1.Introduction

These Terms of Use ("Terms"), together with incorporated policies, govern your access to and use of Mint.io (the "Website") and its related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, which form a binding agreement between you ("User", "Player") and Sage Shark Ltd ("we", "us", "our", "Mint.io"), a limited liability company registered in Costa Rica, licensed by the Anjouan gaming authority to provide online gaming and betting services using blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

In addition to these Terms, the following policies apply to your use of the Services and are incorporated by reference:

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Check the Website regularly.

The Service offers real-money gambling with cryptocurrencies in permitted jurisdictions only. Free-to-play elements (using Mint Bucks) are entertainment only, have no real-world value, and are not redeemable. All games are for entertainment; no real money is required to play free modes, but real-money features require deposits.

Access is strictly prohibited from Excluded Territories (see Section 4). We employ geo-blocking; attempts to circumvent (VPNs, proxies, etc.) result in immediate suspension and potential fund confiscation.

Registration, Authentication, and Verification

To access the full range of the Website and Services — including real-money gameplay, deposits, withdrawals, and rewards — you must create a personal user account (“Account”) through our authentication process powered by Privy.

5.1 Account Creation and Authentication

(a) You must complete the authentication process personally. You may not delegate authentication to any third party or use automated systems, bots, or scripts to create or access an Account.

(b) Authentication is handled through Privy, which provides a secure, passwordless-first experience. Supported login methods include:

Email (via one-time passcode or magic link);
Social/OAuth providers (such as Google, Apple, Telegram, and others);
External crypto wallets;

By authenticating through any of these methods, you create or access your Account. Privy supports progressive authentication, allowing you to link additional methods to the same Account over time.

(c) You represent that any information you provide during authentication (including linked email, phone number, social profile data, or wallet details) is accurate, complete, and current to the extent provided. You are responsible for keeping your linked contact and personal information up to date. Where information is derived from third-party providers (e.g., Google or Apple), you represent that you have the right to link and use that account.

(d) Mint.io reserves the right to reject any authentication or registration attempt at its sole discretion, with or without stating a reason, and without incurring liability.

(e) One Account Only. You may create and maintain only one (1) Account on the Website or Services, including any inactive or previously closed Accounts. Operating multiple Accounts (personally, through third parties, or via linked methods) is strictly prohibited. Violation may result in suspension or termination of all related Accounts, freezing or confiscation of funds and virtual currency, cancellation of bonuses/winnings, and no refunds on deposits or purchases.

(f) If you suspect or discover you have more than one Account (active or inactive), you must notify us immediately via support@mint.io. Do not attempt to create a new Account to update details such as email or linked social/wallet accounts — instead, contact support to merge, link, or update existing ones.

(g) You must keep all linked contact details (email, phone, social accounts, etc.) functional, secure, and accessible. Failure to do so may prevent login, Account recovery, or receipt of important notifications.

(h) The primary authentication flow is passwordless. In most cases, no separate password or traditional username is required. However, after initial authentication, you may optionally set an in-app display name, alias, or custom username for identification within the Website or Services.

(i) Any display name, username, alias, or profile identifier you set must comply with our content rules and must not include:

(i) References to illegal activities (including terrorism or child exploitation);

(ii) Violence, threats, harassment, or hate speech;

(iii) Discriminatory, sexually explicit, or pornographic content;

(iv) Impersonation of others;

(v) Glorification of tragedies, self-harm, or addiction;

(vi) References to recreational/hard drugs (exceptions for alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana in non-promotional contexts);

(vii) Any other content deemed inappropriate or offensive by Mint.io.

5.2. Identity Verification (KYC)

(a) At any time before or after registration, Mint.io may request that you complete identity verification procedures (“Know Your Customer” or “KYC”) to comply with anti-money laundering obligations, licensing regulations, and internal risk controls.

(b) Verification documents may include, but are not limited to:

Government-issued photo identification (e.g., passport, national ID, driver’s license);
Proof of residence (e.g., utility bill, bank statement issued within the last 3 months);
Selfie with ID or video call verification;
Source of funds documentation, in case of high-value transactions.

(c) If you fail to comply with a KYC request, your Account may be restricted or locked until the verification process is completed. Mint.io may also cancel pending withdrawals, bonuses, or bets.

(d) We may engage third-party verification service providers for identity checks. You authorize Mint.io and its agents to conduct these verifications on your behalf.

5.3 Account Access and Security

(a)You are solely responsible for securing all methods used to access your Account (e.g., email, phone, social accounts, passkeys, linked wallets, or devices). Do not share access credentials, recovery phrases, or linked accounts with others.

(b)Any activity conducted under your Account (via any linked authentication method) is presumed authorized by you unless you can demonstrate unauthorized access through compelling evidence.

(c) Enable all available security features (e.g., multi-factor authentication/MFA where offered by Privy or Mint.io). Mint.io is not liable for losses resulting from compromised email, phone, social accounts, devices, or private keys.

(d) If you suspect your Account has been compromised (e.g., lost access to linked methods, unauthorized transactions), notify support@mint.io immediately. We may temporarily lock the Account for investigation. You remain fully responsible for all activity, including any unauthorized use, until we are notified.

(e)Your Account is non-transferable. You may not sell, gift, trade, or otherwise transfer your Account, wallet, balances, or access rights to any third party without our prior written approval. Any attempt to do so is a material breach and may result in immediate termination.

5.4 Prohibited Behavior During Registration and Authentication

(a)You must not provide false, misleading, incomplete, or synthetic information during registration, authentication, or verification.

(b)You must not impersonate any person or entity, create fake identities, use disposable/temporary emails or phones, or employ tools that mask or falsify real information.

(c) You must not register or authenticate on behalf of another person or for business entities unless explicitly authorized by Mint.io through a formal B2B agreement.

5.5 Account Closure and Termination

(a) You may request Account closure at any time by submitting a written request from your registered email to support@mint.io.

(b) Upon closure, any real cryptocurrency balance will be paid out to your verified wallet (subject to KYC, pending bonuses, legal holds, or compliance reviews). Virtual currency (e.g., Mint Bucks) has no value and is forfeited.

You breach these Terms or any policy;
Fraud, abuse, collusion, or AML/KYC violations are suspected;
Regulatory or legal obligations require it.

(d)Termination does not relieve you of prior obligations or liabilities. Mint.io may report activity to authorities if required.

Your Account

Once your registration and authentication are accepted, your Account becomes your personal, non-transferable access point to the Website and Services. By maintaining an Account, you agree to the following terms at all times.

6.1 Account Structure and Balances

(a) Your Account may hold balances in multiple cryptocurrencies for real-money gameplay, as well as virtual currency (Mint Bucks / MBX) for free-to-play / Standard Play modes. All real-money deposits, withdrawals, and wagers are denominated in the specific cryptocurrency you select.

(b) Mint.io may apply real-time or fixed exchange rates (from external providers) for internal calculations or display purposes. You acknowledge that cryptocurrency values fluctuate and Mint.io is not liable for any loss arising from such fluctuations or conversions.

(c) Account balance information is provided for convenience only. Mint.io does not act as a bank, financial institution, or custodial wallet service. We do not hold funds in trust for you beyond what is required for gameplay and withdrawals.

(d) Mint Bucks (“MBX” or “Mint Bucks”) is Mint's in-platform reward currency. When you earn rewards, whether from rakeback, lossback, daily rewards, or tier-up bonuses, MBX are paid out to You.

(e)MBX works like bonus credit: meaning you can use it to place bets on any Mint Originals game and free to play game modes on the Mint Telegram Application, and any winnings from those bets are paid out in real money (USDT/USDC). MBX cannot be withdrawn directly. MBX earned on the Mint Telegram App are non-transferable to the Website application. MBX functions as a non-cashable stake: only profits realised from wagers placed with MBX become withdrawable real-currency funds subject to applicable terms and conditions.

(f )Standard Play refers to participation in any Mint Originals game or Mint Telegram App using Mint Bucks. Mint Bucks may be provided free of charge upon signup, at regular logins, or as rewards. You may also purchase additional MBX, but such purchases are final, non-refundable, and solely for entertainment purposes in Standard Play. No real monetary prizes can be won in Standard Play.

6.2 No Credit or Lending

(a) Mint.io does not extend credit, loans, overdrafts, or any form of financing. You may only wager funds or virtual currency that are already cleared and available in your Account.

(b) Any negative balance caused by system error, technical fault, or user action may be corrected by Mint.io. You remain liable for any resulting debt, which we may pursue through appropriate means.

6.3 Suspension, Restriction, and Closure by Mint.io

(a) Mint.io reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your Account at any time, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe that:

(i) You have violated these Terms, any incorporated policy, or applicable law;

(ii) Fraud, collusion, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, or AML/KYC issues are suspected;

(iii) Your activity threatens the integrity, security, reputation, or compliance of the Website or Services;

(iv) Regulatory, licensing, or legal obligations require us to act.

(b) Upon suspension, restriction, or termination:

Pending wagers, bonuses, or transactions may be voided or cancelled;
Balances (real cryptocurrency or virtual currency) may be frozen, held for investigation, refunded (subject to deductions), or forfeited;
You may be permanently prohibited from re-registering or accessing the Website or Services.

(c) Mint.io may report suspected illegal activity (including fraud, money laundering, or sanctions violations) to relevant regulatory bodies, law enforcement, or financial authorities.

(d) Without limiting the above, we may suspend or close your Account if any of the following occur (among others):

Breach of these Terms or suspicion thereof;
Operation of multiple Accounts;
Mismatch between registered name and payment/wallet details;
Abusive, harassing, or offensive communication with staff or users;
Account inactivity (see 6.4);
Bankruptcy or insolvency;
Failure to verify identity or source of funds;
Use of VPN/proxy/masking tools or false location information;
Allowing third-party use of your Account;
Coordinated play or collusion with others;
Chargeback, dispute, or reversal of payments;
Suspected cheating, fraud, or use of unfair advantage systems;
Failure to meet our customer acceptance criteria.

(e) If your Account is suspended or closed due to breach of these Terms, you remain liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by Mint.io as a result. You agree to indemnify and hold Mint.io harmless for such amounts.

(f) In cases of suspected prohibited conduct, Mint.io may withhold or recover any winnings, bonuses, or balances attributable to the breach. Your details may be shared with regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

6.4 Inactive and Dormant Accounts

(a) An Account is considered inactive if there has been no login or activity for a continuous period of 12 months.

(b) If your Account becomes inactive and holds a positive balance (real cryptocurrency or virtual currency):

We may notify you via your registered email before applying any fees;
A reasonable monthly administrative fee (in cryptocurrency equivalent) may be deducted after 12 months of inactivity;
If the Account remains inactive beyond any legally permitted period, it may be closed and remaining balances treated in accordance with applicable law (which may include forfeiture or escheatment).

(c) Virtual currency (Mint Bucks) held in an inactive Account may be reclaimed or forfeited by Mint.io 30 days after closure.

6.5 Responsible Gaming and Self-Exclusion

(a) You acknowledge that participation in the Website or Services should be for entertainment only and agree to play responsibly.

(b) Mint.io provides tools to set deposit limits, wager limits, loss limits, session time limits, and cooling-off periods. These can be managed via your Account dashboard or by contacting support.

(c) You may request temporary time-outs, self-exclusion (temporary or permanent), or Account closure at any time. During self-exclusion:

Your Account will be locked;
You will not receive promotional communications;
Reopening will only be considered after the exclusion period ends and a formal request is approved.

(d) Mint.io is not liable if you circumvent self-exclusion measures (e.g., by creating new Accounts). We support responsible gaming but cannot guarantee enforcement if you deliberately avoid our tools.

6.6 Account Transfers and Ownership

(a) Your Account, balances, and associated rights are strictly personal and non-transferable. You may not sell, gift, lease, trade, or otherwise transfer your Account or any part of it (including balances, virtual currency, or access) to any third party without our prior written approval.

(b) Any attempt to transfer ownership or access will be treated as a serious breach and may result in immediate termination and forfeiture of all balances.

6.7 Disputes and Transaction Errors

(a) If you believe a transaction, game outcome, or Account balance is incorrect, you must notify Mint.io in writing within 14 days of the event. Failure to do so constitutes acceptance of the result.

(b) Mint.io will investigate claims promptly and in good faith. Our decision is final unless overturned by a competent authority or arbitrator (see Section 17).

(c) In cases of system error, malfunction, or incorrect crediting, Mint.io may void affected transactions and correct balances based on system logs and audits.

Deposits

Deposits are required to access real-money gameplay features on the Website and Services. All deposits must be made in supported cryptocurrencies from wallets legally owned and controlled by you.

Gameplay

The Website and Services offer two distinct modes of participation: real-money gameplay using deposited cryptocurrency and free-to-play / entertainment-only gameplay using virtual currency (Mint Bucks). These modes are clearly separated in the interface, with real-money features requiring verified deposits and subject to wagering and withdrawal rules.

9.1 Real-Money Gameplay

(a) Real-money gameplay involves wagering deposited cryptocurrency on games, bets, or events offered on the Website or Services.

(b) All real-money wagers, outcomes, and winnings are denominated and settled in the cryptocurrency used for the wager.

(d) Game outcomes are determined by certified random number generators (RNGs), provably fair mechanisms (where applicable), or live event results. Mint.io ensures fairness through independent audits and blockchain-verifiable elements where technically feasible.

(e) You acknowledge that real-money gameplay carries a risk of loss and that Mint.io makes no guarantee of profit or return.

(f)All products and services on the Platform are consumed instantly during gameplay. Therefore, we do not offer refunds, returns, or cancellations once a deposit is completed or a Game has been played with real money. Funds wagered are immediately deducted from your account and are considered final. Refund requests based solely on losses or dissatisfaction with gameplay will not be accepted under any circumstances.

9.2 Virtual Currency – Mint Bucks (“MBX”)

Rewards from gameplay, challenges, loyalty programs, or promotions;
Purchases using cryptocurrency (or other enabled methods), which are final and non-refundable.

(f) Any Mint Bucks balance is forfeited upon Account closure, termination, or prolonged inactivity (see Section 6.4). Mint.io may reclaim or remove Mint Bucks from inactive Accounts without notice or compensation.

9.3 Separation of Modes

(a) The Website or Services clearly distinguish between real-money gameplay and Standard Play / free-to-play modes. Real-money features are labeled as such and require deposited cryptocurrency; Standard Play uses only Mint Bucks.

(b) Winnings or balances earned in Standard Play (using Mint Bucks) cannot be transferred to real-money balances, withdrawn, or converted.

These Terms (including all incorporated policies, schedules, and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with them, the Website, the Services, your Account, any transactions, gameplay, or your relationship with Mint.io) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica, without regard to its conflict of laws principles or rules that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(c) If the Dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days of your initial written notice to support@mint.io, either party may proceed to the formal dispute resolution mechanisms below.

17.2 Choice of Formal Resolution

Subject to Section 18 (Binding Arbitration), any unresolved Dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Costa Rica, in accordance with Section 16 (Governing Law).

Mint.io may also seek injunctive, equitable, or interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm (e.g., breach of intellectual property rights, fraud, account abuse, or ongoing prohibited conduct) pending final resolution.

18.Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 18 CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REQUIRES YOU AND MINT.IO TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. IT ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND OTHER IMPORTANT PROVISIONS.

18.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Mint.io agree that, except for certain exceptions listed below, any and all past, present, or future Disputes (as defined in Section 17.1) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration under the Arbitration Law of Costa Rica (Law No. 10535, as amended, based on the UNCITRAL Model Law), administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in accordance with its Rules of Arbitration in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced.

This agreement to arbitrate applies to the fullest extent permitted by law and covers Disputes relating to the formation, validity, scope, enforceability, interpretation, or termination of these Terms or this arbitration provision.

18.2 Exceptions to Arbitration

The following Disputes are not subject to this arbitration agreement and may be brought in the courts of San José, Costa Rica (or, where mandatory consumer law applies, in your country of residence):

Claims properly brought in small claims court (if the claim qualifies);
Claims seeking only injunctive, declaratory, or equitable relief (including preliminary injunctions) to protect intellectual property rights, prevent fraud, stop unauthorized Account access, or address imminent irreparable harm;
Enforcement actions related to any arbitration award.

18.3 Arbitration Rules, Seat, and Procedure

(a) The arbitration shall be administered by the ICC under its Rules of Arbitration.

(b) Seat/place of arbitration: San José, Costa Rica.

(d) Number of arbitrators:

One (1) arbitrator for Disputes where the amount in controversy is USD 100,000 equivalent or less;
Three (3) arbitrators for Disputes exceeding USD 100,000 equivalent or involving complex issues (each party appoints one, and the two appointed arbitrators select the third as chair). (e) The arbitrator(s) shall be independent, impartial, and experienced in commercial or gaming-related disputes. (f) Proceedings may be conducted virtually/remotely if agreed or deemed appropriate by the tribunal. (g) The arbitrator has exclusive authority to rule on the arbitrability of any Dispute, including enforceability, scope, or validity of this arbitration agreement. (h) The award shall be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction under the New York Convention and Costa Rican law.

18.4 No Class, Collective, or Representative Actions

Arbitration shall proceed on an individual basis only. You and Mint.io expressly waive any right to:

Class, collective, mass, group, or representative arbitration or litigation;
Act as a private attorney general;
Consolidate or join claims of other individuals or entities;
Participate in any arbitration or court proceeding as a class member.

This class/collective action waiver is severable. If a court or arbitrator finds it unenforceable as to any particular Dispute, the entire arbitration agreement shall be deemed null and void for that Dispute only.

18.5 Costs and Fees

Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees and costs, unless the arbitrator awards otherwise (e.g., for frivolous or bad-faith claims). Arbitration filing and administrative fees follow the ICC Rules. Mint.io will pay any fees required to ensure this arbitration provision is not deemed unconscionable or unenforceable under applicable law.

18.6 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this binding arbitration agreement (but not the rest of these Terms) by sending a written notice to Mint.io within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms (or the date this clause is materially amended):

Sage Shark Ltd

Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out

Provincia 01, San Jose, Canton 02, San Rafael District, Costa Rica

The notice must include your full name, Account username/email, mailing address, and a clear statement: “I opt out of the binding arbitration agreement in Section 18 of the Mint.io Terms of Use.”

Opting out does not affect other arbitration agreements you may have with Mint.io. If you validly opt out, Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of San José, Costa Rica (subject to mandatory consumer law rights).

18.7 Survival

This Section 18 (Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) survives termination of these Terms, closure of your Account, or any other cessation of your relationship with Mint.io.
