Minimum Bet Limits (Racing)
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, VicBet 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 applicable to VicBet as at July 2025) are set out below:
