Terms of Use

1. About G Network and these terms

G Network (gnetwork.com.au) publishes Australian lottery results, draw history, statistics and tools. We are a data and analytics resource only. We do not sell tickets, take bets or accept entries, and we are not affiliated with The Lott, any lottery operator or any ticket retailer.

These terms apply to the website, member accounts, the data download tool and the developer API at api.gnetwork.com.au. By using any of them you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. Results, statistics and accuracy

We publish results as soon as practical after each draw and check them, but errors and delays can happen. The results published by the official lottery operator are the only authoritative record. Always check a ticket with the official operator or your retailer before you claim it or throw it away.

Statistics such as frequencies, hot and cold numbers and odds describe past draws. Every draw is random and independent, and nothing on this site predicts future results or improves your chance of winning. Nothing here is financial or gambling advice.

If gambling is causing harm for you or someone close to you, free and confidential support is available from Gambling Help Online, any time, on 1800 858 858.

3. Accounts

• Give accurate details when you sign up and keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One person, one account. Don't open extra accounts to get more API keys, to reset a limit, or to come back after a suspension.
• Don't share your account or your API keys. A key belongs to the account that created it.
• Members must accept the current version of these terms to keep using their account. When the terms change in a way that matters, you'll be asked to accept them again the next time you visit while signed in.
• You can disable or delete your account at any time from your profile.

4. Reasonable use

Reasonable use is what a person browsing the site, or a well-behaved app using the API, would do. All of this is welcome:

• Browsing results, statistics, guides and news as often as you like.
• Using the tools, including checking your numbers against past draws.
• Linking to any page, and quoting individual results with a credit to G Network.
• Building your own non-commercial apps, spreadsheets and research from data you get through the download or the API (see Using our data).

This is not reasonable use:

• Scraping, crawling or harvesting the results, draw or statistics pages with scripts or automated tools. The same data is free through the download and the API.
• Sending requests faster or more often than a person browsing would, or in a way that slows the site down for others.
• Rotating IP addresses, proxies, VPN exits, user agents or accounts to get around a limit, a security check or a block.
• Disguising an automated client as a web browser, or hiding who is responsible for it.
• Probing for vulnerabilities, sending injection or attack payloads, load testing, or trying to reach admin areas or other people's accounts.
• Bypassing or interfering with security checks, including the human verification on our forms.
• Creating accounts in bulk or with false details.
• Using the site, the API or the data to run your own monetised product or service without our permission (see Using our data).

Using a VPN or a privacy relay for your own browsing is fine. Using one to get around a limit or a block is not.

5. Collecting data the right way

If you need our data in a program, this is how to get it without running into our limits:

• Full history: create a free account and download the complete archive as CSV or JSON from the download tool. Do this once and store it.
• Staying current: use the free API at api.gnetwork.com.au/v1 (documentation). Each key allows 60 requests per rolling hour. If you receive HTTP 429, wait for the time in the Retry-After header before trying again.
• Poll sensibly: results only change after a draw, so check after draw time rather than on a constant loop, and cache what you receive.
• Identify yourself: send a User-Agent that names your project and includes a way to contact you, such as a web address or email. If we can identify a client, we can contact its owner instead of blocking it.
• One key per project: if your project genuinely needs more than the standard limit, contact us rather than opening more accounts.

Search engines, and AI assistants fetching a page to answer a person's question, are welcome within our robots.txt. AI agents must also follow these terms: a plain-text copy written for them is at /tos.md. Anyone, or any tool, collecting the dataset in bulk should use the download or the API.

6. Limits and enforcement

We apply automated rate limits and security checks across the site and the API. API limits are published in the API documentation. Other thresholds are not published and may change without notice.

To protect the service we record, for each request, the IP address, user agent, page requested, referring page and time, and we keep account activity such as sign-ins, downloads, API calls and when you accepted or refused these terms. We use these records to detect scraping, automated abuse and multiple accounts, including the same operator moving between IP addresses.

If use isn't reasonable, we may, with or without notice:

• slow down, challenge or refuse requests;
• block IP addresses, networks or user agents;
• revoke API keys;
• suspend or close accounts, and reserve the username.

A blocked visitor sees a notice explaining the block. If you think we've blocked you by mistake, contact us with your IP address and roughly when it happened, and we'll look into it.

7. Using our data

Results data is free for personal, non-commercial use when you get it through the download or the API and follow these terms:

• Credit G Network as the source, with a link to gnetwork.com.au where practical.
• Don't present the data as official lottery results, or suggest that G Network or any lottery operator endorses what you've built.
• Don't republish the dataset as a bulk database, data feed or API of your own.
• If what you've built shows results to other people, tell them to confirm results with the official operator.

Monetised use isn't allowed yet. Using this service to run your own monetised system isn't allowed yet. Paid commercial access is planned for the future. A monetised system is any product, app, website or service that earns money, for example through sales, subscriptions, advertising, client fees, paid tips or predictions, or reselling data. For now, if you'd like to build something monetised, contact us to ask for temporary permission, and don't launch it until we've agreed in writing. Users found doing so without our written permission or the appropriate billing in place will be banned: the account suspended, API keys revoked and IP addresses blocked.

Our articles, guides, analysis, page design and logo are our own work. Please link to them, or quote short extracts with a credit, rather than copying them.

8. Availability and changes

The site, tools, download and API are provided free and as they are. We may change, limit, suspend or discontinue any part of them, including the API and its limits, at any time. We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. Members will be asked to accept a changed version before they continue, and anyone else using the service after a change accepts the updated terms.

9. Liability

To the extent the law allows, G Network is not liable for any loss or damage arising from using, or being unable to use, the site, the data or the API, including loss caused by an error, omission or delay in results. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or any other law, that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.

11. Contact

For questions about these terms, temporary permission for monetised use, a higher API limit for a project, or a block you think is a mistake, use our contact form.
