* their residential address (collectively, (KYC)).
4.3 You agree that the personal details which You provide to BetEstate to open an Account are true and correct, are not misleading (including by omission) and that they are Your own personal details and not the details of anyone else. You acknowledge that it is an offence under the AML/CTF Legislation to knowingly give information that is false and misleading to a reporting entity (such as BetEstate). BetEstate relies on the information that You provide being true and correct.

BetEstate also reserves the right to void any pending or resulted Bets if information supplied by You is found to be inaccurate or incomplete. A failure to comply with Identification and Verification obligations may also result in an investigation of the Account and where a reasonable basis exists, a referral to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) or another relevant authority.
4.6 Following the Member establishing an Account and/or making their first deposit into the Account, the Member accepts that We will provide that Member’s Personal Information (including KYC information) to Our choice of a third-party credit-based entity for the purposes of independent Identification and Verification Services (Third Party IDV).
4.7 Third Party IDV may involve checking the provided identification across other third-party databases and/or credit headers. Third Party IDV is an independent service, not under the control of BetEstate, and accordingly We cannot guarantee that 100% of Our Members will be successfully verified this way or the timeframes of Third Party IDV. Unfortunately, this may mean Your Identification and Verification may not be successful or could be delayed. We are not responsible for any such delay or Identification and Verification failure. We will provide only the bare minimum amount of Your Personal Information required to meet the Third Party IDV. No personal financial information of a Member is passed between BetEstate and any third-party ID verification provider.
4.8 Where Third Party IDV is unable to be completed, You may provide identification documents to Us manually for verification at this e-mail address for Our consideration (Manual IDV). [[email protected]]. Manual IDV may be subject to delay and We accept no liability or responsibility for delays associated with the Manual IDV process.

Where KYC documents are required to be provided to Us and Your current residential address is not clearly on the front or back of the provided documents, You must provide an acceptable alternate proof of Your current residential address. An acceptable proof of address may include, at Our discretion, a certified copy of one or more of the following documents (which must be dated no more than 3 months prior to the date that the Member provides the document to BetEstate):
* a rates notice of Your principal place of residence;
* a utility bill;
* a statement from a financial institution; and/or
* any other certified document which We may request if We consider it appropriate.
4.11 All documents related to Identification and Verification which You are required to provide to Us must be provided in English or they may be rejected. BetEstate may at its discretion elect to conduct further investigations into any documents provided. Further investigations may not be limited to instigating direct contact with the Member to confirm any provided documents, or its contents. BetEstate reserves its right to reject any certified KYC document provided to BetEstate. Further, BetEstate reserves the right to ask for additional information or documentation be supplied if the copies are illegible, unclear, We need further information to satisfy Ourselves of Your identity, or otherwise comply with AML/CTF Legislation. This includes from time to time, where BetEstate may request proof that all KYC documents are up to date and to produce further documents if there has been a change. Any further request made documents in these circumstances will require newly provided documents to also be certified. If You do not provide, or if BetEstate is unable to verify, such additional information, Your Account will be suspended, and You will not be able to transact or withdraw any funds until such time as Your identity has been verified.
4.12 Where a Member falsifies any KYC documents, related document or details for any purpose associated with their interactions with Us, or with opening and/or transacting on an Account, We may suspend or cancel the Account without prior notice to the Member and void any pending or resulted Bets.

We may choose to reject any form of Card Payment submitted by a Member at their discretion, in circumstances not limited to the rejection or dishonour of a card. A Card Payment must match the Member’s Account details, or otherwise be verified and a withdrawal must be to the Member. Where a Card Payment or withdrawal is Used which does not match Your Account details, or otherwise has been verified by Us, We may reject the transaction or suspend the Account until the consent, validity, or legality of the transaction is proven.
4.14 Where a Member elects to use a debit card, We may verify that card by charging a small transaction or series of micro transactions. For example, a short series of micro transactions may appear on Your online statement and/or banking records as; $0.03, $0.01 and $0.04. We would then request by return that You confirm the exact value and sequence of those transactions by way of verification. You will not be able to withdraw funds from Your Account until You have resolved any verification issues. Where You are unable to verify the debit card transactions You will not be permitted to withdraw funds held in Your Account. In any event, micro transactions will be reversed and will not be finally deducted from Your Account.
4.15 BetEstate reserves the right, at any time, to:
4.14.1 request a bank statement associated with an actual or proposed Card Payment; or
4.14.2 request You confirm the exact value of a small authorisation amount We have charged the third-party account attached to the Card Payment method; or

8.6 Where we detect or become aware of any system, method or program that is being used to exploit a variation in odds for a particular event or contingency, between two or more bookmakers, in order to guarantee a profit irrespective of the outcome of the event (Arbitrage Betting), and that system is deemed by Us to have a harmful or negative affect on Us, We reserve Our right to suspend or cancel Your Account pending an investigation into the conduct that We believe constitutes the Arbitrage Betting. This may or may not involve voiding any or all Bets made by such persons reasonably determined to be involved in Arbitrage Betting.

10.17 No Economic Transfer - The use of a Bonus Bet does not constitute the transfer of value or consideration. It is not income to the customer, nor is it a form of barter or payment. Winnings from Bonus Bets are considered separate and distinct from the Bonus Bet value itself and are treated as cash only once paid out.

RULES OF BETTING
These Racing (Thoroughbred/Harness/Greyhounds) Betting Rules and Sports Betting Rules should be read in accordance with the BetEstate Terms and Conditions. Each applies to your use of the BetEstate website and to your Account (whether over the telephone or over the internet).
RACING (THOROUGHBRED, HARNESS & GREYHOUNDS
GENERAL RULES
1. Where there are eight (8) or more runners in a race, at the time a bet is made, a place dividend shall be paid on first, second and third places.
2. Where there are seven (7), six (6) or five (5) runners in a race, at the time a bet is made, a place dividend shall be paid on first and second places only. When an Account Holder has bet on a Tote-based product, Place wagers will pay down to however many placings the major Australian TABs determine as appropriate for that bet type. Major Australian TABs shall be defined as the Victorian TAB (STAB), the NSW TAB, the Queensland TAB (UTAB).
3. Where there are less than five (5) runners in a race, all wagers shall be “Win Only”. If late scratchings force this down, all non-tote place bets will be refunded if there is no possibility for a collect.
4. If a runner is scratched, all bets placed after the declaration of the final field will be refunded on that runner (providing the bet wasn’t placed on an “All-In” basis). All other runners will be subject to a deduction, applicable to the face value of winning bets where the bet was placed at a fixed price either Win, Each Way, or Place Only.
5. Without limiting any other rights it may have in these Rules, BetEstate may place a limit on the payout (final odds) where there is reasonable suspicion of pool manipulation having occurred (eg. Payout no greater than 100% higher than the next best Australian tote), subject to adjudication by the relevant totalisator operator(s) or race controlling body.
6. If a tote pool goes down either on-line or via telephone and the pools are distorted as a result, then BetEstate reserves the right to omit these dividends when paying out. For example, if the NSW Tote pool is unavailable for any reason (or dividends are distorted as a result of an outage), the best of QLD and NSW will be paid for Best Tote Products.
7. In the event that one of the Major Australian TABs for promotional reasons or otherwise, returns elevated dividends due to them foregoing or varying their normal take-out margin, BetEstate reserves the right to declare its Best Tote dividends at the higher of the other two Australian Totes. If all three Major Australian TABs do so, BetEstate reserves the right to pay the Official Starting Price for the selection.
8. If a meeting is abandoned or postponed to another date, single bets are void and wagers will be refunded. Affected Multi-Bets will be recalculated excluding that leg.
9. Regardless of whether a “Futures event (All-in betting)” has been abandoned, postponed, or transferred from the original date, all bets stand until the completion of the event.
10. BetEstate reserves the right to cancel any bet where BetEstate considers the bet is unfairly advantaged in regard to starting times of events.
11. Dead Heat Rule – In the event of a Dead Heat or Draw, where such an option was not offered for betting purposes, the ticket will be paid out at face value divided by the number of Dead Heating winners of the event. If the bet was placed at the tote product, the ticket will be paid out on the re-framed Tote dividends.
12. At the discretion of BetEstate management, Tote pools of underAUD$500 may be disregarded in the calculation of Best Tote and Middle Tote dividends.
13. BetEstate reserves the right to restrict the maximum dividend paid out for Win and Place bets to:
* AUD$1000 for Thoroughbred Races
* AUD$500 for Harness and Greyhound Races
14. BetEstate will cap the place dividend for all racing (thoroughbred, harness and greyhounds) to not exceed the win dividend for any selection.
15. If for any reason, including, without limitation if BetEstate experiences a system malfunction or if there is human error, betting is not closed at the actual start of a race or event, any bet sold or accepted after the actual start of a race or event may be voided by BetEstate in its absolute discretion. Subject to any other requirement in these Rules, where an Account Holder’s bet is voided, the Account Holder’s bet will be refunded. No dividend will be payable to the Account Holder.

EXOTICS
1. All BetEstate Racing exotics are paid on winning combinations at the dividend declared by the Victorian TAB (STAB) (referred to hereon out as the dividend’)
2. In the event of a jackpot, winning combinations will be paid out an amount equal to the Victorian TAB Jackpot.
3. BetEstate reserves the right to limit the total payout to any individual(s) on any exotic bet type to an amount specified to the Account Holder. If the total BetEstate payout on any bet type exceeds the Victorian TAB exotic pool volume, BetEstate reserves the right to limit the total payout to Account Holder to the amount of the middle dividend Victorian TAB exotic pool volume on that particular exotic bet type.
4. In the event of a Dead Heat for any of the place getters, the dividend for each winning combination will be calculated as the Victorian TAB.
5. Flexi Betting allows Account Holders to take a Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four or Quadrella at an outlay to suit the Account Holder’s own budget. This way an Account Holder can have multiple selections for a smaller outlay by making selections and nominating the total amount the Account Holder wishes to spend on a bet. The Account Holder’s bet will cost whatever the Account Holder chooses and if the Account Holder wins then the Account Holder will receive a percentage of the full AUD$1 middle dividend. For example, an Account Holder wishes to box five runners in a Trifecta. This bet would normally cost AUD$60 for a AUD$1 unit. If the Account Holder decides to spend AUD$15, this is all the bet will cost. AUD$15 represents 25% of a fullAUD$1 unit (total cost ofAUD$60), meaning if successful, the Account Holder will receive 25% of the full AUD$1 middle Trifecta dividend. Thus, if the winning Trifecta dividend is AUD$200 for AUD$1, the Account Holder will collect AUD$50.
6. BetEstate operates on the following Exotics:
− Quinella – A Quinella is when two runners are selected to place first and second in any order. If a
selected runner is declared a “non-runner” or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner, and the combination stands, and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.
* Exacta – An Exacta is when two runners are selected to place first and second in the correct order.
If a selected runner is declared a “non-runner” or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner, and the combination stands, and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner
* Trifecta – A Trifecta is when three runners are selected to place first, second and third in the
correct order. If a selected runner is declared a “non-runner” or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner, and the combination stands, and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.
* First Four – A First Four is when four runners are selected to place first, second, third and fourth
in the correct order. If a selected runner is declared a “non-runner” or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner, and the combination stands, and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.
* Quaddrella – A Quadrella is when the winners are selected in four consecutive races listed on the Quaddie Race card. If a selected runner is scratched or declared a “non-runner” after the wager is confirmed, that portion of the wager will be transferred to the substitute favourite as declared by S-TAB.

(a) Wagers are determined on the result at the end of normal time. Normal time includes any stoppage time added by the referee. Extra time and any penalty shootout will not count in determining the final result of any match where a draw price is quoted. The only exceptions are for matches that are scheduled for a lesser duration (e.g. 60, 70 or 80) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are competing or agreed by both sides prior to kick-off. In such cases, all bets will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time added on by the referee for stoppages. In circumstances where over 90% of the scheduled match time has been completed and the referee ends the match before the allotted time has elapsed then we will use that result for the settlement of all bets placed on the game. For matches where abandonment occurs before 90% of the match has been completed then all markets are void unless their result has already been decided before match was abandoned. If the abandoned match is continued from the point of abandonment and completed before the end of the next calendar day then all bets on the match will stand. If the abandoned match is started again from kick-off at the start of the first half and completed before the end of the next calendar day then all pre-match bets on the original fixture will stand and all in-play bets on the original fixture will be voided unless the result was already decided before the original abandonment. Where a bet is accepted on a match where no prices are on offer then that selection will be treated as a non-runner, but the remainder of any accumulative bet will stand provided there are not fewer than the stipulated minimum number of matches in the bet. Settlement will be at the price prevailing at the time the bet was placed and confirmed.
(b) Dates and kick-off times of matches shown on our website are for guidance purposes only. Bets will be accepted up until the advertised kick-off time.

(m) Ante-post Bets : For ante-post bets, divisional play-offs do not count for the purposes of divisional each-way betting, ie. bets are settled on final league placings before play-offs. Any subsequent demotions/points deductions after the last game of the season on the basis of 'all-in play or.' Abandoned, postponed, venue changed or unplayed matches.
(n) Unplayed or postponed matches that are not completed before the end of the next calendar day (local time in the country the match is being played) after the official kick-off time will be treated as a non-runner for settling purposes. If the venue of a match is other than is indicated on our website, the bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's ground, in which case the match will be declared void.
(o) When an abandoned match reduces the Account Holder’s bet to below the permitted minimum for a list the bet will stand, with the void match treated as non-runners for settling purposes. This ruling does not apply to bets involving first goalscorer which will stand provided a goal has been scored prior to abandonment. Bets on last goalscorer will be void in the event of abandonment.
(p) First/Last goalscorer: Own goals do not count for settlement of first/last goalscorer bets. Bets taken on first/last goalscorer will be void if that player does not take part in the game or if he comes on after the first goal is scored.

In the event of a dispute over the award of a goal for first/last goalscorer or scorer special purposes, settlement will be in accordance with the result given by Opta Index within 48 hours of the final whistle. Any subsequent changes to the result will be ignored for settlement purposes
(r) Each-way first goalscorer betting: Each-way bets will be settled on first goal, second goal, third goal, fourth goal and fifth goal only. Players who do not score until after the fifth goal has been scored will be treated as losing selections. If less than five goals are scored in any given match BetEstate will settle bets on those goals that are scored. If no goals are scored, all each-way bets will be regarded as losing bets. If a player enters the field of play after the first goal is scored, both the win and place part of the bet will be voided unless the first goal is an own goal in which case bets will stand. If a player is sent off or substituted before the first goal is scored, bets on that selection are deemed as losers. If a player scores the first goal of the match, both his win and place part are winners. If a player scores the second, third, fourth or fifth goal, only his place part is a winner. A player cannot be placed twice i.e. if he scores the second and third goal, only the second goal is deemed a winner.
(s) Each-way bets on no goalscorer, last goalscorer, first team goalscorers and scorecasts are not accepted. If any such bets are taken in error then the full stake will be invested as a win only bet. Place-only betting is not accepted. Extra time does not count. Own goals do not count. In cases where an own goal is one of the first five goals then the sixth goal will be settled as a winner on the place part of the each-way bet. If two of the first five goals are own goals then the sixth and seventh goals will be settled as winners on the place part of the each-way bet, etc. In all other cases BetEstate football rules apply.

If no award is made during the live broadcast the result will be settled on the player who is listed as the man of the match in the match report on skysports.com. If the result on skysports.com is different from the result of the Sky live broadcast then the markets will be settled on the result from the live broadcast. For live Premier League games on BT Sports Man of the match bets will also be settled in accordance to who the broadcaster names during the programme. In the case of BT games, if no player is named during the programme then all bets will be voided. The player must be specifically named as the man of the match and not just simply referred to as the man of the match by one of the pundits. For matches in other competitions that are broadcast live on Sky Sports as well another channel, preference for settlement will be given to Sky Sports unless Paddy Power have specifically outlined in the naming of the market that the result will be settled on the official tournament or sponsor award. Any player who takes the field for any part of a match will be considered as a runner for settlement purposes. Only players not in the squad or unused substitutes will be considered non-runners.

Bets on special spreads are only accepted on games for which we advertise them.Bets on number of goals include own goals. Bookings of managers, coaches or players who are yet to participate in the game (ie. substitutes) do not count. In the event of an abandoned match all bets on special spreads will be void unless the maximum quote has been obtained.

(hh) Asian handicaps: An Asian handicap is a market where a handicap is applied to the match in order to make the prices more equal. The favourite in a match will have a negative handicap represented with a (-) symbol and will have to win by more goals than the handicap in order to be a winner. The outsider in the match will receive a positive handicap represented with a (+) symbol which will be added to the final score. The handicap will be added to one side only. Half-time Asian handicap markets will be settled on the half-time result. There are three types of Asian handicap:
(ii) Whole ball handicap (e.g. Team A -0, Team A -1.0, Team A -2.0.) The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner. If the number of goals for each team are level after the handicap has been applied, it will result in a push with the stake being returned. Example: Team A -2.0, Team B +2.0 If Team A win by three or more goals then all bets on Team A will be winners and bets on Team B will be losers. If Team A win by exactly two goals then all bets on the market will be pushed and the bet stake returned on both sides . If Team A win by exactly one goal, the match ends in a draw or Team B win the match then all bets on Team B will be winners and bets on Team A will be losers.
(jj) Half ball handicaps (e.g. Team A -0.5, Team A -1.5, Team A -2.5) The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner. Example: Team A -1.5, Team B +1.5 If Team A win by two or more goals then all bets on Team A will be winners and bets on Team B will be losers. If Team A win by exactly one goal, the match ends in a draw or Team B win the match then all bets on Team B will be winners and bets on Team A will be losers.
(kk) Split ball handicaps (e.g. Team A -0 & -0.5, Team A -0.5 & -1.0, Team A -1.0 & -1.5) A split ball handicap is where the level of favouritism is between a half ball and a whole ball. In this case, your stake is being split equally between the whole ball and half ball handicaps. Example: Team A -1.0 & -1.5, Team B +1.0 & +1.5 If you place a AUD$100 bet on Team A -1.0 & -1.5 then your bet is split into two AUD$50 bets. The first bet is on the Whole Ball Handicap (Team A -1.0) and the second bet is on the Half Ball Handicap (Team A -1.5) If Team A win by two or more goals then all bets on Team A will be winners and bets on Team B will be losers. If Team A Win by exactly one goal then the stake on Team A -1.0 will be refunded and the stake on Team A -1.5 will be a loser. The stake on Team B +1.0 will be refunded and the stake on Team B +1.5 will be a winner. If the match ends in a draw or Team B win the match then all bets on Team B will be winners and bets on Team A will be losers.
(ll) Alternative Handicap (e.g. Team A - 2, Handicap Draw -2, Team B +2) The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner. Handicap draw is also an option in the alternative handicap markets meaning if the game is a draw after the handicap is applied, then this is the winning selection. Example: Team A -2, Handicap Draw -2, Team B +2. If Team A wins by exactly 2 goals, then Handicap Draw is the winning selection as after the handicap is applied the match has ended in a draw.
