Betting Rules

1. General betting conditions

These rules apply to betting services made available through Winmaker Casino. By opening an account, accessing a betting market or placing a wager, you confirm that you have read and accepted the applicable rules, account terms, privacy information and responsible gambling guidance. Market-specific rules displayed on the website form part of the conditions for that wager.

Betting is available only to people who are legally permitted to participate in gambling in their location. You are responsible for checking that online betting is lawful for you to use and for complying with all applicable Australian laws, regulations and requirements in your state or territory. You must not use the service if you are under the required legal age, located in a restricted jurisdiction, or otherwise prohibited from betting.

Only one personal account may be used by each customer unless Winmaker Casino has expressly approved another arrangement. An account must be registered in the account holder’s own name and used only by that person. You must provide information that is accurate, current and complete, and update it when circumstances change. Information may be checked before or after a wager is accepted.

• You must keep your account login details private and take reasonable steps to prevent another person from accessing your account.
• You must not place wagers on behalf of another person, allow another person to use your account, or transfer account access to anyone else.
• You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, money laundering, market manipulation or any other improper purpose.
• You must follow the rules shown for the particular sport, competition, event, game, market or bet type.
• You should check the details of every wager before confirming it, including the selection, odds, stake and potential return.

Winmaker Casino may refuse, limit, suspend or cancel access to a betting service where this is permitted by applicable law and the relevant terms. This may occur for security, verification, technical, legal, integrity or responsible gambling reasons. Any action taken on an account will be handled in accordance with the applicable terms and legal requirements.

2. Placing and accepting bets

Before a wager is confirmed

A wager is not final merely because a selection has been added to a bet slip. You must review and confirm the bet using the available instructions on the website. A wager is accepted only when the website confirms acceptance and records the transaction. The account balance or bet history may be used to show whether a wager has been accepted, rejected, cancelled or remains unresolved.

Displayed odds, prices, lines, handicaps and other market information may change before a wager is accepted. If the available terms change, you may be asked to confirm the updated bet before it is placed. A bet that has not been confirmed should not be treated as accepted. You should retain the confirmation or transaction reference shown after placing a wager.

Bet types and selections

The meaning of a bet depends on the market description and any rules linked to that market. Common bet types may include single bets, combination bets, multiples, totals, handicaps, match or event winners, and other options. Not every bet type is available for every event. Where a market description differs from a general rule, the market-specific wording will normally govern that market.

• A single bet is generally a wager on one selection or outcome.
• A combination or multiple bet generally links two or more selections, so the result can depend on more than one outcome.
• A handicap or line market adjusts the starting position or scoring margin according to the terms displayed for that market.
• A total or over-and-under market is settled by reference to the final result and the stated line.
• A special, future, live or non-standard market may have additional conditions that must be read before betting.

You should not assume that a selection has won simply because it appears likely to win, has been reported as a winner elsewhere, or has reached a particular point during an event. Settlement is made using the applicable market rules and the result information selected for that market.

Errors and technical interruptions

The website may occasionally display an incorrect price, market description, result, balance or other information because of human error, data issues, delay, software faults or technical interruption. Where the applicable terms allow, an obvious error may be corrected and a wager may be adjusted, cancelled or settled using the correct information. A wager will not normally be treated as accepted solely because an error was displayed.

You are responsible for checking that your device, internet connection and account access are functioning correctly before confirming a wager. If a page freezes, a connection is interrupted or a confirmation is not displayed, check your bet history before trying again. Repeated attempts could result in more than one accepted wager.

3. Event changes, market suspension and settlement

Suspended or changed markets

Markets may be suspended or closed before or during an event. Suspension can occur when there is a material development, a change in the event, a risk of incorrect information, a technical issue or a concern about betting integrity. A suspended market cannot generally be amended or used to place a new wager until it is reopened, if it is reopened at all.

If an event is postponed, abandoned, interrupted, relocated, shortened, changed in format or otherwise affected, the relevant market rules will determine whether bets remain valid. Some wagers may stand if the conditions needed for settlement have already been met, while others may be cancelled or handled under the specific rules for that event. Always read the event and market information before betting.

How results are determined

Wagers are settled using the official result or other recognised result source applicable to the market. The relevant result may include the result declared at the end of an event, a competition authority’s decision, an official statistical record or another source identified in the market rules. Later appeals, disciplinary decisions or changes to records may not affect a wager unless the applicable rules say that they do.

The result used for settlement may be different from an informal report, media article or live commentary. For example, a result can be reviewed, corrected or formally declared after an event appears to have finished. Where a market depends on a particular time, round, score, ranking or classification, that requirement will be applied as written in the market rules.

Ties, non-runners and cancellations

A tie, draw, dead heat, non-runner or no-result situation is handled according to the rules for the relevant market. The outcome may differ between market types. Depending on the circumstances, a selection may be settled as a winner, reduced or shared outcome, voided selection, losing selection or another result specified in the market terms.

• If an event does not take place, the market rules will explain whether wagers are cancelled or carried forward.
• If an event is postponed, the original wager may stand or may be cancelled depending on the stated conditions.
• If a participant withdraws or does not start, the applicable non-runner rule will be used.
• If an event is abandoned, the stage reached and the market type may affect settlement.
• Combination bets can be affected when one or more selections are cancelled, voided or otherwise unable to be settled.

Settlement may take place after the relevant result is verified. If a settlement error is identified, Winmaker Casino may correct the account record in accordance with the applicable terms. You should review your bet history and report any apparent discrepancy through the support method available on the website.

4. Account security, payments and responsible betting

Account checks and transaction safety

Winmaker Casino may carry out identity, age, account ownership, payment method and source-of-funds checks where required by law, regulation, risk controls or internal procedures. You may be asked to provide documents or information before betting, withdrawing funds or continuing to use an account. Delays can occur while information is reviewed, and access may be restricted if requested information is not provided or cannot be verified.

Deposits, withdrawals, stakes and returns are subject to the payment and account terms shown on the website. You should use only payment methods that belong to you or that you are authorised to use. A payment may be refused, reversed, delayed or reviewed where there is a security concern, payment failure, chargeback, suspected fraud or legal requirement. Do not share payment details or account credentials with another person.

Integrity and prohibited conduct

Customers must not interfere with the fair operation of a market or event. Prohibited conduct can include using inside information, manipulating an event, placing bets for another person, coordinating wagers dishonestly, exploiting a system fault, using automated tools without permission, or attempting to avoid account, location or identity controls.

Where there is a suspected breach of these rules, Winmaker Casino may investigate, request information, suspend an account or take another action allowed by the applicable terms and law. This can include reviewing related transactions or wagers. Any decision will be made using the information available and the procedures that apply to the service.

Responsible gambling

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Set a budget before you start and never bet more than you can afford to lose. Keep track of your time and spending, avoid betting when upset or under the influence of alcohol or other substances, and do not borrow money to gamble.

• Decide in advance how much money and time you are comfortable using.
• Take regular breaks and stop when you reach your personal limit.
• Do not chase losses by increasing stakes or placing extra wagers.
• Use available account controls, limits, time-outs or self-exclusion options if betting is becoming difficult to manage.
• Seek support from an appropriate gambling-help service or qualified professional if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.

If you believe betting is no longer enjoyable or manageable, stop using the service and use the responsible gambling tools available through your account or the website. You can also seek independent support in Australia. Winmaker Casino may apply additional checks or restrictions where there are concerns about a customer’s safety or compliance with responsible gambling requirements.

These Betting Rules are general information and do not replace the specific terms displayed for a market or event. Rules may be updated when services, laws or operational requirements change. The version published on the website at the relevant time should be read before placing a wager.
