Getting started

How to bet

New to it? Here's the short version — how to set up, the bet types you'll see, and how money moves in and out. Set a deposit limit before you start.

Three steps

Up and running

Open an account

You'll need to be 18+ and a WA resident. We verify your name, date of birth and address — it's a legal requirement, not a hurdle.

Set your limit, then deposit

Choose a deposit limit during sign-up, then add funds with a card, PayID or BPAY. Only deposit what you're comfortable losing.

Find a market & bet

Pick a race or match, tap a price to add it to your slip, enter your stake and confirm. Your potential return is shown before you commit.

The basics

Bet types explained

Win & Place

A Win bet pays only if your selection finishes first. A Place bet pays if it finishes in the placings (usually top 2–3, depending on field size) — smaller return, better chance.

Each-Way

An Each-Way bet is a Win and a Place bet combined, so part of your stake is on the win and part on the place.

Fixed Odds vs Tote

Fixed Odds locks in the price when you bet. Tote (parimutuel) pays a dividend set by the final pool, so the price can move until the jump.

Multi

A Multi combines several selections into one bet. Every leg must win for it to pay — higher potential return, lower chance, so stake accordingly.

Money in & out

Deposits & withdrawals

Deposit only what you can afford. Withdrawals are paid back to your verified bank account.

Ways to deposit

Visa Mastercard PayID BPAY Bank transfer

What to expect

Card and PayID deposits usually appear straight away; BPAY and bank transfers can take 1–2 business days.
Withdrawals are reviewed for security and paid to your nominated Australian bank account, typically within 1–3 business days.
We may need to confirm your identity before a first withdrawal — have your ID ready to avoid delays.
Credit cards cannot be used for online wagering under Australian law; use a debit card, PayID, BPAY or bank transfer.
