Betting Rules

1. Scope and acceptance

These rules form part of the terms that apply to your use of Tikitaka Casino. By accessing a betting feature, submitting a bet or using any related service, you confirm that you have read and accepted these rules, together with the website terms, privacy policy and responsible gambling information. If you do not agree with any part of these rules, you must not place a bet.

The rules are intended to provide a general explanation of how betting activity is handled. They do not replace the specific rules displayed for an individual sport, event, market, game or promotion. Where a product page contains additional conditions, those conditions should be read before you place a bet. If there is an apparent difference between general information and a specific product rule, the specific rule may apply to that product.

Tikitaka Casino may update, correct or improve these rules when necessary. Updated rules will be made available on the website. You should check the current version before placing a bet, particularly if you have not used the service for some time. Changes will not normally alter a bet that has already been accepted unless this is necessary to correct an obvious error, comply with applicable requirements or deal with a matter covered by these rules.

Eligibility and account use

• You must meet the minimum legal age and other eligibility requirements that apply to the service and your location.
• You may only use the service where access to the relevant betting product is permitted under applicable Australian law and any other law that applies to you.
• You must provide information that is accurate, current and complete when creating or maintaining an account.
• Your account must be used only by you. You must keep your login details private and notify the operator if you believe another person has accessed your account.
• You must not create or use an account on behalf of another person, allow another person to place bets through your account or use another person’s payment method without proper authorisation.
• The operator may request identity, age, payment or source-of-funds information before allowing betting activity or processing a transaction.

An account may be restricted, suspended or closed if information cannot be verified, if the account appears to be used improperly, if responsible gambling controls require action, or if the operator reasonably believes that a law, rule or account condition may have been breached.

2. Placing and accepting bets

You are responsible for checking your selections, stake, odds, bet type and any other details before confirming a bet. A bet is not accepted merely because you have selected an option or entered a stake. It is accepted only when the system confirms acceptance and records the transaction. You should retain the confirmation shown in your account until the relevant event or game has been settled.

The availability of a market, price or betting option may change at any time. Prices can move quickly, and an amount shown on screen may not remain available while you are completing a transaction. A bet may be accepted at a changed price only where the system clearly presents the change and you confirm it, or in another way permitted by the applicable product rules.

Before you confirm a bet

1. Check that you are using the correct account and that the account balance or payment method is available for the intended stake.
2. Review the event, participant, market, selection, bet type, odds and stake.
3. Check whether the bet is a single, combination, multi, system or another available bet type.
4. Read any displayed event conditions, minimum or maximum stake information and settlement notes.
5. Confirm that the final bet slip matches your intention before submitting it.
6. Wait for an acceptance message or bet reference before treating the bet as placed.

Once accepted, a bet generally cannot be changed or withdrawn by the customer. A cancellation, cash-out or similar feature may be offered for some bets, but availability is not guaranteed and any displayed offer may change or expire. If such a feature is used successfully, the bet will be handled according to the terms shown at the time.

Bets must be placed using funds available in your account or through an approved payment process. A transaction may be declined, delayed or reversed where payment cannot be authorised, a balance is insufficient, account checks are incomplete or a payment method is not permitted. You must not attempt to bypass transaction controls, deposit restrictions or account limits.

Errors, interruptions and unusual activity

Technical problems, data errors, communication failures or human mistakes may occasionally affect a price, market, result or account display. If an obvious error occurs, the operator may take reasonable steps to correct it. This may include voiding an affected bet, settling it using the correct information or adjusting an incorrectly recorded outcome where permitted by the relevant rules.

If a bet is duplicated because of a technical issue, or if activity appears unusual, automated, fraudulent or designed to exploit an error, the affected transactions may be reviewed. The operator may suspend related activity while reviewing the matter and may take action under the website terms and applicable law.

3. Odds, results and settlement

Odds show the potential return or outcome associated with a selection. They are not a guarantee that a bet will win, and they may change before acceptance. The total return for a winning bet depends on the accepted odds, stake, bet type and any applicable deductions or conditions displayed for that product.

A bet is settled using the official result or result source applicable to the relevant market. The rules for the product may identify how postponements, abandoned events, changes of venue, disqualifications, protests, dead heats, ties, non-runners, overtime or other unusual circumstances are treated. You should review those rules before betting because the treatment can differ between markets.

General settlement principles

• Only bets recorded as accepted are eligible for settlement.
• A result may be confirmed after the event has finished if official information is subject to review or confirmation.
• The first official result may not always be final where the relevant market rules provide for a later correction.
• If an event is abandoned, postponed or materially changed, the applicable market rules determine whether the bet stands, is carried forward or is voided.
• Where a selection or market is declared void, the treatment of a related combination or multi bet depends on the product rules.
• A bet that has been settled may be reviewed if the settlement was based on an obvious error, incorrect result or later official correction.
• Any return credited to an account in error may be removed, and the account holder must not deliberately use funds that were credited incorrectly.

For live or in-play betting, information may be delayed and prices may change while an event is in progress. A bet may be rejected or held for confirmation if the relevant event has materially changed, a score has changed, a market is suspended or the available information is no longer current. You are responsible for understanding that live betting carries additional timing and information risks.

For casino or other wagering games, the outcome is determined by the game rules and the result generated or recorded by the applicable gaming system. Rules for each game, including the meaning of winning combinations, special features, bonus rounds and any relevant conditions, should be checked on the game page before play. A displayed animation or delay does not change the recorded outcome.

Checking your account and raising an issue

You should review your bet history, balance and transaction records regularly. If a bet appears to be missing, incorrectly recorded or settled contrary to the displayed rules, raise the issue through the support method available on the website as soon as reasonably possible. Include the bet reference, relevant date, product and a clear description of the concern. Do not send passwords or full payment details when reporting a problem.

An enquiry may be reviewed against system records, event information, payment records and the applicable rules. A review may take time where information must be checked with a result provider or where account verification is required. The operator’s records will generally be used to determine whether a bet was submitted and accepted, subject to any rights you have under applicable law.

4. Responsible and lawful betting

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Only bet with money you can afford to lose. Set a budget before you start, keep track of your spending and avoid increasing your stake because you are trying to win back previous losses. Take regular breaks and do not bet when you are upset, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or unable to make clear decisions.

• Set personal deposit, spending, time or loss limits where these tools are available.
• Use a break or self-exclusion option if betting is no longer enjoyable or is becoming difficult to control.
• Do not borrow money, sell possessions or use essential household funds to place bets.
• Never ask another person to open an account for you or place bets on your behalf.
• Keep betting separate from everyday bills, savings and financial commitments.
• Seek independent support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, study or wellbeing.

You must use the service lawfully and comply with all applicable rules. You must not participate in prohibited activity, misuse promotions or payment systems, interfere with the website, use automated tools without permission, manipulate an event or provide false information. Any suspected fraud, money laundering, collusion or other unlawful conduct may be reported or referred to the appropriate authority where required.

If you are concerned about your gambling, stop placing bets and use the responsible gambling tools available through the website. You can also seek confidential assistance from an appropriate Australian gambling support service. Tikitaka Casino cannot provide financial, legal or medical advice, so consider obtaining independent advice where you need help with those matters.

These rules should be read with the current website terms and any specific rules displayed for the product you choose. If you have questions about a bet, check the relevant market information and use the support channels shown on the website before placing another bet.
