   2. A winner is deemed to represent and warrant to PSP.LLC (at the time a Payout is made to a winner) that: (a) they are the registered Player who placed the winning Wager through their Player Account; (b) they have complied with these Game Conditions, Instructions and Player Agreement; and (c) upon payment or receipt of the Payout, they are deemed to release, indemnify and save PSP.LLC harmless from any and all claims of every kind with respect to the Payout, the calculation thereof, and the payment thereof (including any income taxes and related penalties and fines). Such representation and warranty shall survive the payment of the Payout, and PSP.LLC may in its sole discretion set off any portion of the Payout in furtherance of such indemnity.
