Frequently Asked Questions

When do I pay my subs fee?

As soon as possible please. Click here for all the details.

What is Game 1 total points?

It is NOT the points margin! You have to tip the total number of points scored in game 1 of the round, that is Team 1's points plus Team 2's points. This is used as a tie breaker when working out the weekly winner. Obviously this is not the same as points margin (and harder to tip too!). See rule 5 .

Adding addition tippers under the same email address...

For those tippers that have more than one tipper on one email address (e.g. husband and wife), please register for one of the tippers, then send us an email by clicking here with details for the additional tippers, and we’ll do the rest. Of course if your Family member would rather register for themselves on their own email address, that’s fine too.

Why doesn’t my internet browser save my login details?

The internet browser you use may not save your email and password when you log in to HAT Footy Tipping (i.e. Cookies won’t save the details). This can be a real pain having to re-enter these details every time you log in.

How do I get a HAT Footy Tipping desktop shortcut icon?

When you add the Footy Tipping web page to your Favourites in MS Edge or Google Chrome, the HAT Footy Tipping icon should be shown. Then make sure you can see your desktop and click and drag the icon to the desktop.

Another way to do it is to click on 'Home', then 'File', 'Send', 'Shortcut to Desktop'. That works in MS Edge. It should probably work similarly in other browsers.
