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
In the event of any of the following circumstances, all bets will stand:
A change of schedule and/or day of match
A change of venue
A change from indoor court to outdoor court or vice versa
A change of surface (either before or during a match)
Same Game Parlay
Specific to any bet selection that is part of a Same Game Parlay, if the selected event does not take place due to the match, set, or game already being determined or completed, then the selection will be deemed as lost for settlement purposes.
For example, a Tennis Same Game Parlay bet that includes Player A to win the 3rd Set 6-3 would be settled as lost if Player A wins the match 6-2, 6-3; as Player A has not won the 3rd set 6-3.
In the event of a match starting but not being completed, bet selections will be deemed no action, unless the specific market outcome is already determined.
Match/Game Markets
Match Betting Including Live In Game
In the event of a match starting but not being completed, then all bets will be deemed no action unless after the start of the match a player is disqualified. In which case, the player/team progressing to the next round or being awarded the victory will be deemed the winner for settlement purposes.
Match Result and Both Players To Win a Set/Match Result and Total Games Including Live In Game
In the event of a match starting but not being completed, then all bets will be deemed no action.
Live In Game Markets (Current, Next, and Next Two)

The player serving in the relevant game is denoted by (Svr).
If the wrong player is indicated as (Svr), then any bets taken on Current or Next Game, Current or Next Game Score, Point Betting or Next Game First Point, Next Game To Win To, or Next Game To Face Break Point will be deemed no action, regardless of the result.
Tiebreak and Deuce
In the event of the next scheduled game(s) being a tiebreak or Match tiebreak all bets on that game(s) will be deemed no action, with the exception of Next Game First Point.
Game to Deuce will be settled as “Yes” if either player/team wins the game to 40 or the score reaches 40-40 at any stage.
Penalty Points
If any game includes the awarding of a penalty point(s) by the umpire, all bets on that game will stand. If the umpire awards a penalty game, or in the event of a game not being completed through player injury, all bets on that game will be deemed no action, with the exception of Game to Deuce, Next Game to Face Break Point, Next Game – First “X” Points Correct Score, and Next Game Total Points if settlement has already been determined, and Next Game – Spread where there is no conceivable way the game could be played to its natural conclusion without unconditionally determining the result of that market. In the event of forfeited points/games, these will count for final settlement.
Markets Based on Total Games/Spread Games Including Live In Game
These general rules apply to Games in Individual Sets, Games in Match, Player Games, and Spread Betting (based on games won). In the event of forfeited points/games, these will count for final settlement.

Retirement, Disqualification, or Change of Surface
In the event of retirement, disqualification, or change of surface mid-match, bets will be deemed no action unless there is no conceivable way the set and/or match could be played to its natural conclusion without unconditionally determining the result of that market.
E.g., (1) A set is abandoned at 4-4: bets on Over/Under 9.5 games or fewer in the set are settled as winners/losers respectively, since any natural conclusion to the set would have at least 10 games; bets on Over/Under 10.5 games or more are deemed no action.
E.g., (2) A best-of-3 sets match is abandoned at 6-4 2-6: bets on Over/Under 23.5 games or fewer in match will be settled as winners/losers respectively, since any natural conclusion to the match would have at least 24 games; bets on Over/Under 24.5 games or more are deemed no action.
E.g., (3) A best-of-3 sets match is abandoned at 6-4 4-6 5-5: bets on either player with a spread of +2.5 or more will be settled as winners, bets on either player with a spread of -2.5 or less will be settled as losers, and bets on the tie with a spread of +/- 3 or more will be settled as losers. All bets on spreads ranging from -2 to +2 will be deemed no action.
Spread, Total Games In Match, and Player Games
The Spread, Total Games In Match, and Player Games markets are based on a statutory number of sets (see related Set Betting). In the event of the statutory number of sets being changed or differing from those offered for betting purposes, then all bets are deemed no action.
