Betting Rules

1. General betting requirements

Bwin Casino provides betting services subject to applicable Australian laws, regulatory requirements and the rules displayed on the website. The availability of a particular product, market or payment method may depend on your location, account status, device, the relevant event and other operational or legal requirements. If a service is not available to you, you must not attempt to access it by using inaccurate information, technical workarounds or another person’s account.

You must be at least 18 years old to use gambling services in Australia and must satisfy all other eligibility requirements that apply to your account. Bwin Casino may request information or documents to verify your identity, age, location, account ownership or source of funds. Betting access may be restricted or suspended until a requested verification process is completed.

You are responsible for providing accurate and current information when registering and using an account. An account must be used only by the person to whom it is registered. You must keep your login details confidential and notify Bwin Casino if you believe that your account has been accessed without permission. You must not create or use multiple accounts where this is prohibited by the applicable terms.

• Do not place bets for another person or allow another person to use your account.
• Do not use betting services if you are under the applicable legal age or otherwise prohibited from gambling.
• Do not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, money laundering or any form of market manipulation.
• Do not attempt to interfere with the website, betting systems, live data, account controls or settlement processes.
• Follow any additional rules shown for a particular sport, event, game, market or promotion.

These rules are general in nature. A market may have additional conditions displayed before a bet is placed. Those conditions form part of the rules for that market. If a specific market rule conflicts with a general rule, the specific market rule will normally apply to that market, subject to the governing Terms and Conditions and applicable law.

2. Placing and confirming bets

Making a selection

Before placing a bet, check the event, selection, market, odds, stake, potential return and any applicable conditions. Information may change before a bet is accepted, particularly for live or fast-moving markets. You are responsible for checking that your bet slip contains the selections and stake you intend to submit.

A bet is generally treated as placed only when it has been accepted by the betting system and a confirmation is displayed or recorded in your account. Adding a selection to a bet slip, requesting a price or submitting a request does not by itself guarantee acceptance. A bet may be rejected, delayed, partially accepted or accepted at different odds where the website or relevant market rules allow this.

Odds, stakes and bet types

The odds shown on the website indicate the potential price for an accepted selection. They may change before acceptance. The applicable odds are normally the odds confirmed with the bet, unless the relevant market rules provide another method of calculation. The stake and potential return should be reviewed before confirmation, as an accepted bet may not be changed or cancelled simply because you selected the wrong option or changed your mind.

Available bet types may include single bets, multiple bets, combination bets, each-way or other event-specific options. Not every bet type is available for every market. A multiple bet may be affected if one or more selections are void, suspended or otherwise subject to special settlement rules. The bet slip and market information should be checked carefully before confirmation.

Live and in-play betting

Live betting is affected by the speed and accuracy of event information. There may be a delay between an event occurring and the information appearing on the website. Prices can change quickly, and markets can be suspended while important action is taking place. A live bet may be rejected or accepted at a new price if the market changes before acceptance.

You should not assume that the absence of a suspension means that a market is fully up to date. If a market is offered using incorrect information, is opened in error or remains available after a material event, Bwin Casino may review the bet under the applicable error and settlement rules. This does not affect any rights you may have under Australian consumer law or other applicable requirements.

3. Settlement, results and corrections

Determining the result

Bets are settled using the official result or other result source specified in the market rules. The relevant result may be based on the final score, finishing position, published statistic, official classification or another clearly defined outcome. A result may be changed after initial publication if the responsible sporting body or recognised result source corrects an error.

Unless a market rule says otherwise, later appeals, disciplinary decisions, changes to a result, or changes to a competition table may not affect settlement after the official settlement point. Markets can also include special provisions for abandoned, postponed, interrupted, shortened or rescheduled events. Always check the conditions shown for the market you wish to back.

Common settlement situations

• If an event is postponed, the bet may stand, be void or be treated under a specific postponement rule, depending on the market and the time or date of the rescheduled event.
• If an event is abandoned or not completed, settlement may depend on whether the market has already been unconditionally determined and on the specific rules for that event.
• If a competitor or participant does not start, the selection may be treated as a non-runner and the relevant bet may be void or recalculated in accordance with the market rules.
• If an event has a dead heat or tie for a relevant position, returns may be reduced or divided using the dead-heat provisions displayed for the market.
• If a match or event is shortened, altered or played under conditions different from those stated, the market may be settled under a special rule or declared void.
• If a market is offered in error, is based on an incorrect price, contains a material mistake or is affected by a technical issue, it may be corrected, cancelled or resettled as permitted by the applicable terms and law.

Voided bets and multiples

A void bet is treated as if it was not accepted for settlement purposes, subject to the applicable market rules. The stake for a void selection may be returned, while the treatment of a multiple bet containing that selection will depend on the bet type and the rules displayed when the bet was placed. A void result does not necessarily make every selection in the same bet void.

If a bet is settled incorrectly because of a result error, technical error or another relevant issue, Bwin Casino may correct the settlement and adjust the account balance. Where an adjustment is made, the reason should be explained through the account or available support process. You must not knowingly retain or use funds credited to your account in error.

Cash out and early settlement features

Where a cash out or early settlement feature is offered, it is optional and may not be available for every bet. The offered amount can change or the feature can be suspended while a market is being updated. A cash out request is complete only when it is confirmed by the system. If it is not confirmed, the original bet may remain active and will be settled under the ordinary market rules.

4. Account conduct, responsible gambling and help

Fair use of the betting service

Betting must be conducted fairly and for personal entertainment. Bwin Casino may monitor activity to protect customers, maintain the integrity of its services, comply with legal obligations and investigate suspected misuse. This may include reviewing unusual betting patterns, account access, payment activity, identity information or connections between accounts.

Where permitted by law and the applicable Terms and Conditions, an account or bet may be restricted, suspended, cancelled or reviewed if there is suspected fraud, identity misuse, unlawful activity, technical interference, collusion, manipulation, a breach of the rules or a responsible gambling concern. Any action should be handled in accordance with the relevant terms and applicable legal requirements.

Responsible gambling

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover losses. Set a budget before you begin, decide how long you intend to play and avoid increasing your stake to chase a loss. Never gamble while affected by alcohol or other substances, and do not borrow money to place bets.

• Use any deposit, spending, time or session controls available through your account.
• Take regular breaks and keep track of your total spending rather than focusing only on individual wins or losses.
• Consider a temporary break or self-exclusion if gambling is no longer enjoyable or feels difficult to control.
• Ask for support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, sleep or wellbeing.
• If you are concerned about another person’s gambling, seek independent information and support.

Questions, disputes and complaints

If you believe a bet has been accepted, displayed or settled incorrectly, review the bet details and the relevant market rules first. Raise the matter through the customer support channel made available on the website and provide the account or bet information needed to investigate it. Do not send passwords or disclose security codes when requesting help.

Bwin Casino may need time to review event records, official results, system information and account activity before reaching a decision. Complaints are handled under the applicable complaint process and relevant legal requirements. Nothing in these Betting Rules is intended to remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian law.
