Legalities

Legal Status of Fantasy Football in Australia

Fantasy football is considered a skill-based game, distinct from gambling, and is therefore legal in most Australian states. However, there may be specific regulations and requirements that vary by jurisdiction. We encourage all players to ensure they are aware of and comply with their local laws before participating in our contests.

Jurisdictional Restrictions

• Restricted States: Due to local legislation, residents of certain Australian states may be restricted from participating in paid fantasy football contests. In such cases, residents will still be able to join free-to-play contests.
• Compliance with Local Laws: It is your responsibility to ensure that your participation complies with the laws of your specific state or region. By using our platform, you confirm that you are not located in a restricted jurisdiction and that your participation is legally permissible.

Age Requirement

Participation in any contest on our platform is limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By registering and engaging in our contests, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to verify your age and suspend or terminate your account if you are found to be underage.

Dispute Resolution

• Governing Law: These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
• Jurisdiction: Any legal actions related to these terms shall be exclusively brought in the courts of Australia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
• Arbitration: In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to attempt resolution through negotiations. If unresolved, disputes will be settled through binding arbitration under the applicable Australian Arbitration Act.
