Arbitration shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, and administered by an accepted arbitrator in accordance with commercial arbitration rules.

2. Game Odds & Payouts

a. Method of Entry
Your first game play requires no game points. All first-time players from either Win5 or our partner sites receive instant game points and Prize Money. If you win your initial game, which consists of three (3) races, you will receive 100 game points and $9 in Prize Money. If you lose your initial game, you will still be rewarded with 100 game points and $4 in Prize Money. After your initial play and registration, you will have access to your game points. Players have the ability to choose the amount of game points they wish to play. Each winning game play (selecting a horse and winning the race as the jockey) will return two Prize Money for each game point played. With each play, the game points played will no longer be available for game play. Losing plays will still credit your prize point account with an equal number of Prize Money.

b. Alternative Method of Entry
To acquire more game points, access our Get More Credits tab and interact with both free and non-free advertising offers from our third-party offers. The amount of game points you will receive will depend on the individual offer you successfully complete. To receive an additional 10 game points free without participating in our Free Offers program, please send a hand-written postcard with your full name and email address used to create your account and access the site to:

Horse Racing Simulation, LLC
c/o To Win5.com
3230 E. Flamingo Road, Ste. 8-307
Las Vegas, NV 89121

Players are allowed 10 free points per quarter. Please allow four to eight weeks for free points to post.

c. Odds of Winning
Our game uses an algorithm based on luck and skill. The average player will win approximately eight out of ten races they run. This number can vary dramatically depending on the horse that is chosen and the level of skill the player has obtained. Therefore, we cannot provide the exact mathematical odds of winning each individual game you play.

g. Rules Regarding Spam
We would like to remind our players to advertise their referral links in a responsible manner. The majority of our players will have no problems following the rules. If you do not follow our rules regarding link promotion, not only will you be banned from our site, but you will be considered SPAM and blocked from major sites on the Web. What's Considered Spam?
Spam, basically, is posting links where they are unwanted or against the rules. If you visit other sites and create accounts for the sole purpose of posting your Win5 link, you're probably spamming! Read the rules on all the websites where you want to post your referral link. Make sure you are not violating their terms and conditions. Facebook.com, for example, has made it clear that their site does not allow commercial promotions of any kind. Posting links on Facebook would violate both our and Facebook's anti-spam policy and cause your Win5 account to be closed and maybe your Facebook account.
By giving out your referral link only where it's accepted, you are not only preserving Win5's good name, but you are protecting yourself. Big social networks, such as My Space and Facebook, pursue those who violate their SPAM policies. Avoid any legal issues and follow all website anti-SPAM posting policies.
Spamming can be done through emails, message boards and social network sites, as well. All of that is strictly forbidden. Violating the spamming policies of Win5 will close your account and freeze your earnings.
There are still plenty of fun, legal and good ways to get referrals. Post your referral link where you have established accounts or in areas that permit solicitations for products or services. Post your referral link in a manner that follows the rules and, at the same time, treats others with respect. In the end, you'll get more referrals and earn more money.

5. Conclusion
