However, if you play in a Cash Competition that requires an entry paid in U.S. Dollars, then you are a “Cash User”. The funds in your Account will be held as “Deposit Cash” in your MPL Wallet. An account may be funded with “Deposit Cash” in one of two ways: (1) by a “Cash User” who deposits U.S. Dollars into the user’s Account; or (2) by MPL, which may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, credit Deposit Cash into your MPL Wallet. If MPL credits Deposit Cash into your MPL Wallet, that Deposit Cash credit will be available for use only after the funds deposited by a ‘Cash User’ have been fully utilized. Unless otherwise specified at the time, any Deposit Cash that is credited by MPL to your MPL Wallet will automatically expire after two weeks from the date of credit.
For the purpose of deposit of U.S. Dollars and achieving a positive account balance, our payment partners may require you to submit your applicable Payment Information for processing. “Payment Information” includes without limitation your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and billing addresses for billing and notification.

All payments must be made through a form of payment specifically accepted by us and also be in a currency permitted to be used by us. We currently do not accept cash, personal or business checks or any other payment form. MPL utilizes Hyperwallet payment services to deliver payments to you. Such payment services are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. When you pay for any charges by credit card, you represent to us that you are the authorized user of such credit card. You must promptly notify us of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, or if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason.

27. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Claims or Disputes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims or disputes in respect of or relating to the Services shall be filed within a period of one year from the date of the occurrence of the cause of action (in the manner agreed to in these Terms). If a claim or dispute isn’t filed within one year, it is permanently barred.
(b) Equitable Relief. You agree that we would be irreparably damaged if these Terms were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy we may have at law, and notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate Disputes, we are entitled without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to seek appropriate equitable remedies with respect to your violation of these Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and MPL agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and MPL are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

(e) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
(f) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(g) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 26(d) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
(h) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND CLIENT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
(i) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 26(h) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

Part II – Playing safely and responsibly on the MPL Platform
Caribbean stud poker is a casino poker game based on traditional five-card games where you have to play against the house rather than players and beat them with the best possible five-card poker hand. You can play Caribbean stud poker with strategies and rules to make big wins, especially in high-stakes games.
House edge is the advantage of the casino or dealers over the players. It is the percentage of each bet that the casino expects to keep over the long run, which is typically around 5.22%. Players should avoid side bets to minimize the house edge and maximize returns.
Royal Flush is the best Caribbean Stud poker hand with a payout odd of 100-1. It is followed by the straight flush, four-of-a-kind, full house, three-of-a-kind, flush, etc.
You can win at Caribbean poker online games either when the dealer fails to qualify or by beating the dealer's hand with a better hand when he qualifies.
The dealers and players receive a five-card hand each, face down. The dealers turn their last card face up to indicate to the players.
The payout odds in Caribbean Stud poker online games depend on the hand rankings, such as 100 to 1 for a Royal flush, 50 to 1 for a straight flush, 20 to 1 for a four-of-a-kind flush, full house 7 to 1, three of a kind 3 to 1, and more.
The 5+1 bonus bets are optional side bets that players can place along with their standard bets. Players can win additional bonuses if they have a stronger hand than the dealers. The bonus is typically in the range of $1 to $5 in regular Caribbean Stud poker games.
