Protest Payout (& Racing Protests Generally)

VicBet Protest Payout will be applied when a horse on which the Customer has placed a bet is first past-the-post but is ultimately relegated due to an upheld protest or enquiry by the Racing Stewards.
In the event of an upheld protest, VicBet will pay out in respect of both the first past-the-post and the runner ultimately declared as the official winner.
VicBet Protest Payout applies to every Australian Thoroughbred and Harness race. VicBet does not offer Protest Payout on any international race in any racing code.

1. Bets on horses that are first past-the-post but later relegated as a result of a protest or other Stewards' inquiry;

For the avoidance of doubt, VicBet's Protest Payout will apply (subject to the other rules set out in this section) in respect of:
- Wagers placed in the the runner that is first past-the-post in a Harness race that is subsequently relegated owing to its galloping over the finishing line.
In the event that an official protest is upheld, any ''Run Second to the Favourite'' or similar markets/promotions being run on that race will be void.
Subject to these VicBet Wagering Rules, the amount returned to the Customer as part of a Protest Payout will be equal to the full return the Customer would have received had the horse been declared the official winner except that the maximum amount paid out to a Customer on account of a Protest Payout shall be limited to:
1. One thousand dollars ($1,000) per Customer per race; and
2. Two thousand dollars ($2,000) per Customer per day.

2. In the event that any runner other than the listed/nominated 'Favourite' is scratched after bet placement:
  - Any wagers placed on the nominated 'Favourite' will be subject to a standard Deduction calculated in accordance with the VicBet Schedule of Deductions; and
  - Any wagers placed on the 'Field' will be subject to an inverse Deduction (i.e. the dividend will increase by the amount of the Deduction) to compensate the Customer for the reduced probability of the 'Field' bet being successful.
3. VicBet may, at its discretion, agree to the cancellation or voiding of a 'Favourite v Field' wager if the Customer contacts VicBet prior to the commencement of the relevant event.

'Dead Heat' Rule (Racing)

In the event of a 'Dead Heat' (i.e. where two or more runners in an event are declared to have finished tied), unless a 'Dead Heat' was an available betting option:
1. Any 'Fixed Odds', 'Top Fluctuation','Official Starting Price' or other fixed price wagers on the tied runners will be paid out at the face value of the relevant wagering ticket divided by the number of runners involved in the Dead Heat; and
2. Any wagers on 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' products will be paid out in accordance with the dividends declared by the TABs (which will have been adjusted to account for the 'Dead Heat').
For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the 'Dead Heat Rule (Racing)':
1. Wagers on 'Top Fluctuation' and 'Official Starting Price' products are deemed to be 'Fixed Odds' wagers; and
2. Any 'Fixed Odds' component of a 'Tote-Derivative' Wagering Product such as, for example, the Official Starting Price component of a 'Best Tote + SP' wager, shall be calculated as if it were a 'Fixed Odds' wager.

'Fixed Odds' Betting

Where there are eight (8) or more runners in a given race, 'Fixed Odds (Place)' wagers (including where the place component of any fixed price 'Each-Way' bet is to be paid at the 'Fixed Odds (Place)' dividend) will be paid in respect of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placegetters.
Where there are seven (7), six (6) or five (5) runners in a given race, 'Fixed Odds (Place)' wagers (including where the place component of any fixed price 'Each-Way' bet is to be paid at the 'Fixed Odds (Place)' dividend) will be paid only in respect of the 1st and 2nd placegetters.
Where there are less than five (5) runners in a given race (including where the field is reduced as a result of late scratchings), all 'Fixed Odds (Place)' wagers (including the place component of any fixed price 'Each-Way' if said component is to be paid at the 'Fixed Odds (Place)' dividend) will be voided.

'Tote' & 'Tote-Derivative' Betting

In the event that trading in one or more of the totalisator pools is suspended or interrupted, VicBet reserves the right to (at its discretion) either:
1. Postpone the resulting of any wager contingent on any of said totalisator pools until such time as the suspension or interruption is resolved; or
2. Exclude or disregard the totalisator pool or pools that is/are suspended or interrupted, and result any contingent wagers solely on the basis of the totalisator pool or pools that have not experienced any interruption of trading. (For example, if the New South Wales Tote is experiencing an outage, VicBet may elect to:
  - Pay out successful 'Best Tote' wagers as the best of only the Victorian and Queensland totes; and/or
  - Pay out successful 'Middle Tote' wagers as the average of the Victorian and Queensland totes.
Payout Limits / Adjustments on 'Tote' & 'Tote-Derivative' Betting
1. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to a 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager in these wagering rules includes win, place and/or exotics wagers.
2. VicBet may, at its discretion, place a limit on the payout in respect of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager where:
  - Any of the Australian TABs has declared an irregular dividend relative to the Official Starting Price, the VicBet 'Fixed Odds' dividend at the time of the jump, or any of the dividends declared by the other Australian TABs; or
  - Where there is a reasonable suspicion of the totalisator pools having been manipulated.
3. In the event that one of the Australian TAB's returns an elevated dividend owing to their foregoing of their normal take out (whether for promotional reasons or otherwise), VicBet reserves the right to exclude or ignore that elevated dividend for the purposes of calculating the payout of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager.
4. If the total amount of any totalisator pool for any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' product is less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), VicBet may, at it sole and absolute discretion, disregard such totalisator pool in the calculation of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' dividend.
5. VicBet may, at its discretion, place a limit on the payout in respect of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager such that the dividend at which a Customer's wager is paid will not be more than 50% greater than (i.e. 1.5 times) the amount of the lowest of the dividends declared by the three Australian TABs and the final VicBet 'Fixed Odds' price.
6. In the event that any tote dividend is more than 50% higher than any of the Official Starting Price, the final VicBet 'Fixed Odds' price, or any of the dividends declared by the other Australian TABs, VicBet may exclude or disregard the irregular dividend for the purposes of calculating the payout of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager.
7. VicBet reserves the right to cancel any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager of a Customer where that Customer or their associates have manipulated any of the totalisator pools.
8. If, pursuant to this Clause, any tote dividend/s has/have been excluded or disregarded for the purposes of calculating the payout of any 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wager the following rules shall apply:
  - Successful 'Best Tote' wagers will be paid out on the basis of those tote dividends that have not been excluded or disregarded; and
  - Successful 'Middle Tote' wagers will be paid out as the average of those tote dividends that have not been excluded or disregarded.
9. If it is reasonably believed that any of the totalisator pools have been manipulated, all 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' wagers will be paid out as 'Middle Tote' except where all three totalisator pools have been manipulated in which event VicBet will be pay the closing fixed price dividend.
'Tote-Derivative (Place)' Betting
1. 'Tote-Derivative (Place)' dividends shall be paid in respect of any runner for which the Victorian TAB declares a place dividend.
2. Notwithstanding the dividends declared by any Australian TAB, VicBet reserves the right to apply a cap on, and downwardly adjust, any 'Tote-Based (Place)' dividend such that the 'Tote-Based (Place)' dividend of a runner does not exceed the 'Tote-Based (Win)' dividend of said runner (as declared by any of the three TABs).
3. For the avoidance of doubt, the payout limits / adjustments referred to above apply equally in respect of 'Tote (Place)' and 'Tote-Derivative (Place)' wagers.

Racing Exotics

VicBet accepts wagers on the following Racing Exotic bet types:
Quinella
A Quinella is when the Customer has predicted the two runners that placed first and second, irrespective of the specific order in which those runners finished.
Exacta
An exacta is when the Customer has predicted the two runners that placed first and second in the correct order.
Trifecta
A Trifecta is when the Customer has predicted the three runners that placed first, second and third in the correct order.
First Four
A First Four is when the Customer has predicted the four runners that placed first, second, third and fourth in the correct order.
Quadrella
A Quadrella (or 'Quaddie') is when the Customer has predicted the winners of the four races designated by the Victorian TAB as forming part of the Quadrella.
For all racing exotics, the Customer will receive the dividend declared by the Victorian TAB.
In the event of a 'jackpot':
1. If the Customer has a Unit Stake of greater than 1, the Customer will receive the dividend derived by dividing the amount of the Victorian TAB jackpot by the Customer's Unit Stake; or
2. If the Customer has a Unit Stake of less than 1, the Customer will receive the dividend derived by multiplying the amount of the Victorian TAB jackpot by the Customer's Unit Stake.
In the unlikely event that the Victorian TAB is not offering racing exotics in the location in which the Customer's exotic wager is struck, the Customer will receive the lowest of the dividends declared by the New South Wales TAB and Queensland TAB.
VicBet reserves the right to limit the total payout to a Customer in respect of a successful racing exotics wager if the total amount to be paid out to a Customer would exceed the total amount held in the relevant Victorian TAB pool. In such an event, VicBet may, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, limit the total payout to an affected Customer to the total amount held in said Victorian TAB pool.
The maximum amount that VicBet will be obliged to payout to a Customer on any single race on any exotic wager shall not exceed $20,000 on Australian Metro racing, $10,000 on Australian Non-Metro Racing and $5,000 on all Dogs/Trots and overseas racing.
For clarification purposes we use Super Tab for dividends paid and are obliged to payout no more than the Pool Size for the said dividend. Using an example a payout if $3,000 for an Exotic wager and the Pool Size is $1,400 - That is the collect amount.
Except in the case of Quadrella bets, if a runner forming part of a Customer's exotics selections is either scratched or declared a 'non-runner' after the placement of the wager, the Customer will receive a refund in respect of every combination that includes the scratched runner.
In the case of Quadrella bets, if the Customer's Quadrella selections include a runner or runners that is/are later scratched, the 'substitute' (as nominated by the Victorian TAB) will be added to the Customer's selections in place of each of the Customer's selections that have been scratched.

Deductions

A 'Deduction' is a reduction in the fixed price dividend taken by a Customer owing to one or more of the other runners in the same event being withdrawn (i.e. scratched) after the placement of the relevant wager.
A Deduction may be applied to a 'Fixed Odds' wager where:
1. The wager was placed after the declaration of the final field for the relevant event; and
2. The relevant scratching occurs after the wager was placed.
Calculation of Payouts After Deductions
1. Your payout following the application of a Deduction can be calculated as follows:
  - Stake x Odds (at time of bet placement) = Original Payout
  - Original Payout x (1 - Deduction) = Final Payout
Amount of Applicable Deduction
1. The Deduction is the percentage by which the fixed price dividend taken by the Customer will be reduced. The amount of any applicable Deductions will be displayed adjacent to the scratched runner on the race screen on any VicBet wagering channel.
2. The following table details the amount of the Deduction that will be applied to all eligible fixed price wagers (except those wagers placed on Victorian Thoroughbred Racing where Racing Victoria's Victorian Official Deductions will be applied). In the following table:
  - Column A represents the dividend of the scratched runner at the time of its scratching;
  - Column B is Deduction applicable to the Customer's 'Fixed Odds' dividend;
  - Column C is the Deduction applicable to the Customer's 'Fixed Odds (Place)' dividend in a market where 'Place' bets are being paid in respect of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placegetters;
  - Column D is the Deduction applicable to the Customer's 'Fixed Odds (Place)' dividend in a market where 'Place' bets are being paid only in respect of the 1st and 2nd placegetters.

Minimum Bet Limits (Racing)

The amount that a Customer is able to stake on any wager will be determined on a case-by-case basis by VicBet Management depending on the event on which the wager is placed and the prevailing market conditions.
VicBet will attempt to satisfy all bet requests but may, at its sole and absolute discretion, reject or partially accept certain bet requests subject to any 'Minimum Bet Limits' applicable to the relevant event.
Minimum Bet Limits
1. A number of Australian wagering control bodies prescribe 'Minimum Bet Limits' for the benefit of punters.
2. For events to which a 'Minimum Bet Limit' applies, VicBet are obliged to accept wagers in which a Customer's potential profit is below the specified threshold.
3. 'Minimum Bet Limits' apply only to Fixed Odds bets. They do not apply to bets on 'Top Fluctuation', 'Best of the Best', 'Tote' or 'Tote-Derivative' products, racing exotics, or multi-leg bets.
4. Click here to view detail of the currently prescribed 'Minimum Bet Limits'

Same-Race Multis (SRM)

Same-Race Multi bets are available on all Australian Thoroughbred and Greyhound races; and on select International Meetings. SRM bets are Multi Bets where the selections relate to a runner winning, finishing top 2, 3 or 4 in the same event. VicBet Multi Bet rules apply. SRM odds are calculated based upon the relatedness of the selections in the wager and not a multiplication of odds for each selection.
Thoroughbred SRM's are available on race day from 9am local time (post scratchings) and once fixed odds win prices are available for the race.
Greyhound SRM's are available five minutes prior to scheduled race time.
SRM bets will be voided, and stake fully refunded if one or more selections are scratched.
If a voided SRM has been placed into a multi containing other Single/s or Same Game Multi/s, the SRM leg in the multi will be voided but the remainder of the multi will stand and odds will be revised, to take into account the voided leg.
Should a SRM wager be placed where all selections are completely related contingencies, the bet will be paid out at the highest odds of any single selection. E.g. Winx to finish top 2 ($2.25) into Winx to finish top 3 ($1.95.) will be paid at $2.25.
Standard deductions will apply to SRM bets where scratching(s) occur after the bet has been placed.
In the event a field is reduced to five or less runners, any SRM bets struck prior to the reduction in field size will be void.
In the event of a dead heat in one or more SRM legs, standard Dead Heat Rules apply.
SRM bets are subject to VicBet Payout Limits outlined in Section 4 General Wagering Management.
