"Sportingbet", “we”, “us” and “our”, are references to Sportingbet Australia, the trading name of Sportingbet Australia Pty Limited A.C.N. 092 468 883 - a company registered in Australia under the Corporations Act 2001
(Cwlth). Sportingbet is licensed by the Northern Territory (“N.T.”) Government in the Commonwealth of Australia to accept wagers by telephone and the Internet on a global basis.
By opening an Sportingbet Betting Account or placing a bet with Sportingbet over the telephone or via the Sportingbet website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below (the “Rules”) so please read the Rules carefully.
The Rules are subject to change without notice and it is the responsibility of any person seeking to rely on the Rules to ensure they are making reference to the most recent Rules by visiting our website at
www.sportingbet.com.au or by contacting Sportingbet on 1800 007 238.
In the interpretation of these Rules, no rule of construction shall apply to the disadvantage of Sportingbet merely on the basis that Sportingbet prepared these Rules or seeks to rely on these Rules or any part thereof.
2.
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
A "Client" is a person who is 18 years or older who has either a Sportingbet Member Account or a Sportingbet Betting Account. Clients are responsible for ensuring that their records, in particular address, telephone number and payment/bank details, are kept up-to-date. In the event that a Client has not kept their records up to date, Sportingbet reserves the right to suspend the Account.
Clients with Sportingbet Member Accounts will have access to enter Sportingbet competitions and are entitled to receive Sportingbet promotional material. Sportingbet Member Account holders do not have any entitlement to place wagers with Sportingbet. Sportingbet Member Account holders who wish to place wagers with Sportingbet are required to open a Sportingbet Betting Account. To open a Sportingbet Betting Account , persons must either go through the funding process and deposit money with Sportingbet, or be granted a Sportingbet Facility in accordance with these Rules.
The Client agrees that by registering a Sportingbet Member Account or Sportingbet Betting Account that their details, including their email address, mobile number and mailing address, may be used by Sportingbet and William Hill Group companies to keep them informed about products, promotions, services and events of either Sportingbet or any William Hill Group company.
Sportingbet shares personal information only with William Hill Group companies in a strictly controlled manner and does not sell personal information to other companies.
For details of William Hill Group companies please see William Hill Group Information.
There are limited circumstances in which external organisations may be given access to your personal
information. One circumstance is where an Australian governing sporting body requests information of a Client who joined Sportingbet after September 1, 2006 and that information will only be provided to assist in a legitimate inquiry conducted by the Australian governing sporting body to maintain the integrity of the sport. Other circumstances where a Client consents for Sportingbet to disclose personal information and as permitted by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) are set out below.
The information may be used or disclosed:
to enable Sportingbet to perform its obligations to the Client under Sportingbet's Rules;
to enable Sportingbet to ensure that the Client performs their obligations under Sportingbet’s Rules;
to a credit reporting agency;
to maintain a credit information file in relation to the Client;
to carry out a credit assessment on the Client;
for planning, research, promotion and marketing of our products and services;
to organisations associated with the provision of our services, such as associated data centres, for marketing and analysis purposes;
to a potential purchaser of, or investor in any business conducted by Sportingbet;
to government and regulatory authorities and other organisations as required or authorised by law;
We require these organisations to agree to our Privacy Policy and to strict conditions governing how this information may be used.
You maintain ownership rights to your personal information, however in the event of a business transition, such as a merger, corporate reorganisation or a purchaser of part of all of Sportingbet’s assets, we may transfer your personal information to a successor entity. You will be notified of such a transfer by email.
If you want to change your contact mechanism (specifying direct mail, telephone or email), or opt out of any communications from Sportingbet or any William Hill Group company, you can do so by amending your details on the Sportingbet website here: Alternatively, contact Customer Service on 1800 007 238.
Please see the Privacy Policy for further details.
3. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that they keep their user name and security details confidential. If a Client suspects that their details may no longer be confidential, they should notify Sportingbet immediately, whereupon new details may be given.
Upon notification of the new details, Sportingbet reserves the right to invalidate any future transactions which utilise the previous details.
4. Clients will be responsible for all wagers in which their user name and security details are used for any activity on their Sportingbet Betting Account, unless they have notified Sportingbet in accordance with Rule 3 above. Subject to Rule 35, any bet (wager) made by telephone or via the Internet where the user name and security details have been used will be regarded by Sportingbet as being valid and may not be changed, cancelled or modified.
5.
CLIENT IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND CONSEQUENCES
In line with all Australian Financial Institutions under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cwlth), all Sportingbet Betting Account holders are required to provide Sportingbet with adequate identification for the purposes of complying with the Act. The provisions of the Act provide for Australian Government standards of identification for proof of name, age and residential address. This is the same process required when opening an Australian bank account.
Upon registering with Sportingbet all Clients consent to have their Identification Details, as provided to Sportingbet, passed to organisations for the purposes of Sportingbet verifying their Identification Details in compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cwlth).
“Identification Details” (ID) means your Name, Address and Date of Birth, as provided to Sportingbet upon registration.
After registering with Sportingbet, Sportingbet will automatically and on behalf of the Client, supply the Client’s Identification Details to a third-party organisation for the purpose of ID verification. If this process is
unsuccessful, Sportingbet offers Clients three methods of complying with the government regulations. We recommend Option 1.
OPTION 1: ONLINE VERIFICATION – AVAILABLE TO AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS ONLY
Our online identity verification system is for Australian Clients’ use only. Go to the My Account section of the Sportingbet website and click on Not Verified. To make the process easier, we recommend that you have with you any two of the following pieces of information:
i. Your Tax File Number; ii. Your Medicare Card; iii. Your Australian Passport.
Please note that Sportingbet does not have access to this information as it is collected by a government authorised body for the purposes of complying with Australian Government legislation. In agreeing to use our online verification, all Clients consent to have their name, date of birth and/or recorded address passed to the government agencies selected for the purposes of their identification verification.
By accepting these Rules you give consent for Sportingbet to disclose your name, residential address and date of birth to a credit reporting agency for the purpose of obtaining an assessment of whether that personal
information so disclosed matches (in whole or in part) the personal information held by the credit reporting agency. This process assists us in verifying your identity as required by the Anti- Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Act 2006.
The credit reporting agency may prepare and provide Sportingbet with such an assessment and may use your personal information including your name, residential addresses and date of birth as contained in any credit information file relating to you and other individuals for the purposes of preparing that assessment. If you disagree with having your identity verified by a credit reporting agency, please contact Sportingbet Customer Service on 1800 007 238 so that we can discuss other options with you.
OPTION 2: VERIFICATION USING AUSTRALIA POST
You can submit your 100 points of verification at your local Australia Post Office:
i. Please print the Australia Post 100 Point Check Form located atSBA 100 Point Check.
i. Read the form carefully, complete it and take the original and the copies of information requested on the form to any Australia Post Office.
OPTION 3: VERIFICATION USING CERTIFIED DOCUMENT COPIES
We require a certified true copy of either:
i. A current driver’s licence showing current address, photo and date of birth OR
A passport and a Utility provider’s statement or invoice, which has been issued within the preceding three months (showing your current name and address).
ii. Clear legible copies should be made of the original documents.
iii. Clients should print their name and PIN on the copies of the original documents and sign the documents in front of the Certifier.
iv. The Certifier should then state "I certify that this copy is a true copy of the original document that I have sighted”.
v. The Certifier should sign and date the documents and include their: - Full Name
- Address
- Work telephone and mobile number - Capacity of Certification
vi. The documents should then be posted (not faxed) to the address below: Sportingbet Australia
PO Box 700 Parap NT 0804 Australia.
For a list of who can certify the documents ("Certifiers") go to:
Certifiers
Sportingbet reserves the right to ask for additional information to be supplied if the copies are illegible/unclear, or if we need further information in compliance with government legislation.
Sportingbet reserves the right, at any time, to request a Client undergo additional identity checks, including but not limited to, re-verification of Client identification and requesting additional identification documents from a Client.
Failure to provide verification of your identity will result in closure or suspension of your Sportingbet Betting Account. Clients who hold a Sportingbet Member Account are not required to verify or identify themselves in accordance with this clause; however, they are bound by the rules of individual competitions and, as such, may be required to provide identification at some stage.
6. If a Client's identification is not received by Sportingbet within 90 days of activation, the Sportingbet Betting Account will be suspended and any balance in the Sportingbet Betting Account will remain frozen and will be treated in accordance with the Companies (Unclaimed Assets and Moneys) Act (N.T.).
7. Under the terms of our Northern Territory Licence to Conduct the Business of a Sports Bookmaker, if a Sportingbet Betting Account is suspended under Rule 6, all bets will stand. For information on the type of identification that is accepted by Sportingbet and how to get this information to us, please visit:

(a) the Client is less than 18 years of age;
(b) the Client is betting on behalf of a person who is less than 18 years of age; and/or (c) the Client is in breach of these Rules.
9. Sportingbet cares strongly for its public reputation and does not permit persons under the age of 18 years to hold a Sportingbet Betting Account or a Sportingbet Member Account. If your children have access to the computer you are using to log into Sportingbet's Internet service, we recommend the installation of a child protection software package (e.g. Cyber Patrol, Net Nanny).
10. In addition, Sportingbet reserves the right to close a Client’s Sportingbet Betting Account and refund the balance of their account without further explanation. In this event, outstanding wagers will be honoured, unless the Sportingbet Betting Account has been used for any suspected fraudulent transaction or purpose in which case outstanding wagers will be void.
11. A Client is deemed to have accepted these Rules and Sportingbet's Privacy Policy by opening a Sportingbet Betting Account or by placing a wager with Sportingbet via the telephone or via the Sportingbet website, mobile sites or Apps. Clients can view the Privacy Policy on the Sportingbet website at
Privacy Policy or request this in writing.
Sportingbet reserves the right to change, amend or add to these Rules and Sportingbet's Privacy Policy as it sees fit without providing further notice other than posting the current Rules or Privacy Policy on the Sportingbet website www.sportingbet.com.au. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that they keep up-to-date with the current Rules of Betting.
12. Where a Client has opened a Sportingbet Betting Account with Sportingbet after 1 September 2006, Sportingbet reserves the right to provide Australian governing sporting bodies, upon their request, with:
(a) records or documents in the possession or control of Sportingbet (excluding bank account details, credit card details and government identifiers) relating to betting transactions of the Client; and
(b) the names, contact details and similar identifying information in the possession or control of Sportingbet relating to Clients who have entered into betting transactions after 1 September 2006.

"Australian governing sporting bodies" means any organisations charged with the administration of Thoroughbred Racing, Harness Racing, Greyhound Racing, NRL, AFL, Tennis, Golf, Rugby Union, Basketball, Cricket, Netball and Soccer throughout Australia.
13. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in these Rules, but subject to our Northern Territory Licence to Conduct the Business of a Sports Bookmaker, if Sportingbet publishes, posts or quotes any incorrect betting information for any sporting event, such as posting wrong dividends or lines, then regardless of the cause or source of such error:
(a) Such wagers will be void if the error is identified prior to the commencement of the event and notified by Sportingbet to the most recent telephone or facsimile contact number or email address supplied by a Client, whose wager on that event has been accepted or confirmed by Sportingbet. If the wager is part of a multiple bet, the wager will then be recalculated without the team/competitor which had the error; or
(b) The wager on the event shall stand if the error is identified only after the commencement of the event or for any other reason not notified to the Client's point of contact prior to commencement of the event. The only exception to this is where Sportingbet can demonstrate that the error was manifest or obvious, or that the Client otherwise should reasonably have been aware of the error when the wager was placed. If a Client has been paid winnings in error, Sportingbet shall be entitled to issue the Client with an invoice demanding repayment. In such circumstances, the invoice shall be evidence that the amount is due and payable.
14.
Notwithstanding anything in these Rules and for the avoidance of doubt, a Sportingbet Betting Account may go into debit as a result of the normal operation of the Account, notwithstanding that the Account has not been granted a Sportingbet Facility.
If a Client Account does go into debit, the Client shall be responsible for repaying Sportingbet the debit balance and Sportingbet shall be entitled to issue the Client with an invoice demanding repayment. In such circumstances, the invoice shall be evidence that the amount is due and payable.
15. Sportingbet has made considerable efforts to ensure its sports betting business operates in a fair, prompt and accurate manner. Save to the extent permitted by law (and only to such an extent), Sportingbet excludes all warranties (express or implied) relating to its sports betting business and shall not have any liability for direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage, expense or injury suffered by any Client.
16. Subject to Rule 15, Sportingbet's liability in respect of any claim or loss shall be limited in amount to the relevant wager placed by a Client.
17. Sportingbet reserves the right to void any or all wagers made by any individual or group of people acting together either in an attempt to defraud Sportingbet or to gain financial benefit through the manipulation of Tote-based dividends or official starting prices. This can include persons, relatives, organisations, bookmakers and their employees.
18. All wagers are placed and received in the Northern Territory in the Commonwealth of Australia.

(b) if, after the transfers, there is a credit balance in the original Sportingbet Betting Account, the credit balance will be held by Sportingbet until such time as a determination has been made by Sportingbet as to whether or not there has been a breach of these Rules.
21. The regulatory authority is the Northern Territory Racing Commission, or such other authority authorised by the Laws of the Northern Territory for that purpose.
22. If a Client receives a bonus that requires a deposit to be made to claim the bonus, both the deposit and the bonus must be wagered. Sportingbet reserves the right to remove the bonus and refund the remaining balance should a Client be in breach of these conditions.
23.
Sportingbet reserves the right to withhold funds from Clients who have not completed the identification process. Funds will be released as soon as this process has been completed.

35. Clients are unable to cancel or change a wager once the wager has been placed and the acceptance confirmed, unless the Client informs Sportingbet as soon as practicable after the wager was struck (but before the event has commenced) that the wager was made in error.

43.
PAYMENT TERMS
Winnings will be credited to a Client’s Sportingbet Betting Account following confirmation of the final result. Should funds be credited to a Sportingbet Betting Account in error for any reason, it is the Client's responsibility to notify Sportingbet of the error without delay and the Client shall return to Sportingbet any funds credited in error. Any wrongful credited amounts are immediately due and payable by the Client to Sportingbet regardless as to whether any funds have been paid to the Client following the error or the Client has made wagers that negatively affect their Account Balance.

balance, credit balance or nil balance;
