Our services are regulated under a framework that includes, but is not limited to:

• The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) ("IGA").
• The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) ("AML/CTF Act").

Eligibility and Jurisdiction

2.1. Minimum Age

You must be at least 18 years of age to access our website, open an account, or engage in any form of real-money wagering. It is a criminal offense in Australia for a minor to participate in gambling activities, or for an operator to knowingly permit a minor to gamble. We reserve the right to request proof of age at any stage, and your account will be immediately suspended if valid identification is not provided upon request.

2.2. Residential Restrictions

Services offered on this website are strictly intended for residents of Australia where interactive wagering is legally permissible. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of our services is lawful within your specific state or territory of residence. Residents of jurisdictions where interactive real-money gambling is prohibited by law must not register an account.

2.3. Prohibited Persons

You are strictly prohibited from opening an account or using our services if:

• You are under 18 years of age.
• You are listed on the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop).
• You have been previously barred or self-excluded from our platform or any affiliated platforms.
• You are an employee, contractor, or immediate family member of an employee or contractor of Venus55.
• You are acting on behalf of a third party or utilizing funds that do not belong to you.

Account Registration, Maintenance, and Security

3.1. Single Account Policy

Each player is permitted to open and maintain only one (1) account with Venus55. The registration of multiple accounts (duplicate accounts) by the same individual is strictly prohibited. If we discover or suspect that you have registered multiple accounts, we reserve the right to merge, suspend, or terminate all associated accounts, invalidate any wagers placed, void all accumulated bonuses, and withhold any winnings derived from duplicate account activity.

3.2. Accuracy of Information

When creating an account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete personal information, including but not limited to your full legal name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. You are legally required to keep this information updated at all times.

3.3. Account Security and Confidentiality

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your username, password, and any two-factor authentication methods. You must not disclose these credentials to any third party. Any actions, wagers, deposits, or withdrawals performed using your account credentials will be deemed to have been executed by you, and you will be held solely liable for any financial or legal consequences resulting from unauthorized access caused by your negligence.

3.4. Account Transfer and Inter-Account Transactions

Your Venus55 account is personal to you. You are strictly prohibited from selling, transferring, leasing, or assigning your account to any other person. Furthermore, you must not transfer, trade, or gift funds, balances, or loyalty points between different player accounts on the platform.

3.5. Dormant and Inactive Accounts

An account that has not recorded any login, logout, deposit, or wagering activity for a continuous period of twelve (12) consecutive months will be classified as an "Inactive Account."

• We will attempt to notify you via your registered email address at least thirty (30) days prior to your account becoming inactive.
• If the account remains inactive and contains a positive balance, we reserve the right to deduct a monthly administrative maintenance fee of $10 AUD (or the remaining balance if less than $10 AUD) from your account balance until the balance reaches zero or the account becomes active again.
• Once the balance reaches zero, the inactive account may be closed permanently.

Deposits, Withdrawals, and Financial Terms

4.1. Currency

All financial transactions on Venus55, including deposits, withdrawals, wagers, and balances, are denominated, calculated, and processed in Australian Dollars ($ AUD) unless explicitly stated otherwise.

4.2. Approved Payment Methods

Deposits can only be made using payment methods explicitly approved by Venus55 and legally authorized under Australian financial regulations. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard).
• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) / Direct Bank.

• Other authorized digital payment systems compliant with local laws.

4.3. Absolute Prohibition of Credit Cards

In compliance with Australian federal laws and interactive gambling amendments designed to reduce gambling harm, Venus55 does not accept credit cards or credit-linked payment instruments for funding wagering accounts. Any attempt to use a credit card, or a digital wallet funded directly by a credit card, will be rejected automatically. You must only utilize source funds derived from cash deposits or debit facilities belonging entirely to you.

4.4. Third-Party Deposit Restriction

You must only deposit funds from a payment source (bank account, debit card, or electronic wallet) that is registered in your own legal name. We do not accept third-party deposits. If a third-party deposit is identified, all wagers placed using those funds will be declared void, any winnings will be forfeited, and the remaining net deposit amount will be returned to the source account, less any applicable administrative processing fees.

4.5. Withdrawal Conditions and Verification

Prior to processing any withdrawal request, the following conditions must be met to our satisfaction:

• Your identity, age, and address must be fully verified in accordance with our Know Your Customer (KYC) policies.
• All deposited funds must be wagered through at least once (1x turnover requirement) to prevent money laundering and illicit financial recycling.
• The withdrawal must be directed to a bank account or payment method registered in your own name.
• There must be no active, unresolved investigations into your account activity, fraud checks, or terms violations.

4.6. Transaction Limits

We reserve the right to impose minimum and maximum transaction limits on deposits and withdrawals per transaction, per day, or per month, at our sole discretion or as mandated by regulatory requirements.

Customer Verification (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

5.1. AML/CTF Compliance Obligations

As a provider of interactive wagering services accessible within Australia, Venus55 is fully committed to preventing the abuse of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion, or any other criminal activities. We maintain rigorous compliance protocols overseen by AUSTRAC under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).

5.2. The Know Your Customer (KYC) Process

You are required to complete our customer verification process. In compliance with Australian national standards, you must verify your identity within 72 hours of opening an account, or prior to making a withdrawal or placing a wager exceeding statutory limits, whichever occurs first. Failure to complete identity verification within the mandated timeframe will result in the immediate suspension of your account and the restriction of all wagering and financial transactions until verification is completed successfully.

5.3. Required Documentation

To verify your identity, we require digital copies or certified copies of valid identity documents, which may include:

• A valid Australian Driver’s Licence, a valid Australian Passport, or an official Proof of Age card (verifying your full name, photograph, and date of birth).
• A recent utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued document (not older than three months) verifying your current residential address.
• Proof of ownership of the payment method utilized to deposit funds (e.g, a copy of your debit card with sensitive digits masked or a bank statement showing the transaction).

5.4. Source of Funds and Enhanced Due Diligence

We reserve the right to conduct enhanced due diligence checks at any time. This may include requesting that you provide documentation confirming your legitimate source of wealth or source of funds (such as pay slips, tax returns, or company filings) if your transaction volumes, deposit frequencies, or wagering patterns warrant heightened scrutiny under AML/CTF guidelines. We may utilize authorized third-party credit reporting agencies and identity verification services to validate your data.

Bonuses, Promotions, and Incentives

6.1. Regulatory Restrictions on Sign-Up Incentives

In strict compliance with the National Consumer Protection Framework (NCPF) for online wagering and applicable state gambling advertising laws (such as those enforced by NSW Liquor & Gaming and Victoria's Gambling and Casino Control Commission), Venus55 does not offer, advertise, or provide sign-up bonuses, free bets, credits, or any form of introductory incentives designed to induce residents of Australia to open an account or gamble. Any promotional offers, rewards, or loyalty programs detailed on the platform are accessible strictly to existing, fully verified account holders who have opted in, where legally permitted by state laws.

6.2. Promotional Terms and Conditions

Any promotions, bonuses, tournaments, or loyalty rewards made available to eligible players are subject to specific promotional terms which supplement these general Terms. In the event of any conflict between these general Terms and the specific promotional terms, the specific promotional terms shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

6.3. Wagering Requirements

All promotional credits or bonuses may be subject to wagering requirements (turnover clauses) that dictate the minimum volume of bets that must be placed before any bonus funds or associated winnings can be converted into cash and withdrawn. Failure to meet these wagering requirements within the specified expiration period will result in the forfeiture of the remaining bonus funds and any accumulated winnings derived from them.

6.4. Promotion Abuse and Irregular Play

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that a player is engaging in promotional abuse, exploitation of software vulnerabilities, collusive betting, risk-free hedging strategies, or any form of irregular play designed to guarantee profits from promotional funds, we reserve the right to:

• Void all bonuses, rewards, and associated winnings.
• Reclaim any bonus payouts already withdrawn.
• Exclude the player from future promotional opportunities.
• Terminate the player's account immediately.

Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion

7.1. Commitment to Gambling Harm Minimisation

Venus55 is deeply committed to providing a safe, secure, and responsible environment for our players. We acknowledge that while wagering is a form of entertainment for many, it can cause severe financial, social, and psychological harm to others. We strictly adhere to the National Consumer Protection Framework (NCPF) to minimize gambling-related harm.

7.2. Responsible Gambling Tools

We provide a comprehensive suite of self-management tools accessible directly through your account dashboard to help you maintain control over your wagering activities. These tools include:

7.3. BetStop – The National Self-Exclusion Register

BetStop is the Australian Government's National Self-Exclusion Register for all licensed interactive wagering operators.

• If you choose to self-exclude using BetStop, you will be banned from opening an account, log into an existing account, or placing wagers with all licensed online and phone wagering providers in Australia.
• Venus55 performs real-time verification checks against the BetStop database during account registration and login events.
• If you are registered on BetStop, we will immediately close or suspend your account, block your access, and prevent you from receiving any marketing materials. It is your responsibility to ensure you do not attempt to circumvent BetStop controls. Venus55 cannot be held liable for any wagers placed or losses incurred if you manage to bypass these checks using falsified information.

If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, or if you wish to seek professional, confidential support, we strongly encourage you to contact the following independent helplines immediately:
