Terms of use for How to Play Two-up

These terms cover how you may use How to Play Two-up and what you can rely on it for. In short, the guides are general information about two-up, written with care and dated, but they aren't legal advice. Laws, permits and venue plans change, so check the Act or the venue before you rely on a detail.

Our guides summarise the two-up provisions in each state’s and territory’s Acts and the rules regulators publish. They explain the law in general terms and aren’t legal advice for your situation. We name the Act and section behind each claim so you can read it yourself, as in why two-up is illegal; for advice, ask a lawyer or your state’s gaming regulator.

Parliaments amend Acts, regulators revise their rules and permits, and venues change or cancel their plans. We recheck the guides before each Anzac Day, but a detail can change after our last check date. We aren’t responsible for a venue’s decisions, times or cancellations, so confirm with the venue before you travel, as our Anzac Day guide suggests.

Two-up is for adults

Two-up played for money is gambling, and it’s for adults 18 and over. It’s lawful only where and when state or territory law allows it. We don’t take bets, run games or sell anything, and nothing on this site offers gambling. If you choose to play, our gamble responsibly page sets out ways to keep it within your limits and where to find free help.

We link to Acts, regulators, museums, dictionaries and venue pages so you can check what we write. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or availability. We don’t link to offshore casinos, and our pages carry no affiliate links; our disclosure explains how the site is funded.

The text of this site belongs to its publisher. You’re welcome to quote short passages with a link to the page they came from. Acts, rules and archive material we quote remain the property of their owners, and how we handle your personal information is covered by our privacy policy.

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss arising from use of the site or reliance on it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Australian law that can’t be excluded. These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and we’ll update this page and its date if they change.
