3. Sports Rules
3.1. General Betting RulesThe outcome of a market is settled once this is determined. If a market is not determined during the game, the company settles the result of the game once the normal duration (regular time) of the match is concluded, unless stated otherwise in the market description on the website.
Example 1: Match winner 1X2 market of an event is determined after the end of the normal duration (regular time) of the event. Football (Soccer) 1Χ2 Match Winner is determined after the 90 min, including any extra minutes called by the referee of the match as “normal duration”.
In case an event is driven to Overtime (when regular time does not decide the winner) all the markets clearly state that is subject to “include overtime” are paid after the completion of the Overtime. Any penalty kicks (or other decider) that may follow, are not taken into consideration unless clearly stated in the market.
Events not started on time for any reason or even postponed may be kept open and all bets remain valid if those kick off (start) within the next 48 hours from the official start time. In any other case, the company reserves, at its own discretion, the right to void all bets of such postponed events and refund the stakes to the customers.
Events abandoned after their starting time and get continued from the organizer within 48 hours from the official start time, the company reserves the right to keep all bets valid and settle according to this result.
Events abandoned after its starting time and not get continued by the organizer within 48 hours, the company will settle all determined markets decided in the pitch and void the rest by refunding stakes to customers. However in cases like that, the company reserves, at its own discretion, the right to void all bets of such abandoned events and refund the stakes to the customers.
On the above general rule, there are exceptions:
Tennis games will be kept open with all bets valid until the officials or organizing body declares a winner. In such a case, the 48 hours rule is not valid. However and in case of a player's retirement, all markets determined in the pitch are settled accordingly and all the rest are declared void and null. For avoidance of doubt if a tennis player retires before the last point is concluded, the match-winner market is void, but all markets related to specific sets or games that are determined, are settled accordingly.
Baseball games when two teams are playing 2 games in a row are considered as Game 1 and Game 2 and will be settled as chronologically played with all bets valid. For avoidance of doubt, if Team A plays vs Team B twice, the result of Game 1 will count for bets offered on Game 1 as originally scheduled and the result of Game 2 will count for bets offered on Game 2, as originally scheduled. The 48 hours rule is valid.
(e.g. if a football match is abandoned in the second half, the markets of the first half will be settled normally).
(e.g. in the example above, the markets of the second half have not decided will be void and stakes will be refunded to customers)
3.2. The company reserves the right not to accept all or part of a bet without providing a reason to the customer. If a bet is not accepted, the customer's stakes are refunded.3.3. Before an event starts, the company reserves, at its own discretion, the right to void or cancel part or whole of a bet even after its acceptance without providing any reason to the customer.
3.4. After the event start, the company reserves, at its own discretion, the right to void or cancel part or whole of a bet, even after its acceptance if there is a valid reason for this, such as:
mistake in the wording (palpable error) of the event or the odds, or starting time.
the customer attempts to bypass company limits (potential payout) and risk management by placing multiple identical or similar bets or opening multiple accounts
the customer is getting advantage of any public announcement or secret information he has access to that determines the outcome of the bet
the customer combined related bets
the customer is actively participating in the event, such as Players, Referees, and Managers, or has a direct or indirect relationship with events participants
the company suffers a technical error offering wrong odds or events
any other valid reason duly communicated to the customer upon request
3.6. Our company reserves the right to cancel all bets if there are radical changes in the circumstances of an event such as the length of playing time, the distance of a race, or the number of periods, etc.
3.7. Explanation of specific Betting Types:
Scorers: First, Last, Anytime Scorer
Bets apply to regular time only. Own goals (based on official authority) are omitted or count as “no Scorer” if the game has only “own goals”.
Betting First Goalscorer will be considered lost if a player never plays or comes to the pitch after the first goal of the game has been scored, except in the case of an own goal, which is ignored.
Bets on Last Goalscorer will be considered lost if a player never plays. “Player to score” applies to any player, whatever the time he entered the game.
Bets on Anytime Goalscorer, apply to any player involved in the game, regardless of the time they enter the game. Bets on Anytime goalscorer will be considered lost if a player never plays.
In case a match is abandoned but there has been at least one Scorer, bets on the First Goalscorer apply, and bets on the Last Goalscorer are void. “Anytime Goalscorer” market for this player is settled as a winner and bets on other players are void.
Head 2 Head Bets
Predict which of the participants will occupy the highest position or will have better results or more points. For these bets to stand both participants must actively participate in the event. In case the two participants achieve the exact same winning result and therefore achieve a tie, all bets are void.
Outright Bets
Predict which of the participants (3 or more) will occupy the highest position or will have better results or more points. For these bets to stand all participants must actively participate in the event.
If one or more participants will not participate in the event, the odds of the other participants are recalculated and settled with a reduction in the odds, by applying the probability of the missing participants to the rest participants and also applying the same margin.
If two or more participants achieve the exact same winning result and therefore achieve a tie, the applicable odds will be equal to the accepted odds divided by the number of the tied participants (eg with initial odds 2.70 and three tie participants the final odds will be: 2.70 ÷ 3 = 0.90), unless the official governing body chooses only one winner with an additional statistic criterion (e.g. assists).
Booking markets
A yellow card counts as one card. A red card counts as two cards. If a player gets one yellow plus a second yellow driving to a red card, this counts overall as three cards. As a result, a player cannot receive more than three cards. The settlement will be based on all available card data that appear during the normal playing time of an event. Cards shown after the final whistle will not be taken into consideration. Cards in non-playing players (players that have already been replaced, coaches, players on the bench who have not taken part in the game) are not taken under consideration.
"Player cards at least" market stands only for players of the starting lineup. If the listed player is not in the starting lineup of the match, the bets are settled as void.
Booking markets with points
A yellow card counts for 10 points and the red and the second yellow-red for 25. The second yellow for a player that leads to a red card is not counted. As a result, a player cannot receive more than 35 points. The settlement will be based on all available card data that appear during the normal playing time of an event. Cards shown after the final whistle are not taken into consideration. Cards in non-playing players (players that have already been replaced, coaches, players on the bench who have not taken part in the game) are not taken under consideration.
Corners
A corner gets counted for the relevant market settlement only in the case it has been executed. Corners won by the teams but not executed do not count for market settlement.
Intervals
The First Interval is considered the time period from 00:01 until the completion of the minute indicated as the end minute. For the avoidance of doubt, the interval of 1-15 min is considered the period from 00:01 to 15:00
The Last Interval of a time period is considered from the minute indicated until the end of the period as decided by the referee. For the avoidance of doubt, the interval of 30-45 min is considered the period from 30:01 until the end of the First Half. The interval of 75-90 min is considered the period from 75:01 until Full Time.
VAR
Any decision taken by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) which conflicts with the original decision sanctioned by the officials on the pitch (including non-decisions like allowing play to continue before reviewing the video), thus altering the understood state of the match at the time of bet placement, will result in all bets placed in the timeframe between the actual occurrence of the original incident and the referee's final decision on the incident being deemed as void, unless the odds offered on the specific bet offer are unaffected by the use of VAR or have already been accounted for in the odds offered at the time of bet acceptance. Settlement on all other unrelated bet-offers, including those determined by any play between the time of the original incident and the decision following the VAR review, which are not influenced/altered by the VAR decision will stand.
For resulting purposes, VAR reviews are to be considered as having happened at the time of the original incident for which the VAR would be eventually used even if play has not been immediately interrupted. The company reserves the right to reverse any previously settled offers where the settlement becomes inaccurate following the final referee decision, providing said decision is taken and communicated before the conclusion of the match and/or timeframe listed.
