5. What is a PAGATY PVR e-wallet?

Your PAGATY PVR e-wallet is a payment account maintained under your name, that holds e-money. E-money is an electronic alternative to cash. We are offering e-wallets only in Euro.

With your PAGATY PVR e-wallet you can do the following:

Hold, send to and receive funds from other PAGATY Users (P2P).
Hold, send and receive funds.
Redeem money from your e-wallet by sending it to your debit, prepaid or credit card, or by sending it to your bank account.
Perform and monitor deposits and withdrawals to and from your Gaming Account.
Receive verified winnings from your Gaming Account to your PAGATY Account.
Top up your e-wallet Account with a deposit made in cash at a Location (as defined in section 14.1) pursuant to the provisions of Section 14. 1 (Reload).
Withdraw funds from within your e-wallet in cash at a Location pursuant to the provisions of Sections 14.2 (Returns) and 14.3 below.

We reserve the right to activate or deactivate any of the above or other features of your PAGATY PVR e-wallet based on our agreement with MACAO SRL.

You should never allow anyone to operate your PAGATY PVR e-wallet on your behalf. All activities carried out in your account are deemed as activities carried out by you and you represent and warrant that you are the sole beneficiary of your Account.

You may only open one PAGATY PVR e-wallet. The opening of duplicate accounts for the same customer shall be refused. Where duplicate Accounts are detected, they shall be closed or merged.

If we add new features or services, we may notify you via the email address you have given us when you opened the e-wallet. However, it is your responsibility to regularly check the Website where the updated features and services are displayed.

You can maintain balances in your PAGATY Account; however, you will not receive any interest on the money in your Account. PAGATY PVR e-wallet is an electronic money account and is not a bank account. Electronic money accounts are not allowed by the European Law to receive any paying interest. Electronic money is not a deposit or investment under the Cyprus Law and is therefore not protected by any deposit protection scheme or the investor compensation fund scheme that is provided for in Cyprus.

Every transaction executed, will appear in your transaction history.

7. Protecting your account

You must take appropriate steps to protect your Account from being misused. You must take reasonable steps to secure your devices, items, IDs, passwords required to access your PAGATY Account. You should PROTECT your security credentials by storing them safely. We advise that you change your password regularly and ensure that it is not reused in other online accounts.

In order to ensure the safety of your Account and of the Services provided to you, you agree to do the following:

Try to conceal your password in order to make it hard for others to understand.
Try to avoid using as a password information that can be known to a number of people, like your birthday, ID number, telephone number, or a sequence of letters and number that can easily be guessed.
Try not to allow any prying eyes from seeing you entering your login details.
Refrain from using any functionality, either device or software specific, that allows you to store (“remember”) your login details as they may be compromised.
Ensure that you do not remain logged in your Account after you have finished accessing the Services.
Do not allow other people to use your PAGATY Account.
Do not share your security credentials with anyone else.

In some cases, we may ask you to authenticate an instruction related to your Account.

This is necessary to ensure that it’s you who is giving us the instruction. This could include your email and password in order to successfully log into your Account to provide us with your instruction.

If your security credentials are stolen, lost, used without authorization or compromised, you should immediately contact support@oktopayments.com and change your password without delay.

We do not accept responsibility for any interference or damage to your own computer system which arises in connection with your accessing of this Website or any other website. You must take your own precautions to ensure that you are not exposed to the risk of viruses or other form of interference which may damage your own computer system.

8. How is your Account balance protected?

When money is received from you for the services, Sureswipe E.M.I PLC will issue the equivalent value of e-money and place it in your e-wallet. The equivalent money received from you are deposited into a pooled safeguarding client account with a bank in the European Union, separated from the EMIs own money. This means that, in case of insolvency, your e-money will not be used against payment of the company’s liabilities. Your money is safe and protected in accordance with the Electronic Money Regulations which are designed to ensure the safety of funds held in electronic money accounts like your PAGATY Account. Unlike banks, there is no lending out customer money and your account has no interest bearing. Instead of protecting your money in a deposit guarantee scheme which does not apply to our services, your money is safeguarded by Sureswipe E.M.I.
Safeguarding means that, by law, your money is kept in accounts that are completely separate from corporate accounts that are used for running a business. These funds are called ‘safeguarded funds’. This means that, in case of insolvency, your e-money will not be used against payment of EMI’s liabilities. It should be noted that segregated account(s) will be established, maintained, and operated according to the applicable rules and regulations. The banking institution(s) will receive instructions regarding the transfer and the movement (s) of the money.

9. How to get information about your PAGATY PVR e-wallet?

You can view your PAGATY Account statement by logging into your PAGATY Account. All your transactions will appear in the transaction history section of your PAGATY PVR e-wallet. You can access the transaction history when you log in to your PAGATY Account and select the transactions tab/button.

The Account information is available for five (5) years after you close your Account with us. We highly recommend that you do not disable notifications from us but, if you choose to do so, you will have to check your payments regularly on the PAGATY App.

You need to check your PAGATY PVR e-wallet regularly and let us know immediately if you see a transaction that was not authorized by you or a payment that you think might be made incorrectly. You can do this no later than thirteen (13) months from the date of the transaction otherwise, you are not entitled to any correction of errors or refund of funds. With this you acknowledge and agree to review your Transactions through your PAGATY Account, and the relevant transaction history section and you understand and accept that no period statements will be sent to you either physical or by e-mail.

The Available Balance in your Account should always be positive or zero. If your PAGATY PVR e-wallet goes negative as a result of a reversal of a transaction or any other action, the EMI may ask you to repay the negative balance within seven (7) Business Days. In case you fail to do so, we will close your PAGATY Account and terminate this Agreement.

10. Adding money to your PAGATY Account

Each time you want to add money in your PAGATY PVR e-wallet (top up), you may select the funding source of your preference. You can use a debit, prepaid or credit card that you have saved in the PAGATY App. The debit, prepaid or credit card you will use to top up your wallet must be in your name. You can also add money to your PAGATY PVR e-wallet by making a bank transfer. If you use a card or a bank account in another currency to top up your PAGATY wallet, the card provider may charge you a fee. For the funding of your account, you can also deposit cash in any of our Locations (if and where available) as further described in section 14 (Reloads and Returns) below.

When you add money to your Account the equivalent amount of e-money will be issued in Euro. The e-money will be stored in your Account, and you can use them for the available Transactions. For now, the electronic money can be issued only in Euro.

All debit, prepaid and credit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. We are not responsible if the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise the top up of your Account. In this case, no money will be added to your Account. You accept that the credit institution (or intermediary involved in the process) may reverse any part of the funds, for any reason; as a result, we shall immediately reverse the respective amount from the PAGATY PVR e-wallet net of any transfer fees or other charges, using the same transfer method as the one through which you originally added the funds.

Your balance in your PAGATY Account will always be used for your next payment transaction. In the event where you do not wish to use the existing balance but would rather use a balance from another funding source for your next payment, you will only be able to do so by withdrawing the entire current balance of your Account and then using the other funding source to fund your account with fresh e-money. Please keep your funding information (i.e., debit/prepaid/credit card number and expiration date) up to date.

Sureswipe and/or us may limit the funding sources that will be available to you when adding money to your PAGATY Account in order to mitigate the potential risk linked with the use of certain funding sources. Any such limitation will be communicated to you before the Transaction is executed, at which time you will be asked to provide an alternative funding source (for example use of bank transfer as opposed to a debit card).

We may limit the adding of money in your Account, either by requirement of the anti-money laundering laws and regulations, or at our reasonable discretion (for example, without limitation, to limit fraud or credit risk). In no event will such limits exceed the maximum allowable limits set by the applicable legislation including mainly the anti-money laundering legislation.

We impose limits on the amount you want to add to your e-wallet for legal and security reasons in accordance with the PAGATY Information Sheet, to which you agree to be bound. In case you want to add more money than your limit, you can upgrade your Account, and you will be requested to provide us with some additional information and documentation.

11. Receiving money in your PAGATY PVR e-wallet

Receiving money in your PAGATY PVR e-wallet can take place as follows:

Through the PAGATY PVR e-wallet of the payer to your PAGATY PVR e-wallet (user-to-user Transaction)
Through verified bank account transfers (internet-open banking, phone banking etc.)*
Through a dedicated IBAN connected to your e-wallet*

* Service availability planned Q2 2025 (terms will reflect this when available).

When you receive money into your Account from another PAGATY user, the Transaction will appear in the transaction history of the PAGATY App and will be added to your Available Balance by the end of the Business Day on which the funds were received.

In order to receive funds from a Third Party who does not have a PAGATY Account through verified bank account transfers, the Third Party must provide all the necessary information for the remittance of funds, including the identity of the recipient-you (i.e. name and surname of the PAGATY Account holder who shall receive the funds, reference number or any other information requested). Should the remittance of funds towards you does not fulfill all legal, compliance or other requirements such as the abovementioned, the Transaction may be either suspended until all necessary information is collected or cancelled. If the remittance transaction is cancelled, the remitted funds will not be credited to your Account, and the remitted funds will be sent back to the sending Third Party account, after all expenses or costs occurred during the transaction have been deducted.

The money you receive may be subject to reversal. You agree that, if the person who sends you the money or the relevant service provider reverses the amount, Sureswipe will deduct the amount from your PAGATY Account.

Sureswipe and/or us may put limitations on the receipt of money in your PAGATY Account, in order to comply with the applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, or at Sureswipe’s and/or our reasonable discretion (for example, without limitation, to limit fraud or credit risk). In no event will such limits exceed the maximum allowable limits set by the applicable legislation, including mainly the anti-money laundering legislation. Any such limits set can be viewed in your Account details.

We impose receipt limits on all Accounts in accordance with the PAGATY Information Sheet, to which you agree to be bound. In case you want to receive more money than your limit, you can upgrade your Account, and you will be requested to provide us with some additional information and documentation.

12. Withdrawal/redemption of electronic money from your PAGATY PVR e-wallet

You can redeem money from your PAGATY PVR e-wallet by transferring the relevant funds directly to a bank account in your name or to your debit, prepaid or credit card that you specify in the section “money out” and follow the instructions. Note that, if you send the money to your debit card and you want to withdraw in cash, the payment service provider will charge you a fee. Fees apply to withdrawals. Fees are disclosed in advance each time you initiate a withdrawal.

When you give us instruction to transfer any amount from your PAGATY balance, you agree that you authorize us to transfer the Electronic Money to the bank account or debit card in your name. Any payment order given by the User is considered as received by us immediately and is executed pursuant to the agreement with the third payment service providers within three (3) business days at the latest or within the same business day when there is no participation of any third payment service provider.

The transfer can only be made to an existing funding source that has been confirmed as your own. You can instruct us to withdraw any amount from your PAGATY balance in the currency the balance is maintained for as long as the funding source can accept payments denominated in the currency of your account. E-wallets are only offered in Euro and do not offer currency conversion for now.

In certain situations, a withdrawal/redemption of funds may be delayed, to comply with the anti-money laundering and other legal obligations. We may also delay a withdrawal/redemption to protect you, other users and itself from loss or if it needs to confirm that you are the one who has authorized the withdrawal.

Your withdrawals are subject to limits in accordance with the PAGATY Information Sheet, to which you agree to be bound. You may need to upgrade your Account in order to be able to withdraw more money than your specified limits by completing the necessary steps set out in the PAGATY Information Sheet. This means that you will be required to provide us with further information and documents.

13. Sending money from your PAGATY PVR e-wallet

Once you submit a payment order, we consider that you have given consent and authorized us to execute the Transaction.

You can send money to other PAGATY users instantly in the section “SEND”, choose a recipient from your phone contacts, and follow the instructions to complete the transfer. The other person will receive the payment immediately. You have the option to send money in Euro.

You need to have enough available funds in your Account to cover the amount of any Transaction you make plus any additional fees. We reserve the right not to conclude a transaction until it receives cleared funds.

When making a transfer, make sure that the details of the person you want to pay are correct. If they are not, the payment may be delayed, or you may lose your money if you send it to the wrong account. Make sure that you know the person you are making a payment to. If someone requests a payment from you, make sure that you know who he is and what the payment is for to prevent being a victim of a scam.

We are not responsible for money sent to the wrong recipient as a result of incorrect information provided by you. If you have provided wrong information to us, you may ask us to assist you in recovering the money, but we cannot guarantee you that these efforts will be successful.
