Settlement of Wagers

Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or event will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.

In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.

General

All match markets will be settled including overtime if played unless otherwise stated. Regulation time must be completed for bets to stand, unless otherwise stated. If the duration of a match is changed by the governing body prior to the commencement of play, the revised match length will be regarded as the official regulation time for this match, and all bets will stand as long as this new regulation time is completed.

Postponed, Interrupted, and Matches not Played as Listed

Postponed Matches

Postponed matches are no action unless re-arranged and played within 5 days of the original scheduled match time.

Interrupted Matches

If a match is interrupted but subsequently resumed (from the point in the match at which it was interrupted) and played to a finish within 48 hours of the original scheduled match time, all bets will stand on the match.

Otherwise, if the match is resumed but not finished within 48 hours of the original scheduled match time, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original match will be deemed no action, except for bets whose outcome(s) had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in the match.

If a match is interrupted for any reason, and is replayed in full, this will be treated as an abandonment and bets on the original match will be deemed no action, except for bets whose outcome(s) had already been determined, prior to the initial interruption in the match.

Matches not Played as Listed

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 away team for a listed match are reversed, then bets placed based on the original listing will be deemed no action.

Season Betting

With the exception of Premiership winner, AFL seasonal markets offered will be regular season only, and based on the official AFL ladder. If in any market teams are tied, the winner will be deemed the team with the best percentage. (Worst percentage for Wooden Spoon).

For all Season Futures and Tournament specific markets, including markets such as To Win Group/To Reach The Final/Name The Finalists, bets will be deemed no action if the scheduled number of games are not completed, unless the outcome is already determined. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect bets.

If a specific series of matches, stages or round (e.g., Group Phase), or a competition in its entirety is not completed for any reason, then where bets have been placed on a market after the final completed relevant event, bets will be deemed no action.

Most Losses (Regular Season)

Settled on the team recording the most losses during the regular season. In the event of two or more teams recording the same number of losses, the winner will be determined as the team with the worst for and against differential percentage. Regular Season must be completed for bets to stand.
