Betting Rules

1. General betting rules

By opening, accessing or using a Royal Casino account, you agree to follow these Betting Rules together with the website terms and conditions, privacy policy, responsible gambling information and any rules displayed for a particular betting product. If there is a conflict between these general rules and a specific product rule, the specific rule may apply to that product. You should read the information shown on the relevant betting screen before placing a wager.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to participate in online betting in the place where you are located. You are responsible for checking whether online betting is lawful for you. Royal Casino may restrict or refuse access to products where required by Australian law, other applicable law, regulatory requirements or internal controls. A virtual private network, proxy, location-masking service or similar tool must not be used to disguise your location or bypass a restriction.

Only one person may use an account, and the account holder must place their own bets. You must keep your login details, payment information and account devices secure. Do not allow another person to access or use your account, and do not place a wager on behalf of another person. Royal Casino may request identity, age, location or payment verification before allowing betting activity, processing transactions or completing an account review.

• A bet must be placed through the betting features made available on the website or an approved application.
• A wager is not valid unless it is successfully submitted and appears as accepted in your account or betting history.
• A selection shown on a screen is not, by itself, proof that a bet has been placed.
• You must check the event, market, selection, stake, odds and potential return before confirming a wager.
• You must not exploit errors, technical faults, pricing mistakes or interruptions in the betting service.
• You must not use automated software, scripts or other tools to interfere with the website or gain an unfair advantage.

Royal Casino may suspend, limit, reject or review a wager or account where this is necessary for security, compliance, responsible gambling, technical or operational reasons. Any action will be handled in accordance with the applicable terms, internal procedures and legal obligations. Nothing in these rules is intended to guarantee that a particular market, event or betting feature will always be available.

2. Placing bets and understanding odds

Bet selection and confirmation

Before submitting a wager, review all information presented on the bet slip. This may include the event or game, market type, selection, odds, stake, possible return, applicable fees or conditions, and whether the bet is placed before or during an event. Some markets may have additional rules, such as minimum or maximum stakes, closing times, acceptance conditions or restrictions on particular selections.

A bet is generally treated as accepted only when the betting system confirms acceptance. A bet may remain pending while the system checks the requested odds, market status, account balance, location or other relevant information. A submitted request can be rejected, changed or delayed before acceptance. If odds change while a request is being processed, you may be asked to confirm the updated odds, depending on the product and settings available to you.

Odds, stakes and returns

Displayed odds show the potential calculation for a winning wager, subject to the rules of the relevant market. Odds may be presented in a format used by Australian players or in another format identified on the betting screen. You should make sure you understand the displayed format before confirming a bet. The total return normally includes the original stake, while the profit is the amount remaining after the stake is taken into account. The final calculation is governed by the applicable market rules.

A bet can only be placed where the required funds, account conditions and applicable limits allow it. The minimum or maximum stake may differ between products, markets, events, payment methods or account categories. If a transaction, stake or return is affected by an account limit, the relevant information may be shown during the betting process or in the account area. You should not assume that a limit applying to one market also applies to another.

1. Choose the event, game or market you wish to bet on.
2. Select the outcome or outcomes and check the displayed odds.
3. Enter the stake and review the possible return and any applicable conditions.
4. Confirm that the bet details are correct and that you are legally permitted to place the wager.
5. Submit the bet and wait for a clear acceptance or rejection message.
6. Check your betting history to confirm the final status of the wager.

You are responsible for checking a bet before confirmation. Once accepted, a wager cannot usually be edited or withdrawn simply because you selected the wrong event, market, outcome, stake or odds. Where a cash-out, cancellation or similar feature is offered, it may be subject to availability, delay, technical conditions and the specific rules displayed for that feature. Availability of such a feature does not create a right to cancel every bet.

3. Event results, settlement and void bets

Bets are settled using the official result or other recognised outcome source applicable to the relevant market. The source and settlement method may vary by sport, competition, game or betting product. A result may be confirmed after the event has finished, and a market can remain unsettled while official information is checked. A result announced during an event may not be final if it is later changed by the relevant authority or organiser.

The market rules determine how a bet is settled when an event is postponed, abandoned, interrupted, rescheduled, shortened, cancelled or completed under unusual circumstances. They may also determine how a selection is treated when a participant withdraws, does not start, is disqualified, changes position or is replaced. You should read the rules for the individual market because settlement can differ between bet types.

Common settlement outcomes

• A winning bet is settled according to the applicable odds and market calculation.
• A losing bet is settled when the selected outcome does not meet the market rules.
• A void bet is cancelled under the relevant rules, with the stake handled in the way stated for that market.
• A postponed or abandoned event may remain open until the applicable settlement conditions are met.
• A multi-selection bet may be affected if one selection is void, depending on the rules for that type of bet.
• A dead-heat or tied result may be settled using a reduced-return calculation where the market rules provide for it.

Royal Casino may correct a settlement where an obvious error, technical issue, incorrect result or incorrect price has affected the original calculation. This may include correcting a bet that was settled as a win when it should have been a loss, or adjusting a return calculated using an incorrect price. If an amount was credited to your account by mistake, it may be removed or recovered in accordance with the applicable terms. You should not withdraw or use funds that you know, or reasonably suspect, were credited in error.

Errors can include incorrect odds, duplicated markets, wrong event information, incorrect handicaps, unavailable selections or a market being left open after the relevant event has started or finished. Where a clear error affects a bet, Royal Casino may cancel the affected wager or settle it using the correct information, subject to applicable law and the relevant product rules. A technical display issue does not change the underlying betting rules.

If you believe a bet has been settled incorrectly, review the bet reference, event details, market, selection and result shown in your account. Keep any relevant screenshots or transaction information. A settlement query should be raised through the available support or account channels within a reasonable period so the matter can be investigated. An investigation may require checking event records, system logs, market rules and account activity.

4. Fair betting, account reviews and responsible play

Royal Casino aims to provide a fair and secure betting environment. Betting activity may be monitored to protect players, prevent fraud, identify misuse and meet legal or compliance responsibilities. An account or wager may be reviewed where activity appears unusual, where verification is incomplete, where there is a concern about payment ownership or where the service may have been used contrary to the rules.

You must provide information that is accurate, current and complete when requested. Do not create accounts using false details, use another person's payment method without permission, manipulate a promotion or betting feature, collude with other users, or engage in conduct designed to obtain an unfair benefit. Royal Casino may take appropriate action where these rules are not followed, including refusing a transaction, restricting an account, cancelling affected bets or referring a matter for further review.

Betting involves the risk of losing money. It should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income, repay debts or solve financial problems. Set a budget before you play and do not bet with money needed for rent, bills, food, savings or other essential expenses. Never chase losses by increasing stakes or continuing to bet after you have reached your personal limit.

• Decide how much time and money you can afford to spend before betting.
• Take regular breaks and avoid betting when upset, tired, under pressure or affected by alcohol or other substances.
• Use any responsible gambling tools or account controls that are available to you.
• Stop and seek support if betting is affecting your finances, relationships, work, study or wellbeing.
• Do not ask another person to place bets for you or use another person's account.
• If you are concerned about your betting, use the responsible gambling information available on the website and consider speaking with a qualified support service.

These rules provide general information and do not replace the full website terms, product-specific rules or legal requirements that apply to your circumstances. Rules may be updated when services, technology or legal obligations change. The version displayed on the website at the time relevant to your wager may apply, so you should review the current information before placing a bet. If you do not understand a rule, do not place the wager until you have obtained clarification through the available support channels.
