What is ToS?It is Term of Service, abbreviated as ToS.
On some platforms, there is another term that used for the same purpose, called as a User Agreement.
There are lots of things presented in ToS, but there are some vital parts that you must read them carefully before doing deposits to your accounts. Because if you are not careful, you might lose your money, and those platforms have rights to reject your deposit returns when you fraud them, or violate their rules in ToS.
Don't take risks and waste your time by trying to cheat them with VPS, multiple accounts. Eventually, you will be found, and you will lose your money (original capital or profits from tradings/ gamblings).
Like in the forum, you can not break rules, plagiarise, then ask for forgiveness after being permanent banned. On exchanges/ casinos, you can not cheat/ abuse/ break their rules and ask for supports or forgiveness.
- Restrictions, such as restricted locations
- Number of allowable accounts: allow multi accounts/ linked-accounts or not.
- Restricted activities (discover by yourself)
- Identities verification (discover by yourself)
- More things
Another method to fastly get them (but you might miss some details) is reading FAQs
almost never read them
I just read their FAQs and helpdesk section
faqs usually points out the important things from the ToS
and helpdesk Q and A contains further information on specific instance case
Restricted locationsI give some examples from some exchanges and casinos
BittrexAccording to our Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to terminate all the accounts onto the same IP. The rules apply to the accounts, coming from the same family, household, relative or a connected person that might be somehow linked with the acc.
I would also recommend the following site:
https://tosdr.org/ - Terms of Service; Didn't Read. It essentially provides easy to read and understand summaries of what you are agreeing to when you sign up to various sites. Unfortunately it doesn't have much crypto cover yet (Coinbase is the only site on there as far as I am aware), but a good resource nonetheless.
My favorite things I usually do when I have intention to join new platforms, in orders of priority, is:
- Reading FAQs
- Reading Term of Service/ Term and Conditions/ User agreements. The exact phrase will depend on each platform.
Pay your attention and keep you updated with changes on KYC requirements
Search on KYC when register account is good but not enough. Companies change their policies and KYC is one of possible changes. I know some people don't log in their accounts or don't revisit company websites when they feel disappointed with loss. It is a bad behavior because risks of freeze on inactive accounts or KYC requirements.
Please see the announcement of Bitmex:
Announcing the BitMEX User Verification Programme. This change is applied for international users, globally and not only in the US.
Another information need to be noted is window time of KYC verification, on Bitmex, you will be allowed to finish KYC till 12 Feb. 2021. Furthermore, pay your attention on window time to withdraw your fund if you don't want to do KYC.
The User Verification Programme will go live from 00:00 UTC on 28 August 2020. It will be mandatory for all BitMEX users to have completed identity verification by 12 February 2021 at 00:00 UTC in order to continue trading on our platform.
You can take a glance at the service from Pmalek and do your own double checks on ToS or FAQ pages of the casino you are interested in.
