Soccer
General Soccer Betting Rules
BetBuilder bets placed on soccer apply to 90 minutes plus injury time, unless it is explicitly stated that the bet applies to Extra-time and/or Penalties. For all bets containing such wording, the remaining selections in the bet will be settled on the match (90 minutes plus injury time) result, unless stated otherwise. Match officials determine whether the full 90 minutes and injury time is to be played or has been played, all bets are active unless the match is deemed as abandoned.
Any reference to ‘bet’ refers to the entire contents of a BetBuilder betslip. Any reference to a ‘selection’ is in reference to one selection within the related bet. A BetBuilder bet is the aggregate bet compromised of all constituent selections.
If a player in the bet does not take any part in the match, then the whole bet will be made void, regardless of the rest of the selections within the bet. This rule refers to any player related markets involving both goals and cards.
If all the selections within the bet are valid (all players involved within the bet take part within the match), any losing selection within the bet will deem the entire bet a losing bet.
For any obvious pricing errors, we reserve the right to cancel/void any bets placed at that wrong price. We also reserve the right to cancel/void any bets on events where the venue is changed after the publication of odds.
All markets will be settled on the result of the match on the day that it is played and completed. Any results that are changed retrospectively, for example: dubious goals panel reviews, results reversed for ineligible players, will not alter the settlement of the market.
If an event is abandoned, any selections where the outcome has already been decided e.g. halftime result or first team to score, will stand. All other selections will be made void regardless of the score-line at the time of abandonment. Abandoned matches will be deemed to be matches which do not reach their natural conclusion by midnight local time. Matches where a referee removes the players from the field of play for a temporary period, but the remaining minutes of play take place by midnight local time on that same day, will not be deemed as abandoned.
If an event is postponed before the kick off and subsequently rescheduled to be played less than 48 hours from the original kick off, all bets will stay active and will be settled upon the result of the rescheduled event. If an event is postponed before the kick-off and subsequently rescheduled to be played more than 48 hours from the original kick off, all bets will be voided.
Any event where the kick-off date/time has been altered well in advance (e.g. to accommodate live TV or to ease fixture congestion) will not be classed as postponed.
For matches played at a neutral venue, all bets will still count regardless of the order the teams are listed and whether we have indicated it is as being played at a neutral venue (except in the situation of an obvious pricing error).
Bet Period Rules
All below periods are periods that can be taken with markets. For example, a bet containing: 90mins period with Who will win?, you are betting on the result over the entirety of the match (90 mins plus injury time).
90 mins – This refers to the entirety of the match. All bets involving 90 min selections apply to 90 minutes plus injury time. Match officials determine whether the full 90 minutes and injury time is to be played or has been played. Any event occurring before the official start of the match, during the half time break (any time after the whistle for half time and before the start of the second half) or after the final whistle do not count.
1st 10 mins – This refers to the first 10 minutes of the match (00:00 and 09:59). For example, a corner awarded in this period but not taken until after 10:00 will not count. Any event that occurs 10:00 or later within the match will not count. Any event occurring before the official start of the match does not count.
1st half – This refers to the first half of the match only, including any injury time minutes played within it. Any event occurring before the official start of the match or during the half time break (any time after the whistle for half time) will not count.
2nd half – This refers to the second half of the match only, including any injury time minutes played within it. Any event occurring before the second half (first half or during the half time break) or after the final whistle will not count.
Each half – This refers to an event happening in both halves of the match. If the chosen event happens in neither half or within only one of the halves this will be deemed a losing selection. Any event occurring before the official start of the match or during the half time break (any time after the whistle for half time and before the start of the second half) or after the final whistle will not count.
For any ‘each half’ period player related bets, if the player is to participate in any part of the first half then this selection will stand. If they are not to participate in the first half, then this selection will be voided.
Either half – This refers to an event happening in one, or both halves of the match. If the chosen event doesn’t happen within the match this will be deemed a losing selection. Any event occurring before the official start of the match, during the half time break (any time after the whistle for half time and before the start of the second half) or after the final whistle will not count
For any player related bets in relation with ‘either half’, if the player participates at any point in the match then this selection will stand. For example, for a player to score either half, if they score in the first half but do not play in the second half, this will be a winning selection. If they are not to participate in the match at all then this selection will be voided.

The same applies for a yellow card followed by a straight red card. The maximum card count one player can be issued with is three. Cards shown before kick-off, during the half time interval or after full time will not count. Cards shown to players or officials who do not constitute active on-field players do not count.
How will a team win? – You are betting on different markets relating to how a team will win, including:

AFL
Selection and bet results
All AFL BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra time, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a quarter or half finishes scoreless, then goal or point-scoring selections such as First or Last Goalscorer for that period will be settled as losers.
Extra time
All AFL matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra time.
Second half / fourth quarter markets
All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime if it occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and overtime
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the field of play as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the field of play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to kick a goal in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or interchange/emergencies) and never took the field, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Postponed and incomplete matches
Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 48 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 48 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 48 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:
- Placed bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the BetBuilder in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
American Football
Selection and bet results
All NFL BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a tie after overtime, even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a quarter, half or match finishes scoreless, then touchdown or point-scoring selections for that period (e.g. Player to Score a 1st Half Touchdown) will be settled as losers.
Overtime
All NFL matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime.
Second half / fourth quarter markets
All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime if it occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and overtime
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player participates in at least one play at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player does not participate in a single play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score a touchdown in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player participated in the first play of the match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced and did not participate in any plays whatsoever, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Anytime scorer market doesn't count passing touchdowns by quarterbacks.
Postponed and incomplete matches
If a match is postponed or incomplete, all bets will stand if the game is subsequently resumed or played within the same scheduling week of the NFL schedule (Thursday – Wednesday local stadium time) as the originally scheduled start time. All bets placed on games which are postponed and commence outside their originally designated scheduling week will be void, and stakes will be refunded
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:
- Placed bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the BetBuilder in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
Baseball
Selection and bet results
All baseball SGM selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a tie or draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra innings, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to MLB as extra innings are played until a team wins, but may be applicable to other baseball leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void due to the player(s) in question not participating in a game (as per section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void. Selections voided for other reasons (typically game abandonment or postponements) will be resulted according to the rules outlined in sections 7 and 8 of this document.
Extra Innings
All baseball matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra innings. All team and player statistics accrued during extra innings are included for the purposes of bet settlement.
Listed / Designated / Named Pitchers
BetBuilder baseball bets do not include and are not reliant on listed/designated/named pitchers. If either or both originally announced starting pitchers in a game are scratched or replaced by other pitchers, prior to the match commencing and after any bets have been placed, those bets will stand. Where pitchers may have been listed in or relative to the display of any selections, these will be treated as indicative only, and will not affect or prevent the application of this rule. Selections specifically involving a pitcher who does not play (and therefore bets including those selections) will still be voided as per the rules for player-specific markets in section 4.
Player-specific markets
If a player does not participate in a match, selections specific to that player (and therefore the entire bet) will be void. This rule is applied as follows: 1. Selections on hitting / batting markets will be active if the player in question gets at least one plate appearance. If the player does not appear at the plate, these selections will be treated as void. 2. Selections on base stealing markets will be active if the player in question enters the game at any point. This includes making a plate appearance but also playing as a fielder, defensive substitute, pinch-runner, and so on. If the player does not enter the game in any such capacity at any point, these selections will be treated as void. 3. Selections on pitching markets will be active if the player in question throws at least one pitch in the game. If the player does not do so, these selections will be treated as void. Player selections will be considered active or void per the rules above, regardless of whether a selection may reference a specific period of a match. For instance, a selection on a certain player to get 1+ hits in the first 5 innings of a match would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player only entered the game as a substitute after the 5th inning, and made his plate appearance(s) from that point. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and thus did not make any plate appearances, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
7 Innings Games / Double Headers
Where baseball games have been originally scheduled prior to commencement to be played for fewer than 9 innings (e.g. 7 innings games for MLB double headers), matches will be settled as normal in accordance with the rules outlined in this document (i.e. treated as regular rather than reduced-innings matches).
Postponed and incomplete matches
If a game does not commence on the scheduled calendar day of the officially listed start time (local stadium time), all bets on the match will be void. If a game is suspended after it has commenced, and is then resumed within 36 hours (inclusive) of the original start time, all bets will stand. If a game is suspended after it has commenced, and is resumed more than 36 hours after the original start time or not at all, it will be treated as an abandoned game and settled under the rules in sections 7 and 8 (all bets will be void apart from those which have already been irrevocably determined). This rule does not apply to playoff games; in the case of a suspended playoff or postseason tournament game, all bets will stand through any case of suspension, until the game is officially completed as per the relevant league/organisation.
Reduced-Innings Matches
Where baseball games are shortened after the match has commenced (e.g. innings reduced due to bad weather), they will be settled according to the following rules: 1. Bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who does not participate in the game, as per the rules outlined in section 4. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule. 2. If every selection within a bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of reduced innings had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg bet containing an over total runs selection and a certain player to hit a home run, in a game where the required runs total had been reached and the player did hit a home run, and where the match was played with reduced innings, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the game being played with reduced innings had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total runs selection where a game is shortened while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the reduced innings would impact that outcome. 3. If a single selection of a bet has lost and a match is then shortened, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of reduced innings, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a bet including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then played with reduced innings, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently shortened or not. 4. If there are no losing selections within a bet and at least one void selection on a match where innings are reduced after commencement, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are effectively undecided after the reduced number of innings have been completed, and may still have won or lost if the full amount of innings had been completed as scheduled. For example, a bet including an over total runs selection, in a shortened game concluded while the total runs are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total runs selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the shortening of the match, so the selection and therefore bet will be voided. 5. The only exception to the rules above is the Match Winner / Money Line / Head-to- Head market result. This will be settled according to the official league result of the match – if a game with reduced innings still ends in an official win/loss result per the relevant league, the Match Winner market will be settled as such. Matches concluded after 8.5 innings (where the home team is ahead after 8.5 innings and the match is ended there) are not treated as shortened matches. They will be settled as per normal settlement rules and not by the rules presented in this section for matches with reduced innings. This also applies to games scheduled to be 7 innings which finish after 6.5 innings with the home team ahead.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the scheduled calendar day rule for postponed matches as described in section 6. If a game is abandoned after commencing, but still ends with an official win/loss result per the relevant league/organisation, it will be settled under the rules in section 7 for reduced innings matches. This will include the settling of that official result under subsection 7.5. If a game is abandoned after commencing and is not designated with an official win/loss result by the relevant league/organisation, it will be settled as per the rules in section 7 for reduced innings matches, but the Match Winner / Money Line / Head-to-Head market result will be settled as void.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one originally scheduled, bets will stand if the original home and away teams remain designated as such. If the venue is changed and the home and away team designations are reversed, bets placed under the original home/away listing will be void.
Basketball
Selection and bet results
All basketball BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a draw after overtime (or normal time if no overtime is to be played), even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to NBA or NBL matches as they play repeated overtime periods until a team wins, but may be applicable to other basketball leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not.
Overtime
All basketball matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime.
Second half / fourth quarter markets
All second half and fourth quarter market selections do include overtime periods if they occur. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and any overtime periods played.
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player enters the court as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the court during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score 10.5+ points in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the court during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and never took to the court, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Postponed and incomplete matches
Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 24 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 24 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 24 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 24-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:
- Placed bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the BetBuilder in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
Cricket
General T20 Cricket BetBuilder Betting Rules
BetBuilder bets placed on T20 Cricket are not inclusive of any ‘Super Over’. Any reduced amount of play in the match (one ball or more), due to weather or otherwise, will deem any currently active betslip to be void. An active betslip is defined as a betslip that has not already achieved a settlement status at the time of the confirmation of reduced overs.
Settlement rulings
If a player in the bet does not take any part in the match, then the whole bet will be made void, regardless of the rest of the selections within the bet. If the player takes to the pitch, then all player related bets will be settled accordingly as win/loss. ‘Player A to get 1+ Six’ would be a losing selection if he participates in fielding but does not bat. ‘Player B to get 1+ Wicket’ would be a losing selection if he takes any part in the match regardless of whether he bowls. This ruling refers to any player related markets.
Any betslip containing one or more losing selections will be settled as a loser, except for bets containing one or more players that do not take any part in the match - which will be settled as a void regardless of the other selections. All selections must be winners for the entire betslip to be settled as a winner.
If all the selections within the bet are valid (all players involved within the bet take part within the match), any losing selection within the bet will deem the entire bet a losing bet. A winning slip must be comprised of winning selections only.
In the event of a batsman retiring for any reason, all relevant batting markets for this batsman will be settled on the runs at the time of their retirement.
Any markets ending in a ‘dead heat’ will be deemed as a loser. For example, if you are to bet Player A ‘Top bat for his team’ and both him and Player B are top run scorers on the joint number of runs for their team– this would constitute a loser.
All ‘Team Runs’ markets will stand independent of the toss result. For example, ‘Over 150 Team A Runs’ is resulted even when Team B bat first and achieve a total of 140 runs.
For any obvious pricing errors, we reserve the right to cancel/void any bets placed at that wrong price. We also reserve the right to cancel/void any bets on events where the venue is changed after the publication of odds.
For matches played at a neutral venue, all bets will still count regardless of the order the teams are listed and whether we have indicated it is as being played at a neutral venue (except in the situation of an obvious pricing error).
All markets will be settled on the result of the match on the day that it is played and completed. Any results that are changed retrospectively will not alter the settlement of the market.
Affected Matches/Limited Over Rulings
Any reduced amount of play in the match (one ball or more), due to weather or otherwise, will deem any currently active betslip to be void. An active betslip is defined as a betslip that has not already achieved a settlement status at the time of the confirmation of reduced overs. If a betslip already contains a losing selection then it will be settled as a losing betslip. If your betslip contains only winning selections except for one or more selections that have been made void due to limited over rulings – the entire betslip will be settled as a void. All selections must be winners for the entire betslip to be settled as a winner.
Any match where the start date/time has been altered well in advance (e.g. to ease fixture congestion) will not be classed as postponed.
Postponed Matches
If a match is postponed before the scheduled start and is subsequently rescheduled to be played less than 24 hours from the originally allotted start time, all bets will stay active and will be settled upon the result of the rescheduled match. If a match is postponed before the original start date/time and is subsequently rescheduled to be played more than 24 hours from the original start time, all bets will be voided.
Any match where the start date/time has been altered well in advance (e.g. to ease fixture congestion) will not be classed as postponed.

Rugby League
Selection and bet results
All rugby league BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra time, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a half or match finishes scoreless, then goal or point-scoring selections such as First or Last Tryscorer for that period will be settled as losers.
Extra time
All rugby league matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra time.
Second half markets
All second half market selections do include extra time if it occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and extra time.
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the field of play as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the field of play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or substitutes) and never took the field, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Postponed and incomplete matches
Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 48 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 48 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 48 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:
- Placed bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the BetBuilder in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
Rugby Union
Selection and bet results
All rugby union BetBuilder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra time, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a half or match finishes scoreless, then goal or point-scoring selections such as First or Last Tryscorer for that period will be settled as losers.
Extra time
All rugby union matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra time.
Second half markets
All second half market selections do include extra time if it occurs. For example, a total second half points selection would include the points scored in both the second half and extra time.
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the field of play as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the field of play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or substitutes) and never took the field, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Postponed and incomplete matches
Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 48 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 48 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 48 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:
- Placed bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an BetBuilder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the BetBuilder in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg BetBuilder containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an BetBuilder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a BetBuilder including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within a BetBuilder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the BetBuilder will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, an BetBuilder including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
Ice Hockey
Selection and bet results
All ice hockey SGM selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within this document, will be settled as a loser. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void for any reason (such as a selected player not participating in the match – see section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void.
For instance, selections on a team to win a match where it is a draw after overtime (or normal time if no overtime is to be played), even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. This will not be relevant to NHL matches as they advance to shootouts after a tied overtime period (regular season) or play open-ended sudden death overtime (playoffs), but may be applicable to other ice hockey leagues or competitions as per their individual competition rules. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a period finishes scoreless, then goalscoring selections such as First or Last Goalscorer for that period will be settled as losers.
Overtime / Shootouts
All ice hockey matches will be settled on the official declared result including any overtime and shootouts. Goals scored in shootouts are disregarded for settlement purposes. The goal assigned to the score of a winning team after a shootout (e.g. the only goal in a game that finishes 0-0 after overtime and therefore 1-0 after the shootout) counts for the purposes of total game score and total team goal selections, but is not assigned to a player and does not count towards the settlement of any player scoring markets.
Third period markets
All third period market selections do include overtime and the resultant goal from shootouts if they occur. For example, a total third period goals selection would include the goals scored in both the third period and the winning goal from either overtime or resulting from the shootout.
Player-specific markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the rink as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the rink during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to score in the third period would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the ice during the third period. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or bench) and never took the ice, the selection and therefore bet would be void.
Postponed and incomplete matches
Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 24 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 24 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 24 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.
Abandoned matches
If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 24-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply
- SGMs will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the rink as an active player. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.
- If every selection within an SGM on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the SGM in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg SGM containing an over total goals selection and a certain player to score, in a game where the required goals have been reached and the player did score before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total goals selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.
- If a single selection of an SGM has lost and a match is then abandoned, the SGM will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, an SGM including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.
- If there are no losing selections within an SGM and at least one void selection at the time of a math abandonment, the SGM will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, an SGM including an over total goals selection, in a game abandoned while the total goals are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total goals selection was still undecided and may have won or lost for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.
Venue changes
If the venue of a match is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match will be voided.
