Terms and Conditions

Registering with Digiturf.com™ and/or participating in any race (or activity) on Digiturf.com™ indicates that you have read and accepted that you are bound by the (“Terms and Conditions”) that follow.

At the end of the period, you may re-commence gameplay by emailing our Support Desk at administrator@kiron.co.za.com after a 24 (twenty-four) hour waiting period has lapsed.

Our self-exclusion programme involves a joint commitment from us and from you. We will take reasonable steps to prevent you re-opening your account or opening new accounts. However, during the period of your exclusion, you must not attempt to re-open your account or to try and open new accounts.

Having implemented reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure that whilst you are self-excluded you cannot open an account, we cannot be held liable to you or any third party if you are able to continue to gamble on the website, or you continue to gamble on any third party's website or premises.

To use our self-exclusion facility please call us or send an email to administrator@kiron.co.za with details of your account and the period that you wish the self-exclusion to apply. If a specific period is not given, we will exclude you for the minimum period of 6 months.

36 Notice about filler horses

36.1

Digiturf.com ™ has no vested interest in the outcome of races. What this means is the site does not profit from race results and is indifferent to where horses place in a race.
As a player you do not compete against the game or its operators; the only exception to this is in the free-to-enter races in which Digiturf.com ™ sometimes has filler horses participating. The sole purpose of filler-horses is to provide enough horses to participate so the race is not cancelled due to having insufficient runners.
NB. Site created Filler-Stables can only be found participating in free-to-enter races that have no stakes on them. The sites filler-stables are : Leicester Park, Brookland Meadows and Rosebank Farm.
