General Rules

1. General Betting Rules

1.1 These Rules cover racing and all sports, but are superseded by any rules specific to racing or individual sports.

1.2 For all North American Sports and Soccer, unless otherwise specified, all Matches/races must be played in the scheduled day. Unless otherwise specified, for postponed or abandoned Matches/races, all bets shall be deemed void and all stakes returned. For all other sports, unless otherwise specified, Matches/races who are abandoned or whose start time is postponed and then rescheduled to a time more than 48 hours after the original start time, all bets will automatically be deemed void and all stakes returned.

1.3 Individual sports/events rules may override this rule so please refer to the individual sport/event rules applicable.

1.4 We reserve the right to resettle an event where an error has occurred with the resulting process or the Dividends declared. Where the resettlement is carried out 24 hours or more after the initial settlement, customers will be notified by email.

1.5 If a bet is void at any time, affected multiple bets (“multi-bet”) excluding Same Game and Same Race Multiple bets will be recalculated excluding that leg. If a leg of a single Same Game or Same Race multi-bet (not combined with another Same Game multi or Same Race Multi or any other bet) is void at any time, the whole Same Game multi-bet or Same Race multi-bet (as applicable) will be void. However where a Same Game multi or Same Race multi-bet is combined with one or more bets to form a larger multi-bet, if the Same Game multi or Same Race Multi leg is void at any time, the combined multi-bet will be recalculated excluding that leg. Noting that in these circumstances, selections within a Same Game multi or Same Race Multi are combined and considered as one leg.

1.6 The winner of an event or game shall be determined on the date of the event’s conclusion in accordance with the event’s rules and regulations. We shall not recognise suspended games, protests or overturned decisions for wagering purposes.

1.7 If a Match is abandoned before Full-Time has been played, bets on the Match outcome will be void, unless an official result is declared. Bets on all markets which have been unconditionally determined will stand, for example in Soccer, First goal-scorer bets will stand if a goal has been scored. Full-Time is determined by the rules of the specific sport.

1.8 Unless otherwise stated, overtime periods shall be counted as follows:

(a) On all Under/Over (totals) bets, overtime periods shall be counted in the final score.

(b) On all Half-Time wagers, overtime periods shall be counted as included in the second half.

1.9 Unless otherwise stated, in instances where a Match is called off while in progress, or the outcome is postponed to a later date, the official result, if any, declared by the Sporting Event’s Controlling Body will be used to determine the settlement of wagers placed on the outcome of an event. Any events that have been decided prior to the calling off or postponement of the event shall stand.

1.10 In any competition where the draw is not offered as an explicit three-way option (excluding North American Sports and Mixed Martial Arts) any bets placed on a drawn event shall be resulted in accordance with Dead Heat rules:

(a) Full face value of the ticket (stake + payout) divided by the number of the Dead Heat count. For example, a bet on England vs. Australia in Rugby Union, $100 England @ 1.90 would return $95.

(b) Dead Heats or Draws in North American Sports and Basketball will be resulted in accordance with Dead Heat rules.

1.11 Except for Same Game multi-bets and Same Race multi-bets, multiple bets shall not be accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of another. If a client inadvertently or deliberately takes a related contingency in a multiple bet, the bet shall be deemed void, and the stakes returned.

1.12 Except for Same Game multi-bets, Same Race multi-bets and bets placed on North American Sports where sides and totals make up a multiple bet, a multiple bet made up of more than one selection from the same event shall be deemed a related contingency.

1.13 Except for Same Game multi-bets and Same Race multi-bets, a multiple bet involving the same team or its players, or the same selection will be deemed a related contingency.

1.14 In cases where we offer an enhanced price for multiple bets, such as Doubles or Trebles, any non-Runners will be treated as void selections. For example, a Treble with a non-Runner will be settled as a double on the remaining selections. The prices for the remaining selections will be based on the advertised prices and not the enhanced odds.

1.15 In the event of an event being offered for which we do not currently have specific rules, we will undertake to provide relevant trading terms and conditions at that time. This includes looking for suitable parallels within these Rules to aide determining the outcome for any bets affected by the circumstance. Any such determination of us shall be final and binding upon all investors and upon every person making a claim.

1.16 Unless stated otherwise, if a Match is postponed to another day than originally scheduled or cancelled, any bets struck prior to the originally scheduled start of this Match will be deemed void. All bets stand on any Match that is delayed prior to the scheduled start time that takes place on the same day (local time). The only exceptions are Matches that take place within a fixed date tournament framework, e.g., Olympic Games, Tennis Tournaments, European Championships Finals, World Cup Finals, where bets will stand (does not apply to non-tennis qualifying Matches taking place outside of the fixed date tournament framework). See individual sport rules for superseding rules relevant to postponed Matches for individual sports.

7.6 All Victorian Thoroughbred race deductions are governed by Racing Victoria. The total cumulative deductions in a Racing Victoria thoroughbred race are limited to 75 cents.

8. Win Limits

8.1 All amounts are expressed in New Zealand Dollars (“NZD”).

8.2 The win limit is the maximum amount that can be won by one player (i.e., player return less player bet cost) per bet type, per race, for all winning bets. This means that losing bets are not considered when determining the player’s maximum win. For Place Bet win limits, the win limit is the maximum amount that can be won on each place-getter, per race, per player.

8.4 The win limits stipulated herein include all winnings derived from wagers placed by the player on each bet type, per race (or per individual place-getter in the case of Place Bets), regardless of whether the bet is included as an element of a multiple, a group of multiples, or as a single wager.

8.5 It is the responsibility of each account holder to be aware of the limits expressed herein, and we shall not be in any way responsible for communicating such limits in any other form or via any other medium at the time that the wager(s) is/are placed.

15. Jockey Challenge

15.1 “Jockey Challenge” is betting on a jockey achieving the highest aggregate points scored in accordance with these rules for achieving a place in races conducted at a particular race meeting or over a racing carnival. A racing carnival shall include a series of race meetings as approved by the relevant racing authority. In the case of two or more jockeys finishing the day on the same amount of points, Dead Heat rules apply. This is regardless of the number of outright winners ridden by either of those jockeys.

15.2 Prior to commencement of betting, we will prepare a list of jockeys and opening prices. The list may include an “any other” price option to cover any jockey who is not included in the original list. At all times the “any other” option shall be treated as one entity.

15.3 If any individual jockey in the market does not start at least one ride for the meeting, all wagers on that jockey will be refunded. All other bets will remain at the odds taken.

15.4 For wagers on any Jockey Challenge to stand, all races scheduled for the race meeting must be run and correct weight declared. If the meeting is postponed, abandoned, or any race is declared a “no-race” by the Stewards, all wagers on the Jockey Challenge for that meeting will be cancelled and the monies refunded unless there is an unassailable leader in which case all bets will stand.

15.5 No points shall be allocated in relation to a race scheduled to be conducted at a race meeting if that race is postponed to another race meeting, abandoned or declared a no-race by the Stewards on the day of the race meeting.

15.6 The winner will be the jockey who has the most points accumulated at the end of the competition. Points will be accrued per race and calculated as follows:

(a) 3 points for a winning ride

(b) 2 points for a second placed ride

(c) 1 point for a third placed ride

15.7 Points will only be allocated to the jockey(s) who actually ride(s) the winning or placed horse(s) in a race. Points will not be allocated to any rider who may have been engaged to ride a horse but was subsequently replaced by permission or direction of the Stewards.

15.8 There will be no refunds of bets should a jockey be replaced by another rider.

15.9 In the event of a Dead Heat for any or all of the placings jockey points will be allocated on a proportionate fractional basis, as an example:

Dead Heat for a Win

Dead Heat for Second

Dead Heat for Third

15.11 In the event of two or more jockeys being tied on the same number of points at the completion of the competition all successful bets will be paid according to Dead Heats Rule 1.4.

15.12 Place Betting on Jockey Challenges is operated per Rule 3. For the sake of clarity, “Runners” shall be taken to mean “Jockeys” for the purposes of this Rule 15.

15.13 Allocated points will not be subject to change in the case of any future disqualification. Any disputation regarding the declared winner will be adjudicated by Racing stewards whose decision shall be final.

15.14 Payment will be declared at the end of each race meeting or carnival, unless otherwise directed by the Stewards.

16. Favourite vs the Field

16.1 “Favourite vs the Field” bets are available on selected races. The designated “favourite” in the Favourite vs the Field is the favourite nominated by us and may not necessarily be the prevailing favourite.

16.2 If the nominated favourite is Scratched then all wagers are void and will be refunded. “The Field” comprises all other Runners apart from the nominated favourite. If there is a Scratching from “the Field”, then all bets stand, but are subject to deductions. In the event of a Dead Heat, the Dead Heat Rule applies.

16.3 The price may be fixed. If there is a ‘*’ next to the price, this indicates that the price is subject to change or yet to be determined.

17. Odds v Evens

17.1 Odds v Evens bets will be available on selected events only. Select whether the winning Runner of the race will be wearing an Odd or Even saddlecloth, or greyhound rug number. Dead Heat Rules apply.

18.1 Head-to-Head Bets will be available on selected events only and will include two Runners from the same race.

18.2 Bets are settled on the highest finishing position as declared by the Stewards.

18.4 Bets will be deemed void where either or both Runners are Scratched prior to the race.

18.5 If neither of the Runners finish within the top five placings of the race (as declared by the Racing Stewards), bets on the two Runners will be void.

19. Pick Your Own Odds (PYOO)

19.1 A winning Pick Your Own Odds bet is one in which your Runner wins and the official margin is greater than the margin you have selected. If you select a margin that is the same as the official margin, your bet is not a winner.

20. Pick Your Margin (PYM)

20.1 Pick Your Margin bets may be available on the final field market in selected races. A winning Pick Your Margin bet is one in which you successfully select a specified margin by which a Runner will win a race and/or finish behind the winner.

20.2 In the event a Runner with fixed price odds of $6.00 or less is Scratched after the Pick Your Margin market is made available, all wagers are void and will be refunded. In the event a Runner with fixed price odds of $6.01 or more is Scratched after the Pick Your Margin market is made available, all wagers on the specific Scratched Runner are void and will be refunded.

21. Singapore and Hong Kong Racing

21.1 Not applicable.

22. French Racing

22.1 Not applicable.

23. USA Racing – Fixed Odds

23.1 For all USA racing where fixed pricing is offered, the starting price is the last Fixed Odds offered by us on that race. If we do not offer Fixed Odds on that race, the final Dividend will be paid based on the US Tote Dividend provided by EasyGate.

24. USA Racing – Tote Derivative Betting

24.1 Not applicable.

25. Mystery Bet

25.1 A Mystery Bet is a bet that is offered on a selected event in which the selections are automatically chosen by us for the customer.

25.2 A Mystery Bet may be available on the following bet types (when the equivalent non-mystery bet type is available on the same race):

(a) Boxed Quinella

(b) Boxed Trifecta

(c) Boxed Exacta; and

(d) Boxed First 4

25.3 Once the bet type is selected, the selected Runners in the Mystery Bet will be randomly selected by us and will be notified to the customer after the bet is placed and confirmed.

25.4 The relevant Rules set out above in Rule 4 will apply to Mystery Bets.

25.5 Mystery Bets are not available with multi-bets.

25.6 Cash Out and other promotions (including, but not limited to Odds Boost and Toolbox products) are not eligible to be used with Mystery Bets.

26. Blended Betting

26.1 For a Blended bet to be placed, the Blended bet price must be equal to or more than $1.10.

26.2 In the event that a Runner from the race is Scratched, the Blended bet odds will be recalculated based on the remaining selections. Relevant deductions will be applied in accordance with Rule 7. If all selections are Scratched, then the Blended bet is refunded.

26.3 In the event of a Dead Heat between a Runner in the Blended bet and a Runner not in the Blended bet, the stake will get divided by the number of entrants in the Dead Heat and paid out at the Blended bet odds.

26.4 In the event of a Dead Heat with another Runner from the same Blended bet, the Blended bet will be paid in full.

26.5 Relevant deductions will be applied to the individual Runners in accordance with Rule 7, then the Blended bet odds will be recalculated.

27. Live Betting on Racing, Bet Live

27.1 We do not offer Live Betting on racing.

28. Racing Extras

28.1 Racing Extras betting encompasses markets that are made available through the “Racing Extras” section of the betting platform. These markets may include (for example, but not limited to):

(a) Jockey number of winners;

(b) Box ‘X’ number of winners (at a greyhound meet);

(c) Driver number of winners;

(d) Trainer number of winners.

28.2 A Racing Extras selection must participate in at least one (1) of the races that they were originally scheduled to participate in for bets on that selection to be valid and resulted. Where a selection does not participate whatsoever, all bets on that selection will be void and refunded.

28.3 For the “Box ‘X’ number of winners” market type only, where a particular box is affected by a Scratching (or Scratchings) and the number of Scratched Runners is equal to or greater than the number of Runners that a particular contingency lost by (the number of winners still needed to win), bets on that contingency will be void and refunded. For clarity, bets that achieve their particular contingency despite Scratching(s) will stand and be resulted accordingly.

(a) As an example of the operation of Rule 28.3:

(i) A bet has taken Box 5 to have 3+ winners. At the end of the race meet, Box 5 has one winner, but two of its Runners were Scratched from the meet. Box 5 could potentially have reached the required three winners if the Scratched Runners ran their races. Instead of being resulted as ‘no return’, this bet will be void and refunded.

28.4 Where a selection is involved in a Dead Heat for first place of a race at the relevant race meet, the selection will be considered as having a winner in that race for resulting purposes.

28.5 For contingencies where one (1) outright winner is expected, in the event of two or more selections being tied at the conclusion of the race meet, the relevant successful bets will be paid according to Dead Heats Rule 1.4.

28.6 If the relevant meeting for a Racing Extras market is postponed or cancelled, all wagers on that Racing Extras market will be void and refunded.

(a) If a wager is affected by Rule 28.6 but, at the time of the postponement or abandonment, the Minimum winning criteria of the contingency for the wager has already been achieved (such as, but not limited to, three (3) winners have already run for ‘jockey to have 3+ winners’), that particular bet will instead stand and be resulted accordingly. For the sake of clarity, this Rule 28.6 cannot and does not apply to any Racing Extras contingencies that rely on the selection to perform ‘under’ a certain benchmark (for example, but not limited to, ‘box 8 to have under two winners’).

Rules for Totalisator Race Investments are Contained in Schedule 1 of These Betting Rules

Sports Rules

1. General Sports Betting Rules

1.1 General sports rules cover all sports but are superseded by any rules specific to individual sports.

1.2 Bets will only be accepted up to the official starting time of an event, unless:

(a) it is an In Play bet; or

(b) the event commences before the official starting time, in which case only wagers accepted before the start of the game will be considered valid.

A bet is deemed void (even if accepted) in all other cases.

1.3 Abandoned Matches

If a Match is abandoned before Full-Time has been played, bets on the Match outcome will be void unless an official result is declared. Bets on all markets which have been unconditionally determined will stand, for example in Soccer, First goal-scorer bets will stand if a goal has been scored. Full-Time is determined by the rules of the specific sport.

1.4 Cup/Trophy Competitions

Unless we advertise other terms, we will settle outright betting on the player or team that lifts the trophy.

1.5 Knock Out Competitions

Tournament betting will be settled on the player or team that wins the trophy. We will settle bets in knockout competitions, on the competitor who qualifies for the next round. This applies as long as the Match has started and is not drawn and replayed. If the Match is drawn and replayed, bets will stand on the replayed Match.

1.6 Non-Runners

Sports bets are accepted ‘All-In, compete or not’ and if a player or team is withdrawn before they have taken part in the event (in any way), your bet is a loser. If the event is advertised ‘Non Runner, no bet’, stakes will be refunded on a player or team withdrawn prior to the start of an event.

1.7 Outright/Tournament and Handicap Betting

When odds for both Outright/Tournament and Handicap Betting are advertised, the bet will be settled on the Outright/Tournament result unless the Handicap price is specifically selected at the time the bet was placed. Where only Handicap Betting is available the bet will be settled as a Handicap bet whether selected or not.

1.8 Player/Team Withdrawn After the Official Start

If a player or team has taken any part in the sporting event once it has officially started and then fails to compete for any reason whatsoever, your bet will be a losing bet.

1.9 Related Bets

Multiplied odds do not normally apply for the same selection to win more than one event and the only bets available at the current odds are singles. We may have special prices available that apply to selected Doubles, Trebles, multis and so on.

Please ask us for the special prices available.

(a) If we accept in error a bet made up of Doubles, Trebles etc., at the individual event prices, we will settle your bet at the special price available at the time you placed it. If a special price was not available, we will divide your stake equally as singles at the individual event prices available at the time you placed the bet.

(b) If you take a special double price for the same selection in two events and the selection does not take part in one of them, your bet will be settled as follows:

(i) If you have placed your bet before the ‘day of event’ for both events, our normal Futures rules apply. This means that if your selection does not take part in one of the events we will settle your bet as a loser. This applies even if your selection has been successful in the other event.

(ii) If you have placed your bet on the ‘day of the event’ for one of the events and your ‘day of event’ selection does not take part, this will be treated as a non-Runner and the bet will become a single for the remaining Futures event. We will then settle your bet based on the price and place terms available at the time you placed your bet (normal Futures bets apply).

(c) When we offer prices on different selections in the same event, these cannot be combined in accumulative bets where the outcome is related. The only exception to this is where special prices are made available, e.g., a Scorecast on a soccer Match. If such a bet is accepted in error, we will settle the bet by dividing the stake unit equally where the related outcomes clash.

1.10 Results

In the case of soccer and other sports, bets are settled on the first result published by the official source/governing body or alternatively the official website of the relevant event, immediately after the Match/Event is finished. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.

If the result is not immediately available from the official source/governing body or the official website of the relevant event, or there is significant evidence that the official source/governing body or official website is incorrect, we will use independent sources to decide settlement. In the absence of any consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.

Please refer to specific rules for individual events.

1.11 Season Handicap Betting

Season Handicap bets are settled by adding (or subtracting) the Handicap start value to the final points total of all selections in the market at the end of the season. In the event of a tie, Dead Heat rules apply. Bets are void if number of Matches in season is changed after placement of bet, unless the result was already determined at the point of the schedule changing.

1.12 Venue Changes

If your team is no longer playing at the venue advertised, your bet will still stand. This applies as long as the venue has not been changed to the opponent’s ground (or in the case of international Matches, as long as the venue remains in the same country).

1.13 Postpone/Re-arranged Matches

A postponed Match/race (or event in the case of novelty markets) is void unless it is rescheduled to commence within 48 hours of the original start time. In such circumstances, where void Matches are included in an accumulator the bet will be settled on the remaining selections. Individual sports/events rules may override this rule if applicable.

1.14 Season Match Betting

Season Match bets are settled on which of two selections will place highest in the league at the end of the season. If teams finish level on points then the tie breaker used by the league (e.g., goal difference or Head-to-Head records) will decide the winner. If the season is not completed, i.e., no premiership is awarded by the governing body, all bets will be void.

1.15 Top League/Tournament Scorer

Bets placed on a player to be the top scorer in a given league are based on regular season games only. Any scores in subsequent play-off games do not count for betting purposes. Once a player is named in the squad and has the opportunity to play in the league that season, bets will stand. Bets placed on a player to be the top scorer in a given tournament will stand as long as the player is named in the squad and has the opportunity to play in the named tournament. If more than one player finishes on the same score, then Dead Heat rules apply. Bets stand irrespective of whether a player transfers to another team(s) within the same league.

1.16 Futures/Outrights

Unless stated otherwise, all bets will stand regardless of postponements unless the official sporting governing body declares that the tournament/competition has been cancelled with no official winner, in which case bets will be void.

1.17 Odd/Even Markets

For all Odd/Even markets, zero will be deemed to be an Even number. In the event that there is no score, Even will be settled as the winning selection for all Odd/Even markets unless otherwise specified.

1.18 Line/Handicap Markets

Where scores are level after the Line/Handicap has been applied, single bets will be refunded unless a draw price has been offered. If the selection was part of a Same Game Multi, the whole Same Game Multi will be refunded. If the selection was part of a multi-bet, that selection will be voided and the multi-bet will be recalculated excluding that leg.

For example – If bets were placed on Tampa Bay (-7) and Tampa Bay won a Match by a score of 20–13, the following would occur:

  • Single bets on Tampa Bay (-7) will be refunded
  • For all Same Game multi-bets featuring Tampa Bay (-7), the whole Same Game multi will be refunded
  • For all multi-bets featuring Tampa Bay (-7), that selection will be voided and the multi-bet will continue with all remaining legs and will be recalculated excluding the Tampa Bay (-7) leg.

1.19 Totals Markets

Where a total lands on exactly the same number as the total given, single bets will be refunded unless otherwise specified. If the selection was part of a Same Game Multi, the whole Same Game Multi will be refunded unless otherwise specified. If the selection was part of a multi-bet, that selection will be voided (unless otherwise specified) and the multi-bet will be recalculated excluding that leg.

For example – if bets were placed on Over 47 points in the Tampa Bay v New England Match and Tampa Bay won the Match by a score of 27-20, the following would occur:

  • Single bets on Over 47 points will be refunded
  • For all Same Game multi-bets featuring Over 47 points, the whole Same Game multi will be refunded
  • For all multi-bets featuring Over 47 points, that selection will be voided and the multi-bet will continue with all remaining legs and will be recalculated excluding the Over 47 points leg

1.20 Line/Over Under Double and Winner/Over Under Double Market

When one portion of the selection lands on exactly the same number as the line or total given in the market and the remaining portion wins, Dead Heat rules apply to those selections. Both Portions of the selection must win in order for the selection to be deemed a winning bet. If one portion of the selection loses, the whole selection will be deemed a losing bet.

For example – If bets were placed on a line/over under double market in the Arizona v Seattle Match and Arizona were to win the Match by a score of 38–15, the following would occur for each selection in the market:

  • Seattle +23/Over 50 – Dead Heat rules would apply to this selection as Seattle lost the Match by exactly 23 points, therefore only one portion (over 50 points) of the selection has won and the other portion (Seattle +23) has tied
  • Seattle +23/Under 50 – This is a losing selection as there were 53 points in the Match. Therefore as one portion of the selection is a loss, the whole selection is a loss
  • Arizona -23/Over 50 – Dead Heat rules would apply to this selection as Arizona won the Match by 23 points, therefore only one portion (over 50 points) of the selection has won and the other portion (Arizona -23) has tied.
  • Arizona -23/Under 50 – This is a losing selection as there were 53 points in the Match. Therefore as one portion of the selection is a loss, the whole selection is a loss.

If both portions of the selection were to land exactly on the line and total, the market will be void.

2. American Football

2.1 Bets will be settled on the official result. If a game ends in a tie after overtime has been played Dead Heat Rule applies to all money line wagers (except three way money line markets). Overtime counts except for bets on Double Result and three way money line markets, where overtime is not included.

2.2 At least 55 minutes of play must be completed from the start of the first quarter for bets to have action (to be valid), unless otherwise stated.

2.3 Postponements

(b) If a Match has been completed but the result is later deemed void then all bets will be settled on the original result regardless of any subsequently rearranged fixture.

34.6 To Win Both Halves

The 90 minute Match is treated as two separate 45 minute ‘mini-matches’ and therefore your selection must score more goals than the other team in each of the two halves.

For example, if your selection scores in the first half of a Match and the Match finishes 1–0, although the first half was won 1–0 , the score in the second 45 minutes was effectively 0–0 and therefore a draw. If this occurs, only the first half is considered to have been ‘won’ and therefore bets would be losers.

Bets on the player that withdraws or is disqualified will be void. If the first set has not been completed, all Match bets will be void.

(b) If a Match does not reach a natural conclusion, any markets (besides Match betting) that are not unconditionally determined will be void. In the event of a change to playing surface, venue or change from indoor court to outdoor and vice versa, all bets stand.

The full number of sets required to win the Match must be completed. If a player is awarded the Match prior to the full number of sets being completed, all set betting on that Match will be void.

38.4 Bet in Play

(a) Game by Game Betting

(i) A game is defined as an ordinary game (not a tie break) which is completed on the same day that it commenced.

(ii) If a game is completed after an interruption for any reason that game shall be deemed to be complete for betting purposes.

(iii) If a game is completed by the awarding of a penalty point by the umpire, the game shall be deemed to be complete. However if a game is completed by the awarding of a penalty game by the umpire, the game shall be void, and all stakes shall be returned.

38.5 Handicap Betting

This bet is based on the number of games each player wins in a given Match. E.g. a player given a 3.5 game start on the Handicap who loses 7–6, 7–6, 7–6, would be the winner for Handicap Betting purposes. If a player is awarded the Match due to a withdrawal prior to the full number of sets being completed, all Handicap bets on that Match will be void unless, at the time of the withdrawal, the result of the Handicap Betting is already determined.

38.6 Total Games

Bets on the total number of games in a Match will be over/under a particular number, e.g. 21.5 games. In the event of a retirement, bets will be void unless at the time of the withdrawal the result of the total games is already determined e.g. If a Match is abandoned at 6–4 4–4, bets on Over/Under 19.5 games or fewer in the Match are settled as winners/losers respectively, since any conclusion to the Match would have to have had at least 20 games.

38.7 To Win/Lose 1st Set and Win the Match

If either player withdraws from the Match before the Match finishes, bets will be void.

38.8 Match Tiebreaks

(a) In some competitions, an extended Tie-Break (Match Tie-Break – sometimes referred to as a “Super Tie-Break”) is played in place of a final deciding set. For settlement purposes, this Match Tie-Break will be considered as one set (for set-related markets) and one game (for game-related markets). For example, in a ‘Best of three sets’ Match, if Team A won the first set 6–0, Team B won the second set 6–0 and then Team B went on to win the Match Tie-Break, then the market Set Betting would be settled as 2–1 in Team B’s favour. The market Total Games would be settled against a total of 13 games.

(i) Next Game Winner

(ii) Next Game Score Betting

(iii) Next Game Points

(iv) Next Game to go to Deuce

(c) If the next game is a regular game (i.e. not a Match Tie-Break) then bets will be settled as usual. E.g, Team A has won the first set 6-0 and Team B is winning the second set 5–0, with the 12th game of the Match currently in progress. If Team A win the 12th game, taking the second set score to 5–1, then bets placed on the markets ‘Next Game Winner’, ‘Next Game Score Betting’, ‘Next Game Points’ and ‘Next Game to go to Deuce’ will be settled according to the result of game 13 (which will be the 7th game in set two). If Team B wins the 12th game, taking the Match to one set all, the markets will all be settled as void.

38.9 IPTL (International Premier Tennis League)

(a) Substitute Players

If during a set a player is substituted, all bets including “bet in play” will stand. If a set doesn’t start with the players indicated, all bets on that set will be void.

Where a Dead Heat occurs, the Dividend Bearing Places shall be the first two Entrants determined as such according to the Official Result, notwithstanding that a Dead Heat between two or more Race Entrants may cause the number of Race Entrants eligible to fill the Dividend Bearing Places to be more than two; and

12.4 Dividend Pool

The Dividend Pool shall be divided into as many equal parts as there are Dividend Bearing Places provided such Dividend bearing Race Entrants have units of Place Betting invested on them. Each part is then distributed equally amongst those units of Place Betting that have selected the Race Entrant to place.

Should any part of the Dividend Pool be less than the number of units of Place Betting to be paid by that part, then that part will be supplemented from that race’s Place Betting Deductions until that part is equal to the corresponding number of units of betting.

Should such Deductions be exhausted and that part is still less than the corresponding number of units of betting, then it shall be further supplemented up to the required amount, by equal amounts of money being transferred from the remaining parts.

12.5 Dead Heats

In the event of a Dead Heat causing there to be more Race Entrants, filling a Dividend Bearing Place, than there are Dividend Bearing Places, then only those parts of the Dividend Pool from Rule 11.4 affected by the Dead Heat will be further divided equally into as many sub-parts as there are Race Entrants (with units of betting on them) involved in the Dead Heat.

(a) If the judge, stewards or judicial committee make an error regarding such determination and subsequently correct their error in accordance with the Rules of Racing, the First Four Placings shall be the Race Entrants which the judge, stewards or judicial committee, after correcting their error, determine to be the first four Entrants according to the Official Result;

(b) The disqualification of any Race Entrants that have been placed among the first four Entrants shall not affect the determination of the First Four Placings for the purposes of First4 betting if the disqualification resulted from a protest lodged after the expiration of the period allowed by the Rules of Racing from lodging such protests;

(c) Where a Dead Heat occurs, the First Four Placings shall be the first four Entrants across the finishing line in the order in which they are placed by the judge, stewards or judicial committee, except that:

(i) A Dead Heat between two or more Race Entrants may cause the number of Race Entrants eligible to fill the First Four Placings to be more than four; and

(ii) Where a Dead Heat occurs for a particular placing, all dead-heating Entrants shall be deemed to hold that placing and the immediate placing or placings below shall be skipped for the purpose of placing the other Entrants. For example, for a Dead Heat for second place the First Four Placings shall be as follows – “first”, “second”, “second”, “fourth”; and

(d) If the judge, stewards or judicial committee are unable or fail to determine the First Four Placings, TAB may determine the First Four Placings.

Succeeding First4 Race

or if there is none

(b) means the Code Prize Reserve Pool.

18.2 Race Upon Which TAB May Conduct First4 Betting

18.3 Method of First4 Betting

18.4 Dividend Pool

Subject to Rule 18.5 relating to Dead Heats, Rule 18.8 relating to Termination and Rule 18.9 relating to a Declaration of less than four placings, the Dividend Pool shall be distributed as follows:

(a) The Dividend Pool shall be distributed equally amongst those units of betting that have selected the First Four Placings in the correct order in the First4 Race, provided that the sum of those winning units of betting is equal to or greater than the Dividend Unit.

(b) Where the sum of winning units of betting is less than the Dividend Unit, the Dividend Pool will be declared as the Dividend and winning units of betting will receive their proportional share of the Dividend Pool. The balance of the Dividend Pool, less any Guaranteed Pool Shortfall (which will be returned to the Code Prize Reserve Pool), will be carried forward and added to the Subsequent First4 Dividend Pool.

(c) If no unit of betting has selected the First Four Placings in the correct order in a First4 Race, the Dividend Pool, less any Guaranteed Pool Shortfall (which will be returned to the Code Prize Reserve Pool), will be carried forward and added to the Subsequent First4 Dividend Pool.

(d) In circumstances where a Dividend Pool is terminating and there are no Winners i.e., countback provisions have been exhausted and the Dividend Pool is distributed amongst all units of betting e.g., the winning permutation is Any/Any/Any/Any, then the Dividend may be less than the Dividend unit.

18.5 Dead Heats

If a Dead Heat or Dead Heats occur in the First Four Places in a First4 Race:

(a) The number of unique permutations of Race Entrants filling or sharing First, Second, Third and Fourth Places (the Winning Permutations) will be greater than one.

Each Winning Permutation is entitled to a Dividend.

(b) However, should the number of Winning Permutations determined by Rule 18.5(a) be greater than twelve, then the Placing(s) that caused the number of Winning Permutations to exceed twelve, will not be taken into account. E.g if there is a triple Dead Heat for First and a triple Dead Heat for Fourth, the Fourth placing causes the number of Winning Permutations to reach eighteen and therefore fourth placing will not be taken into account, leaving six Winning Permutations; the three Race Entrants involved in the triple Dead Heat for First finishing First, Second and Third in any order, together with any Race Entrant in Fourth.

(c) To calculate the Dividend attributable to each Winning Permutation, the Dividend Pool will be divided into the number of equal parts corresponding to the number of Winning Permutations determined by Rule 18.5(a) and (b). Each part Dividend Pool may contain a pro rata part of any Guaranteed Pool Shortfall and each Winning Permutation together with their corresponding part Dividend Pool and part Guaranteed Shortfall shall be respectively treated as the First Four Placings, Dividend Pool and Guaranteed Pool Shortfall for the purposes of calculating Dividends in accordance with Rule 18.4.

(i) Any Bonus Supplement, together with any amount brought forward to that First4 Dividend Pool is transferred to the Subsequent First4 Dividend Pool; and

(ii) In respect of Rule 18.4 the First Four Placings will be deemed to be the First Placed Race Entrant with Second, Third and Fourth being any other Race Entrants.

19. Quaddie Betting

19.1 Interpretation

In Rule 19 unless the context otherwise requires:

Quaddie” is a bet type whereby the investor endeavours to select the Winner in each of the four Races as designated by TAB.

Winner” means the Race Entrant determined as the Winner according to the Official Result, provided that:

(a) if the judge, stewards or judicial committee make an error regarding such determination and subsequently correct the error in accordance with the Rules of Racing, the Winner shall be the Race Entrant in respect of which the judge, stewards or judicial committee, after correcting their error, determine as the Winner according to the Official Result; and

(b) the disqualification of the Race Entrant on which the Win Dividend has been paid shall not affect the Entrant’s status as Winner if the disqualification resulted from a protest lodged after the expiration of the period allowed by the Rules of Racing for the lodging of such protests.

19.2 Races Upon Which TAB May Conduct Quaddie Betting

Quaddie betting may be conducted on such Races as TAB may determine from time to time.

19.3 Method of Quaddie betting

A Quaddie bet is placed by the Investor selecting a Race Entrant or Entrants in each of the four Races of a Quaddie.

19.4 Dividend Pool

Subject to Rule 19.4 relating to Dead Heats and Rule 19.8 relating to Termination, the Dividend Pool shall be distributed as follows:

(a) The Dividend Pool shall be distributed equally amongst those units of betting that have selected the Winner in each of the four Races of the Quaddie, provided that the sum of those winning units of betting is equal to or greater than the Dividend Unit.

(b) Where the sum of winning units of betting is less than the Dividend Unit, the Dividend Pool will be declared as the Dividend and the winning units of betting will receive their proportional share of the Dividend Pool. The balance of the Dividend Pool will be added to the Code Prize Reserve Pool.

(c) If no unit of betting has selected the Winners in all four Races of the Quaddie, the Dividend Pool will be added to the Code Prize Reserve Pool.

(d) In circumstances where the Dividend Pool is terminating and there are no Winners i.e., countback provisions have been exhausted, and the Dividend Pool is distributed amongst all units of betting, then the Dividend may be less than the Dividend unit.

19.5 Dead Heats

If a Dead Heat occurs in one or more Quaddie Races:

(a) The number of unique permutations of Race Entrants filling or sharing First in each Quaddie Race (the Winning Permutations) will be greater than one. E.g. if there is a Dead Heat for First in the first Quaddie Race there will be two Winning Permutations; the two Race Entrants involved in the Dead Heat separately with the other three winners of the remaining Quaddie Races. Each Winning Permutation is entitled to a Dividend.

(b) However, should the number of Winning Permutations determined by 19.4(a) be greater than eight, then the Quaddie Race that caused the number of Winning Permutations to exceed eight, as well as any subsequent Quaddie Race, will not be taken into account. E.g if there is a triple Dead Heat for First in the first Quaddie Race and a triple Dead Heat for First in the third Quaddie race, the third Quaddie race causes the number of Winning Permutations to reach nine and therefore the third and fourth Quaddie Races will not be taken into account, leaving three Winning Permutations; the three Race Entrants involved in the triple dead head in the first Quaddie Race separately with the winner of the second Quaddie Race together with Any Race Entrant in both the third and fourth Quaddie Races.

(c) To calculate the Dividend attributable to each Winning Permutation, the Dividend Pool will be divided into the number of equal parts corresponding to the number of Winning Permutations determined by 19.4(a) and (b). Each part Dividend Pool may contain a pro rata part of any Guaranteed Pool Shortfall and each Winning Permutation together with their corresponding part Dividend Pool and part Guaranteed Pool Shortfall shall be respectively treated as the Winners of the four Quaddie Races, Dividend Pool and Guaranteed Pool Shortfall for the purposes of calculating Dividends through Rule 19.3.

19.6 Scratchings

Where a Race Entrant is Scratched from any of the four Races of a Quaddie, TAB will substitute an alternative selection for that Entrant after the closing time for receipt of Quaddie bets.

19.7 Refunds

After the closing time for Quaddie Investments, no Investor shall obtain a refund except where all Races of the Quaddie have been abandoned, in accordance with Rule 19.7.

19.8 Abandonments

(a) Where any Race in a Quaddie is abandoned, all Selections on that Race shall be deemed to be winners and the Dividend Pool will be divided on that basis, but:

(i) the Dividend Pool will not include any Bonus Supplement or Guaranteed Pool Shortfall; and

(ii) any Bonus Supplement or Guaranteed Pool Shortfall will be returned to the Code Prize Reserve Pool.

(b) Where all Races of a Quaddie are abandoned:

(i) all units of Quaddie betting will be refunded. Refunds will not include any Bonus Supplement or Guaranteed Pool Shortfall; and

(ii) any Bonus Supplement or Guaranteed Pool Shortfall will be returned to the Code Prize Reserve Pool.

19.9 Termination

Subject to Rule 19.7 relating to Abandonments, TAB may terminate any Dividend Pool.

(a) The Dividend Pool shall be distributed equally amongst those units of betting that have selected the Winner in each of the four Races.

(b) If there are no units of betting that have selected the Winner in each of the four races of the Quaddie, the Dividend Pool shall be distributed equally amongst those units of betting in accordance with the following count-back system:
