Betting Rules

These Betting Rules explain the general principles that apply when you place bets with Fat Pirate Casino. They are intended to help players understand how bets are accepted, recorded, settled and reviewed. Please read these rules together with the applicable Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information before using any betting service. By placing a bet, you confirm that you understand and accept the rules that apply to that bet.

Fat Pirate Casino operates under a licence issued by the regulatory authorities in Costa Rica, providing a framework for its gaming operations across international markets.

General betting conditions

Fat Pirate Casino may offer betting products, games or markets that are subject to separate rules. The rules displayed for a particular game or market form part of the conditions for that bet. If a specific market rule differs from a general rule, the specific market rule will normally apply to that market. Players should check the available information, selections, prices, minimum requirements and any relevant restrictions before confirming a wager.

You must be legally permitted to use gambling services in your location. Players in Australia are responsible for complying with all applicable Commonwealth, state and territory laws, including any restrictions that may apply to online wagering, casino products or particular types of bets. Fat Pirate Casino does not suggest that every product is available in every location. Access may be restricted where required by law, regulation, platform rules or internal controls.

You must provide accurate information when registering and using an account. An account must be used only by the person to whom it belongs. Bets placed through your account may be treated as authorised by you unless there is clear evidence of unauthorised access or a technical issue. Keep your login details secure and notify the relevant support team through the available service if you believe your account has been compromised.

Only one person may use an individual player account.
You must not place bets on behalf of another person or allow another person to use your account.
You must not use false, misleading or incomplete information.
You must not attempt to bypass location, identity, age or account controls.
You must not use the service for unlawful activity, fraud, collusion or market manipulation.
You should review every bet before submitting it, including the selection, stake, odds and total amount.

A bet is generally treated as accepted only when it has been successfully recorded by the relevant system and a confirmation or bet reference is made available. Selecting an option or entering a stake does not, by itself, guarantee acceptance. Bets may be declined, cancelled or adjusted where permitted by these rules, the relevant product rules or applicable law.

Placing and confirming bets

Before placing a bet, check that the correct game, event, market or selection has been chosen. Confirm the stake and review the displayed odds or payout information. Prices and other details may change before acceptance. The information shown at the final confirmation stage is the information you should use when deciding whether to proceed.

Once a bet has been accepted, it normally cannot be changed or withdrawn unless a specific feature or rule allows this. A request to cancel a bet is not effective until it has been confirmed by the system. If you experience a connection problem, do not assume that a bet failed or was cancelled. Check your account history before trying again, as repeated attempts may result in more than one accepted bet.

Odds, prices and stakes

Displayed odds, prices, probabilities and payout figures are provided for the relevant betting product. They may be updated before a bet is accepted. Where the system presents a choice between accepting changed odds and rejecting the change, your bet will be processed according to the option you select. The final accepted price or calculation will appear in the bet record.

Minimum and maximum stake settings may apply. Other restrictions may also apply to a market, game, account, transaction method or promotion. Any applicable restriction should be shown in the relevant account or product information. A stake that exceeds an applicable limit may be rejected, reduced or otherwise processed in accordance with the displayed rules. No player should place a stake they cannot afford to lose.

Bet records

Your account history is the primary record of accepted bets, stakes, outcomes and returns. Keep your own records where appropriate and review them regularly. If an accepted bet does not appear correctly, or if information appears inconsistent, raise the issue as soon as possible with the available support channel. Include the relevant date, product, amount and bet reference where available, but do not send unnecessary sensitive information.

Results, settlement and void bets

Bets are settled using the official result or outcome applicable to the relevant product. For events, this may be the result published by an appropriate official source. For casino or other game products, settlement may be based on the result generated and recorded by the relevant game system. A result may not be changed merely because a later announcement, appeal or unofficial source reports a different outcome, unless the applicable rules require a correction.

A bet may be voided, cancelled or settled as no action where the event, market or game is not completed, is materially changed, is offered in error or cannot be settled reliably. The treatment of a related multiple, combination or linked bet may depend on the specific product rules. If a selection is void, other valid selections may continue to apply where the rules allow.

If a game or event is abandoned, postponed, interrupted or rescheduled, settlement will follow the rules shown for that product. A new date or changed conditions may affect whether a bet remains valid. Players should not rely on assumptions about how an unusual situation will be handled. Check the relevant rules or request clarification through the available support service.

Errors and technical issues

Fat Pirate Casino may correct an obvious error in a displayed price, result, settlement, payout calculation or product description. This may include a typographical, technical, system or data error. Where a bet was accepted because of an obvious error, it may be re-settled using the correct information or voided where permitted. If a correction affects your account balance, the account may be adjusted to reflect the correct position.

If a system failure, communication problem or technical interruption prevents a bet from being properly recorded, the bet may be treated as not accepted. A displayed message, account balance or screen view may not be conclusive if system records show that the transaction was incomplete. We will review available records when investigating a reported issue.

Check your bet history and account balance after a suspected interruption.
Avoid placing the same bet again until you know whether the original bet was accepted.
Record the approximate time, product and amount involved.
Report the issue promptly using the available support channel.
Cooperate with any reasonable verification required to investigate the matter.

Payments, disputes and responsible betting

Returns, winnings and account adjustments are subject to the final settlement of the bet and the applicable account and payment rules. A payment may be delayed or restricted while identity, age, account ownership, transaction history or other compliance checks are completed. Any applicable taxes, fees or reporting obligations are the player’s responsibility unless the law states otherwise.

If you believe a bet has been recorded, settled or paid incorrectly, contact Fat Pirate Casino through the support option available on the website. Provide a clear description of the issue and relevant bet information. Complaints are reviewed using account records, system logs, published rules and other available evidence. The outcome may include confirmation of the original settlement, a correction, a void decision or a request for further information.

Disputes should be raised within a reasonable time after the relevant transaction or settlement. Waiting may make it more difficult to investigate an issue, particularly where records are limited or an event has been finalised. Nothing in these rules removes any rights you may have under applicable Australian consumer or gambling laws.

Play responsibly

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or recover losses. Set a budget before you play and never stake money needed for rent, bills, food or other essentials. Take regular breaks, avoid chasing losses and do not gamble when affected by alcohol, stress or other circumstances that may affect your judgement.

Decide in advance how much time and money you can spend.
Keep gambling separate from household or essential funds.
Do not increase stakes to recover previous losses.
Use available deposit, wagering, time-out or self-exclusion tools where appropriate.
Ask for help if gambling is causing financial, emotional or relationship problems.
Seek support from an appropriate Australian gambling-help service or health professional.

Fat Pirate Casino may apply account, product or transaction controls to meet legal, regulatory, safety or responsible gambling requirements. These controls may include refusing a bet, limiting access, suspending an account or requesting additional information. The available options and conditions may vary according to your circumstances and applicable law. Please check the current website information before betting, as these rules may be updated from time to time.
