Bingo - Rules of Play

All Rules form part of the General Casino Terms and Conditions, which were accepted by you when you joined as a Customer. To the extent there is any inconsistency between any of the General Casino Terms and Conditions or any of the Rules, then the General Casino Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

We reserve the right to amend our Rules. However, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that any significant changes to them will be notified to you via a prominent notice posted in the reception area 7 days prior to their being imposed. It remains your responsibility to periodically check the Rules to ensure that you continue to agree with them. Once you play a game, you will be deemed to have accepted and be bound by these Rules.

GENERAL RULES OF PLAY

1 Before Play

• 1.1 Prior to the beginning of any Game, the Company will use its commercially reasonable endeavors to ensure that all gaming equipment is fully functional. Such obligations remain subject to the Liability provisions contained within our General Club Terms and Conditions.
• 1.2 Prior to the commencement of each game, the Caller will:
• (a) Announce which card is in play (for example, which “book”, “flyer” or ”link”); and
• (b) Which line, lines or full house (or any other combination) has to be completed to win.
• 1.3 The charge to play, including any participation fee, is prominently displayed at the main book selling point, contained as part of the notice detailing the charges levied for all games.
• 1.4 It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that at the time of purchase they are in possession of all the tickets they believe they have bought. For the purpose of verification of any Claims, as set out in paragraph 4.1 below, the claiming Customer must actually be in possession of the relevant ticket. We will not enter into discussion in respect of any potential prize that may or may not have been won where a Customer makes a Claim in relation to a ticket that they do not physically possess at the time they make the Claim.

2 During Play

• 2.1 When play begins, each number will be selected at random by means of a random number generator (“RNG”). Customers must mark their cards in such a way that the numbers are sufficiently legible to be easily verifiable, allowing us to check them beyond dispute. Any dispute will be subject to the procedure set out in the General Club Terms and Conditions.
• 2.2 For the assistance of Customers, the numbers called are repeated on a screen/TV. In the event of a discrepancy between a number announced by the Caller and displayed on the screen/TV, the actual number produced by the RNG and displayed on the Caller’s screen shall prevail.
• 2.3 In the event that a customer requests a re-check of the numbers called, the caller will not perform this (unless there are exceptional circumstances) after 10 numbers have been called or after the single line is checked, whichever is first.

3 Stopping the Game

• 3.1 The point at which the next number is deemed to have been called will be the moment the Caller has commenced to call that number or to give a description of that number in any degree. Once a number has been started, it will be completed and that number will become the last number called. The winning card must contain the last number called as part of the advertised/announced winning sequence. Once a prize has been correctly validated another number is required to be called before an additional winning sequence can be accepted.
• 3.2 No further Claim for a prize (a “Claim”) will be accepted for a line, or two lines (or other combination) once the next number has been called. No further Claims will be accepted for a full house after the reset button has been activated and the Random Number Generator set for the next game.
• 3.3 It is the responsibility of each player to stop the Caller before the next number is started. A player is responsible for ensuring the caller stops the game on their winning number by giving a loud clear verbal shout or by using any alerting device as agreed by the casino, e.g. a whistle, a bell, etc. Failure to stop the caller on the winning number will render the claim invalid.
• 3.4 Where games are called by auto-caller, the next number is deemed as having been started at the point that the number is generated. Generated means the next number is displayed, even though it may not have been called.
• 3.5 Prize money will only be paid to the person playing and stopping the game.

4 Claiming The Prize

• 4.1 When a Claim is made, the Customer must produce his book or card for verification. We also reserve the right to require production of a valid identification. In accordance with the General casino Terms and Conditions, additional documentation may be required prior to the actual payment of any winnings.
• 4.2 If books are being used then these must be intact upon checking a Claim unless the books in play contain a serial number on every ticket. Where books are sold as part of an “all-in” package these books may not be torn into any other combination without authorisation from the Company or their representative.
• 4.3 The Caller will determine the Claim, announce their decision and display the appropriate details of the winning ticket. If he rejects the Claim, they will endeavor to obtain the Customer’s agreement to that decision. The reason for the Claim’s rejection will be announced. Any dispute will be subject to the procedure set out in the General Casino Terms and Conditions.
• 4.4 In the case of a special game for a prize (not cash) provided by the Company, the Caller will announce before the game the procedure to be adopted in the event of more than one winner sharing the prize.
• 4.5 In the event of multiple winners on a cash game the prize money shall be shared equally. However where books are sold at more than one price level, prizes will be determined by dividing the prize money at each stake level by the total number of winners on that game.
• 4.6 In the event of a mechanical malfunction however caused, or any other circumstance which results in a duplicate or incorrect game tickets being issued (either paper or electronic) resulting in multiple or duplicate claims, all entitled claimants will equally share the declared prize.
• 4.7 The Management reserve the right to withdraw guarantees in the event of attendances being reduced by adverse weather conditions or the effects of industrial disputes.

• 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 the Independent Panel for Casino and Bingo Arbitration (IPCA).
• 1.7 The IPCA is tasked with reviewing any disputes relating to the land-based casino and bingo industries 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 the Independent Panel for Casino Arbitration (IPCA) at the address below at any 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.

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 Westfield Stratford City, 312 The Loft, Montfichet Road Olympic Park, 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 & Audit, Aspers at The Gate, Newgate Street, Newcastle, NE1 5TG 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 the Independent Panel for Casino Arbitration (IPCA) at www.nationalcasinoforum.co.uk/ipca/

3. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CASINO & BINGO ARBITRATION IPCA 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 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 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.
• d. The value of the claim falls below or above the monetary thresholds set by the body; however, the IPCA does not set monetary thresholds.
• e. The consumer has not submitted the complaint to the body within the time period specified by the body, provided that such time period is not less than 12 months from the date upon which the trader has given notice to the consumer that the trader is unable to resolve the complaint with the consumer.
• f. Dealing with such a type of dispute would seriously impair the effective operation of the body;

Gender Pay Gap Report

Introduction

Aspers (Stratford City) Limited is part of the Aspers Group PLC and operates a Casino at Westfield Stratford, open 24 hours a day, 364 days of the year. Aspers employs just under 500 people at Stratford and are reporting on the gender pay gap at currently the Group’s only site that comes under the reporting rules of the Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations. As part of the Aspers Group, we are proud to be a socially responsible employer and are committed to equality of opportunity for all our staff and providing a safe and comfortable working environment.

This report provides information on the gender pay gaps at Stratford, looks at the causes for gaps and strategies that we can use to narrow gaps. Here is our basic data:

• Ratio of male/female employees:
• Total number of employees:

(Note that any Tronc payments can be excluded if they are outside Aspers control and if Aspers does not have the data and it is not reasonably practicable to obtain it)

How we measure the pay gap

We are looking at the gender pay gap and various aspects of the gap in keeping with the reporting requirements. We look at the differences in average pay between men and women, and the gender breakdown in the different roles that we have at our Aspers Westfield Stratford City Casino. The figures set out below have been calculated using the standard methodologies used in the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017. The data that we are required to publish is:

(a) The difference between the mean hourly rate of pay of male full-pay employees and that of female full-pay employees;

(b) The difference between the median hourly rate of pay of male full-pay employees and that of female full-pay employees;

(c) The difference between the mean bonus pay paid to male employees and that paid to female employees;

(d) The difference between the median bonus pay paid to male employees and that paid to female employees;

(e) The proportions of male and female employees who were paid bonus pay, and

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

What's behind the pay gaps?

We actively look in to the reasons for disparities in pay, and how we can close the gap. It’s important to remember that the data combines jobs where experience and seniority may be factors in pay levels. We employ staff in various roles, we have licensed Gaming staff with PFL licences, hospitality and valet staff, Security staff and support roles, and management. However, we do have a large number of female employees in the low-skilled, lesser paid roles versus the specialised Gaming roles that have the higher salary bands. This is reflective of the qualified applicants applying for the specialised Gaming roles.

What we are doing to address the gender pay gap

We continue to be mindful of the gender pay gap and actively look at ways to address it through:

• Recruitment – We have seen the number of female personnel remain static in comparison to the male representation that has decreased in the last year. We recruit through a broad range of routes and we will continue to encourage that third party service providers provide more female candidates for middle and senior management roles. The core business roles of experienced Croupiers are predominantly male within the industry and as a business we are committed to actively recruiting for trainee croupier schools with a focus on female role attraction.
• Flexible Working – As a 24/7 business we offer a wide range of shift patterns and hours of work and will continue to promote this. The opportunity for flexible working options for women who may not want traditional working hours will continue to be promoted.
• Learning and Development – We are committed to providing blended and e-learning learning and development opportunities.
• Succession Planning – We shall continue to publicise success stories within the organisation so that demonstrate equality – representing role models for all of our staff.
• Benefits – The statistics documented show that the bonus and pay programme introduced over the time period has been a success. All staff have the opportunity to receive a bonus based on their personal performance – irrelevant of their position within the Company. The Company is committed to ensuring objective ways that bonus/pay awards may be awarded.

Gender Pay Gap Report

Introduction

Aspers (Stratford City) Limited is part of the Aspers Group PLC and operates a Casino at Westfield Stratford, open 24 hours a day, 364 days of the year. Aspers employs around 570 people at Stratford, and are reporting on the gender pay gap at currently the Group's only site that comes under the reporting rules of the Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations. As part of the Aspers Group, we are proud to be a socially responsible employer and are committed to equality of opportunity for all our staff and providing a safe and comfortable working environment.

This report provides information on the gender pay gaps at Stratford, looks at the causes for gaps and strategies that we can use to narrow gaps. Here is our basic data:

What's behind the pay gaps?

We are looking in to the reasons for disparities in pay, and how we can close the gap. It's important to remember that the data combines jobs where experience and seniority may be factors in pay levels. We employ staff in various roles, we have licensed Gaming staff with PFL licences, hospitality and valet staff, Security staff and support roles, and management. However, we do have a large number of positions in relatively low- skilled and low paid work and in the general UK labour market a greater proportion of these workers are female.

What we are doing to address the gender pay gap

We are mindful of the gender pay gap and are looking at ways to address it through:

• Recruitment - We employ through a broad a range of routes as possible. We will share the findings of this report with organisations who provide us with applications and encourage them to provide more female candidates for senior positions.
• Flexible Working - As a 24/7 business will offer a wide range of shift patterns and hours of work and will continue to promote this. This flexibility should appeal to women who might not be suited to more traditional working environments.
• Learning and Development - We continue to develop a mixture of Learning and Development initiative with E-Learning at the forefront. A more flexible learning environment benefits everyone but is particularly helpful to women who as a group are more likely to have caring commitments outside of employment which may make more traditional classroom training more problematic.
• Succession Planning. We will continue to publicise success stories within the organisation so that other women have role models that they can identify with. Women who have been promoted and have a clear and progressive career path.
• Benefits - The Company has recently introduced an incentive programme which means that all staff have the opportunity to receive a bonus based on their personal performance. This flows down to the base of the organisation where women are over-represented in groups who were not eligible for a bonus before. It is hoped that this improvement in benefits will increase length of service and shorter service is an inhibitor to promotion.
