“Push” means a Result where a Player neither wins nor loses a Wager. In a ‘Moneyline’ Market, a Push occurs when the Result is a tie and no tie option was offered. In a two-way Point Spread Market, it is when the favourite (identified with a “-”) wins by exactly the Spread, or the underdog (identified with a “+”) loses by exactly the spread (e.g., if the Spread is -3.0 and the favourite wins by exactly three (3) points).

“Unconditionally Determined” refers to the situation whereby a Result has already been determined, or the natural conclusion of the Market would dictate the Result.

Such representation and warranty shall survive the payment of the Payout, and the Corporation may in its sole discretion set off any portion of the Payout in furtherance of such indemnity.

6.0 Game Details
6.1 Cash Out
6.1.1 Cash Out may be available on select Events and Markets both pre-match and Live Betting, on Single and Parlay Wagers. The Corporation cannot guarantee the Cash Out feature will be available for all Bets. Where Cash Out is available pre-event and the Corporation does not cover or the Corporation stops covering the Event in Live Betting, then Cash Out will be unavailable once the Event starts or when the Corporation’s Live Betting coverage stops. Cash Out will not be available when a Market is suspended.
6.1.2 The Corporation reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (a) remove all or part of the Cash Out feature for any Player or group of Players; and (b) amend, suspend or remove the Cash Out feature (or any part of it) at any time for any Event, Market, Player or group of Players. The Corporation will not be responsible if the Cash Out feature is not available for any reason and Wagers will Stand as originally placed during any such period. Any Bets placed on such Events or Markets will Stand as originally placed.
6.1.3 The Corporation reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reverse the Settlement of a Cash Out if the Bet or a Market is Settled in error.
6.2 Rounding
6.2.1 All Payouts are rounded to the nearest cent.
6.3 Live Betting
6.3.1 Unless otherwise stated, the rules within these Game Conditions also apply to Live Betting.
6.3.2 The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, provide scores and other statistics regarding an Event during play. This information is intended as a Player resource only and may be subject to delays. The Corporation is not responsible for the accuracy of this information. The data is delivered via third party sources and as such there may be discrepancies between Event information displayed and the Settlement. The settlement rules in these Game Conditions will remain final.
6.3.3 Wagers placed during an Event will be subject to a time delay before being accepted. The Corporation reserves the right to set this time delay at any value it deems reasonable, and this can be changed by the Corporation anytime whatsoever without notice. During the processing of a Wager: (a) if a Selection(s) is suspended completely then the Wager will be rejected; and (b) if the odds on a Selection(s) change during the Bet processing, then the Bet will be rejected, and the odds will be updated and must be reconfirmed by the Player.
6.4 Wager Limits
6.4.1 The Corporation reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time and without notice, to increase or decrease the limit on Wagers that will be accepted on any given Selection or combination of Selections.
6.5 Withholding Payments
6.5.1 The Corporation reserves the right to withhold payment and to declare Bets on an Event Void if the Corporation, in its sole discretion, believes the integrity of the Event may be called into question.
7.0 General Settlement Rules
7.1 The Result
7.1.1 Subject to the Player Agreement, the Result of each Event shall be determined solely by the Corporation. The Corporation does not recognize protests, overturned decisions or amended Results. Once the Corporation has entered the Result into the Corporation’s central computer system it shall be final and binding, without right of appeal.
7.2 Dead-Heats
7.2.1 If a Dead-Heat between two or more Outcomes is declared on any Market as the official Result, unless stated otherwise, the Wager is subject to a Dead-Heat Reduction. For example, a $30 Wager on a golfer to finish in the Top 5 of the leaderboard at odds of 4.00 would be Settled as follows in the various scenarios:
- Golfer ties for 5th position with one (1) other player. In this case, one (1) place on the leaderboard is shared between two (2) winning Outcomes, so the value of the Wager is reduced to half (1/2) of the original value. Wager after Dead-Heat Reduction becomes $15 at 4.00.
- Golfer ties for 5th position with two (2) other players. In this case, one (1) place on the leaderboard is shared between three (3) winning Outcomes, so the value of the Wager is reduced to one-third (1/3) of the original value. Wager after Dead-Heat Reduction becomes $10 at 4.00.
- Golfer ties with two (2) other players for 4th place. In this case, two (2) places on the leaderboard (i.e. fourth and fifth) are shared between three winning Outcomes, so the value of the Wager is reduced to two-thirds (2/3) of the original value. Wager after Dead-Heat Reduction becomes $20 at 4.00.
7.3 Related Outcomes
7.3.1 Save and except for Same Game Parlays, Parlays are not accepted on Related Outcomes. However, Combined Odds may be available, which will apply to selected Parlays. For example, soccer team to win a game and over 2.5 goals to be scored in the same game.
7.3.2 The Corporation reserves the right to Void any Parlay Wager on Related Outcomes accepted in error.
7.4 Venue Changes
7.4.1 If the venue changes and the designated home and away teams for an Event change, all Wagers placed based on the original Event will be Void, unless stated otherwise by the Corporation.
7.4.2 If the venue changes and the designated home and away teams for an Event do not change, all Wagers placed based on the original Event will Stand, unless stated otherwise by the Corporation.
7.5 Postponed/Abandoned/Forfeited Events
7.5.1 If an Event is postponed ahead of the Scheduled start time and not started within 36 hours of that time, then all Wagers on Markets related to that match will be Void, unless stated otherwise in sport specific rules as noted below.
7.5.2 If an Event is abandoned after starting, and not resumed within 36 hours of the Scheduled start time, all Wagers on Markets related to that Event will, unless stated otherwise under sport specific rules as noted below, be Voided unless an official Result is declared.
7.5.3 Wagers on all Markets which have been Unconditionally Determined will Stand. For example, if 1st Touchdown-Scorer Wagers have already been Settled at the time of the abandonment, the Wager will Stand.
7.5.4 If the score at the time of an abandonment or forfeit means a natural conclusion to the Market predetermines the Result, then the Market will be Settled as per this predetermined Result. For example, a tennis match is abandoned with score at 6-4, 3-3 in the second set. Since the minimum number of games for a natural conclusion would be 19, the Over/Under Games Markets with a line up to and including 18.5 would be Settled as ‘Over.’
8.0 Generic Market Type Rules
8.1 Odd/Even Markets
8.1.1 For the purposes of ‘Odd/Even’ Markets, zero counts as an even number.
8.2 Time-based Markets
8.2.1 For Settlement purposes, time-based Markets are quoted on the basis of the clock counting up from 00:00, regardless of the sport and the clock direction of any other source. This means the first minute of the game will be from one (1) second to 59 seconds, the second minute from one (1) minute to one (1) minute 59 seconds and so on. For example, if a Wager is placed on the first goal to be scored between one (1) and five (5) minutes in a hockey match, and the first goal is scored at five (5) minutes 03 seconds; the Wager will be a loser as the goal time falls within the six (6) to 10 minutes category.
8.3 Half-Time / Full-Time
8.3.1 Settlement for ‘Half-Time / Full-Time’ Markets are provided upon predicting the Result at Half-Time, and at Full-Time. Full-Time refers to the end of Regulation Time, the Result after Overtime is not considered. Any other specific description of this Market will be explained in specific sport rules, as noted below.
8.4 Double Chance
8.4.1 ‘Double Chance’ Wagering allows a Player to cover two (2) of three (3) possible Outcomes in an Event with one Selection. For example, a ‘Team 1 - Draw’ Wager wins if the specified team wins or the Event ends in a draw, a ‘Team 1 - Team 2’ Wager wins if either of the specified teams win the Event, a ‘Team 2 - Draw’ Wager wins if the specified team wins or the Event ends in a draw.
8.5 Draw No Bet
8.5.1 A ‘Draw No Bet’ is a Market where a draw is not a Wagering option, and the Player tries to predict which team will win the Event in Regulation Time. If the Event ends in a draw or tie, all Wagers will be Void.
8.6 Team No Bet
8.6.1 A ‘Team No Bet’ is a Market where the Player has the option to select only one (1) of the teams in the match to win or for the match to end in a draw/tie. Should the team in the Market name (the team not available for Wagering) win, all Wagers will be Void. For example, in a Liverpool versus Chelsea match, with a Market named ‘Liverpool No Bet’ the Outcomes to choose from will be Chelsea and Draw. Should Liverpool win the match, all Wagers will be Void.
8.7 Team to Win Both Halves
8.7.1 A ‘Team to Win Both Halves’ is a Market where the Player Wagers on the same team to win both the first half and the second half independently. For example, if the score in the Dallas at Buffalo game was 10-0 at Half-Time and the final score at the end of the game was 10-7, a Wager on Dallas to ‘Win Both Halves’ would not be a winner because Buffalo won the second half 7-0.
8.8 Race To
8.8.1 In ‘Race To’ Wagering, the Player predicts which Outcome will reach the designated value first. For example, in a ‘Race To 20’ Market in basketball, the first team to reach 20 points will be the winner.
8.9 Winning Margin
8.9.1 In a ‘Winning Margin’ Market, the Player predicts the exact range of the margin of victory by which their Selection will win. For example, if the Selection is ‘Los Angeles to win 6 – 10’, then Los Angeles must win the game by 6 - 10 points only. If they win by five (5) points or less, or 11 points or more, or lose or tie the game, the Selection will lose.
8.10 Asian Handicaps and Asian Total
8.10.1 For ‘Asian Handicaps’ and ‘Asian Total’ Markets, depending on the Selection of the Wager and Result there is the possibility for a full win, full loss, Push, half win (half Push) and half lose (half Push). Examples of the types of Lines offered and Settlement are outlined in the table below.

8.11.2 Wagers include playoffs and any official tie-breaks where applicable, unless otherwise specified.
