General Cricket Rules

1) In cases where no odds have been offered for a tie and the match/offer ends in a tie, bets would be settled according to the so-called “dead-heat” rule where the payout would be calculated after the odds are divided and multiplied by the stake, irrespective whether the net payout is lower than the Patron's stake. In competitions where other means are used to determine a winner after a tie (for example: ‘Bowl out’ or ‘Super over’) then offers will be settled based on the result after such prolongations are completed. The only exception to this rule is for “Match Odds” betting in Test/First Class/3, 4 or 5 day matches where, in the event of a tie, where both teams have completed two innings each and have scored exactly the same number of runs, bets on “Match Odds” will be settled as void.

2) For “Total Runs Over X” (Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, “extras” and “penalty runs” (as per match scorecards) are included for settlement purposes. Bets will be void if the over is not completed unless a result has already been determined or the over has reached its ‘natural conclusion’ (e.g. innings end/declaration). The market refers only to the listed over (e.g. “5^th over” refers to over number 5, i.e. the over directly following over number 4).

3) For “Total Runs Delivery X” (Over/Under & Odd/Even) betting, “extras” (but not “penalty runs”) as per match scorecard are included for settlement purposes. Deliveries are counted from the start of the over, and additional deliveries (resulting from ‘extras’) will be counted consecutively and separately (e.g. If delivery 1 is a wide, the next ball is considered delivery 2).

4) For “Boundary Over X” (Yes/No) betting, any instance of the ball striking or clearing the boundary regardless of whether the ball comes off the bat shall be deemed a boundary. This includes wides, byes, leg byes & overthrows (e.g. any instance of an in play ball that hits or clears the boundary shall be settled as yes for that over). 4 runs that are “all run” between the wicket shall not be counted as a boundary. Bets will be void if the over is not completed unless a result has already been determined or the over has reached its ‘natural conclusion’ (e.g. innings end, declaration). The market refers only to the listed over (e.g. “5^th Over” refers to over number 5, i.e. the over directly following over number 4).

5) For “Wicket Over X” (Yes/No) betting, the over must be completed for bets to stand, unless a wicket has already fallen or the innings reaches its natural conclusion (e.g. innings end, declaration).

6) For “Total Wides” (Over/Under) betting, settlement will be based on the “Runs” scored from “Wides” and not the number of “Wides” bowled. E.g. If a single wide delivery reaches the boundary it shall count as 5 total wides.

7) For “Method of Dismissal” betting, bets will be void if either player retires due to injury or any other reason, before the wicket falls or there are no further wickets.

8) For “Most Run Outs” betting, settlement will be based on the batting team not the fielding team. (E.g. run outs count for the team of the player that is dismissed).

9) For “Odd/Even” betting, a ball must be bowled for bets to stand.

10) For any betting involving “ducks”, a “duck” is defined as when a player is dismissed for a score of zero runs. Any player not-out for zero runs is not considered a duck.

11) For “Maiden in Match” betting, a maiden is considered any over bowled with no runs scored. Only completed overs with zero runs count. A minimum of 1over must be bowled for bets to stand. For settlement purposes leg-byes and byes are not applied to this bet offer, as per the match scorecard.

12) For all “4s” betting including but not limited to total 4s, most 4s & player’s total 4s; any ‘all run’ 4s will not count towards the total. Over-throws that reach the boundary and are awarded to the batsman will be counted. No-balls that reach the boundary off the bat and are awarded to the batsman will be counted. Leg-byes & byes that reach the boundary are not included. Wides that reach the boundary are not included.

13) Penalty runs awarded will be counted towards the over, interval and innings for settlement purposes, as per match scorecard. If penalty runs are not awarded to a specific over, they will only count towards innings runs. 

Player Cricket Rules

1) "Top Run Scorer" and "Top Wicket Taker" bets (including all variants by “Home Team”, Away Team”, “1st Innings” & “2nd Innings”) placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat or field will be settled as losers.

In the event of a tie, dead heat rules as explained in <Section C, Para 10(a).1> will apply.

• a) Additionally, for all limited overs matches the following will apply. Betting requires a minimum of 20 overs to be bowled per innings of a One Day match, unless a team is all-out or the match is completed, or a minimum of 5 overs to be bowled per innings of a Twenty 20 match, T10 or Hundred match unless a team is all-out or the match is completed
• b)  Additionally, for all Test matches & 4/5 day matches the following will apply. Betting requires 50 overs to be completed for bets to stand, unless the Innings has reached its natural conclusion (including ‘Innings declared’).
• c) All “Top Wicket Taker” bets will be settled solely on the number of wickets taken regardless of the number of runs conceded.
• d) All “Top Wicket Taker” bets will be void if no wicket is taken by any bowler in that innings.
• e) This rule excludes any Tournament or Series market as covered in <Section C, Para 10€.5>“

2) "Man of the Match/Player of the Match” bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat or bowl will be settled as losers. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules will apply as explained in <Section C, Para 10(a).1>.

3) “Next Man Out” & “First Batsman Dismissed” bets will be settled as void if either player retires due to injury or any other reason before the wicket falls or if there are no further wickets. Both named batsmen must be batting at the fall of the nominated wicket for bets to stand.

4) “Most Runs” (2-way & 3-way) matchups, require that both/all players reach the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary they face a ball nor must the quoted players have batted together, otherwise bets will be void. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules will apply as explained in <Section C, Para 10(a).1>.

5) “Most Wickets” (2-way & 3-way) matchups, require that both/all players bowl at least 1 ball for bets to stand. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules will apply as explained in <Section C, Para 10(a).1>.

6) “Player Performance” bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Settlement is based on the following points based scoring system:

• 1 point per run scored (batsman only);
• 10 points per catch taken (fielder or wicket keeper only);
• 20 points per wicket (bowler only);
• 25 points per stumping (wicket keeper only).

Additionally, for all limited overs matches, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs match. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

7) For “Player to take 5 or more Wickets/Player’s Total Wickets/Player to take a wicket” bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 will be declared void. Bets will also be void if the player does not bowl a ball.

8) “Player to take make a Duck” (Yes/No) bets require that the player reaches the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary they face a ball.

9) For “Player to score Fastest 50/Century” betting, settlement is based on the least number of balls faced to reach the milestone (either 50 runs or 100 runs). In the event of a tie, dead heat rules will apply as explained in <Section C, Para 10(a).1>.

10) For “Race to X Runs” bets, both players must open the batting for bets to stand.

11) “Player’s Total Runs/Player’s Total 4s/Player’s Total 6s” (Over/Under) betting requires that the player reach the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary they face a ball. In cases where a batsman's innings is ended by weather or bad light, all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void. A result is deemed to have been determined if a batsman has passed the run total at which the bet was accepted, has been dismissed or an innings completed/declaration made. For example, if a Batsman's score stands at 50 ‘Not-Out’ when a game or innings is terminated due to bad light or rain, all bets on 50.5 runs will be voided unless the game has reached its natural conclusion. However, all bets on Over 49.5 Runs will be considered as winning while bets on Under 49.5 Runs will be settled as losing. Should a batsman retire due to injury or any other reason, his score at the end of his team's innings will be considered as the result for that bet. Additionally, for all limited overs matches, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs match. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

12) “Player to Score 50/Half Century” (Yes/No) betting requires that the player reach the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though it is not necessary that they face a ball. A player is deemed to have scored 50 or a ‘Half century’ once their score is 50 or more runs regardless of whether the player scores a century or more. In cases where a batsman's innings is ended by weather or bad light, all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void, unless the game has reached a natural conclusion. Should a batsman retire due to injury or any other reason, his score at the end of his team's innings will be considered as the result for that bet. Additionally, for all limited overs matches, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (player to score 50) bets will be declared void granted that the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play could possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

13) “Player to Score 100/Century/200/Double Century” (Yes/No) betting requires that the player reach the batting crease while a ball is bowled, though not necessarily facing a ball. A player is deemed to have scored 100 or a ‘Century’ once their score is 100 or more runs regardless of whether the player scores a double century or more. Similarly, a player is deemed to have scored 200 or a “Double Century” once their score is 200 or more runs. In cases where a batsman's innings is ended by weather or bad light, all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void. Should a batsman retire due to injury or any other reason, his score at the end of his team's innings will be considered as the result for that bet. Additionally, for all limited overs matches, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (player to score 100/200) bets will be declared void granted that the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

Limited Overs Cricket

1) Should a match be transferred to a ‘reserve’ day, all bets will remain valid as long as the game commences within 48hrs of the original, scheduled start time.

2) Match odds (head to head) betting pays on the official result. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply unless a subsequent tiebreaker method is used to determine the winner (e.g. super over, bowl-off), in which case the outcome will be settled on the result of this method. Should the match be declared a 'no-result' all bets are void.

3) If any ‘Super Over’ or tie-breaker is required; any runs, wickets or any other stat that may occur in the super over/tie breaker do not count towards any betting market (except match result) including player bet offers & team totals (e.g. Top batsman/bowler, player runs, total 6’s, to take at least X wickets). This rule does not apply to specific bet offers relating to ‘Super Overs’ (e.g. Super Over Total Runs).

4) For “Match Handicap / Winning Margin” betting, settlement will depend on whether the winning team bats 1st or 2nd. If the team batting 1st wins, then the runs handicap will be used for settlement. If the team batting 2nd wins then the wickets handicap will be used for settlement. All bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs match.

5) For “Highest 1st 6/15 Overs” all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply.

6) “Highest Total 1st X Overs” bets will be void should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs in the match being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play could possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

7) “Highest Opening Partnership” requires that both sides complete their opening partnerships with the exception of those situations where an outcome has already been determined. An opening partnership is considered to have begun once the first ball is bowled in a team innings, and lasts until the fall of 1st wicket or, should no 1st wicket fall, the innings reaching its natural conclusion. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply.

Additionally, all (highest opening partnership) bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

8) In “Fall of Next Wicket” & “Opening Partnership” (Over/Under) betting, should either batsman retire due to injury or any other reason before a result has been determined all bets placed before the retirement will be declared void; bets taken after the first ball of the new partnership will stand. A result is deemed to have been determined if the partnership total has passed the run total at which the bet was accepted. If a team reaches their target, the total achieved by the batting team will be the result of the market. If a partnership is disrupted due to weather all bets will stand, unless there is no further play in the match. In such case all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void.

In relation to the over number at the fall of next wicket, any quoted half refers to the whole over number not the specific balls bowled in each over (e.g. over/under 5.5 refers to either ‘any delivery in over 5 & earlier’ or ‘any delivery in over 6 & later’).

Additionally, all (F.O.W) bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

9) For “Total Runs – Innings X” (Over/Under) (e.g. Total Team Runs) betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt: Any bets taken after the number of overs has been reduced will stand unless there is a further reduction.

10) For “Total Runs – Innings X, Overs X-X” (Over/Under) (e.g. Total Runs – Home Team, Overs 1-15) betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs in the match at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers have already been decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt: Any bets taken after the number of overs has been reduced will stand unless there is a further reduction.

11) For “Total 4s/6s/Boundaries/Wickets” (Over/Under) betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs in the match at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers have already been decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. .

Leg-bye and byes that reach/pass the boundary do not count towards total 4s/6s. Overthrows awarded to the batsman do count. Wides that reach the boundary are not counted. No-balls that reach the boundary off the bat and are awarded to the batsman will be counted.

12) For “Most Fours/Sixes/Wides/Run-outs/Boundaries/Ducks/Extras” betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (Most 'X’) bets will be declared void granted that the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void (most ‘x’) bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. Leg-bye and byes that reach/pass the boundary do not count towards total 4s/6s.

In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply.

13) For “Total Wides/Run-outs/Ducks/Extras/Stumpings” (Over/Under) betting, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs in the match at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced). Should the outcome of such offers have already been decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. For wides and extras, settlement will include the runs scored from wides and not just the number of wides bowled.

14) For “Highest Individual Score”, all bets will be declared as void should the number of overs in the match be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the standard scheduled number of overs in a Twenty 20 match or any other limited overs match. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption then these will be settled accordingly.

15) For “Team of Top Run Scorer” betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (team of top run scorer) bets will be declared void granted that the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly. In the event of a tie, if no draw price was offered, dead heat rules as explained in Clause 1 of the General Cricket Rules will apply.

16) For “Fifty/Century in Match” (Yes/No) betting, should the intervention of rain (or any other delay) result in the number of overs being reduced from those initially scheduled at the time the bet was accepted, then all open (fifty/century in match) bets will be declared void granted that the reduction is 10% or more of those scheduled. If the reduction is less than 10% of the scheduled overs at the time the bet was accepted, then bets will stand. If a team innings is 10 overs or less, then any reduction in overs will void (Fifty/Century in Match) bets. Should the outcome of such offers be already decided before the interruption and no further play would possibly change the outcome of such bets, then these will be settled accordingly.

17) For “Highest Total Runs in an Over/Maximum Runs in an Over” (Over/Under) bets will be settled on the greatest number of runs (including extras) scored in any one over of either innings in the match.

All bets will be declared as void should the number of overs be reduced due to weather (or any other reason) from the scheduled number of overs at the time the bet was accepted (whether standard or already reduced).

2) For “Match Odds” betting in Test/First Class/3, 4 or 5 day matches, in the event of a tie where both teams have completed two innings each and have scored exactly the same number of runs, bets on “Match Odds” will be void, with stakes being refunded. In Test and First Class Cricket matches, the match winner will be settled as determined by the competition’s official governing body.

7) In “Fall of Next Wicket” & “Opening Partnership” (Over/Under) betting, should either batsman retire due to injury or any other reason before a result has been determined all bets will be declared void. A result is deemed to have been determined if the Innings total has passed the run total at which the bet was accepted. If a team declares or reaches their target, the total achieved by the batting team will be the result of the market. If a partnership is disrupted due to weather all bets will stand, unless there is no further play in the match. In such case all bets where a result has not been determined will be declared void. Extras and penalty runs awarded before the fall of wicket or during the partnership, according to the match scorecard, will be counted.
