Betting Rules

These Betting Rules explain how bets are generally placed, accepted, managed and settled at Stellar Casino. They are intended to help players understand the main conditions that apply when using betting products available on the site. Product availability, eligibility and applicable conditions may vary according to Australian law, your location, the relevant product and the specific rules displayed before you place a bet.

Stellar Casino operates under a valid gaming licence, with SSL encryption and independently certified RNGs in place to protect player accounts and ensure fair game outcomes.

1. General betting conditions

By opening an account, accessing a betting service or placing a bet with Stellar Casino, you agree to follow these Betting Rules together with the site’s general Terms and Conditions, privacy information, responsible gambling information and any rules shown for a particular market or game. If there is a conflict between these Betting Rules and a specific product rule, the specific product rule will generally apply to that product.

Betting services are provided only where they are permitted and available. You are responsible for checking that you are legally allowed to use the relevant service from your location. Access may be restricted by age, residence, location, account status, product availability or other legal and operational requirements. Stellar Casino may ask for information or documents to verify identity, age, location or the source of funds before allowing certain activity.

You must provide accurate and current account information. An account must be used only by the person to whom it is registered. You must keep your login details secure and must not allow another person to place bets or use your account. You remain responsible for activity carried out through your account unless you have promptly reported suspected unauthorised use and any relevant security issue.

You must meet the applicable minimum age requirement before using betting products.
You must not create or use more than one account unless expressly permitted by Stellar Casino.
You must not use an account for another person, on behalf of another person or for a commercial betting service.
You must not attempt to bypass location, identity, account or technical controls.
You must comply with applicable laws and any instructions provided on the site.
You should review the details of each bet before confirming it.

Changes to these rules

Stellar Casino may update these Betting Rules when required by law, regulation, product changes, security needs or operational requirements. The current version will apply to future activity from the time it is published or otherwise made available. A change will not normally alter a bet that has already been validly accepted unless the change is required to correct an error, meet a legal requirement or deal with an exceptional circumstance.

2. Placing and accepting bets

A bet is normally placed by selecting an available market, entering or confirming the stake and submitting the bet through the relevant betting interface. Before submission, check the selection, stake, odds, potential return, event or game details and any applicable conditions. Information displayed on the confirmation screen is important, but it does not replace the full rules for the relevant product.

A request to place a bet is not automatically an accepted bet. A bet is accepted only when the system confirms acceptance and records it in your account or provides another clear confirmation. If a bet is not accepted, the relevant stake should remain available in accordance with the account and payment rules. You should not assume that a bet was accepted merely because you clicked a button or saw a temporary message.

Markets, selections, odds and other betting information may change before a bet is accepted. Where the interface identifies a changed price, line, market condition or selection, you may be asked to confirm the change. If confirmation is not provided, the bet may not be accepted. Once a bet is accepted, the recorded bet details are the basis for settlement, subject to these rules and any valid correction or voiding provision.

You must have sufficient cleared funds or an otherwise approved balance method for the stake at the time the bet is placed. A bet may be refused or cancelled if funds are unavailable, a payment is reversed, an account restriction applies, a technical error occurs or the bet does not meet the requirements of the relevant product. Stakes, returns and account balances may be adjusted where a transaction has been incorrectly credited or debited.

Select the product, event, game or market you wish to use.
Review the available selection, odds, stake and relevant conditions.
Enter the stake within any displayed or applicable limits.
Confirm the bet only after checking that the information is correct.
Retain the confirmation or account record for your own reference.
Check the settlement result and report any apparent error promptly.

Bet types and special conditions

The meaning of a bet depends on the market selected. A straight bet, multiple bet, each-way-style product, in-play bet, promotional market or other product may have different requirements. Where a market has special rules, those rules may cover qualifying results, minimum participants, official starting conditions, abandoned events, dead heats, substitutions, postponements, score corrections or other relevant circumstances. Always read the market information before confirming a bet.

3. Odds, results and settlement

Displayed odds are offered for the market and selection shown at the time of acceptance. Odds may be presented in a format identified on the site. If you are unsure how a price, line, return or probability is displayed, do not place the bet until you understand it. A displayed estimate, potential return or indicative figure may change before acceptance and is not a guarantee of the final result.

Bets are settled using the official result or outcome applicable to the relevant market. The source used may depend on the product and may include an official sporting body, event organiser, governing authority, game result, approved data source or other recognised result provider. A later change to a result will normally affect settlement only where the relevant market rules expressly allow it or where correction is necessary because of an obvious error, fraud or an inaccurate result.

The result used for settlement may not be the same as a live commentary, informal report, broadcast graphic or social media update. Events can be reviewed, corrected or confirmed after the initial result is announced. Where a market depends on a particular time, score, participant, position or statistical measure, the definition in the market rules will determine the outcome.

Postponed, abandoned or changed events

If an event or game is postponed, abandoned, interrupted, rescheduled, moved, shortened or materially changed, settlement will follow the specific rules for that market. Some bets may remain valid if the required conditions are completed within the relevant period. Other bets may be voided and returned, while selections that have already been unconditionally determined may be settled. The treatment of a multiple bet may differ from the treatment of a single bet.

If a participant, team, venue, format or other key feature changes, the applicable product rules will determine whether the bet stands. A selection may be void if the change means that the original market no longer represents the event or game offered. You should not rely on general expectations about how a change will be handled; check the rules for the specific market.

Voids, errors and incorrect settlement

A bet may be declared void where the relevant market rules require it or where the bet was accepted because of an obvious technical, pricing, administrative or listing error. An obvious error may include an incorrect price, selection, handicap, result, event status or return caused by a mistake that a reasonable player could recognise. Where a bet is void, the normal outcome is that the affected stake is returned, subject to the applicable product rules.

If a bet has been settled incorrectly, Stellar Casino may correct the account record and make a corresponding adjustment. This can include reversing an incorrect credit, restoring an incorrect debit or recalculating a return using the correct market rule. If you believe a bet has been settled incorrectly, review the bet record and raise the issue through the available support or dispute process as soon as reasonably possible.

4. Live betting and technical matters

Live or in-play betting may be affected by delays between an event taking place and information appearing on the site. Prices can change quickly, and a market may be suspended while an important incident is reviewed. A bet submitted during a suspension, delay or data interruption may be rejected, accepted at a different price or treated under the applicable live betting rules.

You are responsible for checking that your device, internet connection and software are working correctly before placing a bet. Do not refresh repeatedly, submit the same bet several times or assume that an unsuccessful screen message means that no bet was recorded. Check the account history or bet record before trying again. If a bet is duplicated because of a technical issue, the records and applicable rules will be reviewed.

A market may be suspended or removed without prior notice.
Betting information may be delayed, incomplete or temporarily unavailable.
A bet may not be accepted if the connection ends before confirmation is recorded.
A technical error may result in a bet being refused, voided or corrected.
System records may be used to establish the time, content and status of a transaction.
Do not rely on a screen display alone if your account history shows different information.

Prohibited conduct

You must not interfere with the site, use automated tools without permission, exploit a software weakness, manipulate a market, use another person’s information or engage in fraudulent, deceptive or unlawful conduct. You must not attempt to obtain an unfair advantage by using confidential information, exploiting a clear error or coordinating activity in a way that breaches the rules. Stellar Casino may investigate suspicious activity and may restrict, suspend or close an account where permitted by applicable requirements.

Any review of account activity may involve checking transactions, devices, account links, betting patterns, identity information and relevant event or product data. Where an account is restricted, affected bets, funds or returns may be handled according to the Terms and Conditions, applicable law and the outcome of the review. You may be asked to provide information before activity can continue.

5. Responsible betting and help with a dispute

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover losses. Only bet with money you can afford to lose, set a budget before you begin and avoid chasing losses. Take regular breaks and do not bet when you are distressed, affected by alcohol or drugs, or trying to solve financial problems. Your account may provide responsible gambling tools or information that can help you manage your activity.

Set personal spending and time limits before you play.
Keep betting separate from essential household or living expenses.
Do not increase stakes to recover previous losses.
Do not ask another person to place bets for you or use your account.
Consider taking a break or restricting access if betting is no longer enjoyable.
Seek independent support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.

If you have a question about a bet, first check the bet record, market description, result information and these rules. If the issue remains unresolved, use the support or complaints process made available on the Stellar Casino website. Include the relevant account information, bet reference where available, date, market and a clear description of the issue. Do not send passwords or payment security details in a complaint.

Complaints are reviewed using the account record, transaction history, system information, market rules and any relevant official result. A response may explain the settlement decision, request further information or identify the next step available under the site’s complaints process. If you remain dissatisfied, follow the escalation information made available by Stellar Casino or any applicable external dispute pathway.

These Betting Rules are general information and do not cover every possible market or situation. Before placing a bet, read the specific terms shown for the product, confirm that the service is lawful and available to you, and make sure you understand the risks. By continuing to use the betting service, you acknowledge that outcomes are uncertain and that accepted bets are subject to the applicable rules.
