RULES AND REGULATIONS
SPORTSBOOK RULES
PART A - INTRODUCTION
1. USE AND INTERPRETATION
The Betfair Sportsbook Rules and Regulations ("Sportsbook Rules") are part
of Betfair's terms and conditions.
The Sportsbook Rules apply in relation to the markets offered and bets
placed on the Betfair Sportsbook and on Betfair's "Fixed Odds" and
"˜Multiples" products (although they do not apply in relation to any bets
placed on Australian Multis, Tote Extra and Tote & Exotics markets). The
Sportsbook Rules do not apply to markets offered or bets placed on the
Betfair Exchange.
The Sportsbook Rules consist of the following:
* This Introduction section (Part A);
* The General Rules (set out in Part B below); and
* The Specific Sports Rules (set out in Part C below â€" these apply to
certain sports and to financial markets).
The General Rules apply to all bets on the aforementioned products unless
stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules. If there is any inconsistency
between the Specific Sports Rules and the General Rules, the Specific Sports
Rules shall prevail. The General Rules will apply in respect of any category
of bets or markets not referred to in the Specific Sports Rules (for
example, special bets or beach volleyball).
Please note that there are separate Rules and Regulations for each of our
Exchange and Sportsbook products. The rules governing how markFirst
team/last team to score and ets are offered, managed and/or settled are not
the same for every market on each product. In certain circumstances, a bet
that is settled as a winner on one product may be settled as a loser on the
other product (and vice versa). Additionally, different settlement rules may
apply so that, for example, bets that are a winner on one product may be
settled as a dead heat or be voided on the other product. Customers must
ensure that they familiarise themselves with the relevant rules that apply
to the bets that they place on Betfair's products.
2. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
Betfair customers should make themselves aware of all of the Sportsbook
Rules affecting any market on which they wish to place a bet.
3. CUSTOMER BETTING DISPUTES & IBAS (INDEPENDENT BETTING ADJUDICATION SERVICE)
Any Betfair customer who has any concerns or questions regarding the Betfair
rules or regarding the settlement of any Betfair market should refer to our
Dispute Resolution policy.
PART B — GENERAL RULES
1. IN-PLAY BETTING
1. 1.1GENERAL
* For everything other than horseracing and greyhound racing, if a
market is not scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at the relevant time, then:
* if the event has a scheduled 'off' time, all bets matched after that
scheduled off time will be void; and
* if the event does not have a scheduled 'off' time, Betfair will use
its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual 'off'
and all bets after the time of the 'off' determined by Betfair will
be void.
* For horseracing and greyhound racing, if a market is not scheduled to
be turned in-play but Betfair fails to suspend the market at the
relevant time, then all bets matched after the official 'off' time
will be void.
* Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to suspend in-play
markets at the start of and at the end of the event. However, Betfair
does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended at the relevant
time.
* Betfair reserves the right at its absolute discretion to part-suspend
or fully suspend outcomes/selections in a Sportsbook or Fixed Odds
market that has been turned in-play.
* Betfair customers are responsible for managing their in-play bets at
all times.
* The availability of an in-play market on our Exchange product for a
particular event does not necessarily mean that there will be an
equivalent in-play market for the same event on our Sportsbook or
Fixed Odds product.
* For the purposes of in-play betting, customers should be aware that
transmissions described as "live" by some broadcasters may actually be
delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on
the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data. Please
also be aware that, for operational reasons, bet requests made in-play
may take slightly longer to process.
* If Betfair accepts a bet on a market for which the outcome has already
been determined, then that bet shall be deemed void (and no winnings
shall be payable in respect of it).
2. 1.2ALL MARKETS OTHER THAN FOOTBALL MARKETS — NOT SUSPENDING AT THE TIME
OF THE "OFF"
* In relation to markets which are scheduled to be turned in-play,
Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets
in-play at the time of the 'off'. However, Betfair does not guarantee
that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at the time of
the 'off'.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at the time of the 'off' and the market is not
turned in-play at any time during the event, all bets after the
scheduled time of the 'off' will be void (in the case of horseracing
and greyhound racing, bets will be void from the official rather than
the scheduled 'off' time) UNLESS it can be established that the bet
was placed before the official off time or the actual time of the off.
If the event does not have a scheduled 'off' time, Betfair will use
its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual 'off'
and all bets after the time of the 'off' determined by Betfair will be
void.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at the time of the 'off', but the market is turned
in-play at a later time during the event, all bets after the time of
the 'off' will stand. HOWEVER the price may be adjusted by Betfair and
the bets may be settled in accordance with the correct price at the
time on which the relevant bet was placed (such price to be determined
by Betfair, acting reasonably).
3. 1.3FOOTBALL MARKETS — NOT SUSPENDING AT KICK-OFF
* In relation to soccer markets that are scheduled to be turned in-play,
Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets
in-play at kick-off and to suspend such markets on the occurrence of a
Material Event (see definition of "Material Event" below). However,
Betfair does not guarantee that markets will be suspended and turned
in-play at kick-off.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at kick-off and the market is not turned in-play at
any time during the match, all bets matched after the scheduled time
of the kick-off will be void UNLESS it can be established that the bet
was actually placed before the actual time of kick-off.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at kick-off, but the market is turned in-play at a
later time during the match, all bets matched after the scheduled time
of the kick-off will stand. HOWEVER the price may be adjusted by
Betfair and the bets may be settled in accordance with the correct
price at the time on which the relevant bet was placed (such price to
be determined by Betfair, acting reasonably).
* For the purpose of this rule, a "Material Event" shall mean a goal
being scored, a penalty being awarded or a player being sent off.
2. RESULTS AND MARKET SETTLEMENT
1. 2.1GENERAL
* Where the Specific Sports Rules do not specify how and on what basis a
market will be settled, markets will be settled on the official result
of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent
disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is
announced within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant
market in order to correct an error in reporting the result).
* If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the
result will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using
information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new
information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of
settlement, then Betfair shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
1. whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of
this new information; or
2. whether or not to wait for further information before deciding
whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where Betfair
has announced that it is waiting for further information, any
information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours
after a market has been settled shall not be considered by Betfair
(regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a
different result).
* In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result,
Betfair reserves the right to suspend settlement of any market for an
unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to the
reasonable satisfaction of Betfair. Betfair reserves the right to void
any market if the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved
to Betfair's reasonable satisfaction.
2. 2.2RESETTLEMENTS
* Markets are generally settled shortly after the end of the event in
question. Betfair may settle (or part-settle) some markets before the
official result is declared (or may increase a customer's "˜available
to bet" balance by the minimum potential winnings of that customer on
a given market) purely as a customer service benefit. However, Betfair
reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if:
1. the official result is different to the result on which Betfair
initially settled the market (for example, a horseracing result
being changed by the relevant governing body shortly after a race);
or
2. if the whole market is eventually voided (e.g. for an abandoned
event).
* Betfair reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a market if a
market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error).
* If Betfair resettles a market, this may lead to amendments being made
to a customer's balance to reflect changes in market settlement.
3. 2.3NON-RUNNERS
* Unless stated otherwise, sports bets are accepted on a "non-runner, no
bet" basis (unless stated otherwise). This means that stakes will be
refunded on a player, team or other competitor that is withdrawn prior
to the start of an event. If you have placed a bet on a sporting event
run on a "non-runner, no bet" basis and a player, team or other
competitor (on which you did not place your bet) is withdrawn,
suspended or disqualified from that event, we may apply the equivalent
to Tattersalls' Rule 4(c) to your winnings (based on the price of the
player, team or other competitor that is withdrawn).
* Where specified, certain markets will be offered on an "all-in compete
or not" basis. This means that, if a player, team or other competitor
is withdrawn from an event (whether he, she or it pulls out of the
event, is suspended or disqualified from it or otherwise) before he,
she or it has taken part in the event, then any bet placed on that
player, team or competitor (as applicable) will be deemed a losing
bet.
* If an event is specified as "fixed draw" and a team, player or other
competitor is withdrawn, suspended or disqualified from that event, we
reserve the right to settle any bets on the subsequent prices once the
market has been revised without the withdrawn team/player.
* If a player, team or other competitor has taken any part in a sporting
event once it has officially started and then fails to complete that
event for any reason, any bet placed on that player, team or other
competitor will be deemed live (i.e. bets on that player, team or
other competitor will not be voided).
4. 2.4SELECTIONS NOT OFFERED
* Betfair endeavours to keep its markets updated at all times (such that
potential winning selections for each market are always offered).
However, should the team/individual/participant which ultimately wins
be unavailable for any reason, bets on other selections in the
applicable market will stand (and will be settled in accordance with
these, and any other applicable, settlement rules).
3. ABANDONMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules. However, where a market has no rules in the Specific
Sports Rules in relation to an abandonment, cancellation and/or
postponement the following shall apply.
* In relation to any match, fixture, game, individual event, race or
similar: If the event is not completed within three days after the
scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will
be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally
determined.
* In relation to any tournament, competition or similar: If the event is
not completed within 24 hours following the scheduled completion date of
the event, then any markets relating to the event will be settled in
accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body,
providing such a decision is given within 90 days after the scheduled
completion date. If no official ruling is announced in this 90 day
period, then bets on any market relating to this event will be void,
except for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally
determined. If a market is to be voided but has been part-settled as a
courtesy to Betfair customers, then such part-settled bets will be
reversed and all bets on the market will be void.
* If there is no further sporting action in any market that does not
contain the selection ˜"draw" or ˜"tie", all bets placed after this
conclusion of action will be voided.
* Betfair will decide (acting reasonably) whether a market relates to a
match (or similar) or a tournament (or similar). However, by way of
example, the following shall apply:
1. Europa League outright = tournament;
2. Champions League Group outright = tournament;
3. Top Premiership goalscorer = tournament;
4. 72-hole Golf Match bet = match;
5. Ryder Cup outright = tournament;
6. Golf tournament outright = tournament;
7. Tennis Tournament outright = tournament;
8. 5-day Cricket Test Match = match;
9. Ashes Series outright winner = tournament;
10. Motor Race (e.g. Grand Prix) = match.
4. CHANGE OF VENUE
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules. However, if change of venue is not dealt with in the
Specific Sports Rules then the following shall apply:
* For any team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after a bet is
placed, all bets will be void only if the new venue is a home ground of
the original away team (or in the case of international matches, only if
the venue changes to a venue in a different country).
* For all categories or markets other than team sports: if the scheduled
venue is changed after a bet is placed, all bets will stand.
* If there is a change in the type of scheduled surface (e.g. a hockey
match switching from grass to astro-turf) after a bet is placed, all bets
will stand.
5. PERIODS OF TIME
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules
then the following shall apply.
* If the scheduled duration of an event is changed after a bet is placed
but before the start of the event, then all bets will be void.
* Some markets refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event
(e.g. time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time
after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at
the end of the regular time period. For example, if a goal is scored in
first half stoppage-time in a soccer match it will be deemed to have
occurred on 45 minutes.
* All bets apply to the relevant full "regular time" period including
stoppage time. Any extra-time and/or penalty shoot-out is not included.
* References within these Rules and Regulations to a particular number of
"days" shall mean the end of the day local time after the expiry of the
specified number of days. For example, if a rugby match is scheduled for
the 1st of December, then the rule that allows the match to be completed
within three days after the scheduled completion date (see Paragraph 3
above) would mean that the deadline for completion of that match would be
23.59:59 on the 4th of December.
6. "TO QUALIFY" MARKETS
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules
then the following shall apply.
* Any 'to qualify' market (e.g. "to reach the final" markets) will be
determined by the competitor or team that progresses, whether or not they
take part in the next round or event for which they have qualified.
Markets will be settled after the qualifying stage and any subsequent
disqualification or amendment to the result will not count.
7. DEAD HEATS
* Unless stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules the Dead Heat Rule
applies to bets on a market where there are more winners than expected.
* Dead heat is a term that describes when two or more selections in an
event tie. If a "dead-heat" between two selections is declared on any
event, half the stake is applied to the selection at full odds and the
other half is lost. If more than two "dead-heats" are declared, the stake
is proportioned accordingly.
8. ERRORS
* Betfair makes every effort to ensure that it does not make any errors
when accepting bets. However, if as a result of technical or system
problems or human error, a bet is accepted that is at odds (which
includes handicap provisions or similar) and/or is on terms that are
either:
1. materially different from those available in the general betting
market at the time the bet was made; or
2. clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time
the bet was made including, in either case, because the bet was placed
after the start of an event, because the market was not displaying or
reflecting in-play status, or because of any other reason, then all
bets will stand HOWEVER Betfair will settle winning bets at the
‘correct price’.
* o In the event "each way" is offered in a market when the pricing of the
market clearly indicates that it should not have been, Betfair reserves
the right to settle this bet as "win only". Should the selection be part
of an Each Way multiple, the entire multiple will be settled "win only".
* The "correct price" will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably).
9. HANDICAP MARKETS
* Unless stated otherwise in any rules relating to specific sports,
handicap markets are determined by adjusting the score of the selected
team by the applicable handicap which is offered in respect of that team.
For example, if Team A + 10 is selected, 10 points will, for settlement
purposes, be added to the score of Team A. Where the draw is selected in
a handicap market, the relevant bet will be determined by adjusting the
home team’s score by the applicable handicap (for example, if draw - 6 is
offered, 6 points will, for settlement purposes, be deducted from the
home team’s final score and if, following such deduction, both teams’
scores are the same, the bet will be deemed to have been successful).
* Where a blatant error is made in handicap set up i.e. handicap reads as -
instead of + and vice versa, on any of our events, either in Live Betting
or before the start, - we reserve the right to settle bets at the correct
handicap at the time at which the bet was placed.
* Where only handicap betting is available, the bet will be settled as a
handicap bet whether selected or not.
10. MAXIMUM WINNINGS
* For all events listed below, the maximum payout limits apply on a per day
basis. If you place a bet that exceeds the applicable limits for a
particular event, the relevant maximum payouts will still apply.
* The maximum payout limits refer to the total returns on your bets.
* The maximum payout limits apply to any one customer or group of customers
acting together, backing the same combination of selections, regardless
of whether or not such bets are struck separately, at a range of
different prices, on different days and through a number of different
accounts. If Betfair believes that a number of bets have been placed in
this way, the total payment of all those bets combined will be limited to
one single maximum payout.
* The maximum payouts shown below are shown in sterling. If bets are placed
in another currency, the maximum payout will be converted using the
applicable exchange rate on the day of settlement of the bets, save for
Euros where the maximum payout will be the same as the amount stated in
sterling. The maximum payout for "Best Odds Guaranteed" is £1,000 per
day.
* The following maximum payout limits will apply to the events shown
(please note, if a multiple bet has been placed which involves events
with different maximum payout limits, the lowest applicable maximum
payout limit will apply to the whole of your multiple bet - for example,
if you place a multiple bet on English Premier League football matches
and on a golf tournament, your winnings will be capped at £100,000 and
not £1,000,000).
* HORSE RACING
* We pay double result on all horse racing selections running in Ireland
and the UK which are covered in Full Service. Double result/first past
the post bets are subject to the maximum payout limits set out in the
table below (Note: applies only to meetings covered by Full Service).
* The below limits apply even where a customer has taken prices.
* The maximum payment to any one customer betting on the Tote via
Dial-a-Bet in respect of any one day’s UK Jackpot or Placepot bets is
£50,000 and £10,000 for Quadpots. Quadpots are also subject to a
maximum payment of twice the total Tote pool, or twice the SP place
accumulator returns, whichever is the lesser. Where we believe the Tote
return has been affected by rigging we reserve the right to settle all
Tote bets at the returned SP or its place equivalent.
* Maximum Payout Limits for all sports are listed below:

* Overall Maximum Daily Payout Limit: Subject to any lower limits that may
apply in respect of any particular event (as set out above), the overall
maximum daily payout limit to any customer for all winning bets placed on
the Sportsbook, Fixed Odds and Multiples products combined is £1,000,000
(or the currency equivalent). If you place winning bets on those products
that exceed this daily limit, your winnings will be reduced to £1,000,000
and the remainder of your winnings in excess of £1,000,000 will be
forfeited by you.
11. MULTIPLES
* Betfair currently offers two types of multiple bet: "˜Fixed Odds
Multiples" and 'Same Game Multiples'. These Sportsbook Rules only apply
to Betfair’s ‘Fixed Odds Multiples’.
* A multiple bet consists of a number of legs. A leg is defined as one or
more chosen selection in any individual event market.
* Betfair reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain
multiple bets or to scale back stakes.
* All multiple bets placed are subject to the Sportsbook Rules that apply
to each individual sport that relates to any leg of any multiple bet.
* If any selection in any leg is a non-runner or otherwise void under the
Sportsbook Rules (e.g. an abandoned match) then all bets on that
individual leg will be void and the Fixed Odds Multiple bet shall be
adjusted accordingly. For example a treble including one void leg will
become a double. If that voided legs mean that an individual bet within a
multiple becomes a single bet, then this single bet will stand.
* Multiple bets combining different selections within the same event are
not accepted when there are related contingencies (i.e. where the outcome
of one event is likely to affect the odds on the outcome of another
event) except where those selections are chosen as part of a Same Game
Multiple. The rejection of related contingency bets may happen
automatically at the bet placement stage. However, if such a bet is taken
in error, Betfair may settle the individual bet combinations which
include two or more of the related contingency selections, as single
bets.
* Each-way and win-only markets cannot be combined as part of a multiple
bet. Should Betfair accept a multiple bet of this type in error, all
each-way bets which are included within the multiple will be classed as
win-only bets for settlement purposes.
* ‘Lucky 15/31/63’ bet types - this multiple bet includes singles and
upwards on 4, 5 or 6 selections respectively. The following bullet-points
set out the number of bets that each Lucky bet type contains:
* Lucky 15 (4 selections) comprises: 4 Singles, 6 Doubles, 4 Trebles and
1 Fourfold.
* Lucky 31 (5 selections) comprises: 5 Singles, 10 Doubles, 10 Trebles,
5 Fourfolds and 1 Fivefold.
* Lucky 63 (6 selections) comprises: 6 Singles, 15 Doubles, 20 Trebles,
15 Fourfolds, 6 Fivefolds and 1 Sixfold.
12. CASH OUT
* Cash Out is a feature which is offered on various singles and multiples
Sportsbook bets. Cash Out allows you to amend your original bet and lock
in a profit or a loss by settling your bet (or a portion of your bet)
early, without having to wait for the event to finish.
* Your request to Cash Out is not guaranteed to be accepted and may be
unsuccessful if, for example, the market suspends the odds move before
your request has been processed, due to an unforeseen technical issue, or
if the third-party provider who covers the sporting event has not been
able to continue coverage as originally agreed. Betfair reserve the right
to suspend or disable the Cash Out feature at any time. Betfair cannot
guarantee the availability at all times of the Cash Out functionality,
even where the functionality has been advertised in connection with a
particular event. Please be aware and accept, therefore, that unless Cash
Out is available and successfully exercised in connection with a
particular Bet, your initial Bet will, unless otherwise provided in
accordance with the Terms of Use, stand as originally placed.
* If your Cash Out request is successful, a "success" message will be shown
and your bet (or the relevant portion of your bet) will be settled
immediately and any winnings returned to your account equal to the amount
shown on the Cash Out button. Note that this includes the original stake
(or portion of your stake) and the total amount returned to your account
will be the amount shown on the Cash Out button. The For a full Cash Out,
the bet is settled and any subsequent events will have no impact on the
amount returned to your account. For a partial Cash Out, part of your bet
is settled and any subsequent events will only impact on the portion of
your bet which you have not Cashed Out.
* Live Betting Rules apply on all live bets where Cash Out is available.
* Using Cash Out may mean you will opt out of and no longer be eligible for
a particular promotion (e.g. Acca Insurance). See the terms and
conditions of the promotion for further details.
* On bets when a free bet has been used, cash out will be unavailable until
the value of your cash out is higher than the value of your free bet.
* Betfair reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a Cash Out if the
bet or a market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical
error). If Betfair resettles a bet, this may lead to amendments being
made to a customer's balance to reflect changes in bet settlement.
* For horse racing, Betfair reserves the right to cancel a cash-out
settlement when the selection that has been cashed out on becomes a
non-runner subsequent to the bet being cashed out. In this occurrence as
the bet placed was on a non-runner the bet will be void and the bet stake
will be refunded.
13. EDGE
13.1 ACCA EDGE
* Applies to Sportsbook (fixed odds) accumulator bets only.
* Not available for each-way accumulators, SP accumulators, bets placed
with free bet tokens or permutation multiples (Yankee, Lucky 15 etc.).
* Stakes are returned as cash.
* Acca Edge must be ticked at the time of bet placement and you must
receive confirmation from Betfair that it has been "applied".
* You acknowledge that the odds with Acca Edge may be different from the
odds of the bet without Acca Edge.
* Acca Edge will become void if any leg is settled void or any leg is
subject to a Dead Heat Reduction. In such circumstances the bet will
revert to a normal accumulator bet without the Acca Edge and be priced
based on the original leg prices taken at bet placement.
* Bets placed with Acca Edge are available for Cash Out, however any Cash
Out (partial or full) will render Acca Edge void.
* Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Acca Edge feature
at any time.
13.2 EACH WAY EDGE
* Applies to Sportsbook (fixed odds) Each Way singles only on selected
(determined by Betfair trading team) Horse Races.
* Not available for multiples or SP singles.
* At the time of placement â€" the odds and place terms must be updated in
the betslip, highlighted in yellow, and the Each Way Edge applied
message in view. Successful placement of the bet with Each Way Edge
applied will be included in the bet receipt.
* You acknowledge that the odds and place terms with Each Way Edge applied
vary from the odds of the bet without Each Way Edge.
* Bets placed with Each Way Edge are eligible for Cash Out if the Cash Out
icon is shown, subject to the standard Cash Out terms.
* If the number of non-runners results in a change in the standard each
way terms, then the terms of the Each Way Edge bet will also be altered
to reflect this. In summary:.
* An EW Edge bet is an offset to normal EW terms, so if the EW terms on
the market change after a withdrawal, the EW Edge terms can change
too.
* E.g. if there is a market with 3 places @ 1/5 and EW Edge is used
to take 4 places. If the market changes to 2 places @ 1/4 after a
withdrawal, the EW Edge bet has terms of 3 places @ 1/4
* If the market place fraction changes (e.g. market changes from 3 @
1/4 to 3 @ 1/5) then the fraction changes for EW Edge bets too
* If an EW Edge bet reverts to Win only (e.g. -1 offset on a 3 place
market when the market changes to 2 places), the price after EW Edge
will still be honoured (but with rule4s applied if relevant).
* If the market drops to Win only, positive EW Edges are still EW bets.
* Bets placed with Each Way Edge applied are not eligible for Best Odds
Guaranteed.
* Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Each Way Edge
feature at any time.
14. ENHANCED PRICE BETS
* Any bets for which we offer enhanced prices will be settled on the basis
of normal time and injury time (i.e. excluding any extra time, penalties
or similar) unless otherwise specified in the relevant bet or bet rules
* Unless otherwise stated, bets for which enhanced prices are offered will
be governed by Betfair's usual settlement rules.
* We reserve the right to void any bet with an enhanced price if: (i) the
enhanced price was intended to apply to pre-match bets only and (ii) we
erroneously accepted the bet, at its enhanced price, after the relevant
event started.
* In the event of a clear and obvious wording or pricing error for an
enhanced bet, we will (in accordance with our usual settlement rules) aim
to settle the bet at the price at which we intended to offer, and/or
pursuant to the wording which was clearly intended to relate to, the
relevant bet
* For Oddsboosts that include multiple players, in the event that one or
more player(s) listed does not take part, we reserve the right to settle
the bet based on the odds of the remaining players.
* For Oddsboosts that include multiple Matches, in the event that one or
more Match(es) doesn’t take place, we reserve the right to settle the bet
based on the odds of the remaining Matches
15. COMPETITORS WITH THE SAME NAME
* Where there is more than one competitor with the same surname and the
selection has not been identified by either first name, team (where
applicable), or qualifying price the competitor with the lowest
advertised price will be taken as the selection.
* In the event of one or more competitors being quoted at the lowest
advertised price then the stake will be divided between them.
16. LATE BETS
* Bets are accepted up to the off-time of the event or a pre-determined
time whichever the is earlier. Should there be a dispute over the
off-time of an event/market where an official starting time is not given
by that sports governing body, then the time that Betfair determines the
event to have started will govern settlement of all bets.
* Any bet inadvertently accepted after the off-time, pre-determined time or
at any stage where the customer could have any indication of the outcome
of the event will be settled at the correct price at the time the bet was
placed.
* The correct price will be determined by Betfair’s trading department.
* Bets placed on events where the final event result has already been
determined will be voided.
17. CUP/TROPHY COMPETITIONS
* Unless we advertise other terms, we will settle outright betting on the
player or team that lifts the trophy.
18. OUTRIGHT, TOURNAMENT AND MATCH BETTING
* When odds for outright, tournament, match and handicap betting are
advertised, and the customer hasn't indicated clearly their intended
market, the bet will be settled on the match betting on the next match to
happen involving that team.
* Where the price taken indicates the customer's intended market, this will
govern the settlement.
19. RIGGING/FIXING SUSPICIONS
* Where there is evidence of price, race, match or event rigging, we
reserve the right to withhold payment, pending the outcome of any
subsequent investigation and ultimately to declare bets on that event as
void.
* Where evidence of rigging exists or where there is evidence of a series
of bets each containing the same selection(s), having been placed by or
for the same individual or by a syndicate of individuals, we reserve the
right to require claims for payment to be submitted in writing to our
customer service department.
* In order to prevent fraud, cheating and money laundering we may disclose
your information and betting and gaming history to third parties
including, but not limited to, any relevant regulator, gaming and
sporting bodies, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies or
any other body that deals with the investigation of alleged offences.
* Customers should also familiarise themselves with the “Suspicious
Betting” provisions of the Betfair Terms and Conditions in this respect.
20. SCORE DISPLAYS
* Although the current score, time elapsed, video and other data provided
on this site is sourced from "live" feeds provided by third parties, you
should be aware that this data may be subject to a time delay and/or be
inaccurate. If you rely on this data to place bets, you do so entirely
at your own risk. The Betfair rules for bet settlement still apply and as
such we accept no liability for any discrepancies between information
displayed here and how a bet is settled.
21. INJURIES
* In the event of any injury news being announced in a market where the
number of games or price of runners remaining can significantly affect
the prices, e.g. top goalscorer/top runscorer, we reserve the right to
either void bets, apply a Rule 4 deduction or revert bets to the next
price offered after the market has been revised due to that injury news.
* This could apply to bets placed between the release of the injury news
and the revision of the market in question.
22. MISCELLANEOUS

Sportsbook bets, or to scale back the stakes.

zone in which the event takes place. For example, a reference to the

2. 4.2MARKET SPECIFIC RULES
* Correct Score:
* In the event of a disqualification or retirement from a match or an
abandonment of a match, all bets on the correct score of that match
will be voided.
* If, during a given match, there is a change to the total number of
sets to be played, all bets on the correct score of that match will
be voided (but all other markets involving the relevant match will
stand).
* For correct score markets, the number first appearing in the score
is the score of the home player and the number appearing second is
the score of the away player. For example, bets placed on "2-1" are
bets on the home player to win by two games to one and bets placed
on "1-2" are bets on the away player to win by two games to one.
* Match Handicap Betting, Match Point Handicap, Total Games & Total
Points:
* Following either a disqualification or retirement from a match or an
abandonment of a match, all bets on these markets will be voided
other than those in respect of which markets have already been
unequivocally determined. For example, should a match be abandoned
in the 3rd game in a best of 3 game match, then bets on Over 2 /
Under 3 Games will be settled as winners/losers accordingly (since
the match has gone to a decisive 3rd game).
* Current Game Winner, Game Handicap Betting, Current Game Correct Score,
Current Game Total Points, Current Game Extra Points, Current Game Lead
after x Pts & Current Game Race to x Pts:
* Following either a disqualification or retirement from a match or an
abandonment of a match during the game on which the applicable bet
was placed, all bets on these markets will be void other than those
in respect of which markets have already been unequivocally
determined. For example, should a game be abandoned at 20-15 then
bets on Over/Under 35.5 points or fewer in that game will be settled
as winners/losers respectively (since, at the point of abandonment,
any conclusion to the game would necessarily have to have had at
least 36 points).
5. BANDY
* All bets settled on 90 minutes play unless otherwise stated. If 90 minutes
are not completed all bets will be deemed void unless an official result
is declared.
* The settlement of the markets for each match is based on the results
provided by the organizing federation.
* In the event of a match not taking place, bets of this match are deemed
void.
* Should a match be abandoned all markets will be voided unless the outcome
has been unequivocally decided.

1. 6.1GENERAL RULES
* These rules apply to Major League Baseball, NCAA and World baseball.
* All settlements are based on the results and statistics provided by the
relevant league's governing body (e.g. Major League Baseball).
* Should a game not start on the day of the officially listed start time,
as stated by the relevant governing body, due to a rain delay or other
similar events, all bets will be void. The day of the event will be
considered the day according to the time zone in which the game was
scheduled to be played.
* 7 Innings Games: For MLB games scheduled to be only 7 innings at its
commencement, normal baseball rules apply with all markets settled as
per MLB.com. Where a 7 innings game is shortened after the first pitch
(i.e. called due to rain) the following settlement rules will apply:
* Moneyline settled per the “4.5 Innings Rule”
* Markets unequivocally determined before the game was shortened will
be settled as already determined (example: 1st innings total runs
scored if game gets called in 3rd innings)
* All other markets (including but not limited to Run Line and Total
Runs) will be void unless a minimum of 7 innings’ play, or 6.5
innings should the home team be leading at the commencement of the
bottom of the 7th innings.
* Applies to MLB and NCAA only: In the event of a shortened game, results
are official after (and, unless otherwise stated, bets shall be settled
subject to the completion of) 5 innings of play, or 4.5 innings should
the home team be leading at the commencement of the bottom of the 5th
innings (the “4.5 Innings Rule”). Should a game be called, if the
result is official in accordance with this rule, the winner will be
determined by the score after the last full inning completed (unless
the home team score to tie, or take the lead in the bottom half of the
inning, in which circumstances the winner is determined by the score at
the time the game is suspended). For World Baseball only: In the event
of a shortened game, all undecided markets will be void if the match
does not resume on the same day regardless of the point of abandonment.
* Notwithstanding the above, in certain circumstances where we so
specify, results will only be official after (and bets shall be settled
subject to the completion of) a minimum of 9 innings play, or 8.5
innings should the home team be leading at the commencement of the
bottom of the 9th innings (the 8.5 Innings Rule).
* For the purposes of live betting, the 8.5 Innings Rule shall
automatically apply unless stated otherwise - e.g. in the section below
entitled Overview of Specific Baseball Markets (which shall take
precedence over this section). However, should a game be shortened due
to bad weather or similar, live betting markets which have been
unequivocally determined will stand (irrespective of the 8.5 Innings
Rule or whether or not an official league result has been confirmed).
* Extra innings, where applicable, count for settlement purposes.
* If a game is suspended and continues to a conclusion the following day
(local time), then all bets will stand. In the case of a suspended MLB
Playoff games, all bets will stand until the game is completed.
* Save where otherwise specified, the scheduled starting pitchers (the
Listed Pitchers) must start for bets to stand. In the event there is a
double pitching change, where a pitcher is changed but then
re-instated, it will be treated as a normal pitching change.
* For settlement purposes, the team listed second in the event name is
considered to be the home team (even if the game takes place at a
neutral venue). Example: "Team A v Team B" or "Team A At Team B", Team
B is the home team.
* All outright markets include playoffs where applicable.
* Should a mercy rule be applied, for settlement purposes, markets (for
both pre-match and live betting) will be settled according to the
result as determined by the application of the mercy rule.
* The scheduled starting pitchers (“Listed Pitchers”) are not relevant to
any Baseball markets and bets on such markets will stand regardless of
whether any Listed Pitchers do in fact start.
* Should a game end in a tie and no extra innings are played, Money Line
betting will be void with all other markets settled as per the result.
* For double-headers in the Australian Baseball League (ABL), each of the
first games are 7 inning games and are priced and settled accordingly.
If the first game of a double header goes to extra innings, causing the
second game to be shortened to less than the scheduled 9 innings as a
result, all bets on the run line and total market for the second game
will be void. All head to head bets on the second game will still
stand.

8. BIG BROTHER, CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE AND OTHER NOVELTY MARKETS
BIG BROTHER
* Should a contestant be evicted from the house, removed by Big Brother or
leave of their own accord, they will be settled as a loser. Should that
same contestant be re-admitted at a later date, they will be treated as a
new contestant and previous bets will not stand.
* Eviction markets apply only to official Channel Four/Five evictions. Any
contestant leaving the house of their own accord or removed by Big Brother
will not be treated as the next evictee for betting purposes. Betfair
reserves the right to void all bets placed on an eviction market should
the initial line up for eviction be changed. Others may be added to the
market at any time.
* Betfair is not responsible for the way in which Channel Four/Five conduct
the show. Any late changes to methods of eviction, addition or subtraction
of housemates or any other factors affecting the market are beyond our
control.
* Any disputes concerning any market will be referred to Channel Four/Five
for clarification; their decision will be treated as final.
* Betfair reserves the right to suspend any market at any time.
* For the purposes of our markets, we will define an eviction as the
permanent expulsion from the house of contestant or contestants.
Therefore, fake evictions will not be considered as winners. Therefore any
bets placed on a stipulated eviction (e.g. first) will run until a person
is seen to egress the house with no immediate prospect of return.
* Betfair reserves the right to apply a dead heat reduction on any event
where more winners are declared than were originally specified.
* In the event of the series been cancelled before an official winner is
declared, bets will be settled as a dead heat between the contestants that
have not been eliminated. Outright bets on contestants already eliminated
will be treated as losing selections.
CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE
* Bets placed on the next Christmas number one will be settled on the basis
of the UK Chart declared by the Official Charts Company.
* For the purpose of this market, featuring artists do not count. Whether or
not a song is considered to be a duet or, alternatively, a song which
includes a "featuring artist" will be determined by officialcharts.com. In
particular, it will be determinative if officialcharts.com includes the
word "featuring" or the abbreviation "FT" (or similar) before an artist's
name. Where a duet has a realistic prospect of achieving the Christmas
number 1 spot, we will endeavour to offer a selection in respect of that
duet (for example, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith).
* Where multiple versions of a particular artist's song include different
secondary artists (and those multiple versions are considered by the
Official Charts Company to represent a single entry), it is only the
primary artist that will be deemed, for settlement purposes, to be
included in the entry. For example, the official Christmas Number One in
2017 was Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" (albeit that such song achieved its
placing as a consequence of separate versions which included Beyonce and
Andrea Bocelli). In such circumstances, Ed Sheeran alone would be
considered to have achieved the official Christmas number one.
OTHER NOVELTY MARKETS
* TV Specials: If a winner is not declared for the series in question then
the outright markets will be made void.
* The betting rules for other novelty markets are often very specific and
will usually be displayed on the same page as the betting market in
question.
* Streaming Specials: If a winner is not declared for the event in question
then the markets will be voided.
KING COMPETITIONS
* Bets will be settled according to the results provided by the official
website of the organiser of the championship in question. In addition, the
events that make up this competition are subject to rules and time
regulations that are different from those of regular football events. The
matches will consist of two halves of 20 minutes each and in the event of
a draw after 40 minutes, a penalty shoot-out will decide the winning team.
* In the case of cancelled or postponed events, all markets that do not have
a specific result will be void.
* Markets Offered:
* 1X2 (Result of the match)
* This market will be settled at the end of regulation time of this
competition
* Winner of the tournament:
* Predict which team will finish first at the end of the tournament.

* If a match starts but is not completed the player progressing to the
next round is deemed to have won.
* If the correct number of games/sets is not completed set betting will be
void.
* BOXING AND MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
10.1 BOXING
* General Boxing Rules:
* Results will be based on the official result at ringside with the
exception of a technical draw (the rules for which are set out in
the "Technical Decision / Draw" section below).
* Results are not official for betting purposes until verified by
officials at the fighting venue. If for some reason official
verification does not occur at the fighting venue, then (and only
then) will reference will be made to www.boxrec.com for settlement
purposes. Should an official or unofficial sanctioning body overturn
a fight decision based on an appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug
testing result or any other fighter sanction, this will not be
recognised for betting purposes.
* Should a contest be postponed, bets will stand if the rescheduled
event occurs within 48 hours. Otherwise, all bets in relation to the
contest will be void.
* In the event of a 'no contest' being declared, all bets will be made
void, with the exception of selections where the outcome has already
been unequivocally determined.
* Should there be a substitution for one of the boxers, bets on the
original contest will be void, except in a tournament based
competition where the equivalent of a Tattersalls Rule 4 deduction
may apply (see Prize Fighter below)
* Should there be a change in the manner in which a contest is
advertised (e.g. a contest changes from a title fight to a non-title
fight) bets will stand.
* Match Betting markets where no draw selection is offered will be
made void if the match ends in a draw.
* In fights where the scheduled number of rounds changes, all bets
will stand unless the result would be automatically determined by
the change in the number of rounds (in which case, such bets will be
voided). For example, if a fight gets changed from a 12 to a 10
round fight, bets on rounds 11 and 12 will be void.
* Exhibition Fights – if a result is declared in the ring, all bets
will be settled as per the result announced. If there is no result
declared then all bets will be void.
* The statistics provided by Compubox will be used to determine the
settlement of any bets which are placed on: (i) a given fighter to
achieve a certain number of punches landed, (ii) a given fighter to
land a certain number of Jabs (iii) a given fighter to land a
certain number of Power Punches and (iv) a given fighter to land a
certain number of Body Punches.
* Round Betting/Group Round Betting/Alternative Group Round Betting
* This market is betting on the round/rounds in which the result of
the fight will be determined, it is not betting on named fighters to
win the round/rounds on the judge’s scorecards.
* Where a boxer fails to answer the bell for the next round, his
opponent shall be deemed to have won the contest in the previous
round.
* Subject to the following rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled
number of rounds be changed before the commencement of the contest,
all round by round bets will stand.
* Notwithstanding the above rule, should, for any reason, the
scheduled number of rounds be decreased before the commencement of
the contest, all round by round bets on the dropped rounds will be
void. Bets on all the remaining rounds will stand.
* Where a contest finishes before the completion of the scheduled
number of rounds and, for any reason, the winner is decided by the
"judges" scorecards (technical decision/technical draw) then all
round bets will be deemed losers.
* If the contest goes to the scorecards, then all round bets will be
deemed losers.
* Where a contest finishes before the scheduled number of rounds due
to an accidental injury and the winner is not determined by the
"judges" scorecards, all bets will be void.
* For "Total Rounds" settlement purposes, 1 minute and 30 seconds will
represent half a round. For example, for a bet on "Over 10.5 rounds"
to be a winner, the fight must last beyond 1 minute and 30 seconds
in round 11. If the number of rounds for a fight is changed after
this market has been set then all bets on this market will be void.
* For "Will the Fight Go the Distance" (or similarly titled) markets,
should the scheduled number of rounds change, this market will be
made void. In the event of a technical decision, for settlement
purposes, the fight will have been deemed NOT to have gone the
distance (i.e. the scheduled number of rounds).
* Round Specials
* Any bets placed on occurrences to occur (or not to occur) in a given
round will be deemed losing bets if the fight concludes (for any
reason) before that round. For example, any bets on a fighter to
have a point deducted in round 9 will be deemed losing bets if a
knock-out brings the relevant fight to a conclusion in round 7.
* Method of victory
* A knockout (KO) occurs when the boxer does not stand up after a ten
count. Technical knockouts (TKO) occur when a boxer is knocked down
three times within the same round and the fight is stopped or where
the referee steps in to stop the fight when it is decided that a
fighter cannot safely continue. If a fighter fails to answer a bell
for the next round then this will also be deemed a TKO. For betting
purposes, KO/TKO options also include disqualification and
retirement.
* Technical Decision/Draw
* If a fight is scheduled for more than four rounds and, after four
rounds, an accidental foul occurs which causes an injury (further to
which the referee stops the fight), the fight will be deemed to have
resulted in a technical decision in favour of the boxer who is ahead
on the scorecards at the time the fight is stopped (and all markets
on the fight will stand).
* If the accidental injury / technical decision occurs during the
first 4 rounds, all bets will be made void UNLESS the result of the
relevant market has already been unequivocally determined or if the
"judges" scorecards are used to determine an official winner at
ringside.
* If an intentional foul causes an injury and the injury results in
the fight being stopped in a later round: (i) the injured boxer will
be deemed to have won by technical decision if he is ahead on the
scorecards and (ii) the fight will result in a 'technical draw' if
the injured boxer is behind or even on the score cards (and, for
settlement purposes, the result of the fight will be deemed to be a
draw).
* For betting purposes, betting on rounds or a group of rounds is for
a fighter to win by KO, TKO, disqualification or due to the other
fighter retiring during that round or group of rounds. In the event
of a technical decision before the end of the fight, all round bets
will be deemed to be losers.
* To Score a Knockdown
* For settlement purposes, a knockdown is defined as a fighter being
KO'd or receiving a mandatory eight count (anything deemed a slip by
the referee will not count).
* Unconfirmed Fights
* All fights dated/timed on site for 12:00 on 31st December are
potential unconfirmed fights; if the fight doesn't take place by
this date then all such bets will be void.
* Prizefighter Rules
* Match bets will be settled on the result announced in the ring. If
any result is announced incorrectly at ringside but is subsequently
corrected then bets will be settled based on the corrected winner.
* Outright bets will be settled based on the winning boxer who lifts
the trophy. If a substitute is introduced during the tournament, all
outright bets will stand and an outright price will be quoted for
the new boxer. All outright bets on boxers who withdraw during the
tournament due to injury or cuts (having fought on the card) will be
deemed to be losing bets.

bets will be void, unless the match is replayed within 48 hours of
its advertised start time (in which case the bets will stand).

all bets will stand and will be resulted based on the events that
transpire (including as continued or commenced on the reserve day if
needed) in accordance with our relevant rules for all respective
markets.
* 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

the original listing will be void.

official tournament results/match scorecards which are included on
the ICC's official website. If there is no result available, then the
website www.cricinfo.com will be used for settlement purposes.
* A batsman that retires from an innings will not be considered as a
wicket for settlement purposes.
* The term "innings reaching its natural conclusion" refers to an

official competition rules (including where matches are shortened due
to external factors and DLS or similar is used to produce an official
result). In the event of there being insufficient play for there to
be an official result under competition rules then all bets shall be
void regardless of if competition rules dictate a ‘winner’ for
tournament progression purposes or if there is a super over / bowl
out to determine a winner.
* If a match is tied and a super over or bowl out is played then match
winner settlement will stand based on the super over / bowl out
result. In all other scenarios, dead heat rules will apply. For the
avoidance of doubt, if scores are tied at the completion of both
innings (including the scenario where DLS or other similar methods
are used in reduced over games) then any tie breaker based off
previous action in the match/competition/tournament that may be used
to determine a winner including, but not limited to: losing fewer
wickets, run rates, most boundaries, most sixes, better score at a
certain point, higher group position does not count for the purposes

are subsequent super overs / bowl outs used then settlement will
stand based off the result of these.

then all bets will be void.

score achieved by the batting side including any extras or penalty
runs awarded during the innings. Should there be a reduction in the
scheduled overs then settlement will still apply provided the
reduction is no more than 20% of the entire innings allocation at the
time the bet was placed (including any overs the team has already
faced). Should the reduction in overs be greater than 20% then all
bets on this market shall be void unless the outcome of such any such
bet had already been unequivocally determined prior to the conclusion
of the shortened innings. If a team is due to face less than 10
overs, then all bets will be void should there be any reduction in
overs whatsoever.

* All in play or not (i.e. if a player does not take part in the
tournament, bets placed on that player will stand).
* If two or more players take the same number of wickets, dead heat
rules will apply.
* Top Tournament Runscorer
* All in play or not (i.e. if a player does not take part in the
tournament, bets placed on that player will stand).
* If two or more players score the same number of runs then dead heat
rules will apply.
* Direction of first boundary
* This market will be settled on the direction of the first boundary
that comes off the bat (given as runs to the batsman).
* This market includes both fours and sixes.
* Completed Match
* This market will be settled based on whether there will be a result
declared on this limited overs match or whether the match will be
abandoned/declared a no result.
* For the avoidance of doubt, an official result declared other than
that the match is abandoned or declared a no result will mean "yes"
is the winning selection in this market.
* If the match is abandoned or declared a no result this will mean "no"
is the winning selection in this market.
* Please be aware that this market will carry over onto any reserve day
and will be settled on the official result of the match. If a match
is postponed or abandoned for any reason other than weather (which
may include but is not limited to: dangerous or unplayable wicket or
outfield; pitch vandalism; strike or boycott; crowd
protests/violence; floodlight failure; stadium damage; acts of
terrorism; and acts of God), Betfair reserves the right to void all
bets on this market.
* Total Runs In Match
* This market is based on how many runs will be scored in the match
across both teams innings combined.
* Extras and penalty runs will be included for settlement purposes.
* The following minimum number of overs must be scheduled, otherwise
all bets are void, unless settlement is already determined.
* Twenty20 Matches – 16 overs.
* One Day Matches - 40 overs.
* Wickets lost after "x" overs.
* This market is settled based on how many wickets have been lost at
the conclusion of the number of overs stated in the index. If the
innings reaches a natural conclusion without reaching the number of
overs named in the index then all bets will be settled based on the
number of wickets lost at the end of play.
* #OddsOnThat Cricket Rules
* The rules in this sub-section apply specifically to the settlement of
any cricket bets which are placed via #OddsOnThat ("OOT"). All other
settlement rules which are included in this "Cricket Rules" section
or elsewhere on this website (including in these Rules and
Regulations) will also apply to the settlement of OOT bets unless
they contradict, or conflict with, those included in this sub-section
(in which case, the rules in this sub-section shall take precedence).
* For the settlement of OOT bets, a wicket will not be deemed to have
occurred if a batsman retires from play.
* If any player who is part of an OOT bet does not take part in the
relevant event, the whole bet will be void.
* Where we have made an obvious or manifest pricing or descriptive
(i.e. wording) error in respect of an OOT bet, we reserve the right
to cancel such OOT bet and subsequently to offer the bet at the
correct price or pursuant to a different description.
* For OOT bets relating to series betting, when the full number of
scheduled matches within the relevant series is not played for any
reason, we reserve the right to void any markets which relate to the
series as a whole.
* If a team's innings in a test match or county championship match
lasts less than sixty overs for any "external" reason (i.e. other
than in circumstances where the innings has reached its natural
conclusion) then OOT bets relating to that team's innings will be
void.
* For limited overs matches, OOT bets involving the number of runs to
be scored will be settled based on the final number of runs achieved
by each side (including any extras or penalty runs awarded during the
match). Should there be a reduction in the scheduled number of overs
to take place during an innings, all OOT bets in respect of the match
will stand if the reduction amounts to no more than 10% of the total
number of overs that were scheduled in respect of that innings at the
time the OOT bet was placed. Should the reduction in overs be greater
than 10% then any OOT bets in respect of that match shall be void
(irrespective of the total number of runs achieved by either team)
unless the bet in question had been unequivocally determined at the
time of the curtailed completion of the match (i.e. such that, at the
time of the curtailed completion, the outcome of the bet could not
have been different had the additional scheduled overs been played).
* The maximum pay-out in respect of a cricket OOT bet shall be £/€
50,000.
* CYCLING
* Where there is a presentation ceremony, markets will be settled on the
official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the
ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to
the result.
* If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in
accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in
reporting the result).
* For "To Win A Stage" markets, if the named rider fails to start the race
all bets on that rider will be void. If the named rider is involved in a
dead heat for first place in any stage, this will count as a stage win.
* Head-to-heads will be settled upon the cyclist achieving the highest
placing in the specified event/stage. In the event of one or both
cyclists do not start the event/stage then bets will be deemed void. If
both cyclists start but fail to finish a specific event/stage then bets
will be deemed void. If both cyclists start a specific event/stage and
only one fails to finish then the cyclist who completes the specific
event/stage will be deemed the winner
* All stage betting will be settled on the results published by the
official race governing body at the time of the podium presentation.
This is regardless of whether the stage has been shortened due to
adverse weather conditions or any other reason.
* DARTS
* In the event of a match starting but not being completed, the player
progressing to the next round will be deemed the winner (or in the case
of the final the player declared the winner).
* If a match is not completed for any reason then bets on 'any correct
score' or 'next leg/game/set' market will be void unless the market has
been unconditionally determined.
* If a match is not completed for any reason then bets on any handicap
market will be void unless the market has been unconditionally
determined.
* For doubles and triples involving highest checkout, most 180s and
win/loss of match, each aspect of the bet must have been won outright
for the bet to be deemed successful (and settled as a winning bet). For
the avoidance of doubt, the bet will be deemed unsuccessful (and settled
as a losing bet) if: (i) the selected player’s highest checkout is the
same as his/her opponent, (ii) the selected player scores the same
number of 180s as his/her opponent and/or (iii) the match is tied.
* For Darts Daily Specials, all scheduled matches must take place,
otherwise all bets are void.
* ESPORTS GENERAL RULES
* If an event involves the same two players or teams playing multiple
games/maps, E.G. "Best of 3", and one or more games or maps are not
played because the result of the event has already been determined, bets
on such games or maps are void.
Postponements/Cancellations
* Dates and start times are shown for info purposes only. Events
cancelled, postponed or interrupted and not completed within 48 hours of
the originally scheduled start time, bets on that event are void and
stakes refunded. However, games or maps that are completed within 48
hours are settled normally even if additional games or maps that were
supposed to be part of the same matchup are cancelled or further
postponed.
Broadcast
* Bets are settled based on the official broadcast of the game by the
publisher or event organiser. Where the broadcast shows a counter of
rounds won, kills, dragons, towers etc., this will generally be used to
settle relevant bets. If the result of a bet is unclear from the
broadcast, or if there is no broadcast, then the statistics API for the
game will be used where available.
Indexed Markets
* In the case of indexed or numbered markets (such as the winner of a
specific round in Counter Strike: GO, or the team to score a particular
numbered kill in League of Legends or DOTA2), the index determines the
objective that counts. Words such as "next" in the market name are not
guaranteed to be correct, as broadcasts may be delayed and we may not
always advance the index precisely when an objective is scored or a
round completed. All bets are therefore settled on the particular
numbered round or objective specified, regardless of any other wording
in the market name or its timing in relation to when the bet was placed.
* If the scheduled number of rounds or maps is changed, or if markets are
erroneously offered based on a different number of rounds or maps from
the actually scheduled number, then bets on the winning margin
(including handicap), total rounds / maps, correct scores etc. are void
and stakes refunded. Map winner and matchup winner bets stand.
* If any map is not played or is awarded to one player or team by walkover
or default without play having commenced, all bets on that map and on
the matchup as a whole are void and stakes refunded. Bets relating only
to maps that are played stand. A map is deemed to have started as soon
as the game clock starts or either team or player takes a game action
relating to that map, including picks, bans and weapon purchases.
League of Legends
* Towers - all destroyed towers count as having been destroyed by the
opposing team even if the last hit was from a minion.
* Inhibitors - all destroyed inhibitors count as having been destroyed by
the opposing team even if the last hit was from a minion. For bets
involving the number of inhibitors destroyed, each of the six inhibitors
counts only once, even if it is destroyed, respawns and is destroyed
again. For bets involving the next inhibitor destroyed, each destruction
of an inhibitor counts separately, even where it has respawned and is
being destroyed for a second or subsequent time.
* For bets involving kills (inc "First Blood", which in League of Legends
is synonymous with the first kill on the map), the official broadcast or
game API if available is definitive in determining whether the death of
a Champion counts as a kill. For example, where a Champion is killed by
tower or minion damage without the involvement of an enemy Champion this
may not be registered as a kill on the broadcast, in which case it does
not count as a kill for bet settlement purposes.
* For bets involving the next team to score a particular objective or the
team to score the most of a particular objective, where a "neither" or
"draw" option is offered and is the winning outcome, bets on either team
are losers. Where no such selection is offered and neither team is a
winner, all bets on the market are void and stakes refunded.
Surrenders
* Where one team surrenders, bets stand and are settled as follows. For
bets involving the map winner, the winning team is the team that did not
surrender.
* Bets involving dragons, barons and kills are settled based on the
situation at the time the surrender takes place.
* Bets involving towers and inhibitors are settled as if the winning team
had destroyed the minimum number of additional towers and / or
inhibitors theoretically required to win the game normally from the
position when the surrender occurred. For example, if any inhibitor of
the losing team is down at the time of surrender then no additional
inhibitor is deemed to have been destroyed. If no inhibitor of the
losing team is down then the winning team is deemed to have destroyed
one additional inhibitor, with priority given to an inhibitor that has
already been destroyed if such an inhibitor exists and has respawned. If
the winning team has destroyed all tier 1 towers and one tier 2 tower,
then it will be deemed to have destroyed three further towers (seven in
total), since it would have needed to destroy at least one tier 3 tower
and the two nexus towers to have won the game normally from that
position.
DOTA2
* Towers - all destroyed towers count as having been destroyed by the
opposing team even if the last hit was from a minion.
* Barracks - all destroyed barracks count as having been destroyed by the
opposing team even if the last hit was from a minion. The ranged and
melee barracks in each pair count as separate barracks, so that each
team has a total of six barracks.
* Kills (other than "First Blood") - the official broadcast or game API if
available is definitive in determining whether the death of a Champion
counts as a kill. E.G. where a Champion is killed by tower or minion
damage without the involvement of an enemy Champion this may not be
registered as a kill on the broadcast, in which case it does not count
as a kill for bet settlement purposes.
* First Blood - The broadcast or official API score must register the kill
as First Blood. Where, for example, a kill is denied by a team-mate, it
may not be counted as First Blood (regardless of whether it is
registered as a kill on the broadcast kill counter), in which case it
will not count as First Blood for bet settlement purposes. For the
avoidance of doubt, all kill markets other than "First Blood" are
settled based on the kill counter, but a kill that is registered on the
kill counter will count as First Blood only if is announced as such.
* Roshans - the team that scores the last hit on Roshan as determined by
the broadcast or game API if available is deemed to have slain Roshan,
regardless of the player who picks up the aegis of the immortal.
* Next team to score a particular objective or the team to score the most
of a particular objective - where a "neither" or "draw" option is
offered and is the winning outcome, bets on either team are losers.
Where no such selection is offered and neither team is a winner, all
bets on the market are void and stakes refunded
Surrenders
* Where one team surrenders, bets stand and are settled as follows:
* For bets involving the map winner, the winning team is the team that did
not surrender.
* Bets involving Roshans, barracks and kills are settled based on the
situation at the time the surrender takes place.
* Bets involving towers are settled as if the winning team had destroyed
the minimum number of additional towers theoretically required to win
the game normally from the position when the surrender occurred. For
example, if the winning team has destroyed all tier 1 towers and one
tier 2 tower, then it will be deemed to have destroyed three further
towers (seven in total), since it would have needed to destroy at least
one tier 3 tower and the two ancient towers to have won the game
normally from that position.
Counter Strike: GO
* Most map bets are based on the scheduled number of rounds (usually best
of 30) excluding extra rounds played in the event of a draw. If,
however, a map winner market is offered without a "draw" selection then
this is settled in favour of the overall winner of the map (inc ET if
played)
* FUTSAL
* Bets will be settled according to the result declared by the relevant
governing body at the end of the match. In the absence of consistent,
independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting
evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
* All markets will be settled with the result at the end of regular time
(40 minutes). The only exceptions are for matches that are played for a
lesser duration (e.g. 30 minutes) as agreed by the laws of the
competition in which they are competing or agreed by both sides prior to
kick-off. In such cases, if the match is played in the traditional
format of 2 halves, all bets will be settled at the end of the agreed
game length.
* In the event of a match not taking place, bets on this match are deemed
void.
* Should a match be abandoned all markets will be voided unless the
outcome has been unequivocally decided.
Overview of Specific Markets (Futsal)

regular time including stoppage time. Overtime is excluded for
settlement purposes of the 3-way Match Odds market.
* Overtime counts for settlement of Handicap and Total Goals markets.
* GAA
* Extra time not included (unless otherwise stated). Markets settled on
the 60/70 minute result.
* Any match abandoned before completion will be declared void unless an
official result is declared by the governing body. All other markets

plus points) scored by the named player. The player must start for bets
to stand.
* Average points. League/Championship This market will be settled based on

start time. For the purpose of this rule, the scheduled start time of a
match shall be that which is declared by the GAA Central Council, the
individual provincial councils and/or the individual county boards which
determine the applicable competition fixtures. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between the start times declared by any of the
foregoing, the order of priority shall be (in descending order): (i) the
GAA Central Council then (ii) the individual provincial councils then
(iii) the individual county boards.
* #OddsOnThat GAA Rules
* The rules in this sub-section apply specifically to the settlement of
any GAA bets which are placed via #oddsonthat (OOT). All other
settlement rules which are included in this "GAA" section or
elsewhere on this website will also apply to the settlement of OOT
bets unless they contradict, or conflict with, those included in this
sub-section (in which case, the rules in this sub-section shall take
precedence).
* Own goals scored by the opposition team will count towards a team's
goal tally. However, own goals scored by a player will not count
towards that player's goal tally.
* If any player who is part of an OOT bet does not take any part in the
relevant match, then the entire OOT bet in question will be voided.
* For OOT bets on a player to score under or over a total number of
points: (i) the player selected must start the match (bets will be
voided in instances where the relevant player does not start) and
(ii) placed balls (i.e. free kicks, penalties, 45s and side-line
balls) that result in a score will count towards this tally unless
otherwise stated.
* For any OOT bets, extra time and/or replays will not count unless
expressly specified otherwise.
* Any OOT bets involving woodwork to be hit require that the ball must
hit a goalpost or the crossbar during active play. If the ball hits
the woodwork after the referee has stopped play, then it will not
count. If the ball hits the woodwork twice or more in succession,
each connection with the woodwork will count separately.
* All OOT markets (including Total Wides/Lineouts) will be settled on
the basis of the official result which is declared by RTE Sport (or
such other organisation as is nominated by Betfair from time to
time).
* Markets in respect of the first goalkeeper to touch the ball will be
settled on the basis of which goalkeeper first touches the ball while
the match is in play. For example, if a goalkeeper touches the ball
but the referee brings back play for any reason (e.g. a free kick is
awarded in respect of an infringement which occurred before the
goalkeeper touched the ball), the goalkeeper will, for the purposes
of these rules, be deemed not to have touched the ball.
* Where an obvious pricing error has occurred, we reserve the right to
cancel any OOT bets placed at the incorrect price (and, in such
circumstances, we will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed at the
correct price).
* For any obvious wording errors, we reserve the right to cancel any
OOT bets placed on that selection (and, in such circumstances, we
will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed with the correct wording).

single or multiple bet that contains an OOT selection.

accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the

initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error
in reporting the result).

conditions the trophy presentation will govern settlement, including
tournament groups, matches, place only, top 10 and all other 72-hole

void except markets that have already been decided i.e. 'first round
3-balls'.

* In the event of a play-off the result of the play-off will determine
the winner of the tournament only. Even if three or more contestants
take part such a play off has the sole purpose of deciding the
winner of the tournament and the relative finishing positions of
unsuccessful contestants is not affected.

price of the field be sufficiently affected by withdrawals.
17.12 #ODDSONTHAT GOLF RULES
* The rules in this sub-section apply specifically to the settlement
of any golf bets which are placed via #oddsonthat ("OOT"). All other
settlement rules which are included in this "Golf" section or
elsewhere on this website will also apply to the settlement of OOT
bets unless they contradict, or conflict with, those included in
this sub-section (in which case, the rules in this sub-section shall
take precedence).
* For any OOT bets which involve a player to win a tournament, if that
player shares the same lowest score in the tournament as another
player and there is no play-off, the relevant part of the OOT bet
will be settled according to our normal dead heat rules.
* In the event of a play-off, the result of the play-off will
determine the winner of the tournament. Even if three or more
contestants take part in a play-off, such a play-off has, for the
purposes of any OOT bets, the sole purpose of determining the winner
of the tournament (meaning that the relative finishing positions,
within the tournament, of unsuccessful play-off contestants is not
affected by their placing in the play-off).
* Any players who withdraw from a tournament after they have completed
3 holes or more are considered as having played in the tournament
and, therefore, any OOT bets placed on those players will be deemed
to be losing bets.
* For any OOT bets which involve a player that has withdrawn before
they have completed 3 holes, the bet in question will be voided in
its entirety.
* Where an obvious pricing error has occurred, we reserve the right to
cancel any OOT bets placed at the incorrect price (and, in such
circumstances, we will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed at the
correct price).
* Any OOT bets involving a player to finish in the top 5/10/15/20 (or
similar) will (unless otherwise stated) be deemed successful if the
player finishes in a tie for the last named place. For example, if
an OOT bet is placed on player to finish in the top 10 and the
player finishes in tied 10th position, the OOT bet will be settled
as a winning bet.
* For any obvious wording errors, we reserve the right to cancel any
OOT bets placed on that selection (and, in such circumstances, we
will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed with the correct wording).
* The maximum payout on an OOT golf bet shall be £/€50,000. For the
avoidance of doubt, this maximum applies to all elements of your OOT
bet when taken together (i.e. it does not apply separately to each
element of your OOT bet).
* GREYHOUND RACING
18.1 GENERAL
* The following rules apply solely to online and mobile bets which are
placed via the Betfair Sportsbook on greyhound racing. Separate rules
apply to bets which are placed on the Betfair Exchange.
* For commercial reasons, Betfair may exclude selected customers from
receiving various promotions, such exclusion which shall be
communicated to the customer by email or otherwise.
* Best Odds Guaranteed is not available on greyhound racing.
* Greyhound names are displayed on Betfair's website for information
purposes only and all bets will be settled on the basis of the trap
numbers on which bets are placed.
* Double result concessions do not apply to our greyhound racing markets.
* Where a "no race" is declared, all bets will be voided unless the
"re-run" race takes place on the same day (in which case all original
bets will stand).
* All bets will be settled on the basis of the official result declared
on the day of the relevant race. If the official result is
retrospectively changed, Betfair will not resettle the applicable
markets.
* In the event that no starting prices are returned for an individual
race, all bets on that race will be declared void.
* Where a greyhound is withdrawn from a race or replaced by an
alternative (e.g. reserve) greyhound, all early price bets which were
placed on the remaining greyhounds before the withdrawal or replacement
will be settled at those greyhounds' starting prices (while all bets
placed following a withdrawal or replacement will be settled at the
relevant greyhounds' early prices).
* Each way starting price bets will be accepted for unnamed favourites.
All unnamed second favourites are win only and, therefore, no each way
betting is available for them.
* In races where there are less than six runners, all Top 3 market bets
will be void.
* In races where there are less than six runners, all Betting W/O market
bets will be void.
18.2 MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
* Future Greyhounds are subject to a maximum payment of £50,000. The only
exception to this is the English Greyhound Derby which has a maximum
payout, for Future Greyhound bets, of £100,000.
* The maximum payout to any one customer in respect of bets on any single
day's greyhound racing in the UK is £100,000 to the extent that such
bets are covered by a "full service". Unless stated otherwise herein,
bets on all Irish greyhound races and UK bets which are not covered by
a "full service" are subject to a maximum payout of £10,000.
* Betfair only accepts bets in respect of greyhound meetings which are
displayed on its websites. The only exceptions to this rule are when
prices are quoted over the phone and applied to a customer's account.
Any bets inadvertently processed in respect of events which are not
displayed on Betfair's website will be voided (regardless of the
result).
18.3 FUTURE GREYHOUNDS BETTING
* For the avoidance of doubt, Future Racing and Antepost bets refer to
the same market type and either term may be used interchangeably.
* Unless stated otherwise in the remainder of this sub-section, Future
Greyhounds bets are accepted on an "all-in" basis, whether a selection
runs or not. Therefore, in the event of a non-runner, for whatever
reason, all bets placed on an Future Greyhounds basis will stand.
* When the runners for a Future Greyhounds event are finally determined
(generally, this will mean that the event has been whittled down to 6
runners), all bets placed after the Trap Draw for the Final is
announced will revert to Non-Runner No Bet.
* All bets placed after the trap draw for a final has been announced will
be settled at their starting price (i.e. SP) should any of the other
finalists fail to take their place for whatever reason.
* Bets placed on a given greyhound after the trap draw for a final will
be voided if that greyhound is withdrawn from the race (i.e. such bets
will be settled on a "non-runner no bet" basis).
18.4 EACH WAY BETTING
* Each way betting on greyhound races will be settled as follows: (i) 8
runners = 1/5th of the full payout for first three finishers and (ii)
5-7 runners = 1/4 of the full payout for the first two finishers. Where
there are four runners or fewer in a greyhound race, we do not offer
each way betting.
* Where the number of runners in a race is reduced to four (i.e. for a
race in which five or more greyhounds were previously due to compete),
any each way bets will be automatically converted to "win only" bets.
18.5 TRAP CHALLENGE BETS
* A trap challenge bet is a bet placed on the most successful trap across
a number of races.
* Where a trap challenge market offered by Betfair is described by
reference to specified timeframes, the postponement of any races (such
that they do not occur within those timeframes) will be disregarded.
For example if a meeting is scheduled to run from 18:38 to 21:26 but
the 21:26 race ends up taking place at 21:49 due to unforeseen
circumstances, the postponed race will still form part of any trap
challenge bets which are placed in respect of such meeting.
* Trap challenge bets are defined by reference to their scheduled
off-times. Any race which occurs outside of those scheduled off-times
will not be included within the relevant bet (save where the race in
question occurs outside of the scheduled off-time due to postponement).
* Trap challenge results stand irrespective of vacant traps, reserves
running or void races. No Rule 4 deductions will be applied to trap
challenge markets.
* All trap challenge bets will stand if more than half of the specified
races in the named trap challenge market take place. If half of the
races or fewer take place, bets on the relevant trap challenge market
will be voided.
* Trap Challenge markets are win only and are only available up until the
first scheduled race.
* If two or more trap numbers record the same number of wins then our
normal dead-heat rules will apply to applicable trap challenge markets.
* Should any individual race result in a dead heat for 1st place then all
greyhounds concerned will be regarded as having won that race for trap
challenge settlement purposes.
* Inside v Outside - In races where there are less than six runners, all
Inside / Outside trap bets will be void.
* Inside v Outside – In the event of a Dead Heat all Inside / Outside
trap bets will be void. Bets are only void if an inside trap dead heats
with an outside trap. Should two inside traps dead heat ie. Trap 1 and
Trap 2, then inside traps should be paid as a winner.
18.6 PLACEPOTS / PLACERS
* Placepots and/or placer bets can be accepted via telephone only. Named
runners will not be accepted, only trap numbers.
* Should a vacant trap replace a selected greyhound, any bet on that trap
number will automatically be deemed to be a bet on the unnamed
favourite. If, in such circumstances, there are joint-favourites for
the race in question, the bet will automatically be deemed to be a bet
on the joint-favourite with the lowest racecard number.
* In the event of a placepot / placer bet being accepted on a meeting
where a dividend is not declared, all such placepot / placer bets will
be deemed void (irrespective of the result).
18.7 TOTE FORECASTS
* Forecast dividends are declared to a £1 stake and will be settled
according to the BAGS industry forecast dividend.
* Where a forecast bet has been placed by a customer and one of the
customer's selections becomes a vacant trap, the customer's bet will
automatically be converted into a win single on the remaining selection
(the odds for such win single to be the remaining greyhound's starting
price).
* In the event that any number of greyhounds are involved in a dead-heat
for either 1st or 2nd place then an industry dividend will be issued
for both winning forecasts.
18.8TOTE TRICASTS
* Tricast dividends are declared to a £1 stake and will be settled
according to the BAGS industry tricast dividend.
* If a tricast is accepted on a race where no tricast dividend is
declared then any tricast bets will be settled as a forecast bets on
the first two greyhounds appearing on the customer's bet slip.
* Where a tricast bet has been placed by a customer and one of the
customer's selections becomes a vacant trap, the customer's bet will
automatically be converted into a forecast bet on the remaining
selections. If two of the customer's selections become vacant traps,
the customer's bet will automatically be converted into a win single on
the remaining selection (the odds for such win single to be the
remaining greyhound's starting price).
* In the event that any number of greyhounds are involved in a dead heat
for either 1st, 2nd or 3rd place then an industry dividend will be
issued for each winning forecast.
* Tricasts are accepted as singles only. Multiples accepted in error will
be deemed void (irrespective of the result).
18.9 FIXED ODDS FORECASTS AND FIXED ODDS TRICASTS
* Should there be any non-runners in a race, bets will be settled at
Industry Dividends.
* Should any selection included within a fixed odds forecast or fixed
odds tricast bet be a non-runner, the entire forecast or tricast bet in
question will be void.
18.10 COURSING
* All bets will be settled as per Irish Coursing Club (ICC) rules. In all
circumstances, the judge's decision will be final.
* If a greyhound is withdrawn before coming under the slipper's control
in the first round, bets placed on such greyhound will be deemed void.
* In the event of a final not being run for any reason, our dead heat
rules will apply to all antepost bets.
* HANDBALL
* In case of a match being postponed it will be voided unless it takes
place within 48 hours of the initial scheduled starting time.
* Settled on 60 minutes play unless stated otherwise. Extra time does not
count.
* If 60 minutes is not completed then all bets will be void, except those
that have been unconditionally determined. If an official result is
declared all bets will stand.
* The name/heading of a competition amounts to evidence of what a bet
refers to. For example, if you place a bet on "Norway vs Brazil" under
the competition name/heading U20 World Cup, the bet will apply to the
match between Norway and Brazil which is part of the U20 World Cup.
* HOCKEY
* In case of a match being postponed it will be voided unless it takes
place within 36 hours of the initial scheduled starting time.
* Overtime does not count unless stated otherwise.
* Should a match be abandoned all markets will be voided unless the
outcome has been unequivocally decided.
* HORSERACING
21.1GENERAL
* Unless stated otherwise, all individual race markets will be determined
according to the official result at the time of the "weigh-in"
announcement. Subsequent disqualifications, appeals or amendments to
the result will be disregarded. Card numbers are posted as a guide
only: bets are placed on a named horse. Information (such as jockey
silks, saddlecloth numbers etc) is provided "as is" and is for guidance
only. Betfair does not guarantee the accuracy of this information and
use of it to place bets is entirely at your own risk.
* If a race is declared void, or in the event of a walkover, all bets on
that race will be void.
* If a race is postponed or re-scheduled, all bets will stand providing
the final declarations and the race venue remain unchanged.
* If the scheduled venue is changed after a bet is placed, all bets will
be void.
* If a scheduled surface type is changed (e.g. turf to dirt) all bets
will stand.
* The favourite is the selection quoted in the official starting price
returns at the shortest odds. The second favourite is the horse quoted
at the next shortest odds. If two horses are quoted at the same odds
and these odds are shorter than those quoted against any other horses,
then these two are equal first favourite and equal second favourite. If
two or more co-favourites are thus selected, the stake will be divided
equally between them.
21.2FUTURE RACING
* For the avoidance of doubt, Future Racing and Antepost bets refer to
the same market type and either term may be used interchangeably.
* All Future Racing bets are accepted and settled on a Rules of Racing
basis only.
* Future Racing bets are accepted at quoted prices, up to and including
the day prior to the event, on the basis of all in, run or not, entered
or not. Therefore selections not taking part in the race/event
concerned are losers
* Future Racing bets are those placed at our quoted prices on horses and
prior to the race becoming classed as ‘day of event’ (day of event is a
term used to describe the time at which overnight declarations are
made, usually 10am on the day preceding the race (or two days for
certain Group 1 races) for horse racing and the day of the race for
greyhounds).
* All bets placed after the overnight declaration stage are settled in
accordance with our early prices/day of race rules.
* In line with principals laid down by Tattersalls Rules of Racing,
Future Racing bets will be void under the following circumstances,
otherwise bets stand:
* If the race is abandoned or declared void.
* If the venue of the race is altered or postponed to a later date at
a different track.
* If the race is postponed to a later date at the same track with
entries totally reopened bets placed after the initial entries are
void, but bets placed prior to the initial entry stage will stand.
All bets will stand if a race is postponed to later date at the same
track with the same entries, whether the bet was placed before or
after the initial entries stage.
* If the horse is balloted out or eliminated under Jockey Club rules
single bets will be void. In any such cases, accumulative Future
Racing bets will stand on the remaining legs, at the prices laid on
the selections in those races, with a double becoming a single, a
treble becoming a double, etc.
* In the event of horses being withdrawn under Jockey Club/Turf Club
rules, to limit the number of entries taken part, these horses shall
be void. The liability of a layer against horses remaining will be
reduced on both win and place parts of such bets, in accordance with
the rate to be announced before the race by Tattersalls Committee,
dependant on the odds currently available against the withdrawn
horses at the time of withdrawal. All bets are executed at the price
ruling at the time of handing in of the bet. We reserve the right to
correct any palpable error. Win doubles, trebles, etc are calculated
at full accumulative odds. Each-way doubles and trebles etc. are
settled win-to-win, place-to-place, and for the place part of such
bets, the fractional odds pertaining at the time of acceptance.
Place only bets, conditional bets and forecast bets are not accepted
for Future Racing. When the same selection is backed to win two or
more races/events in Future Racing bets, special odds are
applicable. These special odds will supersede the accumulative odds
calculated from the individual event prices irrespective of the fact
that the individual event prices may be endorsed on the slip. If
special odds were not available, the stake will be divided equally
as singles at the prices available at the time the bet was placed.
* Any horse that does not qualify for, or is expunged from a race,
will be settled as a loser. Bets taken on a horse after they have
not qualified by the applicable qualifying date will be voided.
21.3'BEST ODDS GUARANTEED'
* Best Odds Guaranteed is a promotion only available to customers whose
registered address is in the UK only
* Best Odds Best Odds Guaranteed is not available to customers whose
pcountry of residence is the Republic of Ireland.
* "Best Odds Guaranteed" is offered on UK and Irish horse race Winner
markets.
* For commercial reasons, Betfair may exclude selected customers from
receiving various promotions including Best Odds Guaranteed, such
exclusion which shall be communicated by email or otherwise.
* Best Odds Guaranteed applies, for Winner markets only (win and each
way), to any price taken on singles after 8am on the day of the
applicable race.
* "Best Odds Guaranteed" is not available on Future Racing markets.
* “Best Odds Guaranteed” is not available on multiples.
* Where "Best Odds Guaranteed" is offered, bets will be settled at the
Industry Starting Price ("SP") if the SP is bigger than the price taken
by the customer when they place their bet. For example, if the price
taken is 3/1 and the SP is 4/1, we will pay out at the bigger price of
4/1.
* In the event of a Rule 4 deduction applying to a price taken, we will
pay at the bigger odds after the Rule 4 deduction has been made to the
price taken.
* Where no SP is returned, the last price offered by Betfair fixed odds
will be taken as the SP.
* Best Odds Guaranteed does not apply to Oddsboost selections
21.4STARTING PRICES
* '˜SP bets' placed on the Betfair Sportsbook or Betfair's 'Fixed Odds'
products will be settled on the official Industry Starting Price and
not the 'Betfair SP'.
* If no official Industry Starting Price or Industry Off Course Starting
Price is returned, bets where no price is taken (including forecasts,
tricasts and unnamed favourites) will be settled at the last price
quoted on the Betfair Sportsbook prior to the off of the race.
21.5DOUBLE RESULTING
* Double result is only applicable to horse racing in Ireland and the UK
where an industry SP is returned.
* Double result means if your horse is first past the post you get paid,
however, should your horse be awarded the race or promoted to a place,
as a result of a stewards enquiry or an objection which is announced
before the ‘weigh in’ or ‘winner alright’, we will still pay you.
* In a combined Horses bet, the bet remains a winner if a runner in a
combined horses selection is first past the post and another horse is
promoted to a winner. The bet is promoted to winner if the runner in a
combined horses selection is promoted to winner where the first past
the post was not in the combined horses selection.
* We offer Double Result on Place Betting, Betting Without Favourite,
Fallers Insurance, Combined Horses & all Insurebet Markets.
* Double result does not apply to the following bets or circumstances:
a. All Future Racing bets.
b. Bets which rely on Tote dividends ie. Jackpots, Placepots etc which
are settled on the Rules of Racing.
c. Any horse disqualified for taking the wrong course or for carrying
an incorrect weight.
d. Races which are declared void.
e. Where there is an official correction to the result by the judge or
SIS prior to the ‘weigh in’ and any races which are declared void
before the ‘weigh in’ for which Rules of Racing will apply.
f. All bets on horse racing outside of Ireland and the UK (which shall
be settled on a Rules of Racing basis only).
g. All bets on horse racing within Ireland and the UK where an
industry SP is not returned in respect of the applicable race (such
bets shall be settled on a Rules of Racing basis only).
h. All bets placed on Betting in Running markets (which will be
settled on a Rules of Racing basis only).
i. Oddsboost Markets
j. The Aintree Grand National
21.6MATCH BETTING
* Where we offer match betting (i.e. where we select two or more horses
in a particular race to compete against each other in a match bet), all
bets will be settled in accordance with the Rules of Racing of the
British Horse Racing Authority which are then in force (and results
will be determined according to the official returns in the following
day's Racing Post).
* Bets are settled on the best finishing position.
* For flat racing, if two or more of the named horses do not complete the
course, the placing of those horses in relation to each other shall be
determined, and bets shall be settled, according to the distance
travelled by each horse (according to the official returns in the
following day's Racing Post).
* For National Hunt races, if two or more of the named horses do not
complete the course, the placing of those horses in relation to each
other shall be determined, and bets shall be settled, according to the
number of obstacles cleared by each horse (according to the official
returns in the following day's Racing Post). If both horses clear the
same number of fences/hurdles, bets will be void.
21.7PLACE TERMS
* Each-way bets (Win and Place) are offered for the majority of races.
For all horse races (at Early Price and S.P) the each-way terms are
affected by the type of race and the number of runners taking part and
these terms are, unless indicated otherwise, as follows:
Race Type No. of Runners Place Odds No. Places All Races 4 or less Win
Only Win Only All Races 5-7 1/4 1,2 Non-Handicaps 8+ 1/5 1,2,3
Handicaps* 8-11 1/5 1,2,3 Handicaps* 12-15 1/4 1,2,3 Handicaps* 16+ 1/4
1,2,3,4
["˜Handicaps" include all Handicap and Nursery races]
* The '˜Win' and 'Place' part of each-way multiple bets are settled
separately (that is, win-to-win and place-to-place).
* Once opened, the number of winners in 'to be placed' markets may be
affected by further non-runners.
* From time to time we may offer promotions that pay out on extra
placings in a horse race. In these instances we reserve the right to
alter the standard place terms as set out above (e.g. we may offer to
pay out 5 or 6 places in a handicap with 16 or more runners but to do
so at 1/5 of the odds as opposed to standard 1/4). These promotions are
not confined to handicaps. The onus is on the customer at all times to
check the each way terms on offer (particularly in those races where we
are offering additional place payouts).
* For a horse to be deemed not to have been placed in a given race, it
must have started that race.
* If the number of placed horses is less than the number of potential
winners, the winners will only be the placed horse or horses.
* If any race is reduced to four runners or less, all each-way bets will
be taken as "all-to-win" given that there are no places.
21.8COMBINED WINNING DISTANCE FOR A MEETING
* Distances for each race meeting are settled on a 'first past the post'
basis. If any of the scheduled races at a meeting are not run, bets are
void unless the maximum quote has been attained.
* The maximum winning distance per race for a flat race is 12 lengths
while a National Hunt race is 30 lengths. This also applies should only
one horse complete the race.
* Distances are as follows:
* Nose: 0.05
* Short-head: 0.1
* Head: 0.2
* Neck: 0.3
* Half a Length: 0.5
* 3/4 of a Length: 0.75
* 1 Length: 1
* No Finishers - If there are no finishers in a race, it shall be treated
as void.
* Walkovers will be excluded from all markets unless created by the
withdrawal of a horse after we have begun quoting a market concerning
the race in question, in which case the make-ups will be as follows:
* Distances: Flat 5 lengths, National Hunt 12 lengths.
21.9FALLER INSURANCE
* Price offered is for the horse to win the race.
* If the horse falls, unseats the jockey or is brought down the bet stake
is returned. It does not apply to horses that Slip Up, Refuse, Run Out
or get Carried Out.
* In the event of a horse being withdrawn, not under starter’s orders,
stakes on that selection will be returned.
* Bets for the remaining horses in the race will be subject to a
deduction in accordance with Tattersall’s R4(c) based on the Win price
of the withdrawn horse(s) at the time of withdrawal, (see Tattersall’s
R4 table under Horse Racing rules). E.g. Horse X priced at 4/1 in the
win market and 11/4 in the "Faller Insurance" market is withdrawn then
a R4 deduction of 20c based on the 4/1 Win price shall apply to the
"Faller Insurance" market.
* Refunded bets will be settled as soon as possible but in some cases may
take up to an hour.
* Where disputes arise results will be taken from www.racingpost.com
21.10FAVOURITES INDEX
* Quotation is made on the basis that the horse which is the SP favourite
is awarded 25 points if it wins, 10 points if it is second and 5 points
if it is third. Points will be awarded for first 3 places irrespective
of Each Way terms.
* If there are joint or co-favourites in a race, the horse with the
lowest race card number is considered, for the purposes of the bet, to
be the favourite.
* If the returned favourite (as published in the following day's tabloid
edition of the Racing Post) has not come under starter's orders then,
for the purposes of the bet if its price at the time of withdrawal is:
* Equal to or greater than 5/1, 5 points will be awarded.
* Less than 5/1 but greater than evens, 10 points will be awarded.
* Evens or less, 15 points will be awarded.
* No Finishers - If there are no finishers in a race, it shall be treated
as void
* Walkovers will be excluded from all markets unless created by the
withdrawal of a horse after we have begun quoting a market concerning
the race in question, in which case the make-ups will be as follows:
* Favourite: 20 points
* If the returned favourite dead-heats for one of the places then it will
be awarded the average points of the two places involved.
* For example, a dead-heat for first would be awarded the average of
25 + 10 points = 17.5 points
* A dead-heat for second would be awarded the average of 10 + 5 points
= 7.5 points
* A dead-heat for third would be awarded the average of 5 + 0 points =
2.5 points
21.11WINNING DISTANCE/HOW FAR WILL IT WIN BY
* Betting on the winning distance will be on races only as displayed.
* The winning distance will be that margin, as officially announced
between the winning horse and the second.
* All winning distance bets are settled on a first past the post basis
only, i.e. double result does not apply.
* In the event of a withdrawal resulting in a Rule 4 of 10c or greater in
a race where we offer distance betting the full Rule 4 amount will be
applied to the Overs.
* In the event of a selection being withdrawn the not to win price of the
favourite will be subject to a reverse rule 4. eg 8/1 shot withdrawn,
favourite 1/1 not to win. Reverse rule 4 of 10c applies. Fav not to win
settled at 11/10.
* We will pay double result in accordance with our rules on Distance
Specials.
* Where there is only one finisher in a race:
* Where a distance special selection is the only finisher in a race,
the over on the distance special will be settled as the winner and
all other selections in the market will be settled as losers.
* If there is only one finisher in the race and it is not the distance
special selection, all distance bets on that selection will be
settled as losers.
* 3-way distance betting markets where no individual selections are
named: When there is only one finisher, the over on this market will
be settled as a winner and the under and middle options in this
market will be settled as losers.
21.12 LENGTHEN YOUR ODDS
* Bets will be settled on the official distance between the named
selection & the horse that finishes 2nd.
* In the event of a horse being withdrawn, not under starter’s orders,
stakes on that selection will be returned. Bets for the remaining
horses in the race will be subject to a deduction in accordance with
Tattersall’s Rule 4(c) based on the win price of the withdrawn horse(s)
at the time of withdrawal, (see Tattersall’s Rule 4 table above).
* Double Result concession does not apply to this market.
21.13BETFAIR NON-RUNNER RULE
* If a horse comes under Starter's Orders but refuses to race, the bet
will be a loser.
* With the exception of Future Racing bets as described above, in all
horse races where a runner is withdrawn, or adjudged not to have
started - and therefore been declared a Non-Runner by the starter -
stakes on that selection will be refunded.
* Bets on the remaining runners in that race, where a price has been
taken, may be subject to a deduction. This is based on Tattersalls Rule
4(c) (see below) and is dependent on the withdrawn horse's price at the
time it was withdrawn.
* Bets on horses in reformed markets that subsequently have one or more
withdrawn horses may also have a deduction applied based on the prices
of any withdrawn horse(s) at the time of the withdrawal(s).
* In the event that there is insufficient time to form a new market on
the race, bets placed at starting price may also be subject to a
deduction based on Tattersalls Rule 4(c).
* For bets where a price is taken, the application of Rule 4(c) will be
determined by the last Betfair price available at the time the relevant
horse is withdrawn.
* Deductions in the pound will be applied based on the odds of any
withdrawn horse as follows:
Price of selection Deduction Price of selection Deduction 1/9 or
shorter 90p 6/5 to Evens 45p 2/11 to 2/17 85p 6/4 to 5/4 40p 1/4 to 1/5
80p 7/4 to 13/8 35p 3/10 to 2/7 75p 9/4 to 15/8 30p 2/5 to 1/3 70p 3/1
to 5/2 25p 8/15 to 4/9 65p 4/1 to 10/3 20p 8/13 to 4/7 60p 11/2 to 9/2
15p 4/5 to 4/6 55p 9/1 to 6/1 10p 20/21 to 5/6 50p 14/1 to 10/1 5p
over 14/1 No deduction
* If there are two or more withdrawals in one event, the deduction will
not exceed 90p. If the price of a withdrawn selection is not quoted in
the above table, then Rule 4(c) will be applied at the next highest
price quoted. For example 21/5 would be classed in the 9/2 bracket for
Rule 4 purposes.
* Reserves: In races with reserves, reserves will generally be priced up
within the market. However if any bets are taken prior to a reserve
horse being declared to run and where the reserve was not priced up at
the time the bet was placed, then any such bets will be settled on the
result 'without the reserve runner(s)'. Each way bets settled on the
result "without the reserve runner(s)" will be based on the number of
runners, excluding reserves, that start the race. In races where
reserves are priced but do not run, Betfair may make a Rule 4 deduction
in accordance with the above Betfair Non-Runner Rule.
* Incorrect withdrawals: If a horse is removed from a market but
subsequently takes part in the race, then all bets on that selection
will be made void and stakes refunded at the point that the selection
was removed from the market. At the point that the horse is re-instated
in the market, all original bets will be replaced subject to customers
having available funds in their account. If a customer does not have
available funds within their account at the time of re-instatement, the
voided bet will not be replaced.
21.14BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE
* For the purposes of this bet, the "Without" selection(s) will be the
shortest price horse(s) as determined by Betfair early prices at the
time the market is created.
* For settlement purposes the "Without" selection's finishing position
will be ignored.
* Any each-way terms advertised are settled on the actual number of
runners who take part in the race, excluding the 'without' selection.
* Each-Way terms are specified in race.
* In the event of non-runners and withdrawals winning bets are subject to
Rule 4 deductions.
21.15PLACE ONLY MARKETS
"˜Place only" bets will be settled as follows:
* The number of places paid will be made clear on the market.
* Bets will be settled on the official result only.
* If there are non-runners in the race, then provided there are more
runners in the race than the number of places being paid out on the
market, then all bets on the remaining runners will stand subject to
the deductions below. All bets on non-runners (not under starter's
orders) will be voided.

* If the scheduled venue is changed after a bet is placed, all bets will
stand provided the match is not postponed by more than 48 hours from the
original kick off time.
* Any multiple bet reduced by an abandoned, postponed or re-arranged match
will stand on the remaining selections.
* If a match starts but is abandoned before its completion, all bets will
be void unless an official result is declared by the applicable
governing body. Where an official result has been declared by the
official governing body, that official result will govern match and
handicap market settlement but all other markets will be void unless
their result has already been determined at the point of abandonment
(i.e. at the point of abandonment, it would not have been possible for
the outcome of the bet to change had the match continued to its natural
conclusion). By way of example, if 37 points have been scored at the
time a match is abandoned: (i) a bet placed on 35 points or more to be
scored would be settled as a winning bet, (ii) a bet placed on 30-35
points to be scored would be settled as a losing bet and (iii) a bet
placed on 40-45 points to be scored would be void. In such
circumstances, bets on last tryscorer / team to score last / team to
score last try / last scoring play would all be void.
* Outright Bets: all bets placed on outright markets will be settled on
official tournament results. For betting purposes, any team which has
points deducted due to breaches of rules and regulations will be deemed
a starter. If, at the time a deduction of points is announced, the loss
of points means that only one eventuality can occur then all bets on
that competitor are void and monies will be returned. Any bets placed
after a points deduction may have prices adjusted accordingly.
* All outright markets which state "Regular Season" (or similar) are
deemed to mean the official standings of teams after all matches of the
predetermined season are played and before any playoff matches have
commenced.
* Tournament Tries/Points: Bets will apply to all playing time, including
any extra time in any match where an official result is declared.
* To Miss Top 2 / Top 4 / Top 8: For betting purposes, any team which has
points deducted due to breaches of rules and regulations will be deemed
a starter. If, at the time a deduction of points is announced, the loss
of points means that only one eventuality can occur, then all bets on
that competitor are void.
* Tryscorers: All bets will be refunded if they were placed on players not
included the official match day 22 or 23 (depending on the competition).
If a substitute is not on the field before the first try is scored then
bets on that player will be void in the ˜First Tryscorer, ˜First Team
Tryscorer and ˜First Tryscorer Insurebet markets. If a substitute comes
on at any stage during the game, they will be considered ˜All In for all
other tryscorer markets. If they do not take any part in the game, they
will be void in all tryscorer markets. All bets placed in this market on
the selection ‘No Tryscorer’ should be win only. If any Each Way bets
are placed on this selection, all place parts of the bet will be made
VOID.
* First/Last/Xth Try Scorer: In the event of a penalty try being scored,
we will pay out on the penalty try option if we have offered it as a
selection (whether in first try scorer, last try scorer or Xth try
scorer markets). If the penalty try option is not offered then we will:
(i) (for first try scorer markets), pay out on the basis of the second
try where the first try is in fact a penalty try and (ii) (for last try
scorer markets), pay out on the basis of the penultimate try where the
last try is in fact a penalty try. For ‘Xth try scorer’ markets, if the
penalty try option is not offered, we will void any bets placed on the
Xth try to be scored by a particular player if that try is in fact a
penalty try.
* First 2nd Half Tryscorer: Bets placed on substitutes will be void if the
first 2nd half try is scored before they come on.
* First Tryscorer Insurebet: If the player fails to score the first try
but does score a try in the match then the bet stake will be returned.
If a substitute is not on the field before the first try is scored then
bets on that player will be void.
* Position to Score First Try: In the event of a penalty try being the
first try scored, we will pay out on the position of the next tryscorer
for "Position to Score First Try" markets. For ˜"Position to score xth
Try" markets, in the event of a penalty try, we will pay out on the
position which scores the next try (e.g. if the first try scored in a
match is a penalty try and the second try is scored by a forward, then a
˜"forward" will be deemed to have scored both the first and second
tries). If there is no try scored after the penalty try then this market
will be void.
* To win in Extra Time: If there is no winner following extra time, dead
heat rules will apply to bets on this market.
* Tryscorer Matchbets / Kicker Matchbets / To Score the Most Points
Matchbets: Both players must be in the starting 15 for bets to stand. If
there is no "Tie" or "Draw" selection offered and the result is a tie
then all bets will be void.
* Best Kicking Percentage Matchbets / Kicker Matchbets / To Score the Most
Points Matchbets: Bets will be void if both players do not attempt at
least 1 placed kick at goal.
* Player Total Points / Perfect Kicking record: Bets will be void if the
selected player does not attempt at least 1 placed kick at goal.
* Top Tryscorer / Top Team Tryscorer / Top Points Scorer: dead heat rules
apply.
* Regular Season Team Matchbets: dead heat rules apply.
* Head to Head: This market will settled based on the outcome of extra
time. In the result of a draw where no extra time is played, this market
will be settled according to dead heat rules.
* For Rugby World Cup Man of the Match markets, the market will be settled
based on the official 'Man of the Match' as determined by the Rugby
World Cup official site. If the Rugby World Cup official site fails to
declare an official Man of the Match for any reason, all bets will be
void.
* To ‘Make the Lions Squad’ markets will be settled based on the initial
squad announcement regardless of whether or not the Tour is then
postponed for any reason. Any subsequent call-ups after the initial
squad announcement will not apply towards settlement of this market. For
the 2021 tour only, if an initial squad is not announced in 2021 for any
reason, all bets will be void.
* In some tournaments, a “foul play review system" will operate. Under
this system, when a yellow card is shown on-field, a, off-field bunker
then reviews the incident and decide whether a yellow card is
sufficient, or whether it should be upgraded to a red card. If an
on-field yellow card is upgraded to a red card via this review system,
only the red card will count for settlement purposes. Any subsequent
corrections or amendments made by a disciplinary panel at a later date
will not affect settlement.
28.2 Rugby League Rules
* Except for bets placed via “Regular Time Match Odds” and “Match
Handicap” markets, all bets on Super League and NRL markets will be
settled on the basis of the official result (including any extra time).
NRL/Super League bets placed via “Regular Time Match Odds” and “Match
Handicap” markets, and any rugby league bets placed in relation
competitions other than Super League or NRL, will be settled on the
basis of 80 minutes’ play.
* If the result of a Super League or NRL match after extra time is a draw,
then our normal dead heat rules will apply. For the avoidance of doubt,
in such circumstances, all winning margin bets (including bets placed on
"Dozen Winning Margins"), will be deemed unsuccessful (given that
neither team will, in fact, have won the relevant match).
* All bets on NRL matches will be settled on the official declared result
including any extra time, except ‘Match Betting, ‘Handicap Betting,
'Will There Be Extra Time?', 'Highest Scoring Half' and 'Half With Most
Tries' markets (which will be settled on the basis of 80 minutes’ play).
In Handicap/Line and Totals betting where the value selected is a whole
number (e.g. 6.0), and the result lands on that number, then all wagers
related to that line number will be refunded, and any such bet will be
deemed an excluded leg for the purpose of any applicable MultiBet, which
will be recalculated excluding that leg. The same rules apply for State
of Origin and any other Australian Rugby League match where extra time
is played.
* If the result of an NRL match after extra time is a draw, then the Dead
Heat Rule will apply to all bets where a winner has not been officially
declared. All winning margin bets, including Dozen Winning Margins, will
be deemed unsuccessful bets as neither team has won the match.
* If a match is postponed, bets will stand until 48 hours from the
original kick off time, after which time they will be void.
* If the venue is changed from the one advertised, all bets on that match
are void.
* Any multiple bet reduced by an abandoned, postponed or re-arranged match
will stand on the remaining selections.
* If a match starts but is abandoned before its completion, all bets will
be void unless an official result is declared by the applicable
governing body. Where an official result has been declared by the
official governing body, that official result will govern match and
handicap market settlement but all other markets will be void unless
their result has already been determined at the point of abandonment
(i.e. at the point of abandonment, it would not have been possible for
the outcome of the bet to change had the match continued to its natural
conclusion). By way of example, if 37 points have been scored at the
time a match is abandoned: (i) a bet placed on 35 points or more to be
scored would be settled as a winning bet, (ii) a bet placed on 30-35
points to be scored would be settled as a losing bet and (iii) a bet
placed on 40-45 points to be scored would be void. In such
circumstances, bets on last tryscorer / team to score last / team to
score last try / last scoring play would all be void.
* Outright Bets: all bets placed on outright markets will be settled on
official tournament results. For betting purposes, any team which has
points deducted due to breaches of rules and regulations will be deemed
a starter. If, at the time a deduction of points is announced, the loss
of points means that only one eventuality can occur then all bets on
that competitor are void and monies will be returned. Any bets placed
after a points deduction may have prices adjusted accordingly.
* NRL & Super League Outright / Regular Season Outright / Top 2 / 4 / 8
Finish: All In Betting. Any Team which has points deducted due to
breaches of rules and regulations will be deemed a starter for resulting
purposes. Any loss of titles after the completion of the Grand Final
will be deemed null and void and all bets will stand. All outright
markets which state "Regular Season" (or similar) are deemed to mean the
official standings of teams after all matches of the predetermined
season are played and before any playoff matches have commenced.
* NRL & Super League Wooden Spoon: This market is settled on the team
which has the least wins for the season. A draw is considered as half a
win. In the event of more than one team having the same number of wins,
the outcome will be determined by the worst 'for and against' points
total. Points deducted because of breaches of rules and regulations are
excluded for resulting purposes. All In. Win Only.
* To Miss Top 2 / 4 / 8: For betting purposes, any team which has points
deducted due to breaches of rules and regulations will be deemed a
starter. If, at the time a deduction of points is announced, the loss of
points means that only one eventuality can occur, then all bets on that
competitor will be void.
* Tournament Tries/Points: Bets will apply to all playing time (including
any extra time) in any match where an official result is declared.
* Tryscorers: All bets will be refunded if they were placed on players not
included in the official match day 17. All players that are named in the
match day 17 will be considered "All In" for all tryscorer markets
(including "First Tryscorer" and "First Team Tryscorer" markets).
* First/Last Tryscorer: In the event of a penalty try being the first /
last try scored, we will pay out on the penalty try option if offered.
If the penalty try option is NOT offered, the player who would (in our
reasonable discretion) have scored the try (i.e. had foul play not
occurred) will be deemed to have scored the try for resulting purposes.
* First 2nd Half Tryscorer: If a player is included in his team's matchday
17 man squad, all bets on that player will stand regardless of whether
the player is on the field for the first 2nd half try or not.
* To win in Extra Time: If there is no winner following extra time, dead
heat rules will apply to bets on this market.
* Tryscorer Matchbets / Kicker Matchbets / To Score the Most Points
Matchbets: Both players must be in the starting 13 for bets to stand. If
there is no "Tie" or "Draw" Selection offered and the result is a tie
then all bets will be void.
* Best Kicking Percentage Matchbets / Kicker Matchbets: Bets will be void
if both players do not attempt at least 1 placed kick at goal.
* Player Total Points / Perfect Kicking record: Bets will be void if a
player does not attempt at least 1 placed kick at goal.
* Statistics/Supercoach Markets: All bets on players not in the starting
13 will be void. All statistic bets will be paid at the completion of
each round in accordance with official NRL statistics. Supercoach
markets will be paid at the completion of each round in accordance with
the Daily Telegraph (Australia) results.
* Top Tryscorer / Top Points Scorer: dead heat rules apply.
* Regular Season Team Matchbets: dead heat rules apply.
28.3 #Oddsonthat - Rugby Union and Rugby League Rules
* The rules in this sub-section apply specifically to the settlement of
any Rugby Union or Rugby League bets which are placed via #oddsonthat
("OOT"). All other settlement rules which are included in this "Rugby
Union/League Rules" section (or elsewhere on this website) will also
apply to the settlement of OOT bets unless they contradict, or conflict
with, those included in this sub-section (in which case, the rules in
this sub-section shall take precedence).
* All OOT bets are settled on the basis of 80 minutes play unless
otherwise stated. Overtime/Extra Time/Sudden Death will not count except
when the phrases 'To Qualify', 'Lift The Trophy', 'Win The Tie' or
similar are quoted. For all multiple OOT bets which involve one or more
bets including such phrases, the remaining bets (i.e. which do not
include such phrases) will be settled on the basis of 80 minutes play
unless stated otherwise.
* If any player who forms part of an OOT bet does not take any part in the
relevant match (or does not fulfil the conditions of the bet), then the
whole OOT bet shall be voided. This will apply in all cases regardless
if any/all of the remaining components win or lose.
* For any OOT bets which involve players being shown yellow or red cards
(for example, total match cards), only cards awarded once the player is
active in the match will count. Any cards shown before the starting
whistle or after the final whistle will not count.
* For any obvious wording errors, we reserve the right to cancel any OOT
bets placed on the relevant selection (and, in such circumstances, we
will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed with the correct wording).
* The Maximum payout for an OOT rugby bet shall be 25,000 euro/pounds. For
the avoidance of doubt, this maximum applies to all elements off your
OOT bet when taken together (i.e. it does not apply separately to each
element of your OOT bet).
* SNOOKER AND POOL
* In the event of a match starting but not being completed, the player
progressing to the next round will be deemed the winner (or in the final
the player declared the winner).
* If a player fails to start a tournament or match all bets on that player
or individual match will be void.
* If a match is not completed for any reason then bets on 'any correct
score' or 'next frame' market will be void.
* If a match is not completed for any reason, bets on any handicap market
will be void unless the market has been unconditionally determined.
* First Colour Potted The first colour legally potted scoring its own
value (i.e. not taken as a free ball) will be considered the winner,
irrespective of whether there are any subsequent re-racks.
* Next Frame - First Player to Pot a Ball The first player potting a ball
legally will be considered the winner, irrespective of whether there are
any subsequent re-racks.
* SOCCER
* Unless otherwise stated, all bets on soccer markets apply to 90 minutes
of play according to the match officials, plus any added injury or
stoppage time. However extra-time and penalty shoot-outs are not
included. The only exceptions are for: matches that are scheduled for a
duration other than the standard 90 minutes (e.g. 60, 70, 80 or 120
minutes) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are
competing or agreed by both sides prior to kick-off. In such cases, if
the match is played in the traditional format of two halves, all bets
will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time
added on by the referee for stoppages (whether the game length is
advertised by Betfair or not). If the game is played in an unusual
format (e.g. 3 or 4 periods) then all half-time markets will be voided
but all other markets will be settled on the basis of the score at the
end of the match (including any time added on by the referee for
stoppages).
* For "Extra-Time" markets, bets apply to 30 minutes of play according to
the match officials, plus any added injury or stoppage time. However
extra-time and penalty shoot-outs are not included. In "˜Extra-Time"
markets, bets apply to the result during the extra-time period only. For
the purposes of this market the score shall be deemed to be 0-0 at the
start of the extra-time period.
* If a match is postponed, all undetermined bets will be voided as long as
the match does not start before 23:59 local time (or if Betfair believes
that a match will not have started by such time) on its scheduled date.
* Fixtures that are rearranged before the scheduled kick off date will not
be regarded as postponements and all bets will stand, as long as the
rescheduled date is within 72 hours of the original kick off time.
* If a match starts but is later abandoned, all undetermined bets will be
voided as long as the match is not played to a finish before midnight
local time on its scheduled date.
* If the venue of a match is other than is indicated on our website, the
bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the
opponent's ground, in which case the match will be declared void.
Notwithstanding this rule, in major international tournaments (eg World
Cup, 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.
* For major tournaments (such as the World Cup), if a game is delayed
beyond midnight local time, all bets will stand and be settled once the
game is played, as long as the game is played to a finish within 72
hours.
* In the case of ambiguity over the official result from match officials,
the outcome will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using
information from independent sources.
* If an official fixture lists different team details to those listed on
the Betfair website (for example, the team name, reserves, age group,
gender, etc), then all bets matched 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).
* To the extent that a video assistant referee is consulted, the event
which led to the referral will, for the purposes of these rules, 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).
* Where we have settled a bet and, due to a subsequent VAR decision, it
becomes apparent that such settlement was inaccurate, we reserve the
right to reverse such settlement (provided that the VAR decision
occurred prior to the conclusion of the match or other timeframe
relating to the bet).
* Bets which are placed between the occurrence of an incident which leads
to a VAR review and the related VAR decision will be deemed void unless:
(i) the VAR review (and subsequent decision) did not ultimately alter
the decision made by the on-field officials or (ii) the VAR review (and
subsequent decision) altered the decision made by the on-field officials
but did not have any material influence on the bet(s) 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 (e.g. hand
gestures or stopping the match to review the incident themselves) and/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 whether the VAR has been
used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, PPBF will
settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed providers
and generally reputable online sources (acting reasonably).
* There is a small possibility that we will inadvertently offer soccer
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 goal
scorer in a match after that player has been substituted). While we have
implemented systems which aim to prevent this from occurring, in the
small number of circumstances where it does, we will void the bets in
question (and return the relevant stakes to customers accordingly).
* The statistics provided by Official OPTA Data will be used to determine
the settlement of any bets which are placed on: (i) a given player to
achieve a certain number of shots or shots on target, (ii) the total
number of offsides awarded in a match or against a particular team,
(iii) the total number of shots on target achieved by both sides, or
either side, in a match or (iv) the total number of tackles made by
either team in a match.
* Offside is awarded to the player deemed to be in an offside position
where a free kick is awarded. If two or more players are in an offside
position when the pass is played, the player considered to be most
active and trying to play the ball is given offside.
* With respect to "Tackles", a tackle is defined as where a player
connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes
the ball away from the player in possession.
* The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the
tackle is made.
* A tackle won is deemed to be where the tackler or one of his team-mates
regains possession as a result of the challenge, or that the ball goes
out of play and is "safe".
* A tackle lost is where a tackle is made but the ball goes to an
opposition player.
* Both are deemed as successful tackles however, the outcome of the tackle
(won or lost) is different based on where the ball goes after the
tackle.
* It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.
* Missed Tackles is where a player attempts to challenge for the ball and
does not make it – it is calculated by adding fouls with an attempted
tackle qualifier to the number of times a player is beaten by a dribble
(challenge lost).
* Clearance is a defensive action where a player kicks the ball away from
his own goal with no intended recipient.
* Interception is where a player reads an opponent’s pass and intercepts
the ball by moving into the line of the intended pass.
* Blocked pass is where a player tries to cut out an opposition pass by
any means. Similar to an interception except there is much less reading
of the pass.
* Block is where a player blocks a shot on target from an opposing player.
* If a team is disqualified, thrown out or otherwise removed from a league
before the relevant season has started then all bets involving that team
will be made void.
* 'Shirt numbers' bets will refer to the shirt number allocated at the
start of the match. 'Shirt numbers' bets will include own-goal scorers.
Any player whose shirt bears no number will be allocated the number 12.
* For 'time of first goal' bets (i.e. "First Goal Odds" markets), the
first half is deemed to last 45 minutes, regardless of stoppage time.
Also for these markets, please note that the "0 - 10 Minutes" selection
covers the first 10 minutes of the match. In other words, it runs from
0:00 until just before the clock hits 10:00. The "11 - 20 Minutes"
selection runs from 10:00 until just before the clock hits 20:00. The
same principle applies to each of the other selections in this market.
* For FIFA Man of the Match markets, the market will be settled based on
the official '˜Man of the Match' as determined by FIFA. If FIFA fail to
declare an official Man of the Match for any reason, all bets will be
void.
* For domestic games live on Sky Sports the market will be settled based
on who Sky give the award to during their live broadcast. If no award is
made during the live broadcast the result will be settled as the player
who is listed as the man of the match in the match report on
skysports.com. If the result on skysports.com is different from the
result of the Sky live broadcast then the markets will be settled on the
result from the live broadcast. For live domestic games on BT Sports,
BBC and ITV Man of the match bets will also be settled in accordance to
who the broadcaster names during the programme. In the case of games on
these channels, if no player is named during the programme then all bets
will be voided. The player must be specifically named as the man of the
match and not just simply referred to as the man of the match by one of
the pundits.
* For matches that are broadcast live on Sky Sports as well as another
channel, preference for settlement will be given to Sky Sports unless
Betfair have specifically outlined in the naming of the market that the
result will be settled on the official tournament or sponsor award.
* Likewise an official tournament or sponsor award outlined in the naming
of the market take precedence over the BT, BBC, and ITV pundit's award.
* 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.
* Anytime Score markets, If one or more of the players do not participate
in the game, then they will be deemed non-runners and the original price
will be reduced by the price of the said player(s), and settled
according to the performance of the remaining selection(s). Players will
be deemed a participant in the listed market should they enter the game
at any point in 90 minutes play plus injury time
* For First/Last Goalscorer markets:
* All bets placed on players that do not take part in the match will be
void. Bets placed on players who take the pitch after the first goal
is scored will be voided for First/Last Goalscorer purposes. Players
will be deemed a participant for Last Goalscorer and Anytime Scorer
markets should they enter the game at any point in 90 minutes play
plus injury time.
* Own goals do not count and will be ignored for settlement purposes.
Effort will be made to quote all participants but that will not
discount a player that is not quoted from being settled a winner. Bets
will only apply to 90 minutes play plus injury time.
* The following markets will also follow the rules applied to Anytime
Scorer betting above:
* To Score 2 or More
* To Score A Hat-trick
* First Team Goalscorer
* To Score And Win
* To Score First Or Second
* To Score First and Second
* To Score in First Half
* To Score in Second Half
* To Score in Both Halves

* To Score in First 20 Minutes
* To Score in Last 20 Minutes
* For each way First Goalscorer markets:
* Each-way 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 treated as losing selections.
If less than five goals are scored in any given match, Betfair will
settle bets on the basis of those goals that are scored. If no goals
are scored, all each-way bets will be regarded 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 voided 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 are deemed as losers.
* If a player scores the first goal of the match, both his win and place
part are winners. If a player scores the second, third, fourth or
fifth goal, only his place part is a winner.
* A player cannot be placed twice (i.e. if he scores 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 then 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 one of the first
five goals then the sixth goal will be settled as a winner on the
place part of the each-way bet. If two of the first five 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. In all other cases, Betfair's
Soccer rules apply.
* For '˜Tournament Hat-trick' markets, extra-time is included, however
penalty shoot-outs and own goals are not included. In the event of any
dispute as to who has scored any goal we will follow the decision made
by the relevant governing body.
* For Scorecast markets:
* Scorecasts are defined as First Player to Score / Correct Score
Doubles.
* Players either not taking part in the game 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 / 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.
* For Wincast markets:
* Wincasts are defined as the correct first goalscorer AND the correct
result double.
* Should a player not have taken the field by the time the first goal
has been scored then bets will be settled as singles on the Match Odds
market at the relevant odds offered at kick-off.
* Should the initial goal (or goals) be own goals then bets on the
subsequent Scorer / Result Double will be deemed winners.
* For 'Top Goalscorer' markets:
* all bets 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 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
* 'Mythical Match' markets:
* "Mythical Match" bets are offered on the highest number of goals,
corners or yellow cards (as applicable) achieved by, or awarded to,
two teams who are playing in different matches. For example, where
matches are due to occur between Team A and Team B (on the one hand)
and Team C and Team D (on the other), we might offer a Mythical Match
Market on whether, within those matches, Team A scores more goals, or
is awarded more corners or yellow cards, than Team C (even though
those teams are playing in separate matches).
* If both teams score the same number of goals, achieve the same number
of corners or are awarded the same number of yellow cards (as
applicable), the draw is the winning selection.
* The respective next fixtures of both teams will be displayed on our
website.
* If a team's next fixture is played on a different day from that
displayed on our website, all Mythical Match bets involving such team
will be void.
* Each relevant team's applicable fixture must be completed and have its
result upheld by the competition's official governing body (e.g. the
FA Premier League or FIFA) in order for mythical match bets between
those teams to stand.
* In the case of a fixture not starting or being shortened due to
external factors (e.g. unplayable conditions, security concerns,
technical faults) all mythical match bets involving either of the two
competing teams will be void.
* If a match official shortens a match for any reason (e.g. foul play)
all mythical match bets involving either of the two competing teams
will be void.
* 'Shots on Target' markets:
* for any bets involving a given player to achieve a number of shots on
target, the final determination by Official OPTA Data will be used to
determine the number of shots on target which the relevant player
achieved.
* A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
* Goes into the net regardless of intent; or
* Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but
for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is
the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the
goal (last line block).
* Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots
on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.
* Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not
counted as shots on target.
* All shots on target bets are settled on the basis of 90 minutes play
(plus injury time) unless otherwise stated.
* For any player shots/shots on target bets, all bets placed on players
that do not take part in the match will be void. Players will be
deemed a participant should they enter the game at any point in 90
minutes play plus injury time.
* Player Passes markets:
* For any bets involving a given player to achieve a number of passes,
official Opta data will be used for settlement purposes.
* A pass is defined as any intentional played ball from one player to
another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and
free kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and
throw-ins.
* All Player Passes bets are settled on the basis of 90 minutes’ play
(plus injury time) unless otherwise stated.
* For any Player Passes bets, all bets placed on players that are not
part of the starting 11 will be void.
* ‘Goalkeeper Saves’ markets:
* Goalkeeper Saves markets will be settled in line with Official Opta
data. Opta define a save as a goalkeeper preventing the ball from
entering the goal with any part of their body when facing an
intentional attempt on goal from an opposition player.
* An attempt on goal that hits a defending player before being
collected by the goalkeeper is not defined as a save and will be
registered as a block.
* A touch from a keeper that is subsequently cleared by a defender is
not defined as a save.
* Saves have the following attributes:
* Body part – Hands/Feet/Body.
* Save type – Caught/Collected/Parried Safe/Parried Danger
area/Fingertip
* Goalkeeper position – Diving/Standing/Reaching/Stooping
* For "Player not to score" markets, Players who are not on the field at
the beginning of 90 minutes play will not be considered runners in this
market and be settled as void.
* In markets which relate to the number of incidents to occur, such as
'number of corners', these will be determined on the basis of the number
taken, rather than awarded. This will also apply to incidents where time
is a consideration.
* "Team Multi Corner" markets are those which are offered on the number of
first half team corners multiplied by the number of second half team
corners.
* For markets that relate to the number of bookings given, the number of
corners taken, any goalscorer or the time of a particular goal, the
result will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using
information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new
information comes into the public domain within 72 hours of settlement,
then Betfair shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
1. whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of
this new information; or
2. to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate
or resettle the market. Except where Betfair has announced that it
is waiting for further information, any information that comes into
the public domain more than 72 hours after a market has been settled
shall not be considered by Betfair (regardless of whether or not
such information may have led to a different result).
* For combined shots on target markets, the bet will be void if any player
named in the selection plays no part in the match, regardless of the
overall outcome.
* For Over/Under Total Card markets, the maximum number of cards awarded
to one player is two. Yellow Card = 1. Red Card = 1. Yellow Card +
Yellow Card (Sending Off) = 2 Cards.
* For Bookings markets the following points system will be used:
* Yellow card - 10pts
* Red card - 25pts
* Maximum points awarded per player - 35pts
* Two yellow cards leading to an automatic red will score as one yellow
and one red card
* For Bookings markets, only cards shown to players on the active field of
play will count towards this total. If a card is shown to a substitute
who is not on the active field of play at the time of this card, it will
not count towards any totals. Cards shown after the full time whistle
will also not count towards any totals.
* For 'Shown a Card' markets, the player does not need to play the full
match and bets will stand if the player plays any part in the match.
Bets will be void on any player that does not play any part in the
match. In any dispute over whether or not a card was shown, Betfair will
settle the market when the ruling body has given its verdict. Subsequent
appeals or rulings will not be considered. Cards will only count which
are shown to players after they take the pitch for the first time and
before they leave the pitch for the final time.
* For 'Player Carded' markets, all bets placed on players that do not take
part in the match will be void. Players will be deemed a participant for
Player Carded markets should they enter the game at any point in 90
minutes play plus injury time. In any dispute over whether or not a card
was shown, Betfair will settle the market when the ruling body has given
its verdict. Subsequent appeals or rulings will not be considered.
* For ‘Player in Each Half’ markets, you are betting on a nominated player
to achieve the stated stipulation in both the first half and second
half:
* If the nominated player achieves the stated stipulation in the
selection, then the selection will be settled as a winner (e.g. if the
selection is Harry Kane to have 1 or more assists in each half and he
has an assist in the first half and an assist in the second half, this
would be settled as a winner).
* If the nominated player plays no part in the first half of the match,
or indeed any part of the match, then the selection is void (e.g. if
the selection is Harry Kane to score 1 or more goals in both halves
and Harry Kane is a substitute, but comes on during or after half
time, or plays no part whatsoever, the selection would be void).
* If the nominated player plays any part of the first half, and fails to
achieve the stated first half stipulation, then the selection is a
loser regardless of the duration of their participation in either the
first or second half (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to have 1 or
more shots on target in each half, and he starts the match/comes on
during the first half and fails to register a shot on target during
the first half, this selection will be a loser regardless of his
participation in the 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, then this
selection will be void (e.g. if the selection is Harry Kane to score 1
or more goals in each half & assist 1 or more goals in each half, and
he scores AND assists in the first half but is withdrawn before or
during half time i.e. plays no part in the second half, then the
selection is void. In this instance however, if he scored but didn’t
assist in the first half, the selection would be a loser, as it
marries up with the point above).
* 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 (i.e. usually any of the bottom three league positions), bets on
that team to be relegated will be settled as winning bets. If a team is
otherwise disqualified, thrown out or removed from a league (i.e. in
circumstances other than those where it has finished the season within
the relevant relegation positions): (i) if such team is disqualified,
thrown out 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 loaded) and (ii) if such team is disqualified,
thrown out or removed from the league after the relevant season has
started (or a determination is made by the applicable governing body,
during the season, that the team will be thrown out 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.
* For 'Rock Bottom' markets, all teams must complete all their league
fixtures for bets 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 games have been completed will not
affect settlement of this market.
* For Handicap Win and Handicap Bottom markets, goal difference does not
count.
* For 'Top at Christmas' and '˜Bottom at Christmas' markets, the market
will be settled based on league position as of 25th December regardless
of games played and any postponements and/or abandonments. For 'Bottom
at Christmas' markets, if a listed team is disqualified, thrown out or
otherwise removed from the league prior to the 25th December, all bets
will be made void on the relevant market.
* For Top Team from a particular Continent or other selection (for example
Top South American, European or African Team), the market will be
settled on the team that progressed furthest. Should two named teams
play each other in the Final or 3rd/4th Playoff, the winner of the match
will be deemed as having progressed furthest. Dead Heat rules apply if
two or more teams, which have progressed furthest in a particular
market, exit in the tournament at the same stage.
* For Team Scoring Most Goals, Team Conceding Most Goals, Team Shown Most
Cards, Total Tournament Goals, Team Top Goalscorer, Total Tournament
Hat-tricks and City With Most Goals markets, extra-time is included,
however penalty shoot-outs are not included.
* For Team Shown Most Cards markets, only one card will count for a second
bookable offence. If a yellow card shown is immediately followed by a
red card shown the total number of cards shown will count as one.
Therefore the maximum number of cards issued to any one player in a
match will be two.
* For Player to Score a Goal, Player to Miss a Penalty and Player to Be
Sent Off markets in respect of a particular tournament all bets will
STAND irrespective of whether or not the player takes part during this
tournament. Extra-time is included for such markets, however penalty
shoot-outs are only included for Player to Miss a Penalty market and not
for the other two. In the event of any dispute as to who has scored any
goal we will follow the decision made by the relevant governing body.
* For "next goalscorer markets", "first, second, third etc goalscorer
markets" or any other market relating to a particular specified
goalscorer (including "player to score a goal markets), own goals will
not be taken into account. Should the (next) goal be an own goal 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 game regardless of the previous goal being an own goal.
* For Goalscorer Match Bets markets, the market will be settled on the
player who scores the most goals in their respective games out of the
players listed (the listed players may or may not be playing in the same
game). 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 (but need not finish) their respective games for bets to stand.
Own goals will not count.
* For "Anytime Correct Score" markets: This market offers betting on the
chosen selection being the score at any time within 90 minutes of the
match plus any injury time added. Where a match is 0-0 at the end of 90
minutes plus any injury time added, all selections will be losers. Extra
time does not count.
* For "˜Extra Time Correct Score" markets - this market applies to the
result during the extra time period only. For the purposes of this
market, the score shall be deemed 0-0 at the start of the extra time
period.
* For "˜10 Minute Markets":-
* “Goal Scored X – Y” markets are defined as betting on whether there
will be a goal scored by one of the teams within the time period X – Y
(inclusive) of the event’s match clock. Only goals scored within that
timeframe will count for settlement.
* “Corner Awarded X – Y” markets are defined as betting on whether there
will be a corner awarded to one of the teams within the time period X
– Y (inclusive) of the event’s match clock. Only corners taken within
that timeframe will count for settlement.
* “Card Shown X – Y” markets are defined as betting on whether there
will be a yellow or red card shown to a player within the time period
X – Y (inclusive) of the event’s match clock. Only cards shown within
that timeframe will count for settlement.
* Please be aware that although the current score, time elapsed and other
data provided on the Betfair site is sourced from a "live" feed provided
by a third party, you should be aware that this data may be subject to a
time delay and/or be inaccurate. If you rely on this data to place bets,
you do so entirely at your own risk. Betfair provides this data "AS IS"
with no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of such
data and accepts no responsibility for any loss (direct or indirect)
suffered by you as a result of your reliance on it.
* For all Monthly Premier League Markets:
* Betfair will use the standard Barclays Premier League competition
format adjusted to treat each month as a separate competition
beginning the 1st of the relevant month and ending at the final
whistle of the final match of that month ("Month End").
* On the 1st of every month, each premier league team is deemed to have
no points accrued, goals scored or goals conceded
* Each Monthly Premier League Market, will be determined using the
following points rules:
1. Teams receive three points for a win
2. One point for a draw
3. No points are awarded for a loss
4. Teams will be ranked by total points, then goal difference and
then goals scored
5. If after this there is still a tie between teams the Dead Heat
Rule will apply.
* Any postponed or rescheduled games will be included in the monthly
market in which they are played and not the month in which they were
originally scheduled. Bets will not be voided on any selection
affected by any postponed or rescheduled games.
* If the result of an abandoned or forfeited match is determined by the
Premier League governing body, Betfair will follow that result
provided always that the result is determined before Month End,
otherwise Betfair will settle the Monthly Premier League Market based
on the result as known at Month End (including by allotted 0 points to
both teams if the result is unknown).
* Except for the reversal of match results in accordance with the rule
above, any points deductions issued by the Premier League governing
body (for example for teams going into administration) will not be
taken into account by Betfair in the Monthly Premier League Market.
* 'Quickbet' markets:
* Settlement in all cases will use the time of the event supplied to us
by our data provider (such data provider to be selected by us at our
absolute discretion from time to time).
* If none of the stated outcomes occur during the stated period, all
bets will be settled as losing bets.
* For the 'goal' selection, a goal will be deemed to have been scored
the moment the ball completely crosses the goal-line within the
confines of the goal posts, provided that the referee ultimately
awards the goal. For example, if the ball completely crosses the
goal-line but the goal is not awarded because, for example a foul
occurred before the ball crossed the line or because the referee did
not believe that the ball did cross the line, then a goal will not be
deemed to have been scored. Own goals scored will count towards
settlement of this market.
* For the '˜free kick' selection, a free-kick will be deemed to have
been awarded the moment the referee and or assistant referee signal
any of the following: A direct free-kick following a foul, an indirect
free-kick following a foul or offside offence but not a penalty kick,
corner or drop ball.
* Direct Free Kick for Goals / Shots – direct free kick shots are any
attempts created directly from the free kick itself.
* For the 'corner' selection, a corner will be deemed to have been
awarded the moment the referee and or assistant referee signal for the
award of a corner.
* For the 'goal kick' selection, a goal kick is awarded and timed
according to when it was indicated by the referee and/or assistant
referees. A kick out from the hands of the goalkeeper or a free kick
taken by the goalkeeper is not a goal-kick.
* For the 'throw in' selection, a throw in will be deemed to have been
awarded the moment the referee and or assistant referee signal the
award of the throw in.
* For markets where "hit the woodwork is offered", this will be defined
as the ball making contact with any part of the posts or crossbar from
an attempt on the opponent's goal during active play. Shots that hit
the woodwork on their way into the goal will count.where the ball hits
the frame of the goal, except goals that hit the frame before going
into the net. Any shot that hits the frame multiple times (e.g. bar
and left post) only count as hitting the woodwork once. Hit woodwork
is always collected for the attacking team (and the player, who
performed the last action), even when the ball hits the frame coming
from a defensive back pass.
* For '˜Exactacca' markets, all bets are for 90 minutes only, extra time
and penalties will not count. If a player at any stage participates in
the game they will be deemed a runner in the market. If a player does
not participate, relevant selections will be void, and the bets
settled at the combined price of the remaining selections.
* Assist markets:
* Data provided by Opta will be used to settle all assist markets.
* An assist is defined by the final touch (pass, pass-come-shot or
any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a
goal.
* If the final touch (as defined above) is deflected by an opposition
player, the initiator is only given an assist if the receiving
player was the likely intended destination of the touch before the
deflection.
* If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a
goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored directly from
the rebound, then an assist is awarded.
* If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player
to put the ball in their own net (Own Goal), then an assist is
awarded to the attacking player.
* For a penalty or a free-kick, the player winning the penalty or
free-kick (by being fouled or causing a handball) is awarded an
assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if they take it
themselves, in which case no assist is awarded.
* For Minor Premiership Markets: A minor premiership is the title given
to the team which finishes a sporting competition first in the league
standings after the regular season but prior to commencement of the
finals.
* Soccer #OddsOnThat Markets:
* The rules in this sub-section apply specifically to the settlement of
any soccer bets which are placed via #OddsOnThat (OOT). All other
settlement rules which are included in this Soccer section or
elsewhere on this website (including in these Rules and Regulations)
will also apply to the settlement of OOT bets unless they contradict,
or conflict with, those included in this sub-section (in which case,
the rules in this sub-section shall take precedence).
* All OOT bets are settled on the basis of 90 minutes play (plus injury
time) unless otherwise stated. Extra time and penalties will not
count, except when the phrases 'To Qualify', 'Lift The Trophy' or 'Win
The Tie' are quoted. For all multiple bets which involve one or more
bets including such phrases, the remaining bets (i.e. which do not
include such phrases) will be settled on the basis of 90 minutes' play
(plus injury time) unless stated otherwise.
* If any player who is part of an OOT bet does not take any part in the
relevant match (or does not fulfil the conditions of the bet), then
the whole OOT bet shall be voided. This will apply in all cases
regardless if any/all of the remaining components win or lose.
* Any dubious goals will be awarded according to the final determination
of the Press Association.
* Own goals do not count towards any player totals. If an own goal is
scored by a player on Team A, the goal will be added to Team B’s total
goals as per normal rules.
* For OOT bets which have been placed on the method of the first (or any
other) goal (e.g. header, shot from outside the penalty area etc), any
own goals will be disregarded (i.e. for the purposes of such any such
bets, own goals will be deemed not to have occurred). For example, if
you have placed an OOT bet on the first goal to be scored via a
header, your bet will be successful if: (i) the first goal was an own
goal which came off a player's knee and (ii) the second goal was an
ordinary goal scored via a header.
* For any outright OOT bets placed on the top goal scorer of a Premier
League season, the bets will be settled on the basis of the player who
is awarded the Golden Boot.
* Any OOT bets involving woodwork to be hit require that the ball must
hit a goalpost or the crossbar during active play. If the ball hits
the woodwork after the referee has stopped play, then it will not
count. If the ball hits the woodwork twice or more in succession, each
connection with the woodwork will count separately.
* For OOT bets on a player NOT to score or NOT to be carded, the player
in question MUST start the match or the applicable bet(s) shall be
voided.
* If a football match is abandoned after it has started, we will settle
any OOT bets which have already been unequivocally determined at the
time on which the match is abandoned. Any OOT bets which have not been
unequivocally determined at the time of abandonment will be void
unless Betfair has knowledge that the match has been rescheduled to be
played within three days of its original start date (in which
circumstances the bet shall apply to the rescheduled match).
* Any OOT Bets on the last goalscorer of a match will be void if that
match is abandoned.
* For OOT bets involving goal kicks, only goal kicks which are actually
taken will count towards the cumulative goal kick count (i.e. any goal
kicks which are awarded but not taken will not count).
* For OOT bets involving two or more occurrences, those occurrences must
take place at separate times for the OOT bet to be successful. For
example, an OOT 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 separate goal is scored from outside the
penalty area.
* Any OOT 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 any bets involving a penalty to be scored and/or missed (including
OOT bets), if there is a retake of the first penalty we will settle
this market on the result of the retaken penalty. This may include
several retakes until the sequence is finished.
* For any OOT bets involving a given player to achieve a number of shots
on target, the final determination by Official OPTA Data will be used
to determine the number of shots on target which the relevant player
achieved.
* Any OOT bets involving total passes, total player passes or total
possession will be determined in accordance with the final
determination of the official website of the relevant competition's
governing body.
* Pass shall mean any intentional played ball from one player to
another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and free
kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and
throw-ins. For more information on types of passes please visit:
https://www.optasports.com/news/opta-s-event-definitions/
* For any OOT bets involving players to be carded, only cards awarded
once the player is active in the match will count. Any cards shown
after the final whistle will not count.
* For any OOT bets involving booking points: a yellow card will be worth
10 points and a red card will be worth 25 points. However, if a player
receives two yellow cards and is consequently shown a red card, the
player will receive a total of 35 booking points for the relevant
game. Extra-time does not count nor do cards shown after the final
whistle count towards the total. Only cards shown to players currently
on the field of play will count. Cards shown to managers or
substitutes will not count towards any total.
* For any OOT bets placed on the total number of cards to be awarded
(e.g. in total, to a team or to a single player / group of players), a
player who has been shown two yellow cards (and is therefore
ultimately shown a red card) or a player who is shown a yellow card
followed by a straight red card will, for settlement purposes, be
deemed in each case to have been shown two (rather than three) cards.
For the avoidance of a doubt, the award of a straight red card will,
for settlement purposes, be deemed to amount to the award of a single
card.
* For any OOT bets involving corners, only corners that are actually
taken will count. If a corner is re-taken, it will only count as one
corner.
* For any OOT bets relating to any competition long specials, in the
event of one or more matches not being played, any selections that
require an event (goal, corner etc.) to occur in each match will be
settled at a reduced price in line with the actual number of matches
that were played.
* For any OOT bets relating to any specials involving players who play
no part in the competition, these will be void.
* Where an obvious pricing error has occurred, we reserve the right to
cancel any OOT bets placed at the incorrect price (and, in such
circumstances, we will offer the OOT bet to be re-placed at the
correct price)
* For any obvious wording errors, we reserve the right to cancel any OOT
bets placed on that selection (and, in such circumstances, we will
offer the OOT bet to be re-placed with the correct wording).
* Any OOT bets requiring 2 teams to score in each half or to score 2+ or
3+ goals require each named team to score 2+, 3+ or in each half as
appropriate.
* The Maximum payout for an OOT bet is £/€ 100,000. This maximum applies
to any single OOT bet or any multiple which includes an OOT bet.
* Dead-heat rules apply.
* Golden Boot Market:
* The Golden Boot award is given to the player who has scored most
goals.
* If two or more players score the same number of goals, the player
with more assists will be deemed the winner.
* If two 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.
* The same criteria applies for each-way bets.
* Extra-time is included, however penalty shoot-outs and own goals are
not included.
* Fouls Market:
* For any bets involving team or player to achieve a number of fouls
official Opta data will be used for settlement purposes.
* A foul is defined as any infringement that is penalised as foul play
by the referee.
* For a foul to be awarded, play must be stopped and a free kick must
be given. If the referee plays advantage and later distributes a
yellow card once the ball goes out of play this will not count
towards a foul as a free kick was never awarded.
* Offsides do not count as fouls.
* Match Odds 90:
* Applies to Match Odds 90 bets only.
* Bets paid out early if selection is winning at 90:00. All other bets
will be determined by the result of the match at the end of normal
time (90:00 plus stoppage time). Extra Time and Penalty Shootout do
not count.
* Settlement in all cases will use the time of the event supplied to us
by our data provider (such data provider to be selected by us at our
absolute discretion from time to time).
* When VAR is used the time of goal will be determine by our data
provider goal time, rather than the conclusion of VAR.
* In the case of ambiguity over the official result from match
officials, the outcome will be determined by Betfair (acting
reasonably) using information from independent sources.
* If the match is not offered in play the market will be settled based
on the full-time result.
* If the length of the match at full time is less than 90 minutes than
all bets will settle on the full time result.
* Match Odds 90 is only available to customers whose country of
residence is the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland.
* SWIMMING
* Where there is a presentation ceremony, markets will be settled on the
official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the
ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to
the result.
* If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in
accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in
reporting the result).
* Overall winner markets relate to the winner of the overall event and not
for individual qualifiers or heats. If there is a presentation ceremony,
markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing
body at the time of the ceremony, regardless of any subsequent
disqualification or amendment to the result. However, as a customer
courtesy we may choose to settle prior to official publication of
results.

with the official website of each tournament's governing body.
* In the case of any settlement disputes, Betfair's decision is final.

excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any handicap bets) and "To Win
First Set" bets will stand (save where the number of sets is reduced to
one from a higher number of sets, in which case such bets will be
voided). All bets other markets will be void. Where the format of the
final set is changed (e.g. the number of games to be played in that set
is changed) but the number of sets to be played remains the same, bets
for match betting markets will stand.
* In the event of a tennis event not taking place or if a player is given
a walkover, bets on the event are deemed void (in this context, "event"
refers to a single match-up between players, rather than the tournament
itself).
* In the event of a change to any of the following, all bets will stand:
* a change in court type (indoor to outdoor or vice versa)
* a change of playing surface (either before or during a match)
* a change of venue
* a change to the scheduling which affects the time or date of a match.
* Where a player, pairing or team does not participate in a tournament
(i.e. they are withdrawn prior to the start of their first match), all

be void with the exception of Game to Deuce if the result has already
been determined.
* If the wrong player has been set as the server for any individual game
(Current or Next Game) then all markets relating to the outcome of
that specific game will be void, regardless of the result.
* Games / Alternative Games / Exact Games Won Margin: These markets are
resulted on the absolute difference in total games won by player A and
total games won by player B. For example, if Player A wins 17 games and
Player B wins 19 games during the match, the market will be settled
based on the absolute difference (which is 2).
* Aces / Double Fault related markets: the match must be completed for
bets to stand on these markets, except in the case of already determined
markets (e.g. first ace or first double fault), which will be settled on
their result. All markets will be settled on the basis of official
scoring providers or official tournament websites (and in the event of
any discrepancies between data of official scoring providers and that of
tournament websites, the data of official scoring providers will take
precedence).
* Where a handicap is attributed to an entire market (e.g. the market is
titled "Set Handicap - 1.5 sets)" and there is no handicap attributed to
any individual selection within that market, the relevant handicap will
be applied to each first named selection. For example, if a market is
titled "Set Handicap - 1.5 sets" and it's Federer vs Nadal, if the final
score of the match is "Federer 3 sets, Nadal 2 sets", that selection
will be settled as if it the final score had been "Federer 1.5 sets,
Nadal 2 sets" (i.e. any bets on Federer will be settled as losing bets
and any bets on Nadal will be settled as winning bets).
* Unless otherwise stated in the name/heading of a market or selection,

games).
* In the case of penalty points or games – these will be settled in
accordance with the score update for resulting purposes.

* How does Each Way Betting work on the Outright market?
When viewing an Outright Betting market for a Tennis Tournament you will
see notation similar to following. 'Each Way terms: 2 places, 1/2 odds.'
'2 places' means when you place an each way bet it will pay on 1st and
2nd place.
The 1/2 odds refers to the odds for the place rather than the win. You
can calculate this by taking the odds displayed on-site, the minus 1,
then multiple by 1/2. Finally, you add the $1 back on. For example:
A player has odds of £5 to win the tournament. To calcualte place odds;
£5 - £1 = £4
£4 x 1/2 = £2
£2 + £1 = £3
The odds for the player to place, in this case, is £3.
* VOLLEYBALL
* In case of a match being postponed it will be voided unless it takes
places within 36 hours of the initial scheduled starting time.
* All markets will be settled with the final result by volleyball rules.
The only exceptions are for matches that are agreed by the laws of the
competition in which they are competing or agreed by both sides prior to
kick-off. In such cases, all bets will be settled at the end of the
agreed rules.
* In the event of a match starting but not being completed then all
markets will be void, unless an official result is declared, in which
case all bets will stand.
* The name/heading of a competition amounts to evidence of what a bet
refers to. For example, if you place a bet on "Italy vs Brazil" under
the competition name/heading U20 World Cup, the bet will apply to the
match between Italy and Brazil which is part of the U20 World Cup.
* WATER POLO
* In case of a match being postponed it will be voided unless it takes
place within 36 hours of the initial scheduled starting time.
* Overtime does NOT count for any markets unless otherwise stated.
* Should a match be abandoned all markets will be voided unless the
outcome has been unequivocally decided.
* WINTER SPORTS (WHICH INCLUDE ALL WINTER OLYMPIC SPORTS)
* All bets that have been identified as late in accordance to the relevant

PART D - SPORTSBOOK SPECIALS
1. FOOTBALL TRANSFER SPECIALS
1. 1.1PLAYER TO TRANSFER OR NOT TO TRANSFER BY SET DATE MARKET
* Loan deals do count as transfers for settlement purposes.
* If a player does not move club within a specified time window, bets
placed on that player to move club will stand and will be settled as
losers. In such circumstances, any bets placed on the player to stay at
his or her club will be settled as winners.
* If the player signs for a club that isn't quoted in the market, all
bets placed on that player to move to a specified club will stand and
will be settled as losers. Extra clubs can be added to markets by
customer request.
* Should an agreement be reached for a player to transfer to a new club
on a future date, the player will, for settlement purposes, be deemed
to have transferred on the date at which the agreement is completed
(rather than the date on which the player transfers to his/her new
club). For example, if, on 1 January, Player X signs an agreement to
transfer from Club A to Club B with effect from 1 June, Player X will,
for settlement purposes, be deemed to have transferred to Club B on 1
January.
* In cases where it is unclear whether a deal has been completed before a
deadline, we reserve the right to delay settlement until official
confirmation has been received from governing bodies.
* The player must be registered to the club in question before the
specified time frame ends. Pre-contracts or other similar agreements
that signal business to be completed at a date later than specified
will not count.
* When a player moves to a club, and is then immediately loaned out to
another club, we will settle on the club that has signed the player
permanently and not the loanee club.
2. 1.2NEXT MANAGER MARKETS (CLUB OR COUNTRY):
* Betfair will select a list of potential new managers at its discretion.
Other selections will be available on request. Should a manager not
listed be appointed, all bets will stand.
* Caretaker and interim managers will not count unless they complete at
least 10 competitive games and they will then be deemed the permanent
manager.
* Should a club appoint a director of football this will not count in the
settlement of permanent manager markets.
* In the event that a club changes the structure of their management team
and does not call the appointed individual first team manager, Betfair
Sportsbook will settle the market based on the individual who is
responsible for selecting the first team.
2. LIVE SPECIAL MARKET RULES
1. 2.1FIRST GOALSCORER 3PM KICK OFFS (GMT +1)
* Which player from this list will score first from the Premier League
games kicking off at 3pm (Scheduled)? The result will be determined by
the time on the match clock, not by the actual time. For example, if a
game (Game A) actually kicks off at 15:03:00 and the first goal in that
game is 15:07:01, the goal will be settled as the 5th minute. And a
game (Game B) that kicks off at 15:00:00 and the first goal in that
game 15:05:01, the goal is settled as the 6th minute, meaning that Game
A would have the first goalscorer. Dead Heat rules apply if the first
goal is scored by more than one player in the same minute of their
respective games. Bets on players who take no part in the match or who
come on as a substitute after the first goal is scored will be void.
Own goals do not count for this market. If any of the 3pm games are
postponed all bets will be void. If any of the 3pm games are abandoned
before half time all bets will be void, unless the result has already
been determined. All bets apply to 90 minutes of play according to the
match officials, plus any stoppage time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs
are not included.
2. 2.2TIME OF FIRST GOAL - 3PM KICK OFFS (GMT +1)
* In which minute will the first Premier League goal for this week's 3pm
(Scheduled) kick offs be scored? For 'time of first goal' bets (i.e.
"First Goal Odds" markets), the first half is deemed to last 45
minutes, regardless of stoppage time. Also for these markets, please
note that the "0 - 5 Minutes" selection covers the first 5 minutes of
the match. In other words, it runs from 0:00 until just before the
clock hits 05:00. The "6 - 10 Minutes" selection runs from 05:00 until
just before the clock hits 10:00. The same principle applies to each of
the other selections in this market. If any of the 3pm games are
postponed all bets will be void. If any of the 3pm games are abandoned
before half time all bets will be void, unless the result has already
been determined. All bets apply to 90 minutes of play according to the
match officials, plus any stoppage time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs
are not included.
3. 2.3ALL LEAGUE OR TORUNAMENT GAMES TO HAVE OVER 0.5/1.5/2.5 GOALS
* If one or more of the matches do not go ahead, then they will be deemed
non-runners and the original price will be reduced by the price of the
said match(es) For example, "All League 1 Over 1.5 goals" - There are 5
matches due to play and they've all been enhanced to 1.2 (1/5) for over
1.5 goals to make an enhanced fivefold of 2.49 (just under 6/4). If one
of the teams does not play, then the bet price will be reduced to 2.07.
All bets apply to 90 minutes of play according to the match officials,
plus any stoppage time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs are not included.
4. 2.4TOTAL GOALS SCORED IN A LEAGUE, MULTIPLE LEAGUES OR TOURNAMENTS
* If a match or matches are postponed following the market being
published then the goal expectancy for these matches will be removed
and a new total will be created. All bets placed prior to the
postponement will stand, but will be settled according to the new
total. For example, "Over 72.5 goals in 3pm FA Cup" - Newport C v
Portsmouth is abandoned and goal expectancy for this match is 3 goals,
then the line will moved from Over 72.5 goals to Over 69.5 goals. All
bets apply to 90 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus

Kick Offs? If any of the 3pm games are postponed all bets will be void.
If any of the 3pm games are abandoned before half time all bets will be
void, unless the result has already been determined. All bets apply to
90 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus any stoppage
time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs are not included.
6. 2.6RED CARD AWARDED IN THE 3PM KICK OFFS (GMT +1)
* Will there be a red card awarded in the week's Premier League 3pm
(Scheduled) Kick Offs? Will a player be shown a red card during this
match? Cards will only count that are shown to players after they take
the pitch for the first time and before they leave the pitch for the
final time. If any of the 3pm games are postponed all bets will be
void. If any of the 3pm games are abandoned before half time all bets
will be void, unless the result has already been determined. All bets
apply to 90 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus any
stoppage time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs are not included.
7. 2.7FIRST TEAM TO RECEIVE A RED CARD IN THE 3PM KICK OFFS? (GMT +1)
* Which team will be awarded the first red card in this week's Premier
League 3pm (Scheduled) Kick Offs? The result will be determined by the
time on the match clock. If any of the 3pm games are postponed all bets
will be void. If any of the 3pm games are abandoned before half time
all bets will be void, unless the result has already been determined.
All bets apply to 90 minutes of play according to the match officials,
plus any stoppage time. Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs are not included.
8. 2.8GOAL SCORED IN THE FIRST 5 MINS OF THE 3PM KICK OFFS? (GMT +1)

same game). 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 (but need not finish) their respective games for bets to
stand. Own goals will not count. All bets apply to 90 minutes of play
according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time.
Extra-time/penalty shoot-outs are not included.

PART A — INTRODUCTION
1. USE AND INTERPRETATION
The Betfair Exchange Rules and Regulations ("Exchange Rules") are part of
Betfair's terms and conditions.
The Exchange Rules apply to all bets placed on Betfair’s Exchange markets.
The Exchange Rules also apply to Betfair’s Exchange ’Multiples’ product (see
the Multiples section below for further details). The Exchange Rules do not
apply to markets offered or bets placed on the Betfair Sportsbook or on
Betfair’s ‘Fixed Odds’ product. The Exchange Rules consist of the following:
* This INTRODUCTION section (Part A);
* The GENERAL RULES (set out in Part B below);
* The SPECIFIC SPORTS RULES (set out in Part C below – these apply to
certain sports and to financial markets); and
* The MARKET INFORMATION (located on every Betfair market either under the
tab entitled "Rules" or under the ‘Rules’ or ‘i’ button).
The General Rules apply to all bets unless stated otherwise in the Market
Information or the Specific Sports Rules. If there is any inconsistency
between the Specific Sports Rules and the General Rules, the Specific Sports
Rules shall prevail. If there is any inconsistency between the Market
Information and either the General Rules or the Specific Sports Rules, the
Market Information shall prevail, except where the General Rules or Specific
Sports Rules use the phrase 'regardless of what it says in the Market
Information' or similar wording.
For any category or market not referred to in the Specific Sports Rules
(e.g. ’Special Bets’ or beach volleyball), the General Rules and Market
Information will apply.
Please note that there are separate Rules and Regulations for each of our
Exchange and Sportsbook products. The rules governing how markets are
offered, managed and/or settled are not the same for every market on each
product. In certain circumstances, a bet that is settled as a winner on one
product may be settled as a loser on the other product (and vice versa).
Additionally, different settlement rules may apply so that, for example,
bets that are a winner on one product may be settled as a dead heat or be
voided on the other product. Customers must ensure that they familiarise
themselves with the relevant rules that apply to the bets that they place on
Betfair’s products.
2. MARKET INFORMATION
The Market Information is provided for information purposes as an
at-a-glance guide on how Betfair intends to manage the market. The Market
Information may also contain rules on market settlement, however it must
always be read in conjunction with the General Rules and the relevant
Specific Sports Rules and a link to this Rules and Regulations page will
usually be provided in the Market Information for each market.
Whilst the Market Information may give a guide to how markets will be
managed, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair
reserves the right to suspend any market at any time at its sole discretion,
including in order to carry out necessary administration and/or to take any
necessary action to protect Betfair customers.
Betfair shall not amend the Market Information after a market has been
loaded except to correct obvious errors and/or to add wording to clarify the
Market Information where appropriate.
3. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
Betfair customers should make themselves aware of all of the Exchange Rules
affecting any market on which they wish to place a bet. Customers should not
simply rely on the Market Information as the Market Information is unlikely
to contain all of the applicable rules relating to a market.
By their nature ‘Special Bets’ markets are unpredictable so should be
treated with particular caution. Customers are responsible for managing
their own positions at all times in such markets. Customers should pay
particular attention to the Market Information on ‘Special Bets’ markets to
ensure they understand the basis on which the market will be administered
and settled.
4. CUSTOMER BETTING DISPUTES & IBAS
Any customer disputes regarding any bet or market settlement will be
resolved in accordance with the Betfair Dispute Resolution Policy, see here.
Following an IBAS (or equivalent) ruling Betfair reserves the right at its
discretion to take appropriate action which may include, amongst other
things, the following options: (a) reversing settlement for all bets placed
on the relevant market, including making adjustments to customers' accounts
where necessary; or (b) paying out any customer who placed a bet on the
market their 'net position' if that customer would have been in a better
position had the market been settled as IBAS recommended (for example, if a
customer would have won more money had the market been settled in that way,
that customer will be paid the difference between what they originally
received when the market was settled and the amount they would have won had
the market been settled as IBAS recommended).
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS RELATING TO BETTING ON THE EXCHANGE
5. BEST PRICE EXECUTION
The Best Price Execution feature enables customers to get matched at the
best available odds on the Exchange.
With the Best Price Execution feature switched on, if better odds are
available, or become available, after you have placed your bet request, your
bet will automatically be matched at the improved odds.
However, if the Best Price Execution feature is switched off, your bet will
not be matched if better odds are available, or become available, after you
have placed your bet request. Instead your bet request will lapse and you
will be required to resubmit your bet at the improved odds.
The Best Price Execution feature is switched on by default for all customers
and this is Betfair’s recommended setting. By using the Exchange, you agree
that the Best Price Execution feature will be switched on by default.
However, if you are resident in the UK and would like to disable the Best
Price Execution feature, there is a toggle that allows you to switch it off
at any time.
You can find out more about the Best Price Execution feature and how to turn
it off here.
6. MATCH ME
Match Me is a feature which makes it easier to get your bet matched on the
Exchange.
With MatchMe switched on you can be matched at a pre-determined range of
prices if the odds worsen, which will allow you to achieve a more successful
matching rate on the Exchange.
The MatchMe feature is switched off by default for all customers. However,
you can turn it on and off at bet level on the betslip or by going to price
options in settings.
If MatchMe is unable to assist with your bet, it will place it unmatched at
the original price requested.
You can find out more about the MatchMe feature and how to turn it on here.
7. CROSS-MATCHING
In addition to only matching back bets against lay bets on the same
selection, many markets on Betfair benefit from a process called
‘cross-selection matching’ and ‘cross-market matching’ to match bets
(referred to collectively as ‘cross-matching’):
* Cross-selection matching: by using cross-selection matching, it may be
possible for a bet request to be matched at a better price than could be
achieved only by considering back bets and lay bets on the same selection,
by also considering unmatched liquidity on the remaining selections in a
market.
* Cross-market matching: some selections in a particular market are
equivalent to one or more combinations of bets in other markets on the
same event (for example, Match Odds, Asian Handicap, Over/Under and Total
Goals markets). When using cross-market matching, it may be possible for a
bet request to be matched at a better price than could be achieved only by
considering back bets and lay bets on the same selection, by also
considering unmatched liquidity on selections in other markets on the same
event.
With the exception of bets placed at the ‘Betfair Starting Price’, bets on
the Exchange can only be matched at prices that are a valid increment on
Betfair’s odds ladder. This is the case whether it is simply a back bet
matched against a lay bet or a bet that is matched by cross-matching. Where
the bet is matched using cross-matching, the process will match the
customer’s bet at the best price that is a valid increment on Betfair’s odds
ladder.
In certain circumstances, because the cross-matching process can only match
at prices that are a valid increment on Betfair’s odds ladder, this will
result in Betfair generating a small amount of additional revenue from the
cross-matched bet.
Bets will only be matched using the cross-matching process if that would
result in a better price for the customer than matching their bet against an
opposing bet on the same selection.
Regardless of whether or not a bet is matched by cross-matching, where more
than one unmatched bet at the same price could be used to match an incoming
customer bet request, bets are always matched in the order in which they
were received (i.e. first come, first served).
PART B — GENERAL RULES
1. MANAGING MARKETS IN-PLAY
1. 1.1 GENERAL
* For everything other than horseracing and greyhound racing, if a
market is not scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair fails to
suspend the market at the relevant time, then:
* if the event has a scheduled 'off' time, all bets matched after that
scheduled off time will be void; and
* if the event does not have a scheduled 'off' time, Betfair will use
its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual 'off'
and all bets after the time of the 'off' determined by Betfair will
be void.
* For horseracing and greyhound racing, if a market is not scheduled to
be turned in-play but Betfair fails to suspend the market at the
relevant time, then all bets matched after the official 'off' time
will be void.
* In the market rules we may state that the relevant market will not be
'actively managed' by Betfair. Where this is applicable, Betfair aims
to use its reasonable endeavours to suspend in-play markets at the
start of and at the end of the event, however, Betfair cannot
guarantee that such markets will be suspended at the relevant time.
* Betfair will not part-suspend outcomes/selections in an Exchange
market that has been turned in-play (although it may do so in
Sportsbook or Fixed Odds markets).
* Betfair customers are responsible for managing their in-play bets at
all times.
* For the purposes of in-play betting, customers should be aware that
transmissions described as "live" by some broadcasters may actually be
delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on
the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data.
* The availability of an in-play market on our Exchange product for a
particular event does not necessarily mean that there will be an
equivalent in-play market for the same event on our Sportsbook or
Fixed Odds products.
2. 1.2 ALL MARKETS OTHER THAN HORSERACING AND GREYHOUND RACING MARKETS -
NOT SUSPENDING AT THE TIME OF THE 'OFF'
* In relation to markets which are scheduled to be turned in-play,
Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets
in-play at the time of the 'off'. The time of the 'off' for such
markets should be set out in the Market Information. However,
regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair does not
guarantee that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at
the time of the 'off'.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair does not, at
the time of the “off”, either (i) intentionally turn such market
in-play or (ii) suspend the market and cancel unmatched bets, all bets
matched after the time of the “off” (and before the market is
intentionally turned in-play if scheduled to go in-play) will be void.
Betfair will use its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of
the actual “off” (or will othersiwe rely on the scheduled "off time)
and all bets after the time of the “off” as determined by Betfair will
be void. If the event is still on-going Betfair will use its
reasonable endeavours to re-open the market for in-play betting.
3. 1.3 SOCCER MARKETS - NOT SUSPENDING ON THE OCCURRENCE OF A MATERIAL
EVENT AND RULES RELATING TO VAR
Not suspending on the occurrence of a Material Event and cancellations
of Material Events due to VAR
* If Betfair does not suspend a market on time for the occurrence of a
Material Event, Betfair reserves the right to void bets matched after
the Material Event has occurred. Voiding of these bets may take place
during the event or retrospectively once a game is completed.
* Where a Material Event is cancelled due to a determination made via a
video assistant referee, Betfair will void bets as follows for such
Material Event and the cancellation of it:
* For the cancellation of a goal, due to VAR, bets matched between the
time of the goal being scored and the time at which the video
assistant referee finishes the review will be voided.
* For the cancellation of a red card, due to VAR, bets matched after
the time at which the video assistant referee commences the review
will be voided.
The voiding of any such bets may take place during the event or
retrospectively once a game is completed.
* Where a video assistant referee ruling results in the award of a Red
Card or Penalty, such Material Event will be deemed to have occurred
at the time at which the video assistant referee commences a review
relating to such (ultimately awarded) Material Event. In such
circumstances, bets matched prior to the time at which the video
assistant referee commences a review will not be voided.
* For the avoidance of doubt, if the referee decides to award a goal,
retrospectively due to VAR, bets matched between the time of the goal
being scored and the time at which the video assistant referee review
is concluded will be voided unless the VAR review (and subsequent
decision) does not ultimately alter the decision made by the on-field
officials.
Definition of “Material Event”
* For the purpose of these Exchange Rules, a "Material Event" shall mean
a goal being scored, a penalty being awarded (from which a goal is
scored) or a player being sent off.
4. 1.4 HORSERACING AND GREYHOUND RACING MARKETS - NOT SUSPENDING AT THE
TIME OF THE 'OFF'
* In relation to markets which are scheduled to be turned in-play,
Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets
in-play at the time of the 'off'. The time of the 'off' for such
markets should be set out in the Market Information. However,
regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair does not
guarantee that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at
the time of the 'off'.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair does not, at
the official time of the “off”, either (i) turn such market in-play or
(ii) suspend the market and cancel unmatched bets, all bets matched
after the official time of the “off” will be void.
* If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but Betfair does not
suspend the market at the time of the “off” (so unmatched bets are not
cancelled at that time), but the market is intentionally turned
in-play at a later time during the event, all bets matched after the
official time of the “off” will stand, except for Australian Horse
Racing, where all bets matched after the “off” but before the point in
time that Betfair turns the market in-play, will be void.
2. RESULTS AND MARKET SETTLEMENT
1. 2.1GENERAL
* Markets will be settled as set out in the Market Information and/or
the Specific Sports Rules.
* Where the Market Information or Specific Sports Rules do not specify
how and on what basis a market will be settled, markets will be
settled on the official result of the relevant governing body
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the
result (except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the
initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error
in reporting the result).
* If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the
result will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using
information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new
information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of
settlement, then Betfair shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
(i) whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of
this new information; or (ii) whether or not to wait for further
information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the
market. Except where Betfair has announced that it is waiting for
further information, any information that comes into the public domain
more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be
considered by Betfair (regardless of whether or not such information
may have led to a different result).
* In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result,
Betfair reserves the right to suspend settlement of any market for an
unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to the
reasonable satisfaction of Betfair. Betfair reserves the right to void
any market if the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved
to Betfair's reasonable satisfaction.
2. 2.2RESETTLEMENTS
* Markets are generally settled shortly after the end of the event in
question. Betfair may settle (or part-settle) some markets before the
official result is declared (or may increase a customer's 'available
to bet' balance by the minimum potential winnings of that customer on
a given market) purely as a customer service benefit. However, Betfair
reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if: (i) the
official result is different to the result on which Betfair initially
settled the market (for example, a horseracing result being changed by
the relevant governing body shortly after a race, but before the
result is official); or (ii) if the whole market is eventually voided
(e.g. for an abandoned event).
* Betfair reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a market if a
market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error).
* If Betfair resettles a market, this may lead to amendments being made
to a customer's balance to reflect changes in market settlement.
3. 2.3NON-RUNNERS, WITHDRAWALS AND DISQUALIFICATIONS
* Subject always to Betfair's right to void bets under its terms and
conditions or for any exception under the Exchange Rules, if a market
contains a statement that says "All bets stand, run or not" (or
something similar) in the Market Information, then all bets on a team
or competitor will stand regardless of whether or not the team or
competitor starts the event or takes any part in the event.
* Where the Market Information does not stipulate that all bets will
stand regardless of participation, customers should refer to the
relevant Specific Sports Rules.
* If a team or competitor is disqualified, withdraws or forfeits after
starting an event they will be deemed a loser providing at least one
other team or competitor completes the event. If no team or competitor
completes an event (having started) then all bets will be void except
for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally determined.
4. 2.4'WINNER WITH [NAMED SELECTION]' MARKETS
* Betfair may from time to time offer markets that are dependant on the
participation of a particular competitor. If the competitor named
either in a 'Winner with …' market title or in the Market Information
does not participate in the tournament or event then all bets on the
market will be void. For example, if there was a "Winner with Federer"
tennis market, all bets on the market would be void if Federer did not
participate in the tournament. However, if any other competitor did
not participate, then bets would stand.
* A team or competitor will be deemed to have participated if they have
taken part to the extent necessary to record an official result or
classification (including any disqualification but excluding any "did
not start" or equivalent classification).
3. ABANDONMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, where a market has
no rules in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information in
relation to an abandonment, cancellation and/or postponement the
following shall apply.
* In relation to any match, fixture, game, individual event, race or
similar: If the event is not completed within three days after the
originally scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this
event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been
unconditionally determined.
* In relation to any tournament, competition or similar: If the event is
not completed within three days after the originally scheduled completion
date, then any markets relating to the event will be settled in
accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body,
providing such a decision is given within 90 days after the scheduled
completion date. If no official ruling is announced in this 90 day
period, then bets on any market relating to this event will be void,
except for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally
determined. If a market is to be voided but has been part-settled as a
courtesy to Betfair customers, then such part-settled bets will be
reversed and all bets on the market will be void.
* Betfair will decide (acting reasonably) whether a market relates to a
match (or similar) or a tournament (or similar). However, by way of
example, the following shall apply: (i) Europa League outright =
tournament; (ii) Champions League Group outright = tournament; (iii) Top
Premiership goalscorer = tournament; (iv) 72-hole Golf Match bet = match;
(v) Ryder Cup outright = tournament; (vi) Golf tournament outright =
tournament; (vii) Tennis Tournament outright = tournament;(viii) 5-day
Cricket Test Match = match; (ix) Ashes Series outright winner =
tournament; (x) Motor Race (e.g. Grand Prix) = match.
4. CHANGE OF VENUE
Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if change of venue is
not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information
then the following shall apply:
* For any team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after the market is
loaded by Betfair, all bets will be void only if the new venue is a home
ground of the original away team
* For all categories or markets other than team sports: if the scheduled
venue is changed after the market is loaded by Betfair, all bets will
stand.
* If there is a change in the type of scheduled surface (e.g. a hockey
match switching from grass to astro-turf) after the market has been
loaded, all bets will stand.
5. PERIODS OF TIME
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if not dealt with in
the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information then the following
shall apply.
* Unless otherwise stated, all bets on soccer markets apply to 90 minutes
of play according to the match officials, plus any added injury or
stoppage time. However extra-time and penalty shoot-outs are not
included. The only exceptions are for: matches that are scheduled for a
duration other than the standard 90 minutes (e.g. 60, 70, 80 or 120
minutes) as agreed by the laws of the competition in which they are
competing or agreed by both sides prior to kick-off. In such cases, if
the match is played in the traditional format of two halves, all bets
will be settled at the end of the agreed game length which includes time
added on by the referee for stoppages (whether the game length is
advertised by Betfair or not). If the game is played in an unusual format
(e.g. 3 or 4 periods) then all half-time markets will be voided but all
other markets will be settled on the basis of the score at the end of the
match (including any time added on by the referee for stoppages).
* Some markets refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event
(e.g. time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time
after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at
the end of the regular time period. For example, if a goal is scored in
first half stoppage-time in a soccer match it will be deemed to have
occurred on 45 minutes.
* All bets apply to the relevant full 'regular time' period including
stoppage time. Any extra-time and/or penalty shoot-out is not included.
* References within these Rules and Regulations to a particular number of
'days' shall mean the end of the day local time after the expiry of the
specified number of days. For example, if a rugby match is originally
scheduled for the 1st of December, then the rule that allows the match to
be completed within three days after the originally scheduled completion
date (see Paragraph 3 above) would mean that the deadline for completion
of that match would be 23.59:59 on the 4th of December.
6. MATCH BETS
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. For example, for match bets
on Golf markets the rules are set out in the Specific Sports Rules.
However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market
Information then the following shall apply.
* 'Match Bets' for one-off events are determined by the competitor or team
with the best score, time or finishing position in the event. If none of
the competitors or teams involved in the match bet complete the event or
register a score, time or finishing position then bets are void unless
specified otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market
Information. Any competitor or team not completing an event or
registering a score, time or finishing position having taken part in the
match bet event will be settled as a loser providing at least one other
team or competitor completes that event or registers a score, time or
finishing position.
* 'Match Bets' for progress in a competition or event with multiple heats
or rounds are determined by the competitor or team which qualifies to the
furthest round (whether it takes part in the further round or not) or
with the best score, time or finishing position in the final or same heat
of that competition or event. If the relevant competitors or teams fail
to qualify in the same round of the competition but in different heats
then dead-heat rules will apply, irrespective of the finishing positions
in their respective heats. Markets will be part-settled after the end of
each round and any subsequent disqualifications, penalties or amendments
to results or qualifications will not have any effect on the market.
Where one or more of the competitors or teams are disqualified, for the
purposes of settlement, the disqualified competitor or team will be
deemed to have progressed further in the competition or event than all
those eliminated from the competition or event prior to the
disqualification, and will be deemed to have finished last (or joint last
if there is more than one disqualification) of those still competing in
the competition or event. Disqualification will be considered to have
taken place at the time of the competitor's or team's removal from the
competition or event by the relevant governing body, rather than at the
time of the event which caused disqualification.
* If one of the competitors or teams does not take any part in the event,
then all relevant match bets will be void.
* If an event or tournament is abandoned or reduced in duration such that
any competitor or team fails to complete the match bet, event or
tournament for any reason other than withdrawal or disqualification then
all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been
unconditionally determined.
7. "TO QUALIFY" MARKETS
* Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific
Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if not dealt with in
the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information then the following
shall apply.
* Any 'to qualify' market (e.g. "to reach the final" markets) will be
determined by the competitor or team that qualifies under the terms set
out in Market Information, whether or not they take part in the next
round or event for which they have qualified. Markets will be settled
after the qualifying stage and any subsequent disqualification or
amendment to the result will not count.
8. DEAD HEATS
* Unless stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market
Information the Dead Heat Rule applies to bets on a market where there
are more winners than expected (as set out in the Market Information).
* For each bet matched on a relevant winning selection, the stake money is
first reduced in proportion by multiplying it by the sum of the number of
winners expected (as set out in the Market Information), divided by the
number of actual winners (i.e. stake multiplied by (number of winners
expected/number of actual winners)). The winnings are then paid to the
successful backers on this 'reduced stake' (reduced stake multiplied by
traded price) and the remaining stake money is paid to the appropriate
layers.
* For example, assume there is a dead heat for first place between three
horses. 'Client A' has backed one of the winners for a stake of 300 at
the traded price of 4.0 and 'Client B' has taken the other side of this
bet. When the event is settled, the stake (300) is multiplied by 1/3
(i.e. the number of expected winners (1) divided by the number of actual
winners (3)) to calculate the reduced stake (100) and the remainder given
to the layer (200). The backer then receives the traded price matched
(4.0) multiplied by the reduced stake (4 x 100 = 400). In this example,
Client A's net winnings are 100 (400 payout minus the original 300
stake), and Client B's net losses are 100. Alternatively, this can be
viewed as the full amount paid to the traded price divided by the number
of dead-heaters. In the above example this would be 300 at the traded
price of 4.0 (1200) divided by 3; making 400 payout and 100 net winnings.
* By way of another example, assume there is an outright winner in a golf
tournament but 7 players tie for 2nd place. In the "top 5 finish" market,
after settling on the outright winner in the top 5 market there would be
4 other designated winners places available. 'Client A' has backed one of
the winners for 300 at the traded price of 4.0 and 'Client B' has taken
the other side of this bet. When the event is settled, the stake (300) is
multiplied by 4/7 (i.e. the number of expected winners (4) divided by the
number of actual winners (7)) to calculate the reduced stake (171.43) and
the remainder given to the layer (128.57). The backer then receives the
traded price matched (4.0) multiplied by the reduced stake (4 x 171.43 =
685.72). In this example, Client A's net winnings are 385.72 (685.72
payout minus the original 300 stake), and Client B's net losses are
385.72.
* In relation to customers whose betting counterparty is Betfair, for the
purposes of this section of the Exchange Rules dealing with dead heats,
the terms 'Client A', 'Client B' and 'appropriate layers' should, where
relevant, be read as 'Betfair'.
9. RULES FOR BETFAIR STARTING PRICE
* Betfair's Starting Price ('SP' or 'Betfair SP') is available on the
Exchange. Exchange SP bets (‘SP bets’) are therefore a type of Exchange
bet. The Betfair SP is calculated by Betfair, by balancing all SP bets
and other Exchange bets when the market is suspended at the 'off' of the
relevant event. The details of this calculation are provided directly
below.
* Please note that for all Betfair customers, an SP bet cannot be cancelled
once it has been placed.
* A bet at Betfair SP is a fixed odds bet, with the odds on each selection
being calculated and bets matched when the event starts. The odds are
calculated by matching SP backers and other Exchange backers against SP
layers and other Exchange layers. The inclusion of other Exchange bets in
the SP reconciliation is necessary to ensure that: SP backers get the
benefit of unmatched Exchange offers to lay if those offers could
increase the SP; and SP layers get the benefit of unmatched Exchange
offers to back if those offers could reduce the SP. Including unmatched
other Exchange in the SP reconciliation also ensures that the bets of
other Exchange backers and layers, which would otherwise lapse, are
matched where possible.
* The minimum liability for a bet placed at Betfair SP is £10 for a lay bet
and £1 for a back bet (or the currency equivalent in each case).
* Example 1: on selection A there is £1,000 of backers' stakes and £6,000
of layers' liabilities at Betfair SP and there are £500 of unmatched
other Exchange back bets available to lay at an average of 5.0. If we
ignored the Exchange market in this case the SP would be 7.0. However
this would leave other Exchange back bets, that could also have been
matched at their requested price against SP layers, unmatched. Therefore
the Betfair SP will be 5.0 and all SP backers and SP layers will be
matched at that price. The £500 of Exchange backers' stakes will also be
matched at their requested price of 5.0 against the SP layers.
* Example 2: on selection B there are £831 of backers' stakes and £4,428 of
layers' liabilities at Betfair SP and the following unmatched other
Exchange lay bets, available to back: £20 at 6.8, £31.13 at 6.6 and £100
at 6.4. In this case the Betfair SP will be 6.68. This is calculated by
including the £20 available to back at 6.8 and the £31.13 available to
back at 6.6 and balancing those amounts against the SP backers' stakes
and SP layers' liabilities. The £100 available to back on the Exchange at
6.4 remains unmatched as to include any of this amount would lead to an
imbalance between SP backers and SP layers.
* For more details on how Betfair undertakes the SP reconciliation process,
please see the FAQ section of the Betfair SP microsite which is located
at the following URL: www.betfair.com/betfairsp.
* The SP is calculated to six decimal places for each selection, though it
may be displayed in the relevant market view (or in any form/results data
provided by Betfair) to two decimal places, rounded up or down as
applicable. After reconciliation, the full SP on each selection is
available by clicking on the relevant individual runner graph.
* If for whatever reason the site is unavailable when an event starts or
the SP cannot otherwise be reconciled at the 'off', Betfair will
determine the SP using all available information. For the avoidance of
doubt this information will not be limited to betting activity on the
relevant Betfair market(s). Also in these circumstances, a licensed
betting operator within the Betfair group may act as risk counterparty to
SP bets if necessary to ensure a fair SP. The Betfair personnel involved
in determining the SP in such circumstances will have no undeclared
personal or other interest in the SP in question.
* If the SP reconciliation process is undertaken prematurely (for example
if a horserace is turned in-play in error), then Betfair will endeavour
to reverse the reconciliation so that the SP is determined when the event
actually starts. There may however be circumstances in which this is not
possible, in which case the SP will be based on the initial
reconciliation.
* In cases where an SP reconciliation is reversed: SP bets (including SP
limit bets), 'At In-play: Take SP' bets and 'At In-play: Keep' bets will
all revert to their status before the reconciliation; and 'At In-play:
Cancel' bets will either remain cancelled if not matched as part of the
reconciliation process, or if matched as part of the reconciliation
process, will revert to their unmatched status before the reconciliation.
* If the SP reconciliation process is undertaken later than scheduled (i.e.
after the event has started) and Betfair determines that a material event
has occurred (this will generally mean that the event is not turned
in-play), the SP will be determined based solely on SP bets (and ‘At
In-play: Take SP’ bets which are unmatched when Betfair suspends the
relevant market), placed before the 'off'. This means that ‘At In-play:
Take SP’ bets matched after the off, will be made void and not included
in the reconciliation process. In addition SP bets placed after the 'off'
will be voided. However, if the SP reconciliation process is undertaken
later than scheduled but Betfair determines that no material event has
occurred, all bets will stand.
* If a Betfair SP 'each way' option is offered this will be processed as
two separate bets: a win bet at SP and a 'to be placed' bet at SP.
* If for any reason unmatched bets are cancelled prior to a market going
in-play, then any unmatched bets that have been selected to 'At In-play:
Take SP' will be converted to Betfair SP bets. Once those bets are
converted, they cannot be cancelled.
1. 10.1PARTY AGAINST WHOM YOU ARE BETTING AT BETFAIR SP
* When you place a bet at SP you are betting against other Betfair
customers. However during the reconciliation of the Betfair SP,
Betfair acts as counterparty in order to balance liabilities between
Betfair SP bets and other Exchange bets.
2. 10.2PLACING A BETFAIR SP BET
Selecting the 'SP' button in the market view gives customers two
different ways to request an SP bet. These are as follows:
* The first way to request a bet at SP is by leaving the 'Set SP odds
limit' box unticked at the top right of the bet manager. For a back
bet you are required to enter the stake you wish to bet on the
selection. For a lay bet you are required to enter the liability you
are prepared to risk against the selection – in other words the amount
that you are prepared to lose, should the selection win (or be placed
as applicable).
* The second way to request a bet at SP is to select the 'Set SP odds
limit' option. Using this you can request a bet at SP conditional upon
minimum SP odds in the case of a back bet, or maximum SP odds in the
case of a lay bet. If Betfair's SP is shorter than the minimum price
requested by a backer or is longer than the maximum price requested by
a layer, then the relevant bet will lapse when the event starts. If
Betfair's SP is longer than the minimum price requested by a backer or
is shorter than the maximum price requested by a layer, the bet will
be matched at the SP. Where an SP is equal to the price limit
specified by customers, those bets will be included based on the time
they were submitted, on a first come, first served basis as is the
existing convention for other Exchange bets. This means that such bets
may be unmatched or partially matched.
* Please note that if a non-runner cannot be removed by Betfair from the
relevant market until after the completion of the event, the
application to all bets matched at or before the "off" (including SP
bets) of any reduction factor, may mean that the matched price for an
SP back bet with an odds limit requested, is adjusted to a price below
the lower limit requested. It may also mean that an SP lay bet request
with maximum odds requested, may not be matched even though the odds
on the selection, after any post-race adjustment for the late
non-runner, is below the maximum odds requested.
* If an SP bet with an odds limit is requested, the minimum/maximum odds
requested can be shortened in the case of a back bet or a lengthened
in the case of a lay bet at any time before the event starts. However,
as mentioned above, an SP bet request cannot actually be cancelled by
a customer once it has been placed. Details of the impact of
non-runners on the Betfair SP are provided below.
3. 10.3EXCHANGE BETS WHICH ARE UNMATCHED AT THE 'OFF'
* A normal Exchange bet is placed by choosing the odds of your selection
from the market view (as opposed to clicking on the 'SP' of your
selection). When such an Exchange bet is fully or partially unmatched
it can be adjusted and cancelled in the normal course. Previously,
unmatched bets were automatically cancelled when a market was
suspended at the 'off' of the relevant event. You can now choose to
either have your unmatched Exchange bet convert to an SP bet when the
market suspends at the start of the event, or to have the bet
'persist' when the event goes in-play (see the 'keep' option below).
* In order to convert your unmatched Exchange bet to an SP bet when the
market suspends you should select the 'At In-Play: Take SP' option in
the bet manager. If there is a non-runner in a win market with a
reduction factor of at least 2.5%, or a non-runner in a place market
with a reduction factor of at least 4%, it is Betfair's policy to
cancel unmatched lay bets on all other runners in the market. In the
case of any such non-runner, instead of being cancelled a lay bet for
which the 'At In-Play: Take SP' option has been selected, will
automatically convert to an SP bet. After this conversion the bet
cannot be cancelled. Otherwise, unlike an SP bet, you can choose to
cancel an Exchange bet once it has been placed, even if you have
chosen for the bet to persist or to convert to an SP bet at the start
of the event.
* If you choose to convert an unmatched Exchange lay bet to an SP bet,
the liability of your Exchange lay bet will be converted into a
liability for the SP bet. Your liability for that SP bet will never be
more than the liability for the Exchange bet you had specified.
However, the amount you can win on the SP lay bet may differ from the
amount you would have won had the Exchange bet been matched, depending
on the final SP.
4. 10.4ADJUSTMENTS TO SP BETS FOR NON-RUNNERS
* For SP back bets, Betfair will at no point amend either the stake or
the odds requested by a customer, despite any non-runners or
withdrawals. However customers who have selected the SP limit option
can reduce the minimum SP odds they are prepared to accept on a
selection.
* If you place a Betfair Starting Price (BSP) bet and we are unable to
remove a non-runner until after the race has completed, the BSP Price
that is calculated at the race start may change after the non-runner
has been removed. The Reduction Factor of the non-runner will be
applied to the original BSP odds generated, which will return a
revised price for your bet.
* For SP lay bets on win markets, Betfair will reduce a customer's
liability based on the reduction factor(s) of any non-runner(s) and
the reduction factor of the runner on which the customer's bet has
been placed. This is to ensure that the balance between the backers'
stakes and the layers' liability reflects the revised market after the
runner has been removed. For example if a horse with a 50% reduction
factor becomes a non-runner, then another horse in the same market
priced at about 5 (i.e. a reduction factor of 20%) will change to a
price of about 2.5. Therefore the liability on a £200 lay bet on that
runner will need to change to a liability of about £75 to ensure that
a balancing back bet will have the same £50 stake. This is done by
multiplying the liability by 37.5% (i.e. 100%-(50%/(100%-20%))).
* Where an SP lay bet in a win market has a maximum odds limit
specified, this limit will be reduced by the reduction factor of any
non-runner, if the non-runner has a reduction factor of at least 2.5%.
* For SP lay bets on place markets, Betfair will still reduce a
customer's liability based on the reduction factor(s) of any
non-runner(s) but the calculation will be slightly different, in line
with the application of place market reduction factors. The liability
will be reduced by the reduction factor of the removed runner. Where
the lay bet on a place market has a maximum odds limit specified, the
potential winnings on the bet (i.e. the odds – 1) will be reduced by
the reduction factor of the removed runner.
* Where an SP lay bet in a place market has a maximum odds limit
specified, this limit will be reduced by the reduction factor of any
non-runner.
* SP lay bets will not be cancelled when there is a non-runner.
5. 10.5SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR SP BETS FOR NON-RUNNERS IN GREYHOUND RACING
MARKETS
* ALL SP bets will stand so long as your trap selection is not vacant or
after your bet placement a reserve runner is not subsequently entered
to run from your trap selection.
* ALL unmatched ‘Convert to SP’ bets will be cancelled when a reserve is
added or a vacant trap removed.
10. 'KEEP' BETS OPTION
* For markets that are scheduled to be turned in-play at the 'off', a
customer can request that an unmatched Exchange bet should not be
cancelled when the market is turned in-play. This is done by selecting
the 'At In-Play: Keep' option in the bet manager (and confirming that
request) and means that the unmatched bet persists when other unmatched
bets are cancelled at the start of the event.
* As described above, when a non-runner is removed from a horseracing
market (apart for late withdrawals as described in the next bullet point
below), it is Betfair's policy to cancel unmatched offers to lay all
other horses in the market if the non-runner has a reduction factor of
2.5% or greater for win markets, or 4.0% or greater for place markets. In
these circumstances offers to lay a horse with the 'At In-Play: Keep'
option selected will not be cancelled. Instead the lay odds offered in
place markets will be reduced in proportion with the reduction factors of
any non-runner(s) and the same will apply in win markets providing the
relevant non-runner has a reduction factor of at least 2.5%.
* When there is a late withdrawal, Betfair may not have time to remove the
non-runner from the market before turning it in-play. In such cases if
Betfair is able to determine that the late withdrawal is a material
runner (i.e. a selection with a reduction factor of approx 20% or greater
in the win market), it reserves the right to cancel ALL lay 'keep' bets
(in both the win and ‘to be placed’ markets) before turning the market
in-play. If Betfair does not cancel lay 'keep' bets in the case of a late
withdrawal (for example, it may not be possible to know which horse is
withdrawn, at the time of the off), any such bets placed before the off
and matched in-play will remain at the original selected price. This
means that those lay 'keep' bets will not be subject to any reduction
factor which as a result of the late withdrawal, will be applied after
the completion of the race to bets matched at or before the 'off'.
* Otherwise, in exceptional cases Betfair reserves the right to cancel
'keep' bets to protect customers but, unless stipulated in the market
rules or the market information, the general principle is that at no
point will a 'keep' bet be cancelled by Betfair unless it remains
unmatched when the market is closed (for the final time) at the end of
the event.
* For the avoidance of doubt this means that (for example) when a Material
Event occurs in a soccer match and other unmatched bets are cancelled
before the market is reopened, a keep bet will not be cancelled.
11. RULES FOR TOTE BETTING
* When you place a Tote bet on the Betfair platform (for example a UK or
South African Tote bet), you are betting against Betfair as counterparty
to your bet. Betfair will then strike a corresponding bet into the
relevant Tote pool as applicable.
* A link to the rules which apply to Tote bets struck with Betfair as
counterparty is provided within each of the relevant Tote betting pages
on the Betfair website. If there is any conflict between those rules and
either: the equivalent rules available on the relevant Tote website (for
example on the UK Tote website in the case of UK Tote bets); or the
equivalent rules applied by the relevant host racetrack, the rules on the
relevant Tote website or applied by the relevant host racetrack, will
prevail.
12. RULES FOR CASH OUT AND AUTO CASH OUT
CASH OUT
* Cash Out is a feature which is offered on various betting markets on the
Betfair Exchange.
* Cash Out is an easy way to lock in a profit, or cut your losses, without
having to wait for the event to finish. If you decide to Cash Out,
Betfair will automatically place further bets on the Betfair market to
lock in your position. Customers should be aware that, if a selection is
removed from a market, this may impact Cash Outs that were implemented
prior to the removal of the selection and customers may receive a lesser
amount than was displayed on the Cash Out button.
* If you make a Cash Out request, you will be notified whether or not your
request has been successful. Your request to Cash Out is not guaranteed
to be accepted and may be unsuccessful if, for example, the market
suspends or the odds move before your request has been processed.
* If your Cash Out request is successful, a ‘success’ message will be shown
and your bet(s) (or the relevant portion of your bet(s)) will be settled
at the time on which all other bets on the same market are settled (at
which time any winnings will be returned to your account).
* If your Cash Out request is unsuccessful, a message will be shown which
gives the reason why and a new Cash Out offer may be offered to you.
* Cash Out requests made in-play may take longer to process because of the
in-play bet delay.
* Cash Out may not be available at times where there is low liquidity in a
market.
* Cash Out is not currently available on all Betfair Exchange markets - a
Cash Out icon will be displayed for the markets that support Cash Out.
See the Help page for more details on when Cash Out may not be available.
* Cash Out on the Betfair Exchange applies on a “per-market” rather than a
“per-bet” basis. Accordingly, if you have placed two separate bets on the
same outcome, you may cash out of both bets or neither bet (i.e. you will
not be able to cash out of one of the bets only).
* Using Cash Out may mean you will opt out of and no longer be eligible for
a particular promotion. See the terms and conditions of the promotion for
further details.
* Betfair reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a Cash Out if the
bet or a market is settled in error (for example, due to a human or
technical error) or if the bet or a market is subsequently declared void.
If Betfair resettles a bet, this may lead to amendments being made to a
customer's balance to reflect changes in bet settlement.
* Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Cash Out feature at
any time.
* Please be aware that if you place a bet with the intention of
subsequently using the Cash Out function, there can never be a guarantee
that Cash Out will be available at the point you wish to place the
subsequent bet (this is the case regardless of whether or not the
unavailability of the Cash Out service is due to a matter beyond our
reasonable control).
AUTO CASH OUT
* Auto Cash Out is a product which is offered on a range of markets for
which Cash Out is available on the Betfair Exchange.
* Auto Cash Out allows you to set the profit level at which you would like
to be automatically cashed out of your bets on a given market (for
further details of the standard Cash Out product which is offered on the
Betfair Exchange, see the sub-section above).
* Simply set your auto cash out level and, should the winnings which you
would achieve by cashing out reach that level at any time, Betfair will
attempt to automatically cash out the bets which you have placed on the
relevant market. This means that, if your Auto Cash Out is successful,
you will receive the amount at which you pre-set your Auto Cash Out (i.e.
your original stake and the specified profit). However, as with Betfair’s
standard Cash Out product, you will not be able to win the same amount as
if your bet had been settled successfully.
* Should your Auto Cash Out be successful, a message will appear on your
screen to confirm this.
* You will not be able to see when the Auto Cash Out service is attempting
to cash you out.
* Please note that Auto Cash Out is not guaranteed. In some circumstances,
Betfair may be unable to automatically cash out your bet(s) despite this
appearing to be possible on the relevant sections of Betfair’s
website/app.
* Once an Auto Cash Out has successfully occurred, your My Bets page will
list the betting transactions which occurred in order to effect the Auto
Cash Out.
* Where you have selected Auto Cash Out for a given market and that Cash
Out has successfully occurred, any and all unmatched bets that you have
placed on the same market will be automatically cancelled.
* Where you have placed bets on a number of selections in the same market
and one or more of those selections is settled as a losing bet before the
market is fully settled (e.g. because it is no longer possible for the
selection(s) in question to be successful), any auto cash out rule which
you have applied to your other selections on that market will
automatically be cancelled.
* Betfair reserves the right to suspend or disable the Auto Cash Out
feature at any time.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
* All references to time periods in the Exchange Rules relate to the time
zone in which the event takes place. For example, a reference to the
start time of a football match, relates to the local kick-off time.
* All information supplied by Betfair is done so in good faith. However,
Betfair cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions in respect of
any information, such as the posting of prices, runners, times, scores,
results or general statistics.
* Betfair reserves the right to correct any obvious errors and shall take
all reasonable steps to ensure markets are administered with integrity
and transparency.
* If an incorrect team or competitor name is displayed (excluding minor
spelling mistakes) or the incorrect number of teams, competitors or
outcomes is displayed in any complete market or a market is otherwise
loaded using incorrect information (for example the application of an
incorrect exposure algorithm or a cross matching tool utilising an
incorrect algorithm) or includes any obvious error such as the incorrect
deployment of the cross matching tool, then Betfair reserves the right to
suspend the market and (providing it acts reasonably) to void all bets
matched on the market.
* Customers are responsible for ensuring that they satisfy themselves that
the selection on which they place a bet is their intended selection. For
example, in the case of a competitor bearing the same name as another
individual not competing in the relevant event, the onus is on the
customer to ensure that they know which competitor Betfair has loaded
into the relevant market and to ensure that they are placing their bet on
their chosen competitor.
* Betfair reserves the right at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion to suspend an Exchange market without suspending any
corresponding or related Sportsbook or Fixed Odds market, or to suspend
or stop offering a Sportsbook or Fixed Odds market without suspending any
corresponding or related Exchange market.
* Betfair may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend
betting on a market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than
anticipated by the Exchange Rules). In the interests of maintaining
integrity and fairness in the markets, Betfair may also void certain bets
in a market or void a whole market in its entirety.
* Please be aware that if you place related or corresponding bets on a
combination of Betfair’s Exchange, Sportsbook, Fixed Odds and/or
Multiples products (and/ or the betting products of other third parties),
it is possible for bets on one product to be voided in accordance with
Betfair’s terms and conditions, while bets on another product may stand.
You should note that Betfair will have no liability to you in the event
that one or more of your bets on Betfair’s products are amended or voided
in accordance with Betfair’s terms and conditions, even if your other
related bets stand (and even if you have specifically relied on bets you
have placed on one product in order to place related bets on another
product).
* Betfair reserves the right to amend the Exchange Rules at any time. Any
such revision will be binding and effective immediately on the posting of
such rule changes on betfair.com and any markets loaded after the new
Exchange Rules have been posted shall be governed by the new Exchange
Rules.
* Betfair reserves the right to cancel unmatched bets to protect customers
at any time.
* On the settlement of any market, amounts relating to
* winnings/losses on bets; and
* commission charges
will be rounded up or down to the nearest two decimal places (with the
exception that rounding will always be down (and never up) in respect of
amounts relating to winnings/losses in respect of BSP bets). By way of
example, £3.333, will be settled as £3.33, whereas £3.335, will be
settled as £3.34 (except that it will be settled as £3.33 in respect of
an amount relating to winnings/losses in respect of BSP bets).
* The Exchange Rules have been prepared in various languages other than
English for translation purposes. In the event of any differences between
the English version and (if applicable) the translated version in the
local language of your country of residence, the version most beneficial
to the customer shall prevail.
PART C — SPECIFIC SPORTS RULES
1. AMERICAN FOOTBALL
* All markets will be settled on the result including overtime unless
stated otherwise in these Betfair American Football Rules or in the
Market Information (e.g. the half time/full time market) or where the
market has been unconditionally determined. If the game results in a tie
after overtime all bets on the outright match winner market will be void.
* If a match does not start on the scheduled starting date and is not
completed within three days of the scheduled completion date, all bets
will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally
determined.
* If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed, then within three
days of the scheduled start date:(a) at least 55 minutes of play must
have elapsed; or (b) an official result must be 'called' by the relevant
governing body; otherwise all bets will be void, except for those on
markets which have been unconditionally determined. In those instances,
if the scores are tied then all bets on the outright match winner market
will be void.
* For 'Individual player' markets, bets shall be void on any player who
does not start in any down during the match.
2. ATHLETICS
* Where there is a presentation ceremony, markets will be settled on the
official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the
ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to
the result.
* If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in
accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in
reporting the result).
* Unless stated otherwise in the Market Information, if a track or field
event is abandoned, cancelled or postponed and not completed within 7
days of the scheduled completion date, all bets will be void except for
those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
3. AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL
* Bets apply to regular time excluding overtime. However bets on "Finals"
matches apply to regular time including overtime except for those on
markets which have been unconditionally determined or as stated otherwise
in the Market Information (e.g. half-time/full-time markets). If the game
results in a tie, Betfair dead-heat rules apply to bets on the match odds
market.
* If a match does not start on the scheduled starting date and is not
completed within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be
void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally
determined.
* If a match starts but is abandoned or postponed before half-time and not
completed within three days of the scheduled start date then the match
shall be deemed to be a tie and settled on Betfair dead-heat rules. If a
match starts but is abandoned or postponed in the second half and not
completed within three days of the scheduled start date then the match
shall be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body.
In both instances, bets on the match odds market will be settled as set
out above and all other bets will be void except for those on markets
which have been unconditionally determined.
* All bets relating to any individual player will stand if they are listed
in any 22 player squad on the match day, irrespective of whether they

* If a Tournament/Round is restarted from the beginning, all bets placed

5. E.) MATCHPLAY HOLE-BY-HOLE MARKETS (I.E. PERFORMANCE OF PLAYERS AGAINST
EACH OTHER ON A GIVEN HOLE)
* With the exception of a player or team conceding a hole (where they
are deemed a loser), if a hole is not completed by any player or team

11. GREYHOUND RACING
1. A.) GENERAL
* All bets (excluding those struck on ante-post and Australian licensed
markets) are placed on trap numbers. Greyhound names are displayed
for information purposes only.
* Markets will be determined according to the official result at the
time the track gives the result green light status, either in the
form of an announcement or by display. Subsequent disqualifications,
appeals or amendments to the result will be disregarded.
* If a non-runner or reserve runner is declared, then all bets prior to
the update of the market on Betfair will be void and all unmatched
bets including ‘Take SP’ and ‘keep’ bets will be cancelled (except
for certain SP bets as set out in Paragraph 10.5 of Part B above).
* If there are no finishers in any race or any race is declared void
before the official result is declared then all bets will be void.
* If the scheduled venue is changed after the market has been loaded by
Betfair, all bets will be void.
* In ante-post markets, all bets on individual greyhounds stand whether
the greyhound runs or not. All ante-post bets will be void if the
competition is abandoned or the venue is changed.
2. B.) TRAP CHALLENGE
* Bets on 'Trap challenge' markets are based on which trap results in
the most winners during a race meeting, unless stated otherwise in
the Market Information.
* These markets are unaffected by any changes due to non-runners or
reserve runners.
* If a race results in a dead heat each trap will receive a half-win,
with a 3-way dead heat giving a one third-win, and so on.
* Standard dead heat rules apply if two or more traps have an equal
number of winners at the end of both meetings.
* If a whole meeting is abandoned all bets are void. However if at
least one race has been completed then bets on these markets will
stand.
3. C.) MULTI-TRAP OR MULTIPLIED TRAP NUMBERS
* 'Multi-trap' or 'multiplied trap numbers' bets are on the cumulative
sum of the winning trap multiplied by the second trap for each race
during a race meeting, unless stated otherwise in the Market
Information. If the cumulative sum is not a round number then that
sum shall be rounded up to give the applicable cumulative sum.
* These markets are unaffected by any changes due to non-runners or
reserve runners.
* If a race is cancelled, void or abandoned or if there is only one
finisher in a race, an eight runner-greyhound races will be allocated
20 points and all other races will be allocated 12 points.
* If a whole meeting is abandoned all bets are void however if at least
one race has been completed then bets on these markets will stand
with the remaining races allocated 20 points for eight runner
greyhound races and 12 points for all other races.
* Re-run races will be treated as cancelled races.
* If there is a dead heat for the winner between two greyhounds then to
calculate the applicable multi-trap number for that race the trap
numbers for the greyhounds involved in the dead heat will be
multiplied by each other to give the applicable multi-trap number.
* If there is a dead heat for the winner between three or more
greyhounds then to calculate the applicable multi-trap number for
that race the trap numbers for the greyhounds involved in the dead
heat will be added up and divided by the number of greyhounds
involved in the dead heat and the resulting number will be multiplied
by itself to give the applicable multi-trap number (even if not a
round number). By way of example: traps 1, 3 and 6 dead heat for
first. Add these numbers up gives 10; divide this number by the
number of greyhounds in the dead heat (3) which gives a resulting
number of 3.33; multiply 3.33 by itself to give 11.11.
* If there is a dead heat for the runner up between two or more
greyhounds then to calculate the applicable multi-trap number for
that race the trap numbers for the greyhounds involved in the dead
heat will be added up and divided by the number of greyhounds
involved in the dead heat and the resulting number will be multiplied
by the number of the winner to give the applicable multi-trap number
(even if not a round number). By way of example: trap 1 wins and
traps 3 and 6 dead heat for second. Adding the numbers of the dead
heating runners up gives 9; divide this number by the number of
greyhounds in the dead heat (2) which gives a resulting number of
4.5; multiple 4.5 by the winning number (1) to give 4.5.
4. D.) WINNING DISTANCES
* 'Winning distances' bets are on the sum of the winning distances for
all races during a race meeting, unless otherwise stated in the
Market Information.
* The maximum winning distance in any race is 10 lengths.
* If there is only one finisher in any race the winning distance will
be deemed to be 10 lengths.
* If a race is cancelled, void or abandoned the winning distance will
be deemed to be 2 lengths.
* Re-run races will be treated as cancelled races.
* For distances below half a length, the following scale will be
applied: Short-head 0.1; Head 0.2; Neck 0.3.
* The sum of all the winning distances will be rounded to the nearest
whole number at the end of the meeting (rounded up, if half) and bets
will be settled on this result.
* If a whole meeting is abandoned all bets are void. However if at
least one race has been completed then the remaining races are
allocated 2 lengths each and bets will stand.
5. E.) MATCH BETS
* 'Match Bets' for a race are determined by the greyhound with the
highest finishing position in that race. If neither greyhound
finishes the race bets are void. If only one of the greyhounds
finishes the race, that greyhound will be deemed the winner. If a
non-runner or reserve runner is declared then all bets will be void.
* 'Match Bets' for progress in a competition are determined by the
greyhound which qualifies to the furthest round (whether it runs in
the further round or not). If the greyhounds concerned fail to
qualify in the same round of the competition then the market will be
settled as a dead heat, irrespective of their finishing positions in
their individual heats.
6. F.) REVERSE FORECASTS
* 'Reverse Forecast' markets are determined by those greyhounds placed
first and second in a race.
* If a dead heat affects the reverse forecast then Betfair dead heat
rules apply.
7. G.) PLACE MARKETS
* The number of winners in 'to be placed' markets is as set out in the
Market Information and is determined with reference to the number of
runners known to Betfair when the market is loaded.
* Once opened, the number of winners in 'to be placed' markets (as set
out in the Market Information) will not be affected by further
non-runners. If the number of potential winners is equal to or is
greater than the number of runners, all bets in this market will be
void.
8. H.) TO REACH THE FINAL AND TO QUALIFY MARKETS
* 'Reach the Final' markets shall be determined by the first six
greyhounds who qualify from the Semi Finals of the competition and be
settled as such regardless of whether they go on to run in the final
or not.
* 'To qualify' markets shall be determined by the greyhounds that
qualify in the relevant heats irrespective of whether they run in the
next round or not.
* The 'reach the final' or 'to qualify' markets will be settled after
the qualifying stages and any subsequent disqualification or
amendment to results will not count.
9. I.) ANTE-POST
* If a greyhound listed in an ante-post market dies, Betfair will use
the available information to determine the time of the greyhound's
death. Betfair will then, acting reasonably, determine whether the
greyhound was a 'material runner' in the market. In determining
whether a greyhound is a material runner, Betfair will look at the
general price of the greyhound immediately before the greyhound's
death, in the Betfair market and in the wider betting market.
Broadly, Betfair will consider a greyhound to be a material runner if
it is deemed to have an approximate chance of winning of 8-10 per
cent or better.
* If Betfair determines that the greyhound was a 'material runner',
then all bets struck in the market (on all selections) between the
time of death and the suspension of the market will be void and all
unmatched bets will be cancelled before the market is reopened.
* If Betfair determines that the greyhound was not a 'material runner',
then just bets struck on the greyhound in question between the time
of death and the suspension of the market will be void and unmatched
bets will not be cancelled before the market is reopened.
* Bets matched on greyhounds after they have forfeited their entry at a
particular entry stage or where they have not qualified by the
applicable qualifying date will be voided unless the race in question
has a subsequent supplementary entry stage.
* Where an event is postponed or rescheduled to another day at the same
venue then ante-post bets will stand unless entries are reopened in
which case all bets will be void.
10. J.) AUSTRALIAN SPECIFIC NON-RUNNER RULES
* Notwithstanding any of the above, the following rules apply to
declared non-runners in Australian greyhound markets.
* If a greyhound becomes a notified non runner after the market is
loaded but prior to the commencement of the race it will be removed
and all bets on the market, matched prior to the update of the market
on Betfair, will be voided.
* If, following the completion of a race, the stewards declare a
greyhound a non-runner, Betfair will resettle the market and will
void all bets that were placed on that runner only. Betfair will then
apply a reduction factor to all bets placed on the winner (or
placegetters in the case of place markets) based on that runner’s
weighted average price.
12. ICE HOCKEY
* All bets on "Regular Time" markets will be settled on the result at the
end of regular time, excluding overtime. All bets on " Moneyline "
markets will be settled at the result at the end of regular time
including "overtime and any shootouts that may be played".
* Handicap markets, including 'Puck Line' markets (i.e. handicap markets
for National Hockey League matches), will be settled on the basis of the
final result including overtime and any shootouts that may be played.
* If a match does not start on the scheduled start date and is not
completed within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be
void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally
determined.
* If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed then, within three
days of the scheduled start date, (a) at least 55 minutes of play must
have elapsed in any match; or (b) an official result must be 'called' by
the relevant governing body; otherwise all bets will be void, except for
those which have been unconditionally determined. In these instances, if
the scores are tied then for " Moneyline " matches (where no tie is
offered) dead heat rules will apply to bets on the outright match winner
market.
13. MOTOR SPORT (WHICH MAY INCLUDE, AMONGST OTHERS, FORMULA ONE, SUPERBIKES AND
SPEEDWAY)
* If a race is abandoned and no presentation position or official result is
declared all bets on that race will be void except for bets on any
markets which have been unconditionally determined.
* If the scheduled venue is changed after the market has been loaded by
Betfair, all bets will be void.
* On "head-to-head" bets (i.e. match bets) the driver/rider who finishes
ahead or completes the most number of laps is deemed to be the winner.
* In Speedway , bets will be void if all scheduled heats or races of a
meeting or match are not completed except on markets which have been
unconditionally determined.
* In any case where there is no podium presentation, but the Market
Information states that settlement of the relevant market will be based
on the result at the time of the podium presentation, then the market
will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in
reporting the result).
14. ROWING
* If a crew or individual starts a race but does not complete it then they
will be deemed a loser providing at least one other crew or individual
completes the race. If no crew or individual completes a race then all
bets will be void.
* If a regatta is cancelled for any reason, all bets will be void, except
those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
* Where there is a presentation ceremony, markets will be settled on the
official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the
ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to
the result.
* If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in
accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in
reporting the result).
15. RUGBY UNION AND RUGBY LEAGUE
* 'Tournament points' and 'tournament tries' bets will apply to all playing
time, including any extra-time in any match where an official result is
declared.
* For 'time of first try' bets, if the try is scored in the second half,
the first half is deemed to have lasted 40 minutes, regardless of
stoppage-time. If no try is scored, or the try is scored in second half
stoppage-time or extra-time, the result is 80.
* For the purpose of markets involving tries, penalty tries will count with
the exception of 'first individual try scorer' markets where penalty
tries will not count.
* If a match starts but is abandoned before its completion, all bets will
be void unless an official result is declared by the applicable governing
body. Where an official result has been declared by the official
governing body, that official result will govern match and handicap
market settlement but all other markets will be void unless their result
has already been determined at the point of abandonment (i.e. at the
point of abandonment, it would not have been possible for the outcome of
the bet to change had the match continued to its natural conclusion). By
way of example, if 37 points have been scored at the time a match is
abandoned: (i) a bet placed on 35 points or more to be scored would be
settled as a winning bet, (ii) a bet placed on 30-35 points to be scored
would be settled as a losing bet and (iii) a bet placed on 40-45 points
to be scored would be void. In such circumstances, bets on last tryscorer
/ team to score last / team to score last try / last scoring play would
all be void.
16. SNOOKER AND POOL
* In the event of a match starting but not being completed, the player
progressing to the next round will be deemed the winner (or in the case
of the final the player declared the winner).
* If a match is not completed for any reason then bets on 'any correct
score' or 'next frame' market will be void.
* If a match is not completed for any reason, bets on any handicap market
will be void unless the market has been unconditionally determined.
17. SOCCER
* If Betfair does not suspend a market on time for the occurrence of a
Material Event (as defined in Part B of these Rules and Regulations
above), Betfair reserves the right to void bets matched after the
Material Event has occurred. Voiding of these bets may take place during
the event or retrospectively once a game is completed.
* Where a Material Event (as defined in Part B of these Rules and
Regulations above) is cancelled due to a determination made via a video
assistant referee, Betfair will void all bets which are matched between
the occurrence of the Material Event and the cancellation of it. The
voiding of any such bets may take place during the event or
retrospectively once a game is completed.
* For the avoidance of doubt, where a video assistant referee ruling
results in the award of a Material Event (as defined in Part B of these
Rules and Regulations above), such Material Event will be deemed to have
occurred at the time at which the video assistant referee commences a
review relating to such (ultimately awarded) Material Event. In such
circumstances, bets matched prior to the time at which the video
assistant referee commences a review will not be voided.
* If a match is postponed, all undetermined bets will be voided as long as
the match does not start before 23:59 local time (or if Betfair believes
that a match will not have started by such time) on its scheduled date.
* Fixtures that are rearranged before the scheduled kick off date will not
be regarded as postponements and all bets will stand, as long as the
rescheduled date is within 72 hours of the original kick off time.
* If a match starts but is later abandoned, all undetermined bets will be
voided as long as the match is not played to a finish before midnight
local time on its scheduled date.
* For major tournaments (such as the World Cup), if a game is delayed
beyond midnight local time, all bets will stand and be settled once the
game is played, as long as the game is played to a finish within 72
hours.
* If the venue of a match is other than is indicated on our website, the
bet will stand provided the match has not been switched to the opponent's
ground, in which case the match will be declared void. Notwithstanding
this rule, in major international tournaments (eg World Cup, 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.
* Euro 2020 - If a match is rescheduled (due to COVID reason for example)
in line with official UEFA rules, all bets will stand. If a team is
awarded a win without playing the game, all bets will be void.
* For Friendly matches, all bets apply to the full duration of play
according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time. If a friendly
match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and is not completed
(i.e. the full duration of play according to match officials, plus any
stoppage time) within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets
will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally
determined. In the case of ambiguity over the official result from match
officials, the outcome will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably)
using information from independent sources.
* If an official fixture lists different team details to those listed on
the Betfair website (for example, the team name, reserves, age group,
gender, etc), then all bets matched 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). If an
official fixture is shown on the Betfair website under an incorrect
competition name, then Betfair reserves the right to void all bets
matched on the affected markets.
* 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 (i.e. usually any of the bottom three league positions), bets on
that team to be relegated will be settled as winning bets. If a team is
otherwise disqualified, thrown out or removed from a league (i.e. in
circumstances other than those where it has finished the season within
the relevant relegation positions): (i) if such team is disqualified,
thrown out 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 loaded) and (ii) if such team is disqualified,
thrown out or removed from the league after the relevant season has
started (or a determination is made by the applicable governing body,
during the season, that the team will be thrown out 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.
* The relevant season will be deemed to have started once the first league
game has been played. For the purposes of this rule, markets relating to
individual matches will not be deemed to be "affected markets".
* 'Shirt numbers' bets will refer to the shirt number allocated at the
start of the match. 'Shirt numbers' bets will include own-goal scorers.
Any player whose shirt bears no number will be allocated the number 12.
* For 'time of first goal' bets (i.e. "First Goal Odds" markets), the first
half is deemed to last 45 minutes, regardless of stoppage time. Also for
these markets, please note that the "0 - 10 Minutes" selection covers the
first 10 minutes of the match. In other words, it runs from 0:00 until
just before the clock hits 10:00. The "11 – 20 Minutes" selection runs
from 10:00 until just before the clock hits 20:00. The same principle
applies to each of the other selections in this market.
* For 'top goalscorer' markets only the goals scored in the league or
competition stated in the Market Information 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.
* In markets which relate to the number of incidents to occur, such as
'number of corners', these will be determined on the basis of the number
taken, rather than awarded.
* o For markets that relate to the number of bookings given, the number of
corners taken, any goalscorer or the time of a particular goal, the
result will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using
information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new
information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement,
then Betfair shall (acting reasonably) determine either: (i) whether the
market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new
information; or (ii) to wait for further information before deciding
whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where Betfair has
announced that it is waiting for further information, any information
that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has
been settled shall not be considered by Betfair (regardless of whether or
not such information may have led to a different result).

official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the
ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to
the result.
* If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in
accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial

reporting the result).

less than one set has been completed at the time of the retirement or
disqualification then all bets relating to that individual match will be

determined.

any changes to a different type of surface.

that this does not apply to ‘Match Odds’ or ‘Set Winner’ markets on Davis
Cup matches or ‘dead rubber’ matches that have been shortened from five
sets to three sets after the market has been loaded, provided that the
match has been shortened in accordance with the competition’s rules.

the result.

accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body,
regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result
(except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial
settlement of the relevant market to correct an error in reporting the
result).
* "Outright" markets relate to the winner of the overall event and not for
individual qualifiers or heats.
* For "Head-to-Head" markets, outcomes will be determined in accordance
with the official result of the relevant governing body. If either or
both athletes do not make the final, the winner will be deemed to be the
athlete who progressed furthest by round, and if still undecided, then by
time achieved in the round in which both were eliminated. All bets are
void if any athlete in a match/group bet fails to compete.
* If an event is abandoned, postponed or cancelled, all bets will be void
unless the event is completed at the same venue within 48 hours of the
official scheduled completion date.

funds is not required, as well as without prejudice to the existence of
certain bonuses or promotions that Betfair may offer to those users who
wish to try the services it provides prior to making a first deposit.That

all funds in customers' gaming accounts are held in a Spanish bank account
on behalf of Betfair, to meet any payment obligations that you may incur
when betting or playing games on our website.
You agree that:
1. All monies deposited into our accounts are free of any illegality and,
in particular, do not originate from any illegal activity or source; and

withdrawal requests will be handled within 24 hours of the withdrawal
request being made.

proof of address (utility bills - electricity, telephone, etc.; from your
bank or a registration certificate from the Electoral Roll, issued within

Frequently Asked Questions page.
Betfair carries out a number of checks (described below) as part of our
ongoing commitment to maintaining the security of our customers'
funds.Therefore, all withdrawal requests are processed only after having
confirmed the absence of clear indications of fraud or illegality.
Firstly, until the legally required checks on the player's identity have
been carried out, Betfair will limit a player's first deposit of funds to a
maximum amount of €150 and prevent possible withdrawals until such checks
have been carried out.
In addition, and without prejudice to other checks and verifications
regulated in these Terms and Conditions, Betfair carries out a number of
checks and verifications before processing any request to withdraw funds,
including verification of identity, on cumulative deposits of €2000, the
value of which may be calculated either on a daily basis taking into
account all deposits made by the customer since the establishment of the
business relationship; or over a period of time of one hundred and eighty
(180) days.
The methods available for depositing funds can be viewed by logging in to
your Betfair account and clicking on the "Deposit" button in the top
right-hand part of our home page.In particular, you may deposit funds via
(i) credit card payment; (ii) bank transfer; (iii) PayPal; (iv) the Trustly
instant transfer system; or (v) Paysafecard, (vi) Neteller or (vii) Skrill
e-wallets.
The methods available for withdrawing funds can be viewed once you are

then (a) FOR MOBILES by selecting the "Withdraw" button and the payment
method by which you wish to withdraw funds and (b) FOR DESKTOP COMPUTERS by
selecting the "My Betfair Account" option from the drop-down menu, where
you will see the "Withdraw Funds" option.Customers may withdraw any amount
from their "Main Wallet".Amounts appearing in either the "Sportsbook
Bonus", "Casino Bonus" or "Arcade Bonus" may be subject to betting
requirements before being available for withdrawal.
Withdrawals shall be remitted only to the account from which the funds paid
in to the customer's account originated.
If at any time you exhibit ‘risky behaviour’ (based on a historical
analysis of your activity on the Betfair website), you will only be allowed
to use debit card or bank transfers payment methods to make deposits and
withdrawals on your Betfair account. All other alternative payment methods,
including e-wallets and prepaid cards, and credit card payment methods will
be restricted in order for us to meet our regulatory obligations for safe
gambling. We will also ask you to prove you own any bank issued payment
methods used to make deposits on your Betfair account. This could include
providing personal details and copies of documentation such as your
passport, driving license, other government-issued photo ID, utility bills
and/or bank statements. If you fail to comply with our request for, or you
are unable to prove ownership of, a particular bank issued payment method,
you will not be able to use it to make deposits on your Betfair account.
If at any time you exhibit ‘intensive behaviour’ (based on a historical
analysis of your activity on the Betfair website), you will be temporarily
restricted from using credit card payment methods to make deposits and
withdrawal on your Betfair account in order for us to meet our regulatory
obligations for safe gambling. The restriction will be removed from your
Betfair account only when we decide to remove your intensive behaviour
categorisation in accordance with such regulatory obligations.
4. YOUR RIGHTS
Under these Terms and Conditions, you have the following rights:
1. To obtain clear and truthful information about the rules applicable to
any of the games you may play through our website, as well as any other
material information relating to the relevant services (including
amounts gambled, your account balance or available playing time, as
detailed below).
2. To receive any prizes you may be entitled to in accordance with the
applicable rules of the games in which you may participate as part of
our services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, as well as
the applicable rules of the relevant game.
3. To file, with us or with the Directorate General for Gaming Regulation,
any complaint that you consider necessary in relation to your use of our
website or the services we offer through it.
Before you start playing, you will be able to set the criteria for
self-exclusion and self-limitation of your funds.
In the event that you request self-exclusion, this will result in the
temporary suspension of your gaming account, with no possibility of making
deposits or participating in the games.Such self-exclusion shall be
irrevocable for the period of time you have indicated.Moreover, you should
be aware that such self-exclusion will only have effect on our website.
With regard to the self-limitation of deposits, the reduction, increase or
elimination of deposit limits shall be carried out in accordance with the
provisions of Article 36 of Royal Decree 1614/2011.
In particular, it is possible to set deposit limits per day, week or
month.By default, the gaming account will have the following deposit
limits:(i) daily limit:€600; (ii) weekly limit:€1500; and (iii) monthly
limit:€3000.
Any reduction to the current limits will be implemented immediately.
In the event that the user requests an increase or removal of these limits,
they must:
1. Pass the responsible gambling and gambling addiction prevention test
established by the Spanish authorities, which is available in the
Responsible Gambling section of our website; and here.
2. Not have engaged in risky behaviour over the last three months, for
which purpose a historical analysis of the player's track record will be
carried out in accordance with the responsible gambling criteria
established by Betfair as well as the applicable regulations.
In the event that the fulfilment of the above two conditions is confirmed,
the new gaming account limits shall be set within three days of their
fulfilment.In any case, a new increase may not be requested until three
months have elapsed since the last increase.
You will also be able to set limits on your play each time you start a new
gaming session. A gaming session is opened when you select to play any real
money casino games on the Betfair website. Before you start a gaming
session, you will be presented with a gaming limits form within which you
can set the maximum play time and spend amount for the relevant gaming
session. The spend limit is calculated on a ‘net loss’ basis, meaning the
use of winnings earned during the gaming session, credits and bonuses will
not apply towards the spend limit. If you reach the time or spend limit
during your session of play, the gaming session will automatically end. You
may also choose (at your option) to limit your ability to start a further
gaming session for a set period if you reach either limit before choosing
to end the relevant gaming session. Please note that the limits you select
are final. Once you have confirmed your selections for a gaming limits form
and start a gaming session, you will not be able to change the selected
limits during the relevant gaming session.
Our Customer Service Team is available to provide information regarding
Responsible Gambling through our phoneline on 800 90 60 40. Additionally,
we recommend checking our specific responsible gambling website for more

protection, especially Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on personal data
protection and guarantee of digital rights, General Data Protection
Regulation EU/679/2016 of 27 April, as well as its respective implementing
regulations.
You authorise us to use, at any time, the means we consider necessary to
verify your identity and creditworthiness through third-party providers of
information.
We reserve the right to register ALL telephone calls received or made by

activities, for the purposes of which you provide your consent to collect
and process your personal data, which will be managed in accordance with
our Privacy Policy.
7. COMPLETION OF EACH BET OR PLAY
Each bet or play that you make with us implies a specific betting contract
between you and Betfair subject to these Terms and Conditions.All betting
contracts are comprised of:(i) an offer by the operator, (ii) the
acceptance and betting of an amount determined by the user, and (iii) the
acceptance of the user's bet by the operator, and, along with that, the
confirmation that your bet has been concluded between both parties.As a
result, until we confirm your bet, it cannot be regarded as effectively
concluded.It is possible that the confirmation of your bets will not be
accepted for the purpose of:
1. Protecting you (for example, but not limited to, if you demonstrate a
pathological behaviour and/or you refuse to opt out or ban yourself); or
2. Protecting the viability of the markets offered at any time (for
example, but not limited to, in relation to events offered in which
there is an extraordinary or lopsided number of bets in the same market,
or in a minor or singular event/market); or
3. Protecting other users (for example, but not limited to, in relation to
events in which there may be collusive or fraudulent behaviour); or
4. Protecting Betfair (for example, but not limited to, in the event that
you demonstrate behaviour aimed at money laundering, you show collusive
or fraudulent behaviour or we suspect that you are using a third party's
account, you are allowing your account to be used by a third party, or
you are using automated means, bots, software or similar means).
Depending on the level of risk, instead of rejecting your bet, Betfair may
offer accepting your bet up to a certain amount.In that case, you will
always have the right to reject our offer, and, therefore, not conclude
said bet.Once again, to avoid any type of uncertainty in this regard, no
bet will be considered as effectively concluded until it is confirmed.
8. COMMITMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION
You recognise that Betfair will conserve the information related to your
identity, which includes, but is not limited to, your name, address and
data for payment.You accept that we trust this information by entering into
this contract with you, and you commit to indemnify us in the event of any
falsehood or inaccuracy contained in the information you provide us.
9. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
You must inform us as soon as you become aware of any error or omission
with respect to your account.
10. RIGHT TO COMPENSATION
If you owe Betfair any amount for any reason, and, at the same time, you
have a positive balance with us, said balance will be used to pay the
aforementioned amount owed.
11. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION
You can suspend or cancel your gaming account at any time through notifying
Betfair.
In the same way, and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article
85.4 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 of 16 November, which approves the
consolidated text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and
Customers and other complementary laws, Betfair can terminate the Gaming
Contract with you, and, as a result, close your account at any time,
informing you with 7 days of advance notice.The positive balance of your
account and the bets confirmed prior to the termination of your Gaming
Contract and that end up being winning bets will be paid with the same
payment method you used to make deposits into your account.
Moreover, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 33.2 of
Royal Decree 1614/2011, we can suspend or cancel your gaming account if,
after having carried out the corresponding investigation, we discover that
(i) you have violated any of the Terms and Conditions, rules or policies of
Betfair; (ii) you have violated any law, standard or regulation; (iii) you
have been involved in fraud, your account has been used by third parties or
you have used automated systems, robots (bots) or any other artificial
intelligence software, or you have been involved in activities of money
laundering, collusion, trickery or abuse of a promotion, or in any other
dishonest activity.After the cancellation or suspension of your gaming
account, and after completing the corresponding verification procedure,
Betfair will return the funds deposited in your gaming account, in
compliance with the applicable regulations.The winnings obtained from
violating the applicable regulations or these Terms and Conditions will be
cancelled, and, therefore, will not be paid to you.
We reserve the right to withhold the funds from your gaming account while
any investigation is being resolved (including any external investigation)
in which:
1. we have confirmed the existence of solid evidence that you have acted in
violation of these Terms and Conditions, including the cases in which we
have verified that the account has been linked with fraudulent or
dishonest activities.Among other things, we consider that you have
participated in a fraudulent or dishonest activity if we confirm
that:(a) you have made bets against the house (Sportsbook) by abusing
systems, processes or automated tools that undermine the genuinely
random nature of the corresponding bets and playing services; (b) you
have used two or more gaming accounts; (c) you have made bets once the
event or market in question has already occurred (the bet has been
resolved) or you knew beforehand the result that is the object of the
bet; (d) you have repeatedly acted in bad faith to make bets (including,
for example, benefiting from manifest errors in the rates offered);
and/or
2. we must withhold the funds from your account by law to comply with any
requirement, order or instruction received from a competent authority.
Once said investigation has been completed, we reserve the right to
withhold, or, if applicable, to seize all or part of the funds deposited in
your gaming account if a competent authority orders us to do so or if we
have confirmed that you have acted in violation of these Terms and
Conditions.We will process and allocate the funds we obtain in this way in
accordance with the requirement, order or instructions received from the

SECTION 2:PARTICULAR CONDITIONS FOR SPORTING BETS AGAINST THE HOUSE
("SPORTSBOOK")
Betfair offers a platform on which our customers registered in Spain can make
betting offers, which we can accept or that Betfair can reject whenever it is
justified and reasonable.You can make betting offers on the various markets
available on betfair.es (the "Markets").
We ask that you carefully read these Particular Conditions and the General
Conditions, before making any betting offer on our website.
You must accept being bound by these Particular Conditions, as well as the
General Conditions (together, the "Contract").
PARTICULAR CONDITIONS RELATIVE TO YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITE
1. YOUR CONDUCT
At all times, you must make your betting offers in good faith, and, in
particular, you must not make betting offers in violation of any sporting
rules, regulations or codes of conduct that are applicable to you.
2. YOUR BETTING OFFERS
The offer you make for a bet is open to acceptance thereof totally or
partially by Betfair as a single counterparty, as per this Contract and the
applicable regulations.
SECTION 3:SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR PARI-MUTUEL BETS
Betfair International Spain, S.A. ("Betfair") provides a Pari-Mutuel Betting
product in which our Spanish users can bet between each other on markets
available on our website ("Markets").
Carefully read these Specific Conditions and the General Conditions before
making betting offers or accepting bets on Pari-Mutuel Bets.
After formalising a transaction of bets in Pari-Mutuel Bets, you commit to being
bound by these Specific Conditions, as well as the General Conditions (together,
the "Contract").
1. Your conduct
You must act in good faith at all times in relation to the counterparties in
your bets made through Pari-Mutuel Bets, and said counterparties may require
compliance with said duty directly from you.Specifically, you may not make bets
on the Exchange in case of violating sporting rules, regulations or codes of
conduct that are applicable to you.
2. Privacy
We can provide you with information about any counterparty of your bets, as long
as we consider that said counterparties have acted in violation of their duty to
act in good faith.For said purpose, you expressly consent to communicating your
personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.
Specific conditions related to bets in Pari-Mutuel Bets
3. Functioning of Pari-Mutuel Bets
We can restrict your use to certain programmes designed to make bets
automatically within certain parameters (for example, betting against or in
favour at a certain price) ("bots") whether in general or in relation to a
specific bot if we believe that you have used one of them to make bets on, or
manipulate, any market whose purpose or effect is to adversely undermine the
integrity of the product of Pari-Mutuel Bets or of a market.
You cannot designate individuals to be counterparties in any of your betting
offers.
In addition to the common practice of matching bets, many markets on Betfair use
a process called "cross-selection matching" or "cross matching" to match
bets.When a betting request cannot be matched by an opposing party in the same
selection through cross-selection matching, Betfair will attempt to match the
betting request with liquidity not matched in the remaining market selections.
We do not guarantee that each offer that is shown as pending on our website is
available while waiting for acceptance thereof.All or part of the betting offer
shown on the Exchange as available with rates or a specific price can be
successfully cancelled by one or more counterparties before acceptance thereof
is processed through the Exchange system.In said case, the offer for a bet will
be removed before the acceptance of the other offer is known.However, your
failed attempt to accept the bet before the offer is made will be published as
an offer for other users.
Best rates application
The Best Rates Application function allows customers to match their bet with the
best rates available on the Exchange.
With the Best Rates Application function activated, if there are better rates
available or if they become available later, after having made your betting
request, it will automatically be matched with the better rates.
However, if the Best Rates Application function is deactivated, your bet will
not be matched if there are better rates available or if they become available
later after having made your betting request.Instead, your betting request will
expire and you will have to resend your bet with the improved rates.
The Best Rates Application function is activated by default for all customers
and is the configuration recommended by Betfair.By using the Exchange, you
accept that the Best Rates Application will be activated by default.
To obtain more information about the Best Prices Application, you can consult
this.

watch two races.A double bet of €1.00 (with legs in different races) would
only allow you to watch the race that starts first.
- A Yankee bet of €0.40 (with legs in different races) would allow you to
watch 4 races, given that the average bet per race is more than €1.00 (€4.40
in total).
- A bet of €6.00 for an 8 fold accumulator (with legs in different races)
would allow you to watch the first six races (in which you have a leg), but

ABOUT US — BETFAIR CHARGES
BETFAIR CHARGES
INTRODUCTION
There are two types of charges that you may be required to pay. The charges
described in the "General charges" section apply in relation to your Betfair
account and therefore are relevant to all customers. In addition, there are
certain charges that only apply in particular circumstances to customers of the
Betfair Exchange. Further details of all of the following charges can be found
in the relevant sections below:
All charges are inclusive of VAT, if applicable.
General charges
Charges relating to the deposit and withdrawal of funds to or from Betfair are
set out in the deposit and withdrawal pages within the "My account" section on
the Betfair website.
Charges applicable only to the Betfair Exchange
For the vast majority of Betfair Exchange customers, the only charges paid to
Betfair will be commission on net winnings in an Exchange market, as set out in
more detail in Section 1 below.
A small number of customers who, in the long-term, generate very little
commission compared to the amount they win may incur premium charges. Any
customer affected by this charge will be notified in advance. Details of the
premium charge are set out in section 3.
1. Commission, Market Base Rate
This section only applies to the Betfair Exchange.
Betfair charges a commission on your net winnings on a market. If you have a net
loss on a market, you do not pay commission.
Commission is calculated by multiplying your net winnings by the 2% Market Base
Rate
In order to see the Market Base Rate applicable to you, please refer to emails
and web messages from Betfair setting out current charges.
Sports multiples
Betfair charges commission on winning sports multiples bets. The commission is
usually 6.5% of winnings but may vary from time to time. Always check the Rules
tab to be sure what commission rate applies. If your multiple bet loses, you do
not pay commission.
3. Premium Charges
The Premium Charge only applies in respect of bets placed on the Betfair
Exchange and it does not apply to any bets placed on other Betfair products.
In addition to the other charges detailed above, a small number (less than 0.5%)
of our most successful customers will incur Premium Charges.
Any customer affected by the Premium Charge will be notified in advance.
Calculating potential charges
Each week Betfair will calculate your "gross profits" made, and your "total
charges" generated over the lifetime of your account. The details of these
calculations are explained below.
You will only be considered for the Premium Charge if your account is in profit
and only if the total charges generated since joining Betfair are less than 20 %
of your gross profits.
The vast majority of customers, and even the majority of those whose betting on
Betfair is profitable since they joined, do not meet both these conditions and
will not incur the Premium Charge.
While those conditions accurately describe our most successful customers, they
might also apply to new customers who have only bet in a few markets, or those
whose accounts are in profit because of a significant big win. To ensure that
those accounts are not inadvertently charged, we have added two further
conditions: any single win that constitutes more than 50% of lifetime gross
profits will be excluded from the calculation, and customers will only be
considered for the Premium Charge after they have bet in more than 250 markets.
Each customer will also have a €1000 allowance against the Premium Charge. This
means that every customer considered for the Premium Charge will be exempted
from the first €1000 of the charge incurred.
Please note that for the purposes of calculating the charge we will assume that
the charge has been in place since Betfair launched in June 2000. This means
that we will consider all customers to have generated charges equal to at least
20 % of lifetime gross profits as of the 12th October 2009. However, this also
means that for some customers, some or all of the €1000 allowance against the
charge will have been used prior to 12th October 2009 in order to offset
hypothetical charges paid. Assuming hypothetical charges had been paid prior to
introduction of the charge, it would have the effect of reducing the amount that
customers would typically incur.
Each week the customers who meet all the conditions set out above will be
charged the lesser of:
o The difference between 20% of the previous week's gross profits and the total
charges generated during the week, and
o The difference between 20% of gross profits and the total charges generated
during the lifetime of the account
This means that you will not be faced with a premium charge that is more than
20% of your gross profits for the previous week. Please note that this figure
applies exclusively to the maximum amount of Premium Charge payable. It is
possible for the total amount of Premium Charges and commission paid to exceed
20 %.
Please note that the second of the two calculations set out above can only ever
reduce the premium charge and will apply on the rare occasion that the
difference between 20 % of gross profits and the total charges generated during
the lifetime of the account is less than the same calculation for the previous
week.
Premium Charges will be deducted from customer accounts weekly (on Wednesdays)
in relation to the previous week's activity (Monday to Sunday).
Accounts that relate to one person, entity, API subscription or a Master account
with related sub-accounts (trading version only) are treated as one customer for
the purposes of calculating Premium Charges. Note that no Betfair Points will
accrue for Premium Charges.
In circumstances where Betfair considers, in its absolute discretion, that
multiple accounts have been used by one person or group of persons in order to
avoid or reduce liability for the Premium Charge, Betfair will be entitled to
treat those accounts as if they relate to one person for the purposes of
calculating Premium Charges. In such circumstances, Betfair will link those
accounts and the linked accounts will be jointly and severally liable for any
unpaid Premium Charge. The premium charge will be debited from any such
account(s) where applicable.
* By "gross profits" we mean the amounts won, excluding total charges, less the
amounts lost, on all Betfair markets.
** By "total charges" we mean all commission generated by Betfair as a result of
your betting plus any premium charges you have incurred. "Commission generated"
includes half the commission paid on winnings, but also half the commission that
Betfair makes from the other customers who win in markets in which you have
lost, which we call "implied commission". When you win, Betfair collects
commission at your rate of commission, but when you lose, the commission
collected by Betfair from the winners is at their rate. We will therefore
determine the commission generated by your betting activity to be:
> Commission generated = (commission + implied commission) ÷ 2
> where
> Implied commission = market losses x 3%
> We divide by 2 because otherwise we would be counting each euro of commission
> twice.
Premium Charge summary
You will only be considered for the Premium Charge if, over the lifetime of your
account, you satisfy the following criteria:
o Your account is in profit
o Your total charges generated are less than 20 % of gross profits, and
o You bet in more than 250 markets
Two further conditions reduce the likelihood that you will be required to pay
the Premium Charge:
o Any single win that constitutes more than 50% of your gross profits over the
lifetime of your account will be excluded from the calculation, and
o Each customer will have a lifetime allowance of €1000 against the Premium
Charge.
Each week the customers who meet all the conditions set out above will be
charged the lesser of:
o The difference between 20 % of the previous week's gross profits and the total
charges generated during the week, and
o The difference between 20 % of gross profits and the total charges generated
during the lifetime of the account
Examples:
> Example 1
> You have won gross profits of €10,000 since joining Betfair having bet in at
> least 800 markets.
> You have paid total charges of €980, all of which has been paid through
> commission generated.
> You have not been charged any Premium Charges to date although you have fully
> used up your allowance of €1000.
> During the previous week you won €500 and paid total charges of €80.
> You are therefore charged €20 in Premium Charges ((€500 x 20%) - €80 = €20).
Example 2 — Charge allowance
You have won gross profits of €10,000 since joining Betfair having bet in at
least 320 markets.
You have generated €1050 in commission and paid no Premium Charge to date.
During the previous week you won €500 and paid total charges of €50.
In the absence of a charge allowance you would have been charged Premium Charges
of €50 ((€500 x 20%) - €50 = €50).
However, the €50 is offset against the €1000 charge allowance meaning that no
additional Premium Charge is paid.
You then carry over the balance of your charge allowance (€950) to offset
against potential future Premium Charges.
Example 3 — Excluding "big" wins
You have won gross profits of €8000 since joining Betfair having bet in at least
500 markets.
You have paid total charges of €1025, all of which has been paid through
commission generated.
During the previous week you won €5000 from a single market and paid total
charges of €125.
As the win constitutes more than 50% of your total gross profits since joining
Betfair, it is excluded for the purposes of calculating the Premium Charge.
However, the commission generated on the win does contribute towards total
charges paid.
After the win is removed you have gross profits of €3000 and total charges of
€1025 and therefore incur no additional Premium Charge.
Premium Charges at higher rates
Higher rates of Premium Charge will apply to the very small number of customers
(less than 0.1%) who satisfy the following conditions over the lifetime of their
account:
o Lifetime net profits*** exceed €250,000
o Commission generated less than 40% of lifetime gross profits
o Bet in more than 1000 markets
The Premium Charge rate applied to each customer who satisfies these conditions
is dependent on their lifetime commission generated to gross profits ratio. The
exact rate will be determined by the following table:
Lifetime commission generated to gross profits ratio
Applicable Premium Charge rate
< 5%
60%
5%–10%
50%
10%+
40%
Please note that any single market win that constitutes more than 50% of your
lifetime gross profits will be excluded from all calculations.
The amount of Premium Charge incurred by each customer will be calculated in
exactly the same way as the standard Premium Charge with the exception that the
standard 20% rate will be replaced with increased rate applicable to the
individual in each case.
For the purposes of introducing a change to the Premium Charge rate that applies
to your betting, we will assume that you have always incurred the Premium Charge
at the prevailing rate. For example, if the Premium Charge rate applicable to
your betting increases from 20% to 40%, we will assume that you have always paid
Premium Charges at 40%. However, as explained in the "Calculating potential
charges" section above, this also means that for some customers, some or all of
the €1000 allowance against the charge will have been used in order to offset
hypothetical charges paid. Assuming hypothetical charges had been paid prior to
introduction of the charge, it would have the effect of reducing the amount that
customers would typically incur.
It is possible that your lifetime commission generated to gross profits ratio
will change to the extent that your applicable Premium Charge rate will require
adjustment. Should your rate change, we will recalculate as if you had always
incurred the Premium Charge at the new rate. If your rate has decreased (e.g. if
your lifetime commission generated to gross profits ratio increases from 4.9% to
5.1% — moving you from a 60% rate to 50% rate), the Premium Charges you
"overpaid" when being charged the higher rate previously will be used to offset
future Premium Charges. If your rate has increased, Betfair will notify you
directly and give you at least two weeks' notice before the increased rate takes
effect. You are entitled to seek review of your Premium Charge rate at any time.
*** By "net profits" we mean the amounts won less the amounts lost, on all
Betfair markets, less all commission paid and Premium Charges debited.

SECURITY
BETFAIR INTERNET SECURITY
We take our customers’ security seriously, and we have teams who focus solely on
protecting customer information from online threats. We also want to keep our
customers informed about the way we store and protect your information, and
responsibly disclose vulnerabilities, so that you can take any necessary
precautions.
What you can do, to stay safe
There are basic security principals that you should keep in mind:
* Never use your Betfair login details on another site.
* Keep your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, etc.) and operating system
(Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, iOS, etc) updated to the latest available
versions.
* If you’re using mobile, keep your app updated to the latest version, and be
sure you are installing the verified version from us in the App Store or Play
Store.
* Log out of your account if you’re not going to be using it for a while.
* Never enter your login details on sites that don’t seem legit. Always check
the domain name (betfair.com) and make sure the “lock” symbol that appears in
the address bar is present – this means the site is secure.
* Pay attention to emails. If you notice poor spelling or grammar, this can be
a red flag, as can a return address that’s not from our domain (@betfair.com
or @mail.betfair.com). If you’re clicking on a link in an email, you can
check where it’s taking you on a desktop by hovering over the link. Don’t
open attachments that are applications (.exe, .msi, .bat, .ps1, .vbs, .app,
etc).
For an extra layer of security on your account, activate 2-Step authentication.
Betfair's 2-Step Authentication reduces the chance of having your account
compromised. In an addition to your username and password, you’ll be asked to
enter a one-time code, which will be sent to your phone via SMS or displayed by
the Google Authenticator application for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows
Phone. You can do this either for every login, or only for new devices,
depending on your settings.
This authentication scheme protects against a range of attacks and eliminates
the risk of insecure or easily guessable passwords, or shared password being
leaked from other websites you use. When you have enabled Betfair's 2-Step
Authentication, attackers not only have to know or guess your username and
password, but also guess an additional one-time password, which changes every 30
seconds.
It’s very difficult to perform this type of attack due to the computational
complexity it carries. With two-step authentication your Betfair account will
have the best protection available.
If you are logged into your account for 24 hours without using it, the system
will automatically log you out for security reasons. We recommend that you
change your password every four to six months. Your password should be unique (a
mixture of numbers, letters and characters) and known only to you.
We also recommend that you run do regular scans for malware on your device with
an Antivirus to make sure it’s protected against the latest threats.
HOW BETFAIR STORES YOUR INFORMATION
Like other betting and gaming companies, Betfair is required to collect personal
information during the registration process, in order comply with legal and
regulatory requirements. We are very aware that we have a responsibility to
protect your personal information and maintain your privacy. Within Betfair,
only employees that have a genuine business need to see your personal details
are allowed access, and access to any personal information is fully monitored.
We will never use your personal information for purposes other than those
necessary to operate our website and products. We sometimes use data processing
agencies and, where we do, we perform rigorous checks to make sure that these
companies are reputable and will look after your data.
Whenever you register, login, make payments or send us other sensitive
information we use SSL/TLS technology to make sure the information you are
entering is encrypted in transit.
Every transaction made with Betfair can be made with the utmost confidence,
because every piece of information you enter will be garbled so that, in the
unlikely event that it does fall into the wrong hands, will be unreadable. For
more information on this matter visit the Betfair Privacy Policy page.
HOW BETFAIR PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION
Betfair employs numerous technologies to help protect our customers from
attackers on the Internet. At every stage, from product design and development
through to operations, we have security in our minds. We use a number of
enterprise-class technologies to provide a high level of security. The servers
in our data centres are physically secured with biometrics, guards and cameras.
Our systems are separated with firewalls, intrusion detection systems and
traffic analysis solutions that examine every byte of data as it enters and then
moves around within our data centres. We monitor for unauthorised changes,
tampering and viruses. Automated tools continuously scan our IT systems looking
for any problems where software needs patching, or where security configuration
could be improved. We scan all of our software using specialist tools and
perform penetration tests, or ethical hacking, against everything before it goes
live on our site. All of this technology means you can be confident that using
Betfair's products has the same level of safety you'd normally associate with
online banking or large financial services companies.
Betfair is proud to be ISO27001 certified, the de-facto global standard for
Information Security Management. This means we have looked at our business and
identified the necessary security management, policies, standards and procedures
to protect our customers and our business. ISO27001 certification demonstrates
that we are serious about delivering premium quality security, that we willing
to undergo regular independent audit and that we are committed to reviewing and
maintaining our security features in the future.
Betfair is also PCI certified and, as a Level 1 merchant, we undergo annual PCI
validation by an external and independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).
You can have confidence that your payment card details are stored and used
securely.
Once we receive your card details, we will carry out a check of your card with
our credit card checking facility. This ensures that the number you entered
actually corresponds to a real credit card number and is not one that has been
made up. We also do random security checks on a continuous basis to ensure that
a card is not being fraudulently used. Card data is, at no time, sent over the
internet during the validation. Incorrect details associated with your card will
result in your account being suspended for security reasons.
RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE
We take the security of our customers and employees’ data very seriously. If you
believe you have discovered a potential security vulnerability on any of our
Betfair applications or services, please help us fix it as quickly as possible
by reporting your findings in our public bug bounty program available in
HackerOne.
Publicly disclosing a vulnerability can put the community at risk, so we urge
you to keep matters private until we are able to resolve the issue.
