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 ("Mint.io", "we", "us", "our"), a limited liability company registered in Costa Rica. This gaming platform operates under License No. ALSI-202507035-FI2, issued by the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan pursuant to the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005. All licensed activities are subject to the compliance and supervision frameworks managed by Anjouan Licensing Services Inc.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you must refrain from using the Website or accessing the Service.
In addition to these Terms, the following policies apply to your use of the Services and are incorporated by reference:
● Privacy Policy
● Responsible Gaming Policy
● KYC and AML Policy
We may update these Terms in accordance with Section 15. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. Please check the Website regularly for the current version.
The Service offers real-money gambling with supported cryptocurrencies in permitted jurisdictions only. All games and betting products are provided for entertainment, and real-money participation requires a supported cryptocurrency balance.
Access to real-money services is prohibited if you are not otherwise eligible under Section 4 or are physically located in an Excluded Territory. If you are otherwise eligible, you may use a VPN or similar privacy tool for legitimate privacy or security purposes, but not to bypass geo-blocking or misrepresent your location, residence or eligibility. Suspected circumvention may result in temporary Account restrictions while Mint.io verifies your eligibility.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION: PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDE A PROVISION WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLASS, INTERNATIONAL OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM AND REQUIRING YOU TO PURSUE PAST, PENDING, AND FUTURE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION UNLESS YOU OPT OUT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME FRAME. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THESE PROVISIONS. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE SEE SECTION 18 OF THESE TERMS OF USE.
2. Your Obligations
As a user of the Mint.io Platform, you agree to comply with these Terms, and the following obligations, requirements, and responsibilities at all times while accessing or using the Website, regardless of whether you do so as a guest or as a registered account holder.

(a) You declare that you are over 18 years of age or such higher minimum legal age of majority as stipulated in the jurisdiction of your residence and are, under the laws applicable to you, legally allowed to participate in the Games offered on the Platform.
(b) You agree that Mint.io reserves the right to request valid proof of age and identity at any time. Failure to provide such documents may result in the suspension or termination of your Account and the voiding of any transactions or winnings.

2.3 Use of Tools to Conceal Identity
(a) You may use a VPN, proxy or similar privacy or security tool if you are otherwise eligible under Section 4 and are not physically located in an Excluded Territory, provided it is not used to falsify your location or identity, evade KYC/AML or security checks, operate multiple Accounts, or conceal fraudulent or prohibited activity. Remote desktops, emulators and automation tools must not be used to disguise device activity, share an Account or gain an unfair advantage.
(b) Where we reasonably suspect that a tool has been used for a prohibited purpose, we may temporarily restrict the Account or withdrawals and require reasonable evidence of physical location, residence, identity, device ownership or Account control. We may require you to disable the tool while verification is completed. Failure to cooperate, or a confirmed breach, may result in Account closure, voiding of affected activity, withholding of funds where connected to fraud or prohibited activity, and any further action required by law. VPN use alone is not a breach.

(e) Prohibited commercial uses include (without limitation):
(i) Selling or offering access to the Website or Services on third-party sites;

(b) It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your access to and participation in the Website or Services is lawful in your jurisdiction of residence and current location.
(c) Using a VPN or privacy tool is not itself a breach where you are otherwise eligible under Section 4 and are not physically located in an Excluded Territory. Knowingly using one to access the Service while ineligible, falsify location or residence information, evade compliance controls, operate abusive multiple Accounts, or participate on behalf of another person constitutes a material breach. Mint.io may close the Account, void bets, bonuses or winnings connected to the breach, recover losses, and withhold funds where required by law or reasonably connected to fraud, chargebacks, bonus abuse, compliance issues or prohibited activity.
(d) In the event of such breach, you waive any right to pursue claims against Mint.io or its affiliates in the courts of your jurisdiction of residence or the jurisdiction from which access occurred, except where such waiver is not permitted by mandatory law.

3.6 Mint.io may also publish additional terms and conditions for specific features, promotions, tournaments, VIP programs, the Mint Loyalty and Rewards Program, games, or services.

5. 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 rewards, 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) Mint.io may request identity verification, source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information where required by licensing, AML, security or risk-control obligations.
(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 available cryptocurrency balance will be paid out to your verified wallet, subject to KYC, pending bonuses, legal holds, compliance reviews, withdrawal requirements, and any other restrictions permitted under these Terms.
(c) Mint.io may suspend or terminate your Account at its sole discretion if:
● 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.
6. 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 supported cryptocurrencies for real-money gameplay. Deposits, withdrawals, and wagers are denominated in the specific cryptocurrency selected for the relevant transaction or gameplay.
(b) Mint.io may apply real-time or fixed exchange rates from external providers for internal calculations, wagering, settlement or display. Any conversion rate used for display, wagering or settlement will be shown at the relevant point where applicable. Fiat equivalent balances are for display or reference only unless expressly stated otherwise. You acknowledge that cryptocurrency values can fluctuate, stablecoins may depeg, and Mint.io is not liable for losses arising from such fluctuations, depegs or conversions.

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 that are already cleared and available in your Account.

6.3 Suspension, Restriction, and Closure by Mint.io

(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;

● 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;

● 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 or confirmed prohibited conduct, Mint.io may withhold or recover any winnings, bonuses or balances attributable to the breach, or otherwise connected to fraud, chargebacks, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, compliance issues or legal obligations. Such withholding may continue for as long as necessary, including indefinitely where permitted or required. 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, we may contact you using your registered contact details and may close the Account after any legally required process. Any remaining balance will be handled in accordance with applicable law and these Terms.
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

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.
7. 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. Mint.io does not accept fiat currency deposits, bank transfers, credit/debit cards, or e-wallets unless explicitly enabled through regulated payment partners and announced on the Website.
7.1 Accepted Deposit Methods
(a) Deposits are accepted exclusively in supported cryptocurrencies and networks displayed in the deposit interface.
(b) The list of accepted cryptocurrencies, networks and standards may be updated, restricted, or expanded by Mint.io at any time due to legal, technical, network, or commercial reasons. Only deposits made using an asset and network shown as supported in the cashier will be credited automatically.
7.2 Deposit Procedure and Confirmation
(a) To deposit, transfer cryptocurrency from a wallet you own and control to the unique deposit address or QR code generated specifically for your Account in the Website or Services.
(b) A deposit is considered successful and credited to your Account only after:
● The transaction receives the required number of blockchain confirmations (as determined by Mint.io for each cryptocurrency);
● The transaction is verified and recorded on our system.
(c) Delays may occur due to blockchain congestion, network fees, incorrect gas settings, mempool issues, stablecoin depegs, third-party wallet or exchange issues, or other factors outside Mint.io's control. You are responsible for selecting the correct asset, network and any required memo or tag. If an error occurs, contact Support with the transaction hash so we can assess whether recovery is technically possible. Mint.io is not responsible for any loss, delay, or non-crediting caused by user error.
7.3 Deposit Ownership and Legality
(a) All deposits must originate from wallets or payment methods legally owned and beneficially controlled by you. Deposits from third-party wallets, shared wallets, mixers/tumblers, corporate/business accounts, or anonymizing services are prohibited and may result in immediate freezing of funds pending AML investigation.
(b) You warrant that all deposited funds are from legitimate sources and do not derive from illegal activities, including (but not limited to) money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud, or sanctions evasion.
(c) Mint.io reserves the right to request proof of source of funds (SoF) or source of wealth (SoW) for any deposit, especially for larger or repeated transactions, or where suspicious activity is detected.

(c) You will be notified if a proposed deposit falls outside permitted limits. Attempting to circumvent limits (e.g., multiple sub-minimum deposits) may be treated as abuse and result in Account restrictions.
7.5 Conversion and Exchange Risks
(a) Deposits are credited in the cryptocurrency received. Mint.io does not provide internal exchange or swap services between cryptocurrencies.
(b) If you wish to convert funds between cryptocurrencies, you must do so externally and at your own risk. Mint.io is not liable for losses due to external exchange rate fluctuations, failed swaps, or off-platform transactions.
7.6 Promotions and Bonuses on Deposit

(b) Failure to meet bonus conditions within the specified timeframe may result in forfeiture of the bonus and any associated winnings.
7.7 General Deposit Rules
(a) Mint.io may reject, reverse, or hold any deposit if it suspects fraud, AML violations, or breach of these Terms.

Deposited funds remain subject to the separate playthrough requirement in Section 8.1(a)(ii).
(b) Only real-money wagers on qualifying games contribute toward meeting wagering requirements.

Eligibility is determined by the active Promotion configuration and the applicable Promotion Terms and may include a maximum RTP, excluded game tags, excluded game IDs, excluded categories or products, and other game-specific restrictions. Games above the configured maximum RTP, live casino games, Plinko, and any other games expressly excluded in the applicable Promotion Terms do not contribute.

Deposited funds remain subject to the separate playthrough requirement in Section 8.1(a)(ii).
(f) While wagering requirements are active, the maximum permitted bet is USD 10 equivalent per game round, spin or hand, unless a lower limit is clearly stated in the applicable Promotion Terms.
(g) You may ask Support to cancel an active Bonus at any time. On cancellation, any remaining Bonus funds and winnings generated from the Bonus will be removed.

This includes, without limitation, using multiple Accounts, coordinated or offsetting bets, excluded game features, technical exploits, or betting patterns intended to reduce wagering risk or obtain an unfair advantage.

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.
(c) Language: English (or Spanish if required by mandatory law or agreed by the parties).
(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.
