6. The customer who creates the Group will be an Admin.
7. A Group must have at least two (2) Members (including the Admin) who have transferred the Buy-In. An Admin Activates the group when they are satisfied that all invited individuals have joined and transferred the Buy-In, after which they will become Members.

12. If the Group has not been Activated, an Admin can close the Group and any funds transferred into the Group by a Member will be returned to their personal Sportsbet account (with the returned funds maintaining the status applicable to them upon being transferred into the Group (ie, withdrawable or non-withdrawable)).
13. An Admin can request a Top Up, at which time the Admin and other Members are required to transfer the requested amount of funds into the Group from their personal Sportsbet account.

15. Once an Admin is satisfied that all Members who wish to Top Up have done so, the Admin can elect to Resume Group Betting.
Invitations and Joining
16. An invitation to join a Group can be sent to any individual, but their ability to join is not guaranteed and will depend upon individual circumstances and Sportsbet account settings (if a customer).
