Betting Rules

These Betting Rules explain the general terms that apply when you use the betting services available through Cobber Casino. They are intended to help you understand how bets are placed, accepted, settled and managed. You should read these rules together with the applicable Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information before placing a bet.

Cobber Casino operates under a licence from the Autonomous Organisation for Financial Authorities of Comoros (AOFA), reference ALSI-202508056-FI2, and a licence from the Tobique Gaming Commission, licence No. 0000002.

General betting provisions

By placing a bet, you confirm that you have read and accepted the rules that apply to the relevant betting product, game or event. You are responsible for checking the details of your bet before confirming it. This includes the selection, market, stake, odds, potential return and any other information shown on the bet confirmation screen.

A bet is generally treated as accepted only when it has been recorded by the Cobber Casino betting system and a confirmation is displayed or otherwise made available in your account. Entering information or submitting a bet request does not, by itself, guarantee acceptance. Bets may be rejected, delayed, suspended or cancelled where permitted by the applicable rules.

You must use your own account when placing bets and must keep your login details secure. You must not allow another person to access or use your account. Account holders are responsible for activity carried out through their account unless they have promptly reported unauthorised access and the matter is accepted following review.

You must meet all applicable age, identity and location requirements before using the betting service.
You must provide accurate, current and complete information when opening and maintaining an account.
You must not place bets for another person, use another person’s account or try to avoid account controls.
You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, collusion, market manipulation or any other prohibited conduct.
You should review your account history and report any suspected error or unauthorised transaction as soon as possible.

Cobber Casino may apply account, product, payment or transaction controls where required by law, by responsible gambling procedures or by its internal rules. These controls may include refusing a bet, restricting access, suspending an account or requesting additional information.

Placing and confirming bets

Before confirming a bet, check that the selected market and stake are correct. Once a bet has been accepted, it may not be changed, withdrawn or cancelled unless the relevant rules expressly allow it. A request to place a bet is not a guarantee that the bet will be accepted at the displayed price or within a particular period.

Displayed odds, prices, lines, game information and event details may change before a bet is accepted. The odds or terms applying to an accepted bet will normally be shown in the confirmation and account history. If a technical or obvious error affects the display or acceptance of a bet, the bet may be reviewed and corrected or voided in accordance with the applicable rules.

Stake and balance requirements

You must have sufficient cleared funds or available betting credit for the selected stake at the time a bet is placed. A bet may be declined if the required funds are not available, if a transaction is reversed or if a payment method cannot be verified. Deposits or account balances may be subject to verification before they can be used or withdrawn.

Bet confirmation and records

After placing a bet, you should check your account history or bet slip to confirm whether it was accepted. Keep a record of the bet reference, selection, stake and displayed odds where possible. If a bet does not appear correctly, avoid placing the same bet again until you have checked its status or sought clarification through the available support channel.

System records may be used to determine whether a bet was submitted, accepted, amended, settled or cancelled. Where there is a discrepancy between a personal record and the official system record, the official record will generally be reviewed, subject to applicable law and any investigation into a system error.

Events, markets and settlement

Bets are settled using the official result or outcome recognised for the relevant event or market. The settlement method can depend on the sport, competition, game, market type and information available from the relevant governing body or official source. If an event is abandoned, postponed, interrupted or materially changed, special rules may apply.

Where a market has more than one possible result, the result must be determined in accordance with the description shown for that market. You should read market names, selection descriptions and any displayed conditions carefully. A result may differ from what appears in media reports if the market uses a specific definition, time period or official source.

A postponed or abandoned event may be treated differently depending on when it is rescheduled and the rules for that market.
If an event is cancelled or does not take place, affected bets may be voided unless a specific rule provides another outcome.
If a participant, team or selection is withdrawn, non-starter rules may apply to the relevant bet type.
Dead heats, ties, draws and equal results may be settled under the dead-heat or tie provisions for the market.
Where a market is declared void, the relevant stake may be returned, subject to the applicable rules.
A result may be corrected if the original result was officially changed or a settlement error is identified.

A bet may be settled before every aspect of an event is complete where the market rules permit early settlement. Conversely, settlement may be delayed while an official result, investigation or review is pending. Processing time does not change the outcome determined under the applicable rules.

Errors and irregularities

If an obvious pricing, description, result or settlement error occurs, Cobber Casino may correct the error or void an affected bet where permitted. This can include an error caused by technical failure, incorrect data, a wrongly displayed market or an incorrect application of the rules. Any review should be carried out fairly and consistently with the applicable Terms and Conditions.

Cancellations, disputes and account reviews

Bets cannot normally be cancelled simply because you have changed your mind or no longer want to accept the outcome. Cancellation or voiding may be available where required by law, where a market rule applies, where an event cannot be properly settled or where an operational or technical issue affects the bet.

If you believe a bet has been accepted, displayed or settled incorrectly, check the bet details first and raise the issue through the available support process. Include the relevant bet reference, the date and time, the market or game involved and a clear explanation of the concern. Do not provide passwords or other sensitive security information in an unnecessary message.

Cobber Casino may review betting activity, account information and transactions to protect customers, maintain service integrity and meet legal or regulatory obligations. A review may involve requests for identity, source of funds, payment ownership or other information. Accounts or transactions may be restricted while a review is taking place, where this is permitted.

Where a dispute cannot be resolved through the initial review process, further complaint or dispute options may be available under the applicable Terms and Conditions or relevant Australian requirements. You should follow the stated process and provide accurate information so the matter can be assessed.

Responsible betting

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover losses. Set a budget before you play and never stake money needed for everyday expenses. Consider using available deposit, time or betting limits, and take regular breaks. Do not bet when affected by alcohol, drugs, stress or strong emotions.

Only bet with money you can afford to lose.
Keep track of how much time and money you spend.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes to try to recover money.
Use account controls or take a break if betting is becoming difficult to manage.
Seek independent support if gambling is causing financial, personal or emotional harm.

Changes to these rules

These Betting Rules may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to products, systems, legal requirements or operating procedures. The current version will apply to new bets from the time it is published or otherwise made available, unless a different effective date is stated. Rules that applied when an earlier bet was accepted may continue to govern that bet where appropriate.

You should review this page regularly, particularly before using a new betting product or placing a bet on an unfamiliar market. If you do not understand a rule, do not place the bet until you have obtained clarification through the available support options.

If any provision of these rules is inconsistent with applicable Australian law, the legal requirement will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
