Football

  1. All markets are based on the result at the end of full time (90 minutes of play, 2 halves of 45 minutes or 80 minutes of play, 2 halves of 40 minutes), unless specifically detailed otherwise. A match must be played completely for bets to stand, unless the market has already been determined. If a referee ends the match and the result has been determined, the match will be considered to have been played completely. Extra time and penalty shootouts count on bets for markets To Qualify, To Be Promoted, Winner etc.
  2. Extra Time and Penalty Shootouts: All bets are based on the extra time and penalty shootouts results only. The result at the end of full time (90 minutes play) does not count.
  3. First Goalscorer: Own goals do not count. If the first goal is an own goal, then bets on the first goalscorer will count on the next goal. If the only goals in the match are own goals, then the winning selection will be ‘No Goalscorer’. Bets on players that have been substituted or sent off before the first goal has been scored are losers. If a player has not entered the field of play before the first goal is scored, then all bets on this player will be void. If the first goal was scored by a player that is not quoted, then all bets on other players, subject to the conditions above, are losers. If an ‘any unquoted’ selection is offered, bets on that selection will cover all players not quoted.
  4. Last Goalscorer: Own goals do not count. If the last goal is an own goal, then bets on the last goalscorer will count for the previous goal. If the only goals in the match are own goals, then the winning selection will be ‘No Goalscorer’. All players that take part in the match will be considered as participants for last goalscorer purposes, whether on the pitch at the time of the last goal or not. If a player has not entered the field of play during the match, all bets on this player will be void. If the last goal was scored by a player that is not quoted, then all bets on other players, subject to the conditions above, are losers. If an ‘any unquoted’ selection is offered, bets on that selection will cover all players that are not quoted.
  5. Anytime Goalscorer: Own goals do not count. If a player does not enter the field of play during the match, all bets on this player will be void.
  6. Scorecasts: To win you must predict both the player that will score the first goal in the match and also the correct score at the end of full time. Bets on related outcomes for the same event are accepted at adjusted odds. If such a bet has been accepted at the full odds erroneously, it will be settled at the appropriate, altered odds for the combination. The score 0-0 and No Goalscorer is settled as a correct score single. If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, then Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score. Own goals do not count. If the first goal in the match is an own goal, then the Scorecast bet will be settled based on who scores the next goal and on the correct match score. If all goals in the match are own goals, the Scorecast bet will revert to a single Correct Score bet. If the match is abandoned after a goal has been scored and not completed in accordance with General Sport Rules, then all bets will be settled as First Goalscorer singles at the appropriate odds.
  7. Order of Goals (team): Own goals count for the side credited with the goal. If there is no goal, then ‘No Goals’ or ‘Neither’ bets will be settled as winners.
  8. Goals and Scoring Times, and Interval markets (interval result, interval goals, interval totals, interval corners etc.): For settlement purposes, the time 14:59 is counted as the 15th minute, the time 15:00 is counted as the 16th minute.
  9. Cards: Cards shown for a foul or incident during the half-time interval or after the final whistle has been blown will not count. Cards shown to non-players (e.g. managers, coaching staff, players after they have been substituted or substitutes who have not yet been used) do not count. A second yellow card awarded to the same player counts only as a Red (i.e. in a Total Yellow Cards market, a second yellow card issued to the same player will not count). If the first cards shown involve two or more players from different teams being booked/sent off following the same incident, bets on the market ‘Next Yellow/Red Card’ will be void.
  10. Corner Betting: Corners awarded but not taken will not count for settlement purposes (e.g. a corner awarded but not taken before the final whistle will not count). If a referee orders a corner to be retaken this will only count once.
  11. Manager Betting: If we offer prices on a team’s next manager, next manager to be sacked etc. and it comes to light that bets may have been placed after the decision has been made, then we reserve the right to void these bets. Manager markets will always be on an ‘others on request’ basis.
  12. Team to Win from Behind: The team must be losing at any stage during the match and have won the match at the end of full time.
  13. Team to Win to Nil: The team must win at the end of full time and not allow the opposing team to score.
  14. Goal by Header (first, last, any): Headed own goals do not count. If there are no goals in the match, ‘No’ is the winner of this market.
  15. Player to Score 2 Goals & 3 or More Goals: Bets predicting that any player must score exactly 2 or 3 or more goals respectively. Own goals do not count.
  16. Additional Time Goal: Bets predicting that any player will score a goal during additional time in either the 1st or 2nd half.
  17. Penalty Shootout Markets: All bets are based on the penalties actually taken, even if the result of the shootout is determined before the scheduled number have been taken.
  18. Substitute to Score: Own goals do not count. If there are no goals in the match, ‘No’ is the winner of this market.
  19. Total Goal Minutes: A goal scored during additional time is considered as a goal scored during the last minute of the 1st or 2nd half of regular time. 
  20. To Occur First: If neither of the two market selections has occurred during the match, bets on this market will be void.
  21. Shots on Target and Total Shots. For bet settlement purposes, goals scored count towards the Shots on Target and Total Shots statistics, while own goals do not count.
  22. Hit Post or Crossbar. When settling bets on Hit Post or Crossbar, the event is considered to have taken place if the ball hits the post or crossbar and remains in play. If the ball rebounds off the post or crossbar and hits the opposite post and/or crossbar without touching any players or the referee, it counts as one hit. A hit on the post or crossbar doesn’t count if the match was stopped before the shot, if the shot was made in breach of the rules as determined by the referee or if, after hitting the post or crossbar, the ball went out of play without touching any outfield players, the goalkeeper or the referee, or crossed the goal line and a goal was awarded.
  23. Video Assistant Referee (VAR). When settling bets on Video Assistant Referee (VAR), the event is considered to have taken place if the head referee signals for a video review (the referee draws a rectangle in the air) or personally uses the pitchside monitor. A Video Assistant Referee (VAR) event is not considered to have taken place if a ‘Goal Check’ message appears on the scoreboard, or the head referee communicates with the assistants via a headset.
  24. Medical Team. When settling bets on the medical team entering the pitch, the event is considered to have taken place if the medical team enters the pitch with the referee’s permission and provides treatment to a player. The medical team’s entry doesn’t count if treatment is provided during a half-time break or a drinks pause, or if a player is treated off the pitch behind the touchline. If the referee calls on medical teams from both sides at the same time, this counts as one entry by the medical team.
  25. For statistical markets, bets are settled based on whether the event actually took place. For example, a foul will only count towards settlement if the resulting free kick/penalty was actually taken.
