Gaming Dispute

1. COMPLAINTS, DISPUTES & ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

• 1.1. Aspers Group fully supports the objective detailed in the Gambling Act 2005 and are committed to best practice on gaming and social responsibility and will ensure gambling is conducted fairly and openly in accordance with company procedures.
• 1.2 Aspers Group has put into effect policies and procedures designed to ensure the supervision at gaming tables is carried out by supervisors and dealers in order to ensure the integrity of gaming is not compromised.
• 1.3 A complaint means a complaint about any aspect of the company and staff conduct in respect of the licensed activities, and a dispute is any complaint which -
• a. Is not resolved at the first stage of the complaints procedure.
• b. Relates to the outcome of the complainant’s gambling transaction.
• 1.4 A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction made to the licensee about any aspect of the conduct of licensed activities. This means that complaints relating purely to commercial issues, such as the service in the restaurant, the quality of the décor or facilities or the availability of space at a particular
• gaming table do not apply, as they would not indicate a possible threat to the licensing objectives.
• 1.5 Should a customer have any complaint or dispute about any gambling related decision, this should be raised immediately with a member of the Aspers management team who should be able to settle this at the time. If it is not settled the customer will be given a gaming dispute leaflet and is free to raise any such complaint or dispute at any time within a date which is not less than 6 months from the date of the disputed incident. The request will be acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt where gambling facilities are available 24 hours a day or within three working days otherwise.
• 1.6 The licensee’s process ends if the customers complaint remains unresolved eight weeks after the licence holder received it, or the customer and the licence holder reach a deadlock or final position in less than eight weeks. The licence holder will then write to the customer with a final letter to explain:
• a. The final decision.
• b. That this is the end of the operator’s complaints process.
• c. How to escalate the complaint to an independent ADR entity if the customer wishes to do so. Therefore, should a customer not be satisfied with the decision, and all internal avenues of dispute resolution have been exhausted, they may refer the matter to IBAS.
• 1.7 IBAS is tasked with reviewing any disputes relating to the land-based casino that cannot be settled internally. Thus, if the customer remains dissatisfied with the decision regarding their gambling dispute, they may refer the matter in writing or by email to time up to 12 months from the end of the operator’s complaints’ process. The application will be acknowledged within three working days of receipt
• 1.8 We recommend visiting the IBAS website: www.ibas-uk.com
  
  In order to make a claim through the IBAS website, you will need to register with the service. You will need a valid, working email address in order to register. Registration is quick, easy and free of charge.
  
  You will then need to complete an IBAS Claim Form by clicking on ‘Make a Claim’.
  
  If you have any difficulty using the website, you are welcome to complete a claim form by hand. We can post you a form, which we will ask you to complete and return.
  
  To request a form, either telephone us on 020 7347 5883 or write to us at: IBAS, PO BOX 62639. London EC3P 3AS
• 1.9 How long does IBAS process take?
  
  Once IBAS has received your completed claim form, they will contact the casino to seek their response.
  
  One of their Case Managers will then send any further questions to either you or the casino until they are satisfied that they have all of the information they need to make an informed decision.
  
  After that, the file containing all of that information is sent to members of IBAS Adjudication Panel. The panellists may have further questions or they may be satisfied that they have enough material to issue an adjudication.
  
  Once they have reached their decision, their findings are typed up and either emailed or posted to both you and the casino simultaneously.
  
  Typically, the whole process will take between 10 and 12 weeks but some cases are resolved faster and other, more complicated cases, may take longer.

2. ASPERS GROUP CASINO COMPLAINTS PROCESS

• 2.1 Any gaming complaint should be resolved by the Dealer and/or Gaming Supervisor at the time of the incident, however if the Dealer or Gaming Supervisor is not able to settle the matter it will be referred to the Duty Manager and Surveillance.
• 2.2 If you are not satisfied with the resolution of the dispute you will be given a gaming dispute leaflet and invited to put your concern in writing to the General Manager, Aspers Casino Stratford, Westfield Stratford City, 312 Montfichet Rd, London, E20 1ET Email: St.gamingdisputes@aspers.co.uk
• 2.3 In response to your enquiry the General Manager will respond to you by email or write to you after investigating the dispute, explaining the decision.
• 2.4 If you are not content with the decision you may write to the Head of Regulatory Compliance & Safer Gambling, Aspers at The Gate, Newgate Street, Newcastle, NE1 5TG or via email complaintsesc@aspers.co.uk who will independently investigate the matter.
• 2.5 If you are not satisfied with their findings you may escalate the matter further by having it referred to an Alternative Dispute Resolution entity (ADR) which is IBAS

3. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CASINO & BINGO ARBITRATION ADR PROCESS

• 3.1 The ADR controller will assign an ADR official to investigate the complaint and notify all parties concerned.
• 3.2 The ADR official will request all relevant evidence and documentation from all concerned parties and inform all parties of their right to withdraw at any time from the process. Both parties have a right to see the arguments, evidence, documents and facts put forward by the other party.
• 3.3 The ADR official upon receipt of the evidence will notify the parties that the evidence received constitutes a ‘complete complaint file’. An outcome (proposed decision/resolution) to the dispute will be issued within 90 calendar days from the date the “complete complaint file” has been received (in “certain exceptional cases” in “highly complex disputes” the ADR official is free, at his/ her own discretion, to extend the 90 calendar day deadline). During the course of the investigation the complainant will be kept in touch with progress at least every 30 days.
• 3.4 The ADR official will normally provide a draft report allowing reasonable time for comment from all parties. This may include any statements made and opinions given by experts.
• 3.5 The ADR official will consider any comments prior to completing the report.
• 3.6 The ADR official will provide a final report to the ADR controller outlining the outcomes and grounds on which the proposed decision/resolution is based.
• 3.7 When the ADR controller is satisfied that the process has been adhered to and the decision/resolution in the report is valid, the controller will forward the report to all parties concerned.
• 3.8 In accordance with the Gambling Commission’s expectation, gambling operators will offer ADR which is binding on the operator (if accepted by the consumer) for disputes which would otherwise be taken to the small claims court (currently disputes of not more than £10,000). For disputes over £10,000, the ADR procedure need not be binding – this would allow, for example, that mediation could be employed for disputes of more than £10,000 or for adjudication decisions to be non-binding on the operator.
• 3.9 In accordance with consumer protection requirements, the customer is not legally bound to abide by any IBAS decision and therefore this process does not deny the consumer his or her UK statutory consumer protections.
• by any IPCA decision and therefore this process does not deny the consumer his or her UK statutory consumer protections.

4. GROUNDS TO REFUSE TO DEAL WITH AN ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

• 4.1 An ADR Entity can refuse to deal with a dispute but the ADR Entity must provide both parties with a reason for declining the dispute within 3 weeks of receiving the complete complaint file.
• 4.2 The reasons a dispute can be refused† are if:
• a. The consumer has not attempted to contact the gambling operator and resolve the matter directly with them, prior to submitting their complaint to the ADR entity;
• b. The dispute is frivolous or vexatious.
• c. The dispute is being, or has been previously, considered by another ADR entity or by a court.

Gender Pay Gap Report

Introduction

Aspers (Stratford City) Limited (Aspers Stratford) is part of Aspers UK Holding Limited (AUKH) and operates a Casino at Westfield Stratford City.

Aspers Stratford employs just under 350 people and is reporting on the gender pay gap as AUKH’s only site that falls under the reporting requirements of the Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations.

As part of AUKH, we are proud to be a socially responsible employer and are committed to equality of opportunity for all our employees, providing a safe and comfortable working environment.

This report provides information on the gender pay gaps at Aspers Stratford, looking at the causes for gaps and strategies that are used to narrow gaps.

Our basic data:

• The ratio of male/female employees: 64/36
• Total number of employees: 343

(Note: Tronc payments are excluded as they are outside the company’s control.)

How we measure the pay gap

As an employer, we are looking at the gender pay gap and various aspects of the gap in keeping with the reporting requirements. We analyse the differences in the average pay between males and females, and the gender breakdown in the different roles employed by Aspers Stratford. The figures set out within the report have been calculated using the methodologies used in the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

Please note – – no bonuses were paid within the qualifying period and no bonus calculations are applicable.

In line with legal requirements, please see the following Gender Pay Gap analysis for Aspers Stratford:

• The difference between the MEAN hourly rate of pay of male full-pay employees and that of female full-pay employees is (-1.6%)
• The difference between the MEDIAN hourly rate of pay of male full-pay employees and that of female full-pay employees is (0%).

The mean gender pay gap for the whole economy according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) figures) is 7.9%, while the median gender pay gap for the whole economy is 15%.

• The proportions of male and female full-pay employees in the lower, lower middle, upper middle, and upper quartile pay bands.

	Male	Female
Lower Quartile	44.0%	56.0%
Lower Middle Quartile	73.0%	27.0%
Upper Middle Quartile	69.0%	31.0%
Upper Quartile	65.0%	35.0%

We employ individuals in various roles; we have licensed gaming employees with a Personal Functional Licence, hospitality and valet employees, security employees, support roles, and management. We do identify a significant number of female employees in the low-skilled, lesser paid roles versus the specialised gaming roles that have the higher salary bands. Whilst this is reflective of the qualified applicants applying for the specialised gaming roles, we are committed to providing blended learning and development opportunities.

Statement:

I confirm that the information and the data provided in this report are accurate as of 5 April 2022, which is the ‘snapshot’ date.

3. FOOTBALL

   An unplayed or postponed match will be treated as a non-runner for settling purposes unless it is played within the next 24 hours (local time of betting event) in which case the bet will stand. This also refers to games that started but where abandoned before the competition of 90 minutes play.

   Should a team be disqualified or banned from the league prior to the season, then all bets on this team will be made void. Should this happen after the first game of the league was played, the bets on this team will be settled as lost.

   if a player has not entered the field of play before the first goal has been scored, then this player is deemed a "non- runner" for the bet "Which player will score the first goal of the match", all bets on this player are void. If the "Own Goal" is scored by a player who is an option to bet on as the "First/Last Player to Score", the "Own goal" does not count for this player. This means that all bets on specific players to be the first/last to score are "lost".

   Further popular bets, which are offered for football events:

   • Rest of the match: Example if Arsenal were playing Blackpool and the current score was 6-0 the BETTING OPPORTUNITY will before the REST OF THE MATCH ONLY - as if the match started again at the time of placing the bet. The betting slip will indicate the actual score at the time the bet was placed: "Rest of the match from 6:0 - Arsenal" together with the bet for the remaining time i.e. Arsenal, as you think Arsenal will be able to win during the remaining time (the bet would be lost if no more goal would be scored and therefore Arsenal would draw during the remaining time).
   • Handicap: Handicap bets are settled on the basis that one of the teams is given a goal(s) start. Bets are settled by adding (or subtracting) the goal start to the 90 minutes result.
   • Double Chance: Bets are settled on the following possible outcomes in a specified football match - e.g. Barcelona - Real Madrid:
   • Home/Draw- Barcelona to win/Match to end in a draw
   • Away/Draw - Madrid to win/Match to end in a draw
   • Home/Away - Barcelona to win/Madrid to win
   • Drawn no Bet: A draw no bet market is betting on the result of a game by choosing which team will win, if there is a draw the selection is treated like a non-runner.
   • Over/Under: A bet on whether the final result of an event will be above or under a set amount of goals. If the Over/Under line is a whole number and the correct result is equal to it, the selection is treated as a non-runner.
   • Half Time/Full Time: Bets must indicate the result of both, half-time and full-time
   
   

4. PROBLEMS WITH BET INSTRUCTIONS

   1. We will only accept bets on matches and markets for which we quote prices. Any bet taken in error for a match, tournament or market for which no prices are available will be deemed void. In the event that any selections are unclear or illegible then those selections will be deemed void.
   2. Unless otherwise specified, all bets which state a particular team to win will be settled on the 90 minute result of the next match they play.
   3. From time to time we may offer betting on the 'outright result', 'to Win in Extra Time' etc.
   
   

5. AMERICAN FOOTBALL

Unless otherwise specified, for all other bets the event must be played for a total of at least 55 minutes. If a money line, total or handicap bet ends in a draw and no odds have been offered for this option, all bets will be void, the stake will be paid back (odds: 1.00).

   The score at the end of play, including overtime if played, will be taken as the final result, with the exception of Quarter and First Half lines as these do not include overtime.

   • When handicap betting is available, if the match finishes as a tie, stakes will be returned

   1. Money Lines. Both teams are priced to win the full game with no handicaps applied. When betting on the money line your team must win the game on the field in order for you to win the bet. For settlement purposes overtime counts. If the game remains tied after overtime, dead heat rules apply.
   2. Point Spread. A point spread bet is a bet on a team to win the game with handicaps applied. To even the match for betting purposes, the favourite gives the 'underdog' × points start. A favourite is indicated by a minus points handicap and the underdog by plus points. At the end of the match, the relevant handicap is added to, or subtracted from the selected teams' score to determine the point spread result. In the event of a tie on the handicap all stakes on this market are returned. For settlement purposes overtime counts.
   3. Game Totals. A total line is offered on the predicted total number of points scored. Prices are offered for the actual score to be over or under this quote. The total result is the combined total points for both teams at the end of the relevant period of play. When the combined scores of both teams equals the totals line then the stakes are returned.
   4. Game Wagers. At least 55-minutes of play must elapse for game bets to stand.

   The result at the end of the contest is final. This includes any recounts of the judges' scorecards. Any subsequent changes made by governing bodies do not count for betting purposes. If a boxer fails to start a round then the previous completed round is considered the last round of the fight. Should there be a withdrawal, the fight being declared a "No Contest" or a substitution of one of the boxers concerned, bets will be void.

   1. Round Betting. If either fighter fails to answer the bell, his opponent will be deemed to have won in the previous round. If for any reason a points decision is awarded before the full number of rounds is completed, bets will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped. Bets on boxers to win on points will be deemed winners only after all the scheduled rounds of the fight have been completed.
   
   

   If the fight does not take place for any reason and is started again within 3 full days after the original start date, then all bets count for the rescheduled fight. If the fight is NOT started within 3 full days after the original start date then all bets will be void. If a fight takes place in a country different from the original country then all bets will be void. If a fight takes place on a different venue but in the same country then all bets are valid.

8. CRICKET

   1. Limited Over Matches. All bets will be settled in accordance with the official competition rules. This will include matches where a reduction of overs has taken place. If the competition rules allow the final result to be a tied match, and a tie occurs and we were not offering a tie price, we will settle as a dead-heat.

If the match does not take place within 48 hours, your bet will be void.

   If a match is officially declared with 'no result, all bets on that match will be void. If a match is affected by external actors (such as bad weather), we will settle your bet based on the official competition rule (this includes matches affected by a mathematical calculation such as the Duckworth-Lewis method (DL) or the Jayadevan system (VJD)). If a match ends in a draw or through bowl-off the match betting market will be settled as void.

    • At least 60 minutes of play for "Non-American Ice Hockey"
    
    

    Otherwise all bets will be void, the stake will be paid back (odds: 1.00).
