Betting Rules

1. General betting conditions

These rules apply to bets placed through the available MD88 Casino betting services. They are intended to explain the main principles used to process and settle bets. Particular sports, events, competitions, games and markets may have additional rules. If a market includes specific conditions, those conditions form part of the agreement for that market and should be reviewed before a bet is submitted.

You are responsible for ensuring that betting is permitted for you under the laws and regulations that apply where you are located. You must only use the service if you meet the applicable minimum age requirement and satisfy all account eligibility requirements. Betting should be treated as entertainment, and you should never wager money that you cannot afford to lose.

An account may only be used by the registered account holder. You must keep your login information secure and must not allow another person to place bets using your account. If you believe that your account has been accessed by someone else, or that a bet was placed without your permission, notify the relevant support channel as soon as possible and stop using the account until the matter has been reviewed.

MD88 Casino may apply account controls, transaction checks, identity checks, location checks or other verification measures where required by law, regulation, security procedures or internal policies. You must provide information that is accurate, complete and current. Failure to complete a required check may affect access to betting services or the processing of an account request.

Displayed information

Odds, prices, event details, market descriptions and other information are provided to help you make an informed decision. Information may change before a bet is accepted. You should check the selection, stake, odds, market, event and any applicable terms before confirming your bet. A displayed price is not a guarantee that a bet will be accepted at that price.

2. Placing and accepting bets

A bet is submitted when you select a market and selection, enter or confirm the stake, and follow the instructions shown on the betting interface. Before confirmation, check that the details shown are correct. The responsibility for reviewing a bet before submission rests with the account holder.

1. Select the event, game or market on which you wish to bet.
2. Choose the relevant selection and review the displayed odds or price.
3. Enter the stake or other required betting information.
4. Check the bet slip carefully, including the selection, stake, potential return and any market conditions.
5. Confirm the bet only when all details are correct.
6. Retain the confirmation or transaction record shown after submission.

A bet is not accepted merely because it has been entered into a bet slip or appears on a screen before confirmation. Acceptance occurs only when the betting service records the bet as accepted and provides an appropriate confirmation or account record. If a bet is rejected, interrupted or not recorded as accepted, it should not be treated as a valid bet.

Technical delays, connection failures, device errors, browser issues and interruptions may affect the display or submission of a bet. Do not assume that a bet has been placed because you clicked a button or because a screen did not show an error. Check the account history or betting record before attempting to place the same bet again.

Once accepted, a bet generally cannot be changed, cancelled or withdrawn by the account holder unless a specific feature or market rule expressly allows it. An accepted bet remains subject to these rules, the applicable account terms and the rules displayed for the relevant market.

Errors and irregular bets

If a clear error affects odds, prices, selections, event information, settlement information or another material part of a market, the affected bet may be reviewed. This can include an obvious pricing error, a duplicated market, an incorrectly displayed participant, a technical fault or information that could not reasonably have been intended. Where appropriate, the bet may be cancelled, corrected or settled using the intended terms, subject to applicable requirements.

Bets may also be reviewed where there is suspected fraud, manipulation, misuse of an account, collusion, use of prohibited software, interference with the service or a breach of these rules. Any action taken will depend on the circumstances and the information available.

3. Markets, results and settlement

Each market has a stated outcome or settlement method. The relevant market rules determine which result is used, how ties or abandoned events are treated, and whether special conditions apply. If the general rules and a clearly displayed market-specific rule appear to differ, the market-specific rule will normally apply to that market.

Markets are settled using official or otherwise suitable results and information sources for the relevant event. The source used may depend on the sport, competition, game or market. The result available at the time of settlement may be used even if a later correction, appeal, disciplinary decision or change occurs, unless the applicable market rules state that a later update will be recognised.

For sports and events, settlement may take account of the scheduled start time, postponements, cancellations, abandonment, venue changes, participant changes and whether the event was completed. For games or other non-sport markets, settlement may be based on the recorded outcome, published game result or other information specified by the market.

• A postponed or abandoned event may be cancelled or carried forward where the market rules allow it.
• A selection that does not participate may be treated according to the rules for that market.
• A dead heat or tied result may be settled under the stated dead-heat or tie provisions.
• A market may be cancelled if the event, selection or information needed for settlement is materially changed.
• A result may be corrected if it was settled incorrectly because of an administrative, technical or source error.
• Different parts of a multiple or combination bet may be affected differently if one or more selections are cancelled.

A market may remain open, suspended or unavailable for a period before, during or after an event. Suspension does not by itself mean that a bet has been cancelled. It may be used when material information is pending, the event status is unclear, a result is being checked or the market cannot currently be priced reliably.

Returns are calculated according to the accepted odds, price, stake and settlement rules for the bet. The amount shown before confirmation is an estimate or calculation based on the information then available and may be affected by the final acceptance of the bet, changes permitted under the market rules or the cancellation of a selection.

Multiple and combination bets

A multiple or combination bet links two or more selections. The bet is normally dependent on the applicable result for each selection. If one selection is cancelled, voided or otherwise treated as not applicable, the remaining selections may be used to recalculate the bet in accordance with the relevant rules. The treatment of an invalid selection can differ between products and markets, so check the conditions shown before confirming a combination bet.

4. Account conduct, responsible betting and questions

You must not use the betting service for unlawful activity or in a way that could damage its integrity, security or fair operation. Prohibited conduct may include creating or controlling accounts for another person, using false information, attempting to bypass account controls, exploiting a technical fault, interfering with the website, using unauthorised automated tools or coordinating activity to manipulate a market.

MD88 Casino may restrict, suspend, refuse or close access to a betting service where this is necessary for security, verification, responsible gambling, legal compliance, integrity checks or the enforcement of the applicable terms. Where permitted, information about the reason and any available review process may be provided through the account or support process.

Responsible betting means setting clear limits, keeping track of your activity and taking breaks. Do not chase losses, borrow money to bet, bet when distressed or allow betting to interfere with work, study, relationships or essential expenses. If betting stops feeling enjoyable or manageable, stop using the service and seek help from an appropriate support organisation or health professional in Australia.

• Set a budget before you begin and treat it as an entertainment expense.
• Never increase your stake to try to recover a loss.
• Avoid betting when affected by alcohol, drugs, stress or strong emotions.
• Use available account, deposit, wagering or time controls where offered.
• Take a break or request a restriction if you feel your betting is becoming difficult to control.
• Ask for help early if betting is affecting your finances, wellbeing or relationships.

Reviewing a bet or settlement

If you have a question about an accepted bet, settlement, market rule or account record, review the confirmation and the relevant market information first. Keep the date, event, selection, stake and transaction reference available if one is shown. Questions and complaints should be raised through the support channel or process made available on the website. Do not send sensitive account information through an unverified channel.

These Betting Rules may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to services, markets, technology, legal requirements or operational procedures. The version available on the website at the relevant time will generally apply, subject to any mandatory notice or transition requirements. You should review the rules regularly, particularly before placing a new type of bet or using a new betting feature.
