CDTIC also reserves the right to close an account for whatever reason and without explanation, for any reason it deems necessary, including but not limited to for compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, in cases of suspected illegal or fraudulent activity, outstanding funds owed, or other improper or abusive behavior. Except in the case of theft, fraudulent, or other actual or suspected illegal activity, in circumstances in which funds remain subject to ACH returns, credit card chargebacks, or otherwise returned (in which case funds will be retained until all applicable time periods have expired), or as otherwise may be required by applicable law or regulation, upon closing an account, all funds will be returned to the account holder via check mailed to the registered account address within five (5) business days.
If an account is inactive for a period of twelve (12) months or more, CDTIC may charge a monthly account maintenance fee of $5.00 or five percent (5%) of the account balance, whichever is greater. If the balance in an inactive account is $5.00 or less, the account will be assessed the monthly account maintenance fee set forth in the preceding sentence, provided the charge will not exceed the available balance in the account.

ACCOUNT PROCEDURES:
WAGERING, DEPOSITS, WITHDRAWALS WAGERING
Go to www.DKHorse.com and sign in using your unique username and password.
CDTIC employs strict privacy and protection methods in order to ensure the highest level of wagering security and integrity. An account for the Services may only be accessed by the registered account holder using their unique, valid login information.
The maximum wagering amount allowed is $2,500 (U.S.) per transaction, unless otherwise authorized. The wagering amounts are also dependent on the host racetrack rules and these Terms and Conditions. When a wager is accepted, a notification that your bet has been placed will be provided, and a wager shall not be deemed accepted unless such notification is provided. All wagers through the Services are commingled with wagering pools at the host racetrack and will be subject to host racetrack restrictions. In the case of multiple wagers, such as a daily double or an exacta box, the base wager is multiplied by the number of combinations to determine the amount of the total wager. Wagers will only be accepted that do not exceed the current balance of a player’s respective DK HORSE wagering account. The amount for all approved wagers will be withdrawn from the account holder's wagering account prior to submission of the wager into the host racetrack wagering pool. Any winnings will be credited to the account holder's account promptly following the posting of official results by the respective host racetrack.
DK HORSE and/or CDTIC reserves the right to refuse any wagering transaction for any reason. Any and all wagers placed by residents of non-Permitted States will not be accepted.
Under certain circumstances CDTIC may operate separate wagering pools from the host racetrack. Separate pools will be subject to rules and regulations of the Oregon Racing Commission.
If for some reason CDTIC is unable to commingle your wager with the host racetrack wagering pool, your wager will be refunded to your DK HORSE account. Requested wagers that are unsuccessful, ineffective, or non-permissible for any reason (including any and all track errors, tote malfunction, communications failures, etc.) will be canceled and the full wagered amount will be refunded to your DK HORSE account.
WAGER CANCELLATION TERMS & CONDITIONS
Unless prohibited by the racetrack or by a state jurisdictional authority, DK HORSE account holders may (within the set of pre-defined limits set forth in this Section) request to cancel any “Open” or “Accepted” wagers which have been previously submitted.
To request to cancel a wager:
- Click the options associated with the wager (signified by three dots) on the (i) Bets or (ii) Account History screen, then click on the “trash can” icon, and click “yes” to confirm.
- Click “Yes” to confirm your cancellation request.

Accounts may be funded only by personal financial accounts registered in the same name as the accountholder. Only personal financial accounts, and no business or organizational accounts, may be used to fund accounts. TwinSpires reserves all rights to seek documentation for validating account information.
Players may check their account balances by logging into their DK HORSE account.
DK HORSE player account balances accrue no interest.
DK HORSE and CDTIC reserve the right to amend these deposit Terms and Conditions or enforce additional deposit rules and regulations at any time and at their sole discretion.
WITHDRAWALS
Withdrawal requests can be made online. The availability of funds is subject to funds available in the player's ADW account less any pending deposits. Details related to withdrawals, including withdrawal methods can be found on the FAQ Page available here .
Withdrawal requests can only be made by the account holder and upon verification of the account holder’s identity. The account holder may be asked to answer certain questions in order to verify the account holder’s identity.

Any wager resulting in winnings over five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) is subject to reporting and withholding if the amount of winnings is at least three hundred (300) times the original amount wagered. In each case, the original amount wagered shall include all wagers placed in a single pari-mutuel pool and represented on a single electronic record, which shall be aggregated and treated as a single wager for purposes of determining the amount of the wager.

GOVERNING LAW
These Terms and Conditions and all transactions conducted through the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, with the exception of the Arbitration Provision listed below under “DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION,” which shall instead be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., notwithstanding any state or foreign law or rule, and irrespective of any choice of law provision. By using the Services you consent to the application of Oregon law governing account wagering. Any disputes or claims alleging non-payment will be resolved according to the rules issued by the Oregon Racing Commission. Any claims or disputes related to or arising from the operation of the Services or account wagering and/or your use of the Services or account wagering must be brought against CDTIC and may not be brought against DK HORSE or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, or their successors or assigns.

For Minnesota Residents only, please also see the second to last paragraph of these Terms and Conditions.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
Please read this provision (“Arbitration Provision”) carefully, because it requires you to arbitrate disputes with CDTIC and it limits the manner in which you can seek relief, unless you opt out of this Arbitration Provision.
For purposes of this Arbitration Provision, all references to “CDTIC” includes its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, owners, agents, officers, directors, successors, and assigns. Churchill Downs Incorporated, the parent company of CDTIC, is an intended third party beneficiary of this Arbitration Provision.
Unless you specifically opt out using the procedures in the section below entitled “Your Right to Opt Out of the Arbitration Provision,” you agree to the Arbitration Provision set forth herein. Whether to agree to arbitration is an important decision. It is your decision to make and you should not rely solely on the information provided in these Terms and Conditions, as they are not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of agreeing to this Arbitration Provision. You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with others regarding the consequences of your decision.
For Minnesota Residents only, please also see the second to last paragraph of these Terms and Conditions.
Scope of Arbitration Provision. You and CDTIC agree to resolve by binding individual arbitration any past, present, or future dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind or nature arising out of, relating to, or in connection with your access to or use of the Services or to these Terms and Conditions (including, without limitation, any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of these Terms and Conditions), that you may have against CDTIC. This arbitration provision shall not apply to a dispute if an agreement to arbitrate such a dispute is prohibited by governing law.
Waiver of Right to Trial and Waiver Class, Collective, or Representative Action. You and CDTIC agree to waive (1) the right to a trial before a judge or jury in federal, state, or local court in favor of arbitration under this Arbitration Provision, and (2) any right to participate in any class, collective, or representative action, whether in court or arbitration, covering any dispute, controversy, or claim to which this Arbitration Provision applies. Any claims subject to this Arbitration Provision shall be decided by an arbitrator on an individual basis only. Class, collective, and representative actions are not permitted under this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator shall not have the authority or jurisdiction to join or consolidate claims of different parties into a single proceeding, or to adjudicate any class, collective, or representative action.
Location of Arbitration, Applicable Rules, and Selection of Arbitrator. You and CDTIC agree that any arbitration shall occur in the county in which you reside. You may request to appear at the arbitration telephonically or via videoconference. You and CDTIC agree that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Streamlined Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). The current Streamlined Rules of JAMS are available here:
http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/.
The arbitrator shall be a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the state where the arbitration will be conducted. If you and CDTIC cannot agree on an arbitrator, the selection process of JAMS shall apply.
Initiating an Arbitration. The party seeking to bring a claim under this Arbitration Provision must demand arbitration in writing and deliver the written demand, with an original physical signature, by hand or first-class mail to the other party (the “Demand for Arbitration”). Any Demand for Arbitration submitted with a digital, electronic, copied, or other non-original signature will be null and void. The Demand for Arbitration shall include an identification of the parties, a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim(s), and a specification of the remedy sought. Any Demand for Arbitration made to CDTIC shall be provided to by
U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.), or by hand delivery to: 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite 400, Louisville, Kentucky 40222.
Authority of Arbitrator; Delegation Provision. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any form of remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court in an individual action, but under no circumstances shall the arbitrator have the authority to award any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis.
Other than the issue of whether an arbitration initiated under this Arbitration Provision can proceed on a class, collective, or representative basis rather than an individual basis (which may only be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not the arbitrator), then you and CDTIC agree that all disputes relating to the applicability, legality, enforceability, revocability, waiver of, or validity of this Arbitration Provision, including, but not limited to, whether any dispute or claim falls within the scope of this Arbitration Provision, and all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the Demand for Arbitration, shall be delegated to and resolved exclusively by the arbitrator, to the fullest extent permissible under law, and not a court.
A judgment upon the final award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, in any arbitration award issued in an arbitration conducted in accordance with this arbitration provision, the arbitrator shall specify a reasonable time within which the final award shall be satisfied, and neither you nor CDTIC may seek to confirm the award until the time specified for satisfaction has expired. If the final award is satisfied during the specified time, neither you nor CDTIC shall seek to confirm the award.
Paying for the Arbitration. Unless otherwise required by any applicable law, you and CDTIC shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, as well as the costs of any facility used in connection with the arbitration. If required by any applicable law, CDTIC shall pay any costs uniquely associated with arbitration and that you would not have to pay if pursuing an action in court.
Confidentiality. You and CDTIC shall maintain as confidential the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing and all documents submitted to the arbitrator, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or in connection with seeking from a court any preliminary remedies, enforcement of this Arbitration Provision, or confirmation of an arbitrator’s award, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
Your Right to Opt Out of the Arbitration Provision. If you do not want to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, you may opt out from the Arbitration Provision by notifying CDTIC in writing within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms and Conditions by either (1) sending an email to Player.services@dkhorse.com stating your full name and decision to opt out of the Arbitration Provision, or (2) by sending a letter by U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.), or by hand delivery to: 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite 400, Louisville, Kentucky 40222 Attention: Legal Department.
In order to be effective, the letter under option (2) must clearly indicate your decision to opt out of this Arbitration Provision and must be dated and signed. The envelope containing the signed letter must be received (if delivered by hand) or post-marked within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms and Conditions.
Should you not opt out of this Arbitration Provision in accordance with the procedures outlined above, you and CDTIC will be bound by the terms of this Arbitration Provision. You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Arbitration Provision.
Severability of Arbitration Provision. Severability of this Arbitration Provision shall be governed as follows: if any portion of this Arbitration Provision is determined by a court to be void, unenforceable, illegal, unconscionable, or invalid for any reason, then that portion shall be modified and/or deleted to the extent necessary to allow enforcement of the remainder of this Arbitration Provision. If any portion of the waiver of class, collective, and/or representative actions contained in this Arbitration Provision is adjudged to be void, unenforceable, illegal, unconscionable, or invalid for any reason, then any resulting class, collective, and/or representative actions must be heard and determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not in arbitration.
Governing Law for Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., notwithstanding any state or foreign law or rule, and irrespective of any choice of law provision. This Arbitration Provision will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms and Conditions.
Prior Arbitration Agreements. This Arbitration Provision supersedes any previous arbitration agreement between you and CDTIC relating to DK HORSE, and any such prior agreement is hereby null and void.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
You and CDTIC agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services, to these Terms and Conditions, and/or the Privacy Policy, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose, and is thereafter forever barred.
SEVERABILITY
If any part of these Terms and Conditions is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; the remainder shall be given full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term.

If, on a previous day, you accessed a “Complimentary Past Performance” product but did NOT complete a wager on the applicable track / date and we were unable to successfully debit the product price from your wagering account after the day-end close of wagering (e.g. insufficient funds were available in your account at this time), then we will apply an upfront debit payment (from your wagering account) when you access a “Complimentary Past Performance” product next time. And, if / when you wager on the applicable track / date time, we will then issue a refund of the product price to your wagering account, generally after the day-end close of wagering.
Please note that if you purchase a past performance or other product with a credit card, no refunds are provided. All credit card purchases are final.

WAGER RESPONSIBLY
Be Smart - Bet Smart - Wager Responsibly
For many people, betting on the horses is exciting and entertaining. Most people make thoughtful decisions about spending time and money. Here are some tips to follow to help wager responsibly:
- Balance playing the horses with other leisure activities
- Play the horses for entertainment, not as a way to make money.
- Do not "chase" losses. Accept them as the cost of entertainment.
- Use extra income to wager, not money needed for everyday expenses.
- Set a dollar limit and stick with it.
- Set a time limit.
Most people practice responsible wagering. For some, however, wagering or gambling becomes a serious problem that they are unable to control. This can lead to problem gambling. People who have gambling problems have a difficult time controlling or stopping their gambling, regardless of the harm it may cause to themselves, their jobs, families, or anything else. Here are some questions to think about if you feel your gambling has gotten out of control:
How can you tell if you or someone you know has a gambling problem?
- Have you often found yourself thinking about gambling (e.g., reliving past gambling experiences, planning the next time you will play or thinking of ways to get money to gamble)?
- Have you needed to gamble with more and more money to get the amount of excitement you are looking for?
- Have you become restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling?
- Have you gambled to escape from problems or when you are feeling depressed, anxious or bad about yourself?
- After losing money gambling, have you returned another day in order to get even?
- Have you lied to your family or others to hide the extent of your gambling?
- Have you made repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back or stop gambling?
- Have you risked or lost a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of gambling?
- Have you sought help from others to provide the money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling?
If you or someone you know answered yes to any of these questions, you can find resources for help by calling or texting
