Settlement of Wagers

Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.

In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.

General

All match markets will be settled including overtime if played unless otherwise stated. Regulation time must be completed for bets to stand unless otherwise stated. If the duration of a match is changed by the governing body prior to the commencement of play, the revised game length will be regarded as the official regulation time for this match, and all bets will stand as long as this new regulation time is completed.

Postponed, Interrupted and Matches not Played as Listed

Postponed Matches

Postponed matches are void unless re-arranged and played within 5 days of the original scheduled match time.

Interrupted Matches

If a match is interrupted but subsequently resumed (from the point in the match at which it was interrupted) and played to a finish within 48 hours of the original scheduled match time, all bets will stand on the fixture.

Otherwise if the match is resumed but not finished within 48 hours of the original scheduled match time, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original fixture will be void, except for those bets the outcome of which had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in fixture.

If a match is interrupted for any reason, and is replayed in full, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original fixture will be void, except for those bets the outcome of which had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in fixture.

Matches not Played as Listed

If a match venue is changed then bets already placed will stand providing the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed then bets placed based on the original listing will be void.
