10.6.7.   Canceling a bonus prior to meeting the Wagering Requirements will result in the forfeiture of the bonus and the winnings derived therefrom;

10.6.8.   You must fulfill a bonus’s Wagering Requirements prior to the date specified in the terms for a specific bonus (“Expiration Date”). If the Wagering Requirements are not satisfied before the Expiration Date, bonus funds and any winnings generated from the wagering of such bonus funds will be forfeited; and

10.6.9.   Accumulated bonus winnings generated from bonus wagers and/or winnings generated from cash wagers that meet the Wagering Requirements for a single bonus that exceed a statutory threshold, may be subject to tax reporting, withholding or required debt offsets.
