A. Conditions of agreement
1)
These House Rules
govern the use of the The Sports Book. When placing a bet with The Sports Book,
the Patron is therefore agreeing that the Patron has read, understood and will
adhere to these, the House Rules, the Betting Rules and the Terms and
Conditions at any time applicable.
References to the House Rules, Betting Rules and the Terms and
Conditions are intended to incorporate by reference all of the above documents
and may be referred to collectively as “Rules.”

persons under the age of 21 from betting, collecting winning bets, or loitering
in and/or about the Sports Book area and all gaming areas. The use of the
Sports Book is subject to the regulations imposed by the applicable regulator.
3)
Persons shall place
bets only on their own behalf and shall not bet for any other person.
4)
The Sports Book
reserves the right, at its own discretion, to declare a bet void subject to the
terms in the House Rules. Approval of
the applicable regulatory body may be required where, in the discretion of The
Sports Book, it becomes necessary to void a wager.

Please check your bets
for accuracy. It is the responsibility
of the patron to ensure details of the bets placed are correct.
6)
Sports bets must be
reviewed PRIOR to leaving the window or self-service betting kiosk. Leaving the
window or self-service betting kiosk with the ticket is deemed an acceptance of
the bet by both parties. It is the
patron’s responsibility to inform management immediately should an error occur
on any bet or in any other transaction.
7)
The Sports Book
accepts no responsibility for bets which may have been submitted but not
confirmed by our systems.

prior to the start of an event, except at the discretion of management, with
the approval of both parties, and where allowed by regulation.

Betting options, other
than in-game bets, are available up until the official start time, unless
otherwise specified by Management. Any bet accepted after the official start
time, other than in-game bets, is void.
10)

the right to refuse/cancel any bet until the official start time and to make
ambiguous bets void, without providing any justification.
11)
Where Management has

or after the selected participant or team has gained a material advantage, the
incident will be reported to the applicable regulator for a determination of
whether or not to void the impacted bet(s).
12)
Please refer to the
House Rules and Betting Rules for details on the effect of suspension or
postponement.

on the size, volumes or pattern of bets placed, as well as information received
from other betting providers or other reliable third parties, such as integrity
monitoring organizations.

responsible for lost, stolen, altered, or unreadable tickets. If a ticket is

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], which may or may not be apparent to The
Sports Book and/or the Patron at the relevant time [which has caused or resulted
in bets [being offered and/or accepted]].
Examples of errors include, but are not
limited to:
o
As
a result of failure of established risk management controls.
o
As a result of inappropriate manipulation of offers or
settlement procedures as well as any fraudulent activity.
o
Incorrect
payouts.
o
Cyber
attacks.
·
Bets
accepted;
During technical problems that would
otherwise not have been accepted; at odds/prices that have been increased,
improved or enhanced from the odds/prices that would have otherwise been
offered.
·
On
events/offers that have already been decided or concluded, or in relation to
which The Sports Book had suspended betting.
·
On
events/offers after the event/match/offer has started (except for live betting
bet types).
·
On
markets/events containing participants that are not part of the event.
·
Otherwise
than in accordance with the applicable laws.
·
At
odds that are materially different from those available in the general betting
industry at the time the bet was accepted, whereby The Sports Book will use a
majority of betting industry operators, to determine whether odds offered were
“materially different”.
·
At
odds which reflect an incorrect score, standing or ranking situation, including
where incorrect odds are offered, as a result of any errors or omissions made
in respect of the announcing, publishing, or reporting of a score, standing or
ranking situation.
·
At
incorrect odds where it is clear that the actual chances of the event occurring
at the time the bet was accepted were materially different, or
·
That
the bet has been placed by someone other than the Patron or where the Patron is
victim of fraudulent activity.
2) "Influence Betting" is an act,
prohibited by The Sports Book, where an Patron, or parties acting in
association with an Patron, can influence, or have influenced, the outcome of a
match or an event - directly or indirectly.
3) "Syndicate Betting" is an act,
prohibited by The Sports Book, where Patrons act together to place a bet or
series of bets on the same event or competition, or when an Patron places a bet
on behalf, or for the intended benefit, of another individual or other
individuals. Where there is evidence of Patrons acting together in this manner The
Sports Book reserves the right to make the relevant bets void and/or withhold
payment of returns pending the outcome of subsequent investigations to
determine whether (in The Sports Book’s sole opinion), Syndicate Betting has
taken place.
1) Each bet constitutes a legally binding
betting contract between the Patron and The Sports Book. The formation of such
betting contract requires the following phases:
i. The advertisement of a betting market.
ii. The request to place a bet or wager on
the betting market by the Patron.
iii. The acceptance and confirmation of the
bet or wager by The Sports Book.
2) Unless
accepted in Error, once accepted, a bet cannot be withdrawn by the Patron. It
is the responsibility of the Patron to ensure details of the bets placed are
correct.
3) Should a dispute arise about the
acceptance (or lack thereof) of any bet, or the time at which any bet was
placed, The Sports Book’s transaction log database will be the ultimate
authority in determining such matters.
4)
The
Sports Book may refuse to accept any bets [or wagers] at any time and for any
reason including in order to:
a)
Preserve
the viability of the offered market (for example, without limitation, in
relation to events where there is an extraordinary or unbalanced number of bets
on the same market).
b) Protect the Patron (e.g., without
limitation, in relation to the event in which the Patron displays pathological
behaviour and refuses to self-exclude).
c) Protect other users (e.g., without
limitation, in connection with the event in which the Patron has a betting
pattern that could adversely affect the regular betting activity of other
users).
d)
To
protect The Sports Book (for example, without limitation, in the event that the
Patron exhibits money laundering, collusive or fraudulent behaviour, or is
using automated means, bots, software or similar means, or engaging in
arbitrage).
5)
The
Sports Book, depending on the level of risk, instead of refusing a bet or a
wager, may accept the bet request placed by the Patron up to a certain amount
thereof.
1)
In
order to guarantee the viability of each market, to avoid potential cases of
fraud and match-fixing, and to be able to make a correct estimate of the risk
involved in each product offered, The Sports Book may limit the net payout (the
payout after the stake has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by
one Patron at for any bets placed or settled within a 24-hour
timeframe.
2)
The
Sports Book determines that the minimum bet stake accepted and the maximum
stake accepted, notwithstanding potential exceptions, dependent on the markets
and bets proposed.
3) The Sports Book reserves the right to
decline, all, or part of, any bet requested. This includes the possibility that
a "System bet" as defined in <Section
B, Para 4> is not accepted in full, either in terms of stakes or
combinations included in said "System bet". All
bets placed through any The Sports Book platform, also including bets
requesting manual approval, may be subject to a time delay prior to acceptance,
the length of which may vary.
4) All odds offered are subject to
variation. Such fluctuation is determined by The Sports Book Bets are accepted
only at the odds available in the betting grid, at the time the bet was
accepted by The Sports Book, irrespective of any other claim or previous publication
present on the website or any other media detailing otherwise.
5) All payout
calculations when settling bets will be done based on Decimal odds,
irrespective of any other format displayed/chosen at time of bet placement.
1) A bet can be declared void, under the
circumstances described in clause 3 below. If a bet is voided, it will be
settled with odds of 1.00.
2) A bet made as an accumulative bet shall
remain valid, notwithstanding a match or an event which is part of the
accumulative bet being void.
3) The Sports Book reserves the right, to
declare a bet void, totally or partially, if any of the following, or similar,
circumstances have occurred:
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 betting industry market (see Section A, Para
2, clause 1)
b. Bets placed while the website 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 significantly alters the odds.
g. A bet has been offered on the relevant
market in breach of the gambling regulation in the specific jurisdiction
(i)
'Pre-match'
bets placed/accepted after the event has started;
(ii)
'Live'
bets placed/accepted at incorrect odds due to delayed or failing ‘Live’
coverage, or on odds which represented a different score than the actual;
(iii)
Bets
placed following the last instance that a participant/outcome 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/outcome to influence
said scoring will be declared void;
(iv)
Bets
placed with odds which do not reflect that a related event was underway and
where conditions could have been altered in a direct and indisputable way, or
else after an event which could normally be deemed as leading to the outcome is
happening or has happened already.
5)
Related contingencies:
Unless placed via The Sports Book's in-event combination functionality, or
offered explicitly as a specific offering, The Sports Book prohibits
accumulator bets that include two or more outcomes which might turn out to be
related (e.g. Team X to become champions and Player Y to be Top Goal Scorer in
the same league). Although The Sports Book takes all necessary steps to prevent
such possibilities, in the eventuality that this would happen, The Sports Book
reserves the right, to declare void all parts of the accumulative bet which
include the correlated outcomes whose odds are not indicative of the related
contingency.
6) Bets can be voided regardless of whether
the event has been settled or not.
1) These rules are applicable to all
transactions with The Sports Book Sports Book 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. Sport-Specific Rules.
c.
General
Sports Book rules.
2)
Should
unforeseen circumstances occur for which settlement is not covered explicitly
by these rules The Sports Book reserves the right, to settle affected bets on
an individual basis on the basis of equity, attaining itself to generally
accepted betting norms, customs and definitions.
3) Any data provided or accessible in,
from, or related to the Sports Book, 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.
4) The Sports Book has the right to enforce
a term of the contract relating to the Sports Book against any Patron.
B. General Betting
Rules
1) Unless listed either in conjunction with
the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, 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 body. For example, in Football, 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 body decide to stipulate, before the
start of the event, that the said event is to be played over a different
duration, this will be treated as being the official rules for the event (for
example, football matches played with 3 x 30 minutes or 2 x 40 minutes
formats). 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) "Livebetting" is where it is
possible to bet during an ongoing match or event. The Sports Book does not
acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if it not possible to place a
bet or the live score update is not correct. At all times it is the Patron's
responsibility to be aware of the match and the events surrounding it such as
the current score, its progression and how much time remains before the match
is completed. The Sports Book does not accept any liability for changes to the
Livebetting schedule or interruption of the Livebetting service.
3) The [Cash Out] function allows the Patron
the possibility to redeem a bet, which status has not been settled yet, at its
current value. It is available on selected events both in pre-match and live,
as well as on both 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 <Section A,
Para 4.2>. Should it happen that during this delay, for whatever reason,
either the offer is removed, or odds fluctuate, the [Cash Out] request will not
be accepted, and the Patron will be notified with an on-screen message. The
Sports Book reserves the right to offer such functionality at its own
discretion and does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever should
the functionality not be available. Should a [Cash Out] request be successful,
the bet will be settled immediately and any subsequent events which occur in
relation with the bet will not be considered. In the instance of a [Cash Out]
bet having suffered from a technical, pricing or settlement error at any time
between the time of original offering and the final settlement, The Sports Book
reserves the right to rectify such inaccuracy in accordance with <Section A, Para 6.2>.
4) The "Participant" is an object
constituting part of an event. In "Head-to-Head" and
"Triple-Head" the Participant only refers to objects that are subject
to the "Head-to-Head" or "Triple-Head" event in question.
For sake of clarity a “participant” is to be intended as a single player, a
team or any group of individuals grouped/listed together. Any reference to
participants within these rules is to be intended accordingly regardless of
whether its definition is in singular or plural.
5) The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the
website is to be treated for information purposes only. The Sports Book
reserves the right, to suspend, partially or completely, the betting activity
at any time where it deems necessary.
6) Statistics or editorial text published
on the The Sports Book’s website(s) are to be considered as added information. The
Sports Book does not acknowledge or accept any liability if the information is
not correct. At all times it is the Patron’s responsibility to be aware about
circumstances relating to an event.
7) Theoretical return in fixed odds betting
to the player is given by the odds from all possible outcomes in the offer. The
theoretical payback to a player on a bet offer 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
1) "Match" (aka 1X2) is where it
is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) outcome of a match or event.
The options are: "1" = Home team/Player 1, or the participant listed
to the left side of the offer; "X" = Draw/Tie, or the selection in
the middle; "2" = Away team/Player 2, or the participant listed to
the right side of the offer. In particular instances or specific competitions, The
Sports Book might display an offer in the so-called “American” format (ie: Away
Team @ Home Team), where the host team is listed following the visiting team.
Irrespective of the positioning of the teams on the board/betslip, the
references to “Home” and “Away” teams will always refer to the actual teams
playing at home (host) and away (visitor) respectively, as determined by the
official organization bar the exceptions as detailed in <Section B, Para 5.32>
2) "Correct Score" (aka Result
Betting) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) exact
score of a match/event, or part of it.
3) "Over/Under" (aka 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 128.0 points and the match ends with the result
64-64 will be declared void.
4) "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.
5) A "Head-to-Head" and/or
"Triple-Head" is a competition between two or three
participants/outcomes, originating from either an officially organised event,
or else, as virtually defined by The Sports Book.
6) "Half time/Full time" is where
it is possible to bet on the result in Half time and the outcome at the end of
the listed timeframe. E.g. if at Half time the home team is leading 1-0 and the
match ends 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/X. Bets on this market will be
declared void should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to
determine an outcome based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
7) "Period betting" is where it
is possible to bet on the outcome of each separate period within a match/event.
E.g. If the period scores in an ice hockey match are 2-0 / 0-1 / 1-1, the
winning outcome is 1/2/X. Bets on this market will be declared void should the
match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome
based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
8)
"Draw
No Bet" (aka Moneyline) is where it is possible to bet on either
"1" or "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>. It is also common practice to refer to
"Draw No Bet" in cases where no draw odds are offered. Bets will be voided should the specific
match/event not produce any winning outcome (E.g. match ends as a draw), or the
occurrence not happen (E.g. First Goal, Draw No Bet and match ends 0-0).
9) "Handicap" (aka Spread) is
where it is possible to bet on whether the chosen outcome will be victorious
once the listed handicap is added/subtracted (as applicable) to the
match/period/total score to which the bet refers to. In those circumstances where
the result after the adjustment of the handicap line is exactly equal to the
betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: a bet
on -3.0 goals will be declared void if the chosen team wins the match by
exactly 3 goals difference (3-0,4-1, 5-2, etc). Any reference in this section
to the term “margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome emerging from
the subtraction of the goals/points scored by the 2 teams/participants.
Unless otherwise stated, all handicaps
listed on the The Sports Book’s site are to be calculated based on the result
from the start of the listed match/period to the end of the specified
match/period. It is however customary that for certain handicap bet offers in
specific sports (Asian Handicap in Football), 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 goals/points scored before the time
the bet was placed and accepted.
There are 3 different “handicap betting”
formats:
2-way
Handicap: Team A (-1.5) vs Team B (+1.5)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a -1.5 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A
must win the match with a margin equal or bigger than the listed handicap (ie.
2 goals or more).
·
Team
B is given a +1.5 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B
must either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin
equal or bigger than their listed advantage (ie. lose with a 1 goal margin).
3-way Handicap: Team A (-2) Draw
(Exactly 2) Team B (+2)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a 2 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A must
win the match with a bigger margin than the listed handicap (ie. 3 goals or
more).
·
Draw
would be the victorious outcome should the match end up with exactly the listed
margin (ie. match ends with results such as 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2).
·
Team
B is given a 2 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B must
either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or
bigger than their listed advantage (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin).
Asian Handicap: Team A (-1.75) vs Team B
(+1.75)
Example:
·
Team
A is given a -1.75 goal handicap in the match. 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 match with a
bigger margin than both of their listed handicaps (ie. 3 goals or more margin).
In the eventuality that Team A wins with only a 2 goal margin, the bet will be
considered as 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 match produce any other outcome, including a
Team A victory with only 1 goal of margin, the whole stake would be lost.
·
Team
B is given a +1.75 goal advantage in the match. 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 match,
match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than any of
their listed advantages (ie. lose with only a 1 goal margin). In the
eventuality that Team B loses with exactly a 2 goal margin, the bet will be
considered as 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 match produce any other outcome
which results in a defeat of Team B with a margin of 3 or more goals, the whole
stake would be lost.
10) "Double Chance" is where it is
possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or definite) outcomes of a match
or event. The options are: 1X, 12 and X2
with "1", "X" and "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>.
11) "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 <Section B, Para 5.14>.
12) An “Each Way” bet (aka EW) refers to a
bet where the chosen selection must either Win or else 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 as well as <Section
B, Para 5, Clause 11>.
13) "Goal minutes" is where it is
possible to bet on the sum of the minutes when the goals have been scored. 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'.
1) Fantasy/Virtual "Matches" or
"Head to Heads" are implicit match-ups where the performances of two
or more participants/teams which are not directly confronting 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 relative matches/events must be
completed on the same day/session which the match/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 take
into account 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 <Section
B, Para 5> will not be taken into consideration.
d. Should the aforementioned criteria be
inconclusive in determining the outcome for these offers, the following
criteria will be progressively referenced to in order to settle the offering:
(i) the applicable Sport-specific rules
as listed in <Section C>,
(ii) Result Settlement rules as listed
in <Section B, Para 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 (Example: Total
Goals, Total Runs) happening in a collection of matches/events on a specified
round/day/match day. All relative matches/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
event/match. Bets on this market will be declared void should the match 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 match/event after termination
of the stipulated timeframe and will take into account all other
points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the event/match. Bets on
this market will be declared void should the match 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 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 "Winner of Point X / Next
to Score " 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 “First Card”, or
“Next Team to receive penalty minutes” 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
match and going on to win the match. Should there be no scoring in the match
all bets will be settled as void.
10) Any reference to "Clean
sheet"/”Shutout” indicates that the listed team/participant must not
concede any goal/points during the match/relevant timeframe.
11) " To win from behind" refers
to the listed team/participant winning the match after having been at least 1
goal/point behind their opponents at any point in the match/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 goals/points than its opponent during all the stipulated
halves/periods of the match.
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
"Man of the Match", "Most Valuable Player" etc. will be
based on the competition's organisers’ decision, unless otherwise stated.
15) Settlement of bets which make reference
to terms such as "decisive goal" will be settled based on the scorer
of the goal that at the end of the match/tie (as applicable) proves to be the
one that has produced an unassailable lead, following which any further 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 match (in case of one match) or progressing to the next
round/winning the competition. Goals scored in Regular Time and Extra Time count
but not Penalty Shoot outs.
16) Bets on events which feature a selection
of episodes that could happen in a 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 fixture (excluding play-offs, play-outs, post
season, etc.) the bets placed after the last Managerial change (if any) will be
void, unless a suitable option has been offered for betting. Football 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
matches.
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 fixture 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 in Matchday X)
will be based upon the timeframe in the respective match in which the feat has
been accomplished. Example: Team A plays on Saturday and score their first goal
in the 43rd minute while Team B plays on Sunday and score their first goal
after 5 minutes, then Team B will be settled as winner.
1. Unless specifically stated the offer refers only to the listed day(s)
and/or next official match/event/round (as applicable) that the listed
participants/teams are scheduled to take part in at the time the offer is
published.
2. Results settled as per respective
Sport-specific rules. 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. Bets will be voided should it be
impossible to determine a winning outcome in accordance with the respective
Sport-specific rules.
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, 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 The
Sports Book’s Sports Book. Where applicable, should the offer include any
outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen Over/Under or Spread line
(aka PUSH) this will not be considered as having accomplished the listed
occurrence and will result in the bet being settled as LOST.
While all necessary precautions have been taken by The Sports Book to
ensure a superior user experience, it is to be understood that 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 Sports Book Sports Book. All bets remain valid regardless of these
eventual fluctuations.
22) During selected events, The Sports Book 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 present in its Sportsbook (excluding Enhanced Multiples, Boosted
Odds, etc for which <Section B, Para 3, Clause 21> applies), or
through the [BetBuilder] functionality. Such functionality is only present at The
Sports Book’s sole discretion and without prejudice to related contingencies as
described in <Section A, Para 5, Clause 4>. Settlement will be
based on the respective Sport-specific rules. 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 refunded should any part of the combination
be settled as VOID. Where applicable, should the combination feature any
outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen Over/Under or Spread line
(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.
23) “Teaser+” allows the user the
possibility to allocate the same pre-set amount of points to all outcomes
present in a parlay (combination) containing Spreads (Handicaps), Totals
(Over/Unders) or a combination of both. Example: User combines NFL Team X +6.5
points in a parlay with Over 41 points in the NFL match 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.
24) Bets referring to “Rest of the match” 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.
25) Bets on specific timeframes/intervals
(example: Match 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 event/match outside the specified timeframe/interval, including
stoppage/injury time, unless specified.
2) The Sports Book reserves the right to
limit the amount of combinations due to what is known as outcome
dependency/related contingencies, as defined in <Section A, Para 5 Clause
4>.
3) It is possible to include one or several
matches as ‘bankers’ which means that the selected matches/events will be
included in all coupons.
4) A ‘Trixie’ is a combination, which
includes one treble and three doubles from a selection of three matches.
5) A ‘Patent’ is a combination, which
includes one treble, three doubles and three singles from a selection of three
matches.
6) A ‘Yankee’ is a combination, which
includes one fourfold, four trebles and six doubles from a selection of four
matches.
7) A ‘Canadian’ (also known as ‘Super
Yankee’) is a combination, which includes one fivefold, five fourfolds, ten
trebles and ten doubles from a selection of five matches.
8) A ‘Heinz’ is a combination, which
includes one sixfold, six fivefolds, fifteen fourfolds, twenty trebles and
fifteen doubles from a selection of six matches.
9) A ‘Super Heinz’ is a combination, which
includes one sevenfold, seven sixfolds, twenty-one fivefolds, thirty-five
fourfolds, thirty-five trebles and twenty-one doubles from a selection of seven
matches.
10) A ‘Goliath’ is a combination, which
includes one eightfold, eight sevenfolds, twenty-eight sixfolds, fifty-six
fivefolds, seventy fourfolds, fifty-six trebles and twenty-eight doubles from a
selection of eight matches.
For display purposes, when necessary,
the second digit after the decimal point of the odds is shown as rounded up to
the nearest decimal number. The payout will however be made based on the actual
odds multiplied by the stake, disregarding the aforementioned rounding.
2)
a. Settlement of markets held over for
more than 1 round/stage (E.g:.Season Bets), will only consider amendments
affecting bets for which settlement has not yet been decided. Such measures
must be announced by the governing body before the last scheduled round/stage
will be considered. Any changes effected after this date, or else referring to
bets which have already been settled based on events happening during the
event/competition will not be considered.
b. 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 The
Sports Book offering odds/lines/totals which are incongruent with the revised
playing format, will result in the voiding of the bets affected by the format
change.
c. Offers where the
format change does not preclude the governing body from declaring a winner
(ex.Season winner), irrespective 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 body granted that said result is issued as per
the timeframes listed below and is congruent to the odds/lines/totals available
at time of offer publishing.
d. The following settlement provisions apply in such cases:
(i)
Should
the governing body declare a relevant outcome within 3 months from the last match
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 match played before the interruption, markets will be settled in
accordance with the last classification/rankings available, regardless of
number of matches played/current stage/phase of the competition.
(iii)
Markets
which refer to whether a team/participant will reach a subsequent phase of the
competition (example: Play-Offs) 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 matches bears no
influence the outcome of the offer.
(iv)
Markets
which odds are dependent/based on a full schedule of matches being played (example:
Over/Under Wins in the Regular Season/Points in the League), will be declared
void should the number of matches 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 matches bears no influence
the outcome of the offer.
3) Occurrences which have not been
sanctioned and/or acknowledged by the match/event officials (e.g. disallowed
goals) will not be taken into account towards the settlement of the bet. As a
general rule, and unless the offer specifies otherwise, The Sports Book 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. Occurrences are only
considered awarded, if the subsequent related action is performed i.e. (Offside
must result in a free kick, corners must be taken, and Goal kicks must be
taken). Should the occurrence be only awarded and not taken, it will not be
considered for settlement purposes.
4) All bet offers related to 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
match 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 match
is continued.
7) Unless otherwise stated either in the
Sport-Specific rules or in conjunction with the bet offer, specific events
forming part of tournaments/competitions which are not held, get postponed
and/or rescheduled for a time/date longer than 12 hours from the last scheduled
time issued by the governing body due to bad weather, crowd trouble or similar
scenarios will be declared void with the following exceptions where bets will
remain valid:
a. Events which starting times have not
been officially confirmed yet by the governing body 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 matchday/game week/round (as applicable) and the change does not change the
order of official fixtures for any of the participants in the offer.
c. Events which start times are
anticipated (brought forward) but remain scheduled to be played within the same
matchday/game week/round (as applicable) and, without prejudice to past-posting
and similar occurrences as defined in <Section A, Para 5.4>, the
change does not modify the order of official fixtures for any of the
participants in the offer.
For
the avoidance of doubt the definition of same matchday/game week/round is to be
interpreted as the order of fixtures as dictated by the governing body with
each specific match representing a matchday/game week/round. Should this order
not be upheld and the sequence of fixtures changes in a way that matches
against other teams get scheduled in between so much that the listed fixture
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 matchday/game week/round and offers will be declared
void. The above does not apply to Season bets which will remain valid granted
that the tournament/league/competition is held and decided during the
season/year it refers to, regardless of any eventual date changes. In cases of
Play-offs series or other series of matches which are scheduled to confront 2
teams over 2 or more matches, any re-scheduling of a single match will be
considered as being part of the same matchday regardless of the length of the
re-scheduling, granted that the order of home and away fixtures in the series
is not modified and the listed fixture takes place within the series. Bets will
be declared void otherwise.
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, The Sports
Book will use the issued decision as the official result for offers related to
the event's outcome, such as Match, Draw No Bet and Double Chance granted that
the issued decision does not change the outcome of the said 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 (example: Total Goals,
Handicaps, 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
matches/events where the official governing body is not previously acknowledged
(e.g. Club Friendlies) will be declared as void unless at least 90% of the
stipulated Regular/Full time is played, see in <Section B, Para 1.1>.
Should the match/event be abandoned after 90% has been completed, the
settlement will be based on the current score at the time when the match/event
was stopped.
10) Unless stated alongside the wagering
market, settlement of bet offers, such as, but not limited to, shots, shots on
target, ball possession, assists, rebounds, etc. will be based according to the
definition with which the official governing body issues said statistics.
Unless backed by un-contradictory evidence, The Sports Book will not acknowledge
any complaints which derive from a personal interpretation of such terms.
11) With
the exception of Trotting and Horse Racing, wagers placed on participants/teams
who take no part in an event, will be declaredvoid. However applicable qualifying stages or
similar, are to be considered part of the main event, and any participation
within, is considered as validating the wager and will not be voided.
The
Sports Book reserves the right, to apply Tattersalls Rule 4, as explained in
<Section B, Para 6>, on any competition and this will be stated in
correlation to the bet offer and/or the relevant Sport-specific rule.
12) 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. The Sports Book
reserves the right, to accept or 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 alterations will be made to previous
results, regardless of any modifications due to said 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 drawn
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 stake, except in cases of “Head to
Heads”, see <Section B, Para 2.5> and <Section B, Para 5.19>.
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 body
does not follow specific tie-breaking 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 which the bet refers to, 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 body follows specific tie-breaking procedures, in which case,
these 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, irrespective 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
organising association deems it fit to include any necessary rounds, matches,
or series of matches (e.g. Play-offs, Play-outs, Postseason) following the end
of the so-called Regular Season in order to determine the classification,
league winners, promotion/relegation, etc., The Sports Book will take into account
the results and outcomes deriving from these matches 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 (such
as Total Goals 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
Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would
happen after the so-called Regular Season.
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 domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Team
X), or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two teams’ performances in
domestic leagues (E.g. Most Penalty Minutes in League X - Team Y vs Team Z), or
a cumulative league performance (E.g. Team to receive Most Yellow Cards in
League X) will not take into account those events happening during eventual
Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would
happen after the so-called Regular Season, unless otherwise specified.
25) In a single player performance bet offer
in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League
Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances
in domestic leagues, unless an outcome has already been achieved, bets will be
voided should any of the following occurrences happen to any relevant
participant: (i) is not part of the matchday squad for the club/team they are
eligible for at time of bet placement in 50% or more of the remaining
applicable matches for any reason, (ii) does not take part in at least another
match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same amount as the other
player, unless a draw/tie option has been offered. Other sports-specific
conditions may apply, please refer to the Sport-specific section.
26) In a single player performance bet offer
in a specific event (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in International
Tournament) 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) does not take part at all in the event (ii) does not take
part in at least another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the
same amount as the other participant, unless a draw/tie option has been
offered.
27) During specific events The Sports Book
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 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 match dates, given that said match(es)
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 matches, e.g.
replays) will be declared void if said match 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 offers to be voided unless (i) the Sport-specific
rules dictate such, and/or the new location in which the event takes place is
the habitual "home" pitch of either participant involved in the
match.
As
a general principle, The Sports Book will refer to the Home team (host) and the
Away team (visitor) in accordance with the definition issued by the governing
body for that particular match/competition.
Bets
on matches played on so-called "Neutral pitches" 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 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
match/competition The Sports Book 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 match The Sports Book will void the bets. Nevertheless The Sports
Book 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 Superbowl, 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, said 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 betting
board/display.
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 match/event,
given that this does not cause an obvious inconsistency in odds offered.
34) While
all necessary precautions are taken by The Sports Book to assure the most
faithful rendition of all components involved in a bet offer, it is to be
assumed that 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 match/event, given that it does not create
uncertainty with other participants. 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.
36) Unless listed either in conjunction with
the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, bets referring to
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) The Sports Book 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, The
Sports Book 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 body.
40) Any medals won by a team/nation per
competition will count as one (1) single medal regardless of the number of team
members.
41) Offers referring to individual player
performances' over a particular period/tournament (example: Total Goals Scored
by Player X during the World Cup) or confronting performances from 2 individual
players during the course of the season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y
will score most goals during the season), require all listed individuals to be
an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer
after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
42) Offers on whether certain individuals will
be occupying a specified position/title/job on a certain date (E.g. Minister X
to still be Minister on date Y, Player/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. This is valid 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 to. Settlements will also take
into account players signed on loan deals.
43) Any bets referring to “breaking” of
records require the listed occurrence to be fully accomplished. Equalling the
record will not be considered as having fully accomplished the feat. Only the
listed occurrence will count for settlement purposes.

timeframe above.
6)
Matchday/Weekly
props is where it is possible to bet on the performances and outcomes of a
pre-defined selection of teams and/or individual players’ occurrences happening
in a collection of matches/events on a specified week/round/day/match day
(example: Total Points Scored in matches from a specific Conference,
Highest/Lowest Scoring team, Player Yardage markets etc). All applicable
matches/events (including any rescheduling to be played within the
aforementioned timeframe), must be completed and validated for the specified
week/round/day/matchday for bets to stand except for those the outcomes of

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 the Runningback will be considered as “Run Play”.
11) Settlement on offers referring to

as a “Turnover”. Turnover
on Downs (failed 4th Down attempt), will also be considered as a “Turnover”.
Should it happen that a punt is fumbled by the receiving team and recovered by
the kicking team, bets will be settled as “Punt”.
16) Offers on whether a 1st Down will be
made, refer only to the team currently in possession achieving said
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

that competition. If none of the listed participants takes part in the final
stage, all bets will be void, unless the governing body follows specific
tie-breaking 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, The Sports Book 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, the 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 aforementioned 24 hours will
be deemed as binding regardless of any further protests, changes to the
official result, etc.

explicitly stated, should a match or else a specified period (ex. 1st Half, 3rd
Quarter, etc.) end in a draw, all bets will be settled according to the

4) First Goalscorer in the match/1st
Quarter – Bets will be voided on players who are not in the starting 22. Bets

1st Quarter. Should no goal be scored in the listed period, all bets will be
settled as void, unless an option for “no goal” has been offered.
5) First Goalscorer in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th
Quarter - All bets stand irrespective of the player’s participation (or lack
thereof) in the listed Quarter and the match. Should no goal be scored in the

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.

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

be considered as having achieved a better position.
10) All bets stand, regardless of change of
venue.
11) Offers referring to individual player

included, clock counts upward).
13) For all highest scoring quarter offers,
the “Same amount” outcome settles on any 2 (or more) quarters being equal
highest.
14) For all season offers, that are settled
at the conclusion of the regular season, the official ladder position is used

recording the same number of losses, the winner will be determined as the team
with the lower ladder position (i.e Percentage determines tied positions).
1) Unless otherwise stated, bets on

respective governing body.
4) "Handicap",
"Over/Under", "Odd/Even" and all other markets, including
player performance markets, but except Moneyline require all scheduled innings

those offers the outcome of which has been decided prior to the abandonment and
could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be

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.

(example: Total Hits by Player X) or confronting performances from 2 individual

one more play in the match, after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
All Pre-Match markets involving hitters, require for the player to be

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). “Head to Head”

further continuance of play could not possibly produce a different outcome to
said offers which will be settled accordingly. For settlement purposes, any

12) For
3 x 3 basketball:
“Over/Under” and "Handicap"
offers on unfinished matches the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption of play and/or where any further continuance of play could not
possibly produce a different outcome to said 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 format of the match. 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.
1) All bets will remain valid as far as the
match/offer is played within the tournament framework regardless of any changes
in schedule, conditions, etc.
2) “Match” bet offers are based on the
general principle of tournament progress or tournament win, depending on which
phase of the competition the match refers to. 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 said 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
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 said
offers which will be settled accordingly. See examples from the Tennis section
for reference.
5) All “Correct Score”, “Odd/Even” and
those offers which refer to the winner of a particular period in the match
(example “E.g. Team to win the first set”) require the relevant part of the
match to be completed.
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 official organization 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, failure to answer the bell), the fight
will be deemed to have finished, at the end of the previous round. For all the
“To go the Distance” offers, to be settled as yes, the official scheduled
number of rounds, must be fully completed. In the event of a technical
decision, before the end of the scheduled number of rounds, all bets will be

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",
"Winning Method" 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 (Technical Decision), offers such as “Alternate

distance” will be declared void, unless the outcome is already determined.

the 5th Round has passed.
7) Any confirmed fight must be completed by
23:59 local time of the following day for bets to stand. Any changes in venue,
location will not be deemed valid grounds for voiding of the offers.
8) 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
the outcome of which 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.
9) 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.
1) Settlement of all bets referring to
Curling will be based on the result after eventual extra innings, unless
specifically specified.
1) Settlement of offers will be based upon
the rider/team achieving the highest position at the end of the stage/event.
2) The decisive factor in settling bets
will be the highest placing in the specified event as listed by the official organisation
at the time of the podium presentation, disregarding subsequent
disqualifications, changes to the official result, etc.
3) All "Head to Head" and
“Over/Under” bets featuring the performance of one or more riders in an
event/stage are considered valid given that all listed riders start the
relative event/stage and at least one completes the said 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 granted that 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 to, 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 involving two
riders/teams performances in specific events, occurrences happening in events
which are given any of the following denominations will not count towards the
settlement: Prologue, Team Time Trial.
1) First/Next Goalscorer – The bet refers
to a specific player being the scorer of the listed goal within the applicable
timeframe, or else being the first scorer for his team (E.g. “First Goalscorer
– Team X)”. Bets will be voided on
players who do not take part in the match or else come on the field of play
after the listed goal to which the bet refers to has been scored. Own goals do
not count for the settlement of this offer. Should the goal to which the bet
refers to be deemed as an own goal, the next player to score a goal which is
not an own goal and 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 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 else being the last scorer for his team (E.g. “Last Goalscorer
– Team X)”. Bets will be voided only on
players who do not take part in the match at all. In all other instances bets
will remain valid, irrespective 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 to be deemed as an own goal, the previous player
to score a goal which is not an own goal and 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 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 <Section C, Para 14.1> and <Section C, Para 14.2> will apply,
where applicable. Bets will be voided on
players who do not take part in the match at all. In all other instances bets
will remain valid, irrespective 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 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. 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,
suspensions, imposed on any other individual which 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
performances in a single match (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match
(example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most Goals), require all
listed individuals to play from the start of the match for bets to stand.
9) Offers referring to individual player
performances' (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most goals during the league), require that all listed individuals must be an
active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer after
bet acceptance for bets to stand.
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 body. 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 C.14.5 will be
taken into consideration.
14) Bets on whether a particular player(s)
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, irrelevant of any further deflections which
the ball trajectory might incur following the initial shot. For the sake of
clarity, it is to be understood that 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, said lines, the shot will not be considered as having been outside
the box.
15) Bets on whether a particular player(s)
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 The Sports Book
might decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of participants (E.g. Any
unlisted Team X player) or else 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 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 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, bets will be voided 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 body declare the specified
goal as having been unassisted, the specified goal is an own goal and/or no
more goals are 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 body 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 in in case of penalty shoot-outs, should the ball hit the woodwork, bounce
on the goalkeeper and end in goal, such penalty will be considered as having
been scored while should said situation occur during any other part of the
match which is not a penalty shoot-out, the penalty taker would be considered
as having missed to score and "hitting the 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 resulting purposes VAR reviews, and the decisions
emanating from said reviews, are 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. The Sports Book reserves the
right, in accordance with <Section A, Para 6.2>, to reverse any
previously settled offers where the settlement becomes inaccurate following the
final referee decision, providing said decision is taken and communicated
before the conclusion of the match and/or timeframe listed.
In order to avoid any doubts, The Sports
Book will consider the VAR as having been used if it is understood from the
referee's gestures (ex.hand gestures, stopping the match to review the incident
themselves), and/or the VAR usage is confirmed by the match report issued by
the official organization. In cases where it is unclear whether the VAR has
been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, The Sports
Book will settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed providers
and 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 the 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 colour 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” as much as 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” both when
presented as a single outcome, as well as an occurrence will also take into
consideration instances awarded for offsides and any other violation except
those sanctioned with a penalty.
25) Offers referring to specific player(s)
playing the whole match require the specified player(s) to start the match for
bets to stand. For settlement purposes, bets will be settled as YES only if the
specified player(s) is/are neither substituted nor sent off during Regular Time
only. Eventual extra time does not count.
1) All bets will be deemed as valid as much
as the Tournament, or the relative round to which the bet refers to, 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 body, irrespective
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
body (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 organisation.
4) Any result deriving from
officially-sanctioned playoffs will count towards the settlement of Tournament
offers only. Unless otherwise stated, offers referring to the performance
within a specific round or hole will not take into account outcomes deriving

7) In outright bets which include a limited
selection of participants, such as Top Nationality, Group Betting, Six-shooters,
etc., The Sports Book reserves the right to apply Tattersalls Rule 4 on any
non-starter. Should it be the case that all players 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 play-off
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
to.
9) In "Head to Head" bets
featuring only two players, bets will be voided 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 <Section B, Para
5.19>.
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
which the bet refers to.
11) Any reference to Make/Miss the
"Cut" requires an official cut/exclusion effected by the organisers
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 said definition, irrespective of any venue, date, or any other
changes.
15) Should play be stopped after a round has
started and the governing body decide to cancel all action referring to that
round and start from scratch or cancel altogether said round, then all bets
placed after the start of that round on the Tournament outright, Leader After
Round market and the Miss/Make the cut market will be void.
16) Bets referring to a specific participant
placing within a predetermined position (example: Top 5/10/20/40) during a
tournament, selection of tournaments or any particular classification will be
settled as per “Dead Heat” rules should the participant tie for that particular
position.
17) Offers related to a participant
occupying a particular position on the Leaderboard at a specific time (example:
Leader at End of Round X) will be settled in accordance with the result at the
end of the specified round/timeframe. Dead Heat Rules will apply for any tied
placings.
18) In tournaments where the “modified
Stable ford scoring” is used, bets will be settled on the points scored and not
the strokes taken. Listed players must complete at least 1 hole for bets to
stand, otherwise bets will be void.
19) Settlement of so-called “Action-betting”
offers and similar, including but not limited to “Fairways/Greens in
Regulation/Bunkers/Water Hazards”, are settled on the exact location where the
ball is deemed to have come to rest. Bets will be settled according to the

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 body during the season, given that said 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 as far as the
race/event is held within the same
year/season, irrespective 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
that the offer refers to 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
<Section
B, Para 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.
1) Unless otherwise stated, settlement of
bets on Rugby League is determined on the basis of the result after the so
called extra (over) time or Golden Point Rule, as applicable.
2) “Margin Betting” and “Half/Time Full
Time” offers are settled with the outcome at the end of the 80 minutes play.
3) Certain
competitions/events might have offers that are relevant to a specific
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 so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would
be calculated after the odds are divided and then multiplied by the stake,
irrespective of whether the net payout is lower than the Patron's stake.
4) Try Scorers (First/Last/Anytime/Team) –
All bets include any potential extra (over) time. Any bets placed on players in
the game day 17 stand regardless of the player’s participation (or lack
thereof) in the match. Stakes on players not included in game day 17 will be
refunded.
5) Unless otherwise specified, offers
referring to individual player performances in a single match (example: Total
Tries Scored by Player X) or confronting performances from 2 individual players
during the course of a match (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most Tries), require all listed individuals to play from the start of the
applicable match for bets to stand.
6) Offers referring to individual player
performances' (example: Total Tries Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most tries during the Regular Season), require that all listed individuals must
be an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer
after bet acceptance for bets to stand. Bets placed after any news which can
even potentially reduce the number of fixtures any listed player is eligible
for within the competition (example: injury/transfer/trade news); thus altering
the odds even just theoretically in favour of any particular outcome without
said odds having been 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.
1) Unless otherwise specified all bets
referring to the match and team performances, etc. are settled in accordance
with the result at the end of the 2nd half (after 80 minutes play).
2) Certain competitions/events might have
offers that are relevant to a specific 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
so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would be calculated after the odds
are divided and then multiplied by the stake, irrespective of whether the net
payout is lower than the Patron's stake..
3) Try Scorers (First/Last/Anytime/Team) –
All bets include any potential extra (over) time. Any bets placed on players in
the match day squad stand regardless of the player’s participation (or lack
thereof) in the match. Stakes on players not included in the match day squad
will be refunded. Penalty Tries will be settled on the “penalty try” outcome listed for each team.
In the event of no try scored in the match no bets shall be refunded.
4) Unless otherwise specified, offers referring
to individual player performances' in a single match (example: Total Tries
Scored by Player X) or confronting performances from 2 individual players
during the course of a match (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most Tries), require all listed individuals to play from the start of the
applicable match for bets to stand.
5) Offers referring to individual player
performances' (example: Total Tries Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most tries during the Regular Season), require that all listed individuals must
be an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer
after bet acceptance for bets to stand. Settlement of similar bets will be
based on the result after potential over (extra) time, unless otherwise stated.
6) All bets stand, regardless of change of
venue.
1) All bets stand, regardless of any
postponement, change of venues, etc., granted that the event is held within the
official waiting period as declared by the governing body.
2) Matchups referring to the performance of
one or more surfers are considered valid given that 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 so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would be
calculated after the odds are divided and then multiplied by the stake,
irrespective 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.
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 body follows specific
tie-breaking 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, The Sports Book will
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, the protest must be attributable to incidents happening exclusively
during the event, such as a lane infringement or 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.
1) All bets will remain valid as far as 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 which
phase of the competition the match refers to. 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 "Handicap"
offers on unfinished matches the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption of play and/or where any further continuance of play could not
possibly produce a different outcome to said 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. 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), “Odd/Even”, and those offers which refer to the winner of a
particular period in the match (example “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 type of offers not specified above
require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand, except for 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.
6) In a Doubles match, all bets will be
declared void if any of the stated players are being replaced.
7) Any reference to "Grand Slams"
will be based on the tournaments for that particular season to which the ITF
attributes said definition, irrespective of any venue, date, or any other
changes.
8) Bets on doubles matches in the Round
Robin stages of the Davis Cup Finals, Billie Jean King Cup Finals and ATP Cup
will always stand, even if the score in the tie is 2-0. For all other Davis
Cup, ATP Cup and Billie Jean King Cup ties, the doubles matches will be void,
if the tie has already been decided.
9) 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 the outcome of which is
already determined.
Should a match be played in a format/number of sets different than that
presumed at time the market was published, The Sports Book will void the
applicable markets pertaining to X, Y, Z unless the necessary number of
occurrences has already been achieved regardless of the change in format/number
of sets.
10) As a general rule "tie-breaks"
are always considered as 1 game only, regardless of the number of points needed
to win or whatever the format of the "tie-break". The following
tie-break scenarios will be settled as follows:
·
"Match
tie-break": 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 tie-break 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 tie-break 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 tie-break 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 tie-break 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
tie-break for the settlement of the relevant offers;
·
"Tiebreak
Tens": A match which consists solely of a tie-break 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 tie-break and as a full match for the settlement
of the relevant offers.
Should any match include a tie-break
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.
11) 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 governing body and the start of the competition, will be
refunded should the listed participant not take any further part in the
Tournament. Exception will be done for any participants still involved in the
Qualifying stages as these will be considered as active participants.
12) Bets on season related performances
(e.g. “number of Grand Slam titles won” or “to finish top 20 yes/no” will be
void if the player does not play at least 5 ranking point awarding events
during the season.
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) Offers referring to individual player
performances' in a single match (example: Total Points Scored by Player X) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match
(example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most Points), require all
listed individuals to be an active participant in the applicable match for bets
to stand.
3) “Over/Under” and "Handicap"
offers on unfinished matches the outcome of which is already determined before
the interruption of play and/or where any further continuance of play could not
possibly produce a different outcome to said 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) All “Correct Score” offers, “Odd/Even”,
and those offers which refer to the winner of particular period/timeframe in
the match (example “Which team will win the 1st set?” and “Set 2 – Race to 15
points” require the relevant part of the match to be completed.
5) All type of offers not specified above
require at least one set to be completed for bets to stand, except for 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.
6) Offers referring to individual player
performances' (example: Total Points Scored by Player X during the World
Championship) or confronting performances from 2 individual players over a
particular period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y
will score most points during the Regular Season), require that all listed
individuals must be an active participant in at least one more fixture
applicable for the offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
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 body 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 Course Country Skiing, etc.
5) The Sports Book 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 which the bet refers to, for bets to be
considered valid. Such provision is not applicable for Cross-country Sprint
events which include different elimination stages as well as Ski Jumping. In
such cases, settlement will be based on the official classification
irrespective of whether any of the listed participants completes the final
run/stage/jump.
8) All bet offers will be settled based on
the first official result being presented. However, The Sports Book 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, the 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 aforementioned 24 hours will
be deemed as binding regardless of any further protests, changes to the
official result, etc
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 official organization 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 irrespective 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 said match ends up taking place as originally
announced.
3) With the exception of the instances as
detailed in <Section C, Para 33,
Clause 4>, addition or removal of title stipulations (example: 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 as
much as the fight takes place on the card it was announced for.
4) If for any reason, the 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",
"Winning Method" and “To go the distance”, or other offers which
would be affected by such change, will be declared void.
5) For settlement purposes, in case the
fight is interrupted for any reason in between rounds, e.g. retirement before
the start of a round, disqualification, failure to answer the bell, the fight
will be deemed to have finished at the end of the previous round.
6) Offers on fights declared as a "No
Contest" or where neither fighter is declared as the only winner of the
fight, will be settled as void, except in cases where such outcome was offered
for betting purposes or for those offers the outcome of which 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.
7) The following descriptions are to be
considered as the applicable outcomes for the different scenarios:
·
“Finish”:
A win by KO (Knockout), TKO (Technical Knockout), DQ (Disqualification),
Submission, ‘throwing of the towel’ from either fighter’s corner, any referee
stoppage which declares either fighter as the only winner of the fight;
·
“Points/Decision”:
Any win based on the judges’ scorecards;
·
“Unanimous
decision”: A decision where all judges declare the same fighter as the winner;
·
“Majority
decision”: A decision where the majority of judges declare the same fighter as
the winner while the minority of the judges declare the fight as a draw;
·
“Split
decision”: A decision where the majority of judges declare a particular fighter
as the winner while the minority of the judges declare the other fighter as the
winner;
·
“Majority
draw”: A decision where the majority of judges declare the fight as a draw
while the minority of the judges declare a particular fighter as the winner;
·
“Split
draw”: A decision where each of the judges’ scorecards declare a different
outcome of the fight 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. If a
judges or referees’ decision is awarded, before the full number of scheduled
rounds are completed (Technical Decision or No Contest) offers such as
“Alternate Round Betting”, “Alternate Group of rounds”, “Over/under”, and “To
go the distance” will be declared void, unless the outcome is already
determined. For settlement purposes, betting on rounds or groups of rounds is
for a fighter to win by KO, TKO, disqualification or submission during that
round/group of rounds. In the event of a Technical Decision before the end of
the fight, all bets will be settled as a “Win by Decision”.
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
the outcome of which 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) 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 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 body or its recognized official partner for such statistics.
Settlement will be based according to the definition with which the official
governing body issues said statistics. In cases where both fighters are
declared as having accomplished the same result and said outcome not having
been available as a possible outcome for betting purposes, bets will be voided.
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 (example: 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 for which the bet refers to, bets will be settled as
void.
1) Offers referring to individual player
performances in a single match (example: Total Points Scored by Player X) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match
(example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most Points), require all
listed individuals to be an active participant in the applicable match for bets
to stand.
2) All bets referring to aggregated
Tournament Totals will be settled based on official statistics by the governing
body. Unless otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will include
eventual prolongations (e.g. Extra Time) but not Penalty Shoot Outs.
3) Settlement of player related bets in a
specific match will be based on the result after the end of the 2nd half (Regular
Time), unless otherwise stated.
4) Offers referring to individual player
performances' (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or
confronting performances from 2 individual players over a particular
period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score
most goals during the Regular Season), require that all listed individuals must
be an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer
after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
