Special Major League
Baseball Rules
Major League Baseball games are official after 5
innings of play, or 4.5 innings if the home team is leading. If a game is subsequently
called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full
inning unless the home team ties the score or takes the lead in the bottom half
of the inning. Then the winner will be determined by the score at the time the
game is called. When wagering on total runs or run lines, the game must go the
regulation 9 innings, or 8.5 innings if the home team is leading, otherwise
it will constitute a "No Action" wager, and all money will be credited accordingly.
Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both
listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
Baseball wagers are accepted as "Listed." In the
event of a pitching change prior to the game, all wagers on a team are considered
"No Action". All wagers will be refunded to the customers account.
Any and all baseball series wagers must have all
3 games played by the end of a specified date for the wager to have action.
If all 3 games are not played by that specified date then all wagers are NO
ACTION, regardless if one team has 2 wins. All 3 games must be official by Las
Vegas Gaming Standards (see our rules regarding baseball wagers and what constitutes
an official result)
NOTE: Each team's starting pitcher is defined for
betting purposes as the pitcher that throws the first pitch.
Boxing
In boxing, the official stopping of a round before
the sounding of the bell does not constitute a full round. A full round is only
considered for wagering purposes when the bell sounds signifying the end of
said round.
Golf
For tournament matchup betting all of the players
listed in the matchup bet offer must tee off for your bet to have action. The
player with the most completed holes wins. If the players complete the same
number of holes, then the player with the lowest score wins. If the players
are still tied then the wager will be No Actioned and all monies will be refunded.
If both golfers in a match-up are in a playoff: a) winner of play-off wins matchup
and b) all other playoff participants tie each other.
Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected, due to
weather conditions the official result will be used when settling, regardless
of the number or rounds played. However, should there be no further play after
a bet is struck that bet will be void.
Single day matchups are wagers on the particular day's 18-holes.
Single Day mathups do not include holes played as part of a completion from
the previous day's round nor playoff holes considered part of the overall tournament
score. Should a day's round be shortened, or otherwise affected, due to weather
conditions and the round is continued the next day, the full 18 holes will are
considered in determining the outcome of the bet even if they are played over
two days. If a full 18 holes are not completed by both members of the matchup,
all bets are void. If both players end the 18 holes in a tie, the bet is considered
a no action wager.
European Football
All football bets will be settled on 90 minutes play,
this includes any time added by the Referee in respect of injuries and other
stoppages. Extra Time, Golden Goals and Penalty Shoot-Outs do not count.
For bets on European football, in order to place
your Sports.com bet correctly, you must predict
the result of at least one (1) game:1=home win, 0=draw, 2=away win. The customer
can, of course, bet a parlay (or "combination"), but must get all the selections
correct in the parlay column.
Bets taken on 'first goalscorer' will be void if
the player does not take part in the game or comes on after a goal has already
been scored. Bets taken on 'last goalscorer' will be void if the player does
not play or come on as a substitute.
If any match is abandoned, or postponed, all bets
will be void unless the relevant market result has already happened; for example,
'first goal scorer betting, which will stand if a goal has already been scored.
Where a venue is changed, bets will stand unless
the game is to be played at the original away team's ground in which case all
bets will be void.
Cricket
For Cricket games, if the match is shortened by the
weather, bets will be governed by the official competition rules.
Rugby
For Rugby Games, if any match is abandoned or postponed
all bets will be void, except bets on the first try scorer if a try has been
scored prior to abandonment.
Where a venue is changed, bets will stand unless
the game is to be played at the original away team's ground in which case all
bets will be void.
Tennis
For Tennis Match betting, in the event of a match
starting but not being completed, the player progressing to the next round will
be deemed the winner. In the event of any of the following circumstances taking
place all bets will stand: (i) a change of playing surface, (ii) a change of
venue or (iii) a change from indoor court to outdoor court or vice versa.
Motorsports
In the event that the driver or team that a customer
bets upon for the outright championship does not start the race, the bet is
considered action (no refunds on the bet). Both drivers must start the race
for matchup wagering for the bet to have action. The start of any motor race
is defined as the signal to start the warm-up lap. The official winner at the
conclusion of the race will be the winner for betting purposes.
Parlay or Multiple Betting
Parlay or Multiples Betting. No multiple (parlay)
bets can be accepted where individual legs are 'connected'. For example, one
leg of a parlay is for Sampras to beat Agassi in the 4th round of Wimbledon
and the second or additional part of the parlay is for Sampras to win the overall
Wimbledon title. The match forms part of the overall tournament and is therefore
'connected'. In the same way, you cannot parlay the over of the first half of
a football game with the over of the total game, because the two are 'connected'.
Dead Heat Rule
In the event of a dead heat (a tie), stakes will
be divided by the number of selections dead heating with the divided stake settled
at full odds, remaining stakes are lost. If the tie was a betting option, then
the dead heat rule does not apply. The Dead Heat Rule only applies to Future
Wagers. For example, if there is a 3 way tie for the Top Scorer in a Football
game. Then your winnings are calculated by taking your stake, dividing it by
3, and multiplying that amount by the odds on your betting ticket.

played over the Internet which reaches virtually every country in the world.
Some of these jurisdictions have not addressed the legality of Internet gaming,
while some have specifically made Internet gaming illegal. In practical terms,

ongoing basis. Therefore, by clicking the "I agree" button, you are acknowledging
