If you request a withdrawal and change your mind before it is processed, you may reverse the withdrawal and continue playing with those credits. If you have withdrawals that can be reversed they will show up in the cashier when you try to make a deposit.

If you are asked to verify your identity, you will only be asked once.
5. ADDING MORE GAMES

A selection of some of the most popular games are included in your initial download. To download more free games, just keep playing at the casino and the rest of the games will download in the background without interfering with your play. If there is a specific game that you want to play, but it is not immediately available, click on the game icon. This game will begin downloading immediately. You can close the pop-up box that appears and continue playing other games while you wait for your chosen game to be downloaded. You can monitor the download progress by watching the progress bar that will appear across the game icon. Please note that the download time is dependent on the speed of your Internet connection.

The speed of your downloads depends on your Internet connection. Players with dial-up connections may have to wait several minutes for a game to download while those with high-speed connections will only need to wait seconds.
The size of the games varies, and some games will take longer than others to download. Video slots and i-slots are the largest games and they will take longest. The rest of the games should download in under a minute.
Once a game has been downloaded it is saved on your computer and doesn't need to be downloaded again unless it is updated.

9. GAME PLAY
9.1 What are my chances of winning?
The payouts of our games vary. All games results are determined by Rival's cryptographically secure random number generator which has been independently tested and confirmed to provide suitably random sequences of numbers. Independent auditors audit payouts from time to time. Depending on the game, the system may use a single deck or multiple decks that are shuffled before every wager.
9.2 What happens if I lose my connection to the gaming server?
If the gaming server received the bet it will be recorded and the result will be displayed after your Internet connection comes back. If the gaming server does not receive the bet you will either see the result of your previous bet or you will be asked to complete the unfinished bet.
9.3 Why do the slot wheels just keep spinning and don't stop?
This is caused by poor Internet performance. The results from the server are not reaching your computer so the slot wheels just keep spinning because they have not received the message telling them when and where to stop. If you close the program and run it again you will be refreshed to the last known position.
9.4 Why does the Roulette ball just keep spinning and doesn't stop?
This is caused by poor Internet performance. The results from the server are not reaching your computer, so the roulette ball just keeps spinning because they have not received the message telling them when and where to stop. If you close and run the program again, you will be refreshed to the last known position.
9.5 Why do the cards not flip over during a hand?
This is caused by a bad or slow Internet connection. The gaming server will hold the wager until it can resolve the bet.
9.6 How can I view exactly what cards have been dealt?
You may view your wagering history in the Cashier. Click "My Details" and "Wager History". Your complete wagering history is available right back to the day you signed up.
