PART C – SPECIFIC SPORTS RULES

Cricket

General

• If a ball is not bowled during a competition, series or match then all bets will be void except for those on any market that has been unconditionally determined (e.g. in the ‘Completed Match’ market).
• If a match is shortened by weather, all bets will be settled according to the official result (including for limited overs matches, the result determined by the Duckworth Lewis method).
• In the event of a match being decided by a bowl-off or toss of the coin, all bets will be void except for those on markets that have been unconditionally determined.

Test matches

• If a match starts but is later abandoned for any reason other than weather (which may include but is not limited to: dangerous or unplayable wicket or outfield; pitch vandalism; strike or boycott; crowd protests/violence; stadium damage; acts of terrorism; and acts of God), the Site reserves the right to void all bets, except for those on markets that have been unconditionally determined.
• If the match is not scheduled to be completed within five days after the original scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined.

Limited Over matches

• If a match is declared “No Result”, bets will be void on all markets for the event except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined or where the minimum number of overs have been bowled as laid out in the market specific information.
• In the event of a new toss taking place on a scheduled reserve day for a limited overs match all bets that were placed after 30 minutes before the original scheduled start of play on the first day will be made void. This rule relates to all markets except those that have been unconditionally determined (e.g. in the win the toss and toss combination markets).
• The Site will void all Super Over bets in the event of a tied Super Over regardless of settlement rules elsewhere.

Completed Match

• A match will be treated as “Completed” when the required number of overs for that game have been completed as determined by the match officials. If the required number of overs for that match has not been completed, the match will be treated as “Match Abandoned” or “No Result” and bets will be settled accordingly.
• Please be aware that bets will carry over onto any reserve day and will be settled on the official result of the match. If a match is postponed or abandoned for any reason other than weather (which may include but is not limited to: dangerous or unplayable wicket or outfield; pitch vandalism; strike or boycott; crowd protests/violence; stadium damage; acts of terrorism; and acts of God), The Site reserves the right to void all bets on this market.

Sessions/Innings/Player Runs – Fancy

• All session/innings/player runs are based on Haar-Jeet odds format.
• In the event of rain reduced innings:
  1. If an innings is curtailed before the original scheduled start of play, all bets will be settled.
  2. If an innings is curtailed after start of play, then all bets on markets for this event will be settled up to the stipulated new innings length.
• In any session market, in the event a session is not completed in full because a team is all out or declared, all bets will remain valid and the market will be settled at the innings score.
• For Advance Session markets denoted by ‘ADV’ in market name only the 1st team to bat Innings markets are valid. For Test Matches the 1st innings for each team is valid.
• We endeavour to suspended all ADV markets during the toss but this is not guaranteed for all events and dependent on media coverage. The site reserves the right to void bets deemed to take advantage of information not generally available.
• If any fixture is subject to conditions that may alter the length, structure or format of the fixture in any manner (e.g. rain), ADV markets may be suspended.
• Batsman Runs – bets will stand if the batsman has faced one ball or is given out before first ball is faced. Score counts if batsman is Not-Out including if innings is declared. In case of rain, match abandoned etc. settled bets will be valid.
• Runs at Fall of 1st Wicket ? This market will be settled based on the total number of runs scored at the fall of the first wicket. At least one ball must be bowled, if no wickets fall bets will be void unless settlement is already determined.
• Runs at Fall of Next Wicket – The score before the fall of the specified wicket determines the result of the market. If a team declares or reaches their target then the score at the conclusion of the innings will determine the settlement of the bets. Bets will be void should no more play take place following the intervention of rain, or any other delay, as the ability to reach previous quotes offered will have been removed. In case of rain, match abandoned etc. settled bets will be valid.
• Over Total Runs ? Bets will be settled on the total number of runs scored during the 1st over of the match. The over must be completed for bets to stand unless settlement is already determined.
• In the instance that a market is not suspended upon the completion of the market, all bets placed after the time of completion may be made void.
• ADV Opening Batsmen markets are only valid if the batsmen selected in the market opens the batting. If the opening batsmen change, then the opening batsmen market in relation to the particular player who was changed will be made void.
• Extras and penalty runs will be included for settlement purposes with the exception of penalty runs awarded due to a slow over rate which will be excluded

Format Specific Session Runs Rules

Test Matches

• Test Matches (Meter Paari) – All bets, open or closed, on a team?s innings runs shall be void if 70 full overs are not bowled unless one team has won, is dismissed or declares prior to that point.
• ADV markets for both teams will be valid in test matches, regardless of which team bats first.
• Where a session is open for a nominated number of overs but the team declare before the end of that session, the session is made complete by the remaining number of balls from the opposing team?s innings that follows the declaration.
• Day 1, session 1, a minimum of 25 overs must be bowled, otherwise all bets in this session market will be void.
• Day 1, session 2, a minimum of 25 overs must be bowled, otherwise all bets in this session market will be void.

Limited Overs Matches

• Limited Overs Matches – (Player Meter), Individual Batsmen Runs or Partnerships – In a limited overs match where bets may be made on an individual batsman or partnership runs in-play and the innings is curtailed or subject to any reduction in overs, then these markets will be settled at the midpoint of the last available quote before the overs were reduced. If the innings resumes at a later time, a new market may be formed. If a customer wants a position in the new market they are required to place a new bet. If there are any subsequent reductions in overs, exactly the same rules will continue to apply i.e. the market is settled at the midpoint of the last available quote before the overs were reduced and a new market may be formed.
• Total Match Four,Total Match Sixes, Total Match Runs, Total Match Wides, Total Match Extras, Total Match Wicket, Top Batsmen, Highest Over, Innings Designated Line Markets will only be valid if the second innings is played. Otherwise, all bets will be void.
• In the event of an inning length being altered due to rain, match abandonment or any other condition, markets already settled will remain settled and all bets will remain valid. Bets in markets that are yet to be determined will be void.

Exchange Runs

• Bets are placed in an exchange and matched with corresponding bets.
• Bets will be matched at the requested run line or better.
• All exchange runs are based on decimal odds format.
• All bets are placed at 2.00 odds.
• Bets will be void in the following cases, regardless of whether the outcome of the bet is already unconditionally determined:
  1. if the scheduled number of overs for the innings is reduced by rain interruption and at settlement time, the actual number of overs bowled is less than the number of overs stipulated for the market; or
  2. if the scheduled number of overs for the innings is reduced for any other reason after the innings has begun, and at settlement time, the reduced number of scheduled overs is less than the number of overs stipulated for the market.
• Please note that if the batting side reach their target within the total amount of stipulated overs or have been bowled out and the innings hasn?t been reduced in overs to less than the stipulated number of overs for the market, the market will be settled as complete.

Soccer

• If the Site does not suspend a market on time for the occurrence of a Material Event, the Site reserves the right to void bets unfairly matched after the Material Event has occurred. Voiding of these bets may take place during the event or retrospectively once a game is completed.
• If a match has not started (or if the Site believes that a match will not have started) by 23:59 (local time) on its scheduled start date, then all bets will be void unless the Site has knowledge that the match has been rescheduled to be played within three days of its original start date.
• If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and the Site believes that the match will not have been completed by 23:59 (local time) on its scheduled start date, then all markets, with the exception of any unconditionally determined markets, will be void unless the Site has knowledge that the match has been rescheduled to be played within three days of its original start date. If the Site does have knowledge that the game will be played within three days and the game is played within three days, then all bets will stand except if the match is restarted from the beginning. If the match is restarted from the beginning then all bets matched before the market went in-play will stand, but any bets placed in-play will be void, except for any bets placed in-play on markets which have been unconditionally determined, which will stand.
• For Friendly matches, all bets apply to the full duration of play according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time. If a friendly match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and is not completed (i.e. the full duration of play according to match officials, plus any stoppage time) within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined. In the case of ambiguity over the official result from match officials, the outcome will be determined by the Site (acting reasonably) using information from independent sources.
• Match odds bets apply to the full duration of play according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time. They do not include any result given after Extra Time or Penalties.
• If an official fixture lists different team details to those listed on the Site (for example, the team name, reserves, age group, gender, etc), then all bets matched on the affected markets will be void. In all other cases, bets will stand (including instances where a team name is listed without specifying the term ‘XI’ in the name). If an official fixture is shown on the Site under an incorrect competition name, then the Site reserves the right to void all bets matched on the affected markets.
• If a team is disqualified, thrown out or otherwise removed from a league, one of the following will apply:
  • If this happens before the relevant season has started, all bets on all affected markets will be void (except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined);
  • If this happens after relevant season has started, all affected markets will stand and the team will be deemed to be relegated and all bets on that team will be settled accordingly in all relevant markets (assuming, of course, that it is not subsequently reinstated before the end of the season).
• The relevant season will be deemed to have started once the first league game has been played. For the purposes of this rule, markets relating to individual matches will not be deemed to be “affected markets”.
• For ‘top goalscorer’ markets only the goals scored in the league or competition stated in the Market Information count. For example, if a player joins a club mid-season any goals scored in a different league will not count, however goals scored for a different club in the same league will count. Own goals will not count.
• In markets which relate to the number of incidents to occur, such as ‘number of corners’, these will be determined on the basis of the number taken, rather than awarded.
• For markets that relate to the number of bookings given, the number of corners taken, any goalscorer or the time of a particular goal, the result will be determined by the Site (acting reasonably) using information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement, then the Site shall (acting reasonably) determine either: (i) whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or (ii) to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where the Site has announced that it is waiting for further information, any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by the Site (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).

Tennis

General / Exchange Markets

• If a player or pairing retires or is disqualified in any match, the player or pairing progressing to the next round (or winning the tournament in the case of a final) will be deemed the winner. However if less than one set has been completed at the time of the retirement or disqualification then all bets relating to that individual match will be void.
• All bets will stand regardless of changes to scheduled venues, including any changes to a different type of surface.
• If the scheduled duration of a match is reduced or increased in the number of games/sets required to win, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined. Please note that this does not apply to ‘Match Odds’ or ‘Set Winner’ markets on Davis Cup matches or ‘dead rubber’ matches that have been shortened from five sets to three sets after the market has been loaded, provided that the match has been shortened in accordance with the competition’s rules.
• Where markets are offered on individual games or sets within a match, a retirement or disqualification during a game or set will render bets on that game or set market and all individual game or set markets void except those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.

Change of Venue or Playing Surface:

• All bets stand regardless of any change of venue, court surface, changing from indoors to outdoors and vice versa.

Davis and Federation Cup:

• All bets stand regardless of any change of venue, court surface, changing from indoors to outdoors and vice versa.Example: A match is scheduled for 5 sets, but only 3 sets can be played because of weather.

• When betting on an individual game, only the score of that specific game is taken into consideration to determine the winner of the game. If the stated game is not completed, all live wagers on the game will be voided.For example, when wagering on A. Murray Game 5 of Set 1, the winner of game 5 will determine the winner of this bet.
• If any subsequent games are not played, bets on those specific games will be void.

Greyhound racing

• All bets (excluding those struck on ante-post and Australian licensed markets) are placed on trap numbers. Greyhound names are displayed for information purposes only.
• Markets will be determined according to the official result at the time the track gives the result green light status, either in the form of an announcement or by display. Subsequent disqualifications, appeals or amendments to the result will be disregarded.
• If a non-runner or reserve runner is declared, then all bets prior to the update of the market on the Site will be void and all unmatched bets including ‘Take SP’ and ‘keep’ bets will be cancelled (except for certain SP bets as set out in Paragraph 10.5 of Part B above).
• If there are no finishers in any race or any race is declared void before the official result is declared then all bets will be void.
• If the scheduled venue is changed after the market has been loaded by the Site, all bets will be void.

Australian Specific Non-Runner Rules

• Notwithstanding the above, the following rules apply to declared non-runners in Australian greyhound markets.
• If a greyhound becomes a notified non runner after the market is loaded but prior to the commencement of the race it will be removed and all bets on the market, matched prior to the update of the market on the Site, will be voided.
• If, following the completion of a race, the stewards declare a greyhound a non-runner, the Site will resettle the market and will void all bets that were placed on that runner only. The Site will then apply a reduction factor to all bets placed on the winner (or placegetters in the case of place markets) based on that runner’s weighted average price.

Horseracing

General

• All individual race markets will be determined according to the official result at the time of the ‘weigh-in’ announcement (or equivalent). Subsequent disqualifications, appeals or amendments to the result will be disregarded.
• If a race is abandoned or otherwise declared void, or in the event of a walkover, all bets on that race will be void.
• If the scheduled venue is changed after the market has been loaded by the Site, all bets will be void.
• Where a race does not take part on its scheduled day, all bets will be void.
• If a scheduled surface type is changed (e.g. turf to dirt) all bets will stand.
• Horseracing Exchange Multiples are based on the Site’s ‘day of the race’ markets (and not the Site’s ante-post markets). The Site’s horseracing ante-post rules do not therefore apply in relation to horseracing Exchange Multiples.

The Site Non-Runner Rule

• The Site’s non-runner rule relates to the adjustment of odds on bets already matched when a horse in a race is declared a non-runner. In order to make the adjustment the Site applies a reduction factor to the remaining runners. The reduction factor allocated to a non-runner is a calculation (the details of which are described below) of that horse’s chances of winning (or being placed, etc as appropriate) and is applied to bets already matched on the other runners in the relevant market or markets.
• Any horse listed when the relevant market is loaded which does not subsequently come under starter’s orders is deemed to be a non-runner.
• When the market is loaded each horse is given a ‘reduction factor’, based on a forecast price, which is expressed as a percentage. These reduction factors may be updated periodically at the discretion of the Site based on trading in the market, but after approximately 15 minutes (approximately 5 minutes for Australian and US markets) from the scheduled ‘off’ time of a given race, they will be updated only in exceptional circumstances. The current reduction factor percentage for each horse can be viewed on the ‘info’ page on the Site website or by asking the Helpdesk.
• Reductions will be made to both win and place markets but applied differently (as described below), and horses will have a different reduction factor for each market.
• As soon as the Site becomes aware that a horse is an official non-runner or a highly likely non-runner, following a statement to the press from connections, the following will happen:
  • All matched bets on that horse will be void and the horse will be removed from the market.
  • In the win market: if the reduction factor of the non-runner is 2.5% or greater, the traded price of all the matched bets on the remaining horses will be reduced by an amount equal to the non-runner’s final reduction factor and all the unmatched offers to lay will be cancelled. If the non-runner’s reduction factor is less than 2.5%, reductions will not be applied and unmatched bets will not be cancelled.
  • In the place market the reduction factor of all non-runners will be applied (even if less than 2.5%) and the potential winnings in relation to matched bets on the remaining horses will be reduced by an amount equal to the non-runner’s final reduction factor. Only if the non-runner’s reduction factor is 4.0% or greater will all the unmatched offers to lay be cancelled.
  • All the reduction factors on the remaining horses will be adjusted to reflect their improved chance of winning.
• Reduction factors are not applied to bets which are struck in-play. However, if a market is turned in-play prematurely by error (or, for example, there is a false start), all bets matched during this time will be subject to any later reduction factor, provided the market is turned out of play before the race commences. In the event of a late withdrawal, the Site reserves the right to remove the runner after completion of the race. In this case only those bets matched prior to the off will be affected by a reduction factor.
• In the event of a non-runner being removed from a race in error or following incorrect information regarding a runner’s participation, the Site will reinstate both the runner and all previously matched bets associated with that runner. All bets made between the time of withdrawal and reinstatement will be void in both the place market and the win market. The reduction factor applied to matched bets at the time of withdrawal will be reversed and the original prices will become valid.
• Any non-runners will be removed from the relevant markets in the order in which they are brought to the Site’s attention. If the Site becomes aware of more than one non-runner at the same time, it will remove the non-runners from the relevant markets in racecard order.
• If a runner is not included in a market because of an error or because of incorrect information regarding a runner’s participation, the Site reserves the right to introduce the missing runner into the market at any time prior to settlement (even after the race has been run), provided that the Site has determined that the missing runner is not a material runner (i.e. a selection with a reduction factor of approx. 2.5% or less in the win market). In such circumstances, all pre-play unmatched and matched bets will stand, however if the runner is not introduced before the start of the race, all in-play bets will be void. However, if the missing runner is deemed to be a material runner, then the malformed market will be void and a new market will be loaded where possible.

How the Reductions are applied for Exchange markets

• In the win market, reductions will be made on the traded price.For example: if the non-runner’s final reduction factor is 25% the traded price on all previously matched bets on other horses will be reduced by 25% – traded price of 8.0 would become 6.0 etc. And these might be further reduced if another horse is subsequently declared a non-runner.For example: if the non-runner’s final reduction factor is 25% the traded price on all previously matched bets on other horses will be reduced by 25% – – traded price of 8.0 would become 6.0. If the each Way terms were 1/5th odds for 3 places, the corresponding price for the Place portion of the bet would reduce from 2.4 to 2.0.
• In the place market, reductions will be made to the potential winnings on the bet only, and not the traded price.For example: if the non-runner’s final reduction factor is 25% the potential winnings on all previously matched bets on the other horses will be reduced by 25% – a traded price of 8.0 would become 6.25.For example a ?10 bet on a horse to be placed at a traded price of 8.0 would provide winnings of ?70. If there is a non-runner with a reduction factor of 25% in the race, that factor will be applied to the ?70 of potential winnings leaving potential winnings of ?52.50. Therefore the revised traded price will be 6.25.
• The traded price may be further reduced if any other horse(s) is subsequently declared a non-runner, however odds cannot be reduced below 1.01.
• Reserves: A reserve runner may appear in the relevant markets but will have a non-applicable reduction factor until the Site has received confirmation that it is a confirmed runner, in which case an applicable reduction factor may apply to it.
• For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction factor applicable to a non-runner replaced by a reserve, will be applied to all bets struck on the relevant markets, prior to the removal from those markets of such non-runner by the Site. Likewise, should a reserve runner become a confirmed runner but subsequently become a non-runner, any reduction factor applicable to such non-runner will be applied to all bets struck on the relevant markets, prior to the removal from those markets of such non-runner by the Site.

Additional rules

• Card numbers are posted as a guide only: bets are placed on a named horse.
• Horses will not be coupled.
• Where any horse(s) runs for purse money only it is deemed a non-runner for betting purposes. Should this result in the number of possible winners stated in the relevant Market Information being equal to or greater than the number of runners in the relevant Site market, all bets in the market will be void.
