DMCA Policy

Last updated: 07 April 2026

The DMCA Policy page details 18Club Gaming’s process for handling copyright complaints and explains what copyright owners and users need to know about DMCA notices and counter-notifications.

18Club Gaming (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Site”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners can notify us of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and how we may respond.

If you believe that material available on or through our Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to us as described below.

Important: This Policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure about your rights or obligations, you should seek advice from a qualified legal professional.

Scope of this DMCA Policy

This DMCA Policy applies to:

• Copyrighted material that appears on the 18Club Gaming website.
• Content we host or display, including text, images, and other media, to the extent applicable.

It does not apply to:

• Content hosted on third‑party websites that we may link to or reference (for example, external casinos, payment providers, or other sites).
• Disputes about trademarks, privacy, or other non‑copyright issues (these may require different legal processes).

If the alleged infringement is on a third‑party website, you must contact that site or its designated agent directly.

Designated copyright contact

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on our Site in a way that constitutes infringement, you may send a written notice to our copyright contact:

• By email: copyright@18clubgaming.com
• Or through the contact details/form on our Contact page, clearly marking your message as a “DMCA Notice”.

(Replace the email with your real address before publishing.)

We may update our contact details from time to time; any changes will be reflected on this page or the Contact page.

How to submit a DMCA takedown notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your written notice should substantially include all of the following information:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
   • If your notice covers multiple works, you may provide a representative list of such works.
2. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and that you request to be removed or to which access is to be disabled.
   • Provide precise URLs or other information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on our Site.
3. Your contact information, including:
   • Your full name (or the name of the authorised representative).
   • Postal address.
   • Telephone number.
   • Email address.
4. A statement that you have a good‑faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Your physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name at the end of the notice, if sent electronically).

If your notice does not contain the required information, we may not be able to process it or respond promptly.

What happens after we receive a DMCA notice

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we may take one or more of the following steps:

• Review the identified material to confirm it is hosted or controlled by us.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, where appropriate and feasible.
• Notify the user or contributor (if any) who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it in response to a DMCA notice.
• In some cases, terminate or restrict access for repeat infringers, as described in Section 6 below.

We may also request additional information from you if any part of your notice is unclear or incomplete.

Please be aware that, under the DMCA, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you knowingly misrepresent that material or activity is infringing.

Counter‑notification

If material has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe that this removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter‑notification.

A valid counter‑notification should include:

1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
2. Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
3. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of:
   • The federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (if you are in the United States), or
   • Any judicial district in which the service provider may be found (if you are outside the United States),
   and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.
4. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Counter‑notifications should be sent to the same copyright contact listed in Section 2.

If we receive a valid counter‑notification, we may:

• Forward a copy of the counter‑notification to the original complainant.
• Inform the complainant that we may restore the material within a reasonable time (for example, 10–14 business days) unless we receive notice that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
• Restore the material if we do not receive notice of such an action within the applicable time period, as permitted by law.

We are not required to restore content in all cases and may exercise our own discretion subject to legal obligations.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we may terminate or restrict access to the Site for users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. The decision to treat a user as a repeat infringer may take into account:

• The number of valid notices received relating to that user’s content.
• The seriousness of the alleged infringements.
• Any other relevant factors we consider appropriate.

We may also remove content pre‑emptively, at our discretion, where we believe it presents a significant risk of infringement or legal exposure.

Misrepresentations and abuse of the DMCA process

The DMCA provides that any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages.

To avoid misuse of this process:

• Only submit a DMCA notice if you are certain that your rights are being infringed and that your use is not covered by exceptions such as fair use or similar doctrines.
• Only submit a counter‑notification if you genuinely believe the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.

If you are unsure, seek legal advice before submitting a notice or counter‑notification.

This DMCA Policy operates in conjunction with:

• Our Terms and Conditions

• Changes in law or legal interpretations of the DMCA or similar regimes.
