Betting Rules

1. General betting conditions

These rules apply to casino betting and game play made through 9pokies Casino. Additional conditions may apply to a particular game, promotion, payment method or account feature. The specific game rules displayed on the website form part of the conditions for that game. If there is a difference between a general rule and a game-specific rule, the game-specific rule will normally apply to the relevant game, unless the website Terms and Conditions state otherwise.

You are responsible for reading the information presented before placing a bet. This includes the game name, available stakes, paytable, winning combinations, rules, features, applicable limits and any other instructions. If you do not understand how a game works, do not place a bet until you have reviewed the relevant information. 9pokies Casino does not guarantee that every game will suit every player or that a particular result will occur.

• You must use your own account and must not allow another person to place bets through it.
• You must provide information that is accurate, current and complete when creating or maintaining an account.
• You must meet any applicable age, identity, location and eligibility requirements before using the service.
• You must comply with Australian laws and any local rules that apply to you in the state or territory where you are located.
• You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, money laundering, collusion or any other prohibited purpose.
• You should check that your device, internet connection and software are working correctly before placing a bet.

The website may restrict, suspend or refuse account activity where this is necessary for security, legal, regulatory, responsible gambling or operational reasons. Any action taken on an account will be handled in accordance with the applicable Terms and Conditions and relevant requirements.

2. Accounts, funds and placing bets

Account responsibility

You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity carried out through your account, unless you have promptly reported unauthorised access. Do not share your password, payment details or account access with another person. If you believe your account may have been accessed without permission, stop using it and follow the account security or support process available on the website.

Only one personal account should be used unless the website expressly permits otherwise. Duplicate, linked or misleading accounts may be reviewed. If account information cannot be verified, or if activity appears inconsistent with the rules, bets or transactions may be delayed, declined, cancelled or reviewed under the applicable terms.

Bet placement and acceptance

A bet is generally treated as placed only after the website has received and accepted the instruction and the relevant amount has been deducted or reserved from the available balance. A message, screen display or attempted action does not by itself guarantee that a bet has been accepted. You should check your account history or bet confirmation where available.

Bets cannot normally be changed or cancelled after acceptance unless the game rules or the applicable Terms and Conditions expressly allow it. You should review your stake, selected game, feature choices and any other details before confirming. If your connection fails, your device closes or a page does not refresh, do not assume that a bet was or was not accepted. Check the account record before trying again.

• Bets must be made using funds available in your account and through an approved method.
• You must not attempt to place bets using funds that are subject to a chargeback, reversal or unauthorised payment.
• The minimum or maximum stake may differ between games, bet types, accounts or transactions and will be shown where applicable.
• The displayed balance may change after a bet, win, refund, adjustment, withdrawal request or other account event.
• A pending transaction or delayed screen does not create an entitlement to repeat a transaction.

3. Game results, outcomes and settlements

Casino games are designed to produce outcomes according to the rules and systems applicable to each game. Outcomes are not guaranteed, and previous results do not determine future results. A winning result in one round does not make a win in the next round more or less likely. You should never chase losses or treat gambling as a way to earn income.

Where a game uses randomised outcomes, the result is determined by the game system and the information shown for that game. The result recorded in the account or game history is the result used for settlement, subject to any permitted investigation, correction or adjustment under the applicable rules. Visual effects, animations, sound and game speed do not change the underlying result.

Wins, losses and refunds

Winning bets are credited in accordance with the relevant game rules, subject to account checks, applicable limits and any conditions that apply. Losing bets are deducted from the available balance. A refund or returned stake may be available where a game is cancelled, interrupted or cannot be settled properly, but this depends on the reason for the issue and the rules for that game.

A result may be reviewed where there is a technical issue, incorrect game data, an error in the display, suspected manipulation, a payment problem or another circumstance that affects the integrity of the game. If an obvious error results in an incorrect credit, debit or settlement, the account may be corrected so that it reflects the proper result under the applicable rules. You should report any suspected error promptly and avoid using funds that may have been credited incorrectly.

• The game rules and paytable should be checked before play, including the meaning of symbols, features and bonus rounds.
• A game may be unavailable, interrupted or withdrawn without prior notice where this is reasonably necessary.
• A technical interruption does not automatically mean that a round was cancelled or that a win is payable.
• Where a round has started, the recorded game data may be used to determine whether it can be settled.
• If a round cannot be settled fairly or reliably, the applicable rules will determine whether a correction or refund is available.

4. Technical issues, prohibited conduct and disputes

You should make sure that your device, browser and connection are suitable for the service. Technical problems can include disconnection, delayed communication, incorrect display, duplicate instructions, software faults or interruptions to a payment method. If a problem occurs, stop placing further bets until you can confirm the status of the account or game.

9pokies Casino may investigate unusual or suspicious activity to protect players, the service and the integrity of games. Prohibited conduct may include using bots or automated software, exploiting a vulnerability, interfering with the website, manipulating a game, colluding with another person, using someone else’s account or attempting to avoid security and verification controls.

Where prohibited conduct or a material breach of the rules is identified, action may include refusing a bet, cancelling an affected transaction, restricting an account, delaying a transaction while checks are completed or taking another step permitted by the applicable Terms and Conditions. Any action should be assessed according to the relevant facts and the rules that apply.

Questions and complaints

If you believe a bet has been recorded incorrectly, a game has not settled properly or an account transaction is missing, review your account history first and retain any useful information, such as the game name, approximate time, stake and reference shown on screen. Raise the issue through the support or complaints channel made available on the website. Do not send passwords or complete payment details in a complaint.

A review may require account, game and transaction records. You should provide clear and truthful information and allow reasonable time for the matter to be checked. The outcome will be based on the available records, the applicable game rules, the Terms and Conditions and any legal requirements that apply.

5. Responsible gambling and rule changes

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to solve financial problems. Set a budget before you play and only use money that you can afford to lose. Keep track of your time and spending, take regular breaks and avoid gambling when you are upset, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.

• Never borrow money or use money needed for rent, bills, food or other essential expenses to gamble.
• Do not increase your stakes to try to recover losses.
• Use available account controls, limits, breaks or self-exclusion options if your gambling is becoming difficult to manage.
• Speak with a trusted person or an appropriate gambling support service if gambling is causing stress or harm.
• If you are under the applicable legal gambling age, do not use the service.

The availability of gambling products and the rules that apply may depend on your location. You are responsible for confirming that online gambling is lawful for you before using the service. Access may be restricted in some places, and technical access to the website does not mean that use is permitted in every jurisdiction.

These Betting Rules may be updated when the service, games, legal requirements or operational processes change. The latest version published on the website will apply from the stated effective date or, where no date is shown, from publication. It is your responsibility to review the rules before continuing to play. If you do not agree with an updated rule, you should stop using the relevant service and follow the account options available to you.
