1.2 To open a betting account with Unibet (Account or Betting Account) you must be aged 18 years or older. You must not open an Account with Unibet if you are under 18 years old. A 'Client' is a person who holds an Account, and any reference to 'you'/‘You’, or 'your'/’Your’ or 'Account Holder' in these terms and conditions is a reference to a Client. If the Client is less than 18 years of age, Unibet reserves the right to (a) close the Client’s Account and/or (b) refuse or void any wager or part of a wager or withhold deposited funds without giving a reason at any time.

1.3 This set of terms and conditions ('Terms') as well as the Privacy Policy, and the Unibet Rules of Racing and Sport ('Rules') govern the use of the Unibet website (www.unibet.com.au, Unibet App and any pages or websites under the Unibet brand and any Unibet applications that are owned and operated by Unibet (the 'Website') and telephone service (collectively the 'Service').

1.4 By using the Service, as a Client or guest, the Client or guest is therefore agreeing that s/he has read, understood and will comply with these Terms, Rules, Privacy Policy and any other Unibet policy published on the Website.

1.5 Access to Unibet's  Website/s is provided on a temporary basis, at the sole discretion of Unibet. Unibet reserves the right to withdraw, restrict access or amend the service it provides on its Website without notice. You agree that:

a. Online or telephone betting may be illegal or restricted in the country in which you are located or reside and if so, you are not authorised to open an Account with Unibet, use or attempt to use the services Unibet provides on its Websites or use  a payment card or payment method to complete transaction(s) or place a bet on the Websites. You further agree that it is your responsibility to understand, know and comply with the applicable laws and regulations concerning online and telephone betting in the country in which you are located or reside prior to either applying to become a Client or placing a bet on your Unibet Account.

b. We monitor transactions on your Account periodically and you accept that if we detect any activity that indicates that you are or may be betting on your Account in a country where online or telephone betting is illegal, we may at our sole discretion, suspend or permanently close your Account, refuse or cancel any bets and/or not permit withdrawal of the original funds until Client has satisfied our request for proof of method, personal identification and ban Account information.

1.6 Unibet shall make a recording of all telephone calls that take place between Unibet and Clients, both incoming and outgoing. The Client consents to these recordings being made and the Client agrees that the relevant recording(s) and/or any records of a Client's transactions may be made available to any Authority (as defined in Cl 8 of 'Unibet's Reserved Rights'). All records of voice recordings will be securely retained by us in accordance with our privacy obligations and for regulatory purposes.

1.7 All dividends shown are for a $1 investment.  All tote-based dividends displayed are approximate only.

1.9 Upon acceptance of these Terms by the Client, the Terms (as amended from time to time under paragraph 7 above) are irrevocable and will remain in effect for as long as the Client holds a Betting Account.

1.10 None of Unibet's agents or representatives are authorised to make any representations, statements, conditions or agreements and Unibet is not bound by any such unauthorised statements.

1.11 The Client undertakes to update their Unibet account details within three (3) days of any change in the Client's name and/or any other change in the Client's details (including but not limited to changes in the Client's residential address, email address, or telephone number). Unibet, at its discretion, may require formal proof of these changes in line with Clause 3.

1.12 Once a Betting Account has been opened, it cannot be used (that is bets cannot be placed) until the Client has elected whether s/he wishes to set a deposit pre-commitment level. If the Client elects to set a pre-commitment level (PCL), the Betting Account cannot be used until the Client has set a PCL. If a client sets a PCL, that Client agrees that:

    a. the amount s/he deposits into their Betting Account in each defined PCL period will not exceed the amount of the PCL;

    b. if s/he chooses to lower their PCL, the new limit will be in force immediately; and

    c. if s/he chooses to increase their PCL or revoke their PCL (i.e. so that they elect NOT to set a PCL), the increased or revoked limit will not take effect until seven (7) days after the request.

7 Client Identification Requirements

7.1 The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (the Act), National Consumer Protection Framework (NCPF) and NT regulations require Unibet to verify the identity of each Client. As at 29 September 2023, Clients are required to verify their identity prior to the opening of an Account. You cannot transact on an Account until your identity is verified. The procedure for identification is set out on our Website.

7.2 By accepting these terms and conditions you give consent for Unibet to disclose your name, residential address and date of birth to a third party provider (e.g. Green Id, Dun and Bradstreet, Edentiti ) for the purpose of electronic identification verification, which may involve checking the Client’s ID against third party databases, including credit reporting agencies.
The credit reporting agency may prepare and provide Unibet with an assessment of personal identification against credit records and may use your personal information including the names, residential addresses and dates of birth contained in credit information files of you and other individuals for the purposes of preparing such an assessment. Unibet may also use other public information to verify a Client’s identity.

The credit reporting agency may prepare and provide Unibet with an assessment of personal identification against credit records and may use your personal information including the names, residential addresses and dates of birth contained in credit information files of you and other individuals for the purposes of preparing such an assessment.
Unibet may also use other public information to verify a Clientís identity.

7.3 Unibet requires proof of a Client’s current address. If the Client’s address is not verified by third party or provided via a legible copy of the front or back of an acceptable piece of photographic identification (eg license, passport), the Client must provide proof of current address acceptable to Unibet. Acceptable proof of current address in such circumstances may include, at Unibet’s discretion, a certified copy of one or more of the following documents (which must be dated no more than 3 months prior to the date that the Client provides the document to Unibet):

a) a rates notice;
b) a utility bill; or
c) a statement from a financial institution; or
d) an official Australian governmental letter.

7.4    All certified documents must be produced in the English language or they will be rejected. Unibet reserves the right to carry out checks on the individual certifying documents and to contact the issuing entity and / or certifier to verify the validity of the document. Unibet may in its discretion reject certified documents for any reason.

7.5 Unibet may at any time request acceptable photographic identification and proof of a Client’s current address from a Client to ensure that all information supplied by the Client is up to date. This may require official certification of a Client’s ID documents by a permitted Certifier upon our request.

7.6    Should a Client deliberately falsify any Identification or any other details for any purpose associated with applying for an Account or transacting on the Account, Unibet reserves the right to suspend the Account and/or close the Account without prior notification to the Client.

7.7   If a Prepaid/Virtual/Electronic/Travel/Debit/Credit card is to be used by a Client to fund the Account, legible copies of the front of the applicable card may be requested by Unibet for its approval. Unibet reserves the right at its discretion to refuse to accept a Credit card including but not limited to in circumstances where the Credit card is dishonoured. Credit cards used to fund a Client's Account must match the Client's Account details.

Credit cards with a name other than that which is registered with Unibet for the Account in question may be refused and the Account may be suspended until proof of consent is provided by the third party cardholder. Unibet reserves the right to request a copy of the front of the card registered on the Account at any time. Receipt of a card is no guarantee of Account activation/re-activation. In the event that Unibet detects a third party deposit after there is betting activity on the Account, Unibet may at its sole discretion void any settled and/or outstanding bets, and refund the initial deposit.

7.8 Under the terms of our licence, Unibet must be reasonably satisfied that all Clients are 18 years of age or older. If a Client's identification is not received by Unibet or age verification is not established to Unibet’s satisfaction upon the opening of the Client's registration then the Betting Account will not be opened or be suspended until identification is received. No bets shall be made until the Client’s identification is completed.

7.9 If Unibet determines that funds deposited are not for the purpose of betting, Unibet may in its discretion decline the deposit, return the funds to the bank account used to fund the Account, and close the Client's Account.

7.10 If Unibet determines that the funds deposited are not from a funding instrument in the Client’s name or are not expressly authorised to be used by them, Unibet reserves the right to decline the deposit and return the funds to the original payment method. If this determination takes place after bets have been placed, Unibet reserves the right to void any resulted or pending bets on the Client’s Account.

7.11 If Unibet determines that there is not enough information to prove the owner of a particular payment option, we reserve the right to request certified documentation as proof of ownership prior to making any decision.

7.12 Unibet reserves the right to check directly with the Client’s funding institution that supplied the payment option used to deposit to confirm that the details provided by the Client to Unibet are valid and correct.

7.13 Unibet requires that any deposits into a Client's Account be turned over at least once or 'bet through' prior to authorising a withdrawal from the Client's Account.

7.14 Unibet reserves the right to waive clause 7.13 should the Client be restricted in stake while placing a bet, if an error is made during a transaction, or for any other reason, determined at our discretion.

7.15 Unibet must comply with the Act. Should we consider that a deposit or withdrawal may potentially be fraudulent, we reserve the right to request proof of deposit or withdrawal bank account information to verify that the information provided is true and correct prior to permitting funds to be withdrawn from the Account.

7.16  Client agree that as the account holder, you are the only person permitted to use your Account (including accessing, betting with, depositing funds into, and withdrawing funds from your Account). Third party bank account holders or credit card holders must not transact on an Account that has not been registered in their name. 

7.17 Unibet reserves the right to prevent funds being withdrawn from a Client Betting Account and place limits on deposits until the Client has completed the identification, financial verification and age verification processes satisfactorily. Funds will be processed and paid as soon as this process has been completed to the satisfaction of Unibet in its sole discretion.

8.2 Unibet reserves the right at any time to refuse or cancel any wager and/or void a wager or winnings, or refuse or void any part of a wager (the Reserved Rights), without giving a reason at any time if any one or more of the following occur or in Unibet’s reasonable opinion that:

i. the Client is conducting criminal or illegal activities whereby an Account is directly or indirectly involved;
j. the Client is employing or making use of a system (including machines, robots, computers, software or any other automated system) designed to defeat or capable of defeating or circumventing the Unibet’s Application and/or Software;
k. the Client is using  the Services illegally in his/her country of residence or otherwise restricted for him/her to open a gaming account, purchase or use services from Unibet and/or otherwise participate in the games offered. It is the Account Holder’s responsibility to ensure his/her use of Unibet’s Website and Services is legal;

q. the Client opens an Account in circumstances where Unibet reasonably suspects the person  has previously or is currently self-excluded, the Account is being operated (whether directly or indirectly) by a third party who has previously or is currently self-excluded.

8.3 In addition, if any of the matters set out in clause 8.2 applies and/or failures to comply with clause 17 applies, at Unibet’s sole discretion and without further explanation, Unibet reserves the right to, without further explanation to:

a.     suspend or permanently close a Client's Betting Account and refund the balance of the Betting Account; or
b.     suspend or permanently close a Client’s Betting Account and refund deposits of any cancelled or voided wagers; or
c.     suspend or permanently close a Client’s Betting Account and withhold deposited funds or balance of the Betting Account;
In this event, any outstanding wagers that are not voided or cancelled, will be honoured unless Unibet management declares otherwise at its sole discretion.

8.4 Unibet reserves the right to close a Client's Betting Account and refund the balance of the Betting Account without further explanation. In this event, any outstanding wagers, after the application of Cl 4.2, will be honored unless Unibet management declares otherwise.

8.5 Unibet reserves the right to withhold the deposited funds and/or withhold payment and (subject to the concurrence of the NTRC) to declare bets on an event void if we have evidence that any of the following has occurred:    

    a. the integrity of the event has been called into question;
    b. the price(s) or pool has been manipulated; or
    c. match rigging has taken place.

Evidence of the above may be based on the size, volume or pattern of bets placed with Unibet or other factors of which Unibet is aware. A decision given by the relevant governing body of the sport in question (if any) will be conclusive.

8.6 Unibet has the right to provide Australian sporting bodies, upon their request, with:

a. records, documents or other information in the possession or control of Unibet relating to betting transactions of any Client; and
b. the name(s), contact details and similar identifying information in the possession or control of Unibet relating to any Client

Such information will only be provided as required by contract or to assist in a legitimate inquiry conducted by any Authority (as defined below) . For the avoidance of doubt, the Client consents to Unibet providing the above information to an Authority. ’Authority’ includes any Australian Governing Sports Body (as defined below), Australian law enforcement agency and the Northern Territory Racing Commission and BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register. Only the information in clause 8.5(b) shall be provided to BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register in accordance with the Interactive Gambling (National Self-exclusion Register) Register Rules 2022 (Cth).

8.7 Irrespective of anything contained elsewhere in these Terms or the Rules, if Unibet 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. where the error is identified prior to the commencement of the event and notified by Unibet to the most recent telephone or facsimile contact number or email address supplied by a Client and this notification takes places after that Client’s wager on that event has been accepted or confirmed by Unibet, such wagers will be void.  If the wager is part of a multi bet, the wager will then be re-calculated without the team/competitor to which the error related.
b. where 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 wager on the event shall stand. The only exception is where Unibet 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.

8.8 Unibet has made considerable efforts to ensure its Service operates in a fair, prompt and accurate manner. Save to the extent permitted by Australian law (and only to such an extent), Unibet excludes all warranties (express or implied) relating to its wagering business and shall not have any liability for direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage, expense or injury suffered by any Client.

Subject to the Rule/s which apply to that wager and Australian law, Unibet's liability in respect of any claim or loss, including a contractual claim under these Terms, shall be limited in amount to the amount of the relevant wager placed by a Client.

8.9 Client may only have one (1) Betting Account unless otherwise agreed to by Unibet. If a Client has more than one (1) Betting Account(s), Unibet may transfer the Account balances of the additional Client Betting Account(s) into the original Client Betting Account and, if, after the transfers from the additional Client Betting Account(s):

a. the original Betting Account has a debit balance, the Client shall, upon Unibet's demand, make payment for the debit balance immediately; or
b. the original Betting Account has a credit balance, this balance may be held by Unibet until such time as a determination has been made by Unibet as to whether or not there has been a breach of these Terms.

8.10 Subject to the terms and conditions of a specific promotion or offer, where a Client is offered a bonus by Unibet and the Client is required to make a deposit to claim the bonus, the Client must wager the value of their qualifying deposit before the Client is entitled to withdraw any winnings related to the bonus. Unibet reserves the right to revoke the bonus and refund the remaining balance should a Client be in breach of this Term or the terms and conditions of the specific bonus.

8.11 If a Client wishes to withdraw funds they have deposited into their Unibet Account before having wagered the funds in any event/betting offer, Unibet reserves the right to refuse the Client to withdraw the deposited funds until such time as the entirety of the funds has first been wagered.

8.12 Unibet reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine that a Client is not eligible for certain products, bet types, or promotions.

8.13 Unibet reserve the rights to remove or add payment options from time to time.

9 Acceptance

9.1 Wagers will be accepted up to the advertised start time of the event or such time as determined by Unibet.

9.2 If a wager is inadvertently accepted in respect of an event after it starts, Unibet shall have the discretion to void the wager and refund the stake to the Client’s Betting Account. When making a wager via the telephone, it is the Client's responsibility to quote their correct user-name and/or User Number.

9.3 Unibet has the right to refuse any wager placed via the telephone  where the amount staked is less than AUD$10.

9.4 The minimum stake of any wager placed via the Website  is AUD$1.00.

9.5 All prices/lines are subject to variation and, with the exception of tote-related or top fluctuation wagers, will only be fixed once the wager is accepted by Unibet.

9.6 Each-way wagers placed via the Website  must be the same stake for the win and place portion unless placed as separate win and place transactions.

9.7 Unibet may, in its absolute discretion, offer the 'Cash Out feature' for selected products or bet types. The Cash Out feature, and any bets in respect of which the Cash Out feature is available, are governed by these Rules and the additional rules described here ('Cash Out Rules'). In the event of any inconsistency between these Rules and the Cash Out Rules, the Cash Out Rules will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. By entering into a bet, you acknowledge that:

     a. you may not be able to Cash Out your bet at any particular time, or at all, during a bet; and
     b. Unibet may deny your request to Cash Out your bet for any reason whatsoever.

9.8 Unless accepted in error, once accepted, a bet will remain valid and cannot be withdrawn or changed. It is the responsibility of the Client, at the time they place the bet, to ensure details of the bet placed are correctly. The Client further agrees and acknowledges that any bets placed are subject to Unibet’s Reserved Rights in clause 8 and any other reserved rights set out in these Terms including but not limited to clauses 1.2, 2, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 17.

9.9 The Client agrees that should a dispute arise about the acceptance (or lack thereof) of any transaction in the Client's Betting Account, the log of transactions displayed in the 'Transactions' section of the Website will be the ultimate authority in deciding such matters (subject to any subsequent determination reached by the NTRC).

10 Payment Terms

10.1 At any given time, the balance of a Client's Betting Account will be either a debit balance, credit balance or nil ('Account Balance'). At any given point in time, the Account Balance is the difference between:

If the sum of the unsettled wagers and the sum of the Client deposits and winnings are equal, the Account Balance is nil.

If necessary, Unibet will issue the Client with a Notification (as defined below) in respect of the return of these funds.

10.5 Clients should check their Account Balance each time they log on to the Website or at the time they place their wager via the telephone. If a Client reasonably believes that there is an error or inconsistency in the Account Balance, it is the Client's responsibility to notify Unibet at the earliest opportunity of this and to provide Unibet with any information reasonably required by Unibet (including the Client's own record of transactions) to enable Unibet to investigate.

If their Betting Account has a debit balance, it is the Client's responsibility to immediately repay Unibet the debit balance without demand from Unibet.
     c. Unibet will refuse to accept that Client's wagers if their Account Balance, at any time, is a debit balance or if the effect of any wager would cause their Account Balance to become a debit balance

10.7 For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Client's responsibility to monitor the balance of his/her Client Betting Account and, if, for whatever reason, their Account Balance is a debit balance,  it is the Client's responsibility to ensure that the debit balance is settled in accordance with these Terms.
