In addition to the following sports betting rules, the General rules applicable to all bets offered on the website apply. However, the sports rules will take precedence over the general rules.

If you wish to download a copy of our Sports Rules please click here.

Outright betting
For all outright and tournament bets, including bets such as Win Group / Reach Final / Name Finalists, bets will be void if all scheduled matches are not played, unless the outcome is already determined. Future appeals and/or disqualifications will not affect betting.

If a series of rounds or matches (e.g. group stage) or a competition is not completed for any reason, bets placed after the last completed match will be void.

Match betting
Unless otherwise stated, all bets will be settled on the score at the end of regular time and without regard to any overtime. Unless otherwise stated, all match bets are based on the result at the end of the scheduled 60 minutes of play. If the scheduled 60 minutes are not played, bets will be void, except for alternative bets where the outcome has already been determined.

The following bet types include overtime/penalty shootout for settlement purposes.

Qualifies/Wins the trophy

For competitions that use the Mercy Rule, if this rule is invoked during a match, all bets will stand on the score at that point in time.

In the event of a change of venue, bets already placed will remain valid, provided that the home team remains designated as such. If a given match takes place at the away team's ground, bets will stand provided the home team is officially designated as such.

Otherwise, bets will be void.

Postponed, abandoned or interrupted matches
Postponed matches are cancelled unless they are played within five days of the originally scheduled date.

If a match is interrupted, but subsequently resumes (from the point at which it was stopped) and completes within 48 hours of its original schedule, all bets remain valid.

Otherwise, if the match resumes but does not complete within 48 hours of its original scheduled date, this will be considered an abandonment and bets on the original match will be void, except for bets whose outcome has already been determined before the first interruption.

If a match is interrupted for any reason and then completely replayed, this will be deemed an abandonment and bets on the original fixture will be void, except for bets where the outcome has already been determined before the first interruption.

Half-time score bets
The selected half must be completed for bets to stand, unless the outcome of the bet in question is already determined. This excludes overtime, if played.

Alternative bets on the match
All alternative bets on the match, including the following bets, will be settled at the end of regular time, regardless of any extra time.

Team's top scorer
Goals scored during the 60 minutes of regular time and extra time are taken into account, but not those scored during the penalty shootout. Dead-Heat rules apply. In any case, the recalculation of the odds will not result in the application of odds lower than 1. Bets are valid if a player participates in the tournament.

Top scorer of the tournament
Goals scored during the 60 minutes of regular time and extra time are taken into account, but not those scored during the penalty shootout. Dead-Heat rules apply. In any case, the recalculation of the odds will not result in the application of odds lower than 1. Bets are valid if a player participates in the tournament.

Live Bets
A match must be completed for bets to stand (unless the outcome of the bet in question is already determined). All live bets exclude possible overtime, except for the following:

To Qualify
