Important information about Before You Bet
Before You Bet provides wagering information, analysis and commentary. We are not a bookmaker and do not accept bets. Betting involves financial risk, and no tip, prediction, rating or analysis published on this website guarantees a winning bet or profit.
This Disclaimer applies to the website located at www.beforeyoubet.com.au ("Before You Bet", "BYB", "the Website", "we", "us" or "our").
This Disclaimer should be read together with our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information.
1. About Before You Bet
Before You Bet (BYB) is an independent Australian wagering information website providing betting tips, wagering analysis, bookmaker reviews and comparisons, odds and market information, racing analysis, betting guides and wagering industry news.
Before You Bet is not a bookmaker or wagering service provider.
We do not accept bets, operate wagering accounts, receive wagering deposits, hold customer funds, determine or settle bets, or place bets on behalf of users.
Any decision to open a wagering account or place a bet is made by the user directly with the relevant wagering operator and is subject to that operator's own terms and conditions.
2. Dedicated Wagering Online Content Service
Before You Bet is a wagering-focused online content service. The principal purpose of the Website and its editorial content is to provide information, analysis and commentary relating to wagering services, betting markets and the Australian wagering industry.
Our Wagering-Focused Content
Under section 62E of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, an online content service is taken to be dedicated to wagering where the content provided on that service wholly or principally relates to wagering services.
Before You Bet considers that the content provided on this Website principally relates to wagering services and that Before You Bet therefore satisfies the definition of a dedicated wagering online content service under section 62E.
Accordingly, Before You Bet relies on the exceptions applicable to dedicated wagering online content services contained in sections 62P and 62Q of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 in relation to wagering advertising provided on this Website.
Before You Bet regularly reviews its content and advertising practices in light of applicable Australian wagering laws, regulations and regulatory requirements.
All betting tips, predictions, previews, ratings, statistics, opinions and other wagering analysis published by Before You Bet are provided for general information and entertainment purposes only.
Betting involves risk and there is no guarantee that any tip, prediction, strategy, model or opinion published on the Website will result in a winning bet or profit.
Users remain solely responsible for their own wagering decisions.
Odds, markets, prices, team information, race fields, scratchings and other wagering information may change after publication.
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure information is accurate at the time of publication, Before You Bet does not guarantee that odds, markets, offers or other information displayed on the Website will remain current or error-free.
Users should independently verify information with the relevant wagering operator or other appropriate source before placing a bet.
4. Advertising and Affiliate Relationships
Before You Bet is a commercial website and has commercial relationships with a number of Australian wagering operators and other businesses.
Some links to wagering operators on the Website are affiliate or tracking links. Where permitted under applicable laws and regulations, Before You Bet may receive a commission, referral payment, advertising fee or other commercial benefit in connection with these relationships.
These commercial relationships help support the operation of Before You Bet and the production of our content.
Commercial arrangements may influence which operators or advertisements appear on parts of the Website and their positioning.
However, the existence of a commercial relationship does not guarantee a positive review or recommendation. We aim to provide useful and accurate information about wagering operators featured on the Website.
5. Third-Party Wagering Operators
Before You Bet does not control third-party wagering operators or their websites, apps or services.
We are not responsible for their wagering markets, odds, account decisions, identity verification, deposits, withdrawals, payment processes, betting limits, account restrictions, settlement decisions, terms and conditions, customer service or availability.
A wagering transaction is between the user and the relevant wagering operator. Before You Bet is not a party to that transaction.
Users should read the applicable terms and conditions directly with the wagering operator before opening an account, participating in an offer or placing a bet.
6. Eligibility and Third-Party Offers
Wagering products, markets, promotions and offers may be subject to eligibility requirements and may not be available to every user or in every Australian state or territory.
Before You Bet does not determine whether an individual is eligible to participate in a particular wagering product or offer.
Users should confirm their eligibility, the availability of the product or offer and all applicable terms directly with the relevant wagering operator.
7. Historical Content
Before You Bet maintains a substantial archive of wagering articles, betting previews, bookmaker information, racing content and other editorial material.
Historical articles may contain odds, markets, promotions, wagering products, bookmaker information, rules, legislation or other information that has subsequently changed or is no longer available.
The publication date of an article should be considered when assessing whether information remains current.
Before You Bet is not required to retrospectively update every historical article when markets, products, operators, laws or other circumstances change.
8. 18+ and Responsible Gambling
Before You Bet contains wagering information and advertising intended for adults aged 18 years and over.
Gambling involves financial risk. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and do not view wagering as a reliable way to make money.
Before You Bet provides a dedicated Responsible Gambling page containing information about safer gambling, support services, BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register, and other resources available to Australians.

Free and confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. Australians can also use BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register – to exclude themselves from licensed Australian online and telephone wagering services.
