How to Navigate our Sports Rules Articles

Click on the Sports Rules to expand them and view the detailed information about each rule.

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.

Futures Betting

For all 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 match, bets will be deemed no action.

Match Betting

Regulation Time and Overtime - Unless otherwise stated, all Gaelic Sports bets are settled on regulation time only (including injury-time). Extra time does not count unless specified. Where a market specifically includes overtime, and the match finishes in a tie after overtime, then bets will be deemed no action.

Bet Settlement - Bets will be settled on official GAA (Gaelic Athletics Association) result only. If either team does not play, then bets will be deemed no action.

Changed Match Venue - If a match venue is changed, 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.

Abandoned, Interrupted, and Postponed Matches - Postponed matches are deemed no action unless they are re-arranged and played within 5 days of the original scheduled match time.

Bets on abandoned matches are deemed no action apart from markets where the outcome is already determined.

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 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 had already been determined prior to the initial interruption in the match.

Match Markets (including Alternatives)

Total match score is used to settle bets (goal = 3, point = 1).

10 Minute Betting Live In Game

The designated 10 minute period must be completed for bets to stand, unless the outcome of the specific market is already determined.

Goal Scoring Markets

First (including Team) Goalscorer/Last Goalscorer/To Score a Goal Anytime/Next Goalscorer - Own goals do not count. In the case of an own goal being scored first, bets will be settled on 2nd goalscorer. In the case of the last goal being an own goal, bets will be settled on the previous goal. Every effort will be made to quote First/Last player to score a Goal odds for all possible participants. However, players not originally quoted will count as winners should they score the First/Last Goal.

First Goalscorer/Team Goalscorer - Any player coming on as a substitute after the first goal is scored, or who takes no part in the match, is deemed a non-starter.

Last Goalscorer - Any player that takes no part in the match is deemed a non-starter.

Score a Goal Anytime - Any player that takes no part in the match is deemed a non-starter.

Next Goalscorer - Any player that takes no part in the match is deemed a non-starter. If your player takes the field after a specified Goal (e.g., 1st) has been scored, then bets on that specified Goal number will be made deemed no action. If your player has taken the field at any time prior to the specified Goal being scored, then your bet stands. If you place a bet on a player after they have left the field of play and the selected player takes no further part in the match, then bets on that player will be deemed no action for this market.

Scorecast - First Player to Score/Winning Margin Doubles

If there are no goals scored in the match, then all bets will be settled as lost. If a player takes the field after a goal has been scored, or does not take part in the game, then such bets will be settled as straight bets on the Winning Margin market at the relevant odds quoted at match kickoff time. If a match is abandoned after a goal has been scored, then all bets will be settled as straight bets on the First Goalscorer market at the relevant odds quoted at match kickoff time. Should the first goal of the match be an own goal, then bets will be settled on the Next Goalscorer and the Winning Margin markets.
