Betting Rules

These Betting Rules explain the general conditions that apply when you place bets or play games through Fatpirate Casino. They are intended to help Australian players understand how wagers are accepted, recorded and settled. Please read these rules together with the applicable Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information before using the website.

Fatpirate Casino operates under a Costa Rica licence. The site uses SSL encryption technology and requires identity and payment-method verification before processing withdrawals.

General betting conditions

By opening an account, depositing funds or placing a wager, you confirm that you have read and accepted the rules that apply to the relevant service. Different games, markets or promotions may have additional rules. Those rules will apply alongside these general Betting Rules and may take priority where there is an inconsistency.

You must be legally permitted to use online gambling services in your location and must provide accurate, current information when creating and maintaining an account. Fatpirate Casino may conduct age, identity, location, payment and account checks. Access may be restricted while checks are completed, and an account may be suspended or closed where information cannot be verified or where the service is not available to a player.

Only one personal account should be used unless Fatpirate Casino has expressly approved another arrangement. Accounts are for the registered account holder only. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity carried out through your account until you notify the operator of suspected unauthorised access.

You must meet the applicable minimum age requirement before placing a bet.
You must not use an account on behalf of another person or allow another person to use yours.
You must not place bets using funds that are unlawful, obtained fraudulently or belong to someone else.
You must follow all account, payment, promotional and game-specific conditions.
You must not attempt to interfere with the website, games, payment systems or security controls.

Placing and confirming bets

A bet is generally treated as placed only when it has been accepted and recorded by the relevant system. Selecting a stake, market or game does not by itself guarantee acceptance. Before confirming a wager, check the selection, stake, odds or other displayed details carefully. Once accepted, a bet may not be changed, cancelled or withdrawn unless the applicable rules specifically allow it.

The balance shown in your account may include funds that are available to wager and funds that are subject to separate conditions. You should review the balance and transaction information before placing a bet. A wager may be declined if there are insufficient available funds, an account restriction applies, the market is closed, the game is unavailable or a technical or compliance check is required.

Where odds, prices, game information or other betting details are displayed, they are provided for guidance until the bet is accepted. Prices may change before acceptance. If a displayed price or condition is clearly incorrect because of a technical, human or system error, Fatpirate Casino may correct or void the affected bet in accordance with the applicable rules and law.

Bet records

The operator's electronic records are normally used to determine whether a bet was placed, the time it was accepted, the stake involved and the result. You should keep your own confirmation details and review your account history regularly. If a confirmation does not appear, do not assume that a wager was accepted; check the account or contact support through the available website channels before placing another bet.

Results, settlement and game outcomes

Bets are settled using the official result or outcome applicable to the relevant game or market. The rules for a particular product may explain how cancelled events, postponed events, abandoned games, ties, partial results, technical interruptions and other unusual circumstances are handled. If no specific rule is available, the outcome will be determined using a fair and reasonable process consistent with the service and applicable requirements.

For casino and other randomised games, each game round is determined by the relevant game system. Previous results do not influence future results, and a particular result cannot be guaranteed by a betting pattern, strategy or timing. Any displayed outcome, balance adjustment or result may be reviewed if there is evidence of a malfunction, interruption, security issue or incorrect settlement.

A bet may be cancelled or declared void where a game, market or event is affected by a material error, system failure, fraud, interference or another circumstance covered by the applicable rules. Where a bet is voided, the treatment of the stake and any related balance adjustment will follow the relevant terms. Incorrect payments or credits may be reversed, and you agree to cooperate with reasonable checks concerning an incorrect settlement.

Check the relevant game or market rules before placing a wager.
Confirm that the bet details shown at acceptance match your intended selection.
Review the final result and settlement in your account history.
Raise a possible settlement error promptly through the available support process.

Payments, bonuses and account restrictions

Deposits and withdrawals must be made using payment methods permitted by the website and in the account holder's name, unless an alternative arrangement has been approved. Fatpirate Casino may require information or documents to verify a payment method, source of funds, identity or account activity. A transaction may be delayed, declined, reversed or held while these checks are completed.

Any bonus, promotion, free bet or promotional credit is subject to its own conditions. These may include eligibility requirements, minimum stakes, expiry dates, game restrictions, wagering requirements, maximum conversion amounts or other limitations. Promotional conditions should be read before opting in or using a promotional offer. If a promotion is used contrary to its conditions, related benefits may be removed or adjusted.

Fatpirate Casino may limit, suspend or close an account where there are concerns about identity, age, location, payment activity, responsible gambling, fraud, collusion, manipulation, prohibited conduct or a breach of these rules. Access may also be restricted where required by law or by a relevant authority. Any remaining balance will be dealt with according to the applicable Terms and Conditions and legal requirements, subject to the outcome of checks.

You must not use tools, software, devices or methods designed to gain an unfair advantage, disrupt games or bypass account controls. You must also not exploit a known error. If you notice an error, stop using the affected feature and report it through the available website support channel.

Responsible play and complaints

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager what you can afford to lose. Set personal limits for time and spending, take regular breaks and avoid gambling when upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Never chase losses by increasing stakes or continuing to play longer than planned.

If gambling is becoming difficult to control, use the responsible gambling tools and account restrictions available through the website. You can also seek independent support from an appropriate Australian gambling help service. If you believe you may be underage, or if another person is using your account, stop using the service and notify Fatpirate Casino through the available contact process.

Questions and disputes

If you believe a bet has been accepted incorrectly, settled incorrectly or affected by a technical issue, review the relevant game rules and account history first. Then raise the matter through the support or complaints channel shown on the website. Include the account information requested, the approximate date and time, the game or market, the stake and any confirmation or reference details. Do not include sensitive payment information unless it is specifically requested through a secure process.

Complaints are reviewed using the available transaction, account and system records. Fatpirate Casino may request further information before providing a response. These Betting Rules may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the service, games, law or operational requirements. The current version published on the website applies when you use the service, subject to any rules that must legally apply to an earlier transaction.
