Frequently Asked Questions

The Podium Collective is a subscription-based Australian horse racing education and analysis service. We provide form analysis, previews, commentary, post‑race reviews, and a private community where members can discuss racing with like‑minded people.

We share “key plays”, lower‑confidence ideas, and thoughts on exotics (quaddies, multis, etc.) as part of our educational content, but we do not place bets for you or provide personal financial advice. All wagering decisions and outcomes remain entirely your responsibility.

No. Racing is volatile and inherently risky, and even sound systems, discipline, and bankroll management cannot remove the risk of loss. Our role is to help you think more clearly about races and build a more structured approach over time, not to guarantee profit.

We do not have full publicly tracked results yet, because our current offerings have been run privately. We will publish all “key play” results from our public launch onwards, and we are more than happy to provide our results from last spring or early autumn.

Our main key plays (highest‑conviction selections) will be 100% tracked and reported from public launch. We may also share lower‑confidence ideas and exotic thoughts (for example, quaddies or multis), but these will be clearly labelled and may not be tracked in the same way.

The service is for adults who already bet or follow racing and want a more disciplined, educational framework around their betting, plus a secure, private community (similar to a Discord‑style chat) to talk through races, ideas, and strategy with others who take it seriously.

We currently offer:

1) VIP – monthly subscription with broader coverage and deeper analysis.

2) Best Bets – monthly subscription focused on our strongest “key plays”.

3) Seasonal packages – fixed‑term access for specific racing seasons (for example, Spring Carnival).

All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD).

VIP and Best Bets are billed monthly in AUD and automatically renew each month until you cancel. Seasonal packages are billed once for the stated term and do not auto‑renew. You can cancel any time via the Stripe Customer Portal link we send or by contacting us; access continues until the end of your paid period.

All payments are processed securely via Stripe using debit or credit card. Stripe handles your card details; we don’t see or store your full card number or CVC.

Stripe will try to process your payment. If it still fails after the retry process, your access will be suspended and the subscription will end. To return, you just start a new subscription the same way you did the first time.

Once your subscription is active, you’ll receive an email with a secure “magic link” to the members area. You simply click the link from your inbox to log in, without needing to remember a username and password.

Yes, you must be 18+ and legally allowed to bet where you live. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, we strongly encourage you to take a break and seek help—such as Gamblers Help in Australia (1800 858 858) or the Gambling Helpline in New Zealand (0800 654 655).
