These Specific Sports Rules form part of and should be read alongside the Sportsbook Rules. 

The following rules include reasons for voiding bets. 

Bets will be settled based on 90 minutes play according to the match officials, including injury time. Unless otherwise stated, extra time and penalty shoot-outs will not count.

If an official fixture lists different team details to those listed on the Website (for example, substitutes, age group, gender, etc.), then all bets placed 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).

For matches that are scheduled for a duration other than the standard 90 minutes, bets will be settled based on regular time, including injury time. If a match is played in an unusual format (for example, 3 or 4 periods) then all half time markets will be void.

For any bets involving a penalty to be scored, if there is a retake of the first penalty we will settle the market on the result of the retaken penalty. This may include several retakes until the sequence is finished.

There is a small possibility that, in case of an Error, we will offer bets in respect of which it is impossible for the outcome to occur (for example, we continue to offer bets on a player to be the first goalscorer in a match after that player has been substituted). While we have implemented systems which aim to prevent Errors such as this from occurring, in the small number of circumstances where it does, we will void the bets in question.

Postponed matches must be rescheduled to kick-off within 3 calendar days of the original kick-off date for bets to stand (otherwise bets will be void). If the rescheduled kick-off time is not announced by the relevant governing body within 3 hours of the original kick-off time for the postponed match, single bets will be void and multiple bets will be settled on the results of the remaining selections.

Changes to the kick-off time of a match prior to kick-off will not count as a postponement.

Bets on abandoned matches will be void unless:

(a)          (i) a rescheduled kick-off time is announced by the relevant governing body within 3 hours; and (ii) play is scheduled to resume within 3 calendar days, of the original kick-off time for the abandoned match; or

(b)          the result of the relevant market has been unconditionally determined.

If the referee directs players to leave the field for a temporary suspension of play and play is resumed before 12:00am (local time) of the following day, the suspension will not count as an abandonment.

Unless otherwise stated, any player who takes the field for any part of a match will be deemed as a runner for settlement purposes. Only players not in the squad or unused substitutes will be deemed non-runners.

If a team is disqualified or removed from a league or tournament before the relevant competition has started, then all bets involving that team will be void.

If the venue of a match is other than that indicated on our website, bets will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's home ground, in which case bets on the match will be void. However, in major international tournaments (for example, the World Cup and European Championships), all venues will be deemed neutral. If the scheduled venue of a match is changed, including if the venue changes to a new venue in a different country, all bets will stand.

If the VAR is consulted, the occurrence which led to the referral will be deemed to have occurred at the actual time of its occurrence (rather than the time on which the relevant referral, or decision, was made).

If a bet has been settled and, due to a subsequent VAR decision, it becomes apparent that such settlement was inaccurate, we will reverse such settlement (provided that the VAR decision occurred prior to the conclusion of the match or other timeframe relating to the bet).

Bets placed between the occurrence of an incident that led to a VAR review and the related VAR decision will be void unless:

• the VAR review (and subsequent decision) did not ultimately alter the decision made by the on-field officials; or
• the VAR review (and subsequent decision) altered the decision made by the on-field officials but did not have any significant influence on the bet in question. All bets which were not materially influenced by the VAR review (and subsequent decision) will stand.

In order to eliminate any doubt, we will consider the VAR as having been used if this is understood from the referee's gestures (for example, hand gestures or stopping the match to review the incident themselves) or VAR usage is confirmed by the match report issued by the official governing body who is ultimately responsible for oversight of the applicable match. In cases where it is unclear if the VAR has been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, bets will be settled on the information acquired from feed providers and generally reputable online sources (acting reasonably).

For markets where the ‘Star Sub’ feature is available (indicated by the Star Sub icon), if the selected player is substituted before achieving the relevant market outcome and the substitute player achieves that outcome instead, bets will be settled as winning bets.

For example, for an ‘Anytime Goal Scorer’ market, if Ousmane Dembélé were selected and then substituted for Bradley Barcola without having scored, and Bradley Barcola were to score thereafter, the bet would be settled as a winning bet.

Match Odds 90 is a stand-alone pre-event market and is limited to leagues where the Match Odds 90 market type is available.

Bets will be settled as winning bets if the chosen selection leads by 1 or more goals at the 90-minute (90:00) mark of play.

If the chosen selection fails to lead by 1 or more goals at the 90-minute mark of play but goes on to win the match after a period of injury time, the bet will be settled as a winning bet.

Examples:

(a) If you bet on team to win and they are leading until stoppage time but, then concede an equalizing goal in stoppage time (90:00:01 and onwards) your bet will be paid out as a winner.

(b) If you bet on team to win in this market and they are drawing at 90:00 but, your selection score a goal in stoppage time and go on to win the game your bet will be paid out as a winner.

When a VAR review results in a goal being allowed for a particular team, the time of the goal will be determined by the official data provider and not by the time the VAR concludes.

For ’team scoring most goals’ and ‘team top goalscorer’ markets, extra time is included, however penalty shoot-outs are not included.

The first half is deemed to last 45 minutes, regardless of injury time. Also, for these markets, the ‘0 - 10 Minutes’ selection covers the first 10 minutes of the match, from 0:00 until just before the clock hits 10:00. The same principle applies to each of the other selections in this market.

Bets will be void if the regular time (end of second half) result is a draw.

Bets on players that do not take part in the match will be void. Bets on first goalscorer markets will be void if the player takes the pitch after the first goal is scored. For other goalscorer markets, players will be deemed a participant in the listed market if they take the pitch at any point in 90 minutes play, including injury time.

For any market relating to a particular specified goalscorer, own goals will not be taken into account. Should an own goal be scored, then bets on the subsequent scorer will be deemed winners. The active goalscorer market will always be representative of the next goal to be scored in the match regardless of the previous goal being an own goal.

We will use reasonable efforts to quote all participants but that will not discount a player that is not quoted from being settled a winner.

Bets will be settled on first goal, second goal, third goal, fourth goal and fifth goal only. Players who do not score until after the fifth goal has been scored will be settled as losing selections. If fewer than 5 goals are scored in any given match, bets will be settled on those goals that are scored. If no goals are scored, all each way bets will be settled as losing bets.

If a player enters the field of play after the first goal is scored, both the win and place part of the bet will be void unless the first goal is an own goal (in which case bets will stand). If a player is sent off or substituted before the first goal is scored, bets on that selection will be settled as losing bets.

If a player scores the first goal of the match, both their win and place part are winners. If a player scores the second, third, fourth or fifth goal, only their place part is a winner.

A player cannot be placed twice (for example, if they score the second and third goal, only the second goal is deemed a winner).

Each way bets on no goalscorer, last goalscorer, first team goalscorers and Scorecasts are not accepted. If any such bets are taken in Error, the full stake will be invested as a win only bet.

Place-only betting is not accepted.

Extra time does not count.

Own goals do not count. In cases where an own goal is 1 of the first 5 goals then the sixth goal will be settled as a winner on the place part of the each way bet. If 2 of the first 5 goals are own goals then the sixth and seventh goals will be settled as winners on the place part of the each way bet, etc.

Bets will be settled on the player who scores the most goals in their respective match out of the players listed (the listed players may or may not be playing in the same match). The ‘tie’ will be the winning selection should both players score the same number of goals or both players not score. Both players must start their respective matches for bets to stand. Own goals will not count.

A ‘Scorecast’ is a first goalscorer and correct score double.

Players either not taking part in the match or taking part after a goal has been scored will cause a Scorecast bet to revert to a single on the correct score market at the relevant odds offered at kick-off. Should the initial goal (or goals) be own goals then bets on the subsequent scorer and correct score double will be deemed winners. If the only goals scored in the match are own goals, then bets will be settled as singles on the correct score market at the relevant odds offered at kick-off. Should a match be abandoned after a goal has been scored, then all bets will be settled as singles on the first goalscorer market at the relevant odds offered at kick-off.

A ‘Wincast’ is a first goalscorer and match odds double (‘match odds’ meaning our odds for the outcome of a match).

If a player does not take the field by the time the first goal has been scored, bets will be settled as singles on the match odds market at the relevant odds offered at kick-off.

If the initial goal is an own goal, bets on the subsequent scorer and result double will be deemed winners.

All bets will stand irrespective of whether or not the player takes any part in the relevant league, tournament or competition. If there is any dispute as to who has scored a particular goal, we will follow the decision made by the relevant governing body.

Only the goals scored in the relevant league, tournament or competition will 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.

Any goals scored in play-off matches will not count.

Goals scored in extra time are included, however goals scored in penalty shoot-outs are not included.

Bets will be settled on a nominated player to achieve the stated stipulation in both the first half and second half.

If the nominated player plays no part in the first half of the match, bets will be void.

If the nominated player plays any part of the first half and fails to achieve the stated first half stipulation, bets will be settled as losing bets regardless of the duration of their participation in either the first or second half.

If the nominated player plays any part of the first half and does achieve the stated stipulation but is subsequently withdrawn before or during half time and plays no part in the second half, bets will be void.

If a team is relegated from a league because, at the end of a season, it has finished within the relegation positions which are relevant to that league, bets on that team to be relegated will be settled as winning bets.

If a team is disqualified or removed from the league before the relevant season has started, all bets on the affected market will be void (and a new market will subsequently be added).

If a team is disqualified or removed from the league after the relevant season has started (or a determination is made by the relevant governing body, during the season, that the team will be disqualified or removed from the league following the season's conclusion), all bets on the affected team will be void.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a points deduction is imposed on a team such that it finishes the season within the relegation places which are relevant to the applicable league, bets on that team to be relegated will be settled as winning bets.

All teams must complete all their league fixtures for bets on ‘to finish bottom’ to stand. If one or more teams do not complete all their fixtures for any reason, this market will be void. Any fixture that is abandoned, but an official result is awarded, will be classified as a completed fixture, and bets on this market will stand. Any subsequent amendments to league tables after all matches have been completed will not affect settlement of this market.

This market offers betting on the chosen selection being the score at any time within 90 minutes of the match plus any injury time. Where a match is 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes and injury time, all selections will be losers. Extra time does not count.

For extra time markets, bets apply to 30 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus any injury time. However, penalty shoot-outs are not included. Bets will be settled on the result during the extra time period only. For the purposes of this market, the score will be deemed to be 0-0 at the start of the extra time period.

If 1 or more of the matches do not go ahead, they will be deemed non-runners, and the original odds will be reduced accordingly.

The ‘Golden Boot’ award is given to the player who has scored most goals.

If 2 or more players score the same number of goals, the player with more assists will be deemed the winner.

If 2 or more players are still equal after taking assist into account, the minutes played by the player in the tournament will be taken into account, with the player playing fewer minutes ranked first.

The same criteria applies for each-way bets on this market.

If a football match is abandoned after it has started, Request A Bet bets will be void unless unconditionally determined at the time of abandonment. However, if the match is rescheduled to be played within 3 days of its original start date, bets will stand and apply to the rescheduled match.

For bets involving 2 or more occurrences, those occurrences must take place at separate times for the bet to be successful. For example, a Request A Bet bet on a header to be scored and a goal to be scored from outside the penalty area will only be successful if a goal is scored via a header and a separate goal is scored from outside the penalty area.

Any bets involving free-kick goals must be scored directly from a free-kick. For the avoidance of doubt, a goal will be deemed to have been scored directly from a free-kick if the individual who takes the free-kick is awarded the applicable goal (even if the ball touched another player before it crossed the goal line). Penalties do not count as free-kicks.

For bets relating to any competition long specials, if one or more matches is not played, any selections that require an occurrence (goal, etc.) to occur in each match will be settled at reduced odds according to the actual number of matches that were played.
