Chargebacks and Disputed Deposits
Disputing or charging back deposits will result in permanent deactivation. You’ll also lose your original deposit and any winnings from entries placed after that disputed deposit. Arena rules for disputed deposits in detail:
• Permanent Deactivation: Disputing a deposit (initiating a chargeback with your bank or payment provider) is a direct violation of the terms of service and will lead to the permanent deactivation of your account.
• Forfeiture of funds: The initial disputed deposit amount and any winnings generated from contests entered after that deposit will be immediately voided, forfeited, and deducted from your balance.
• Debt Owed: If, after these deductions, your account balance becomes negative, you are responsible for this negative balance as an "uncontestable debt" payable immediately to Arena.
• Legal Action & Information Sharing: Arena reserves the right to inform relevant authorities (e.g., law enforcement, tax authorities) and pursue criminal or civil proceedings in connection with the conduct. They may also request your bank to freeze or seize funds related to the disputed amount.
• No Refunds on Deposits: All deposits are considered final and nonrefundable once submitted.
