Terms of Service & Community Standards

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein Stars Mobile grants the User a non-exclusive, personal, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the Software on your Device, as the case may be, in order to use PokerStars VR in accordance with its intended functionality and this Agreement and play the PM Games (the “Games”) available on PokerStars VR (the Software and Games together being the “Service”).

The Software is licensed to you by Stars Mobile for your private personal use. Please note that the Service is not for use by individuals: (i) under 18 years of age, (ii) under the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction and (iii) connecting to the Sites and/or PokerStars VR from jurisdictions from which it is illegal to do so or from which the PM Games are not offered. Stars Mobile is not able to verify the legality of the Service in each jurisdiction and it is the User's responsibility to ensure that their use of the Service is lawful.

We reserve the right at any time to request from you evidence of age in order to ensure that minors are not using the Service. We further reserve the right to suspend or cancel your account and exclude you, temporarily or permanently, from using the Service if satisfactory proof of age is not provided or if we suspect that you are underage.

You warrant that any names or images used by you in connection with the Service (for example, your user name and avatar) shall not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party. You hereby grant Stars Mobile and the rest of Flutter Group a worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, royalty free, sublicensable license to use such names and images for any purpose connected with the Service, subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy.

While using the Service, you may “earn” or otherwise use virtual chips within the Service (the “Virtual Chips”). You hereby acknowledge that these “real world” terms are only used figuratively, and you agree that you have no right or title in Virtual Chips appearing or originating in any Game, whether “earned” in a Game or otherwise accrued from Stars Mobile, or any other attributes associated within an account or stored on the Service. Any “virtual currency” balance shown in your User account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license.

Stars Mobile prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of Virtual Chips effectuated outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything that appears or originates in the Service, unless otherwise expressly authorized by Stars Mobile in writing. Accordingly you may not sublicense, trade, sell, or attempt to sell Virtual Chips for value of any kind outside of a Game. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void and may subject your account to termination by Stars Mobile. In addition, you acknowledge that we may commence legal action against you for any harm done by such transfer or attempted transfer of Virtual Chips outside of the Service.

Stars Mobile disclaims any and all warranties, expressed or implied, in connection with the Service which is provided to you “AS IS” and we provide you with no warranty or representation whatsoever regarding its quality, fitness for purpose, completeness or accuracy.

Regardless of our efforts to provide you with service of the highest quality, safety and security, we make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that the Software and the Sites shall be free from viruses, bugs or other contaminants.

Stars Mobile reserves the right to suspend, discontinue, modify, remove or add to the Service in its absolute discretion with immediate effect and without an obligation to provide you with notice where we consider it necessary to do so, including (for example) where we receive information that you have entered into any self-exclusion agreement with any gambling provider or where we deem it necessary for the management, maintenance or update of the Software and we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss suffered as a consequence of any decision made by Stars Mobile in this regard.

Stars Mobile retains authority over the issuing, maintenance, and closing of Users' accounts on the Service. The decision of Stars Mobile's management, as regards any aspect of a User's account, use of the Service, or dispute resolution, is final and shall not be open to review or appeal.

your use of the Service is at your sole option, discretion and risk;

the telecommunications networks and Internet access services required for you to access and use the Service are entirely beyond the control of Stars Mobile and Stars Mobile shall have no liability whatsoever for any outages, slowness, capacity constraints or other deficiencies affecting the same;

you are prohibited from using the Service in any way to create, receive or facilitate the transfer or receipt of any financial gain or other pecuniary advantage to you or any third party (whether or not acting on your behalf). Virtual Chips have no value in and of themselves and are not transferable and exchangeable within a User account. Further, such Virtual Chips have no value in themselves and are not redeemable for any ‘real’ currency or prize. Thus you are prohibited from sublicensing, renting, leasing, selling, trading, gifting, bequeathing or otherwise transferring your User account or any Virtual Chips associated with your User account to a third person; and

you are aged 18 or over and that you are not currently self-excluded from any online or mobile gambling site and that you will inform us immediately if you enter into a self-exclusion agreement with any gambling provider.

SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS. User may not attempt to modify, decompile, reverse-engineer or disassemble the Software in any way.

PERSONAL USE. The Service is intended solely for the User's personal use and entertainment and not for money and must not in any way be used to create any financial gain or other pecuniary advantage to you. The User must provide full and truthful information in respect of all details and information provided by the User to Stars Mobile and the User is obligated to update such details in the event of any change thereto.

COLLUSION. Collusion between Users by sharing hole cards or by any other methods is strictly forbidden. Stars Mobile reserves the right, in addition to other measures, to restrict seating and/or to prohibit Users from playing at a particular poker table, including restricting two or more Users from playing together at the same table. In addition, Stars Mobile reserves the right to consider any collusion or attempt at collusion between players (including Users) as a material breach of this Agreement and accordingly Stars Mobile shall have the right to terminate a User's account if a User engages or attempts to engage in any such activity, regardless of the outcome of such attempt.

EXTERNAL PLAYER ASSISTANCE TOOLS. Stars Mobile prohibits external player assistance tools (“EPA Tools”) that are designed to provide an “unfair advantage” to players. Stars Mobile defines EPA Tools as computer software (other than the Software), and non-software-based systems (e.g. websites, subscription services and physical material). Stars Mobile takes a broad view of what constitutes an “unfair advantage” in the context of any use of EPA Tools and specific guidance can be found in our Third Party Tools and Services Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, what is prohibited encompasses but is not limited to accessing or compiling information on other players beyond that which the User has personally observed through the User's own game play or receiving advice, direction or assistance on how to play, in real time that goes beyond a basic level.

AUTOMATIC PLAYERS (BOTS). The use of artificial intelligence including, without limitation, “robots” is strictly forbidden in connection with the Service. All actions taken in relation to the Service by a User must be executed personally by players through the user interface accessible by use of the Software, and without the assistance of any form of artificial intelligence.

EPA PREVENTION. You agree that Stars Mobile may take steps to detect and prevent the use of prohibited EPA Tools. These steps may include, but are not limited to, examination of software programs running concurrently with the Stars Mobile Software on the User's computer. You agree that you will not attempt to bypass, interfere with, or block such steps, including, without limitation, the use of third party software that bypasses, interferes with, or blocks such steps.

CHIP-DUMPING. Chip-dumping occurs when any User intentionally loses a poker hand in order to deliberately transfer his Virtual Chips to another User. Any User who participates or attempts to participate in chip-dumping with any other User, while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service and their User account may be terminated immediately. In such circumstances Stars Mobile will be under no obligation to return to you any Virtual Chips that may be in your User account at such time.

The User is prohibited from posting or stating any unlawful, indecent, racist, obscene, libelous, defamatory or threatening material or any material that would violate any law or generally be considered to be offensive, via the Service whether using the voice chat function, the player images option, in correspondence with Stars Mobile staff or any other part of the Service.

In order to ensure compliance with this clause 6.1, we may actively monitor the voice chat function, with such monitoring including the use of technology.

Without prejudice to any other rights, if a User breaches in whole or in part any provision contained herein, Stars Mobile or any other company within Flutter Group which provides services to the User reserves the right to take such action as it sees fit, including terminating this Agreement or any other agreement in place with the User, immediately blocking the User’s access to the Service or to any other service offered by Flutter Group, terminating such User's account on the Service or on any other Service operated by Flutter Group, seizing all Virtual Chips held in the User’s account on the Service or on any other site operated by Flutter Group and/or taking legal action against such User.

Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall Stars Mobile or any other member of Flutter Group be liable for any special, incidental, direct, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use (or misuse) of the Service even if Stars Mobile had prior knowledge of the possibility of such damages.

Any unauthorized use of the login credentials shall be the sole responsibility of the User and be deemed as his/her use. Any liability therefrom shall be that of the User.

A User may only have one User account with Stars Mobile and shall only use the Service using such single account. It is prohibited for a User to open multiple accounts with Stars Mobile. In the event that Stars Mobile (or any third party acting on its behalf) becomes aware of additional accounts opened by a User, Stars Mobile (or such third party acting on its behalf) may close such additional accounts without notice and may confiscate Virtual Chips held in such additional accounts.

You will not be able to place any bets (with Virtual Chips) using the Service in an amount greater than the total amount of Virtual Chips in your User account.
