General betting rules and bet settlement in Australia
These general rules apply to all bets, subject to any sport-specific or event-specific rules shown on the market page.
Who may place bets
- Only verified customers who are 18+ and located in Australia where betting is allowed may place bets.
- We may set per-account limits to support responsible gambling.
Bet acceptance and odds
- A bet is accepted when a bet receipt with a unique reference appears in your account history.
- Odds may change before acceptance. If the price changes, the bet slip will prompt you to accept the new odds before the bet is placed.
- We may refuse a bet, part of a bet, or restrict markets to manage risk or comply with regulation.
Minimum and maximum stakes; payouts
- Minimum and maximum stake amounts vary by market and sport and are displayed on the bet slip.
- Maximum payout caps may apply to a market, event, or sport. Limits are disclosed in market rules or on the bet slip.
Settlement and calculation of returns
- Bets are settled on the official result as published by the sport’s governing body or relevant authority at the time of settlement.
- Where a dead heat occurs, stakes are reduced proportionally and returns are calculated on the reduced stake at the odds taken.
- Racing deductions: if there are scratchings, industry deduction tables may apply and returns may be adjusted accordingly.
- For abandoned or postponed events, settlement follows the sport rules on the site. Where no rule applies, bets may stand if the event is completed within a reasonable period; otherwise, they may be void.
Cancellations, palpable errors, and voids
- Once accepted, a bet cannot be cancelled by you.
- If an obvious pricing or market error occurs, we may void the bet or settle at the correct price that was available when the bet should have been placed.
- Bets placed in breach of these terms, responsible gambling restrictions, or AML/CTF rules may be void and any returns withheld.
In-play betting restrictions (Australia)
