & Gameplay Rules (System 2 Analysis)

The Website does not operate any betting platform and does not accept Wagers. This section explains how betting and gameplay are typically structured with Third-Party Operators, including Sportium, and sets out behavioural rules when you interact with any interactive elements (such as comments, chats or free-to-play tools) on the Website.

Informational Nature and Prohibition for UK Real-Money Play

No UK licence: According to publicly available information up to January 2025, Sportium does not hold an active UK Gambling Commission remote licence and must not provide real-money gambling services to UK residents. Any references to Sportium's betting products, including its omnichannel "Sportium UNO" system and 3,000+ retail betting shops in Spain, are for information only.
Geo-fencing and VPN use: Sportium and similar operators typically apply IP geo-blocking and "Prohibited Jurisdictions" clauses. UK residents who attempt to bypass such measures (for example by using a VPN, foreign address or side-loaded app) may breach those terms and risk confiscation of funds and immediate account closure. The Operator does not endorse or accept responsibility for such behaviour.
Retail and app access: Sportium's retail betting shops are located outside the UK (notably in Spain), and its mobile apps are region-locked and not available in the UK app stores. Side-loading an Android APK or otherwise circumventing regional restrictions is at your own risk and may be unlawful or contrary to operator terms.

Typical Rules for Placing Bets (Informational)

Stake limits: Third-Party Operators generally apply minimum and maximum stake limits per Bet or Wager, which can vary by sport, market, game type or customer risk profile. These limits are set by the operator and may differ from those described on the Website over time.
Bet types: Common bet types include singles, accumulators, system bets, live in-play bets and virtual games, as well as online casino games such as slots (for example "Book of Dead"), roulette or blackjack. The specific rules, payout tables and house margins for each product are defined by the operator's own terms and game rules.
Acceptance, settlement and results: A Bet is typically considered accepted once it appears in the operator's transaction history and is confirmed by an electronic ticket. Settlement is based on official results published by relevant sports bodies or game providers. In case of discrepancies, the Third-Party Operator's decision, subject to its regulator, usually prevails.

Cancellation, Modification and Conduct Rules

Bet cancellations: Most operators do not allow cancellation or modification of accepted Bets unless there is an obvious error (for example wrong price or event) or a technical failure. Any such decisions are made solely by the Third-Party Operator and not by the Operator of this Website.
Live chats and community tools: Where the Website offers comments, reviews or other interactive tools, you must behave respectfully and lawfully. Insults, harassment, hate speech, threats, promotion of illegal gambling, attempts to defraud users or operators, and sharing of private or financial data are strictly prohibited.
Game fairness and verification: Random number generation, return-to-player (RTP) settings and fairness controls for games offered by Sportium or other operators are regulated by their respective authorities (for example the DGOJ in Spain or Coljuegos in Colombia). The Operator does not control or audit those systems but may reference independent certifications where available.
Responsible gambling: All betting involves risk of loss. The Website encourages UK users to gamble only with properly UK-licensed operators and to use tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion where available. For support in the UK, you may consult independent organisations such as GamCare or similar services.

Bonus Terms (System 2 Analysis)

The Website may describe Bonuses and promotional offers made available by Third-Party Operators, including Sportium in its licensed jurisdictions. These descriptions are informational and indicative only and do not constitute an offer by the Operator. You must always refer to the relevant Third-Party Operator's own bonus terms and ensure that any participation is lawful from your location.

Bonus Activation and Wagering Requirements

Eligibility and activation: Bonuses generally require you to meet specific conditions, such as registering a new account, entering a bonus code, opting in or making a qualifying deposit. Operators may restrict Bonuses by country, language, payment method or device. UK residents should note that Sportium promotions are intended for other markets and are not designed for UK-based players.
Wagering requirements: Most Bonuses are subject to wagering (for example a 30x turnover of the bonus amount) within a defined timeframe. Until these requirements are met, associated funds may be locked and withdrawals restricted. Wagering may apply to bonus funds only, or to both deposit and bonus, depending on the operator.
Time limits and expiry: Bonuses and free spins usually expire after a set period (for example 7 - 30 days) if the wagering requirements are not met. Expired Bonuses and any attached winnings may be forfeited. The Operator does not guarantee that publicly stated timeframes remain current and you must verify them on the operator's site.

Prohibited Games, Actions and Bonus Abuse

Game restrictions: Operators frequently exclude certain games (for example some low-volatility slots, jackpot games or certain table games) from counting fully towards wagering, or they may cap the contribution percentage. Attempts to circumvent these rules may lead to confiscation of bonus funds.
Prohibited strategies: Commonly prohibited behaviours include placing minimal-risk bets, using arbitrage or matched-betting patterns, colluding with other players, creating multiple accounts or using VPNs to claim country-specific promotions. Such actions may be considered bonus abuse under operator terms.
Combining promotions: Some operators restrict the ability to combine Bonuses or run them concurrently. In these cases, claiming one promotion may forfeit another, or winnings from multiple overlapping Bonuses may be limited.

UK-Specific Risk and Disclaimer

No UK bonus entitlement: As Sportium has no active UKGC licence as of January 2025, UK residents are not legally entitled to its promotions, and any attempt to claim them using non-UK details or VPNs may breach its "Prohibited Jurisdictions" rules.
Risk of confiscation: Operators may void Bonuses, cancel winnings and close accounts if they detect that an account is controlled from a prohibited jurisdiction, including the UK. The Website does not control or influence such decisions and accepts no responsibility for losses incurred.
Informational only: Any bonus calculators, examples or comparisons on sportiyms.com are illustrative and may be based on non-UK markets such as Spain, Colombia or Panama. They are not personalised financial or legal advice and should not be relied upon as a basis for gambling decisions.

Payments & Withdrawals (System 2 Analysis)

The Operator does not itself accept deposits, process withdrawals or hold gambling funds on behalf of Users. Any references in this section to payments, withdrawals or transaction methods relate to typical practices of Third-Party Operators such as Sportium and are provided for information only.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods (Informational)

Supported methods (non-UK markets): Based on available information up to January 2025, Sportium typically supports payment methods such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal (for Spanish-registered accounts), Bizum (a Spanish local payment solution), Neteller and Skrill. Availability can depend on the user's country and specific product.
Processing times: E-wallet withdrawals are often processed within approximately 6 - 24 hours once approved, while card withdrawals may take around 2 - 5 business days depending on the issuing bank and intermediary processors. These timings are indicative and not guaranteed by the Operator of this Website.
Currency and FX fees: Sportium is generally EUR (€)-denominated and does not support GBP (£). UK-based customers attempting to transact would likely incur foreign exchange fees of around 2 - 3% per transaction, subject to their bank or payment provider's terms.

UK Banking Constraints and Legal Considerations

Unlicensed merchant risk: UK banks and card issuers may block or challenge transactions coded under gambling merchant category code (MCC) 7995 if they relate to unlicensed or geo-blocked operators. Transactions to Sportium from the UK may therefore be declined, reversed or queried.
Prohibited Jurisdictions clauses: Where a Third-Party Operator's terms prohibit access from the UK, deposits and winnings may be voided if it is later discovered that you were resident in or accessing from the UK. This can include situations where VPNs, foreign addresses or third-party intermediaries are used.
No custody of funds: The Operator of sportiyms.com does not receive, hold or safeguard gambling balances for any User. Any financial relationship exists solely between you and the relevant Third-Party Operator, and any disputes about payments or withdrawals must be addressed directly to that operator.

Refunds and Chargebacks

Website-related payments: If the Operator ever offers paid, non-gambling services on the Website (for example premium analytical tools or subscriptions), such payments and any refund rights will be governed by the specific product terms provided at the point of purchase and by applicable consumer law.
Gambling-related disputes: Disputes concerning deposits, withdrawals or transaction reversals with Sportium or other operators fall outside the Operator's control. The Operator cannot intervene, reverse transactions or guarantee any outcome.
Chargeback consequences: Initiating a chargeback with your bank in relation to a Third-Party Operator may lead to closure of your gambling account and potential blacklisting by that operator. You should carefully review the operator's terms and seek independent advice before pursuing chargebacks.

Limitation of Liability (System 2 Analysis)

This section explains how the Operator limits its legal responsibility in connection with your use of the Website and its content. It does not affect any mandatory rights you may have under UK consumer law, which take precedence over these Terms where they cannot be lawfully excluded.

Operator's Obligations and Fairness

Reasonable care: The Operator uses reasonable care and skill in providing the Website, aiming to ensure that information about Sportium and other operators (including licensing data, payment methods and security features such as TLS 1.3 encryption or ISO 27001 certifications held by Cirsa) is accurate and up to date as of the dates stated.
No guarantee of accuracy: Regulatory statuses, payment options, bonus structures and technical specifications can change frequently. The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and the Operator does not guarantee that any Content is complete, current or free from errors or omissions.

Exclusions of Liability

Indirect and consequential loss: To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, reputational damage or loss of opportunity arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website or reliance on its Content.

Third-party gambling losses: The Operator accepts no responsibility for any losses you incur when gambling with Sportium or other Third-Party Operators, including where such losses arise from inaccurate information, geo-blocking, currency conversion, account closure or bonus confiscation.

Liability Cap and Non-Excludable Rights

Maximum compensation: Subject to mandatory legal rights, the Operator's total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with the Website and these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (i) the total amount (if any) you have paid directly to the Operator for non-gambling services during the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (ii) £50. The Operator does not hold Bets or Wagers, and no additional liability arises in respect of any Bet you place with a Third-Party Operator.
Non-excludable liability: Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

Grounds for Blocking or Closing an Account

Breaches of Terms: The Operator may suspend or close your Account, or restrict your access to parts of the Website, if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, including by engaging in abusive behaviour, unauthorised automated access or intellectual property infringement.
Fraud, misuse and unlawful activity: The Operator may block or terminate access where it reasonably suspects fraud, misuse of the Website, attempts to promote or facilitate unlicensed gambling in the UK, use of VPNs or proxies to misrepresent your location, or other unlawful activity.
Regulatory or risk-based reasons: The Operator may restrict access from certain jurisdictions (including the UK or parts of it) or IP ranges where required by law, regulator guidance, contractual obligations with third parties or its own risk policies, even though the Website itself is informational.

Effects of Termination and Funds

Account deactivation: Upon closure of your Account, your access to any personalised features will cease, and the Operator may delete or anonymise stored data, subject to legal retention obligations.
No gambling funds held: Because the Operator does not hold gambling funds, termination of your Account on sportiyms.com does not affect any balances held with Third-Party Operators. You must contact Sportium or other relevant operators directly to resolve any such issues.
User-initiated closure: You may request closure of your Account at any time by contacting the Operator. The Operator will act on such requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to necessary verification and legal retention requirements.
