Minimum Bet Limits (Racing)
A number of Australian wagering control bodies prescribe 'Minimum Bet Limits' for the benefit of punters.
For events to which a 'Minimum Bet Limit' applies, BetBetBet are obliged to accept wagers in which a Customer's potential profit is below the specified threshold.
'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.
The currently prescribed 'Minimum Bet Limits' (as at February 2022) are set out below:
