Betting Rules

These Betting Rules explain the general conditions that apply when using the betting services available through Surge Casino. They are intended to help players understand how bets are placed, accepted, settled and managed. By opening an account or using the betting services, you agree to follow these rules, as well as the applicable Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information. Please read the rules carefully before placing a bet.

Surge Casino operates under licence ALSI-202504047-FI2 issued by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros.

General betting conditions

Surge Casino may offer betting products, games or markets from time to time. The availability of a particular product, event, market, selection or betting option may change without notice. The rules shown on the relevant betting page, together with any event-specific terms, form part of the conditions applying to that bet.

You must be legally entitled to use the services in Australia and must meet any applicable minimum age requirement. You are responsible for checking that online gambling is permitted where you are located. Surge Casino may restrict, suspend or refuse access where required by law, regulation, operational needs or responsible gambling procedures.

Only one personal account should be maintained unless Surge Casino has expressly approved another arrangement. Account details must be accurate, current and complete. You must not allow another person to use your account, place bets on your behalf or access your account credentials. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and should notify the operator promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

Bets must be placed using the betting interface provided by Surge Casino. A bet is not considered accepted merely because a request has been submitted. A bet is accepted when confirmation is displayed or otherwise provided through the service. You should check the confirmation details, including the selection, stake, odds, market and any other relevant information, before continuing.

Bets must be placed from your own account and with funds available to you.
You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, market manipulation or any form of dishonest conduct.
You must not use automated tools, bots or software designed to interfere with the service or gain an unfair advantage.
A bet may be rejected, cancelled or voided where it is placed in error, is affected by a technical issue or cannot be accepted under the applicable rules.
The operator may carry out identity, payment, security and responsible gambling checks before or after a bet is accepted.

Odds, stakes and confirmations

The odds and potential return displayed before confirmation are provided for the selected bet at that time. Prices may change until a bet is accepted. Where a price change is presented, you may be required to confirm the revised odds before the bet is placed. The accepted odds and stake shown in the bet confirmation are the details used for settlement, subject to these rules and any applicable correction.

You should retain or review your bet history after placing a bet. If the details shown in your account do not match your understanding of the bet, contact customer support through the available service channels as soon as possible. Do not place another bet to try to correct an earlier mistake unless you have checked the position carefully.

Events, markets and settlement

Each market is settled according to the official result or outcome used for that market and the relevant market rules. The method of determining a result can differ between sports, competitions, events, games and bet types. You should review the information displayed for the market before placing a bet, particularly where a market includes special conditions, qualifying requirements or a nominated settlement period.

Unless a market rule states otherwise, results are generally based on the official result declared by the relevant event authority or recognised governing body. Later amendments, appeals or changes may not affect a settlement if the market has already been settled in accordance with its rules. Where no official result is available, the market may be suspended, voided or settled using another reasonable method set out in the applicable rules.

A selection must meet the stated requirements for the bet to win.
A market may be suspended while an event is in progress, during an interruption or when information is being checked.
If an event is abandoned, postponed, rescheduled or materially changed, the applicable market rules determine whether bets stand, are carried forward or are void.
For bets involving a competitor, participant or team, a non-runner or withdrawal may affect the bet differently depending on the market type.
A dead heat, tie, draw or equal result is handled according to the rules for the relevant market.
Where a bet contains several selections, one void selection may affect the remaining bet in accordance with the applicable combination rules.

Live or in-play markets can be affected by delays in data, broadcasts and the display of information. Prices may change while an event is taking place. A bet placed after a material event may be rejected or voided if the relevant information had not yet been reflected in the displayed market. You should not rely on a broadcast or third-party source as the only basis for confirming a market status.

Errors and unusual circumstances

Occasionally, a displayed price, market description, result or account balance may contain a clear error. This can include an obvious pricing mistake, an incorrect participant, a duplicated market, a technical display problem or information that is inconsistent with the actual event. Where a clear error occurs, Surge Casino may correct the error and settle, cancel or void the affected bet in accordance with the applicable rules and law.

If a service interruption, communication failure, cyber incident or other event outside reasonable control affects betting or settlement, the operator may take steps needed to protect players and the integrity of the service. These steps may include suspending markets, delaying settlement, correcting records or cancelling affected bets where appropriate.

Payments, winnings and account reviews

Any return from a winning bet is credited subject to the accepted stake, applicable odds, market rules, account status and any required checks. A displayed balance is not necessarily final if a transaction is pending, a result is under review or an error has been identified. You should not treat an unsettled balance as guaranteed funds.

Withdrawals and other account transactions may be subject to verification, payment-method checks, anti-fraud controls, financial crime obligations and responsible gambling procedures. The payment method used may need to belong to you. Surge Casino may request documents or information to confirm identity, source of funds, ownership of a payment method or the legitimacy of account activity.

If an amount has been credited to your account in error, you must not use or withdraw it. The operator may reverse an incorrect credit or recover an amount that was paid in error. Similarly, a bet or transaction may be reviewed where there is a concern about duplicate processing, system malfunction, prohibited conduct or a breach of these rules.

Keep your personal and payment information accurate and up to date.
Use only payment methods that you are authorised to use.
Respond promptly to reasonable requests for verification information.
Review your transaction and betting history regularly.
Report suspected account compromise, incorrect settlement or unauthorised activity promptly.
Do not attempt to avoid account controls by opening additional accounts or using another person’s details.

Surge Casino may limit, suspend or close an account where this is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect the service, investigate suspected misuse, manage risk or support a responsible gambling request. Where permitted, information about the reason for an action may be provided through the usual account or support process.

Responsible betting and complaints

Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Set a budget before you play and only use money you can afford to lose. Take regular breaks, avoid betting when distressed or affected by alcohol or other substances, and keep track of the time and money you spend.

Decide your spending and time limits before placing a bet.
Never chase losses by increasing stakes or betting more often.
Do not borrow money to gamble.
Consider using available deposit, spend, session or account limits.
Use a break, timeout or self-exclusion option if betting is no longer enjoyable or feels difficult to control.
Seek independent support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.

If you are concerned about your gambling, stop betting and use the responsible gambling tools available through the service. You may also seek help from an appropriately qualified Australian support service or health professional. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a crisis, contact emergency services or an urgent support service in your area.

Queries and complaints

If you believe a bet has been accepted, settled or recorded incorrectly, review the relevant market rules and your account history, then raise the matter through the available customer support channel. Include the information needed to identify the account and bet, but do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive information.

Complaints are reviewed using the information available and may require verification before a response can be provided. Some matters may take additional time where an event result, payment, technical issue or account review is still being investigated. These Betting Rules should be read together with Surge Casino’s other published policies. If there is any inconsistency, the specific rule displayed for the relevant market or the applicable legal terms may take precedence.
