1.1 Abandoned/Postponed events
1.1.1 If any single event (match, game, race etc.) is not completed within 72 hours of the original, scheduled completion date then all bets on the event will be void, except those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
1.1.2 If any tournament or competition is not completed within seven days of the original, scheduled completion date then all relevant markets will be settled based on the official result of the relevant governing body, provided the result is announced within 30 days of the original scheduled completion date.
1.1.3 Where a number of days are specified in relation to the completion of an event, the specific cut-off time would be 23:59:59 in the time zone where the event was scheduled to take place.
1.2 Venue changes and Event durations
1.2.1 If there is a change to the scheduled venue for an event then all bets will stand unless the new venue is the home ground of the team originally listed as the away team.
1.2.2 If there is a change in the type of surface an event was due to take place on (e.g. a tennis match changing from grass to hard court) then all bets will be void.
1.2.3 Unless specifically stated otherwise, all bets apply to the regular time period of an event, including any stoppage or injury time played. Extra-time periods or other methods for deciding a contest will not count for the purposes of settlement.
1.2.4 If the scheduled duration of an event is changed before the event starts then all bets on the event will be void.
1.3 Dead Heat Rules
If two or more selections finish in a dead heat in a market, the return for a winning back bet would be reduced. The reduction is calculated by multiplying the original Stake by the number of expected winners and dividing it by the number of dead-heated selections. The total return is then calculated based on the reduced Stake (i.e. the reduced Stake at the original odds) with the net winnings being this amount less the original Stake.
Example 1: In a market where three selections dead heat for 1st place, a back bet on one of the winners on €60 at 6.0 or 5/1 is settled as follows: The Stake of €60 is multiplied by the number of expected winners (1) and divided by the number of dead heated selections (3) to calculate the reduced Stake (€60 x 1/3 = €20). The return is then the reduced Stake at the original odds (€20 x 6 = €120). The net winnings are €60 or the return (€120) less the original stake (€60).
Example 2: Take a market with three expected winning selections (e.g. Horse racing place market), where one selection is an outright winner and four selections dead-heat for second place. Once the outright winner has been settled, there are two remaining 'places' in the market. A bet of €60 at 6.0 or 5/1 on one of the four dead-heated selections is settled as follows, the Stake of €60 is multiplied by the expected number of winners (2) and divided by the number of dead heated selections (4) to calculate the reduced Stake (€60 x 2/4 = €30). The return is then the reduced Stake at the original odds (€30 x 6 = €180). The net winnings are €120, or the return (€180) less the original Stake (€60)
1.4 In running markets
1.4.1 We reserve the right to suspend an in running market at any time or decide against turning a market In Running if there are problems with the feeds used to manage an event, or other technical difficulties. In these circumstances we accept no liability for Customers' inability to make offers.
1.4.2 Customers should be aware that broadcasts described as "live" may actually be subject to delays and that the extent of the delays may vary depending on the broadcaster.
1.4.3 There is a built in delay when placing bets in an in running market. The length of the delay will depend on the sport and on broadcasts available for the event.
1.4.4 A bet placed at a price that will match, when the Customer confirms the bet, is subject to the In Running delay. A bet placed at an unmatched price, when the Customer confirms the bet, is not subject to the in running delay and will be placed immediately as an unmatched offer in the market. Customers should be aware that bets that are subject to an in running delay cannot be cancelled until the time delay has expired.
1.4.5 When managing unmatched offers in an in running market, a change of Stake will not be subject to an in running delay. A change of odds to a price that will get matched in the market will be subject to a delay, and a change of odds to a price that will not get matched is not subject to the in running delay.
1.5 Unmanaged in running markets
1.5.1 Unmanaged in running markets are markets which are turned in running at the scheduled start of a game and are available for betting during the game but are not managed at any stage during the game ie the market will not be suspended if a goal is scored, a penalty is awarded or a player is sent off.
1.5.2 An unmanaged in running market will be turned in running at the scheduled start of the match with unmatched bets, except for those specifically selected to go in running, cancelled. Once in running, unmatched bets will not be cancelled at any stage.
1.6 'Keep In-Running' bets
1.6.1 For any market that is due to turn in running, a Customer can select the option for their unmatched orders to remain 'open' in the market when it is turned in running. This option is available when a bet is being placed, or either by selecting the option and updating the bet in the "Current Bets" panel or this can be applied for all bets through your account preferences. Once selected, the unmatched bet will not be cancelled when the market turns in running, when the market is reset following a goal, penalty or sending off in a soccer match.
1.6.2 Other than as set out below, unmatched "lay" offers will be cancelled when a non-runner is removed from a horse racing market, provided the deduction factor of the non-runner or the accumulated deduction factors for the market is 2.5% or greater in "Win" markets and 4.0% or greater in "Place" markets. However, bets placed with the "Keep In-Running" option will not be cancelled; back bets will remain on the site without being re-priced and the lay odds will be re-priced taking into account the deduction factor of the non-runner. This feature will override any personal settings selected in the Preference section.
1.6.3 Generally, there is no point, other than when the market is finally closed, where "Keep in running" bets will be cancelled; however, we reserve the right to cancel "Keep in running" bets if it is deemed necessary to protect Customers.
1.7 Market management
1.7.1 If a market is due to close at the start of an event, but fails to close for any reason, we reserve the right to void all bets placed after the start of the event. In the absence of an official 'off' time for the event, or a source for the 'actual' start time, the scheduled start time will be used.
1.7.2 If a market is due to go in running at the start of an event but is not turned in running and unmatched bets are not cancelled, we reserve the right to void all bets matched after the start of the event. We endeavour to turn markets in running at the start of the game, match or event (as applicable) but cannot guarantee that markets will be suspended or turned in running at the time stated within the rules found within each event ("Market Rules"). If a market set to be turned in running does not do so at the stated time but is later turned in running within the duration of the game, match or event (as applicable) all bets matched prior to a "significant event" (for example, a goal scored in football, a try scored in rugby, a touchdown scored in American football, as determined by Betdaq in its sole discretion) will stand. If a "significant event" has occurred without the game being turned in running, bets matched between the "significant event" in question and the market turned in running will be void. If a market set to be turned in running at the event start time fails to do so or is not suspended at any stage for the duration of the game, match or event (as applicable) all bets matched after the official event start time will be void.
1.7.3 If the situation outlined in paragraph 1.7.2 occurs:
1.7.3.1 and the market is not turned in running at any stage during the event, bets placed after the start of the event will be void. In the absence of an official "off" time for the event, or a source for the actual start time, the scheduled start time will be used.
1.7.3.2 in markets other than soccer, and the market is turned in running during the event, bets placed between the start of the event and the market being turned in running, will be void. In the absence of an official "off" time for the event, or a source for the actual start time, the scheduled start time will be used.
1.8 Market settlement:
1.8.1 All markets will be settled in accordance with these Betdaq Exchange Rules ("Betdaq Rules") and the Market Rules. In the case of any ambiguity between the Betdaq Rules and the Market Rules, the Market Rules shall prevail and will be considered final for the purposes of settlement. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of a market if there has been an error in the original settlement, and to make the necessary amendments to Customer's Accounts to reflect any changes in the settlement of the market.
1.8.2 In the event of any doubt surrounding the result of a market or event, we reserve the right to withhold settlement of the market until such time as said doubt has been removed. In the event that the result cannot be verified, we reserve the right to void the market.
1.8.3 Markets will generally be settled as soon as the result can be confirmed. As a courtesy to Customers, we may decide to settle or part settle some markets or selections before an official result has been announced; however, we reserve the right to amend this settlement if the official result is different to that used for the original settlement, or if the whole market is eventually to be voided.
1.8.4 Unless otherwise stated, all markets will be settled based on the official result, regardless of subsequent amendments to the result.

Once this has been confirmed, the selection will be removed from the market and, if appropriate, void all bets placed on the market from midnight on the date of death. If an accurate time for the horse's death can be ascertained, Betdaq may, using its discretion and all the information available, decide to void bets from a more reasonable time.
18.3 Place Markets
The possible number of 'placed' or winning selections in a market is stated below the individual market and is determined by the number of declared runners when the market is being setup. Once the market has been displayed, further non-runners will not affect the number of 'places' in a market. If the number of potential winners, as stated below the market, is equal to or greater than the number of runners, all bets on this market will be void. If the number of 'Placed' horses in a race is less than the number of potential winners listed, the winning selections will only be the placed horse or horses.
18.4 Each Way Markets
The place element of your "Each Way" bet will be settled according to the number of 'places' stated below the market. The number of 'places' in an "Each Way" market is based on the number of selections that participate in a race and can be affected by non-runners. In the event of there being less than five runners in the race all bets will be void.
18.5 Other Horse Racing Rules
18.5.1 Card numbers are included as a guide only; bets are placed on the named horse.
18.5.2 Horses are not coupled for betting purposes. If a horse is running for purse money only, or the stewards declare it will not be included for betting purposes, it will be deemed a non-runner. If this results in the number of potential winners, stated below the market, being equal to or greater than the number of runners in the market, all bets will be void.
18.6 Winning Distance Markets
18.6.1 Unless otherwise stated in the market info, bets on 'winning distance' markets are on the sum of the winning distances from each race on one particular day at a race meeting.
18.6.2 The winning distance in a race will be the officially declared distance between the first and second placed horses.
18.6.3 For the purpose of these markets the maximum distance on any individual race will be 12 lengths for Flat races and 30 lengths for National Hunt races (including National Hunt Flat Races) and these distances will be applied if only one horse finishes a race. For distances below half a length the following scale will be applied:
Nose 0.05 length
Short-head 0.1 length
Head 0.2 length
Short-neck 0.25 length
Neck 0.3 length
18.6.4 If there are three or more races abandoned or declared void at a meeting, then all bets on winning distance markets will be void. If there are only one or two races abandoned or declared void then a default distance will be used for each abandoned or void race. The distances used will be 2 lengths for Flat races and 10 lengths for National Hunt races.
18.6.5 In the case of a walkover or no horse finishing the race the distances that will be applied are five lengths for Flat races and 12 lengths for National Hunt races.
18.7 Non-Runner Rules
18.7.1 Any horse in the Betdaq market that does not come under starter's orders is deemed to be a non-runner.
18.7.2 In the event of a false start or similar incident resulting in a race being re-run, the rule regarding 'under starter's orders', as set out in paragraph 18.7, will not apply and horses taking no part in the re-run will be treated as non-runners.
18.7.3 All horse racing markets displayed are subject to Betdaq's non-runner rule, which relates to the adjustment of odds on bets unconditionally placed when a horse in a race is declared a non-runner. The adjustment is made by applying a 'deduction factor' (on the basis set out in paragraph 18.9) to the remaining horses. The deduction factor for each horse is broadly based on that horse's chances of being a winner in the market.
18.7.4 When the market is opened, all runners will be allotted a deduction factor that is based on a forecast price. These deduction factors may be updated during the day based on trading in the market. The deduction factor for each horse can be found by clicking on the trading history of the horse.
18.8 Non-Runner Withdrawals
18.8.1 As soon as Betdaq has confirmed that a horse is a non-runner in a race, that horse will be removed from the market and all bets on that horse will be void.
18.8.2 In the "Win" and "Each Way" markets, if the deduction factor of the non-runner is 2.5% or greater, the odds of all bets placed on the remaining horses will be reduced by an amount equal to the non-runners final deduction factor. The unmatched offers to lay the remaining horses will also be cancelled (unless otherwise set out under "Preferences" in the "My Account" section). If the deduction factor of the non-runner is less than 2.5% no deductions will be made and no unmatched bets will be cancelled.
18.8.3 In the "Place" market, if the deduction factor of the non-runner is 4.0% or greater, the potential winnings from all bets placed will be reduced by an amount equal to the non-runners final deduction factor. If the deduction factor of the non-runner is less than 4.0% no unmatched bets will be cancelled.
18.8.4 After the withdrawal of any non-runner, the deduction factors on the remaining horses will be adjusted to reflect their improved chance of winning.
18.8.5 In the event of a late withdrawal, Betdaq reserves the right to withdraw the horse and apply the deduction factor after the race. If a race is unconditionally in running, Betdaq reserves the right to suspend the market until such time as the non-runner can be removed.
18.8.6 If a non-runner is removed from a race in error, the runner will be re-instated and all bets in relation to that runner will stand (accounts may have to be adjusted manually to reflect the original bets). All bets made between the time of the withdrawal and the re-instatement will be void in all related markets. The deduction factor applied to bets at the time of the withdrawal will be reversed and the original prices will become valid.
18.9 Deduction Factors
18.9.1 In "Win" and "Each Way" markets the deduction factor is applied to the price of each bet.
18.9.2 For example: if a horse with a final deduction factor of 15% is withdrawn, the odds of all bets placed on the remaining horses will be reduced by 15%, e.g. a bet placed at odds of 6.0 would become 5.10 after the deduction had been applied (6.0 x 0.85 = 5.10).
18.9.3 These odds may be reduced further if there are additional horses declared as non-runners and withdrawn from the market. If a non-runner in an Each Way market, results in the number of 'places' in the market being reduced, the revised place terms will be applied to all bets in the market.
18.9.4 In "Place" markets the deduction factor is applied to the potential winnings on each bet only, and not the odds of the bet.
18.9.5 For example: if a horse with a final deduction factor of 15% is withdrawn, the potential winnings on all previously matched bets on the remaining horses will be reduced by 15%, ie a bet placed at odds of 6.0 would become 5.25 after the deduction had been applied.
18.9.6 For instance, a €20 bet at odds of 6.0, where the potential winnings would be €100. If a non-runner were withdrawn with a deduction factor of 15%, the deduction would be applied to the potential winnings of €100, leaving potential winnings of €85 or a revised matched price of 5.25.
18.9.7 These odds may be reduced further if there are additional horses declared as non-runners and withdrawn from the market.
18.10 Points to note:
18.10.1 If two or more horses are withdrawn from a "Win" or "Each Way" market, each of which has an individual deduction factor of less than 2.5%, but the combined deduction factor is more than 2.5%, then the combined deduction factor will be applied as per the example above. This is also the case for "Place" markets where the combined deduction factor is more than 4.0%.
18.10.2 A reserve runner may appear in a market but it will not have an applicable deduction factor until such time as the horse has been confirmed as a runner. A non-runner that is replaced by a reserve will be treated in the same manner as a regular non-runner and as such the relevant deduction factor will be applied.
19.1 Unless otherwise specified, all bets will be settled on the official, final score at the end of regular time, including any overtime and shoot-outs that get played.
19.2 If a match starts but is later postponed or abandoned and less than 55 minutes are completed, and no official result is announced, then all bets will be void, except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined. Matches that do not start on the scheduled date will be void.

26.1 General
26.1.1 Unless otherwise stated, all football match bets apply to regular time only. This includes injury time but not any extra time periods or penalty shoot-outs. All bets will be void on matches where there is a change of opponent. If there is a change of venue all bets will stand unless the match is played at the ground of the team originally listed as away.
26.1.2 If a match is postponed or delayed and does not (or will not) start by midnight on the scheduled date then all bets on the match will be void unless we are aware that the match has been rescheduled to be played within 36 hours of the original scheduled date.
26.1.3 If a match is abandoned or postponed after it has kicked-off then all bets on all markets associated with this match will be declared void unless the match is completed (according to the official source) within 36 hours of the original scheduled time, except for any instance where an unconditional definitive result for a market has unconditionally been determined prior to abandonment: for example first goal scorer, time of first goal or half time result. In the event of an abandoned match restarting from the beginning (within the 36 hours) bets matched prior to kick-off of the original match and bets on markets which have been unconditionally determined will stand. All other bets will be declared void.
26.1.4 If a team is thrown out or disqualified from a league before the season starts then all bets on affected markets will be void. If the league has unconditionally started, (i.e. the first league game has been played) all bets will stand and the team will be settled as a loser.
26.1.5 For "First Goalscorer" or "Last Goalscorer" markets, bets will be voided on any player who takes no part in the match or comes on as a substitute after the 1st goal has been scored. Own goals do not count for either market. Subsequent appeals or rulings will not affect settlement of the market. For "Player to Score" markets, all bets will stand if the player plays any part in the match.
26.1.6 For markets that relate to the time of first or last goal, the first half is considered to last 45 minutes, regardless of additional time played. For these markets, a period will last from the first second to the time that falls one second before the end of the period so that, by way of example, the "0-10 minutes" selection covers the period from kick-off until 9.59. The "11-20 minutes" selection covers from 10.00 until 19.59. This principle applies to each of this type of market.
26.1.7 Markets relating to the number of events that occur, such as the corners in match, will be decided on the number taken, and not on the number awarded.
26.2 In running Football - Managed games
At the start of the match, all unmatched bets, except for those selected to go in running, will be cancelled and the market will be turned in running. The market will be suspended if a "significant event" occurs (for example, a goal has been scored, a penalty awarded or a player being sent off , as determined by Betdaq in its sole discretion). If a goal is scored or a player is sent off, all unmatched bets, except for those selected as "Keep In-Running", in running will be cancelled and the market re-opened. We endeavour to turn markets in running at the start of the game, match event (as applicable) but cannot guarantee that markets will be suspended or turned in running at the time stated within the Market Rules. If a market set to be turned in running does not do so at the stated time but is later turned in running within the duration of the game, match or event (as applicable) all bets matched prior to the "significant event" will stand. If a "significant event" has occurred without the game being turn in running, bets matched between the "significant event" in question and the market turned in running will be void. If a market set to be turned in running at the event start time fails to do so or is not suspended at any stage for the duration of the game, match event as applicable all bets matched after the official event start time will be void.

This does not apply to 'Match Odds' or 'Set Winner' markets on Davis Cup matches or 'dead rubber' matches that have been shortened from five to three sets after the market has been opened by Betdaq, provided that the match has been shortened in accordance with the competition's rules.
