Unauthorised use of the platform, including automated betting systems, bots, or fraudulent activity, will result in immediate account suspension and forfeiture of funds.

Liability Limitations

We provide our services on an “as is” basis and make no warranties regarding uninterrupted access or error-free operation.

General Betting Rules

All bets placed on the Casinonic platform are subject to these general regulations. You must ensure you understand the specific rules for each game or event before placing any bets. We reserve the rights to refuse or limit bets at our discretion, particularly in cases of suspected fraud or system manipulation.

Eligibility and Bet Acceptance

Bets are accepted only from registered users who have completed the verification process and meet all eligibility requirements. All bets must be placed before the advertised start time of an event. Once a bet is confirmed and a receipt is issued, it cannot be cancelled or modified. We reserve the rights to void bets placed after an event has started or if there is evidence of prior knowledge of the outcome.

Betting Limits and Restrictions

Minimum and maximum betting amounts vary by game type and event:

  • Minimum bet: AUD $0.10 to AUD $1.00, depending on the game
  • Maximum bet: AUD $10,000 per event, subject to verification and account status
  • Daily limits: May apply based on your account level and verification status

We may impose additional restrictions on users who consistently win large amounts or demonstrate patterns of advantage play. These restrictions are applied at our sole discretion to maintain platform integrity.

Win Calculations and Settlement

All winnings are calculated according to the odds displayed at the time your bet was placed. For sporting events, bets are settled based on the official result as declared by the governing body. In cases of postponement, abandonment, or cancellation, specific rules apply depending on the sport and betting market. Detailed settlement rules for each betting category are available in the respective game sections.

Bet Cancellation Policy

Bets may be voided or cancelled in the following circumstances:

  • Technical errors resulting in incorrect odds or event information
  • Evidence of fraudulent activity or collusion
  • Bets placed using bonus funds in violation of bonus terms
  • Events that are cancelled or abandoned before completion
  • System malfunctions affecting bet placement or settlement

In such cases, stakes will be returned to your account balance, but no winnings will be paid.

Anti-Money Laundering

Casinonic maintains strict anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) policies in accordance with Australian law. We are committed to preventing our platform from being used for illegal financial activities and cooperate fully with regulatory authorities.

Legal Obligations and Compliance

Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth), we are required to:

  • Verify the identity of all customers before processing transactions
  • Monitor and report suspicious transactions to AUSTRAC
  • Maintain detailed records of all financial activities
  • Implement ongoing customer due diligence procedures
  • Screen users against sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases

These obligations are not optional and apply to all users regardless of account size or activity level.

Identity Verification Procedures

Our Know Your Customer (KYC) process involves several verification stages:

Initial Verification

  • Collection of personal details during registration
  • Verification of email address and mobile number
  • Basic identity document submission

Enhanced Due Diligence

  • Triggered by large transactions, unusual activity patterns, or regulatory requirements
  • Requests for additional documentation including source of funds
  • Video verification calls in certain circumstances
  • Ongoing monitoring of account activity

You must respond to verification requests within specified timeframes. Failure to provide requested information may result in account restrictions until compliance is achieved.

Transaction Monitoring Systems

We employ automated systems to detect suspicious activity, including:

  • Unusually large deposits or withdrawals relative to normal account behaviour
  • Frequent deposits followed by immediate withdrawal requests
  • Use of multiple payment methods from different sources
  • Patterns consistent with structuring or layering transactions
  • Activity inconsistent with stated source of funds or occupation

Our compliance team reviews flagged transactions and may request additional information or documentation to verify legitimacy.

Consequences of Policy Violations

If we suspect your account is being used for money laundering or other illegal purposes, we will:

  • Immediately suspend your account and freeze all funds
  • Conduct a thorough investigation of your transaction history
  • Request comprehensive documentation of your financial activities
  • Report suspicious activity to AUSTRAC and law enforcement as required by law
  • Permanently close your account if violations are confirmed

Funds associated with illegal activity will not be returned and may be seized by authorities. We take these matters seriously and maintain a zero-tolerance policy for financial crime.

Data Security and Retention

We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. Your data is stored on secure servers with encryption and access controls. We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations, typically for a minimum of seven years after account closure as required by Australian financial regulations.

Security

Protecting your account and ensuring the integrity of our platform is a top priority. Casinonic employs multiple layers of security to safeguard your personal information, financial transactions, and gaming experience.

Technical Security Measures

We use industry-standard technology to protect your data:

Encryption Technology

  • 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
  • Secure storage of sensitive information using advanced encryption algorithms
  • Encrypted communication channels for all payment transactions
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity firms

Infrastructure Security

  • Firewalls and intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorised access
  • Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection
  • Secure data centres with physical access controls and 24/7 monitoring
  • Regular backup systems to ensure data integrity and availability
  • Separation of production and testing environments to prevent data leaks

Account Protection Features

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication on your account. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring:

  • Your password (something you know)
  • A verification code sent to your mobile device (something you have)

With 2FA enabled, unauthorised access to your account becomes significantly more difficult, even if someone obtains your password.

Secure Login Procedures

  • Password complexity requirements (minimum 8 characters, including uppercase, lowercase, and numbers)
  • Account lockout after multiple failed login attempts
  • Email and SMS notifications for login from new devices
  • Session timeouts after periods of inactivity
  • IP address monitoring to detect suspicious login patterns

Continuous Activity Monitoring

Our security team monitors platform activity around the clock to identify and respond to potential threats:

  • Real-time detection of unusual betting patterns or account behaviour
  • Automated alerts for suspicious transactions or login attempts
  • Regular reviews of account activity for signs of compromise
  • Investigation of user reports regarding security concerns
  • Immediate response protocols for confirmed security incidents

Your Security Responsibilities

Whilst we implement comprehensive security measures, you also play a vital role in protecting your account:

Best Practices:

  • Never share your login credentials with anyone
  • Use a unique, strong password that you do not use on other websites
  • Enable two-factor authentication immediately
  • Log out of your account when using shared or public devices
  • Keep your contact information up to date to receive security alerts
  • Report any suspicious activity or unauthorised access immediately
  • Avoid accessing your account over public Wi-Fi networks without a VPN
  • Keep your device’s operating system and antivirus software updated

What to Do If Your Account Is Compromised:

If you suspect unauthorised access to your account:

  1. Change your password immediately
  2. Contact our support team right away
  3. Review your transaction history for unauthorised activity
  4. Enable two-factor authentication if not already active
  5. Check your email for password reset requests you did not initiate

We will investigate all reports of compromised accounts and take appropriate action to secure your funds and personal information. You are not liable for unauthorised transactions if you report the issue promptly and have not been negligent in protecting your credentials.
