Complaints
upc0z is committed to handling complaints fairly, promptly, and transparently. This page explains how to raise a concern with us, how we will respond, and the external bodies you can contact if you remain dissatisfied. upc0z is licensed and operates under the oversight of Liquor & Gaming NSW (licence number 4597/2024/WB).
We encourage you to raise any concern with us first, as this is usually the fastest way to reach a resolution.
Step 1 — Complain Directly to the Operator
The first step is to contact our support team by emailing support@upc0z.com or using our Contact Us page. To help us investigate quickly, please include:
- The email address associated with your account.
- A clear description of what happened and what went wrong.
- Relevant dates and times.
- Any reference numbers (for example, bet, transaction, or prior contact references).
- The outcome you are seeking.
We will acknowledge your complaint within 1 business day. We will provide an initial substantive response within 2 business days. We aim to resolve complaints within 21 calendar days. Where a matter is complex and needs more time, we will keep you informed of progress and explain the reason for any delay.
Step 2 — Internal Escalation
If your complaint is not resolved, or you are dissatisfied with the outcome, you can ask for it to be escalated. The matter will be referred to a senior complaints officer for a management review. We will look at the issue afresh, consider any new information you provide, and give you a written explanation of our final position.
Reference Numbers
When you contact us, we will record your complaint and provide a reference number where applicable. Please keep this reference and quote it in any further contact. A reference number helps us track your matter, link related correspondence, and is often required if you later escalate to an external body.
Anonymous and Third-Party Complaints
You may raise a complaint anonymously; however, this may limit our ability to investigate, verify account-specific facts, or update you on the outcome. You may also have a complaint made on your behalf by a third party, such as a family member, advocate, or authorised representative, provided we can reasonably confirm your authorisation to discuss your account with that person.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this complaints process or in our Terms limits or excludes any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Our complaints handling is in addition to, and does not replace, those statutory rights.
Privacy Complaints and the OAIC
If your complaint concerns how we handle your personal information, please raise it with our Privacy Officer first, at support@upc0z.com with the subject line "Privacy request – Attention: Privacy Officer" (see our Privacy Policy). Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) guidance, the OAIC will generally only accept a privacy complaint if the operator has not resolved it within 30 days. This means you should allow us at least 30 days to respond before taking a privacy complaint to the OAIC.
What Happens If We Do Not Respond
If we do not acknowledge or respond within the timeframes above, or if we do not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you are entitled to escalate to the relevant external body listed below. Please retain copies of your correspondence and any reference numbers, as external bodies may ask for them.
Time Limits for External Escalation
Each external body sets its own rules and time limits for accepting complaints. As a general guide, you should escalate promptly once our internal process is complete or once the applicable waiting period (such as the 30-day period for privacy matters) has passed. Check the relevant body's website for current eligibility and time-limit requirements before lodging.
