Moreover, they shall cancel and replace any contract (s) previously concluded by the Parties. They shall apply to any access to the Software and any participation by the Player starting from 01/02/2012.

The Player may not claim the application of any other term and condition, whatsoever, as these general terms and conditions of use represent the entire contract between the Player and COVIFIL SA.
We shall reserve the right to amend the general terms and conditions of use, in which case we undertake to announce the new version, and its starting date to the Players via the Site. The Site shall invariably mention the latest update of the general terms and conditions of use. if the date is not amended when the Player "updates" the Site homepage, using the Player's browser, no amendment that might have been made subsequent to the date mentioned on the Site, may be enforceable against the Player.
If, when the homepage update process has been completed, the date of the general terms and conditions of use should be amended, the new version of the general terms and conditions of use shall cancel and replace the earlier version and shall govern any future participation by the Player, starting from their publication.
The Parties shall agree that their relationship shall be governed solely by the general terms and conditions of use, to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions available on a site listed or otherwise by COVIFIL SA or that lists the COVIFIL SA Site.

I hereby definitively confirm my registration" represents an electronic signature.

In the light of the Player's individual, prior and express permission, COVIFIL SA shall, moreover, transfer all or part of the personal data concerning the Player for the benefit of its contractual partners, for canvassing purposes, particularly of a commercial nature. The Player shall be entitled, without any costs and free of charge, to object to the personal data concerning the Player being used for canvassing, particularly of a commercial nature, by COVIFIL SA or its business partners.
The Player shall acknowledge being informed and having agreed to COVIFIL SA providing consolidated statistics about its Players, the games, the pattern of exchanges and information provided on the Site to partners, statistics that nonetheless do not contain any personal data.
The Player shall also agree to COVIFIL SA reproducing the Player's alias on the entity's Site, and in dealings with the entity's partners, when the user wins a competition, earning and/or a prize, in particular a ticket to participate in a physical competition in a MAGICWINS class II gaming arcade, in particular.
Certain website pages may nonetheless feature electronic images or "web beacons", for counting the number of visitor to the page. These web beacons may be used with some of the COVIFIL SA partners, in particular for the purpose of measuring and improving the efficiency of certain operations. The information obtained via these beacons shall be used solely to gather statistics about how often certain site pages are visited. The aim is to be able to offer a better service to the Players.
The Player shall expressly and specifically state the Player's agreement to these uses.
COVIFIL SA shall reserve the right to pass on personal data provided by the user, either to meet a legal obligation, or to apply a judicial or administrative decision.

C. Keeping personal data
The user's personal information shall be kept on COVIFIL SA's games servers. No other third party may have access to the information.
All the data are recorded in secure encrypted files. Should a third party gain access to these files, COVIFIL SA shall undertake to do its utmost to ensure the information on the files remains illegible".
The data shall be kept until the user account is closed, apart from data required to establish proof of a right or a contract that may be archived by COVIFIL SA for a longer period.
The data may be provided to COVIFIL SA service providers in the case of the operation of the storage service.

D. Player's responsibility
The Player must ensure strict maintenance of the confidentiality of the Player's personal data and, in particular, the Player's password.
The Player's storage, use and transfer of the Player's login and password shall be undertaken entirely by the Player and subject to the Player's sole responsibility. The Player shall in particular acknowledge having been warned about the insecurity inherent to the use of the auto memory function of the login details as a result of the Player's computer system and shall acknowledge accepting the entire responsibility for the use and any consequence of such a function.
COVIFIL SA advises the user to refrain from disclosing data concerning the user via e-mail or fax unless COVIFIL SA expressly requests the user to do so. It is up to the user to carefully check beforehand that COVIFIL SA is indeed the one responsible for such requests.
Any use of the Player's login and password shall be considered to have been undertaken or duly authorised by the Player. Consequently, COVIFIL SA may not be held liable for damaging consequences to the Player of unlawful, fraudulent or improper use of the Site login details by a third party not expressly authorised by the Player. The Player alone shall be responsible for preventing access to the Player's account in the event of forgetting the Player's login details (for which recovery procedures are available (art. 5.3)).
Any unlawful use of the Player's login or password should be reported as soon as possible to COVIFIL SA so the entity shall be in a position to terminate the impact of this fraudulent use, subsequent to recording the Player's objection. The same shall apply if the Player should suspect that one of the Player's login details is no longer confidential. The Player's notification of this unauthorised use shall not, however, impose any obligation on COVIFIL SA and the Player shall still be regarded as responsible, in the event the organiser fails to protect against the consequences of such use.
COVIFIL SA shall reserve the right to ask the user to change the latter's login and password if the entity believes these items no longer offer sufficient security. Similarly, COVIFIL SA shall reserve the right, pursuant to art. 8 of this contract, to suspend, temporarily or permanently, the user's access to the Site with the user's login and password should the entity suspect an improper use thereof, and, more generally speaking, in the event of a failure to comply with this Contract.
In any event, COVIFIL SA shall not accept any liability for an improper use of the Player's username or password. Similarly, COVIFIL SA may not be held liable for the failure of the user to personalise the Player's password.
5.4. Player's participation in a physical competition
The Player's participation in a physical competition implies the need to justify the Player's identity to MAGICWINS or the person in charge of the physical competition, providing formal proof of identity.
The regulations governing participation in the games available on the Site shall be applicable to the Player's participation in a physical competition. For example, the Player shall be responsible for ensuring the Player has reached the statutory age for taking part in the physical competition or is not forbidden from taking part in games.
As a result of participating in the competition, the Player shall allow COVIFIL SA the right to use the Player's alias for promotion activities without seeking any compensation.
The Player may be asked to sign an agreement before taking part in the event. The agreement may include permission to be filmed while taking part in the event and for the film to be broadcast The Player's refusal shall terminate the registration process for the Player's participation in the event, without any compensation whatsoever.
During the competition, further regulations concerning the behaviour of the players may be applied. These regulations may lead to penalties that could be as severe as disqualifying the Player, for such acts as using coarse language, insulting members of staff, players or any other person during the event, or any other type of behaviour that COVIFIL SA, at its sole discretion, may believe adversely affects the way the event is organised.
The Player who is penalised of disqualified from the event subsequent to an infringement of these regulations shall refrain from challenging the COVIFIL SA decision and abandon an appeal regarding this matter.

B. Deposit limits
Two types of limits are available on the Website (a) the default deposit limit and (b) the personal deposit limits. The more restrictive limit will apply to the Player.
a) Default deposit limit
Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 25 October 2018 on the conditions for operating games of chance and gambling via computers and of the Royal Decree of 19 June 2022 determining the conditions for the consultation of the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register by the Belgian Gaming Commission and amending the provisions relating to the limitation of online games of chance, the Player is informed of the imposition of a weekly deposit limit pursuant to the said Royal Decree, preventing the Player from depositing more than 200 euros per week into their Player account. The Player has the option of turning off the default deposit limit with the authorization of the Belgian Gaming Commission. However, the player is advised to set their gaming limits based on their financial situation and to always stay within the limit they set themselves.
To turn off the default deposit limit, the Player must go to their Player account settings or the Deposits page and request the removal of the default deposit limit.
COVIFIL immediately brings this request to the attention of the Belgian Gaming Commission in an electronic form.
Within 72 hours (three days) from the receipt of the request, the Belgian Gaming Commission will indicate if the request can be authorized after they have electronically asked the Belgian National Bank if the Player is known to be in default of payment in the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register.
The increase cannot be granted to Players if they are known to be in default of payment in the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register of the Belgian National Bank. The Player will be notified of the Commission’s refusal by COVIFIL.
The Player is also informed that COVIFIL may be legally obliged to cancel the increase of the default deposit limit requested by the Player and initially applied following information from the Belgian Gaming Commission of the registration of the Player in the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register as being in default of payment.
b) Personal deposit limits
As part of COVIFIL raising awareness about responsible gaming and with a view to protecting the Player, the Player can at any time set themselves more restrictive personal deposit limits for all the games of chance and bets in which they take part on the Website. In the event that the Player does not set themselves a personal limit after the default limit has been removed, a €2,000 per week limit will be imposed on the Player.
To do this, the Player goes to their Player account settings where they have the option of setting deposit limits for periods of 24 hours, 7 days or 1 month. A decrease in the Player’s personal deposit limits will have immediate effect.
If the personal deposit limit is increased by the Player, they are informed and unreservedly accept that they will only be able to play with this limit after a 72-hour period following the increase. Then, the Player may decide to reduce their personal deposit limit or to turn back on their default deposit limit by going to their Player account settings.

Article 10 – Miscellaneous
10.1. PLAYING IN AN ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER
COVIFIL SA urges you to play in moderation.
The user should know that playing more and more often and for longer periods of time can lead to a state of dependence or psychological vulnerability.
The user should realise that addiction means inappropriate, persistent and repeated playing. The pleasure of playing changes into an overwhelming need to play and all the adverse implications this has for the Player and the Player's relatives and associates.
The Player may consult the section "PLAYING IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER" at any time, it can be accessed from any of the COVIFIL SA website pages. In this section the Player shall discover a series of moderators available on the Site, advice from the service for combating pathological and excessive gambling and preventing addiction, the opportunity to join the blacklist of gamblers, and the procedure to follow and a list of anti-addiction agencies.
Pursuant to the Gaming Commission (GC) guidelines, entering the Token, the single confirmation code allowing the user to access the gaming applications on the Site www.casino-magic.be (article 3.5.1), results in the setting of a specific upper loss limit for each user above which the user may not access the games playing for real money on the Site www.casino-magic.be.
Accordingly, the GC limits the amount of losses per gaming for each user.
The limit is set in practice at €250 for each 10-gaming period playing for real money on the Site www.casino-magic.be.
When the user logs in to the game software the 10-hour period is equal to 10 hours in real time: 1 minute connected = 1 minute in real time.
When the user is not logged in to the game software, the 10-hour period is equal to 120 hours in real time: 12 minutes disconnected = 1 minute in real time.
Each wager the user makes reduces the upper loss limit authorised for a 10-hour gaming period, while every win the user achieves raises the authorised upper loss limit.
When the user reaches the latter's authorised upper loss limit during a period equal to 10 hours or less, the user may no longer access games playing for real money during a specific period of time: 10 hours – access hours multiplied by 12 or a maximum of 5 days. The GC unilaterally decides on the duration of the period when access to game software at www.casino-magic.be is prohibited.
