                                 a) Check the issue isn’t internal.
                                         View the status/disposition of recent transactions.
                                         Check with relevant departments (NOC or ETC).
                                 b) If the issue isn’t internal, contact the processor to inform them that
                                      transactions are not processing as usual.
                                 c) If the processor informs that there is no issue at their end, ask
                                      them to investigate further and contact us once their investigation
                                      is complete.
                                 d) Once the issue has been resolved, unpause the queue.
                            3) Once the queue is clear, respond to the ETC alert email to inform NOC
                               the issue has been resolved and CS will monitor the situation.
                            4) Email <announcements@tiltproof.ca> and CC:
                               <supsopstls@tiltproof.ca> to request an announcement to inform

Definitions:                   financial transactions on behalf of players, customer support and the
                               game system. The ETC enforces all financial limit policies and provides
                               the foundation for fraud detection and prevention. ETC provides no user
                               interface as interaction with users is accomplished via other software
                               components in the system.

                            CS for issues relating to production tools and services. NOC provides
                            real time monitoring of the game system and engages all relevant parties
                            when a production issue/failure is detected. NOC is a central point for
                            notifications to all departments in relation to scheduled
                            updates/downtime.
