How to Reimburse Your eGaming Start Bank at Month End
At the beginning of each month, your eGaming starting bank must be fully replenished. This means that if your eGaming balance falls below the starting bank by the end of the month, you are required to bring it whole on the first of the month.
Think of your eGaming account as a single pull tab game played from the first to the last day of the month. If the game ends with a balance below the starting bank, you must replenish it to ensure the next month's game starts with a full bank.
