Betting In Play:

All floorball bets in running will be settled on 60 minutes play unless specifically stated otherwise. When scores are displayed in running, every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the score and game situation. However no liability is accepted for incorrect information displayed.

'Period Betting - 20 mins only'

Each 20 minute period is treated as a separate 'mini-match' and therefore your selection must score more goals than the other team within the chosen period to win. Any existing score in the match is not carried forward, and so for the purposes of Period Betting, every period is considered as starting 0-0, as no goals have yet been scored in the period.

For example, if your selected team wins a match 2-0, scoring in the 1st and 3rd periods, the period scores would be 1-0, 0-0 and 1-0. If you had bet on the team to win "2nd Period Betting - 20 mins only", although your team won the match, the winning selection for Period 2 would actually be "Draw".

Futsal Rules

All match markets will be settled on regulation time (specific to competition governing body) inclusive of time added by the referee but excluding Overtime/Extra-Time and Penalties, unless stated otherwise. This includes Match Odd/Even, which in the event of no score will be settled as Even.

Half bets will be settled at the end of the specified half (including any time added by the referee but excluding any extra-time played). In the event of a specific half not being completed bets will be void, unless settlement is already determined.

Timed Markets

For settlement purposes the 1st minute of the game is from 1 second to 59 seconds. The 2nd minute is from 1 minute to 1 minute 59 seconds and so on. For example, if a bet is placed on a goal being scored between 1 and 10 minutes and a goal is scored at 10 minutes 49 seconds, the bet is a loser as this falls within the 11 to 20 minutes time frame.

Winning Margins betting

All bets are settled on the final result at the end of normal time (including any injury time). Extra time does not count.

The result of this market is determined by the winning team's points superiority. (1 goal = 3 points). For example, if the result of a game is Kerry 2 goals and 6 points (total points = 12) beat Dublin 1 goal and 7 points (total points = 10) then Kerry have won by 2 points.

Total Score in Game

All bets are settled on the final result at the end of normal time (including any injury time). Extra time does not count.

The result of this market is determined by the final points total of the game. (1 goal = 3 points) For example, if the result of a game is Kerry 1 goal and 14 points (total points = 17) lose to Dublin 3 goals and 10 points (total points = 19) then the total score in game is 36 points.

Handicap betting

GAA Handicap betting is in the form of a whole-point handicap (e.g. +/- 3points, +/- 7 points, etc.). Tie prices are also available.

The winning selection is determined by adding the handicap to final points score.

A typical market will be:
Kerry (+3pts) 5/6
Dublin (-3pts) 5/6

If the final score in this fixture was Kerry 1 goal and 10 points (total points = 13) lose to Dublin 1 goal and 12 points (total points = 15) then to determine the handicap result simply add 3pts to Kerry's final score. This leaves the handicap result as Kerry 16 points, Dublin 15 points so "Kerry (+3pts)" would be the winning selection.

First/Last Scoring Play

This market is based on selecting the first or final scoring play and the team that will score it. For the purpose of this market, 'Dead Ball' will count as frees, penalties, sideline kicks/cuts, 45's/65's.

We will then settle with 1/3 stake lost and 2/3 stake settled at full place odds for each-way bets on those players.

Withdrawn/Disqualified player

If a player is withdrawn before the start of the tournament, we will settle your bet as void and refund your stake. If the player has already teed off, they are considered to have taken part in the tournament and your bet will be settled as a loser.

Tournaments

Outright

All tournament bets are settled on the player winning the trophy. If a tournament is reduced from the scheduled number of holes, we will settle any outright bets placed after the final completed round as void. Any bets placed before the final completed round, will be settled on the result published by the official governing body immediately the match/competition is finished. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.

Other

Tournament, match and group betting will be settled on the player achieving the highest placing at the end of the tournament including play-off holes if played. This will apply, even if both (or all) players 'miss the cut'.

All bets relating to an individual’s specific round(s) will be settled on the number of strokes registered on the score-card as signed by that competitor upon the completion of play.

Tournament Match Betting

If one player is disqualified or withdraws, prior to the completion of two rounds, their opponent is deemed the winner, even if they fail to make the cut. If both players make the cut and a player is disqualified or withdraws during the 3rd or 4th rounds, we treat the other player as the winner for settlement purposes. If the other player in the Match bet has already missed the cut, the player who has been disqualified or withdrawn, but makes the cut will be the winner. If both players are disqualified then the Match bet is void, regardless of when the player is disqualified.

In Match betting we will always quote a price for the tie. Your bet is successful if both players finish tied for the same position.

Tournament Group Betting

If one of the players in a Group does not tee off in the tournament, then any bets placed on that specific player will be void. If you have placed a winning bet on other players in that Group, we may apply the equivalent to a Tattersalls Rule 4(c) to your winnings, based on the price of the player withdrawn.

Tournament Handicap Betting

If a player misses the cut, is disqualified, or withdraws during the tournament, then bets on that player will be settled as losers. Only the scheduled 72 holes count. Play-off holes do not count. If the tournament is shortened to less than 72 holes then all bets on the Handicap betting market are void. Only the players listed on the Handicap list count for betting purposes. Dead heat rules apply.

2 & 3 Ball Betting

In 2 Ball betting a price will be offered for a tie. In 3 Ball betting if players have an identical score in the round, the result will be a tie and dead heat rules will apply.

Bets stand once the players have teed off on their first hole. If a player does not tee off, then bets on the 2 or 3 Ball they were due to take part in are void. If a round is abandoned, bets on that round are void.

Race To Dubai / US Money List

Bets placed on the Race To Dubai / US Money List, are bets to predict which golfer tops the official money list at the end of the season, all in compete or not. In Europe it is called the 'Race To Dubai', and in the United States it is called the 'US Money List'. Bets will be determined by the overall winner following the last relevant tournament and will not be affected by any subsequent enquiries or alterations.

Rapid Fire Golf Markets

General

If the start of a round is delayed, or if play during a round is suspended, all pending bets will remain valid for 24 hours. If the postponement lasts more than 24 hours, however, all pending bets will be cancelled and refunded in full.

All bets will be settled using official tournament results and data.

The "Putting Green" is defined as the area of the golf course in which players are permitted to mark their ball.

Individual Player Markets

"Tee shot on Fairway Hit"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player's tee shot on the current hole will stop on the fairway (which does not include the first cut of rough).

"GIR" (Green In Regulation)

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will reach the green in regulation on the current hole. Reaching the green in regulation is defined as reaching the Putting Green at least two strokes under par.

"Birdie or Better"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score one stroke under par or better on the current hole, and may be placed before the player's tee shot.

"Exactly Par"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score exactly par for the current hole, and may be placed before the player's tee shot.

"Bogey or Worse"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score one stroke over par or worse on the current hole, and may be placed before the player's tee shot.

One Putt

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will take exactly one shot from the Putting Green on the current hole, and may be placed before the player's tee shot.

Two Putt

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will take exactly two shots from the Putting Green on the current hole, and may be placed before the player's tee shot.

NOTE: For the Individual Player Markets, all bets will be refunded if the player in question withdraws before finishing the hole.

Group Markets

"Which player will win the hole?"

This bet allows you to bet on which player (if any) in a grouping will win the current hole outright. For a player to win a hole outright, he must have a score that is lower than the score(s) of every other player on that hole. If two or all three players are tied for the lowest score on the hole, there is no outright winner, and "No Outright Winner" will be deemed the winning selection.

"What will be the combined group score?"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the combined total group score of all players on a current hole will be:

   For Par 3s and 4s: "-1 or Better" (one stroke under par or less);"Par" (exactly par);"+1" (exactly one stroke over par); or"+2 or Worse" (two strokes or more over par)."-2 or Better" (two strokes under par or less);
   "-1" (exactly one stroke under par);
   "Par" (exactly par); or
   "+1 or Worse" (one stroke or more over par).

For example, if the current hole is a par 4 and Player A scores a 4, Player B scores a 3 and Player C scores a 5, the combined total score for that hole is exactly par, and all bets on "Par" will be graded as winners.

NOTE: For Group Markets, all bets will be considered live once all of the players in the group have teed off, regardless of whether every player in the group finishes the hole. If all players in the group withdraw before finishing the hole, however, then all Group Market bets will be refunded in full.

Rapid Shot Markets

"Birdie"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score one stroke under par on the current hole, and may be offered at any time during the hole.

"Par"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score exactly par on the current hole, and may be offered at any time during the hole.

"Par or Better"

This bet allows you to bet on whether the selected player will score par or better on the current hole, and may be offered at any time during the hole.

NOTE: For the Rapid Shot Markets, all bets will be refunded if the player in question withdraws before finishing the hole.

Player Bogey/Par/Birdie/Eagle Markets

Where a price is quoted for a player to score a specified number of events during a round (for example "to score 3 birdies") this refers to that event needing to occur the specified number of times. For example where the market is "Player to score 3 birdies" and the player scores 2 birdies, 1 eagle and 15 pars in the round, this bet would be a loser unless the selection specifically states "to score 3 birdies or better".
Definitions
Albatross - A score of 3 under par on a hole
Eagle- A score of 2 under par on a hole
Birdie - A score of 1 under par on a hole
Par - A score match par on a hole
Bogey - A score of 1 over par on a hole

Bets placed on a void race, which is re-scheduled to be run later on the same day, will be settled as follows:

Single Bets (Including Single Forecasts and Tricasts)

- All bets stand, unless a refund is requested prior to the off of the re-scheduled race.

Multiple Bets

- All selections in Void Races within multiple bets will stand for the re-scheduled race.

In the event that the race is not re-scheduled, all selections in that race will be treated as non-runners within multiple bets.

Reserve Greyhounds

Customers have two options when placing bets on greyhound racing. You can either place the bet by trap number or by dog name. If placing a bet by trap number, then your bet will be settled on the trap regardless of whether or not a reserve is running. If you place a bet by dog name and the dog is a non-runner, your bet will be void.

Greyhound Specials

In the event of any non-runner, match and special bets will be void.

Acceptance of bets

   Bets placed after the official 'off' time will be voided unless Betting In Play is available. Bets placed after this time will be declared void, irrespective of whether the bet wins or loses.
   Bets from these tracks not covered in our live service will be accepted up to the advertised start time. Bets accepted in error after the advertised start time will stand if it can be established that the bet was placed before the official off time.

Ante Post

Standard Ante Post rules apply with the following addition:

Where a reserve greyhound is re-introduced into a competition, all bets remain ‘all in run or not’. If the re-introduced greyhound goes on to win or be placed in the race, all bets stand.

Trap Challenge

The market involves predicting which trap number will provide the most winners at a meeting.
   Win bets only are accepted.
   Dead heat rules will apply to all bets.
   If a race finishes as a dead heat, each trap will receive a ‘half-win’, likewise, if it is a three-way dead heat, each trap will receive a ‘one-third win’ and so on.
   The result will stand irrespective of any void races, providing a minimum of three races have been completed. At either meeting.
   If one of the combined meetings is abandoned and or does not complete the required minimum number of races, the bet will be void.

Moneybox

Predict the trap that achieves the highest number of points at one selected meeting or two selected meetings combined.

The following points scoring system, based on the official result, will apply regardless of the number of runners in each race:

   3 for a win
   2 for a second
   1 for a third

Where BAGS or TV races form only part of a meeting bets will be based on the BAGS/TV races only. Likewise the same principle will apply if we advertise that bets are based on a specific number of races.

Bets are unaffected by reserves, vacant traps, void races or meetings abandoned once they have started.

Where no race(s) take place after a bet is struck the bet is void.

In the event of a meeting not starting all bets containing this meeting are void.

If a race contains a dead heat, each trap will receive a "half win/place" (3 way dead heat "one third win/place" etc..) and the points will be divided equally between them. For example, two selections that dead heat for first will be awarded 2.5 points each (points for first and second added and divided by two).

If two or more traps record the same number of points, dead heat rules apply.

Where a race has been declared a no-race and is re-run, all bets will stand for the greyhounds that take part in the re-run.

A re-run greyhound race is taken in the order in which it was originally placed in the programme, irrespective of the time at which it was re-run.

Starting Price (SP)

The Starting Price (SP) is determined from the final prices available in the on-course market at the start of the race. It is used to settle all bets where a price has not been taken at the time of acceptance. If no on-course SP is returned, bets will be settled at the Industry (off-course) SP. In the event of neither an on-course SP, nor an Industry SP being returned, selections where a price has not been taken will be declared void. Bets on ‘Unnamed Favourites’ will also be declared void.

Aggregate Winning Distances

A prediction on the total winning margins (distance between first and second placed greyhounds) of each race at a particular meeting, usually offered on Racing Post TV meetings.

This market will be displayed in three bands:

e.g. Crayford Aggregate winning distances:

   Under x lengths 6/4
   Between x and y lengths inclusive 6/4
   Over y lengths 9/4

For races won by less than a length, the following is awarded:

   Dead Heat = 0
   Short head = 0.1 lengths
   Head = 0.2 lengths
   Neck = 0.3 lengths
   1/4 length = 0.25 lengths
   ½ length = 0.5 lengths
   ¾ length = 0.75 lengths

The maximum winning distance for a race is 10 lengths.

If a meeting has one or two walkovers, races abandoned or declared void, then bets will be settled with a default distance used for each walkover, abandoned or void race: 2 lengths. If a meeting has three or more walkovers, races abandoned or declared void, then all bets will be void unless the winning over bands for the market has already been established, in which case all bets will stand.

Greyhound Competition Markets

If prices have been available to win a competition, bets accepted prior to the draw for the penultimate round (ie: semi-final) will be on an ‘all in run or not’ basis, with non-runners considered losers.
If bets are placed at prices issued after the draw for the semi-final but prior to the draw for the final, standard Ante Post rules will not apply. Any non-runners will be settled as void.

Multi Traps

The market involves predicting the aggregate of the multiplied 1st and 2nd placed Trap numbers.

For example: the minimum result would be that Trap 1 beats Trap 2 (1x2 =2) and the maximum result would be that Trap 6 beats Trap 5 (5 x 6=30).

   In the event of a void race or ‘no race’, 12 points will be awarded.
   In the event of a dead heat for 1st and/or 2nd place, the average points of the selections involved will be awarded. For example: if Trap 6 wins and Trap five and four dead heat for 2nd place, 27 points will be awarded.
   If there are three or more races abandoned all bets will be void unless the result is already determined.

Winning by a Certain Distance (Individual Greyhounds)

The final medal table declared by the governing body at the end of the event will be used to settle bets on how many medals a competitor or country may win. Any subsequent changes to the medal table will not be taken into consideration.

Head to Head betting

Where both competitors reach the final, settlement will be based on their finishing positions in the final.

If both competitors are eliminated in the same round of a competition before the final, bets will be made void.

Where competitors are eliminated in different rounds of a competition, the competitor progressing furthest will be the winner for settlement purposes. For example, where one competitor is eliminated in a heat, and the other competitor is eliminated in the semi-final, the competitor reaching the semi-final will be deemed the winner.

Postponed Events

In the Olympics, if any event/match is postponed bets will stand providing the event is rescheduled to take place before the closing ceremony. This rule supersedes any of the individual sports’ postponement rules.

Results

All races/events will be settled according to the medal ceremony, any subsequent disqualifications will not count for settlement purposes. Should the result of an event be amended following an enquiry, competitors awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze at the original medal ceremony will be deemed 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively for settlement purposes.

In the event of more than one medal being awarded for the same position, for example there is potential for 2 bronze medals in boxing, dead heat rules apply.

Rallying

If your driver has not started in the first stage of the Rally, your bet will be void.

Bets are accepted on the basis of 'All in, compete or not', so if a rider pulls out before the start of the meeting, bets on that rider will be settled as a losers.

We will settle individual Rally betting on the result of the podium presentation, regardless of any subsequent disqualifications. If a podium presentation does not take place, all bets will be settled on the official result declared at the end of the race.

This will not be affected by any enquiries which then take place.

If a regatta is cancelled for any reason all bets will be void, except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined.

7s Rugby

We accept singles on all games unless otherwise stated.

Unless otherwise stated all rugby bets are settled on 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), which includes any injury time added on by the referee.

Where odds for both outright and handicap betting are available, all bets will be settled on the outright price unless you have specifically requested handicap at the time your bet was placed. However, where only handicap betting is available all bets will be settled on the advertised Handicap price and conditions.

Winning margin/correct score betting is from scratch.

If a match is abandoned before 80 (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) minutes are played, all bets on that match are void, except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined. First Tryscorer bets will stand if a try has been scored at the time the match is abandoned.

If a match is postponed and rescheduled to take place within 36 hours of the original start time, your bet on the match will stand.

If the match is no longer playing at the venue advertised, you bet will still stand. This applies as long as the venue has not been changed to the opponent's ground (or in the case of international matches, as long as the venue remains in the same country).

Tryscorer Betting

Penalty tries do not count. In the event of a penalty try, settlement goes on to the next awarded try.

We will make every effort to quote prices for all probable players. However, prices for unquoted players will always be available on request and those players will count as winners in the event that they score.

First Tryscorer

In both Rugby League and Rugby Union, bets will be void if a player has not entered the field of play at any point prior to the first try being scored.

Anytime/Last Tryscorer

Bets will stand if a player takes any part in a game, no matter how long they play for. Money will be refunded only if a player does not enter the field of play at any stage.

Next Tryscorer

Requires you to predict the player that will score the next try in the match. Only available In-Play. 80 minutes only (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), unless otherwise stated.

All players that have taken some part in the game before the next try is scored will be deemed runners. Bets on players that do not take any part in the game before the next try is scored will be void.

If there are no further tries scored "No Tryscorer" will be the winning selection. If no price is offered for "No Tryscorer" and no further tries are scored then all bets on the market will be void.

Time of 1st Try

If no try is scored in the match then the result will be deemed to be 80mins (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). Therefore if the selections on offer are, for example, ’19 minutes and under’ and ’20 minutes and over’, then the latter will be settled as the winner.

Wincast (Anytime Tryscorer and Match Result)

To win you must successfully forecast a player to score a try anytime during 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) and also the result of the match after 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches).

Bets stand as long as your selected player plays some part in the match. If your selected player does not take any part in the match, Wincast bets revert to a single on the match result.

If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), Wincast bets are settled as Anytime Tryscorer singles as long as the player played some part in the match and therefore had an opportunity to score a Try.

Trycast (First Player to Score a Try and Match Result)

To win you must successfully forecast both the player who will score the first try in a selected match and also the correct result after 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches).

If your selected player joins the match after the first try has been scored or does not take part in the game, Trycast bets will revert to match singles.

For First Tryscorer purposes, penalty tries do not count, so in this circumstance, the Trycast will be settled on the scorer of the following try and the result of the game.

If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes and a try has been scored, Trycast bets are settled as First Tryscorer singles. If no try has been scored, all bets are void.

Match Betting - 2 Way

Markets are settled on the score at 19:59 for the 20 minute market, 39:59 for the 40 minute market and 59:59 for the 60 minute market.

Timed Markets

Markets such as "Try between 00:00 and 19:59" and "Total Points between 60:00 and 80:00 - Over/Under" work on the basis of the selected scores occurring in the time frames 00:00-19:59; 20:00-the end of the first half including additional time; 40:00-59:59; and 60:00-the end of normal time (80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) including additional time).

Cashout Handicaps

Static Handicaps may be available for Cash Out (the line does not move, only the odds) and are settled in line with the Handicap Market and Cashout Rules.

Extra Time Betting

‘Extra Time’ is defined as any scheduled period of play between the end of normal time (i.e. 80 minutes play plus any time added on at the end of 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches)) and the end of the game. ‘Extra Time’ does not include penalty shootouts.

All Extra Time betting markets, such as total points, or time of first try will start from the beginning of extra time and not include normal time. For example, if the game finishes 24-24 at the end of normal time, and if there are ten points scored in extra time, then the extra time total points market will be settled as ten points.

Season Match Betting

This market allows you to bet on which side will finish higher in the table during the regular season. Performances in the play-offs are not taken in to account for settlement purposes.

Man Of The Match

The market will be settled as follows:

   We will settle in accordance with the man of the match announced in commentary during the live broadcasting of the match.
   If there is no announcement during the match, we will settle in accordance with the man of the match award presented during the live broadcasting of the match.
   If there is no presentation during the broadcast, we will settle in accordance with the player quoted as man of the match on the broadcasting channel’s official website. For example, if the match was shown on Sky Sports, the official website would be www.skysports.com.
   If the broadcaster's official website does not quote a player as being man of the match, we will settle on the player quoted as man of the match on the website of the governing body for that competition. For example, the IRB for all international Rugby Union, ERC for European Club Rugby Union competitions and NRL for Australian Rugby League.

In the event that the match is shown live on two channels we will settle in the following way:

We will settle on the player quoted as man of the match on the website of the governing body for that competition. For example, the IRB for all international Rugby Union, ERC for European Club Rugby Union competitions and NRL for Australian Rugby League.
If we are still unable to settle the market via the methods described above, then all bets on the Man of the Match market will be void.
Bets placed on players that take any part in the match will stand. A bet on a player that does not take any part in the match will be void.
We will also be able to offer a price, upon request, on any player not quoted in the market. Any unquoted player will be deemed the winner should they receive the man of the match award.

If a game is completed after an interruption for any reason, that game shall be deemed to be complete for betting purposes.

If a game is completed by the awarding of a penalty point by the umpire, the game shall be deemed to be complete. However if a game is completed by the awarding of a penalty game by the umpire, the game shall be void, and all stakes shall be returned.

If a player retires from a match while a game is in progress, but before that game has been completed, that game shall be deemed to be incomplete and all stakes shall be returned.
Bets on a game which subsequently becomes a tie break will be settled as void.

Set by Set Betting

If a player retires from a match while a set is in progress, but before that set has been completed, that set shall be deemed to be incomplete and all stakes shall be returned.

Handicap Betting

This bet is based on the number of games each player wins in a given match. E.g. a player given a 3.5 game start on the handicap, who loses 7-6, 7-6, 7-6, would be the winner for handicap betting purposes.

If a player is awarded the match due to a withdrawal prior to the full number of sets being completed, all handicap bets on that match will be void unless, at the time of the withdrawal, the result of the handicap betting is already determined.

IPTL (International Premier Tennis League)

Substitute Players

If during a set a player is substituted, ALL bets including "bet in play" will stand.

If a set doesn't start with the players indicated, ALL bets on that set will be void.

Set Winner

If the Team Match goes to Overtime, the final Set Winner will be settled as the first Player to 6 Games; from this point onwards all bets struck In-Play will be on the Team to win the Match.

Total Games

Bet on whether the total number of games in a match will be over or under a particular number, e.g. 21 or less/ 22 or over.

If a player is awarded the match due to a withdrawal prior to the full number of sets being completed, all total games bets on that match will be void unless, at the time of the withdrawal, the result of the total games is already determined.

e.g. if the match is abandoned at 6–4 4–4, bets on Over/Under 19.5 games or fewer in the match are settled as winners/losers respectively, since any conclusion to the match would have to have had at least 20 games.

To Win/Lose 1st Set and Win the Match

If either player withdraws from the match before the first set finishes, then bets will be void. If the first set has been completed, then the match part of the bet will be determined by the players awarded the match.

Match Tiebreaks

In some competitions, an extended tie-break (Match Tiebreak - sometimes referred to as a "Super Tiebreak") is played in place of a final deciding set. For settlement purposes, this Match Tiebreak will be considered as one set (for set-related markets) and one game (for game-related markets).

For example, in a 'Best of three sets' match, if Team A won the first set 6-0, Team B won the second set 6-0 and then Team B went on to win the Match Tiebreak. then the market Set Betting would be settled as 2-1 in Team B's favour. The market Total Games would be settled against a total of 13 games.

For tennis matches that use the Match Tiebreak (in place of a final set), in the event that the next game turns out to be a Match Tiebreak, bets on the following markets will all be settled as void:

   Next Game Winner
   Next Game Score Betting
   Next Game Points
   Next Game to go to Deuce

If the next game is a regular game (i.e. not a Match Tiebreak) then bets will be settled as usual.

Example:

   Suppose Team A has won the first set 6-0 and Team B is winning the second set 5-0, with the 12th game of the match currently in progress.

   If Team A wins the 12th game, taking the second set score to 5-1, then bets placed on the markets 'Next Game Winner', 'Next Game Score Betting', 'Next Game Points' and 'Next Game to go to Deuce' will be settled according to the result of game 13 (which will be the 7th game in set two).

   If Team B wins the 12th game, taking the match to one set all, the markets will all be settled as void.

Volleyball

If a match is postponed and rescheduled to take place within 72 hours of the original start time, your bet on the match will stand. However if a match in the Olympics or World Championships is postponed bets will stand providing the match is rescheduled to take place before the closing ceremony.

In the event of a match not taking place or if a player/team is given a walkover, bets on that match are void.

Where a player/team is withdrawn prior to the start of a tournament, we reserve the right to apply a Rule 4 deduction.

Water Polo

Bets will be settled according to the official result as declared by the Water Polo governing body.

Where odds for both outright and handicap betting are available, all bets are settled on the outright price, unless the handicap or qualifying price has been specifically selected at the time your bet was placed. However, where only Handicap betting is available all bets will be settled on the advertised Handicap price and conditions. Winning margin betting is from scratch.

Match betting

Unless otherwise stated, all match bets will be settled on the result at regular time.

If a match is abandoned before regular time is played, all bets on that match are void, except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined.

If a match is postponed and rescheduled to take place within 72 hours of the original start time, your bet on the match will stand.
