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.
Outright Betting
For all Outright and Tournament specific markets, including markets such as To Win Group / To Reach The Final / Name The Finalists, bets will be void if the scheduled number of games are not completed, unless the outcome is already determined. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect bets.
If a specific series of fixtures, stages or round (e.g. Group Phase), or a competition in its entirety is not completed for any reason, then where bets have been placed on a market after the final completed relevant fixture, bets will be void.
Abandoned, Interrupted and Postponed Matches
Postponed matches are void unless re-arranged and played within 5 days of the original scheduled game time.
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.
Match Betting
Unless otherwise stated all bets will be settled based on the score at the end of regulation time and excluding overtime if played. All match betting markets are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 60 minutes play unless otherwise stated. If the scheduled 60 minutes is not played then bets will be void, with the exception of game props where the result has already been determined.
The following markets include overtime/shootouts for settlement purposes:
To Qualify To Lift Trophy
Specifically for any competition that uses a Mercy Rule, in the event of such a Rule being called in a match, all bets will stand on the score at the time.
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 play the fixture at the away team venue then bets will stand providing the home team is still officially designated as such, otherwise bets will be void.
