2 hidden rules you should know before you buy

Terms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have already paid. Hidden means easy to miss, not concealed. The firm publishes every one of these, usually in its terms or FAQ rather than on its pricing page. Tap a rule to read it, with the page we read it on and the date.
