Betting Rules

General betting conditions

Cocoa Casino provides betting services subject to applicable Australian laws, regulatory requirements and the rules displayed for the relevant product. These rules apply to all bets unless a particular market, game, promotion or event has separate terms. If there is any difference between a general rule and a product-specific rule, the product-specific rule may apply to that bet.

Players must be legally permitted to use online gambling services in their location. You must provide accurate and complete information when registering and keep your account details up to date. An account must be used only by the person to whom it belongs. You must not allow another person to access your account, place bets on your behalf or use your payment method without proper authorisation.

• You must meet the applicable minimum age requirement and comply with location restrictions.
• You are responsible for checking that your account, selections, stake and odds are correct before confirming a bet.
• You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, money laundering, collusion or any other prohibited purpose.
• You must not attempt to manipulate a market, exploit a technical error or interfere with the operation of the website.
• You should keep your login information secure and contact support through the available website channels if you believe your account has been compromised.

Cocoa Casino may apply verification, security and safer gambling checks before accepting bets, processing transactions or allowing continued access to an account. These checks can include requests for identity, age, location, payment ownership or source-of-funds information. Where information cannot be verified or a legal or safety concern exists, access may be limited or suspended in accordance with the applicable terms.

Placing and accepting bets

A bet is normally submitted by selecting a market or outcome, entering a stake and confirming the bet through the website. A bet is not guaranteed to be accepted merely because it has been entered or displayed in a bet slip. Acceptance occurs only when the bet has been recorded by the betting system and a confirmation is shown in your account or betting history.

Before confirming a bet, review the event, market, selection, odds, stake and any applicable conditions. The information shown at the confirmation stage is the information that generally governs the bet. Displayed odds, prices, balances or market information may change before acceptance. If a price changes, the system may require you to confirm the revised price or may reject the bet.

1. Choose the relevant event, game, market or outcome.
2. Enter the amount you wish to stake and review the possible return where shown.
3. Check all selections and applicable rules before submitting the bet.
4. Confirm the bet and wait for the acceptance message or confirmation reference.
5. Review your account history to ensure the bet appears correctly.

Minimum and maximum stake amounts, maximum returns, market restrictions and other limits may apply. These limits can vary by product, market, account, event, jurisdiction or risk assessment. A displayed limit is not a promise that every bet will be accepted at that amount. Cocoa Casino may refuse, restrict or partially accept a bet where permitted by applicable rules.

Multiple bets, combination bets and related selections may be subject to additional conditions. Some selections may not be permitted together, and a bet may be rejected if the selections are incompatible or form a prohibited combination. Any applicable rules should be checked before confirmation.

You should not place a bet if you are unsure of the market terms or how settlement works. If a rule is unclear, review the information displayed on the relevant betting page or seek clarification before placing the bet. Placing a bet after an event has started may be restricted, and live betting information can be delayed or interrupted.

Cancellations, errors and settlement

Once accepted, a bet generally cannot be changed or cancelled by the player unless a cancellation feature is expressly made available and the relevant conditions are met. A request to cancel a bet does not take effect until it is confirmed by the system. Closing an account, logging out or disconnecting from the internet does not automatically cancel a submitted or accepted bet.

If a technical, pricing, typographical or system error affects a bet, Cocoa Casino may review the transaction and take the action permitted by the applicable rules. This may include correcting an obvious error, voiding an affected bet or settling the bet using the correct information. Where a market is materially affected by an error, the outcome may be reviewed to ensure consistent treatment.

Bets are settled using the official result or settlement information for the relevant event, game or market. Settlement may take place after the result is confirmed, and a result can be amended where the official source corrects an error or where a relevant rule requires a review. Information from unofficial sources, social media or commentary does not determine settlement.

• If an event is abandoned, postponed, delayed or materially changed, the relevant market may be voided, rescheduled or settled under its specific rules.
• If a competitor, team or participant is withdrawn, the result may depend on the market type and the time of withdrawal.
• Where a market has no valid result, the affected bet may be cancelled or voided unless a product rule states otherwise.
• Dead heats, ties, draws and shared outcomes may be settled using the applicable dead-heat or tie rules.
• If the official result changes after settlement, Cocoa Casino may adjust the settlement where required by the applicable rules.

Any returned amount is credited to the relevant player account after settlement, subject to account checks, transaction reviews and applicable terms. A displayed balance may be provisional while a result or transaction is being reviewed. Players should check their betting history and raise any suspected error promptly through the support options available on the website.

Account safety and responsible betting

Betting should be an entertainment activity, not a way to make money or recover losses. Only bet amounts you can afford to lose, set a budget before you start and take regular breaks. Do not bet when affected by alcohol, drugs, strong emotions or financial pressure. Chasing losses by increasing stakes can make gambling problems worse.

Safer gambling options

Where available, account tools may allow you to set deposit limits, spending limits, time reminders, cooling-off periods or a self-exclusion request. These tools are designed to support control over gambling and may take effect according to the instructions shown when they are selected. A limit should be set before gambling begins and should reflect your personal budget.

If you feel that gambling is becoming difficult to control, stop betting and use the responsible gambling options available through the website. You may also seek independent help from an appropriate Australian gambling support service. Friends or family members can provide support, but they should not access or use your account.

Suspicious activity and disputes

Cocoa Casino may monitor accounts and betting activity for security, integrity, responsible gambling and compliance purposes. Accounts or transactions may be reviewed where activity appears unusual, a rule may have been breached or verification is required. Restrictions can remain in place while a review is completed.

If you believe a bet has been accepted, displayed or settled incorrectly, check the bet confirmation and account history first. Provide the relevant details through the support channel available on the website, including the bet reference where one is shown, the date and time, the market and the reason for your concern. Complaints are reviewed under the applicable complaint-handling process. These rules do not limit any rights you may have under Australian consumer law or other applicable requirements.

Cocoa Casino may update these Betting Rules when services, legal requirements or operational processes change. The current version published on the website applies from the stated effective date. You should review the rules regularly, especially before placing a new type of bet or using a new betting feature.
