Betting Rules

Three way handicap – if this betting event outcome is selected, goals (points, etc.) are added to the final result (or deducted in case of negative advantage) of the chosen team or participant. When the result including the handicap is in favor of chosen team or participant, the bet is considered to be won. If the result is in favor of opposition, the bet is considered to be lost. In cases where the result including the chosen handicap is a draw, the handicap draw outcome is considered the winner and other outcomes the loser.

In the case of multiple sides or outcomes declared as winners of one event, the player's winnings are calculated by dividing the odds in the betslip from the number of winning sides or outcomes. The recounted odds cannot be lower than 1.

Asian Handicap is a double Handicap offer when the amount of a bet is divided into two equal parts. For example, if Asian Handicap (-1,-1.5) is offered and a bet of €100 is placed on the outcome, it is calculated that €50 is bet on Handicap (-1) and €50 on Handicap (-1.5). Because Asian Handicap is a double offer, the final winning odds can be lower than 1, and the amount of the winnings can be smaller than the original bet amount. For example, a bet of €100 is placed on an Arsenal – Chelsea game with an Asian Handicap (-1,-1.5) on Arsenal with the odds being 1,8, and it ended in 2:1. In that case, the €50 bet on Arsenal‘s Handicap (-1) is equated to 1, and the €50 bet on Arsenal‘s Handicap (-1.5) is lost. A €50 win is paid out.

Asian Total is a double Total offer when the amount of a bet is divided into two equal parts. For example, if there is an Asian Total (2;2.5) offered and a bet of €100 is placed on the outcome, it is calculated that a €50 bet is placed on Total (2) and a €50 bet is placed on Total (2.5). Because Asian Total is a double offer, the final winning odds can be lower than 1, and the amount of the winnings can be smaller than the original bet. For example, a bet of €100 is placed on an Arsenal – Chelsea game with an Asian Total Over (2;2.5) with the odds of 1,9 and the game has ended in 2:0. In that case, the €50 bet on the game‘s Total Over (2) is equated to 1 and the €50 bet on the game‘s Total Over (2.5) is lost. A €50 win is paid out.


When the circumstances of the game on which you have placed your bets change, you will be able to withdraw your money before the outcome is summarized – all you need to do is select the Cash Out feature in your betting history. The potential amount of the Cash Out will depend on the results of the team on which you have placed your bet and it can be either bigger or smaller than your original bet, giving you a chance to either increase your winnings or reduce the potential losses.

A Cash Out calculation example:

You have placed a €10 bet on your chosen team’s victory with the odds of 3, so your potential winnings would be €30. If during the game the odds become equal, you can reduce your risk by using the Cash Out feature and withdrawing more that you have bet. For example – if the opposite party’s odds rise to 2, by using the Cash Out feature you will increase your original bet amount to €15.

• Single Bet: Bet voided and clients should refund stake to customer
• Multiple Bets: If the selection is part of a multiple, we settle the bet as the next accumulative bet down, e.g. a treble becomes a double.

Place Betting

We offer 2, 3 or 4 place betting, depending on the number of runners and whether the race is a ‘Handicap’ race or not. We aim to mirror the number of place terms offered on the each-way market. Unlike each-way betting, where the place terms depend on the conditions of the race at the off, Place Only bets ‘stick’ at the time of placement, so the customer gets whatever terms were available when he placed his bet. Rule 4 applies to place betting markets also, where there are non-runners. The deduction corresponds to the price of the withdrawn horse at the time of withdrawal:

Price at withdrawal	2 place	3 Places	4 Places
1/9 or shorter	45p	30p	20p
2/11 to 2/17	40p	30p	20p
1/4 to 1/5	40p	25p	20p
3/10 to 2/7	35p	25p	20p
2/5 to 1/3	35p	25p	15p
8/15 to 4/9	30p	20p	15p
8/13 to 4/7	30p	20p	15p
4/5 to 4/6	25p	20p	15p
20/21 to 5/6	25p	15p	150

12/5 to 3/1	10p	10p	no deductions
10/3 to 4/1	10p	no deductions	no deductions
9/2 and over	no deductions	no deductions	no deductions

Deductions will not exceed 90p in the £ if 2 or more horses are withdrawn. Dead Heats

We treat dead heats by dividing the stake pro-rata by the number of dead-heating runners. For example, stakes are halved on a 2-way dead heat, divided by 3 on a 3-way dead heat, and so on. It is important to note that we divide the STAKE, not the ODDS..

Starting Price (SP)

The SP is the ‘starting price’, when placing a bet on horse racing or greyhounds we will be offering a fixed odds price and a starting price (SP). This price is taken from the racetrack. With UK and Ireland horse racing when you choose SP it doesn’t matter what the price is when the bet is placed, it is the price of the horse when the race starts that matters. This is the price we will pay out at.

Abandoned/Postponed

Bets will be void if:

 

• The race is abandoned/called off.
• The race is declared as void.
• Any of the race conditions change
• Entries change
• If the overnight declarations do not stand, all bets are void.

If a race is postponed to another date and final declarations stand, then bets which have placed remain valid. However, single bets are void. Any selection involved in multiple bet will be treated as a non-runner if:

 

• The race is abandoned.
• The race is declared as void.
• The conditions of the race are altered after bets are made (as defined under Tattersalls rules).
• The venue is altered.
• The running surface is altered (e.g. Turf to Dirt/All Weather or vice versa).

Stewards Enquiry/Demoted Horses

We only settle races once a weighed in result has been called. Before the ‘weighed in’ announcement, there may be a ‘stewards enquiry’, which is an enquiry held by the racecourse stewards. It is possible for the finishing order to be amended after a stewards enquiry, which is why we only settle bets after the ‘weighed in’ announcement.

Each way Betting

An Each Way bet is made up of 2 parts: a ‘win’ bet and a ‘place’ bet. ​ Each part is an equal stake, for example a £10 Each Way bet will have £10 on the ‘Win' and £10 on the ‘Place' (a total stake of £20).

The ‘Win' part of the bet is on the selection to win the event, and the ‘Place' part is on the selection to finish either first or in one of the predetermined places.

If the selection wins, both the ‘Win' and ‘Place' parts of the bet will pay out. But if the selection only places, the bet will lose the ‘Win' part but get paid out on the ‘Place'.

Place terms will be governed by the number of runners that come under Starters’ Orders, and not the number of runners at the time of bet placement. For example, an each-way bet struck with 8 runners in the field at the time of placement, which subsequently becomes a 7 runner race due to a non-runner or late withdrawal, will be settled at 1⁄4 odds 1,2.

The odds for the ‘Place' are given as a fraction of the odds for the ‘Win' and will be displayed when bets are struck.

For bets placed each-way that result in a field size of 4 runners or less, the whole stake is settled as win only. For multiples, bets will continue to be settled as win-win, place-place, however the place-place part of the bet will be treated as win only, ​ only​ for the race with 4 or fewer runners.

For horse racing, the ‘Place' part of Each Way bets will be given the following Place terms unless stated otherwise:

Non-Handicap Races:
2 - 4 Runners - Win Only
5 - 7 Runners - 1/4 the Odds 1, 2
8 or more Runners - 1/5 the Odds 1, 2, 3

Handicap Races:
2 - 4 Runners - Win Only
5 - 7 Runners - 1/4 the Odds 1, 2
8 - 11 Runners - 1/5 the Odds 1, 2, 3
12 - 15 Runners - 1/4 the Odds 1, 2, 3
16 or more Runners - 1/4 the Odds 1, 2, 3, 4
