These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to the website located at www.beforeyoubet.com.au and the content and services made available through it ("Before You Bet", "BYB", "the Website", "we", "us" or "our").

These Terms should be read together with our Disclaimer, Privacy Policy and Responsible Gambling information.

1. About Before You Bet

Before You Bet is an Australian wagering information, analysis, comparison and publishing website. We publish content relating to sports betting, horse racing, wagering operators, betting markets, odds, tips, predictions, statistics and other wagering-related topics.

Where you choose to use a wagering service featured or linked on the Website, your account and any wagering transaction are directly between you and the relevant wagering operator and are subject to that operator's own terms and conditions.

2. Eligibility and Age Restrictions

Before You Bet contains gambling-related content and is intended for adults who are legally permitted to access wagering services.

You must be at least 18 years of age to gamble in Australia. Persons under the age of 18 must not use the Website for the purpose of accessing wagering operators, offers or gambling services.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Website and any third-party wagering service complies with the laws and regulations applicable in your location.

3. Website Content and Information

Content on Before You Bet is provided for general information and entertainment purposes. It should not be treated as financial, investment or legal advice.

Tips, predictions, previews, statistics, ratings, opinions and wagering analysis do not guarantee any particular result or financial return.

Further information about the nature and limitations of our wagering content is available in our Disclaimer.

4. Third-Party Wagering Operators

Wagering operators featured or linked from Before You Bet are independent third parties. Before You Bet does not operate or control their wagering services.

This includes their odds, markets, account verification processes, deposits, withdrawals, wagering limits, bet acceptance, settlement decisions, promotions, account restrictions, account closures and customer service.

Any wager you place is a transaction between you and the relevant wagering operator. Before You Bet is not a party to that transaction.

Any dispute concerning a wagering account, wager, withdrawal, promotion or other wagering service should be raised with the relevant operator and, where appropriate, the relevant licensing or regulatory authority.

5. Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

Before You Bet is a commercial website and may receive compensation from wagering operators and other businesses featured on the Website.

Commercial arrangements may include advertising, sponsorship, fixed placement fees, referral payments, affiliate commissions or other arrangements permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

Some links on Before You Bet are affiliate or tracking links. Where permitted, we may receive compensation if a visitor follows one of these links and subsequently completes a qualifying action with the third-party operator.

Commercial relationships may influence which operators or advertisements appear on parts of the Website and their positioning.

A commercial relationship between Before You Bet and an operator does not make Before You Bet a party to any wagering transaction between you and that operator.

6. Reviews, Comparisons and Rankings

Before You Bet may publish reviews, comparisons, ratings, rankings or lists of wagering operators and wagering products.

These may consider factors such as betting markets, website and app functionality, customer service, payment options, wagering features, racing and sports coverage, pricing, odds and overall user experience.

Some operators included in reviews, comparisons or lists may have commercial relationships with Before You Bet.

Reviews and comparisons represent our editorial assessment at the time of publication and do not constitute a guarantee regarding an operator, its products, its services or its future conduct.

7. Odds, Offers and Promotions

Odds, markets, offers, promotions and other wagering information displayed on Before You Bet may change without notice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, odds displayed on the Website should be regarded as indicative rather than live prices.

You should verify current odds, markets, availability and applicable terms directly with the wagering operator before placing a wager or participating in an offer.

Where information published on Before You Bet differs from the current information or terms provided by an operator, the information and terms provided by the operator apply to your relationship with that operator.
