1. General Platform Conduct

All users of SportBetOz must comply with these conduct guidelines to ensure a fair, secure, and legally compliant experience for all participants. By accessing or using any part of our platform, you agree to act in accordance with the following standards:

• Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years of age and reside in a jurisdiction where online wagering is legally permitted. Proof of age and identity may be required at any time.
• Account Security: Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and any activity that occurs under their account.
• Prohibited Conduct: Users must not engage in fraudulent behaviour, misuse the platform, exploit technical vulnerabilities, use automated scripts, or participate in any form of match-fixing, manipulation, or collusion.
• Single Account Rule: Each individual is allowed to maintain only one account. Duplicate or proxy accounts may be suspended or terminated without notice.
• Respect for Others: Harassment, abuse, discriminatory behaviour, or inappropriate conduct towards other users, support staff, or public figures will not be tolerated.

SportBetOz reserves the right to take corrective action, including account suspension or permanent exclusion, if any user is found to be in violation of these rules. We also cooperate with regulatory authorities and law enforcement where appropriate.

2. Wagering Rules and Bet Settlement

All bets placed on SportBetOz are subject to the rules outlined below. These terms ensure that wagering is conducted transparently, fairly, and in line with applicable laws and industry standards.

• Bet Confirmation: A bet is only considered valid once it has been accepted by our servers and reflected in your account history. A bet confirmation receipt will serve as proof of acceptance.
• Market Availability: Betting markets may open, close, or be suspended at our discretion based on external events, suspicious activity, or technical issues. SportBetOz is not liable for bets attempted during outages or downtime.
• Settlement Basis: All wagers are settled based on official match results, statistics, or governing body outcomes. In the case of dispute or ambiguity, SportBetOz reserves the right to delay settlement until confirmation is received.
• Void or Cancelled Events: Bets on events that are cancelled, abandoned, or postponed beyond the allowable period (as specified by each sport’s rules) will be voided and stakes refunded unless otherwise stated.
• Pricing Errors: In rare cases of obvious odds or pricing errors, SportBetOz reserves the right to void or correct affected bets, provided no material advantage was knowingly gained.
• Live/In-Play Betting: Live bets are subject to latency and rapid changes in pricing. We do not guarantee acceptance of all live wagers and may suspend markets without prior notice.

In all cases, SportBetOz strives to ensure clarity, accuracy, and integrity in the bet settlement process. Users are advised to review bet details carefully before confirmation.

3. Responsible Gambling & Self-Exclusion

SportBetOz is committed to fostering a safe and responsible betting environment. We believe that wagering should remain a form of entertainment, not a source of harm or distress. To support responsible gambling, we provide access to tools, resources, and self-exclusion services for those who need them.

• Self-Exclusion: Users who wish to exclude themselves from wagering may do so at any time via our account settings or by contacting support. Exclusion is available for defined periods or indefinitely, depending on the user's needs.
• National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop): SportBetOz participates in the Australian Government's BetStop program. This register allows individuals to self-exclude from all licensed online wagering providers in Australia.
• Support Services: If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related harm, we encourage you to seek help through one of the following professional services:
  • Gambling Help Online
  • Lifeline Australia – 13 11 14
  • Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation
  • Gamblers Anonymous Australia
• Parental Controls: We recommend that parents or guardians install appropriate parental control software to prevent underage access to gambling sites.

Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility. We actively monitor user behaviour to detect potential harm and may intervene where necessary to support user safety and wellbeing.
