apply to any category of bets or markets not referred to in the Sports &
eSports Specific Rules (i.e., special bets).
2) The use of the Site is
subject to Arizona law and the regulations promulgated by the Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”).
3) If you have any

4) If you have any
complaint, dispute, or other concern (an “Issue”) relating to your use of the
Site, please contact us by email at dispute@playdesertdiamond.com or through the
chat functions on www.playdesertdiamond.com or the App. You must contact
Patron Support within thirty (30) days after the date of the event giving rise
to your Issue. After thirty (30) days, you will waive your right pursue your
Issue and Desert Diamond will be under no obligation to consider your Issue. We
will attempt to address your issue in accordance with Section 24 of the Terms of Service (Disputes; Dispute Resolution). If your
issue involves the payment of alleged winnings, or your account, your wagers,
your wins, or your losses, and if we are unable to resolve the issue to your
satisfaction, you may file a written complaint with ADG at https://gaming.az.gov/ewfs/patron-dispute-form.
5) If you would like to
learn about your ability to set responsible gaming limits for yourself through
the Site, please review our Responsible
Gaming Policy. If you would like information about the process
to self-exclude yourself from all event wagering in Arizona, including
Desert Diamond, you may learn about ADG’s self-exclusion process and obtain the
paperwork to self-exclude here. If you, or someone you know, has a gambling problem and wants
help, please call the Arizona Division of Problem Gambling at 1-800-NEXT-STEP
or text NEXTSTEP to 53342 or visit Arizona Division of Problem Gambling: https://problemgambling.az.gov.
6) The minimum wager on the Site is $1.00. Desert Diamond reserves
the right to limit the maximum bet amount such that the net payout (after the
stake has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one patron, or any group of patrons
acting together, does not exceed $250,000. This limit may be lower by
Desert Diamond in its sole discretion. For further information please see Sport
Specific Limits, Section E.
7) Winning tickets will be
honored for one year after the outcome of the event(s) bet upon has been posted
and thereafter will be void.
8) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to make changes to the Site, betting limits, payout limits and
offerings.
9) Desert Diamond may
update, amend, edit and supplement these House Rules at any time, subject to
any necessary regulatory approval. Any such revision will be binding and
effective immediately once such revisions or revised House Rules are made
available to patrons through updates to the House Rules posted on the Site. Any
wagers accepted after changes to the House Rule have been made available to
patrons shall be governed by the revised House Rules.
10) Any reference in these
House Rules to words/objects that appear in singular also applies to plural.
References to gender are non-binding and to be treated for information purposes
only.

only while physically located within the State of Arizona and while not on
Indian lands. The State of Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time.
12) All wagers will be
evidenced by a transaction in the patron’s bet history. Once a wager is
accepted by both parties, bets will not be altered or voided except at the
discretion of Desert Diamond. All patrons are responsible for ensuring accuracy
of the bet.
13) Pre-game wagers are accepted up to the start of the game. If a
pre-game wager (i.e., not live in-game wagering) is inadvertently accepted
after the start of an event, the wager will be treated as “no action”.
14) If Desert Diamond has
reason to believe that a bet is placed after the outcome of an event is known,
it reserves the right to void the bet, win or lose.
15) Wagers may not be
accepted at other than posted odds and the patron is responsible for checking
the bet receipt.
16) The holder of an account

sufficient to exert influence over the participants in a sporting contest,
including coaches, managers, handlers, and athletic trainers, such that their
actions can affect the outcome of a wager;

2. Definitions
1) “Error” is a mistake,
misprint, misinterpretation, mishearing, misreading, mistranslation, spelling
mistake, technical hazard, registration error, transaction error, manifest
error, force majeure and/or similar. Examples of errors include, but are not limited
to:
o bets accepted during technical problems that would otherwise not
have been accepted;
o bets placed on events/offers that have already been decided;
o bets on markets/events containing incorrect participants and/or
not allowed within the applicable jurisdiction;
o bets placed at odds that are materially different from those
available in the general market at the time the bet was placed;
o bets offered at odds which reflect an incorrect score situation;
and
o odds being clearly incorrect given the chance of the event
occurring at the time the bet was placed.
2) “Influence Betting” is
an act where a patron, or parties acting in association with a patron, can
influence the outcome of a game or match or an event - directly or indirectly.
Influence Betting is prohibited on the Site. Where there is evidence of
Influence Betting, Desert Diamond reserves the right to void the relevant bets
and/or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of subsequent investigations.
3) “Syndicate Betting” is
an act where patrons act together to place a series of bets on the same event
or competition. Syndicate Betting is prohibited on the Site. Where there is evidence of Syndicate Betting, Desert Diamond
reserves the right to void the relevant bets and/or withhold payment of returns
pending the outcome of subsequent investigations.
3. Bet
Acceptance
1) A bet is not valid until
it is validated and shows in the patron’s bet history. In cases of uncertainty
about the validity of a bet, the patron is requested to check the open
(pending) bets or contact Desert Diamond.
2) Unless accepted in
Error, once accepted, a bet will remain valid and cannot be withdrawn. The
patron is responsible for ensuring that the details of bets placed are correct.
Under no circumstance will Desert Diamond be responsible for any mistakes
(perceived or actual) deriving from either Errors as listed under the
Conditions of Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 2, Clause 1, or any
other reason, such as but not limited to, incorrect listing of the odds/betting
objects.
3) Should a dispute arise
about the acceptance (or lack thereof) of any transaction in the patron’s
account, the transaction log database will be the ultimate authority in
deciding such matters.
4. Betting
and Payout Limitations
1) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to limit the net payout (the payout after the stake has been
deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one patron which does not exceed
$250,000 for select bets. This limit may be lower depending on the specific sport,
league and type of bet offer. See Section E – Sport Specific Limits for
additional detail of payout limits by sport, league and bet type.
2) All bet selections are
subject to pre-imposed limits set solely at Desert Diamond’s discretion which
may be lower than the limits mentioned in Sport Specific
Limits, Section E. Should this limit be reached, a patron
has the right to ask for it to be increased by making a request through the
Desert Diamond sports betting platform. Desert Diamond reserves the right to
accept (fully or partially) or reject the request without any prior notice and
further explanation.
3) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to decline, solely at its own discretion, all, or part of, any bet
requested. This includes the possibility that a “System bet” as defined
in the General Betting Rules, Section
B, Paragraph 4, is not accepted in full, either in terms of stake or
combination included in the “System bet”.
4) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to restrict, limit or exclude patrons, totally
or partially, from their user accounts at its own discretion.
5) All bets placed through
any Desert Diamond platform, including bets requiring manual approval, may be
subject to a time delay prior to acceptance, the length of which may vary. Such
delay is to be determined by Desert Diamond at its sole discretion.
6) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to withhold payment and/or to declare bets void on an event (or
series of events) if there is sufficient evidence that any of the following has
occurred:
a. the integrity of the
event has been called into question;
b. the price(s) or pool has
been manipulated;
c. game-fixing has taken
place, or the game/match is under investigation for such;
d. results/outcomes need
further investigation with a third-party organization, including, but not
limited to, the organizing association and/or the relevant regulatory body.
Evidence of the above may be based on the size, volume or pattern of bets placed with Desert
Diamond, across any or all of its betting channels, as well as the size, volume
or pattern of bets placed with, or information received from, other betting
providers or officially recognized organizations.
7) All odds offered are
subject to variation. Such fluctuation is determined solely at Desert Diamond’s
discretion. Bets are accepted only at the odds available in the betting grid at
the time the bet was accepted by Desert Diamond, regardless of any other claim
or previous publication present on the Site or any other media detailing
otherwise.
8) All payout calculations
when settling bets will be done based using decimal odds, regardless of any
other format displayed/chosen at time of bet placement.
5. Cancellation
(Voiding) of Bets
1) A bet can be declared void. In the event that it is
void, the stake will be refunded to the patron.
2) A bet made as a Parlay Bet involving two or more
distinct sporting events shall remain valid even if a game/match or event which
is part of the Parlay Bet is declared void, with that particular selection
excluded from the parlay and the computation of odds/payout re-adjusted
accordingly.
3) Desert Diamond reserves
the right, in its discretion, to declare a bet void, totally or partly, if an
obvious error was made. This includes, but is not limited to:
a. Bets have been offered,
placed and/or accepted due to an Error and/or at odds which significantly
differ from those currently present elsewhere in the market;
b. Bets placed while the Site was encountering
technical problems, that would otherwise not have been accepted;
c. Influence Betting;
d. Syndicate Betting;
e. A result has been
affected by criminal actions - directly or indirectly;
f. A public announcement
has occurred in relation to the bet which alters significantly the odds.
4) Related contingencies:
Unless placed through Desert Diamond’s permitted parlay functionality, or
offered explicitly as a specific related contingency offering, Desert Diamond
prohibits parlay bets that include two or more outcomes which might turn out to
be related (e.g., Team X to become Stanley Cup Champions and Player Y to be Top
Goal Scorer in the same league). Although Desert Diamond takes reasonable steps
to prevent such possibilities, in the eventuality that this could happen,
Desert Diamond reserves the right, in its discretion, to declare void all parts
of a parlay bet which include the correlated outcomes whose odds are not
indicative of the related contingency.
5) Bets can be voided regardless of whether the
event has been settled or not.
6) Should a market be available for betting when it should have been
removed or with incorrect odds, Desert Diamond reserves the right to void all
such bets as well as those in accordance with the Conditions of
Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 5, Clause 3, including, but not
limited to:
(a) Pre-Game Wagers
i. Bets placed or accepted
after the event has started;
ii. Bets placed after
a related event was underway and where conditions could have been altered in a
direct and indisputable way.
(b) In-play (in-game) Wagers
i. Bets placed/accepted at
incorrect odds due to delayed or failing “live” coverage;
ii. Bets placed on odds which
represented a different score than the actual;
iii. Bets placed on
particular offers after these have occurred or after an event which could
normally be deemed as leading to the outcome has happened or is happening;
iv. Bets placed following
the last instance that a participant had any chance to influence the
match/event scoring applicable to the relevant market and an eventual
withdrawal/disqualification/cancellation/format change or anything which
precludes the ability of the applicable participant to influence scoring will
be declared void;
6. Disclaimer
and Priority
1) Desert Diamond reserves
the right, at its own discretion, to adjust a payout credited to a patron’s
balance if it is obvious that the payout has been credited to the patron
account in Error.
2) In order to adjust any
inaccuracy in the patron’s balance following amounts credited due to an Error,
Desert Diamond reserves the right to take any necessary action, without prior
notice and within reasonable limits, to adjust the patron’s balance through the
reversal, amendment or cancellation of any subsequent transaction on the
patron’s account.
3) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to suspend access to a patron’s account until it completes any
investigations it deems necessary.
4) These rules are
applicable to all transactions with Desert Diamond and may be supplemented with
other rules. In the event of ambiguity, priority should be considered in the
following order:
a. Rules and conditions
published in conjunction with an offer and/or campaign;
b. Should these be
inconclusive, reference will be made to the General Betting Rules, Section
B, unless the Sport Specific Rules, Section C, declare
otherwise.
5) In cases where it deems
that these rules are inconclusive, Desert Diamond reserves the right, in its
discretion, to settle offers on an individual basis on the basis of equity,
using generally accepted betting norms, customs and definitions.
6) Adaptations into other
languages of these House Rules, or any other text which can be associated with
bet offers, are done for purely informative purposes. Although Desert Diamond
takes reasonable precautions to assure an accurate translation of these terms
into the specific language, Desert Diamond will not be responsible for any
inconsistency between the English version and any other language. Thus, in case
of discrepancy between the English edition and the respective translation, the
former will be deemed as binding and will be the basis upon which the offers
will be settled.
7) Any data provided or accessible
in, from or related to the Site may be used by the patron for private,
non-commercial use only and any use or attempted use of such data for
commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.
8) Desert Diamond has the
right to enforce the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the House Rules
against any patron.
Section B.
General Betting Rules
1. Common
Terms of Reference
1) Unless listed either in
conjunction with the bet offer, or in the Sport Specific Rules, Section
C, all bets should be considered valid for the result at the end of the
“Regular Time” or “Full Time” only. “Regular Time” or “Full Time” is defined as
interpreted by the official rules published by the respective governing
association. For example, in Soccer, Full Time is stipulated to be 90 minutes
including injury time, and in Ice Hockey it is stipulated as the 3 x 20-minute
periods. Should the governing association decide to stipulate, before the start
of the event, that such event is to be played over a different duration, this
will be treated as being the official rules for the event (e.g., a soccer match
played with a 3 x 20 minute format vs. the typical 2 x 40 minute format).
Nonetheless, such occurrence is limited to the “regular” playing time and does
not include any prolongation such as extra time or overtime, unless explicitly
stated.
2) “In-game betting” or
“live betting” is where it is possible to bet after the game has started (i.e.,
during the game or event). Desert Diamond will not be responsible if it is not
possible to place a bet or if the live score update is not correct. At all
times, the patron is responsible for being aware of the game and the events
surrounding it, such as the current score, its progression and how much time
remains before the game is completed. Desert Diamond will not be responsible
for changes to the in-game betting schedule or interruption of the in-game
betting service.
3) The “Cash Out” function
allows the patron the ability to redeem a bet prior to the outcome being
settled at its current value. It is available on designated events and offered
for pre-game and live as well as on single and multiple bets. Cash Out
functionality cannot be used on free bets. Cash Out requests might be subject
to the same delay procedure as listed in the Conditions of Agreement, Section
A, Paragraph 4, Clause 5. During this delay, for whatever reason, if
the offer is removed or odds fluctuate, the Cash Out request will not be
accepted, and the patron will be notified. Desert Diamond reserves the right to
offer such functionality solely at its own discretion and will not be
responsible if the Cash Out functionality is not available. If a Cash Out
request is successful, the bet will be settled immediately and any subsequent events
which occur in relation with the bet will not be considered. In the
circumstance of a Cash Out bet having negatively impacted from a technical,
pricing or settlement error at any time between the time of original offering
and the final settlement, Desert Diamond reserves the right to rectify such
inaccuracy in accordance with the Conditions of Agreement, Section A,
Paragraph 6, Clause 2.
4) A “participant” is an
object constituting part of an event. A “participant” may be a single player, a
team or any group of individuals grouped or listed together. In “Head-to-Head”
and “Triple-Head”, the participant only refers to objects that are subject to
the “Head-to-Head” or “Triple-Head” in the event. Any reference to a
participant(s) in these House Rules should be construed accordingly, regardless
of whether the term is used in the singular or plural.
5) The deadline (cut-off
time) shown on the Site is to be treated for information purposes only. Desert
Diamond reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend, partially or
completely, the betting activity at any time where it deems necessary.
6) Statistics or editorial
text published on the Site are to be considered as added information, and
Desert Diamond will not be responsible if the information is not correct. The
patron is responsible, at all times, to be aware of circumstances relating to
an event.
7) The theoretical return
to the player in fixed odds betting is determined by the odds of all possible
outcomes in the offer. For example, the theoretical payback to a player on a
bet with 3 outcomes (a, b and c) can be calculated as follows.
Theoretical % = 1 / (1/
“odds outcome a” + 1/”odds outcome b” + 1/”odds outcome c”) x 100
2. Bet
Types
1) “Straight” or
“Single-Game” bet is a single wager on any spread, moneyline or total
(over/under) outcome.
2) “Moneyline” or “Game” is
where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) outcome of a game or
event whereby there will only be one winner.
3) “3-way Moneyline” (or
“1X2”) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) outcome of a
game or event inclusive of the option of a tie. The options are: “1” = Home
Team; “X” = Tie; “2” = Away Team.
4) “Correct Score” (or
“Result Betting”) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite)
exact score of a game or event.
5) “Over/Under” (or
“Totals”) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of
a predefined occurrence (e.g., goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty
minutes, etc.). Should the total amount of the listed occurrences be exactly
equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void.
Example: an offer where the betting line is 44.0 points and the game ends with
the result 22-22 will be declared void.
6) “Odd/Even” is where it
is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a predefined
occurrence (e.g., goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes,
etc.).”Odd” is 1, 3, 5 etc.; “Even” is 0, 2, 4 etc.
7) A “Head-to-Head” and/or
“Triple-Head” is a competition between two or three participants/outcomes,
originating from either an officially organized event or as virtually defined
by Desert Diamond. An example of a Triple-Head offer is who of three golfers
will finish highest in a particular event.
8) “Half Time/Full Time” is
where it is possible to bet on the Half Time result and the
final outcome of the game. For example, if at Half Time the score is 10-7 and the
final score is 17-21, the winning outcome is 1/2 (assuming the score is listed
Home Team-Away Team, the Home Team led at the half and the Away Team won the
overall game or “Full Time”). Bets on this market will be declared void should
the game is played with a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome
based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
9) “Period betting” is
where it is possible to bet on the outcome of each separate period within a
game/event. For example, if the period scores in an Ice Hockey game are 2-0,
0-1 and 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/2/X. Bets on this market will be declared
void should the game be played with a format where it is impossible to
determine an outcome based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
10) “Tie No Bet” (or “Draw
No Bet”) is where it is possible to bet on either “1” (Home win) or “2” (Away
win) as defined in the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 2.
Clause 10. It is also common practice to refer to Tie No Bet in cases where
no tie odds are offered. Should the specific game produce no winner (e.g., game
ends as a draw) or the occurrence not happen (e.g., First Goal, Draw No Bet and
match ends 0-0), all wagers will be refunded.
11) “Spread” (or “Points
Spread” for Football and Basketball, “Runline” for Baseball, “Puckline” for
Hockey betting” or “Handicap”) is where it is possible to bet on whether the
chosen outcome will be victorious once the listed spread/line is
added/subtracted (as applicable) to the game/period/total score to which the
bet refers. In those circumstances where the result after the adjustment of the
spread/line is exactly equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer
will be declared void and wagers refunded. For example, a bet on -3.0 points
will be declared void if the chosen team wins the game by exactly 3 points
difference (10-7 or 24-27, etc.). Any reference in this section to the term
“margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome emerging from the
subtraction of the points/runs/goals scored by the 2 teams/participants.
Unless otherwise stated, all
spreads/lines/handicaps listed on the Site are to be calculated based on the
result from the start of the listed game/quarter/period to the end of the
specified game/quarter/period. It is customary that for certain spread/handicap
bet offers in specific sports such as Asian Handicap in Soccer, only the
outcomes obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed
timeframe will be taken into consideration, thus disregarding any points/goals
scored before the time the bet was placed and accepted. Any bet offer with
these characteristics will be highlighted on the patron’s ticket or bet history
with the score at the time of bet placement.
There are 3 different spread (or handicapping) formats:
2-way Spread: Team A
(-7.5) vs Team B (+7.5)
· Team A is given a -7.5
point “handicap” in the game. For a bet to be won, Team A must win the game by
more points than the listed spread (i.e., 8 points or more).
· Team B is given a +7.5
point advantage in the game. For the bet to win, Team B must either win the
game outright or not lose by more points than their listed advantage (i.e.,
lose by 7 points or less).
· In the case the
spread/line is a whole number (e.g., 7.0), the wager is refunded in the event
that the game ends in a tie when taking the spread into account. For example,
Team A has a spread of -7.0 and wins the game by exactly 7 points, (e.g.,
27-20), the wagers will be refunded. Likewise, if the patron places a wager on
Team B at +7.0 and Team B loses by exactly 7 points, the wager is refunded.
3-way Handicap (primarily betting on Soccer): Team A (-2) Draw
(Exactly 2) Team B (+2)
· Team A is given a 2 goal
“handicap” in a game. For the bet to be won, Team A must win the game by a
bigger margin than the listed handicap i.e., 3 goals or more).
· Tie (or Draw) would be
the victorious outcome should the game end up with exactly the listed margin (i.e.,
match ends with results such as 2-0, 3-1 or 4-2).
· Team B is given a 2 goal
advantage in the game. For the bet to be won, Team B must either win the game
outright, the game finish in a draw or not lose by a margin equal or bigger
than their listed advantage (i.e., lose by a maximum of 1 goal).
Asian Handicap (primarily betting on Soccer): Team A (-1.75) vs
Team B (+1.75)
· Team A is given a -1.75
goal handicap in the game. This means that the stake is divided into 2 equal
bets and placed on the outcomes -1.5 and -2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out
at the listed odds, Team A must win the game with a bigger margin than both of
their listed handicaps (i.e., a margin of 3 goals or more). If Team A wins with
only a 2 goal margin, the bet will be considered partially won with a full
payout on the -1.5 part of the bet and a refund on the -2.0 side since the
outcome on that part of the bet would be considered a “tie”. Should the game
result in any other outcome, including a Team A victory with only a 1 goal
margin, the whole wager would be lost.
· Team B is given a +1.75
goal advantage in the game. This means that the stake is divided into 2 equal
bets and placed on the outcomes +1.5 and +2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out
at the listed odds, Team B must either win the game outright, finish the game
in a tie (draw) or not lose by a margin equal or bigger than any of their
listed advantages (i.e., lose by only a maximum of 1 goal). If Team B loses by
exactly 2 goals, the bet will be considered partially lost with a refund on the
-2.0 part of the bet and a loss on the -1.5 part of the bet. Should the game
result in any outcome which results in a defeat of Team B with a margin of 3 or
more goals, the whole stake would be lost.
Alternative lines/spreads (also known as
Teasers)
· A “Teaser” is where the
patron can “buy” additional points at less favorable odds than the main spread
of any particular game. For example: the main line may be Phoenix -3 at odds
-110, but the patron wants to bet Phoenix -1.5 points. The odds given in this
example might instead be -150.
· Desert Diamond might
offer several different spreads/handicap lines on any given game.
12) “Double Chance” is where
it is possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or definite) outcomes of a
game or event, typically in a 3-way Moneyline bet (or “1X2” bet). The options
are: 1X, 12 and X2 with “1”, “X” and “2” as defined in the General Betting
Rules, Section B, Paragraph 2, Clause 3.
13) “Futures” (or “Outright”
or “Place”) betting is where it is possible to choose from a list of
alternatives and bet on the eventuality that a participant wins or places
within a specified position in the classification of the listed
event/competition. Should two or more participants share finishing positions,
the settlement will be based as per the definition in the General Betting
Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5. Clause 13.
14) An “Each Way” bet (aka
EW) refers to a bet where the chosen selection must either Win or Place within
the payout terms. The bet is divided in two parts (the “Win” part and the
“Place” part) of an equal stake. Settlement of such bets will take into account
the applicable rules governing the “Win” and “Place” bets, namely the Sport
Specific Rules, Section C, as well as the General Betting
Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause 14.
15) “Goal minutes” is where
it is possible to bet on the sum of the minutes when the goals have been scored
(primarily Soccer). When settling such bets, goals scored in injury time of
both halves are to be considered as having been scored in the 45th minute in
case the goal was scored in the first half injury time and the 90th minute in
case the goal was scored in the second half injury time. Own goals will not
count towards the settlement of individual player’s “goal minutes”.
3. Betting
Props
1) “Head-to-Heads” or
Fantasy/Virtual “Matches” are implicit match-ups where the performances of two
or more participants/teams which are not directly playing each other in the
same match/event/round are compared. Settlement will be based on the number of
times each participant records a predefined occurrence (e.g., goals) in the
respective match. The following criteria will be used to determine the
settlement of these type of offerings:
a. Unless specifically
stated, the bets refer to the next official match/event/round (as applicable)
that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in.
b. All related games/events
must be completed on the same day/session which the game/event/round is
scheduled to be completed for bets to stand, except for those offers the
outcomes of which has been decided prior to the abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
c. Results for these offers
will only consider occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results
attributable to walk-overs, as well as other decisions as specified in clauses
2, 3 and 4 of the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5,
will not be taken into consideration.
d. Should the criteria be
inconclusive in determining the outcome for these offers, the following
criteria will be progressively referenced to settle the offering:
(i) the applicable Sport
Specific Rules, Section C; and
(ii) Result Settlement
rules as listed in the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5.
Bets will be settled as void should it still be impossible to
determine a winning outcome.
2) “Grand Salami” is where
it is possible to bet on the total number of listed occurrences (e.g., Total
Goals, Total Runs) happening in a collection of games/events on a specified
round/day/match day. All related games/events must be completed for bets to
stand except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to the
abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events,
which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
3) Over/Under bets on
classification of participants in performances/events must be interpreted as
follows: “Over” means a worse or lower position while “Under” means a better or
higher position. Example: A bet on a player’s classification in a tournament
with an Over/Under line 2.5 will be settled as Under if the player classifies
first or second. All other placements will be settled as Over.
4) Bets on “Quarter / Half
/ Period X” refer to the result/score achieved in the relevant timeframe and
does not include any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the
game/event/match. Bets on this market will be declared void should the game be
played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome for the
timeframes specified in the offer.
5) Bets on “Result at end
of Quarter / Half / Period X” refer to the result of the game/match/event after
termination of the stipulated timeframe and will take into account all other
points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the game/event/match. Bets
on this market will be declared void should the game be played in a format
where it is impossible to determine an outcome for the timeframes specified in
the offer.
6) Bets on “Race to X
Points”, “Race to X Goals” and similar offers refer to the team/participant
that is the first to reach the specified tally of points/goals/events. If the
offer lists a timeframe (or any other period restriction), it will not include
any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the game/event/match
which are not related to the mentioned timeframe. Should the listed score not
be reached within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared
void, unless odds for such eventuality have been published within the market.
7) Bets on “Touchdown X
Scorer”, “Winner of Point X” and similar offers refer to the team/participant
scoring/winning the listed occurrence. For the settlement of these offers, no
reference to events happening prior to the listed occurrence will be taken into
consideration. Should the listed occurrence not be scored/won within the
stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void, unless odds for
such eventuality have been published within the market.
8) Bets referring to the
happening of a particular occurrence in a pre-defined time order, such as “Next
Team to receive penalty minutes” or “First Card” will be settled as void should
it not be possible, without any reasonable doubt, to decide the winning
outcome, for example in case of players from different teams which are shown a
card in the same interruption of play.
9) “To score first and win”
refer to the listed team/participant being the first to register any scoring in
the game and going on to win the game. Should there be no scoring in the game,
all bets will be settled as void.
10) Any reference to “Clean
Sheet” or “Shutout” indicates that the listed team/participant must not concede
any goal/points during the game/relevant timeframe.
11) “To win from behind”
refers to the listed team/participant winning the game after having been at
least 1 point/run/goal behind their opponents at any point in the game/relevant
timeframe.
12) Any reference for a
team/participant to win all halves/periods (e.g., Team to win both halves)
means that the listed team must score more points/goals than its opponent
during all the stipulated halves/periods of the game.
13) Any reference to “Injury
Time” refers to the amount displayed by the designated official and not to the
actual amount played.
14) Settlement of bets on
offers such as “Most Valuable Player”, “Man of the Match,” etc. will be based
on the competition’s organizer’s decision, unless otherwise stated.
15) Settlement of bets which
make reference to terms such as “go-ahead scorer” or “decisive goal” will be
settled based on the scorer of the points/run/goal that at the end of the
game/match/tie (as applicable) proves to be the one that has produced an
unassailable lead, following which any further points/runs/goals would prove to
be irrelevant towards the final outcome. For a bet to be settled as “YES”, the
listed player’s team must be declared winner of that particular game/match (in
case of one game) or progressing to the next round/winning the competition.
Points/runs/goals scored in Regular Time and overtime or extra time count (but
not Penalty Shoot-outs in Soccer).
16) Bets on events which
feature a selection of episodes that could happen in a game/match (e.g., “What
will happen first to the player?” with options Score a goal, Get a Yellow/Red
Card, Be Substituted) will be settled as void should none of the listed
events/outcomes occur, unless odds for such eventuality have been published
within the market.
17) Settlement of Transfer
bets will also take into account players signed by the club on loan deals.
18) Bets referring to
Managerial changes refer to the individual in the Head Coach/Manager role (as
applicable) who steps down/is removed from the position for any reason. Bets
are valid even in cases where a joint responsible (if any) leaves their
position and will be settled accordingly. In case that no more changes are
happening between the time the bet is placed and the last league event
(excluding Playoffs, Playouts, Postseason, etc.), the bets placed after the
last Managerial change (if any) will be void, unless a suitable option has been
offered for betting. Soccer markets will consider and settle accordingly, any
interim/caretaker Head Coach/Manager who since the last Managerial change has
led the team for 10 consecutive games.
19) Offers referring to
which team/participant will achieve a particular accomplishment against another
team/participant (e.g., Next team to beat Team X), as well as offers which
refer to the classification on a certain date, will stand and be settled
regardless of any eventual event changes and number of games/rounds played.
20) Settlement of offers
referring to which team/participant will be the first to achieve a particular
accomplishment against other team(s)/participant(s) (e.g., Team to score first
on Gameday X) will be based upon the timeframe in the respective game/match in
which the feat has been accomplished. For example, Team A plays on Thursday and
score their first touchdown in the 13th minute of play while Team B plays on
Sunday and score their first touchdown after 5 minutes of play, then Team B
will be settled as winner.
21) From time to time Desert Diamond, at its sole discretion and
without prejudice to related contingencies as described in the Conditions of
Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 5, Clause 4, might decide to
publish offerings referring either to the single performance of a
participant/team or offerings which combine the potential outcomes of 2 or more
teams/participants (e.g., Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc.), at higher
odds than those normally available. Desert Diamond reserves the right to
withdraw such offers, edit the respective odds and effect any further changes
Desert Diamond might deem necessary at its sole discretion.
Settlement of these offers will be based on the
following criteria in the listed order:
1. Unless specifically
stated, the offer refers only to the listed day(s) and/or next official
game/match/event/round (as applicable) in which the listed participants/teams
are scheduled to take part at the time the offer is published;
2. Results settled
as per respective Sport Specific Rules, Section C. All related
events must be completed as scheduled within the applicable timeframes for bets
to stand unless any other outcome in the offer would incontrovertibly determine
the outcome of the offer in a way that completion (or lack of thereof) of the
other events listed in the offer would not influence the outcome of the offer.
Such markets will be settled according to the already determined outcomes;
3. Unless explicitly
stated within the offer, result settlement will only take into account
occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results attributable to walk-overs,
protests, changes to the first official result, etc. will not be taken into
consideration. Stakes will be refunded should it be impossible to determine a
winning outcome in accordance with the respective Sport Specific Rules, Section
C;
4. All connotations
related to the offer must be fully and unquestionably complied with for the bet
to be deemed as winning, regardless of any possible conflict with the Sport
Specific Rules, Section C, or with any potential interpretation
based on previous or current presentation of offers related to events in that
particular sport and the way these are normally presented in Desert Diamond.
Where applicable, should the offer include any outcome the result of which ties
exactly the chosen Total (Over/Under) or Spread (aka Push), this will not be
considered as having accomplished the listed occurrence and will result in the
bet being settled as Lost.
22) Although Desert Diamond
takes reasonable precautions to ensure a superior user experience, the markets
might fluctuate in such a way that, at any given point in time, these markets
do not represent an enhanced value comparable to related bet offers currently
present on the Site. All bets remain valid regardless of these eventual
fluctuations.
23) During selected events,
Desert Diamond will provide users with functionality to place bets combining
outcomes and occurrences from the same event (aka Intra-Event Combinations),
either through pre-established combinations (“Prebuilt
Parlay”) present on the Site (excluding Enhanced Multiples, Boosted
Odds, etc. for which the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 3,
Clause 21, apply) or through the BetBuilder functionality. Such
functionality is only present at Desert Diamond’s sole discretion and without
prejudice to related contingencies as described in the Conditions of
Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 5, Clause 4. Settlement will be
based on the respective Sport Specific Rules, Section C. All
related occurrences must be fully accomplished for a bet to be considered as
having happened and eventually paid out at the odds struck. Stakes will be
refunded if any part of the combination is settled as void. Where applicable,
should the combination feature any outcome the result of which ties exactly the
chosen Totals (Over/Under) or Spread (aka Push), such part of the combination
will be removed from settlement calculation and bets will be paid out taking
into consideration only the other parts of the combination.
24) “Teaser+” allows the
user the possibility to allocate the same pre-set number of points to all outcomes
present in a parlay (combination) containing Spreads (Handicaps), Totals
(Over/Under) or a combination of both. Example: User combines NFL Team X +6.5
points in a parlay with Over 41 points in the NFL game between Team Y and Team
Z. By choosing the “Teaser+ Football 6 points” option, the lines and odds get
recalculated into a parlay featuring Team X +12.5 points (previously +6.5),
combined with Over 35 points (previously Over 41). Should any part of a
“Teaser+” bet be settled as void (push), that particular
selection will be excluded from the parlay and the computation of odds/payout
will be re-adjusted accordingly.
25) Bets referring to “Rest
of the game” or similar will consider only outcomes and occurrences obtained
from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe, thus
disregarding any occurrences registered before the time the bet was placed and
accepted.
26) Bets on specific
timeframes/intervals (e.g., game result between 60:00-89:59) will consider only
outcomes and occurrences accumulated during the specified timeframe/interval.
Settlement will not take into account any other points/goals/events tallied
from other parts of the game/event/match outside the specified
timeframe/interval, including stoppage/injury time, unless specified.
4. Parlay,
Round Robin and System Bets
1) In pre-game betting, it is possible to combine up to sixteen (16)
different offers on a single ticket. Based on these sixteen offers, patrons can
choose their own number of permutations for singles, 2-way parlays, 3-way
parlays, etc. up to a 16-way parlay. Combining different parlays on a single
ticket is sometimes called Round Robins.
2) In in-game (or live)
betting, it is possible to combine up to sixteen (16) different offers on a
single ticket as a parlay bet. Based on these sixteen offers, patrons can
choose their own number of singles, doubles, trebles, etc. All selected
games/offers in a parlay must be included in the ticket and no other multiple
options which exclude 1 or more games/matches/offers are available.
3) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to limit the number of combinations due to what is known as outcome
related contingencies, as defined in the Conditions of Agreement, Section
A, Paragraph 5, Clause 4, and other factors, solely at its own discretion.
4) It is possible to
include one or several games as “bankers” which means that the selected
games/events will be included in all parlay tickets.
5) A “Trixie” is a
combination, which includes one 3-way parlay (treble) and three 2-way parlays
(doubles) from a selection of three games.
6) A “Patent” is a
combination, which includes one 3-way parlay (treble), three 2-way parlays
(doubles) and three singles from a selection of three games.
7) A “Yankee” is a
combination, which includes one 4-way parlay (fourfold), four 3-way parlays
(trebles) and six 2-way parlays (doubles) from a selection of four games.
8) A “Canadian” (also known
as “Super Yankee”) is a combination, which includes one 5-way parlay
(fivefold), five 4-way parlays (fourfolds), ten 3-way parlays (trebles) and ten
2-way parlays (doubles) from a selection of five games.
9) A “Heinz” is a
combination, which includes one 6-way parlay (sixfold), six 5-way parlays
(fivefolds), fifteen 4-way parlays (fourfolds), twenty 3-way parlays (trebles)
and fifteen 2-way parlays (doubles) from a selection of six games.
10) A “Super Heinz” is a
combination, which includes one 7-way parlay (sevenfold), seven 6-way parlays
(sixfold), twenty-one 5-way parlays (fivefolds), thirty-five 4-way parlays
(fourfolds), thirty-five 3-way parlays (trebles) and twenty-one 2-way parlays
(doubles) from a selection of seven games.
11) A “Goliath” is a
combination, which includes one 8-way parlay (eightfold), eight 7-way parlays
(sevenfold), twenty-eight 6-way parlays (sixfold), fifty-six 5-way parlays
(fivefolds), seventy 4-way parlays (fourfolds), fifty-six 3-way parlays
(trebles) and twenty-eight 2-way parlays (doubles) from a selection of eight
games.
12) For display purposes,
when necessary, the second digit after the decimal point of the odds is shown
as rounded up in the patron’s ticket or bet history to the nearest decimal
number. The payout will, however, be affected based on the actual odds
multiplied by the stake, disregarding the aforementioned rounding.
5. Result
Settlement
1) When settling results, Desert Diamond takes reasonable steps to
use information obtained firsthand (during or exactly after the event has been
concluded), through TV transmissions, streaming (web-based and through other
sources), and official sites. Should the required information be omitted from firsthand
viewing and/or official sources, or if there is an obvious Error in the
information included in the sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will
be based on other public sources.
Unless a clear and verifiable Error is noted in
the first official result, settlement of bets will not include any changes
deriving from and/or attributable to, but not limited to: disqualifications,
penalizations, protests, sub-judice results and/or successive changes to the
official result after the event has been completed and a result has been
announced, even preliminarily.
2) Settlement of markets
held over more than 1 round/stage (e.g., Season Bets) will only consider
amendments effecting bets which settlement has not been decided yet. Such
measures must be announced by the governing association before the last
scheduled round/stage will be considered. Any changes effected after this date,
or referring to bets which have already been settled based on events happening
during the event/competition, will not be considered.
a. Unless otherwise
specified within the offer, implied by the official competition rules or
announced beforehand as being the official format for that particular event,
any changes from the default sport/event/competition format that result in
Desert Diamond offering odds/lines/totals which are incongruent with the
revised playing format will result in the voiding of the bets effected by the
format change.
b. Offers where the format
change does not preclude the organizing association from declaring a winner
(e.g., Season winner), regardless of whether there will be a continuation of
play or not, revised length of season/competition, etc., will be settled
according to the result issued by the governing association provided the result
is issued as per the timeframes listed below and is congruent to the
odds/lines/totals available at time of offer publishing.
c. The following settlement
provisions apply in such cases:
(i) Should the governing
association declare a relevant outcome within 3 months from the last game
played before the interruption (be it final classification, cancellation or
intentions to resume play), markets will be determined accordingly;
(ii) In case no applicable
official communication/result is issued within 3 months from the last game
played before the interruption, markets will be settled in accordance with the
last classification/rankings available, regardless of number of games
played/current stage/phase of the competition;
(iii) Markets which refer to
whether a team/participant will reach a subsequent phase of the competition
(e.g., Playoffs) will be settled as void should there be any changes to the
format/number of participants scheduled to contest that particular phase or
that particular phase is not played at all, unless an outcome based on the
market connotations at time of bet publishing has already been determined and
the change in number of applicable games bears no influence the outcome of the
offer;
(iv) Markets which odds are
dependent/based on a full schedule of games being played (e.g., Over/Under Wins
in the Regular Season/Points in the League) will be declared void should the
number of games played end up being different than originally scheduled at the
time of bet publishing, unless an outcome has already been determined and the
change in number of applicable games bears no influence the outcome of the
offer.
3) Occurrences which have
not been sanctioned and/or acknowledged by the game/match/event officials
(e.g., overturned touchdowns) will not be taken into account towards the
settlement of the bet. As a general rule, and unless the offer specifies
otherwise, Desert Diamond will settle offers based on the exact time that the
flow of play was interrupted/resumed (as applicable) by the occurrence in
question (e.g., ball went out of play for a throw-in/goal kick or crosses the
line for a goal), or play is interrupted by the referee, whichever is earliest.
Bets referring to the accumulation of a particular occurrence (e.g., Total
points scored and/or the execution of a particular action) will require the
occurrence to actually take place during the time interval specified (e.g., the
2-point basket completed). In such instances, should the occurrence be only
awarded and not taken, it will not be considered for settlement purposes.
4) All bet offers related
to games/matches/events which do not take place at all or are awarded a result
through a walk-over decision will be declared void.
5) In case of an abandoned
event, all bet offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could
not possibly be changed regardless of future events will be settled according
to the decided outcome. Should the abandoned event not resume within 12 hours
of its start time, all pending offers related to the event will be settled as
void.
6) In case an event is
abandoned and is scheduled to restart from the beginning, all bets placed
before the initial game which could not be settled through the outcomes
deriving from the play prior to abandonment will be declared void regardless of
whether or when the game is continued.
7) Unless otherwise stated
either in the Sport Specific Rules, Section C, or in conjunction
with the bet offer, specific events forming part of tournaments/competitions
which are not held, get postponed and/or are rescheduled for a time/date longer
than 12 hours from the last scheduled time issued by the governing association
due to bad weather, crowd trouble or similar scenarios will be declared void
with the following exceptions where bets will remain valid:
a. Events for which
starting times have not been officially confirmed yet by the governing
association at time of bet placement;
b. Events which are moved
due to scheduling conflicts/TV broadcasts but remain scheduled to be played
within the same gameday/game week/round (as applicable) and the change does not
change the order of official games/events for any of the participants in the
offer;
c. Events for which start
times are anticipated (brought forward) but remain scheduled to be played
within the same gameday/game week/round (as applicable) and, without prejudice
to past-posting and similar occurrences as defined in the Conditions of
Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 5, Clause 6, the change does not
modify the order of official game/event for any of the participants in the
offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of
same gameday/game week/round is to be interpreted as the order of events as
dictated by the governing association with each specific game representing a
gameday/game week/round. Should this order not be upheld and the sequence of
events change in a way that games against other teams get scheduled in between
so much that the listed event ceases to be the next official commitment from
that particular tournament/league/competition for all teams involved, that will
be considered as not part of the same gameday/game week/round and offers will
be declared void. The above does not apply to Season bets which will remain
valid assuming the tournament/league/competition is held and decided during the
season/year it refers to, regardless of any eventual date changes. In cases of
Playoffs series or other series of games which are scheduled to confront 2
teams over 2 or more games, any rescheduling of a single game will be
considered as being part of the same gameday regardless of the length of the
rescheduling, assuming the order of Home and Away events in the series is not
modified and the listed event takes place within the series. Otherwise, bets
will be declared void.
8) In cases of events which
have not been completed before their natural conclusion, and a result is issued
through a decision by the association not more than 12 hours from the event’s
start, Desert Diamond will use the issued decision as the official result for
the following bet offers: Moneyline, Tie No Bet and Double Chance.
Notwithstanding that, the issued decision does not change the outcome of the
bet offers at the time of the abandonment. In that case, the stakes will be
refunded. All offers referring to the tallying of particular occurrences (e.g.,
Total Points, Spreads, etc.) will be declared void except for those the
outcomes of which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
9) All bet offers related
to uncompleted games/matches/events where the official governing body is not
previously acknowledged will be declared as void unless at least 90% of the
stipulated Regular/Full Time (see the General Betting Rules, Section B,
Paragraph 1, Clause 1) is played. Should the game/match/event be abandoned
after 90% has been completed, the settlement will be based on the current score
at the time when the game/match/event was stopped.
10) Settlement of bet
offers, such as, but not limited to, stolen bases, errors, sacks, shots, shots
on target, ball possession, assists, rebounds, etc., will be based according to
the definition with which the official governing body issues the
statistics. Desert Diamond will not consider inconsistent
personal interpretation of such terms.
11) When placing “Outright”
or “Place” bets, no stakes will be refunded on participants that are not
participating or withdrawing from an event prior to or during the event unless
otherwise stated. Desert Diamond reserves the right, at its own discretion, to
apply Tattersalls Rule 4, as explained in the General Betting Rules, Section
B, Paragraph 6, on any competition and this will be stated in correlation
to the bet offer and/or the relevant Sport Specific Rule, Section C.
12) No refunds of bets will
apply, even if the winning outcome of a game/match/event is a
participant/outcome that has not been listed for betting purposes. On all bet
offers, the patron has the possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed
participant/outcome. Desert Diamond reserves the right, at its own discretion,
to decline such requests.
13) In case a participant is
disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a subsequent part/phase of an
event/competition, the disqualification will be considered to have taken place
at the time of the participant’s removal from the event. No changes will be
made to previous results, regardless of any modifications due to actions. Bets
placed after the disqualified participant last took part in the event will be
declared void.
14) If two or more participants
share the applicable finishing positions and no odds have been offered for a
tied outcome, the payout will be calculated by dividing the odds by the number
of participants sharing those certain positions and are settled accordingly.
The payout will always be at least equal to the wager amount, except in cases
of “Head-to-Heads” (see the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph
2, Clause 7 and Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause.19).
15) In “Group Betting” (aka
“Best of X”), all listed participants must start the event for bets to stand.
16) In “Group Betting” (aka
“Best of X”), at least one participant from the selection list must
successfully complete the event for bets to stand. Should that not be the case,
and the governing association does not follow specific tiebreaking criteria,
the bets will be declared void.
17) In a “Head-to-Head” between two or three participants, all listed
participants must start the particular round/event to which the bet refers for
bets to be considered valid.
18) In a “Head-to-Head”
between two participants, all bets will be refunded if both participants share
the same position/score or are eliminated at the same stage of the competition,
unless the governing association follows specific tiebreaking procedures, in
which case these bets will be deemed valid.
19) In a “Head-to-Head”
between three participants and more than one winning outcome, the odds will be
divided by the outcomes sharing the winning position, regardless of whether the
net outcome is lower than the patron’s stake.
20) If a “Head-to-Head” is
offered between different rounds/stages, all participants must take part in the
upcoming round/stage for bets to be valid. Should any participant listed in the
offer not take any subsequent part, bets placed from after the last time the
participant was active in the event will be declared void.
21) Unless specifically
stated, whenever the organizing association deems it fit to include any
necessary rounds, games, matches, or series of games/matches (e.g., Playoffs,
Playouts, Postseason) following the end of the so-called Regular Season in
order to determine the classification, league winners, promotion/relegation,
etc., Desert Diamond will take into account the results and outcomes deriving
from these games for settlement purposes of bets referring to the final league
classification, promotion, relegation, etc. For example, seasonal bets on the
team winning the NHL will refer to the Stanley Cup Winners.
22) Offers which confront
against each other the performances of two or more individuals/teams over a
stipulated timeframe/competition will only be settled based on the result of
the listed participants, disregarding all other participants in the same
competition/event.
23) Unless specifically
stated, all offers referring to a single player’s performance in a specific
domestic league (e.g., Total Points Scored by Player X in League Y) or
“Head-to-Head” bet offers involving two players’ performances in domestic
leagues will not take into account those events happening during eventual
Playoffs/Playouts/Postseason or any other games, or series of games, which
would happen after the Regular Season. For the avoidance of doubt,
Canadian teams, as pertains to NHL, NBA, MLB and MLS, are considered domestic.
24) Offers related to a
total amount of occurrences/events scored/tallied by a particular team, either
in a single team performance in a specific league (e.g., Total Runs Scored by
Team X), “Head-to-Head” bet offers involving two teams’ performances in leagues
(e.g., Most Penalty Minutes in UK Premier League - Team Y vs Team Z), or a
cumulative league performance (e.g., Team to receive Most Penalties in NHL),
will not take into account those events happening during eventual
Playoffs/Playouts/Postseason or any other games, or series of games, which
would happen after the so-called Regular Season, unless otherwise specified.
25) In a single player
performance bet offer in a specific league (e.g., Total Runs Scored by Player X
in MLB) or “Head-to-Head” bet offers involving two players’ performances in
leagues, unless an outcome has already been achieved, stakes will be refunded
should any of the following occurrences happen to any relevant participant:
(i) the participant is not part of the
gameday line up or squad for the team/club they are eligible for at time of bet
placement in 50% or more of the remaining applicable games for any reason, (ii)
the participant does not take part in at least another game after the bet has been
placed, or (iii) the participant totals the same amount as the other player,
unless a tie/draw option has been offered. Other sports-specific conditions may
apply, please refer to the Sport Specific Rules, Section C.
26) In a single player
performance bet offer in a specific event (e.g., Total Runs by Player X in Game
1 of World Series) or “Head-to-Head” bet offers involving two players’
performances in specific events, should any of the following occurrences happen
to either of the participants in the selection list, the bets will be
considered void: (i) the participant does not take part at all in the event
(ii) the participant does not take part in at least another game after the bet
has been placed, or (iii) the participant totals the same amount as the other
participant, unless a draw/tie option has been offered.
27) During specific events
Desert Diamond might decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of
participants and might also include betting options such as “any other”, “the
field”, or similar. This option includes all unlisted participants except for
the ones mentioned specifically as available.
28) Offers that make
specific reference to a participant’s/participants’ performance(s) in a
particular event (e.g., Player X vs The Field) are to be considered void if the
mentioned participant(s) do(es) not take part in the competition.
29) Any form of a
qualification ahead of the main event is considered to be a valid part of that
competition. Thus, any participant who is eliminated at qualification stage
will be considered losing to anyone that is pre-qualified or is successful in
the qualification part.
30) Bet offers which
originally require participant(s) to compete in two or more stages/legs to
advance into a subsequent phase/round of a competition will remain valid
regardless of any postponement/ movement of the actual game dates, assuming the
game(s) actually takes place within the frame of the competition.
31) A bet on a “To Qualify”
market originally requiring just one stage/leg to advance to a subsequent
phase/round of a competition (including any eventual prolongations/additional
games, e.g., replays) will be declared void if a game is not decided within
more than 12 hours of its supposed start time.
32) Should an event be moved
from its originally announced venue and/or have its playing surface changed,
this will not be treated as a cause for the offers to be voided unless (i) the
Sport Specific Rules dictate such, and/or (ii) the new location in which the
event takes place is the habitual “Home” stadium, field, pitch, court, ice,
etc. of either participant involved in the game, except as dictated below. As a
general principle, Desert Diamond will refer to the Home Team (host) and the
Away Team (visitor) in accordance with the definition issued by the governing
association for that particular game/competition. Bets on games played on
so-called “Neutral” fields, pitches, courts, stadiums, ice, etc. will remain
valid regardless of whether such information has been detailed in the bet offer
and/or the positioning of the teams on the betting board/display. In those
cases where there is a discrepancy between the positioning of the
teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the betting
board/display, and such discrepancy causes a significant effect on the odds of
the game/match/competition, Desert Diamond will void the affected bets. Such
eventuality is contemplated only in cases where the discrepancy has a material
and visible effect on the odds. For example, in cases of swapped Home and Away
Teams in an Ice Hockey game, Desert Diamond will void the bets. Nevertheless,
Desert Diamond will consider valid bets placed on events where the so-called
home-field advantage is not considered and in cases of neutral venues. Examples
of such cases include, but are not limited to, tennis tournaments, MMA fights,
singles competitions in general, or specific events such as the final/late
stages of team competitions being held in pre-established venues, like the
Super Bowl, the NCAA Final 4 or the Italian Football Cup Final, even if the
location can be deemed as a potential customary “Home” pitch for either of the
teams involved. In such cases, events will be considered as being played in
neutral venues and all bets stand regardless of the positioning of the
teams/participants on the official website and their placement on the Site.
33) Information referring to
gender of the teams, age groups and youth teams, as well as various definitions
of reserve teams (e.g., B and C teams), is to be treated as supplementary
information. The inclusion (or lack of) and correctness of such information
will not be treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers related
to the game/match/event, provided this does not cause an obvious inconsistency
in odds offered.
34) Although Desert Diamond takes
reasonable precautions to assure an accurate rendition of all components
involved in a bet offer, certain denominations could be represented differently
due to different interpretations deriving from adaptations into another
language. Such linguistic incongruence will not be treated as sufficient cause
for the voiding of the offers related to the game/match/event, to the extent
that it does not create confusion with other participants or cause an obvious
inconsistency in odds offered. The same applies for denominations referring to
events, team names, sponsor names, etc.
35) In case of bets where
there is reference to timeframes, they should be interpreted in the following
way: “within the first 30 minutes” will include anything happening until 0
hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will include
anything happening from 10 minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and 59
seconds, etc.
36) Unless listed either in
conjunction with the bet offer or in the Sport Specific Rules, Section
C, bets referring to game/event/match duration which include non-full
integer digits (e.g., 88.5 minutes or X.5 rounds) require the full completion
of the full integer of the listed duration for them to be considered won. For
example, a bet on Over/Under 88.5 minutes in a Tennis match will be settled as
Over only if at least 89 full minutes are completed.
37) Desert Diamond
acknowledges that some bets might require the rounding-up of percentages, units
or other criteria which are decisive for the settlement of the bet. Should that
be the case, Desert Diamond reserves the right to adjust and settle
accordingly.
38) Any reference to goals
scored by specific players will not count if they are defined as ‘own goals’
(scored in their own goals) unless otherwise stated.
39) Any reference to
confederation, nationality or similar will be subject to the definition by the
governing association.
40) Any medals won by a
team/nation per competition will count as one (1) single medal regardless of
the number of team members (e.g., Olympic gymnastics team all-around gold
medal).
41) Offers on whether
certain individuals will be occupying a specified position/title/job on a
certain date (e.g., Player or Coach to still be with Team Y on Date Z) refer to
the individual in question to hold (or alternatively to be appointed in) the
listed position uninterruptedly between the time the bet is placed and the specified
deadline. Should the individual for any reason whatsoever leave the position
before the specified deadline, the outcome of the bet will be considered as not
having happened, even in cases where the individual is re-appointed/signed
again in that same position/title/job and even if on the specified deadline the
individual is occupying once more that same position/title/job to which the bet
refers. Settlements will also take into account players signed on loan deals.
42) Any bets referring to “breaking”
of records require the listed occurrence to be fully accomplished. Equaling the
record will not be considered as having fully accomplished the feat. Only the
listed occurrence will count for settlement purposes.
6. Tattersalls
Rule 4
1) In the event of one
non-runner or one non-participant, the odds on the remaining runners or
remaining participants are reduced in accordance with the so-called Tattersalls

Section C.
Sport Specific Rules
1. American
Football (“Football”)
1) Unless stated otherwise,
all bets on Football are determined on the basis of the result after any
overtime or extra time.
2) All offers will only be
considered valid should there be less than 5 minutes of scheduled play left in
the 4th Quarter/2nd Half, as applicable. Exceptions will be made for those
outcomes which have been decided prior to early abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
3) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single game (e.g., Total Passing Yards
Thrown by Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players during the
course of a game (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y throw most Passing Yards)
require all listed individuals to actively play in the applicable game for the
bet(s) to stand.
4) Unless specifically
stated or implied in the offer, settlement of Season long (or “future”) bets
will be based on the classifications, definitions and tiebreaking rules as per
NFL.com or the official website of the competition (as applicable).
5) Unless otherwise
specified, a typical NFL/NCAA week/round schedule is considered starting on a
Thursday through the following Wednesday, as per local stadium time. Any
events/offers not completed within the designated or specified time period will
be settled as void, except for those offers in which the outcomes have already
been decided and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events,
which will be settled according to the decided outcome. Bets referring to
events which have been rescheduled within the same week/round will remain valid
so long as such events are played within the Thursday to Wednesday time period
described above.
6) Gameday/Weekly props are
offers on the performance or outcome of a group of teams or individual player
performance for games/events over a specified time period (week/round/day/game)
(e.g., Week 3 - Total Points Scored in the AFC, Week 7 - Highest Scoring team
in the NFL, Week 9 - the Player with the most passing yards, etc.). All applicable
game/matches/events (including any rescheduled games that are played within the
same game week) must be completed and validated for the specified
week/gameday/round for bets to stand except for those the outcomes which have
been decided prior to the abandonment or change in schedule, and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome. In addition, offers referring to the
performance of specified players require that all the specified players are
active participants at any point of the applicable game for bets to stand.
7) Season long bets,
including results of Playoff games or other similar events, or particular team
or player performance will remain valid regardless of possible player trades,
team movements, name changes, changes of season length or playoff format
changes during any point in the season.
8) Offers referring to
individual player performance (e.g., Total Passing Yards by Player X during the
Playoffs) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season/single game (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score
most Touchdowns during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals
must be an active participant in at least one more game applicable for the
offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand. Any bets placed after any news
which could potentially reduce the number of events/games a listed player is
eligible to participate within the competition (e.g., injury/transfer/trade
news), and theoretically alter the odds in favor of
any particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted to reflect the
current state of the bet, will be declared void.
9) Bets on Double Result
(e.g., “Half Time/Full Time” which predict the outcome at Half Time combined
with the result at the end of the 4th Quarter) will not take into account any
outcomes in overtime (if applicable).
10) First/Next Offensive
Play markets are settled based on the first/next offensive play from scrimmage
(as applicable), excluding penalties. Should a kick-off be returned for a
touchdown, bets will be settled with the outcome of the subsequent kick-off.
For settlement purposes, incomplete/intercepted passes, Quarterback sacks or
fumbles will be considered as “Pass Play” unless the Quarterback has passed the
line of scrimmage, at which point it would be considered as “Run Play”. Fumbles
on exchanges to a running back will be considered as “Run Play”.
11) Settlement on offers referring
to “Offensive Yards” will be based on the net number of yards including any
sack yardage lost. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation is completed by
adding the relevant passing and receiving yards and subtracting the number of
yards lost to sacks from the total.
12) Offers referring to any
team scoring a specified successive number of times unanswered will consider
scorings tallied during eventual overtime but excludes any PATs (points after
Touchdowns or 2 point conversions).
13) “Team to call first/next
Timeout” offers will not take into consideration any timeouts lost through any
other means such as failed challenges, coaches challenges and/or injuries for
settlement purposes.
14) Settlement on all
penalty offers will be based on the penalty being accepted. Declined penalties
do not count.
15) Bets referring to the
outcome of a particular drive will be settled as void in case of an incomplete
drive. In cases where Team A has the ball and fumbles with the ball being
recovered by Team B who successively fumbles it back to Team A, the outcome
will be settled as a “Turnover”. Turnover on Downs (failed 4th Down attempt)
will also be considered as a “Turnover”. Should a punt be fumbled by the
receiving team and subsequently recovered by the kicking team, bets will be
settled as a “Punt”.
16) Offers on “if a 1st Down
will be made” refer only to the team currently in possession and achieving such
accomplishment. Market will be settled as “YES” should a new set of “Downs” be
achieved either by Run, Pass (including cases where a Touchdown is scored as a
result) or an Automatic 1st Down Penalty. “Safety”, “Field Goal” (regardless of
whether the Field Goal being scored or not), fumbles or any change in
possession will settle the offer as “NO”. Any Down replayed due to
non-automatic penalties will not be considered for settlement purposes unless
committed with 5 yards or less to go.
17) Settlement on which team
will gain most Passing/Rushing yards will be based on the gross number of yards
thrown/run, including any negative yardage for rushing.
18) For settlement purposes,
bets on Touchdown scorers require the listed player to be part of the active
roster for that game. Stakes on players which are not on the active roster will
be refunded. In cases of “passing Touchdowns” only the player who catches the
pass will be considered as the Touchdown scorer.
19) Player props and other
stats-based offers will be settled according to the official game reports as
published after the game by the organizing association.
20) Unless otherwise
specified in conjunction with the bet offer, bets on outcomes related to 2nd Half will only
take into consideration points and occurrences tallied/obtained during the
regular game period and will not consider any points and occurrences
tallied/obtained during overtime.
2. Athletics
(Track & Field)
1) Unless otherwise stated,
all bets on Athletics are determined on the basis of the result after the final
stage of that competition. If neither of the listed participants takes part in
the final stage, all bets will be void, unless the governing association
follows specific tiebreaking procedures, in which case these will be deemed
valid.
2) All bet offers will be settled
based on the first official result being presented. However, Desert Diamond
will take into account and settle/re-settle accordingly following any changes
to the official result issued within 24 hours after the event has taken place.
For such eventuality to be considered, a protest must be attributable to
incidents happening exclusively during the event, such as a line infringement,
pushes or a false handover in a relay race, etc. No doping cases will be
considered. The result available at the end of the 24 hours will be deemed as
binding regardless of any further protests, changes to the official result,
etc.
3) If two or more
participants take part in different heats during a competition, all
Head-To-Head-offers between them will be considered void, unless
there is a later stage in the competition that at least one of them qualifies
for.
4) A participant that is
disqualified due to infringement of the start procedure (false start) will be
deemed as having taken part in the event.
3. Australian
(Aussie) Rules Football
1) Unless explicitly
stated, should a match or a specified period (ex. 1st Half, 3rd Quarter, etc.)
end in a draw, all bets will be settled according to the dead
heat rule, where the payout would be calculated after the odds are divided and
then multiplied by the stake, regardless of whether the net payout is lower
than the patron’s stake.
2) Unless otherwise stated,
all bets referring to matches will be settled with the result at the end of 4th
Quarter (normal time).
3) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single match (e.g., Total Points Scored by
Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players during the course of
a match (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most Points) require all
listed individuals to play from the start of the match for bets to stand.
4) First Goalscorer in the
match/1st Quarter - Stakes will be refunded on players who are not in the
starting 21. Bets on First Goalscorer in the match do not require the goal to
be scored in the 1st Quarter. Should no goal be scored in the listed period all
bets will be settled as void.
5) First Goalscorer in the
2nd, 3rd or 4th Quarter - All bets stand regardless of the player’s
participation (or lack thereof) in the listed Quarter and the match. Should no
goal be scored in the listed quarter all bets will be settled as void.
6) “Wire-to-Wire” betting
refers to which team (if any) is leading the match at the end of each quarter.
7) Should any replay/extra
matches be required to determine any position in the classification, league
winners, etc., the outcomes deriving from these replays/extra matches will be
used for the settlement of the respective bet offer.
8) For match betting on a
Grand Final, the betting is specific to the upcoming match to be played, or the
current match, in the case of live betting. Bets will not carry over to any
replay and a new market will be added for any subsequent matches.
9) When settling offers
which relate to the performances of two or more individuals/teams over a
stipulated timeframe/competition, stages of elimination within the “Finals”
will count for the settlement. Should two teams be eliminated at the same stage,
the team that finished highest on the AFL ladder at the conclusion of the
Regular Season will be considered as having achieved a better position.
10) All bets stand,
regardless of change of venue.
11) Offers referring to
individual player performance (e.g., Total Points Scored by Player X during the
Playoffs) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most points
during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals must be an
active participant in at least one more event applicable for the offer after
bet acceptance for bets to stand. Bets placed after any news which can
potentially reduce the number of events any listed player is eligible for within
the competition (e.g., injury/transfer/trade news), and theoretically alter the
odds in favor of any particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted
to reflect the current state of the bet, will be declared void.
4. Badminton
1) Terms and conditions
stated for Tennis apply where applicable.
5. Baseball
1) Unless otherwise stated,
bets on Baseball are determined on the basis of the result after any eventual
extra innings, and regardless of the number of innings played, as declared by
the respective organizing association.
2) A bet is declared void
on a cancelled or postponed game which has not started, or in the case of a
result not having been issued within twelve hours of the scheduled start time.
3) Moneyline and other offers which are determined on the outcome or
end of the match including Spreads and Totals (over/under) (or “Match
Bets”) require
a minimum number of innings be played, as per the rules of the respective
governing association, for bets to stand and will be settled as void in case of
a tie after the eventual extra innings. All other offers which could reasonably
be settled (e.g., “Over/Under”, “Runline” and “Odd/Even”) will be settled
according to the result after the extra innings.
4) “Runline”, “Over/Under”,
and “Odd/Even” require all scheduled innings to be completed, or at least one
half of an inning less than the total number of scheduled innings, if the Home
Team is winning, for bets to stand. This applies to all offers except those
where the outcome has been decided prior to the abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events. These will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
5) With the exception of those offers where the start/participation
of the listed pitcher(s) is specifically required for the market to be deemed
valid, (e.g., Listed Pitcher Moneyline), whoever is chosen to be the starting
pitcher of either team has no relevance on how offers are settled.
6) For settlement purposes,
“First Half” bets refer to the outcome of the first 5 innings. All 5 innings
must be completed for the bets to stand, except for those offers in which the
outcome has been decided prior to abandonment and could not possibly be changed
regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided
outcome. For games played under a scheduled, shortened format, the first half
innings will be shortened accordingly. For example, “first half” bets in a 7
innings game refer to outcomes deriving from the first 4 innings.
7) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single match (e.g., Total Hits by Player X)
or relative performance of 2 individual players during the course of a match
(e.g., Will Player X or Player Y have the most Hits) require all listed
individuals to play a further active part in the applicable match for bets to
stand.
8) Unless specifically
stated or implied in the offer, settlement of Season long bets, Tournament bets
or Playoff Totals will be based as per the classifications, definitions and
tiebreaking rules as per MLB.com, or the official website of the competition
(as applicable). Unless otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will
include eventual prolongations (e.g., extra innings).
9) Offers referring to
individual player performance (e.g., Total Runs Scored by Player X during the
Playoffs) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season/game (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y record the most
hits during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals must be an
active participant in at least one more game for the bets to stand. Bets placed
after any news which can potentially reduce the number of events any listed player
is eligible for within the competition (e.g., injury/transfer/trade news), and
theoretically alter the odds in favor of any particular outcome without the
odds having been adjusted to reflect the current state of the bet, will be
declared void.
10) Season long bets,
regardless of whether these include outcomes resulting during Playoffs or
otherwise, as well as offers referring to particular teams or player
performances, will remain valid regardless of possible player trades, team
movements, name changes, change in season length or playoff format changes
during any point in the season.
11) Bets on the outcome of a
particular period (e.g., Inning X) or occurrences achieved during a
time-limited period require the specified period to be completed with the
exception of those offers the outcome of which is already determined before any
interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce
a different outcome to the offers which will be settled accordingly. For
settlement purposes, any inning (including eventual extra innings) which does
not require the Home Team to bat further, or at all, is considered to have been
naturally concluded and all bets referring to the inning (e.g., Result of
Inning X, Runline (Spread) of Inning X, Over/Under (Total) Runs or Hits in
Inning X) stand with the exception of those which specifically refer to the
single performance of the Home Team within the specified inning (e.g.,
Over/Under (Total) Runs scored by the Home Team in Inning X) which will be settled
as void should the Home Team not bat at all during the specified inning.
12) During certain events
Desert Diamond might decide to offer markets related to the outcome of a series
of consecutive Regular Season matches playing between the listed teams during
the specified timeframes. Settlement will include outcomes deriving from any
doubleheaders provided these are played within the specified timeframe. In
cases where no tie outcome has been made available for betting, bets will be
settled as void should both of the listed teams win the same number of games.
All scheduled games must be completed as per the rules of the organizing
association for bets to stand except for those the outcomes which have been
decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless
of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
13) Offers which confront or
tally outcome and occurrences obtained/achieved by teams or players taking part
in different games not playing each other (e.g., Team to score most runs in
their respective game) require that all applicable games are completed as per
the rules of the organizing association for bets to stand except for those the
outcomes which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome. In cases where no tie outcome has been made
available for betting, bets will be settled as void should both of the listed teams/participants
obtain/achieve the same amount.
6. Basketball
1) All bets on Basketball
are determined on the basis of the result after the game is over, including
overtime (if necessary), unless otherwise stated.
2) All NBA and NCAA offers
will only be considered valid should there be less than 5 minutes of scheduled
play left in the 4th Quarter/2nd Half, as applicable. Exception will be made
for outcomes which have been decided prior to abandonment and could not
possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
3) Moneyline bets on ties
which are decided over two or more match-ups (or games) will have the
“Including Overtime” offer voided in case the game ends in a tie and no further
activity is played in that particular game.
4) In multiple game series,
all points earned during any overtime period will count toward the final
settlement of that particular game.
5) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single game (e.g., Total Points Scored by
Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players during the course of
a game (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y make the most Rebounds) require all
listed individuals to play an active part in the applicable game for bets to
stand.
6) All bets referring to
aggregated league or tournament totals (such as Points, Rebounds, Assists,
etc.) will be settled based on official statistics by the governing
association. Unless otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will
include eventual prolongations (e.g., overtime).
7) Unless specifically
stated or implied in the bet offer, settlement of Season long bets will be
based as per the classifications, definitions and tiebreaking rules of the
NBA.com, or the official website of the competition (as applicable).
8) Season long bets,
regardless of whether these include outcomes resulted during Playoffs or
otherwise, as well as offers referring to particular teams or player
performance will remain valid regardless of eventual potential player trades,
team movements, name changes, season length or playoff format changes during
any point in the season.
9) Offers referring to
individual player performances (e.g., Total Points Scored by Player X during
the Playoffs) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
game/period/tournament/season (e.g., Which Player X or Player Y make the most
rebounds during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals must be
an active participant in at least one more game applicable for the offer for
bets to stand. Bets placed after any news which can potentially reduce the
number of games any listed player is eligible for within the competition (e.g.,
injury/transfer/trade news), and theoretically alter the odds in favor of any
particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted to reflect the current
state of the bet, will be declared void.
10) Bets on Double Result
(i.e., predicting the outcome at Half Time combined with the result at the end
of the 4th Quarter) will
include any outcomes from overtime.
11) Unless otherwise
specified in conjunction with the bet offer, bets on outcomes relating to 2nd Half will only
include points and occurrences tallied/obtained during the specified timeframe
and will not include any points and occurrences tallied/obtained during
eventual overtime.
12) For settlement purposes
a “double-double” is considered to have occurred should the player register 10
or more in at least 2 of these categories in a single game (including
overtime): Points Scored, Any Rebounds Won, Assists, Steals and/or Blocked
Shots. A “triple-double” is considered to have occurred should the player
register 10 or more in at least 3 of the listed categories in a single game
(including overtime).
7. Beach
Volleyball
1) All bets will remain
valid provided the match/offer is played within the tournament framework
regardless of any changes in schedule, conditions, etc., unless other arrangements
have been agreed.
2) “Match” bet offers are
based on the general principle of tournament progress or tournament win,
depending on the phase of the competition to which the match refers. The team
progressing to the next round or winning the tournament is to be considered the
winner of the bet regardless of match duration, withdrawals, disqualifications,
etc. These bets require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” offers on
unfinished matches/events the outcome of which is already determined before the
interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce
a different outcome to the offers will be settled based on the result achieved
until the interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the minimum
number of occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer to the
natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of sets
which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a situation
where no possible variations could affect the outcome of the offer, this will
be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section for reference.
4) “Handicap” or “Spread”
offers require all scheduled sets to be completed for bets to stand except in
those events the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption
and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different
outcome to the offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the
Tennis section for reference.
5) All “Correct Score” and
“Odd/Even” offers, and those offers which refer to the winner of a particular
period in the match (e.g., “Team to win the first set”), require the relevant
part of the match to be completed.
8. Boxing
1) All offers will be
settled according to the official result of the relevant governing body
immediately as declared by the ring announcer at the end of the fight. No
amendments made to the official result after being first announced will be
taken into consideration except for those which the organizing association
effects to rectify clear cases of human errors by the ring announcer.
2) For settlement purposes,
in case the match is interrupted for any reason in between rounds, e.g.,
retirement before the start of a round, disqualification, or failure to answer
the bell, the fight will be deemed to have finished at the end of the previous
round.
3) Offers on fights
declared as a “No Contest” or “Technical draw” will be settled as void, except
for those offers the outcome has been decided prior to the decision and could
not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled
according to the decided outcome.
4) If for any reason, the
number of rounds in a fight is changed between the time of bet acceptance and
the actual fight, offers which make specific reference to rounds, such as
“Round betting”, “Group of Rounds”, “Over/Under”, “Method of Victory” and “To
go the distance”, will be declared void.
5) For settlement purposes,
betting on rounds or groups of rounds refers to a fighter to win by KO
(Knockout), TKO (Technical Knockout), or disqualification during that round or
group of rounds. If for any reason, a points decision is awarded before the
full number of scheduled rounds is completed, or a boxer is disqualified, bets
will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped. Bets which
nominate ‘to win on points’ will only be deemed winners if the full number of
rounds is completed.
6) For a match to be
declared as having been decided by “points” (e.g., the different definition of
“decision”), all scheduled rounds must be completed. All other decisions (e.g.,
KO, TKO, withdrawal, disqualification, failure to answer the bell, clash of
heads, low blow, etc.) will be settled as if the boxer has won the fight
without the need of a decision, aka “before the bell”.
7) Bets referring to
round/fight duration represents the actual time passed in the round/fight, as
applicable, depending on the scheduled round/fight duration. For example, a bet
on Over 4.5 Total Rounds in a Boxing fight will be settled as Over once a
minute and a half in the 5th Round has passed.
8) Any confirmed fight must
be completed by 23:59 local time of the following day for bets to stand. Any
changes in venue or location will not be deemed valid grounds for voiding of
the offers.
9) In offers where a
draw/tie is possible and odds have not been offered for such outcome, bets will
be settled as void should the official result be declared as such. For
settlement purposes, fights in which the outcome is declared as either a
“Majority draw” or a “Split draw” are to be considered as a drawn/tied outcome
and offers will be settled accordingly.
10) Settlement of
statistics-based offers such as “Boxer X to be knocked down” or similar will be
settled based on the results declared by the referee and no personal
interpretation will be considered.
9. Cricket
a. General Cricket Rules
1) In cases where no odds
have been offered for a tie and the match/offer ends in a tie, bets would be
settled according to the dead heat rule, where the payout would be calculated
after the odds are divided and multiplied by the stake, regardless of whether
the net payout is lower than the patron’s stake. In competitions where other
means are used to determine a winner after a tie (e.g., “Bowl-out” or “Super
Over”) then offers will be settled based on the result after such prolongations
are completed. The only exception to this rule is for “Match Odds” betting in
Test/First Class/3, 4 or 5 day matches where in the event of a tie (where both
teams have completed two innings each and have the same score) bets on “Match
Odds” will be settled as void.
2) For “Total Runs Over X”
(Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, “extras” and “penalty runs” (as per match
scorecards) are included for settlement purposes. Bets will be void if the over
is not completed unless a result has already been determined or the over has
reached its “natural conclusion” (e.g., innings end/declaration). The market
refers only to the listed over (e.g., “5th over” refers to over number 5, i.e., the
over directly following over number 4).
3) For “Total Runs Delivery
X” (Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, “extras” (but not “penalty runs”) as
per match scorecard are included for settlement purposes. Deliveries are
counted from the start of the over, and additional deliveries (resulting from
“extras”) will be counted consecutively and separately (e.g., if delivery 1 is
a wide, the next ball is considered delivery 2).
4) For “Boundary Over X”
(Yes/No) betting, any instance of the ball striking or clearing the boundary
regardless of whether the ball comes off the bat shall be deemed a boundary.
This includes wides, byes, leg byes & overthrows (e.g., any instance of an
in play ball that hits or clears the boundary shall be settled as yes for that
over). 4 runs that are “all run” between the wicket shall not be counted as a
boundary. Bets will be void if the over is not completed unless a result has
already been determined or the over has reached its “natural conclusion” (e.g.,
innings end, declaration). The market refers only to the listed over (e.g., “5th Over” refers to
over number 5, i.e., the over directly following over number 4).
5) For “Wicket Over X”
(Yes/No) betting, the over must be completed for bets to stand, unless a wicket
has already fallen or the innings reaches its natural conclusion (e.g., innings
end, declaration).
6) For “Total Wides”
(Over/Under) betting, settlement will be based on the “Runs” scored from
“Wides” and not the number of “Wides” bowled, e.g., if a single wide delivery
reaches the boundary, it shall count as 5 total wides.
7) For “Method of
Dismissal” betting, bets will be void if either player retires due to injury or
any other reason before the wicket falls or there are no further wickets.
8) For “Most Run Outs”
betting, settlement will be based on the batting team not the fielding team,
(e.g., run outs count for the team of the player that is dismissed).
9) For “Odd/Even” betting,
a ball must be bowled for bets to stand.
10) For any betting
involving “ducks”, a “duck” is defined as when a player is dismissed for a
score of zero runs. Any player not-out for zero runs is not considered a duck.
11) For “Maiden in Match”
betting, a maiden is considered any over bowled with no runs scored. Only
completed overs with zero runs count. A minimum of 1 over must be bowled for
bets to stand. For settlement purposes, leg-byes and byes are not applied to
this bet offer, as per the match scorecard.
12) For all “4s” betting
including but not limited to total 4s, most 4s & player’s total 4s; any
“all run” 4s will not count towards the total. Over-throws that reach the
boundary and are awarded to the batsman will be counted. No-balls that reach
the boundary off the bat and are awarded to the batsman will be counted.
Leg-byes & byes that reach the boundary are not included. Wides that reach
the boundary are not included.
13) Penalty runs awarded
will be counted towards the over, interval and innings for settlement purposes,
as per match scorecard. If penalty runs are not awarded to a specific over,
they will only count towards innings runs.
b. Player Cricket Rules
1) “Top Run Scorer” and
“Top Wicket Taker” bets (including all variants by “Home Team”, Away Team”, “1st Innings” & “2nd Innings”) placed
on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Bets on players who
are selected but do not bat or field will be settled as losers. In the event of
a tie, dead heat rules as explained in the Sport Specific Rules, Section
C, Paragraph 9(a).1, will apply.
a) Additionally, for all
limited overs matches the following will apply. Betting requires a minimum
of 20 overs to be bowled per innings of a One Day match, unless a team is
all-out or the match is completed, or a minimum of 5 overs to be bowled per
innings of a Twenty 20 match, T10 or Hundred match unless a team is all-out, or
the match is completed
b) Additionally, for all
Test matches & 4/5 day matches the following will apply. Betting requires
50 overs to be completed for bets to stand, unless the innings has reached its
natural conclusion (including “Innings declared”).
c) All “Top Wicket Taker”
bets will be settled solely on the number of wickets taken regardless of the
number of runs conceded.
d) All “Top Wicket Taker”
bets will be void if no wicket is taken by any bowler in that innings.
e) This rule excludes any
Tournament or Series market as covered in the Sport Specific Rules, Section
C, Paragraph 9(e).5.
2) “Man of the Match/
Player of the Match” bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be
declared void. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat or bowl will be
settled as losers. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules will apply as
explained in the Sport Specific Rules, Section C, Paragraph 9(a).1.
3) “Next Man Out” &
“First Batsman Dismissed” bets will be settled as void if either player retires
due to injury or any other reason before the wicket falls or if there are no
further wickets. Both named batsmen must be batting at the fall of the
nominated wicket for bets to stand.
4) “Most Runs” (2-way
& 3-way) matchups require that both/all players reach the batting crease
while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary they face a ball, nor must
the quoted players have batted together, otherwise bets will be void. In the
event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules will apply as
explained in the Sport Specific Rules, Section C, Paragraph 9(a).1.
5) “Most Wickets” (2-way
& 3-way) matchups require that both/all players bowl at least 1 ball for
bets to stand. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat
rules will apply as explained in the Sport Specific Rules, Section C,
Para 9(a).1.
6) “Player Performance”
bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void.
Settlement is based on the following points-based scoring system:
· 1 point per run scored
(batsman only);
· 10 points per catch
taken (fielder or wicket keeper only);
· 20 points per wicket
(bowler only);
· 25 points per stumping
(wicket keeper only).
Additionally, for all
limited overs matches, all bets will be declared as void should the number of
overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard
scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs
match. Should the outcome of such offers already be decided before the
interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such
bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
7) “Player to take 5 or
more Wickets/Player’s Total Wickets/Player to take a wicket” bets placed on any
player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Bets will also be void if
the player does not bowl a ball.
8) “Player to take make
a Duck” (Yes/No) bets require that the player reaches the batting crease while
a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary they face a ball.
9) For “Player to score
Fastest 50/Century” betting, settlement is based on the least number of balls
faced to reach the milestone (either 50 runs or 100 runs). In the event of a
tie, dead heat rules will apply as explained in the Sport Specific Rules, Section
C, Paragraph 9(a).1.
10) For “Race to X Runs”
bets, both players must open the batting for bets to stand.
11) “Player’s Total
Runs/Player’s Total 4s/Player’s Total 6s” (Over/Under) betting requires that
the player reach the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not
necessary they face a ball. In cases where a batsman’s innings is ended by
weather or bad light, all bets where a result has not been determined will be
declared void. A result is deemed to have been determined if a batsman has
passed the run total at which the bet was accepted, if a batsman has been
dismissed or if an innings completed/declaration made. For example, if a
batsman’s score stands at 50 “Not-Out” when a game or innings is terminated due
to bad light or rain, all bets on 50.5 runs will be voided unless the game has
reached its natural conclusion. However, all bets on Over 49.5 Runs will be
considered as winning while bets on Under 49.5 Runs will be settled as losing.
Should a batsman retire due to injury or any other reason, his score at the end
of his team’s innings will be considered as the result for that bet.
Additionally, for all limited overs matches, all bets will be declared as void
should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from
the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other
limited overs match. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided
before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome
of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
12) “Player to Score
50/Half Century” (Yes/No) betting requires that the player reach the batting
crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary that they face a
ball. A player is deemed to have scored 50 or a “Half Century” once their score
is 50 or more runs regardless of whether the player scores a century or more.
In cases where a batsman’s innings is ended by weather or bad light, all bets
where a result has not been determined will be declared void, unless the game
has reached a natural conclusion. Should a batsman retire due to injury or any
other reason, his score at the end of his team’s innings will be considered as
the result for that bet. Additionally, for all limited overs matches, should
the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs
being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted,
then all open (player to score 50) bets will be declared void if the reduction
is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the
scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team
innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should
the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no
further play could possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be
settled accordingly.
13) “Player to Score 100/Century/200/Double
Century” (Yes/No) betting requires that the player reach the batting crease
while a ball is bowled, though not necessarily facing a ball. A player is
deemed to have scored 100 or a “Century” once their score is 100 or more runs
regardless of whether the player scores a double century or more. Similarly, a
player is deemed to have scored 200 or a “Double Century” once their score is
200 or more runs. In cases where a batsman’s innings is ended by weather or bad
light, all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void.
Should a batsman retire due to injury or any other reason, his score at the end
of his team’s innings will be considered as the result for that bet.
Additionally, for all limited overs matches, should the intervention of rain
(or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those
initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (player to
score 100/200) bets will be declared void if the reduction is 10% or more of
those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at
the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10
overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome
of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play
would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled
accordingly.
c. Limited Overs Cricket
(including One-Day Internationals, Twenty20s & Domestic One-Day cricket)
1) Should a match be
transferred to a “reserve” day, all bets will remain valid as long as the game
commences within 48 hours of the original, scheduled start time.
2) Match odds
(head-to-head) betting pays on the official result. In the event of a tie, dead
heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply
unless a subsequent tiebreaker method is used to determine the winner (e.g.,
Super Over, Bowl-out), in which case the outcome will be settled on the result
of this method. Should the match be declared a “no-result” all bets are void.
3) If any “Super Over”
or tiebreaker is required, any runs, wickets or any other stat that may occur
in the Super Over/tie breaker do not count towards any betting market (except
match result) including player bet offers & team totals (e.g., Top
batsman/bowler, player runs, total 6’s, to take at least X wickets). This rule
does not apply to specific bet offers relating to “Super Overs” (e.g., Super
Over Total Runs).
4) For “Match Handicap /
Winning Margin” betting, settlement will depend on whether the winning team
bats 1st or 2nd. If the team batting 1st wins, then the
runs handicap will be used for settlement. If the team batting 2nd wins, then the
wickets handicap will be used for settlement. All bets will be declared as void
should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from
the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other
limited overs match.
5) For “Highest 1st 6/15 Overs” all
bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be
reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs
at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the
outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no
further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be
settled accordingly. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead
heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply.
6) “Highest Total 1st X Overs” bets will
be void should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the
number of overs in the match being reduced from those initially scheduled at
the time the bet was accepted. Should the outcome of such offers be already
decided before the interruption and no further play could possibly change the
outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
7) “Highest Opening
Partnership” requires that both sides complete their opening partnerships with
the exception of those situations where an outcome has already been determined.
An opening partnership is considered to have begun once the first ball is
bowled in a team innings, and lasts until the fall of 1st wicket or, should
no 1st wicket fall, the
innings reaching its natural conclusion. In the event of a tie, if no draw
price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General
Cricket Rules will apply.
Additionally, all “Highest
Opening Partnership” bets will be declared as void should the number of overs
in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled
number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already
reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the
interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such
bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
8) In “Fall of Next
Wicket” & “Opening Partnership” (Over/Under) betting, should either batsman
retire due to injury or any other reason before a result has been determined,
all bets placed before the retirement will be declared void; bets taken after
the first ball of the new partnership will stand. A result is deemed to have been
determined if the partnership total has passed the run total at which the bet
was accepted. If a team reaches their target, the total achieved by the batting
team will be the result of the market. If a partnership is disrupted due to
weather all bets will stand, unless there is no further play in the match. In
such case all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared
void. In relation to the over number at the fall of next wicket, any quoted
half refers to the whole over number not the specific balls bowled in each over
(e.g., over/under 5.5 refers to either “any delivery in over 5 & earlier”
or “any delivery in over 6 & later”).
Additionally, all Fall
of Wicket (F.O.W.) bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in
the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled
number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already
reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the
interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such
bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
9) For “Total Runs –
Innings X” (Over/Under) (e.g., Total Team Runs) betting, all bets will be
declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to
weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time
the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome
of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play
would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled
accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt: Any bets taken after the number of
overs has been reduced will stand unless there is a further reduction.
10) For “Total Runs –
Innings X, Overs X-X” (Over/Under) (e.g., Total Runs – Home Team, Overs 1-15)
betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be
reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs
in the match at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already
reduced). Should the outcome of such offers have already been decided before
the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such
bets, then these will be settled accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt: Any bets
taken after the number of overs has been reduced will stand unless there is a
further reduction.
11) For “Total 4s/6s/Boundaries/Wickets”
(Over/Under) betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of
overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number
of overs in the match at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or
already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers have already been decided
before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome
of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
Leg-bye and byes that reach/pass the boundary do
not count towards total 4s/6s. Overthrows awarded to the batsman do count.
Wides that reach the boundary are not counted. No-balls that reach the boundary
off the bat and are awarded to the batsman will be counted.
12) For “Most
Fours/Sixes/Wides/Run-outs/Boundaries/Ducks/Extras” betting, should the
intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced
from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open
(Most “X”) bets will be declared void if the reduction is 10% or more of those
scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time
the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or
less, then any reduction in overs will void (most “x”) bets. Should the outcome
of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play
would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled
accordingly. Leg-bye and byes that reach/pass the boundary do not count towards
total 4s/6s.
In the event of a tie,
if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the
General Cricket Rules will apply.
13) For “Total
Wides/Run-outs/Ducks/Extras/Stumpings” (Over/Under) betting, all bets will be
declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any
other reason) from the scheduled number of overs in the match at the time the
bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of
such offers have already been decided before the interruption and no further
play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled
accordingly. For wides and extras, settlement will include the runs scored from
wides and not just the number of wides bowled.
14) For “Highest
Individual Score”, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs
in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard
scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs
match. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the
interruption then these will be settled accordingly.
15) For “Team of Top Run
Scorer” betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in
the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time
the bet was accepted, then all open (team of top run scorer) bets will be
declared void if the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the
reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was
accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any
reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already
decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the
outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. In the event of a
tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of
the General Cricket Rules will apply.
16) For “Fifty/Century
in Match” (Yes/No) betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other
delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially
scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (fifty/century in
match) bets will be declared void if the reduction is 10% or more of those
scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time
the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or
less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome of such
offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would
possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.
17) For “Highest Total
Runs in an Over/Maximum Runs in an Over” (Over/Under) bets will be settled on
the greatest number of runs (including extras) scored in any one over of either
innings in the match.
All bets will be
declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any
other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was
accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such
offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would

the organizing association at the time of the podium presentation, disregarding
subsequent disqualifications, changes to the official result, etc.

event/stage and at least one completes the event/stage.
4) Bets referring to the
outcome upon completion of the event require that the specified event is
considered as completed in full and its result is declared, otherwise bets will
be declared void, unless the result is already determined. In case the full number
of stages for an event is not totally completed, or if the organizers decide to
remove the result of certain stages from the computation of the official
result, then the bets will be deemed valid if the number of the excluded stages
does not exceed 25% of the pre-established number of stages (excluding
prologue) at the beginning of the competition.
5) All bets will be deemed
as valid provided that the event, or the relative stage to which the bet
refers, is played within the same year, unless other arrangements have been
agreed to.
6) Bets on performances in
a particular stage stand regardless of any route modifications which the
organizers might deem fit to consider and apply during the stage. Exception to
this is the case where a stage which has particular characteristics (e.g., a
mountains stage) is changed by the organizers, before the stage starts, into a
stage which has other predominant characteristics (e.g., Time Trial or
low-lying stage). In such case bets which have been placed before the
announcement of the change in stage concept will be declared void.
7) Unless otherwise
specified, in a team/rider performance bet offer in a specific event (such as
Total Stage wins by Team/Rider X in Tour Y) or “Head-to-Head” bet offers

been agreed.
2) “Match” bet offers are
based on the general principle of tournament progress or tournament win,
depending on the phase of the competition to which the match refers. The player
progressing to the next round or winning the tournament is to be considered the
winner of the bet regardless of match duration, withdrawals, disqualifications,
etc.
3) “Over/Under” offers on
unfinished matches/events, the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome to the offers will be settled based on the result
achieved until the interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the
minimum number of occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer
to the natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of
legs which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a
situation where no possible variations could affect the outcome of the offer
this will be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section for
reference.
4) “Handicap” offers
require all scheduled sets to be completed for bets to stand except in those
events the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption
and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different
outcome to the offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the
Tennis section for reference.
5) All “Correct Score” and
“Odd/Even” offers, and those offers which refer to the winner of a particular
period in the match (e.g., “Player to win the first set” or “First Player to

interruption of play and any further continuation of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome.
7) Offers combining a
number of occurrences by a specific player within an event (e.g., King of the
Oche, etc.) require that all connotations related to the offer bet must be
fully and unquestionably complied with. Should 1 or more parts of the offer end
in a tie, bets will be settled as LOST.
14. Golf
1) All bets will be deemed
as valid provided the Tournament, or the relative round to which the bet
refers, is played within the same sporting season and within 3 months from the
last scheduled date (as per local course time), as issued by the governing
association, regardless of any time delays, unless other arrangements have been
agreed to.
2) All bets referring to
Tournament Performance, including but not limited to Winner, Place, Each-way,
Winner without X, Group Betting, Top Nationality, Individual Final Position,
etc., will be deemed valid as long as the minimum number of holes, applicable
to the offer, as per the rules of the governing association (e.g., 36 holes for
European Tour sanctioned events and 54 holes for PGA Tour sanctioned events),
have been completed by the eligible players, and an official result has been
declared by the sanctioning body. Should the format of a tournament be changed
so that it features less rounds/holes than originally scheduled, all bets
accepted on such offers after the last shot of the last completed round will be
declared void.
3) Bet offers already
decided are considered as valid bets even though 36 holes are not played and/or
an official result has not been issued by the organization.

start the tournament but withdraw voluntarily or are disqualified will be
settled as losing bets unless the result of the offer to which the bet refers

7) In outright bets which
include a limited selection of participants, such as Top Nationality, Group
Betting, SixShooters, etc., Desert Diamond reserves the right to apply

listed in the offer “miss the cut”, the player with the best position at the
time “cut” was made will be deemed the winner. Dead heat rules will apply
except for cases where a playoff has determined a better finishing position,
where applicable.
8) All “Head-to-Head” bet
offers require all participants to start in the event/round to which the bet
refers.
9) In “Head-to-Head” bets
featuring only two players, stakes will be refunded if both participants share
the same finishing position, and no draw option has been offered. In
“Head-to-Head” bets featuring three players, should two or more participants
share the same finishing position, stakes will be divided in accordance with
the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause 19.
10) Settlement of
“Head-to-Head” bet offers involving the performance of two or more players
(e.g., Best Finishing Position in the tournament) will be based upon the best
finishing position/lowest score (as applicable) achieved in the relative
event/round to which the bet refers.
11) Any reference to
Make/Miss the “Cut” requires an official cut/exclusion effected by the
organizers for bets to stand. In the case of tournaments where players are
eliminated during more than one phase, settlement will be based on a whether
the player has qualified or not following the first “Cut” made.
12) Disqualification/withdrawals
by a player before the “Cut” is made will result in the player being considered
as having missed the “Cut”. Disqualification/withdrawals subsequent to the
“Cut” being made will be irrelevant towards the original settlement of the
“Make the Cut” offers.
13) In “Head-to-Heads” based
on the best finishing position in the tournament, in case one player misses the
cut then the other player will be settled as the winner. If both participants
fail to make the “Cut” the player with the lowest score at the “Cut” will be
considered as the winner. Should both players fail to make the “Cut” with the
same score then the bet will be void. A player disqualified after the “Cut” has
been made is deemed to have beaten a player who has failed to make the “Cut”.
14) Any reference to
“Majors” will be based on the tournaments for that particular season to which
the PGA attributes the definition, regardless of any venue, date, or any other
changes.

result at the end of the specified round/timeframe. Dead heat rules will apply
for any tied placings.

game/period/ tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most

an active participant in at least one more game applicable for the offer for
bets to stand. Bets placed after any news which can even potentially reduce the
number of games any listed player is eligible for within the competition (e.g.,

particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted to reflect the current
state of the bet, will be declared void.

stats-based offers will be settled according to the official match reports as
published after the game by the organizing association.
17. Mixed
Martial Arts
1) All offers will be
settled according to the official result of the relevant governing body
immediately as declared by the ring announcer at the end of the fight. No
amendments made to the official result after being first announced will be
taken into consideration except for those which the organizing association
effects to rectify clear cases of human errors by the ring announcer.
2) Unless clearly specified
that the fights are unconfirmed, bets are only valid should the fight take
place on the card/date it was announced for regardless of any change in
venue/location. Bets will be settled as void should there be any official
announcement by the organizing body of a date postponement, re-scheduling to a
different card or change in fighters even if the match ends up taking place as
originally announced.
3) With the exception of
the instances as detailed in the Sport Specific Rules, Section C,
Paragraph 33, Clause 4, addition or removal of title stipulations
(e.g., a match initially announced as a non-title match gets changed into a
title match) or changes in weight classes as well as either/both of the
fighters fail to make the pre-established weight will not result in the voiding
of the offers provided the fight takes place on the card it was announced for.

number of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed between the time of bet
acceptance and the actual fight, offers which make specific reference to
rounds, such as “Round betting”, “Group of Rounds”, “Over/Under”, “Method of
Victory” and “To go the distance”, or other offers which would be affected by
such change, will be declared void.
5) For settlement purposes,

retirement before the start of a round, disqualification, or failure to answer
the bell, the fight will be deemed to have finished at the end of the previous

and no outcome prevails over the other.
8) A fight will only be
considered as having gone “the distance” only if a points/judges’ decision is
awarded after the full duration of all scheduled rounds has been completed. Any
scenario where a points/judges’ decision is awarded before the full number of
scheduled rounds is completed (e.g., fight is interrupted earlier due to a
clash of heads) will not be considered as having gone “the distance” and the
fight will be considered as having ended at the time/round in which the fight
was stopped and settled accordingly. Fights ending with a points/judges’
decision before the full duration of all scheduled rounds has been completed
and/or fights declared as “No contest” will have the “Method of Decision” offer
settled as void unless an applicable outcome has been made available for
betting.
9) In offers where a
draw/tie is possible and odds have not been offered for such outcome, bets will
be settled as void should the official result be declared as such. For

round/fight duration represents the actual time passed in the round/fight, as
applicable, depending on the scheduled round/fight duration. For example, a bet
on Over 4.5 Total Rounds will be settled as Over once two minutes and 30
seconds in the 5th Round has passed.
11) Settlement of statistics-based
offers such as “Fighter to have most takedowns” or “Fighter to have most
significant strikes” will be settled based on the results issued by the
governing association or its recognized official partner for such statistics.
Settlement will be based according to the definition with which the official
governing body issues the statistics. Desert Diamond will not consider
inconsistent personal interpretation of such terms. In cases where both
fighters are declared as having accomplished the same result, with that outcome
not having been available as a possible outcome for betting purposes, stakes
will be refunded.
12) Markets which confront
or tally different fights from the same card such as “Total Kos/TKOs on the
card” or “Total matches to end by decision on the card” will indicate the
number of fights required to take place on a card, or list specifically the
section of the card the bet relates to. Bets will remain valid should any
applicable fight be cancelled yet the number of fights on the card or the
applicable specific section of it remain the same (e.g., re-booking,
replacement fighter or undercard/preliminary matches being pushed to the main
card). Should for whatever reason the listed number of fights not take place
during the card or the specific section of it to which the bet refers, bets
will be settled as void.

for all sports related to Motor Racing, such as: Formula One, A1 GP, CART, Indy
Car, NASCAR, Circuit Racing, Touring Cars, DTM, Endurance, Rally, Rally-cross,
Motorcycling, Superbike.
2) Bets are settled
according to the publication of live timing and classification as shown on TV
at the time of podium presentations, or at the end of the session/race/event
(as applicable). Should the information required for the settling of the offer
be missing/not shown and/or incomplete, the first official information on the
official site will be deemed binding, regardless of subsequent promotions,
demotions, appeals and/or penalties inflicted after the termination of the
session/race to which the bet refers.
3) Events shortened due to
weather conditions or other situations, but deemed official by the governing
association, will be settled accordingly, regardless of any changes which the
associations might make due to the incompletion of the race.
4) Should an
event/race/session/lap/heat be restarted from the beginning, bets will stand
and will be settled according to the result issued after the restart, except
for those bets the outcome of which has already been determined.
5) For settlement purposes,
a driver/rider who has taken part in an officially sanctioned practice or
qualification session is considered to have taken part in the event, regardless
of his eventual participation in the actual race.
6) In “Head-to-Head” bets
all listed participants must take part in the session to which the bet refers
for bets to stand, regardless of whether a driver manages to get an official time.
7) In “Outright” or “Place”
bets, no refunds will apply on those participants who do not take part for any
reason, for the session/event/championship to which the offer refers.
8) Settlement for any offer
with reference to “Race completion” will be based on official regulations as
issued by the governing association.
9) A “Head-to-Head” bet
where both drivers/riders fail to complete the race is determined on the basis
of the most laps completed (except in cases of Rally, where at least one of the
listed participants must complete the event, otherwise the bets will be
declared void). For a race determined on the basis of most laps completed, if
both participants are recorded for the same number of laps, the bet is declared
void.
10) Time penalties inflicted
by the governing Association during the qualifying session(s) will count. Other
grid demotions/promotions are disregarded.
11) A Race is considered to
have started when the warm-up lap starts (where applicable), thus all drivers/riders
taking part in the warm-up lap are deemed to have started. In case of a
participant whose start is delayed, or starts the race from the pit lane, the
participant is also deemed to have taken part.
12) Settlement of seasonal markets
will take into account the classification issued exactly after the completion
of the last race of the season including any decisions taken by the organizing
association during the season, provided the decision is issued before the last
race of the season. Any decision (even on appeal) taken after the end of the
last stipulated race is deemed as irrelevant.
13) All bets which make
reference to teams’ performances will stand regardless of any driver/rider
changes.
14) Bets will stand
regardless of any schedule/location/circuit changes provided the race/event is
held within the same year/season, regardless of any time delays, calendar
order, etc., except for those bets placed after 00:00CET of the Monday of the
week for which the race/event is scheduled, which will be refunded should the
race/event/session to which the offer refers not be held within 7 days of the
scheduled date at the time the bet was placed.
15) Bets referring to
specific teams’ performance during the race require the initially stipulated
number of vehicles from each team to start the race for bets to stand,
otherwise they will be declared void (e.g., in Formula 1, two cars from each
team should start the race).
16) Settlement of bets
referring to the inclusion of the “Safety Car” will not take into account those
occurrences in which the actual race starts behind the “Safety Car”.
17) Settlement of offers on
the first driver/car to retire will be based on the actual lap in which the
driver is considered to have withdrawn from the race. Thus, if two or more
drivers retire during the same lap bets will be settled in accordance
with the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause 14.
18) Bets on the First/Next
Driver to retire during the race will include only the outcomes deriving after
the official start of the race. Any retirements/withdrawals previous to the
actual start of the GP (including those during the warm-up lap) will not be
considered for settlement purposes.

of play or even after eventual extra (over) time is played. In such cases, bets
will be settled according to the dead heat rule, where the payout would be
calculated after the odds are divided and then multiplied by the stake,
regardless of whether the net payout is lower than the patron’s stake. Should
such provision be in place it would be listed in conjunction with the bet
offer.
4) Try Scorers

specified, offers referring to individual player performance in a single match
(e.g., Total Tries Scored by Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players
during the course of a match (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most
Tries) require all listed participants to play from the start of the match to
be valid.

individual player performances (e.g., Total Tries Scored by Player X during the
World Cup) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
game/period/tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most
tries during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals be an
active participant in at least one more event for the bets to be valid. Bets
placed after any news which can potentially reduce the number of events any
listed player is eligible for within the competition (e.g.,
injury/transfer/trade news), thus altering the odds theoretically in favor of
any particular outcome without such odds adjusted to reflect the current state
of the bet, will be declared void. Settlement of similar bets will be based on
the result after potential over (extra) time, unless otherwise stated.
7) All bets stand,
regardless of change of venue.

period/match that can end in a draw, either at the end of the normal 80 minutes
of play or even after eventual extra (over) time is played. In such cases bets
are settled according to the dead heat rule, where the payout would be
calculated after the odds are divided and then multiplied by the stake,
regardless of whether the net payout is lower than the patron’s stake. Should
such provision be in place it would be listed in conjunction with the bet
offer.

specified, offers referring to individual player performance in a single match
(e.g., Total Tries Scored by Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual

World Cup) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
game/period/tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most
tries during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals be an
active participant in at least one more event for bets to stand. Bets placed
after any news which can potentially reduce the number of events any listed
player is eligible for within the competition (e.g., injury/transfer/trade
news), and theoretically alter the odds in favor of any particular outcome

bet offers are based on the general principle of tournament progress or
tournament win, depending on the phase of the competition to which the match refers.
The player progressing to the next round or winning the tournament is to be
considered the winner of the bet regardless of match duration, withdrawals,
disqualifications, etc. These bets require at least one frame to be completed
for bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” offers on
unfinished matches/events in which the outcome is already determined prior to
the interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not produce a
different outcome to such offers will be settled based on the result achieved
prior to the interruption occurred. For the calculation of these settlements,
the minimum number of occurrences which should have been needed to bring the
offer to its natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the
number of frames which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation
produce a situation where no possible variations could affect the outcome of
the offer this will be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section
for reference.
4) “Handicap” offers
require all scheduled frames to be completed for bets to stand except in those

Tennis section for reference.

except for those offers the outcome of which is already determined before an
interruption of play and any further continuation of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome.

market will be opened. An exception will be made for those offers in which the
outcome is already determined prior to the re-rack and any further continuation
of play could not produce a different outcome.
25. Soccer
1) First/Next Goalscorer –
The bet refers to a specific player being the scorer of the listed goal within
the applicable timeframe or being the first scorer for his team (e.g., “First
Goalscorer – Team X”). Stakes will be refunded on players who do not take part
in the match or come on the field of play after the listed goal to which the
bet refers has been scored. Own goals do not count for the settlement of this
offer. Should the goal to which the bet refers be deemed as an own goal, the
next player to score a goal which is not an own goal and which conforms with
the bet offer parameters will be deemed as the winning outcome. In case no
goals (or no further goals, as applicable) is/are scored which are not own
goals and which fulfil the remaining bet offer parameters, all bets will be
considered lost, unless an applicable option has been listed within the offer.
2) Last Goalscorer – The
bet refers to a specific player being the scorer of the last goal either during
a particular timeframe of the event (e.g., “Last goal in the match” or “Last
goal in the 1st Half”) or being the last scorer for his team (e.g., “Last
Goalscorer – Team X”). Stakes will be refunded only on players who do not take
part in the match at all. In all other instances bets will remain valid,
regardless of the time of inclusion/substitution of the player. Own goals do
not count for the settlement of this offer. Should the goal to which the bet
refers be deemed as an own goal, the previous player to score a goal which is
not an own goal and which conforms with the bet offer parameters will be deemed
as the winning outcome. In case no goals (or no previous goals, as applicable)
is/are scored which are not own goals and which fulfil the remaining bet offer
parameters, all bets will be considered lost.
3) “Scorecast” and
“Matchcast” are bet offers where it is possible to bet simultaneously on a
particular occurrence (e.g., First Goalscorer) combined with another from the
same or related event (e.g., Correct Score in the match or match outcome).
Should the bet refer to First or Last Goal Scorer, terms and conditions as
stated in Sport Specific Rules, Section C, Paragraphs 25.1 and 25.2 will
apply, where applicable. Stakes will be refunded on players who do not take
part in the match at all. In all other instances bets will remain valid,
regardless of the time of inclusion/substitution of the player. Own goals do
not count for the settlement of this offer.
4) Unless otherwise
specified, or indicated in conjunction with the bet offer, all bets placed
before match start related to whether a specific player(s) will manage to score
any number of goals require the listed player(s) to play from the start of the
match to be valid. Similar types of bets placed after the relevant match has
started will be settled as void should the listed player(s) not take any
further part in the match for whatever reason after bet acceptance. Own goals
will never count as a goal scored for any selected player.
5) On all bets related to
yellow/red cards, booking points, etc. only cards shown to players which at
that moment are on the pitch are valid for settlement purposes. Cards,
disciplinary actions, or suspensions imposed on any other individual who at the
moment of the sanction is not, or should not, be actively playing on the pitch,
as well as disciplinary measures taken after the game has officially ended, are
disregarded.
6) Unless otherwise
specified or indicated in conjunction with the bet offer, all
disciplinary-related bets placed before match start referring to individual(s)
(e.g., yellow card, red card, number of fouls) require the listed player(s) to
play from the start of the match to be valid. Similar type of bets placed after
the relevant match has started will be settled as void should the listed
player(s) not take any further part in the match for whatever reason after bet
acceptance.
7) “Booking Points” are
calculated according to the following rules: Yellow card = 10 points; Red card
= 25 points. Maximum points for one player are 35.
8) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single match (e.g., Total Goals Scored by
Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players during the course of
a match (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most Goals) require all
listed individuals to play from the start of the match for bets to stand.
9) Offers referring to
individual player performance (e.g., Total Goals Scored by Player X during the
World Cup) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most goals
during the league) require that all listed individuals must be an active
participant in at least one more event applicable for the bets to stand. Bets
placed after any news which can potentially reduce the number of events any
listed player is eligible for within the competition (e.g.,
injury/transfer/trade news), and theoretically alter the odds in favor of any
particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted to reflect the current
state of the bet, will be declared void.
10) All bets referring to
aggregated Tournament Totals (such as Goals, Corners, Cards, Penalties, etc.)
will be settled based on official statistics by the governing association.
Unless otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will include eventual
prolongations (e.g., Extra Time) but not Penalty Shoot-outs.
11) Unless specifically
stated, all bets referring to a particular team winning a number/selection of
trophies in the same season will be based on the particular team’s performance
within the following competitions: the domestic league, the apparent equivalent
of the respective FA Cup and League Cup as well as the Champions League or
Europa League. Other trophies (e.g., domestic and European Super Cup, World
Club Cup) do not count.
12) The “Domestic Double” is
to be considered as the team’s victory in the apparent equivalent of the
respective domestic league and FA Cup.
13) For settlement purposes,
bets referring to the number of cards shown by the referee will be counted as
follows:
· Yellow card = 1
· Red card = 2
· One yellow and a red = 3
· Two yellow cards and a
red = 3
The maximum cards for one player is 3 cards.
Only cards shown to players currently eligible as per the Sport Specific
Rules, Section C, Paragraph 25, Clause 5, will be taken into
consideration.
14) Bets on whether a
particular player will manage to score from certain areas of the pitch (e.g.,
from outside the “penalty box”) will be settled based on the position of the
ball at the time the shot was struck by the player, regardless of any further
deflections which the ball trajectory might incur following the initial shot.
For the sake of clarity, the lines delineating the “penalty box” are to be
considered as an integral part of such area of the pitch. Thus, should a shot
be struck with the ball hovering above, or touching, even partially, the lines,
the shot will not be considered as having been affected from outside the box.
15) Bets on whether a
particular player will manage to hit the cross bar, goal post or any other part
of the frame delineating the goal area will only be settled as having
accomplished such feat if the shot does not result directly in a goal being
awarded exactly after the ball hits a part of the goal frame. Settlement will
only take into consideration shots aimed at the goal frame defended by the
opponents of the listed player’s team. Should a player have a shot which hits
the post their team defends, this will not be considered as having accomplished
such feat.
16) During certain events
Desert Diamond might decide to offer a reduced selection of participants for
betting (e.g., Any unlisted Team X player) or a single participant as a
representation of the whole squad (e.g., “Any Team X player”). In both cases
for settlement purposes, all unlisted squad members are to be deemed as
starters (and settled as such), including substitutes regardless of whether
they take part in the match or not.
17) Bets on the performance
of players starting the match on the bench will be settled as void if the
player is either listed in the starting XI (11 players) or does not take part
in the match at all.
18) On offers such as Next
Goalscorer, Next Carded player, Next Assist and Man of the Match stakes will be
refunded should the chosen player not take part in the match at all or had no
possibility to accomplish such feat during the specified timeframe.
19) Bets on “Next Assist”
for a particular goal will be settled as void should the governing association
declare the specified goal as having been unassisted, the specified goal was an
own goal and/or no more goals were scored in the match during the specified
timeframe.
20) Bets referring to
penalty kicks conversion and/or outcome will be settled according to the
outcome occurred on the field of play as per the rules governing that specific
scenario and in cases of penalty shoot-outs will remain valid regardless of the
format employed by the governing association during the shoot-out. Bets stand
in case the penalty is ordered to be re-taken and will be settled with the
outcome achieved from the re-taken penalty.
As a general principle, settlement will be based
on the concept that unless the penalty kick results in a goal being awarded
(and settled accordingly), the first person/object/location (as applicable)
which the ball initially touches after being kicked will be considered as the
winning outcome, disregarding any other persons/objects the ball hits in its
subsequent trajectory following any previous deflection, if any. The following
examples are being issued as a general guideline on settlement:
“Goal” would be the winning outcome in case of
the following scored penalties scenarios:
· Any penalty kick which
ends up as a goal without it being deflected;
· Goalkeeper touches the
penalty kick, but ball ends up as goal;
· Penalty kick touches the
woodwork before ending up in goal.
“Save” would be the winning outcome in case of
the following missed penalties scenarios:
· Goalkeeper deflects the
penalty kick to outside the goal frame;
· Goalkeeper deflects the
penalty kick onto the post/crossbar.
“Woodwork” would be the winning outcome in case
of the following missed penalties scenarios:
· Penalty kick hits the
woodwork before it is touched/saved by the goalkeeper;
· Penalty kick hits the
woodwork and ball goes outside the goal frame.
“Any other Miss” would be the winning outcome in
case of any penalty kick which without any deflection either by the goalkeeper
or by the woodwork ends up outside the goal frame.
Exception to the above scenarios would be: 1)
during a penalty shoot-out, if the ball hits the woodwork, bounces on the
goalkeeper and ends in goal, the penalty will be considered as
having been scored and “Goal” will be considered as the winning outcome); and
2) during any other part of the match that is not a penalty shoot-out, if the
ball hits the woodwork, bounces on the goalkeeper and ends in goal, the penalty
taker will be considered as having missed the score and “Woodwork” will be
considered as the winning outcome.
21) Any decision taken by
the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) which conflicts with the original decision
sanctioned by the officials on the pitch (including non-decisions like allowing
play to continue before reviewing the video), thus altering the understood
state of the match at the time of bet placement, will result in all bets placed
in the timeframe between the actual occurrence of the original incident and the
referee’s final decision on the incident being deemed as void, unless the odds
offered on the specific bet offer are unaffected by the use of VAR or have
already been accounted for in the odds offered at the time of bet acceptance.
Settlement on all other unrelated bet-offers, including those determined by any
play between the time of the original incident and the decision following the
VAR review, which are not influenced/altered by the VAR decision will stand.
For settlement purposes, VAR reviews, and
the decisions emanating from the reviews to be considered as having happened at
the time of the original incident for which the VAR would be eventually used
even if play has not been immediately interrupted. Desert Diamond reserves the
right, in accordance with the Conditions of Agreement, Section A,
Paragraph 6, Clause 2, to reverse any previously settled offers where the
settlement becomes inaccurate following the final referee decision, providing
the decision is taken and communicated before the conclusion of the match
and/or timeframe listed.
In order to avoid any doubts, Desert Diamond
will consider the VAR as having been used if it is understood from the
referee’s gestures (e.g., hand gestures, stopping the match to review the
incident themselves), and/or the VAR usage is confirmed by the match report
issued by the organizing association. In cases where it is unclear whether the
VAR has been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, Desert
Diamond will settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed
providers and generally reputable online sources on the basis of equity.
22) For settlement purposes,
markets referring to team to be shown the next Card (booking) and/or “Total
Cards” will always consider a Red Card as 2 instances of a card being shown and
will be settled accordingly. The following examples are being listed as a
guideline:
· First card shown in a
match is a straight Red Card. The team to which the card is awarded will be
settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1 and #2;
· First card shown in a
match is a Yellow Card followed by a straight Red Card to the same player
without a second yellow card being shown. The team to which the cards are
awarded will be settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2
and #3;
· First card shown in a
match is a Yellow Card followed by a second Yellow Card with a subsequent Red
Card to the same player. The team to which the cards are awarded will be
settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2 and #3.
23) Markets referring to
which specific player will be the next to be booked/receive a card are to be
understood and settled as per the order of the instance in which each single
player gets booked/sent off by the referee. The card color shown by the referee
will not be given any consideration in the settlement of this offer and the
decisive criteria will always be the order in which the single player is
considered to have gone into the referee’s book. For settlement purposes, it is
possible for a single player to be listed twice as the “Next Carded player”
provided both bookings occur during different interruptions of play. Should 2
or more players be booked during the same interruption of play, bets on this
offer will be settled as void.
24) Any reference to “Free
Kicks” when presented as either a single outcome or as an occurrence will also
take into consideration instances awarded for offsides and any other violation
except those sanctioned with a penalty.
25) Offers that refer to a
specific player playing the whole match require that specified player to start
the match for the bet to stand. For settlement purposes, bets will be settled
as YES only if the specified player is neither substituted nor sent off during
Regular Time only. Eventual extra time does not count.
26. Speedway
1) All offers will be
settled based on the official result declared by the governing association at
the completion of the last scheduled heat. Subsequent promotions, demotions,
appeals and/or penalties inflicted after the termination of the event to which
the bet refers are disregarded.
2) “Match” bets between two
teams/riders are settled according to the official result, regardless of the
number of heats completed.
3) “Over/Under” offers on unfinished
matches/events, the outcome of which is already determined before an
interruption and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce
a different outcome to offers, will be settled based on the result achieved
until the interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the minimum
amount of occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer to the
natural conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of sets
which the match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a situation
where no possible alterations could affect the outcome of the offer this will
be settled as such. See examples from the Tennis section for reference.
4) “Handicap” offers
require all scheduled heats to be completed for bets to stand except in those
events the outcome of which is already determined before the interruption
and/or any further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different
outcome to offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the
Tennis section for reference.
5) All “Head-to-Head” and
“Over/Under” bets featuring the performance of one or more riders in an
event/heat are considered valid provided all listed riders take part in at
least one heat for bets to stand.

participants to take part in the particular heat for bets to stand.
27. Squash
1) All terms and conditions
stated for Tennis apply where applicable.

the performance of one or more surfers are considered valid provided all listed
surfers start in the listed heat/event.
3) Certain
competitions/events might have offers that are relevant to the performance in
an event where two or more listed surfers are eliminated in the same stage. In
this case bets would be settled according to the dead heat rule, where the
payout would be calculated after the odds are divided and then multiplied by
the stake, regardless of whether the net payout is lower than the patron’s
stake. Should such provision be in place it would be listed in conjunction with
the bet offer.
29. Swimming
1) Unless otherwise stated,
all bets on Swimming are determined on the basis of the result after the final
stage of that competition. If neither of the listed participants takes part in
the final stage, all bets will be void, unless the governing association
follows specific tiebreaking procedures, in which case these will be deemed
valid.
2) All bet offers will be
settled based on the first official result being presented. However, Desert
Diamond will take into account and settle/re-settle accordingly any changes to
the official result issued within 24 hours after the event has taken place. For
such eventuality to be considered, a protest must be attributable to incidents
happening exclusively during the event, such as a lane infringement, an early
start in a relay race, etc. No doping cases will be considered. The result
available at the end of the aforementioned 24 hours will be deemed as binding regardless
of any further protests, changes to the official result, etc.
3) If two or more
participants take part in different heats during a competition, all
Head-To-Head-offers between them will be considered void, unless there is a
later stage in the competition that at least one of them qualifies for.
4) A participant who is
disqualified due to the infringement of the start procedure (false start) will
be deemed to have taken part in the event.
30. Tennis
and Racket Sports (Badminton, Rackleton, Squash & Table Tennis)
1) All bets will remain
valid provided the match/offer is played within the tournament framework
regardless of any changes (either before or during the match) in conditions
(indoor/outdoor) and/or surface types, unless other arrangements have been
agreed.
2) Match Bet offers are
based on the general principle of tournament progress or tournament win,
depending on the phase of the competition to which the match refers. The
player/team progressing to the next round or winning the tournament is to be
considered as the winner of the bet regardless of withdrawals,
disqualifications, etc. These bets require at least one set to be completed for
bets to stand.
3) “Over/Under” and
“Spreads” (or “Handicap”) offers on unfinished matches in which the outcome is
already determined before an interruption of play and/or
any further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different outcome
to the offers will be settled based on the result achieved until the
interruption. For the calculation of these settlements, the minimum number of
occurrences which should have been needed to bring the offer to its natural
conclusion will be added as necessary depending on the number of sets which the
match is scheduled for. Should this calculation produce a situation where no
possible variations could affect the outcome of the offer this will be settled
as such. The following examples can be used for consideration:
Example 1 - Over/Under: A retirement occurs in a
match scheduled for three sets with the score 7-6, 4-4. The offers: “Total
Games Set 2 – 9.5” (or any lines lower than that amount) & “Total Games
Played in the Match – 22.5” (or any lines lower than that amount) will be
settled with “Over” bets as winning and “Under” bets as losing. Bets on lines
higher than that will be settled as void.
Example 2 - Handicap: A retirement occurs at the
start of the 3rd set in a match
scheduled for 5 sets with the score at 1-1. Bets on +2.5/-2.5 Sets will be settled
as winners and losers respectively. Offers on any lines lower than that amount
will be settled as void.
4) All “Correct Score”
(namely Set Betting and Game Betting) and “Odd/Even” offers, and those offers
which refer to the winner of a particular period in the match (e.g., “Which
player will win the first set?” and “Set 2 – Game 6: Winner”), require the
relevant part of the match to be completed.
5) All types of offers not
specified above require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand,
except for those offers in which the outcome is already determined prior to an
interruption of play and any further continuation of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome.
6) In a Doubles match, all
bets will be declared void if any of the stated players are substituted or
replaced.
7) Any reference to “Grand
Slams” will be based on the tournaments for that particular season to which the
ITF attributes the definition, regardless of any venue, date or any other changes.
8) Unless explicitly
stated, all bets on Davis Cup matches will be voided if the match is played in
any other format other than “Best of 5 Sets” (e.g., Best of 3 Sets).
9) All Davis Cup offers
explicitly assume that the particular match-up will form part of the so-called
“rubbers” for the next available singles session, which usually consists of two
singles matches per session. All bets will be cancelled on matches which are
intended for the first or second rubber (usually Friday Singles matches) which
had the listed participants changed, regardless of the fact that the same
encounter could actually happen during other match-ups of the same tie/round.
10) Results acquired in a
“Pro Set” will be valid only for the following offers: “Match”, “Set Handicap”,
“Set Betting” and “Total Sets”. All other types of offers will be settled as
void, with the exception of offers for which the outcome is already determined.
11) As a general rule
“tiebreaks” are always considered as 1 game only, regardless of the number of
points needed to win or whatever the format of the “tiebreak”. The following
tiebreaking scenarios will be settled as follows:
· “Match tiebreak”:
Normally played instead of the decisive set when both participants have won the
same number of sets. For settlement purposes, this is considered as a full set
as well as a game and counted accordingly. However, it will not be considered
as a tiebreak for the settlement of the relevant offers;
· “Tiebreak at 6-6 in a
set, first to 7 points”: For settlement purposes, this is considered to be 1
game and counted accordingly as well as a tiebreak for the settlement of the
relevant offers;
· “Tiebreak at 6-6 in a
set, first to 10 points”: For settlement purposes, this is considered to be 1
game and counted accordingly as well as a tiebreak for the settlement of the
relevant offers;
· “Tiebreak at 12-12 in a
set, first to 7 points”: For settlement purposes, this is considered to be 1
game and counted accordingly as well as a tiebreak for the settlement of the
relevant offers;
· “Tiebreak at 3-3 in a
set, first to 7 points” (aka Fast 4 format): For settlement purposes, this is
considered to be 1 game and counted accordingly as well as a tiebreak for the
settlement of the relevant offers;
· “Tiebreak Tens”: A match
which consists solely of a tiebreak with the winning participant being the one
to first reach 10 points and lead by a margin of 2. This is considered both as
a tiebreak and as a full match for the settlement of the relevant offers.
Should any match include a tiebreaking format
not listed above, offers will be settled according to the definitions as
described by the ITF or, in absentia, the closest in principle to the examples
listed above.
12) Win/Place and Each-Way
bets referring to the Tournament Winner placed between the time of the first
publication of the main draw by the organizing association and the start of the
competition will be refunded should the listed participant not take any further
part in the Tournament. Exception will be made for any participants still
involved in the qualifying stages as these will be considered as active
participants.
31. Volleyball
1) Any points tallied
during the so called “Golden Set” will not count for the settlement of the
offers relating to that particular match, with the exception of any bets
referring to tournament progression and Tournament Totals.
2) Settlement of
player-related bets in match/event/tournament will be based on the result after
potential over (extra) time, unless otherwise stated.
3) Offers referring to
individual player performance in a single match (e.g., Total Points Scored by
Player X) or relative performance of 2 individual players during the course of
a match (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the most Points) require all
listed individuals to be an active participant in the applicable match for bets
to stand.
4) “Over/Under” and
“Handicap” offers on unfinished matches in which the outcome is already
determined prior to the interruption of play and/or where any further
continuance of play could not produce a different outcome to such offers will
be settled based on the result achieved until the interruption. For the
calculation of these settlements, the minimum number of occurrences which
should have been needed to bring the offer to its natural conclusion will be
added as necessary depending on the number of sets which the match is scheduled
for. Should this calculation produce a situation where no possible variations
could affect the outcome of the offer, this will be settled as such. See
examples from the Tennis section for reference.
5) All “Correct Score” and
“Odd/Even” offers, and those offers which refer to the winner of particular
period/timeframe in the match (e.g., “Which team will win the 1st set?” and
“Set 2 – Race to 15 points”), require the relevant part of the match to be
completed.
6) All type of offers not
specified above require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand,
except for those offers in which the outcome is already determined before an
interruption of play and any further continuation of play could not possibly
produce a different outcome.
7) Offers referring to
individual player performance (e.g., Total Points Scored by Player X during the
World Championship) or relative performance of 2 individual players over a
particular period/tournament/season (e.g., Will Player X or Player Y score the
most points during the Regular Season) require that all listed individuals must
be an active participant in at least one more event applicable for the offer to
stand. Bets placed after any news which can potentially reduce the number of
events any listed player is eligible for within the competition (e.g.,
injury/transfer/trade news), and theoretically alter the odds in favor of any
particular outcome without the odds having been adjusted to reflect the current
state of the bet, will be declared void.
32. Winter
Sports
1) This section is valid
for the following sports: Alpine Skiing, Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing,
Freestyle, Nordic Combined, Short Track, Ski Jumping, Snowboard & Speed
Skating.
2) Results from a
competition will be deemed valid if it is declared as a valid competition for
the relevant category, by the governing association for that sport. This
applies in case of an event being shortened, such as only consisting of one
run/jump instead of two, or an event being moved to another venue.
3) In cases of
abandoned/uncompleted events, all those offers the outcome of which is already
determined before the interruption of play and any further continuation of play
could not possibly produce a different outcome are deemed valid and will be
settled accordingly.
4) All offers will be
settled as void if the original/stated format of an event is completely
changed, like the size of hill in Ski Jumping, style in Cross Country Skiing,
etc.
5) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to apply Tattersalls Rule 4 in case of a non-starter in a “Group
Betting” (“Best of X”) offer.
6) Offers related to
specific Winter Sports events (excluding, for example, bets referring to
Overall classifications, Olympic, World and Continental competitions) are
offered with the explicit assumption that the particular event will be the next
event held in that particular sports/discipline. Should the specific event be
moved for any reason whatsoever and an exactly similar event for that sports/discipline
is held in the same location starting in not more than 72 hours, the bets will
be valid for the next scheduled event in that sports/discipline. Thus, if, for
example, two separate races from the same sports/discipline are scheduled for
Friday and Saturday and the Friday competition is moved to Saturday or Sunday,
the bets on the Friday competition will be settled in accordance with the next
scheduled event, in this case Saturday’s events. In cases where just 1 event is
scheduled in that sports/discipline and the starting time is moved less than 72
hours, bets will remain valid and will be settled accordingly. Should no event
with the same connotations be held in the 72 hour period after the initially
scheduled time, bets will be settled as void.
7) In a “Head-to-Head”
between two or three participants, at least one of the listed participants must
complete the final run/stage/jump to which the bet refers, for bets to be
considered valid. Such provision is not applicable for Cross Country Sprint
events, which include different elimination stages, or to Ski Jumping. In such
cases, settlement will be based on the official classification regardless of
whether any of the listed participants completes the final run/stage/jump.
33. Other
(Non- Sport/Special Bets)
1) The conditions stated in
this section refer to all offers which would not be reasonably classified under
the different sports categories (Ex. TV Programs, Politics, Awards &
Prizes, Beauty Contests, Entertainment and similar). Whenever applicable, and
unless otherwise stated in this section or in the offer, settlement of these
offers will be based on the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph
5.
2) Unless otherwise
specified below or in conjunction with the bet offer, all bets which fall under
this section are valid until a result is officially declared regardless of any
delays in the announcement, extra voting rounds, etc. which would be needed for
the outcome to be announced.
3) All open offers involving
participants who withdraw/have been evicted from TV shows (either departing
voluntarily or following an organizer’s decision) will be settled as lost.
Should the same participant re-enter the same competition at a later date,
he/she will be treated as a new contestant thus previous bets will be settled
as lost.
4) Bets referring to the
removal of a participant are only valid for the next scheduled show. Any
changes to the methods of eviction, amount and/or line-up of participants
eliminated during the same program, or any other factors which were not
reasonably expected, will result in the bets referring to “Next eviction” or
“Next Elimination” to be voided.
5) In the event of the show
terminating before an official winner is declared, bets will be settled as a
tie (i.e., dead heat) between the contestants who have not been eliminated.
Win/Place bets on contestants who have been already eliminated will be settled
as lost.
6) Politics markets will be
settled in accordance with the result as confirmed 12 hours after it was first
published by the government organization responsible for holding the election
within that particular jurisdiction on its official website/social media. In
essence, once a relevant governmental organization declares an official result
and confirms it for 12 hours, this will constitute the basis for settlement
regardless of eventual protests, disputes, sub-judice results and/or successive
changes to the official result.
7) For the sake of maximizing
user experience, Desert Diamond reserves the right, in its discretion, to use
information collected from generally reputable and historically accurate
sources to settle markets before the official result, as described in the Sport
Specific Rules, Section C, Paragraph 33, Clause 6, is
proclaimed and confirmed. In the unusual cases where, after the eventual
publishing and confirmation of the first official result, a discrepancy is
found which changes the outcome of the market, Desert Diamond will rectify the
Error and honor the eventual winning bets as per official result, while
effecting all necessary amendments in accordance with the Conditions of
Agreement, Section A, Paragraph 6, Clause 2. Changes
deriving from eventual protests, disputes, sub-judice results and/or successive
changes to the official result after has been issued/confirmed will not be
considered.
Section D. eSports Specific Rules
1. Conditions of Agreement
A. Introduction
1) eSports betting is
understood to encompass single or multi-player competitive video gaming in both
online and/or offline setup. A list of the games/genres covered in this section
can be found in Section D, Paragraph 2, of these House
Rules.
2) Desert Diamond reserves
the right to include and treat offers on events related to games/genres not
listed in the aforementioned clause as eSports, provided they reasonably fit
the description. Previous or future iterations of games/genre forming part of
the same series will be treated as per the rules related to that particular
game/genre as present in these House Rules, regardless of any different
numbering and/or denomination. If a game, genre, event and/or offer related to
it is not specifically listed in these House Rules, settlement of such offers
will be based on the general principles established in the House Rules.
3) Unless specifically
stated in this section, the rules present in the General Betting
Rules, Section B, apply. In the event of ambiguity, priority
will be set in the following order:
i. Rules and conditions
published in conjunction with an offer and/or campaign;
ii. eSports Game-specific
rules (if applicable);
iii. eSports Genre-specific
rules;
iv. eSports General Result
Settlement rules;
v. Desert Diamond’s General
Betting Rules, Section B.
4) Should none of the above
provide an adequate resolution, Desert Diamond reserves the right, in its
discretion, to settle offers on an individual basis on the basis of equity,
using generally accepted betting norms, customs and definitions.
B. General Result Settlement rules
1) When settling results,
Desert Diamond takes reasonable steps to use information obtained
firsthand (during or exactly after the event has been concluded) from the
organizing association, through the game broadcast (whether TV, web-based or
through other sources) and any relevant counters it might display, the game API
and the official website. Should the required information be omitted from firsthand
viewing and/or official sources, or if there is an obvious Error in the
information included in the sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will
be based on other public sources.
2) Settlement of bets will
not include any changes deriving from and/or attributable to:
disqualifications, penalizations, protests, sub-judice results, successive
changes to the official result after the event has been completed and a result
has been announced, even preliminarily, or the like. For bets referring to
competitions which span over more than 1 round/stage (e.g., Tournament Bets),
only amendments effecting bets which have not been settled yet will be taken
into consideration. The following example is being provided as a general
guideline of how such bets would be treated in case of comparable situations: A
bet on a team to reach the semi-finals of a tournament will be considered as
having been attained once the organizing association deems it as such, even if
the same team is disqualified from the tournament at a later stage for any
reason whatsoever.
3) Any reference to
words/objects that appear in singular also applies to plural. As such the term
“participant”, “competitor” or similar must be understood both as a single
individual and a team representing a single entity.
4) Although Desert Diamond takes
reasonable precautions to represent an accurate rendition of the event as
scheduled by the governing association, any references to the order in which
the participants are shown, venue(s), etc. are to be deemed for information
purposes only. Switching of Home/Away participants, as well as previously
announced venues, will not be deemed as valid grounds for cancellation of bets
placed.
5) Before or during an event/match,
Desert Diamond may decide to show current and past scores, counters and other
statistics related to the offer. Desert Diamond provides such data for
information purposes only and will not be responsible for the accuracy of such
data. All data presented in this regard must be treated as unofficial and any
inaccuracy will not be deemed as valid grounds for the cancellation of bets
placed.
6) Should the name of any
participant/event/game be misspelled and/or be changed, bets will remain valid
provided it is reasonably clear and can be ascertained through reputable
sources that the object the bet has been placed upon is the same as the
participant/event/game intended.
7) The deadline (cut-off
time) shown on the Site is to be treated for information purposes only. Desert
Diamond reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend, partially or
completely, the betting activity at any time where it deems necessary.
8) Regardless of the start
times displayed on the Site, the rules mentioned in the General Betting Rules,
namely those in the Conditions of Agreement, Section A, Paragraphs 2 to
6, regarding the validity or lack thereof of bets placed and/or
accepted, apply.
9) Without prejudice and in
addition to the above clause, Desert Diamond reserves the right, in its
discretion, to void bets should any of the following situations arise:
i. Desert Diamond
experience lags in receiving data/image streams from any of its sources/providers,
resulting in Desert Diamond presenting odds not reflecting the current state of
the bet;
ii. it is reasonably obvious
that bets have been placed from accounts which have access to data/image
streams not available at that time to Desert Diamond;
iii. bets have been placed
after any participant has gained an advantage sufficient to alter the odds of
any offer, even just theoretically, without the odds having been adjusted to
reflect the current state of the bet.
10) Should a match start at
a different time than that listed on the Site, this will not be deemed as valid
grounds for cancellation of the bets, provided the exact same match is the next
match taking place for both teams within the same tournament and is valid for
the round/stage initially intended.
11) Unless specifically
stated, whenever the organizing association includes any extra rounds/overtime,
qualifying match(es) or series of matches in order to determine any
classification and/or match outcome, Desert Diamond will take into account the
results and outcomes deriving from the added matches/rounds/overtime for
settling bets referring to match/classification.
12) All bet offers related
to matches, or parts thereof, which do not take place at all or are awarded a
result through a walk-over decision will be declared void. For settlement
purposes, action within a match (or part thereof) is considered to have occurred
if either the game clock has started or a participant performs an in-game
action related to the match (or part thereof), whichever happens first.
13) Offers related to matches or parts thereof which get
abandoned for whatever reason, with no result declared by the official
organization within 36 hours from the actual match start, will have the stakes
refunded on those bet offers whose result has not yet been determined. All bet
offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly
be changed regardless of future events will be settled according to the decided
outcome.
14) Should it be decided that an abandoned fixture (or part thereof) is to be continued
within 36 hours of the original start time, all bets placed on the initial
match will stand and will be settled through the outcomes deriving from the
continued play.
15) Should it be decided that an abandoned fixture (or
part thereof) is to be restarted from the beginning within 36 hours of the
original start time, all bets placed on the initial match which could not be
settled through the outcomes deriving from the play prior to abandonment will
be declared void.
16) Should it be the case that either participant is
involved in a match from the same tournament with a different opponent between
the time of the abandonment and the continuation of the initial match, all
pending bets on the initial match will be settled as void regardless of the
outcomes obtained during the continuation of the match.
17) Offers referring to
Tournament outcomes and or matches/events scheduled over 2 or more days will
remain valid, provided the event is considered completed and an official result
is announced by the organizing association within the specified year, regardless
of the current/future participation (or lack thereof) of any listed and/or
previously announced participant, unless otherwise stated.
18) Where matches have not
been completed before their natural conclusion, but a result is issued through
a decision by the organizing association not more than 36 hours from the
event’s actual start without play having continued following the abandonment,
Desert Diamond will use the issued decision as the official result for the
offers detailing the outcome of the match and/or tournament progress (e.g.,
Match odds and Participant to reach next round) provided the issued decision
does not change the outcome of the bet offers at the time of the abandonment,
in which case the stakes will be refunded. (E.g., Team A leading 2 Maps to nil
in a best of 5 Maps match and Team B concedes: Association declares Team A as
winner of the match = bet stands. Meanwhile if the same best of 5 Maps match
was abandoned with the score 1-1 and the Association declares either team as
the winner, the bet will be considered as void). All other offers will be
declared void except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to
the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events,
which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
19) Settlement of bet offers
linked to counters (e.g., Total Kills) and any other offers related to specific
terminology will be decided according to the definition with which the official
governing body issues the statistics. Desert Diamond will not consider
inconsistent personal interpretation of such terms.
20) When placing “Outright”
or “Place” bets, no stakes will be refunded on participants/outcomes that are
not participating, disqualified and/or withdrawing from an event (both prior
and during) for any reason whatsoever, unless otherwise stated. Desert Diamond
reserves the right, at its own discretion, to apply Tattersalls Rule 4, as
explained in the General Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 6,
on any competition and this will be stated in correlation to the bet offer.
21) Offers referring to a
single participant’s performance in a specific event/timeframe (such as
Tournament Progress of Team X) require the listed participant to play an active
part at least once in a subsequent stage of the applicable event/timeframe
after the bet has been placed and/or accepted.
22) No refunds of bets will
apply, even if the winning outcome of a match/event is a participant/outcome
that has not been listed for betting purposes. On all bet offers the patron has
the possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed participant/outcome. Desert
Diamond reserves the right, at its own discretion, to decline such requests.
23) Offers which confront
against each other the performances of two or more participants over a
specified timeframe/competition will only be settled based on the result of the
listed participants, disregarding all other participants in the same
competition/event.
24) In case a participant is
disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a subsequent part/phase of an
event/competition for any reason whatsoever, as well as in case of voluntary
withdrawals, the disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the
time of the official announcement. No changes will be made to previous results,
regardless of any modifications due to the actions.
25) In an “Outright” or
“Place” bet, should two or more participants be considered to have obtained the
same result and the organizing association does not distinguish in their
classification, dead heat rules as specified in the General Betting
Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause 14, applies.
26) Desert Diamond will
refund stakes on offers comparing the achievements/performances of two
participants within a specified timeframe (e.g., Tournament Best Finishing
Position, Match Winner, Winner of Map X) should any of the following
circumstances apply:
i. No odds were offered on
a “draw” outcome and no tie-breaking procedures/overtime/extra rounds are used
by the organizing association to result in a match/offer or classify
participants that obtained the same result;
ii. Any of the listed
participants does not play any further part in any subsequent stage of the
related event/part thereof after the bet has been placed and/or accepted;
iii. None of the listed
participants is included in the applicable classification;
iv. None of the listed
participants is deemed to have achieved the specified requirement after the bet
has been placed and/or accepted and no odds for such outcome has been offered.
27) Offers comparing the
achievements/performances of three participants will be treated as detailed in
preceding clause, with the exception that should two or more participants share
the applicable finishing position dead heat rules as specified in the General
Betting Rules, Section B, Paragraph 5, Clause 14, applies.
28) “Outright” and “Place”
bets rules apply on offers comparing the achievements/performances of four or
more participants, with the exception of those offers specifically listed as
“Group Betting”. In such cases, stakes will be refunded if at least one of the
listed participants is not actively involved anymore for whatever reason after
the bet has been placed and/or accepted.
29) Unless the outcome of
the offer has already been determined before any change is announced, bets
referring to a race to a particular happening/totals of a particular occurrence
(e.g., First participant to win X rounds, Over/Under Maps played) or the
margins/difference of completed occurrence between participants (e.g., Map
Handicap, Exact Map score in the match) will be settled as void if the match
format is completely changed in a way that would alter the counter of such
occurrences and their respective odds, including but not limited to cases where
the number of scheduled Maps is changed from a previously announced odd number
of scheduled Maps (e.g., Best of 1/3/5) to an even number of scheduled Maps
(e.g., Best of 2/4/6) and vice-versa. Bets will stand and will be settled
accordingly for those offers where the announced changed is not relevant (e.g.,
Match odds will remain valid if the number of scheduled Maps is changed from
the previously announced 3 Maps to 5 Maps), or the outcome of the offer has
already been determined before any change is announced. The following example
is being provided as a general guideline of how such bets would be treated in
case of comparable situations: A bet on “To win 1st Map” will remain valid if a
match is changed from 3 to 5 Maps but an Over/Under bet on Total Maps in the
Match would be settled as void in a similar scenario.
30) Should Desert Diamond
erroneously offer odds and lines based on a different number of
Maps/Games/Rounds from the correctly scheduled number of the instances,
settlement of offers referring to a race to a particular happening/totals of a
particular occurrence (e.g., First participant to win X rounds, Over/Under Maps
played) or the margins/difference of completed occurrence between participants
(e.g., Map Handicap, Exact Map score in the match) will be settled as void if
the match format is completely different in a way that would alter the counter
of such occurrences and their respective odds, including but not limited to
cases where the number of scheduled Maps is calculated on an odd number of
scheduled Maps (e.g., Best of 1/3/5) when the match is scheduled for an even
number of Maps (e.g., Best of 2/4/6) and vice-versa. Bets will stand and will
be settled accordingly for those offers where the discrepancy is not relevant
(e.g., Match odds will remain valid if the number of scheduled Maps quoted is 3
instead of the stipulated 5 Maps), or the outcome of the offer has already been
determined before any change is announced. The following example is being
provided as a general guideline of how such bets would be treated in case of
comparable situations: A bet on “To win 1st Map” will remain valid if a match
is listed as 3 instead of 5 Maps but an Over/Under bet on Total Maps in the
Match would be settled as void in a similar scenario.
31) During specific events
Desert Diamond might decide, solely at its own discretion, to offer for betting
purposes a reduced selection of participants which could include betting
options such as “Any Other”, “The Field”, or similar. This option includes all
unlisted participants except for the ones mentioned specifically as available.
Desert Diamond reserves the right to list/specify more participants at a later
stage. Should these newly listed participants be the winning outcome, they will
be considered as having been unlisted until the time they have actually been
introduced to the list and settled accordingly.
32) Offers that make a
specific reference to a participant’s performance in a particular
event/timeframe (e.g., Team X vs The Field or Winner without Team X) are to be
considered void if the mentioned participants fail to play an active part at
least once in a subsequent stage of the applicable event/timeframe after the
bet has been placed and/or accepted.
33) Should a match start
with a different number of players than that encompassed in the event
regulations (e.g., Either team starts a match with only 4 players instead of
the scheduled 5 players), all bets will be determined as void. In case either
team loses momentarily and/or permanently from the match any number of players,
after the match has started with the stipulated number of participants as per
the event regulation, bets will remain valid.
34) Bets on matches/events
featuring participants which use a different/wrong nickname or using a
so-called “smurf account” will stand, provided it does not become reasonably
obvious that the participant using that particular nickname is not the one
intended. In such cases bets will be settled as void.
35) Bets on a team are to be
considered valid regardless of the individuals used by the team as
participants. Should the organizing association deem it permissible for a team
to play with a stand-in participant or replacement player, all bets will stand
provided an official result is issued.
36) Any form of a
qualification ahead of the main tournament (where applicable) is considered to
be a valid part of that competition. Thus, any participant who is eliminated at
qualification stage will be considered losing to anyone that is pre-qualified
or is successful in the qualification stage.
37) In the case of bets
where there is reference to timeframes, they should be interpreted in the
following way: “within the first 30 minutes” will include anything happening
until 0 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will
include anything happening from 10 minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and
59 seconds, etc.
38) Any bets referring to
duration represent the actual time passed in the map/round/event, as
applicable. For example, a bet on Over 30.5 minutes in a Map will be settled as
Over once 30 minutes and a half in the specified map have passed.
39) Any reference to
“Winner” and/or “Upper” bracket will remain valid regardless of whether Maps
and/or any other advantages are awarded via the event rules to any participant.
40) Advantages awarded via
event structure will be considered for settlement purposes, unless otherwise
specified. Nonetheless, any reference to specific indexes of Maps, Games, etc.
as presented on the Site is always to be considered as relevant to the phase of
the match being actually played. Example: in a best of 3 Maps match where Team
A starts with a 1 Map advantage, any Map 1 related offers will actually refer
to the outcomes emanating from the second Map of the match (i.e., the first Map
to be actually played).
