if your complaint is about a player then your recourse is to complain to party directly.

if your complaint is about party then your recourse is to complain to gibraltar.

party is not dumb. they are well aware that there are a lot
of players out there that will deposit based on this t&c.
they covered their legal bases.
they are good ostrich farmers.

now if this was a las vegas strip casino and the honest
holdem t&c (with the house bots clause and no encryption)
certified by the gaming control board, then you'd have very
effective recourse with the gcb for both types of complaints.

you could in theory have recourse all the way to the u.s.
supreme court if the nature of the case warranted that type
of attention.
