HOW CANWE HELP?

Find practical information about using Betfans.co, managing your account, payments, wagering and responsible gambling.

HELP TOPICS

GETTING STARTED

Everything you need to know before using Betfans.co.


  1. Creating an account

    To use Betfans.co wagering services, customers must create an account and complete the required identity and age verification. Betfans.co is available only to customers aged 18 years or older.

  2. Logging in

    Existing customers use Log In in the main navigation to access their Betfans.co account.

  3. Account verification

    Identity and age verification may be required before full account functionality becomes available.

  4. Managing your account

    Once signed in, you can manage your account details, review wagering activity and access available account and responsible gambling controls.

ACCOUNT

Your details, your log-in and what happens when you want to close the account.


  1. Updating your details

    Signed-in customers can update contact details from the account area. Changes to a name or date of birth are checked against your verification documents before they take effect.

  2. Keeping your account secure

    Use a password you do not use anywhere else and never share your log-in details. If you think somebody else has used your account, contact support straight away and we will restrict it while we look.

  3. One account per customer

    Accounts are personal. A customer may hold one account, it must be in their own name, and wagering on behalf of somebody else is not permitted.

  4. Closing your account

    You can ask us to close your account at any time. Open wagers are settled first, then any remaining balance is returned to a verified payment method in your own name.

DEPOSITS & WITHDRAWALS

How money moves in and out of a Betfans.co account.


  1. Making a deposit

    Deposits are accepted from debit cards and the other methods shown in the payment strip. Credit cards are not accepted for betting in Australia, so a credit card cannot be added to an account.

  2. Requesting a withdrawal

    Withdrawals are paid back to a verified method held in your own name. Identity verification has to be complete before a withdrawal can be processed.

  3. Processing times

    Processing starts once a request passes our checks. How long the money then takes to appear depends on your bank or payment provider, not on Betfans.co.

  4. Limits on what you deposit

    A daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit can be set at any time. Lowering a limit applies without delay; an increase is subject to a waiting period before it takes effect.

SPORTS BETTING

Markets, prices and how a sports wager is settled.


  1. Placing a wager

    Choose a market, select a price, then check the stake and the potential return in the bet slip before you confirm. Nothing is placed until you confirm it.

  2. How prices are shown

    Prices are shown as decimal odds. The potential return in the bet slip includes your stake, so a $10 wager at 2.00 shows a $20 return.

  3. Settlement and results

    Markets are settled on the official result published by the competition or governing body. Settlement can take longer when a result is under review or protest.

  4. Abandoned and voided markets

    If an event is abandoned or a market is voided, affected wagers are returned to your account balance at the price you took.

RACING

Thoroughbred, harness and greyhound wagering on Betfans.co.


  1. Meetings and jump times

    Meetings are listed by jump time across Australian and international tracks, with thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing kept in separate lists.

  2. Win and place wagering

    A win wager pays only if your runner finishes first. A place wager pays on the placings the field size allows, which is why the place price is shorter.

  3. Late scratchings

    If a runner is scratched, wagers on that runner are returned. Remaining fixed-price wagers may be adjusted by the deduction published for that race.

SHOWDOWN

A separate wagering product with its own account, balance and controls.


  1. What Showdown is

    Showdown runs alongside sports and racing as a separate product. It has its own account, its own balance and its own responsible gambling controls.

  2. Limits do not carry across

    A deposit limit set for betting does not apply to Showdown, and a limit set on Showdown does not apply to betting. Set the controls you want on each product.

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

The controls on your account, and where to find free confidential support.


  1. Setting a deposit limit

    A deposit limit caps what you can pay in over a day, a week or a month. Lowering it applies without delay; raising it waits, so the decision is never made in the moment.

  2. Taking a break

    A break closes wagering on your account for a period you choose. Open wagers stand and are settled as normal, and the account reopens only when the period ends.

  3. Self-exclusion through BetStop

    BetStop is the National Self-Exclusion Register. One registration blocks your access across every participating licensed Australian wagering provider, not only Betfans.co.

  4. Where to get support

    Gambling Help Online is free, confidential and open every hour of the day on 1800 858 858. You do not need an account or a diagnosis to call.

TECHNICAL HELP

When the site or your session is not behaving.


  1. Trouble signing in

    Check the address is typed exactly as you registered it, then use the password reset link. If the reset email does not arrive, look in the junk folder before contacting support.

  2. Pages not loading or looking wrong

    A stale cache is the usual cause. Reload the page, and if that does not fix it, clear the site data for betfans.co in your browser and sign in again.

  3. Reporting a problem

    Send us a message through Contact Us with the device, the browser and the time the problem happened. That detail is what lets support reproduce it.
