Terms & Conditions

1. Nature of the website

OnlyBetsAU publishes independent informational and educational content about Australian wagering platforms, online casino game mechanics and gambling regulation. We do not accept bets, hold player funds, process deposits or withdrawals, operate games of chance, or open, verify or close gambling accounts. Nothing on this site is an offer, inducement or invitation to gamble.

2. Age restriction

Gambling in Australia is restricted to adults aged 18 years or older. This website is directed only at such adults. It is not directed at minors, and it is not directed at anyone registered with BetStop or otherwise excluded from gambling. Confirming your age on the first block is a self-declaration; providing a false declaration is a breach of these terms.

3. No affiliation with any operator

We are not owned, operated, sponsored, authorised or endorsed by OnlyBets, Onlybetting Pty Ltd (ABN 97 670 041 095) or any other wagering operator, casino, gaming supplier or regulator. Where we reproduce licence data — for example that all bets on OnlyBets are accepted on behalf of Onlybetting Pty Ltd, licensed in the State of Victoria, Australia by Racing Victoria — we do so as published by the operator, for identification and commentary only.

4. No advice and no warranty

All content is general information provided in good faith. It is not legal, financial, taxation or betting advice, and it must not be relied on as such. Product features, odds, promotions, licence details, support contacts and gambling legislation change without notice, and content may become inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for verifying anything that matters to you directly with the operator and the relevant regulator, and for obtaining your own professional advice where appropriate.

5. Compliance with Australian law

Under the Commonwealth Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA), real money interactive online casinos, online pokies and similar casino games must not be supplied to persons physically located in Australia. Licensed Australian bookmakers may lawfully offer regulated sports and race wagering only. Wagering in Victoria is additionally governed by the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 (Vic) and the responsible gambling codes administered by the VGCCC, while operations for South Australian residents are governed by the South Australian Gambling Codes of Practice. Gambling laws differ between states and territories. It is your responsibility to ensure that any gambling activity you undertake is lawful where you are located.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the site if you are under 18, or where doing so would breach the law that applies to you;
• copy, scrape or republish substantial parts of the content without written permission;
• attempt to interfere with, probe or overload the site or its infrastructure;
• misrepresent the site as a gambling operator, or as being affiliated with one;
• use the content to promote unlicensed gambling services to Australian residents.

7. Intellectual property

Original text, layout and code on this site belong to us. Third-party names, trade marks and logos remain the property of their respective owners and are referred to here for identification, reporting and commentary. If you believe material has been used incorrectly, contact [email protected] and we will review it promptly.

8. External links

We link to operator sites, regulators, legislation and support services for the reader’s convenience. We do not control those sites, we do not endorse their content, and we are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, terms or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage — direct or indirect, including gambling losses, lost profits, lost data, or any consequential loss — arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or any site linked from it, even if we were aware such loss was possible. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where liability can be limited but not excluded, our liability is limited to re-supplying the relevant information.

10. Responsible gambling

Gambling involves risk and you may lose money. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose. Think! About your choices. Set limits, take breaks, and use BetStop at betstop.gov.au if you need to exclude yourself from every licensed Australian operator. Free and confidential help is available 24/7 on 1800 858 858 and at gamblinghelponline.org.au. See our full responsible gambling guide.

11. Changes and severability

We may amend these terms at any time by publishing an updated version on this page; continued use after that constitutes acceptance. If any provision is found unenforceable, it is severed and the remaining provisions continue in force.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State.
