Monitoring and referral

Every market we run is watched for behaviour consistent with manipulation, volume arriving on an obscure proposition, staking coordinated across accounts, or money landing on a result the form does not justify. Where the pattern crosses our threshold it is referred the same day to the competition’s controlling body, to the Northern Territory Racing Commission, and where warranted to Sport Integrity Australia or the police.

Markets we decline to open

• Anything one participant could settle alone without altering the result, a nominated no-ball or the opening throw-in, for instance.
• Junior competitions, and any grade where most participants are under 18.
• Amateur competitions lacking an integrity body able to act on a referral.
• Judiciary, tribunal and stewards’ inquiry outcomes.
• Anything a controlling body has requested operators leave alone.

People who may not bet with us

Players, coaching staff, match officials, club employees, agents and anyone else accredited to a competition are barred from betting on it. That is a rule of the sports as much as a clause of ours. Identify such a wager and we void it, hand back the stake, close the account, and pass the matter on.

Non-public information

Betting on information you obtained through a position of trust and which is not public is a criminal offence across most Australian jurisdictions, not simply a contractual breach. Winnings are forfeited, the account is shut, and the file goes to law enforcement.

What we share, and with whom

Account and wagering data goes to controlling bodies and integrity units where an investigation calls for it, as set out in our privacy policy. A lawful request from a regulator or police cannot be refused, and where telling a customer they are under investigation would prejudice it, we will not tell them.

Raising something with us

Seen something that does not sit right, in a market, in a contest, or in an approach somebody made to you? Write to us marked for the Compliance Manager, or go to Sport Integrity Australia directly. Anonymous reports are accepted, and we will not name you to a club or a code without your agreement unless the law compels it.
