Betting Rules

By opening, viewing or placing a bet through Lucky Vegas, you agree to follow these Betting Rules and the other terms that apply to your account. If a market has event-specific rules, those rules form part of the terms for that market. If there is an inconsistency between a general rule and a specific market rule, the specific market rule will generally apply to the relevant bet.

Players are responsible for checking the details of a bet before confirming it. This includes the event, competition, market, selection, odds, stake, potential return, bet type and any conditions displayed on the betting slip. Once a bet has been accepted, it may not be changed or cancelled unless the applicable rules expressly allow it.

A player must use their own account and provide information that is complete, accurate and current. Accounts must not be shared, transferred or used by another person. You must also comply with any age, identity, location and account verification requirements that apply to the service and to gambling in Australia.

• Only bets placed through the approved betting interface and recorded in the account history are recognised.
• A bet is not final merely because a player has selected a market or entered a stake.
• A bet is accepted only when the system confirms acceptance and records the transaction.
• The bet receipt, confirmation screen or account history should be retained as evidence of the bet details.
• Players should not rely on a screenshot or an unconfirmed betting slip as proof that a bet was accepted.
• The available balance should be checked before and after placing a bet.

Available markets and odds

Markets, selections and odds may change before or during an event. Displayed odds are not a promise that a bet will be accepted at that price. Where an odds change is shown before confirmation, the player may be asked to accept the updated odds or return to the previous screen. The odds applying to an accepted bet are those recorded in the confirmation and account history, subject to these rules and any correction required under the Terms and Conditions.

Some markets may be restricted, suspended or unavailable at any time. Suspension can occur before an event, during an event or when information relevant to the market is being checked. A suspended market must not be treated as available for betting until it is reopened and a bet is confirmed.

Bets are settled using the official result or other result source specified for the relevant market. The result used may depend on the sport, competition, event type and market wording. A result announced at the venue, by an official governing body or through another recognised source may be used. Any later change to a result will only affect settlement where the applicable market rules expressly provide for it.

Market wording matters

The exact wording of a market determines what is being bet on. For example, a market may refer to the result at the end of regulation time, the final result after extra time, a particular period, a named participant, a specific score or another defined point in an event. Players should read the market description rather than assume that a commonly used meaning applies.

Where an event is postponed, abandoned, interrupted, rescheduled or changed, settlement will depend on the rules for the affected market. Some bets may remain valid if the event is completed within the relevant conditions. Other bets may be void if the required event or market conditions are not met. The same principle applies where a participant withdraws, a fixture changes, a venue changes or the format of an event is altered.

• A void bet is treated as cancelled for settlement purposes, with the stake handled in accordance with the applicable rules.
• A selection may be void while other selections in a combination bet remain subject to settlement.
• A dead heat or tied result may be settled using a reduced payout or other method stated in the market rules.
• If no valid result can be established under the relevant rules, the affected market may be void.
• Where a participant or team is incorrectly named, the bet may be void or settled according to the specific correction rule for that market.
• A result may be reviewed if there is a reasonable basis to believe that the market was settled incorrectly.

Live and in-play betting

Live betting carries a higher risk of delay between an event occurring and information being displayed. Prices can change quickly, and a market may be suspended before a bet is confirmed. Players should consider that live pictures, scores, statistics and commentary may not be delivered in real time and may not be complete or accurate.

A live bet placed after a material event has already occurred may be reviewed under the applicable in-play rules. If a bet is accepted after the market should have been suspended, or if the bet was accepted using materially incorrect information, the bet may be corrected or voided where permitted. Players must not use delayed information, software or other methods intended to obtain an improper advantage.

Cash out and early settlement

If a cash-out or early settlement feature is available, it is offered subject to availability and can be withdrawn, suspended or changed. A cash-out request is not complete until it is confirmed. If an event or market changes while a request is processing, the request may fail or the original bet may remain active. The amount shown by a cash-out feature may not be available at all times.
