	1.5	For the purposes of construction, an omission, whether deliberate or inadvertent, is not by itself to be construed as giving rise to a conflict.


  

	2	COMMENCEMENT TERM AND TERRITORY 

  

	2.1	This Agreement shall commence immediately upon its execution and will continue in force (unless terminated pursuant to clause 21 or at law) unless extended by the
Parties pursuant to clause 2.2 until a date which is five (5) years after the First Hand Date (the “Term”). 

  

	2.2	Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, [***] before the end of the Term, the Parties will enter into good faith negotiations for [***] in order to

	2.3	The Parties accept that the territorial scope of this Agreement will depend to a great extent on changes in the law which are, at the date of this Agreement, uncertain.
The Parties believe that the regulation of online poker is likely to take place in the USA, and that such regulation will either regulate online poker across the whole national jurisdiction or on a state-by-state basis. Consequently, the Territory
of this Agreement will be determined by the type of regulatory approach that is adopted. However, for the purposes of this Agreement: 

  

	 	(a)	“Federal Deployment” means the deployment of the Platform across the whole of the United States of America, following the passing of United States
federal legislation permitting such a deployment, whether or not individual states in the United States are permitted to “opt out” or otherwise prohibit such a deployment in individual states. 


 

	 	(b)	“State Deployment” means the deployment of the Platform in one or more states in the United States of America (Federal deployment and State Deployment
are each referred to as a “Deployment”); and 

  

	 	(c)	“Territory” shall mean (in the case of a Federal Deployment), the United States of America and, (in the event of a State Deployment), all and any
states in the United States of America which specifically authorize the offering of online poker games from time to time during the Term.

	 	(b)	selecting the hardware on which the Platform will be hosted; 

  

	 	(c)	developing a training plan for the operation of the Platform and the development of training materials to enable CIE’s personnel to perform services the same as or
similar to the Services and other functions which CIE may perform or which CIE may assume under this Agreement or otherwise; and 

  

	 	(d)	developing an acceptance testing plan for all testing required to comply with Regulatory Requirements and 888 Acceptance Tests. 


 

	3.3	888 shall, and shall procure that the 888 Roadmap Team shall be appropriately skilled and experienced to develop the Platform such that the features to be developed and
included as an integral part of the Platform will be those set out in paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 (the “Basic Features”). 

  

	3.4	The Fees in respect of the 888 Roadmap Team shall be paid by CIE to 888 in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 3. 


 

	3.5	888 shall provide the 888 Roadmap Team with office space, computer equipment and normal communications and office materials. However, any travel expenses, foreign
accommodation and other actual out of pocket expenses incurred by the 888 Roadmap Team that are approved in advance in writing by CIE will be divided equally between the Parties, and 888 shall provide CIE with an itemised Monthly invoice, which CIE
will settle within [***] of its receipt by CIE. 

  

	3.6	888 shall procure that the 888 Roadmap Team shall develop the Roadmap. 

  

	4	INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLATFORM 

  

	4.1	In the event that a federal or state bill to legalise and regulate online poker receives all legislative approval to be enacted into law or if CIE reasonably believes

and (b) have the right to issue a Start Notice to 888. 

  

	4.2	Upon issue of a Start Notice, 888 hereby agrees immediately to hire (and/or designate from its existing employees) the 888 Roadmap Team and, immediately after the

the whole of Canada on a federal basis (“Canada Offering”). To the extent that this is permitted, should CIE wish to include a Canada Offering within its offering, then the parties will discuss such possibility in good faith and if
subsequently 888 agrees to such inclusion—the Canada Offering will be considered part of the Platform and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply accordingly (save in respect of clauses 5.1(m) and 17.2 hereof which will not apply
in respect of any Canada Offering) as if each Province permitting online poker in Canada (or indeed in the case of a federal law, the whole of Canada) be treated as the same as a state in the case of a State Deployment.

	12.1	Each Party represents, warrants and undertakes to the other Party that: 

  

	 	(a)	the entering by it into this Agreement and the performance thereof will not conflict with, or breach the terms, conditions or provisions of, or default under any other

	13.4	In respect of any other Fees payable under this Agreement, 888 shall within [***] from the end of each Month, render an invoice in relation to the Fees due for ail
services that were performed by 888 in such Month, whether on a recurring basis (such as Payment Processing Fees, fees for fraud and risk management services) or on a non-recurring basis (such as Set Up Fee, CIE Developments or other bespoke
projects or services requested by CIE), to the extent actually performed during such Month as measured by appropriate timesheets or by other means as may be agreed by the Parties. 


 

	13.5	Where 888 is obliged to provide Payment Processing Account Services, 888 will set off the amounts due to it from the funds collected from End Users on CIE’s

specified by 888 from time to time, without any offset by CIE other than for fees which may be owed by 888 to CIE on account of operational services provided or assumed by CIE, where the entitlement to such fees and their amount or rate are set out
in this Agreement. 

  

	13.6	If CIE fails to pay any amount due and payable by it under or in connection with this Agreement, it shall, in addition to such amount and without derogating from any
other remedies available to 888 under this Agreement and by law, be liable to pay 888 interest on such overdue amount from the due date until the date of actual payment at a rate of [***]. 


 

	13.7	If CIE is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to 888, it shall do so and the sum due in respect of such payment shall be increased to

retained had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made. 


  
 22 










	13.8	If 888 obtains the benefit of any tax credit or other relief from taxation that results from any deductions or withholdings under clause 13.7 above and in the event
that, as a result of the utilisation of that tax credit or relief, 888’s liability is less than it would have been but for the utilisation of the tax credit or relief, then 888 shall, within one (1) Month of the date on which the tax
liability would have been due (but for the utilisation of the tax credit or relief), repay to CIE the amount (not exceeding the additional amount paid by CIE pursuant to clause 13.7) by which 888’s tax liability has been reduced as a result of
the utilisation of such tax credit or relief.

Agreement or in relation to the gaming activity taking place on the Platform (including any Gaming Taxes, as defined in Schedule 3, which will be borne solely by CIE, subject to deduction from the Net Gaming Revenue formula). Accordingly, all
amounts due and payable by either Party to the other Party hereunder are deemed inclusive of any tax, charge or levy which may be imposed on such payment, and neither Party shall be under any obligation to increase such payment in the event such tax
becomes applicable. The parties will discuss ways in which they can mitigate the effects of taxes and charges under this Agreement, though neither party shall be obliged to change its position to effect any such mitigation.

software, inventions, tooling, display equipment or other material or products supplied, acquired or created by 888 which relate to its business processes generally or which are pre-existing, or background, or non-bespoke Intellectual Property

be (the “Infringing Products”), on terms reasonably similar to the terms set out in this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(b)	remove the Infringing Products or replace or modify the Infringing Products in a manner which makes their use non-infringing.

	22.1	In the event that Enabling Legislation has not been passed and brought into effect within [***] from the Commencement Date, each Party shall have the right to terminate
the Agreement for convenience by written notice to the other at any time before the end of the Term and prior to the passage of such Enabling Legislation and neither Party shall have any Claim, demand nor liability toward the other.


  

	22.2	CIE may, by giving written notice to 888, terminate this Agreement forthwith: 


 

	 	(a)	if 888 commits a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, which breach is not remedied within [***] of written notice of the breach;


  

	 	(b)	if 888 commits a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement which is not capable of being remedied;

	 	(d)	in accordance with clause 26 (Force Majeure); 

  

	 	(e)	in accordance with clause 9 (Testing); 


  
 29 










	 	(f)	if 888 undergoes a Change of Control the result of which is either (i) that 888 becomes controlled by a 888 Competitor or by a CIE Competitor or (ii) that CIE
can reasonably demonstrate that either (a) the Change of Control will result or has resulted in a material degradation of 888’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (b) that CIE is likely to suffer material
damage to its reputation, then CIE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement provided it issues 888 a termination notice within [***] commencing on the date on which 888 first notifies CIE of the contemplated Change of Control. In the
event that CIE does not exercise its termination right referred to in the previous sentence or fails for any reason to respond to 888’s notice within said [***] period then the Agreement shall continue in force for the duration of the Term. In
the event of termination by CIE as set out in this clause, 888 shall continue to provide the services under this Agreement until the later of (1) [***] from the date that CIE provides notice of termination to 888 or (2) the consummation of
the Change of Control transaction. 

 If CIE issues a notice of termination in anticipation of a transaction that
will result in a Change of Control in accordance with sub-clause (f) above, and such transaction is not consummated for any reason, then (a) 888 must notify CIE as soon as possible in writing that the Change of Control transaction has been
abandoned or terminated and (b) CIE will have [***] after the date of such notice from 888 to notify 888 that either (x) the previous termination continues to be applicable or (y) the previous termination notice is null and void in
which latter case the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without change. 
  

	 	(g)	If this Agreement is not approved in whole or in part, by any CIE Regulatory Body; 


 

	 	(h)	If 888 should become an Unsuitable Entity; or 

  

	 	(i)	if at any time CIE, acting in good faith determines in its sole discretion that its association with 888 (including 888’s Affiliates) is likely to violate any
laws, statutes or regulations governing a gaming license of one of CIE’s Affiliates, (such termination being without any further liability to CIE); provided, however, that in the case of a proposed termination hereunder, and
provided that CIE’s compliance committee has determined that the circumstances do not require immediate termination, the parties will discuss (without legal obligation) whether steps can be taken to permit the parties to continue this
Agreement; 

  

	22.3	CIE may, by giving written notice to 888, terminate this Agreement forthwith in whole or at its option in relation to a particular part of the Territory if 888 should
fail to obtain any license deemed by any CIE Regulatory Body to be necessary in order that it may perform its obligations in this Agreement in that part of the Territory or if, once so licensed, fails to maintain such license, (such termination
being without any further liability to CIE). 

  

	22.4	888 may, by giving written notice to CIE, terminate this Agreement forthwith: 


 

	 	(a)	if CIE commits a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, which breach is not remedied within [***] of written notice of the breach;

	 	(c)	if CIE is affected by an Insolvency Event; 

  

	 	(d)	in accordance with clause 26.4 (Force Majeure); 

  

	 	(e)	if this Agreement is not approved in whole or in part by any 888 Regulatory Body; 


 

	 	(f)	[***]. 

  

	22.5	Either Party’s right to terminate as a result of breach by the other Party as set out in this clause does not prejudice or limit the rights of the injured Party to
claim such damages as it may have suffered as a result of such breach. 

  

	23	CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION 

  

	23.1	If this Agreement terminates in accordance with clause 21.3, CIE shall reimburse 888 for all (i) Set Up Costs that 888 has incurred, less the aggregate amount of
the 888 Revenue Share paid under Schedule 3; and (ii) Costs that 888 has incurred up to the date of termination in obtaining certifications or licenses as an online gambling technology and services provider and continuously meeting its licence

Costs incurred by 888 in relation to licences or certifications or suitability investigations in the State of Nevada or in any other state for which 888 was already in possession of certifications or licences at the time CIE first requested to
deploy the Platform in such state).

Agreement to 888; or

	24	CUSTOMER DATA 

  

	24.1	CIE shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all the rights in End User Data. 


 

	24.2	Nevertheless, CIE recognizes that 888 needs to have constant access to all End-User Data in the course of performing its obligations under the Agreement and providing

purposes for which it was provided by the End-Users and in accordance with Applicable Legislation, including applicable data protection and privacy policies, directives and legislation. 


 

	24.3	On account of the sensitivity, importance and confidential nature of the End-User Data, CIE hereby agrees that any End-User Data that may come into its possession
during the Term shall be held in a fashion which protects its security and confidentiality at least as effectively and strictly as those measures applied by Applicable Regulations. 


 

	24.4	Both Parties shall keep the End-User Data confidential and shall not disclose the End- User Data to any third Party other than (i) in accordance with a data
disclosure agreement with the End-Users solely for the purpose of providing the American Poker Offering and fulfilling the disclosing Party’s obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if the disclosing Party is legally required to do so
pursuant to any Applicable Legislation, in which case it shall immediately notify the other Party of any such required disclosure, and if requested by the other Party, cooperate with the other Party in obtaining protective orders against such
disclosure.

	24.5	888 shall archive and maintain all End-User Data for a minimum period of six (6) years from the date the information was collected or received by it, or for the

	24.6	No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of effective termination for any reason, 888 shall deliver to CIE a copy of all End-User Data in its
possession (subject to Applicable Legislation and 888 Policies). Thereafter, CIE shall have the exclusive right to use the End-User Data in any manner and in its sole discretion, and the right of 888 to use the End-User Data pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement shall expire, except for its archiving and safekeeping as set forth above. 

  

	24.7	CIE warrants and undertakes that it shall obtain a written consent from all End-Users of sufficient breadth to allow 888 to migrate all End-User Data to an Alternative
CIE Platform and to allow CIE to process such data and use such data after termination without requiring any further permission from the End-Users, all subject to and strictly in accordance with (i) the purposes for which it was provided by the
End-Users; (ii) Applicable Legislation, including applicable data protection and privacy directives and regulation, and (Hi) any requirements or restrictions imposed by any Applicable Regulatory Body or other third parties.

 During
the Term of the Agreement and for a period of [***] after its expiration or termination for any reason neither Party shall solicit any person who is employed by the other Party to become an employee of that party whether on a full-time or part-time
basis, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment. Furthermore, neither Party shall, during the Term and for [***] after its expiration or termination for any reason, hire any employee who is at that time or was during the past [***]
employed by the other Party, regardless of how such employee came to be hired, without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

 

	26	FORCE MAJEURE 

  

	26.1	Subject to clause 26.2, no Party shall be liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performing, any of its obligations if and to the extent that the failure or
delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event. The time for performance of an obligation which is affected by a Force Majeure Event shall be extended by a period which reflects the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event. 


 

	26.2	A Party shall only be entitled to claim relief under clause 26.1 in respect of a Force Majeure Event if it: 


 

	 	(a)	promptly gives notice to the other of its wish to claim relief under clause 26.1 together with details of the Force Majeure Event, including the Party’s estimate
of its duration, the way in which and extent to which the Party considers that the performance of its obligations is likely to be affected and any action that the affected Party proposes to take to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure Event;


  

	 	(b)	updates the information provided under clause 26.2(a) regularly throughout the period during which the performance of its obligations is affected; and


  

	 	(c)	both parties take such reasonable steps as are within their power to minimise the effects of the Force Majeure Event on the performance of its obligations and resumes
full performance as soon as reasonably possible. 


  
 33 










	26.3	For the avoidance of doubt, if under clause 26.1 888 is relieved from performing any obligation, it shall not be entitled to payment for the performance of that
obligation in respect of the period for which relief is obtained, or the performance of its obligations under this clause 26. 

  

	26.4	If the Force Majeure Event prevails for a continuous period in excess of [***] after the date on which the Force Majeure Event begins, either Party shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement by giving at least [***] written notice to the other Party. 

  

	27	NOTICES

	27.2	Such notice shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee within five (5) Business Days of posting or forty eight (48) hours if sent by facsimile
transmission or email where sent to the correct address facsimile number or email address of the addressee and where applicable evidence of posting and/or transmission is retained. 


 

	28	ASSIGNMENT 

  

	28.1	Neither Party may assign its rights under this Agreement other than as permitted in clause 28.2. 


 

	28.2	Either Party may assign its rights under this Agreement to one of its Affiliates provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). However, any such assignment shall only have effect for so long as said Affiliate remains an Affiliate of the Party and in the event that such Affiliate shall cease to be an Affiliate of the Party, the
benefit of the Agreement shall be re-assigned either to the original assignor or to another Affiliate of that Party for which prior approval has been obtained. 


 

	29	WAIVER 

  

	29.1	Any failure by either Party to exercise or delay in exercising any rights, powers or remedies in this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of CIE’s rights,
powers or remedies or prevent any further exercise of them. 

  

	29.2	The rights, powers and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and, subject as otherwise provided in this Agreement, are not exclusive of any rights, powers
and remedies provided by law. 


  
 34 










	30	SEVERANCE 


Notwithstanding that the whole or any part of any provision of this Agreement may prove to be illegal or unenforceable the other
provisions of this Agreement and the remainder of the provision in question shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties shall replace such illegal or unenforceable provision with a provision which is legal and enforceable and which will
reflect to the greatest extent possible the intention of the Parties hereunder. 
  

	31	FURTHER ASSURANCE 

 Each
Party shall from time to time (both during the term of this Agreement and after) do all such acts and execute all such documents as may be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	32	COUNTERPARTS 

 This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the Parties to it on separate counterparts (which may be facsimile copies), but shall not take effect until each Party has executed at least one counterpart. Each counterpart shall

	34	FINANCIAL AUDIT 

  

	34.1	CIE shall have the right, exercisable not more than [***] in any calendar year (or such number of times as may be required by Applicable Legislation or by any CIE
Regulatory Body), and subject to receipt by 888 of reasonable written notice of not less than [***], to require 888 to commission a detailed report from [***] accounting firms (which is not acting, at that time, as 888’s regular external

	34.2	In effecting the audit, 888 shall provide the external auditors with all the information and documents required to determine, as the case may be, the Fees due to 888
and the share of Net Gaming Revenue due to each Party, and the report issued by such external auditors shall include a detailed calculation of such 888 Revenue Share and Fees and CIE Revenue Share for the relevant period. For the avoidance of doubt,
any information disclosed by 888 to the external auditors during the course of the audit shall be Confidential Information and shall not be disclosed to CIE, other than the final report summarizing the auditors’ findings.


  

	34.3	If any underpayment to CIE or overpayment to 888 in the amount of [***] or more is disclosed by an audit, the actual and reasonable costs of that audit shall be borne

 35 










	34.4	The above notwithstanding and as set out in clause 6.10 above, if CIE does not require 888 to provide the Payment Processing Account Services and; performs them by
itself, CIE shall be considered to have granted the audit rights above to 888 rather than the other way around, and this clause 34 shall be inverted accordingly. 


 

	35	OPERATIONAL AUDIT 

  

	35.1	CIE, or its authorized representatives (that are not competitors of 888 or its subcontractors in the IT market with respect to the provision of services similar to the
Services) shall have the right, at any time (but not more than twice during any calendar year or such number of times as may be required by Applicable Legislation or by any CIE Regulatory Body) and with reasonable notice, to perform an operational
and/or security assessment with respect to 888’s performance hereunder. 

  

	35.2	888 shall grant CIE and its representatives reasonable access all facilities and all books, records and other documents of 888 and its subcontractors as they relate to
this Agreement, and as they may be required in order for CIE to ascertain any facts relative to 888’s performance hereunder, provided however that the Parties shall endeavour to arrange such assistance in such a way that it does
not interfere with 888’s ongoing conduct of its business. 888 shall provide CIE, or its authorized representatives, such information and assistance as requested in order to perform such assessments. 


 

	35.3	If any assessment reveals a material inadequacy or deficiency in 888’s performance, the cost of such assessment shall be borne by 888 and otherwise shall be borne
by CIE. 888 shall use reasonable efforts to incorporate these audit provisions into any agreement into which it enters with any subcontractor providing services under this Agreement so that CIE’s rights hereunder are not diminished or
compromised. For the avoidance of doubt, any information disclosed to CIE during the course of any operational or security assessment shall be Confidential Information. 


 

	36	DISPUTE ESCALATION 


Without prejudice to either Party’s right to seek interim or interlocutory relief in the courts the Parties shall use their best
efforts to negotiate in good faith and settle amicably any dispute that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement (or its construction, validity or termination) (a “Dispute”). If a Dispute cannot be settled through
negotiations by appropriate representatives of each of the Parties, either Party may give to the other a notice in writing (a “Dispute Notice”). Within [***] of the Dispute Notice being given the Parties shall each
refer the Dispute to the senior representatives nominated by the Chief Executive Office (or equivalent) of each Party who shall meet in order to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the Dispute is not settled by Agreement in writing between the
Parties within [***] of the Dispute Notice it shall be resolved in accordance with clause 37. 
  

	37	ARBITRATION 

  

	37.1	Subject to clause 37.3, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, or the
legal relationships established by this Agreement, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the ICDR Rules of the American Arbitration Association in force at the date of this Agreement, which rules are deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this clause.

Section 1 et seq). 

  

	37.3	Nothing in this clause shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from applying to a court for interim equitable relief with or without prior written notice to all
Parties. Any such application, or an application to a court for the implementation of any such measures ordered by an Arbitral Tribunal, shall not be deemed to be an infringement or waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the
relevant powers reserved to the Arbitral Tribunal.

outages.

 SCHEDULE 11 
 CIE Marketing Code 
 CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT

 MARKETING AND ADVERTISING CODE 

Introduction 
 Millions
of responsible adults enjoy the excitement of casino gaming at a Caesars Entertainment Corporation property each year. Casino customers by and large treat casino gaming the same way they treat other forms of recreation: they budget the time and
amount of money they want to spend, and they consider their chosen recreation a pleasant pastime, not a way of life. We’re proud that we entertain millions of customers each year in our casinos. Our customers overwhelmingly tell us that they
have fun at our casinos, whether they win or lose on any particular occasion. 
 Promoting responsible gaming is part of our culture at Caesars.
Our long-standing position has been that if a customer plays at one of our casinos (operated under any of our casino brand names) for any reason other than the fun of it, that customer is playing for the wrong reason. Many observers have lauded our
company’s industry-leading programs and practices in combating problem gambling. 
 The advertising and marketing of gaming activities must
be sensitive to these issues and all of our advertising must also be truthful and reflect generally accepted standards of good taste. 
 In
furtherance of these interests and in recognition of Caesars strong opposition to irresponsible or inappropriate gambling, Caesars has adopted this Code for its marketing and advertising. 

Scope 
  

	1.	The Code applies to the marketing and advertising of all Caesars Entertainment Corporation gaming brands and properties, including World Series of Poker and Total
Rewards. 

 However, an ad is not considered gaming advertising solely through the inclusion of a logo. 

 

	2.	The Code applies to every media or channel for marketing and/or advertising, including direct mail, outdoor, in-casino, radio, television, print, and Internet.


  

	3.	The Code does not apply to educational materials, broadcast messages, the Harrah’s Foundation, or Internet content designed specifically to address the issues of
underage or problem gambling. 

  

	4.	Caesars complies with all local laws and regulations regarding marketing and advertising. These local laws and regulations may include limitations, restrictions, or
other provisions that are different from those identified in the Code. In such cases, the local laws and regulations supersede the Code.

 Content 

 

	5.	Advertising and marketing materials portray casino gaming and casino customers in a responsible manner. Advertising and marketing materials for gaming activities are
designed for adults who choose to play casino games. 

  

	6.	Advertising and marketing materials are consistent with contemporary local standards of decorum and decency. They do not use religious themes, figures, or symbols. Nor
do they degrade the image, form, or status of women, men, or any ethnic, minority, or other group. 

  

	7.	Advertising and marketing materials do not depict, encourage, or condone excessive, irresponsible, or illegal gambling. They do not: 


 

	 	7.1.	State or imply that casino gambling is an acceptable means of satisfying work or family commitments, or an alternative to work or family commitments;


  

	 	7.2.	State or imply that casino gambling is necessary for financial, physical, or social success; 


 

	 	7.3.	State or imply that casino gambling solves personal problems; 

  

	 	7.4.	Portray individuals who are intoxicated, who are compelled to gamble, who have lost control of their faculties, or who have become separated from reality; or


  

	 	7.5.	Suggest in any way that excessive, irresponsible, or illegal gambling is an amusing or acceptable behavior. 


 

	8.	We only advertise and market gaming activity to adults above the legal age to gamble in a casino. We only advertise our non-gaming amenities to adults over the age of
18 with the exception of venues that require a different legal age to engage in the activity. Our marketing and advertising materials do not: 

  

	 	8.1.	Show casino gambling being experienced by anyone under the legal age; 

  

	 	8.2.	Use actors in gaming advertising who are below 25 years of age or who reasonably appear to be below the legal age to gamble in a casino or use actors in non-gaming
advertising who are below 20 years of age or who reasonably appear to be below 18 years of age; 

  

	 	8.3.	Use any symbol, language, gesture, cartoon, music, animated character, entertainment figure, or child’s toy that has primary appeal to persons below the legal age
to gamble in a casino in any gaming or non-gaming advertising. Material has a “primary appeal” to persons below the legal age to gamble in a casino if it has special attractiveness to such persons above and beyond the general
attractiveness it has for persons above the legal age to gamble in a casino. 

  

	 	8.4.	Show or imply that casino gambling is a “rite of passage” or otherwise necessary for the attainment of adulthood. 


 

	9.	Advertising and marketing materials depict casinos as respectable and well-kept establishments. 


 

	10.	All print gaming advertising includes a message offering a toll-free helpline for individuals who might have a gambling problem. The minimum requirements are subject to
the local jurisdictional rules. 

  

	11.	We sponsor public awareness, education, and other campaigns on problem and underage gambling.

 Placement 

 

	12.	We do not promote gaming activity at any event where the majority of the audience is reasonably expected to be below the legal age to gamble in a casino nor do we
promote our brands or non-gaming amenities at events where the majority of the audience is reasonably expected to be below 18. This does not prevent us from erecting advertising or marketing at or near facilities that are used primarily for
adult-oriented events, but which occasionally may be used for an event where most attendees are under the legal age to gamble in a casino. 

  

	13.	No product name, logo, trademark, or service mark is used or licensed for use on clothing, toys, game equipment, or other materials that are intended primarily for
persons below the legal age to gamble in a casino. Materials that are intended primarily for persons below the legal age to gamble in a casino, regardless of the presence of any product name, logo, trademark, or service mark, are not used as
promotional materials or are given away at events, except in response to a charitable request. 

  

	14.	Advertising and marketing materials for gaming activity are not placed in magazines, newspapers, television programs, radio programs, or other media where more than 30
percent of the audience is reasonably expected to be below the legal age to gamble in a casino. Advertising and marketing materials for non-gaming amenities are not placed in magazines, newspapers, television programs, radio programs, or other media
where more than thirty percent of the audience is reasonably expected to be under the age of 18. 

  

	15.	We do not advertise our products or brands in college or university newspapers, with the exception of advertising for special events or venues that allow attendance for
those 18 years and above. Advertisements elsewhere in college or university media are in conformity with policies promulgated by appropriate college officials or with the prior approval of appropriate college officials. 


 

	16.	We do not advertise on the comic pages of newspapers or magazines. 

  

	17.	New advertising is not placed on any outdoor stationary location within 500 feet of an established place of worship or an elementary school or secondary school. If
existing advertising is within 500 feet of said locations, contracts for its placement will not be renewed. 

  

	18.	We are particularly sensitive about the use of the Caesars website. We: 

  

	 	18.1.	Post that the website is designed for individuals who are of legal age to gamble in a casino. 


 

	 	18.2.	Take appropriate precautions to ensure that visitors to the play for fun casino are 21 or older. 


 

	 	18.3.	Include messages discouraging underage and irresponsible gambling. 

  

	 	18.4.	Include information on our website about our responsible gambling philosophy, practices, and programs. 


Compliance and Dissemination 
  

	19.	A copy of this code is given to every casino employee and outside agency whose responsibilities include advertising and marketing, as well as to any outside party who
might request it. 


  
 71 










	20.	A Code Review Board comprised of Caesars employees meets at least annually and evaluates Code compliance. An annual written report outlining the extent of Code
compliance and, if necessary, describing means to ensure greater Code compliance, is prepared for the Board. This report includes a review of current recognized electronic and print composition data in order to ensure that advertisements are placed
in compliance with the Code. 

  

	21.	The Board also meets when necessary to consider complaints about Caesars marketing or advertising materials lodged by any interested party. If clear, objective evidence
demonstrates to the Board that any advertising or marketing material is in violation of the Code, the material in question will be withdrawn. All complaining parties are notified of the resolution of their complaints. 


Effective Date 
  

	22.	The provisions of this Code apply to any marketing or advertising activity undertaken on or after May 1, 2009.
