What is Betiquette?

Betiquette is all about using a bit of good old-fashioned etiquette when betting.

It’s all about staying in control when betting and avoiding risky gambling that could land you in hot water. Using a bit of Betiquette can save you from a sticky situation or from your gambling getting out of hand.

Top 10 tips for showing Betiquette

Here are the top tips for staying in control when betting.

Tip 1 – Set a cash limit:

Set a cash limit on your betting app and stick to it.
Never dip into your Cruzin Croatia account  - or that ship might sale without you.

Tip 2 – Don't be distracted:

Switch off those pesky mosquito-like bonus bet alerts and offers. Stay on track and don’t be tempted.

 
 

Tip 3 –Bet with what you can afford:

Only bet with what you have. 
Never borrow money from a mate for a bet, not matter how attractive the filly.

Tip 4 – Don’t be pressured:

Never feel intimidated by the size of your mate’s bet.
Bigger isn’t always better.

Tip 5 – Stay under your limit:

Don’t go over your cash limit while you are over the limit. Know when you are too piddled to punt to avoid waking up with bet regret.

Tip 6 – Know when to fold them:

Know when to call it a night, don’t chase your losses.
Bid your mates farewell. The only thing you should be chasing after a night of revelry is an intimate conversation, with a kebab!

Tip 7 – Be in the moment:

As a betting bloke, you’re always looking to increase your chances of getting lucky, which is why you should always pay attention to your date - not your multi. Get your head out of your digital app and take some time out, in the analogue world!

Tip 8 – Know your bet:

Only bet on what you know.  Punting on silly sports or the
colour of politician’s tie is no way to bet.  And try to wrap your head around those tricky T’s & C’s bouncing around.
They are sure to catch you out.

 

 
 

Tip 9 – Leave your cards at home:

When heading to the pub for punt, try only taking the cash that you can afford to lose.
Who wants to pay those extra interest charges when using a credit card to gamble?  (You did know betting with a credit card is charged as a cash advance, right?)

Tip 10 – Australia is a safer bet:

Never punt with some exotic bookie abroad.
If you’re up for a punt, bet with a bookie licensed in Australia. Because when an Aussie bookie bamboozles an Aussie bloke, the likes of the ACCC and gaming regulators can intervene and help save your bacon.
