Terms and Conditions

Your use of Golfnet constitutes acceptance of these Terms and our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of Golfnet after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access Golfnet.

YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO USE GOLFNET'S BETTING CONTENT

Golfnet contains golf betting content, including our golf betting tips, golf betting odds comparisons, and betting market analysis. This content is intended exclusively for users aged 18 and over, in compliance with Irish and European Union gambling regulations.

By accessing our betting pages, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that online gambling is legal in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, you must not access our betting content or click links to bookmakers.

• Responsible Gambling: We encourage responsible gambling. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, please seek help from organizations such as Problem Gambling Ireland (www.problemgambling.ie) or GamCare (www.gamcare.org.uk).

Our golf betting content is for entertainment and informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Gambling involves risk, and you may lose money.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: Golfnet operates as an affiliate partner with online bookmakers.

When you click links to bookmakers on our golf betting section, you may be redirected to third-party gambling websites. If you register an account or place bets with these bookmakers, Golfnet may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial content or odds comparisons. Our Golf Betting Analyst, Darren Maguire, independently analyzes betting markets and provides betting selections based on value and analysis, not affiliate commission rates.

We only recommend bookmakers that are licensed and regulated for operation in Ireland or the European Union. However, you are responsible for verifying that any bookmaker you use is legal in your jurisdiction.

Golfnet is not a licensed gambling operator. We provide information and analysis only. All betting transactions occur directly between you and the bookmakers.

Golf Betting Content

• Odds Accuracy: Betting odds displayed on our golf betting odds pages are accurate at the time of publication but change frequently. We cannot guarantee odds remain available when you click through to bookmakers. Always verify odds with the bookmaker before placing bets.
• Betting Tips: Our golf betting tips represent the analysis and opinions of our Golf Betting Analyst. These are not guarantees of outcomes. All sports betting involves risk. You should never bet more than you can afford to lose.
• Not Financial Advice: Golfnet does not provide financial, investment, or professional gambling advice. Our betting content is for informational and entertainment purposes only. You are solely responsible for your betting decisions.

Irish Golf Information Content

• Tournament Information: We strive for accuracy in our Irish golf tournaments calendar, live scores coverage, and championship information. However, tournament schedules, formats, and results may change. Always verify official details with tournament organizers or Golf Ireland before making plans.
• Handicap Information: Our World Handicap System guide provides educational information about handicapping in Ireland. For official handicap calculations or queries about your specific handicap, consult your club's handicap committee or Golf Ireland.
• Course Information: Details about golf courses in our golf courses and travel guide are provided for informational purposes. Green fees, availability, course conditions, and policies may change. Contact courses directly to confirm current information before visiting.
• Ulster Golf Information: Information about Ulster golf, cross-border competitions, and Northern Ireland courses in our GUI Ulster guide is accurate to our knowledge but subject to change. Verify details with specific clubs or GUI Ulster for official information.
