Betting Rules

1. General betting principles

By placing a bet with Cadoola Casino, you confirm that you are legally permitted to use the service in your location and that the information connected with your account is accurate and current. Players must use their own account and must not place bets on behalf of another person. An account may be subject to identity, age, location and payment checks before bets or withdrawals can be processed.

All betting is subject to the rules displayed on the website, the applicable Terms and Conditions, and any special rules published for a particular sport, competition, event, market or bet type. If a specific market rule differs from a general rule, the specific market rule will normally apply to that market. If you are unsure how a market works, review its information before placing a bet.

Cadoola Casino aims to display betting information clearly, but odds, selections, event details and market availability can change. The information shown at the time a bet is accepted is generally used for processing that bet. Displayed prices are not a guarantee that a bet has been accepted. A bet is only confirmed once it has been recorded in your account and a confirmation is shown.

• You must meet the applicable minimum age requirement and comply with all laws that apply to you.
• You are responsible for checking your selection, stake, odds and bet type before confirming a wager.
• You should keep your account login details secure and notify the operator if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
• A bet cannot normally be changed after acceptance unless the relevant market rules or available account features allow it.
• The operator may apply account, staking or market restrictions where permitted by the applicable rules and law.

2. Placing and accepting bets

To place a bet, select the event, market and outcome you wish to back, enter your stake and review the bet slip before confirming. The bet slip may show the selected price, potential return, stake, applicable conditions and any warnings. You should check these details carefully. Submitting a bet request does not, by itself, guarantee acceptance.

A bet may be accepted at the price shown, accepted at an updated price, placed into a pending state or rejected. This can happen when odds change, a market is suspended, an event begins, the selected market becomes unavailable, or a technical or operational check is required. Where a price has changed, you may be given an opportunity to accept the updated price before the bet is submitted.

Bet confirmation

After a successful bet, a confirmation should be available through the website or your account history. This record may include a bet reference, event, market, selection, odds, stake and potential return. You should review your account history promptly and retain the confirmation for your records. If a bet appears to have been submitted incorrectly, avoid placing another bet until you have checked its status.

Odds and returns

Odds indicate the potential return associated with a selection and stake. They do not guarantee that an event will take place or that a selection will win. The return for a winning bet depends on the accepted odds, the stake and the applicable market rules. Any displayed potential return is subject to settlement, deductions, dead-heat provisions, taxes where applicable and other conditions stated for the market.

Some markets may offer different pricing formats or bet types. The meaning of a price, line, handicap, total, place term or combination bet can vary. Always read the market description before confirming a bet, particularly where the outcome depends on margins, totals, finishing positions, stages of an event or multiple selections.

3. Events, markets and settlement

Bets are settled using the official result or another reliable result source specified by the applicable market rules. Settlement may take place after the event, after an official review, or when the relevant result has been confirmed. A result can be amended if the governing body changes or corrects an official decision within the period allowed by the market rules.

The event name, scheduled time and market description are provided to identify the selection. Minor changes to venue, start time, participants, officials or event format may not automatically cancel a bet. Whether a bet remains valid depends on the rules for the relevant sport and market. If a change materially affects the event or makes the market impossible to settle fairly, the market may be declared void.

Common settlement outcomes

• A winning selection is settled according to the accepted odds and the rules applying to that market.
• A losing selection has no return unless a specific rule provides otherwise.
• A void bet is cancelled and the stake is generally returned, subject to the applicable market rules.
• A postponed, abandoned, interrupted or rescheduled event may be settled, carried forward or voided depending on the sport and market conditions.
• A dead heat may result in a reduced return where two or more selections share a relevant placing or result.
• For combination bets, one void selection may affect the remaining combination and the final return.

For match or head-to-head markets, the result may depend on the event being completed, unless the specific market rules state another condition. Markets based on a particular period, quarter, half, set, round or stage are normally settled using only that part of the event. A market may therefore have a different result from the final result of the full event.

Where a market has an official margin, total or line, the settlement is based on the final value relevant to that market. If a market includes special conditions, such as extra time, penalties, qualifying rounds or a particular scoring method, those conditions will be shown where possible. Players should not rely only on the event title when determining what a market covers.

Errors and corrections

Although reasonable care is taken when publishing betting information, errors can occur. An error may relate to odds, selections, event details, settlement data or the availability of a market. If a clear or obvious error affects a bet, the bet may be corrected, cancelled or settled using the correct information in accordance with the applicable Terms and Conditions and market rules. This can include obvious pricing errors, duplicated markets or selections shown against the wrong event.

4. Live betting, suspensions and technical issues

Live or in-play betting is available only for selected events and markets. Live prices can change quickly as an event develops. A market may be suspended while a significant incident occurs, when new information is being received, or when the market requires review. Bets submitted during a suspension may be rejected or may not be accepted until the market is reopened.

Live scores, timers, statistics and visual information may be provided by third parties and may not update instantly or be completely accurate. These features are for information only and do not determine the official result or prove that a bet was accepted. The accepted bet record and the applicable settlement source take priority.

A bet may be affected if it is submitted after an event has started, after the outcome is known, or after a material incident has occurred but before that information is reflected on the website. Such bets may be reviewed under the applicable rules. Where a bet is considered invalid because it was accepted in error or after a market should have been suspended, it may be voided or corrected.

Technical interruptions, internet connection problems, device issues, payment delays or website maintenance can prevent a bet from being submitted or confirmed. Do not assume that a failed screen message means a bet was accepted. Check your account history before trying again. If the same bet appears more than once, the records in your account will be used to determine which bets were accepted.

5. Account conduct and responsible betting

Cadoola Casino expects players to use the betting service honestly and responsibly. You must not attempt to manipulate a market, interfere with the website, use automated tools without permission, exploit a technical fault, or engage in conduct that may compromise the fairness or security of the service. Suspicious activity may be reviewed and may lead to a bet being held, cancelled or referred for further checks.

Only one person should use an account, and account details must not be shared. You must not use payment methods or funds that you are not authorised to use. Where account verification or source-of-funds information is required, you should provide complete and accurate information within the requested timeframe. Failure to complete checks may affect access to betting or account transactions.

Bet within your limits

Betting should be entertainment, not a way to solve financial difficulties or recover losses. Set a budget before you start and never stake money needed for rent, bills, food or other essentials. Take regular breaks, avoid betting when upset or under the influence of alcohol, and do not chase losses by increasing your stakes.

• Use available account controls, deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion tools where appropriate.
• Keep track of your deposits, stakes, losses and time spent betting.
• Talk to someone you trust if betting is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.
• Seek support from an appropriate Australian gambling-help service if you are concerned about your betting.
• Do not allow another person to bet through your account or encourage someone to bet beyond their means.

Changes to these rules

Betting rules may be updated to reflect changes to products, market types, technology, operational practices or applicable requirements. The current version published on the website applies to future bets from the time it takes effect, unless a different arrangement is stated. It is your responsibility to review the rules periodically and before placing a bet. If you have a question about a particular market, check the market information and the applicable Terms and Conditions before confirming your wager.
