For events to which a "Minimum Bet Limit" applies,GoldBet 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 May 2026) are set out below:
