www.ocean-waves.org regularly offers you various bonuses and rewards that are credited to your account.

A bonus is usually followed by wagering requirements that must be fulfilled for withdrawal. In these cases, we recommend you familiarize yourself with the bonus rules before use.
Bonus Rules
-
A bonus is credited to a bonus balance.
-
When the wagering requirements of a bonus are met, the bonus amount is transferred to the main balance and can be withdrawn at any time.
-
In case of bonus abuse by a user, www.ocean-waves.org has the right to apply punitive measures against them, namely: to remove, reject all current bonuses and bonus winnings; to immediately block the user's Account.

-
Any combination of outside bets on the spread in roulette games covering 24 or more (64%) of the 37 unique number spots on the table. For example, a bet on red and black covers 36 out of 37 possible outcomes - in this case, all winnings and bonuses will be voided.
-
Using bonuses to play games with accumulated advantages during gameplay (e.g., free spin counters or other game features unlocked after some gameplay) and returning to the game after wagering requirements have been reset to trigger or unlock the feature and obtain the accumulated advantages or related winnings - in this case, all winnings and bonuses will be voided.
-
Funds won using bonuses cannot be withdrawn until all bonuses have been wagered.

-
All bonuses have an expiration date. The standard validity period for bonus money is 30 days. The expiration date may differ for specific bonuses. In such a case, the expiration date will be stated in the rules and conditions of the respective bonus. Wagering requirements must be met by the expiration date. We may cancel or write off bonus credit from a player's Account after its expiration.
-
The standard wagering requirement for casino bonus money is 30 times the amount of the bonus received, and for sportsbooks, it is 15 times the amount of the bonus received. This may differ for specific promotions provided it is stated in the relevant terms and conditions.
-
Bonus wagering requirements mean the total amount of bets you must place before the bonus and any accumulated winnings are transferred to your cash balance and can be withdrawn. The wagering requirements for each bonus are outlined in the specific bonus terms and will be expressed as a multiple of the bonus amount or the bonus amount plus the deposit amount. Bonus wagering requirements will be set out in the terms relating to that bonus. Not all bets will count towards wagering requirements. Bets on blackjack, roulette, arcade games (Heads or Better, Dice Twister, etc.), video poker (Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, etc.), baccarat, Casino Hold'em, 2 Ways Royal, Craps, and Sic Bo contribute 5% of actual bets in these games towards fulfilling your wagering requirements. Wagering on table games is 10%, Sic Bo, Royal Craps, Baccarat, Red Dog 0%. Most slot games contribute 100%. These percentages may change from time to time, so please be sure to contact the Website support each time to know the contribution of a particular game to wagering.
Wagering Requirements
-
After receiving a bonus, it is transferred to a bonus balance until the wagering requirements are met.
-
Wagering requirements represent a multiplier that indicates the number of times you must wager the bonus before you can withdraw any winnings. After fulfilling the wagering requirements, the bonus or accrued winnings are transferred to the main balance.

Bonus wagering requirements will be voided if the balance is less than €0.10 (or the equivalent in your account currency).
-
Funds won using bonuses cannot be withdrawn until all bonuses have been wagered.
-
You can withdraw funds before you fulfill the wagering requirements, but then you will lose your bonus money. If you decide to make such a withdrawal, you need to contact the Website's customer support.
-
Each user has the right to refuse bonuses by contacting the Site's support to reset the bonus balance.
-
Free Spins With free spins, you can play a game on the website for free with the same odds of winning as playing for real money. Winnings from free spins are converted into bonus money and usually need to be wagered.
Sports Betting Rules
www.ocean-waves.org accepts bets and/or wagers on sporting events that are presented on the Website. All such bets/wagers are governed by the rules applicable to each sport, e.g., basketball, tennis, esports, etc.
-
You may not place bets exceeding your account balance.
-
After a bet has been placed and confirmed, the user cannot change or cancel the bet. Therefore, it is in the user's interest to ensure all their bet data is correct before placing a bet.
-
Before the start of an event, www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right at its discretion to void or cancel part or all of a bet even after its acceptance without explanation to the user. After the start of an event, www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right at its discretion to void or cancel part or all of a bet, even after its acceptance, if there is a valid reason for this, such as:
-
An error in the wording (palpable error) of the event, odds, or start time;
-
The user attempts to circumvent www.ocean-waves.org limits (potential payout) and risk management by placing multiple, identical, or similar bets or opening multiple Accounts;
-
The user gains an advantage from any public announcement or inside information they have access to that determines the outcome of the bet;
-
The user combines related bets;
-
The user actively participates in the event, e.g., as a Player, Referee, Manager, or has direct or indirect relationships with the event participants;
-
A technical error occurred on the site offering incorrect odds or events;
-
Any other valid reason, duly communicated to the user upon request.
-
-
www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right to cancel all bets on an event if there is any change regarding the event venue.
-
www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right to cancel all bets in case of radical changes in the circumstances of the event, such as the duration of playing time, racing distance, or number of periods, etc.
-
Winnings will be credited to the user's Account after confirmation of the final result.
-
The market outcome is settled after it is determined. www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right to settle the outcomes of a game if the market was not determined earlier in the game. This rule applies within the regular duration of the match being concluded and in case no conditions are specified in the market description on the Website. For example:
-
Example 1: The match winner 1X2 market of an event is settled after the end of the regular duration (full time) of the event. The match winner 1x2 is determined after 90 minutes, including all extra minutes allocated by the match referee, as "normal duration." When a game goes to overtime (full time cannot determine the winner), on all markets it is stated that this is payable "including overtime" after the game ends. If there are any penalties (or other deciders), they are not counted unless otherwise stated on the market.
-
If the start of a game is delayed for any reason, the event may be left open, and all bets may remain open for 48 hours from the official start time. However, www.ocean-waves.org reserves the right to void such bets at its discretion and return users' bets. All bets may remain open and settled based on the game results at the discretion of www.ocean-waves.org when the organizer continues a canceled event within 48 hours of its start. In case a canceled event is not continued at the organizer's discretion within 48 hours of its start, www.ocean-waves.org will settle all determined markets that were completed on the field. Furthermore, www.ocean-waves.org will void others and return bets to players.
-
-
There are exceptions to the general rule:
-
The 48-hour rule is not upheld in tennis games. All bets stand until the referee or official determines the winner. However, there are cases where a player retires. In this situation, all markets that are determined on the court are settled accordingly, and all others are declared void, and bets are returned to players. If there is any doubt about a player retiring before the last point is concluded, the match winner market is voided. However, all markets that relate to specific sets or games that are determined are settled accordingly.
-
Baseball matches. The 48-hour rule is upheld. When two teams play 2 games in a row, they are considered Game 1 and Game 2 and will be settled as played in chronological order, with all bets valid. To avoid misunderstanding, if Team A plays Team B twice, the result of Game 1 will count for bets offered on Game 1 as originally scheduled, and the result of Game 2 will count for bets offered on Game 2 as originally scheduled. The 48-hour rule applies. (For example, if a football match is interrupted in the second half, first-half markets will be settled normally). (e.g., in the above example, second-half markets not decided) will be voided, and bets will be returned to customers.

First/Last Goalscorer: If at the time of match interruption there is at least one Goalscorer, all bets placed on the First Goalscorer will stand, and on the Last will be canceled. A player will be determined as the winner according to the "Goalscorer" market at any time, and bets on other players are voided.
-
Head to Head Bets: These bets mean a prediction of finishing in a higher position, scoring more points, or results between two players. Head to Head bets will stand if both players show the best results in the event. If two players get the same result or draw, all bets are voided.
-
Outright Bets: These bets mean a prediction of finishing in a higher position, scoring more points, or results among players (3+). Outright bets will stand if all participants are actively taking part in the event. If there are participants who do not take part in the event, all odds that were taken on other participants will be changed and settled with reduced odds. The reduction includes the same margin that applied to the absent participants. If two or more participants choose the same result (tie), the applicable odds will be the accepted odds divided by the number of participants in the tie (e.g., with equal odds of 2.70 and three participants in a tie, the final odds will be: 2.70 / 3 = 0.90), unless the official selects only one winner with an additional statistical criterion (e.g., goal assists).
-
Booking Markets: These are yellow and red cards. A yellow counts as one card, a red as two. If a player receives two yellow cards in succession, which change to a red card, this counts as three cards. Generally, a player cannot receive more than three cards. Settlement will be based on all available card data that appears during the normal playing time of the event. Cards shown after the final whistle are not considered. Cards of a player who did not take part in the game (players already substituted, coaches, bench players who did not take part in the game) will not be considered.
-
Booking Points Markets: Generally, a player cannot score more than 35 points during a game. A yellow card gives 10 points, a red gives 25 points, and a second yellow-to-red gives 25. A second yellow card for a player that leads to a red card is not counted separately.
-
Corners: Corners are counted for the relevant market settlement only if they were taken. If a corner is awarded but not taken, it will not be counted.
-
Intervals: The period from 00:01 to the end of the minute indicated as the end minute is specified as the first interval. To eliminate doubt, the 1-15 min interval is considered the period from 00:01 to 15:00, and the 30-45 min interval is considered the period from 30:01 to the end of the First Half respectively. The 75-90 min interval is considered the period from 75:01 to the end of Full Time. The referee, at his indication, counted the last time interval from the indicated minute to the end of the period.
Bets on order and from bookmakers and betting agents are not allowed. Bets on events in which a player participates ("participation" in this sense refers to those persons who participate as an athlete, sportsman, owner, coach, or official of a participating club) or those that are ordered by any participating person are not allowed. Furthermore, bets on a league, cup, or other events in which the relevant club/organization participates may not be made or ordered by those persons who are considered to be participating in the relevant event.
