Betting Rules

1. Scope and acceptance

These rules apply to bets placed through Fat Pirate Casino, where those products are made available to you. They should be read together with the website terms and conditions, privacy policy, responsible gambling information and any additional rules shown for a particular game, event or market. If there is a difference between these general rules and a product-specific rule, the product-specific rule will normally apply to that product.

By opening an account, accessing betting services or placing a bet, you confirm that you have read and understood the rules that apply. You are responsible for checking the information shown before confirming a wager. If anything is unclear, do not place the bet until you have obtained an explanation through the available support channels.

Fat Pirate Casino may update these rules when necessary, including to reflect changes to products, systems, operational practices or applicable requirements. The current version published on the website applies to future activity from the time it is made available. Rules that applied when a bet was accepted may continue to govern that bet, subject to applicable law and any stated correction or voiding provision.

• You must use the service only where access and betting are permitted under applicable law.
• You must provide accurate, complete and current account information.
• You must be legally permitted to gamble and meet any applicable age requirement.
• You must keep your login details secure and must not allow another person to use your account.
• You must read the displayed odds, stake, potential return and relevant market information before confirming a bet.

2. Accounts, funds and placing bets

Bets must be placed from your own account and for your own benefit. An account may be subject to identity, age, location, payment or security checks. You may be asked to provide information or documents before using certain services, making a withdrawal or completing another account activity. If required information is not provided, access to some functions may be delayed, restricted or unavailable.

You are responsible for deciding how much to stake and for ensuring that your account contains enough available funds. A bet is not treated as placed merely because selections have been entered or a betting slip has been prepared. A wager is accepted only when the platform confirms acceptance and records the transaction. You should check your account history or confirmation details after placing a bet.

The stake, odds, selection, market, event, game and any other details shown on the confirmation are important. Review them promptly and report any apparent error through the available support process. A displayed balance or transaction record may be adjusted where there has been an obvious technical, administrative or pricing error, subject to applicable law and the relevant terms.

You must not use another person's payment method, account or identity information without proper authorisation. You must also not attempt to bypass account controls, location checks, identity checks, deposit controls or other security measures. Suspicious, fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity may result in a bet being refused, an account being restricted or an investigation being conducted.

1. Select the product, event, game or market you wish to use.
2. Check the available odds, terms, stake and potential return.
3. Confirm that the details are correct and that you understand the risk of losing the stake.
4. Submit the bet using the relevant confirmation function.
5. Wait for the acceptance message and retain the confirmation or transaction reference where one is provided.

3. Bet acceptance, changes and cancellation

A bet may be rejected, delayed or remain pending where the platform is experiencing an interruption, a market is suspended, information is unavailable, a price is being checked or account verification is incomplete. A bet that has not been confirmed should not be treated as accepted. If a bet is rejected, any affected stake should be handled in accordance with the account records and applicable rules.

Once a bet has been accepted, it generally cannot be changed or cancelled by the player unless a cancellation or cash-out option is specifically made available for that product. The availability of such an option may depend on the product, market status, technical conditions and other requirements. An available cancellation or cash-out function is not a guarantee that the request will succeed until it is confirmed.

Odds and other displayed information may change before acceptance. The odds shown on the final confirmation are the odds that apply to an accepted bet, unless a correction or specific product rule applies. You should not rely on an earlier display, screen image or unconfirmed betting slip as evidence of the final terms.

Fat Pirate Casino may suspend a market or stop accepting bets where an event, game or result is affected by an operational issue, a material change, suspected manipulation, an incorrect price, a data problem or another circumstance that makes normal settlement inappropriate. Where a bet is voided or adjusted, the outcome will be determined under the relevant product rules and applicable requirements.

Obvious errors and irregular activity

An obvious error may include an incorrect price, selection, handicap, result, event description or other material detail that a reasonable player would recognise as incorrect. If an obvious error occurs, the affected bet may be corrected or voided in line with the applicable rules. This does not give a player permission to exploit a known error or system fault.

You must not interfere with the website, use automated tools without permission, manipulate a game or market, coordinate activity improperly, or take advantage of a technical vulnerability. Activity that appears irregular may be reviewed, and relevant transactions may be held while the review is completed.

4. Results, settlement and disputes

Bets are settled using the official result or settlement information specified in the applicable product rules. Different products may use different sources, cut-off times, definitions or procedures. For example, a rule may explain how postponements, abandoned events, dead heats, player or participant changes, score corrections, game interruptions or incomplete results are handled. Always check the rules for the product before betting.

A result may be corrected after initial publication. If a bet was settled using information that is later found to be incorrect, the settlement may be reviewed and amended where permitted. A market can also be settled as void if its required conditions were not met or if the relevant rules require that outcome.

For casino-style games, the game result generated or recorded by the relevant system determines the outcome, subject to the game rules and any technical review. If a game is interrupted, the account history, game records and available system data may be used to determine whether the wager was completed and how it should be treated.

If you believe a bet has been accepted, recorded or settled incorrectly, review the transaction information first and raise the issue through the available support channel. Include the relevant account information, date, product, bet details and transaction reference where available. Do not send passwords, payment card security codes or other sensitive credentials in a dispute.

• A dispute should be raised as soon as reasonably possible after the issue is identified.
• The review may include account records, platform logs, bet confirmations, payment records and official result information.
• A technical delay or a difference between a prepared bet and an accepted bet may affect the outcome of a complaint.
• The final decision will be based on the applicable rules, available records and relevant legal requirements.
• You may have further complaint or review options where these are required or made available under applicable arrangements.

5. Responsible betting and general conditions

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Only wager money you can afford to lose. Set a personal budget and time limit before you begin, and stop when either limit has been reached. Never chase losses by increasing stakes or betting more frequently than planned.

Fat Pirate Casino may provide tools and information to help you manage your gambling, such as deposit controls, activity information, time reminders, breaks or account exclusion options. The availability and operation of these tools may vary. Use the available controls before gambling if you are concerned about your activity, and seek independent support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.

Do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol or other substances, and do not gamble to deal with stress or difficult emotions. Gambling is not suitable for people below the applicable legal age. If you share a device or payment method, take reasonable steps to prevent another person, particularly a young person, from accessing your account.

Nothing in these Betting Rules limits rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded. If any part of these rules is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted. These rules are intended to operate with the website terms, privacy policy and responsible gambling information as part of the overall conditions of using Fat Pirate Casino.

Please check this page and the relevant product information each time you bet. By continuing to use the betting service, you acknowledge that you understand the applicable rules and accept responsibility for your decisions, subject to your rights under applicable Australian law.
