The Player Agreement, the OLG Rules Respecting iGaming Lottery Games (“iLottery Rules”), the applicable Lottery Game Rules, and the applicable tickets (as defined in the iLottery Rules) are hereby incorporated into and form part of these Direct Pay Subscription Terms. Any conflict or inconsistency between these Direct Pay Subscription Terms and any of the foregoing documents shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3 of the Player Agreement. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Player Agreement.
3. By checking the “accept” box, a Player is confirming that they understand and agree to be bound by these Direct Pay Subscription Terms.
