Unless otherwise stated, all markets on football matches will be for 90 minutes scheduled play, including any added injury or stoppage time, but not extra time, golden goal or penalty shoot-outs. In the event of a match being abandoned after it starts but before the final whistle, only bets that can be settled at the time of abandonment will stand. All other bets will be deemed void. Note: Some matches play 70 or 80 minutes (e.g U-16, U-17 etc) but will still appear as 90 minutes on our website. These matches will be settled according to the full-time result as long as a minimum of 70 minutes is played and the match is not scheduled for anything other than two halves.

Where outright prices are offered for a match, it will signify the price for a team to progress to the next round of the competition or to lift the trophy and will include any extra time and penalty shoot outs. Where both match prices and outright prices are offered on a match, it will be assumed that bets will be for match prices, unless to win outright or a qualifying price are specifically asked for.

In the event of a dispute over who scored a goal, settlement will be based on the result given by the Press Association immediately following the end of the match. Subsequent enquiries will not be considered for settlement purposes. If the P.A. do not produce statistics for a match played outside the UK, the result will be taken from the consensus of the national newspapers of the relevant country as printed the following day.

A price will be offered for "No Goalscorer" in the match. Own goals do not count and in the event of the first goal being an own goal, the next goalscorer will be deemed the first goalscorer. Players taking no part in the match will be void. For first goalscorer, players who have taken no part in the match before the first goal is scored will be void. Every effort is made to quote all players for a team, however, if the first/last goal is scored by a player not quoted in the original list, that player will still count as the winner. For last goalscorer bets, any player taking part in the match will be deemed a runner whether on the pitch at the time of the last goal or not.

This bet involves predicting whether a particular player or specified team will score a goal at anytime during a match. Bets will stand until the final whistle and not include any Extra Time played. If for any reason a match is abandoned before the final whistle, stakes will be refunded irrespective of whether the nominated player has scored or not. Own goals do not count. Multiple bets involving anytime scorers in the same match are accepted. For anytime scorer bets, any player taking part in the match will be deemed a runner.

An assist is awarded to an attacking player who, with any action, delivers the ball to the goalscorer who then scores without further loss of the ball to the opposition. The assist action can have no bigger than a small deflection which doesn't change the direction of the trajectory of the ball and finds it's intended target. There are no assists awarded for Penalty Goals, Direct Free Kick Goals or Own Goals. In the event of uncertainty about whether a player completed an assist, the official league source is used except where the specific rules state the contrary.

Predict who will score the first goal and what the score will be in a double. Given that the two components of this double are related, the scorecast is offered at specified, discounted odds. In the event of the nominated scorer not having entered the field of play prior to the first goal being scored, the stake is automatically placed as a single on the correct score. Own goals do not count and in the event of the first/last goal being an own goal then the scorecast will be settled on the correct score coupled with the next goalscorer.

Predict whether the total shirt numbers of goalscorers in the match are under, between or over a stipulated middle band. Own goals count. In the event of a disputed goalscorer, settlement will be based upon the declared result of the Press Association immediately following the end of the match.

Where no teams are stated for correct score bets, then the left hand score will be deemed to be for the home team and the right hand score for the away team. For scorecast bets, this convention will stand even if the first goal scorer is for the away team.

We will list as many correct score possibilities as we deem necessary. If the final correct score was not quoted in the original list, then the correct score will still count as the winner.

Predict whether a particular player will score a goal at any time during a match and the specified team to win the match. Bets will stand until the final whistle and do not include any extra time played. If for any reason a match is abandoned before the final whistle, stakes will be refunded. Own goals do not count. Any player taking part in the match will be deemed a runner. If a player enters the field after a goal has been scored, takes no part in the game, or the only goals are own goals, then such bets will be settled as a single on the full time result market at the relevant odds quoted at match kick-off time.

Predict whether the match will produce under, exactly or over the stipulated number of corners. Only corners taken will count, corners that have been awarded but not taken will not count.

Predict which team will take the 1st corner of the match. If no corners are taken in the match, all bets will be deemed void.

Predict whether the total booking points in the match are under, between or over a stipulated middle band. Points are allocated as follows: 10 points are awarded for a yellow card and 25 points are awarded for a red card. The maximum make-up for any player is 35 points in the match (2 yellows and therefore a red). The bookings of players not taking part in the game and bookings of management staff and any bookings after the full time whistle has been blown do not count for the purposes of do not count for the purposes of this bet.

Predict the total number of bookings in a match. Bookings will be awarded as follows: Yellow Card = 1 Booking, Red Card = 2 Bookings, Yellow Card + Yellow Card leading to a Red Card = 3 Bookings. The bookings of players not taking part in the game, bookings of management staff and any bookings after the full time whistle has been blown do not count for the purposes of this bet.

Prices may be offered on the team to receive the next card, (either yellow or red). In the event that players from both teams are booked for the same incident, the team whose player is first shown the card by the referee will be deemed the winner.

Card markets are settled by reference to cards shown from kick off until the end of scheduled 90 minutes play including injury time but excluding extra time. Cards will only count which are shown to players after they take the pitch for the first time and before they leave the pitch for the final time. Cards shown to non-players (e.g. managers or subs) do not count. Any card shown after the full-time whistle has been blown shall be disregarded. If after the final whistle a card shown during a game is rescinded, or reduced to a yellow card from a red card, that will not affect the settlement of any markets involving bookings on the game in question.

For player to be carded, all bets on a player stand as long as they take to the pitch. In the event of an abandoned match all bets will be void, unless bets on a player to be carded has already been determined

For 1st player carded, if a player does not play or comes on after the first card, bets will be void. Only cards to players on the pitch count, not subs or managers (unless specified in a special Bet). When two cards are shown in the same incident, the market will settle to the player that is shown the card first.

Predict whether the total goals in the match multiplied by the total corners in the match are under, between or over a stipulated middle band.

A specified number of goals is given as a handicap to one of the teams. This number is added to the number of goals that the team has scored at the end of the match. Predict which team will win the match after the handicap has been added to the final result.

Predict whether a specified group of matches produces under, between or over a stipulated middle band of goals. If any match is postponed or abandoned then 2.5 goals are awarded for that match. If more than one third of the matches in the group are postponed or abandoned then all bets will be deemed void.

Predict which team will win by most goals. Both teams must win their respective matches or all bets are losers. Goal difference counts, e.g. 3-0 beats 3-1; but 2-1 and 3-2 is a tie.

To win this bet the nominated team must score more goals than the opposing team in both halves of the match.

If the match has the prospect of extra time, golden or silver goal and a penalty shoot-out, this bet may be offered. Predict which team will win and whether that team will win in normal time, extra time, golden or silver goals or on penalties.

Bets taken on the number of penalties refer to all the penalties taken. If ten penalties are not required to complete the match bets will stand. If more than ten are taken all penalties count for settling purposes.

A number of markets will be available during "live", televised matches. Prices fluctuate quickly and the prices displayed online are a guide and may well be different at the time of placing a bet. At key moments, e.g. a penalty being awarded or a sending off, prices may be temporarily suspended. Various second half speciality markets are available at half time which relate to the second half of the match only.

Own goals count and the winner will be the team accredited with the goal.

When referring to 45 minutes we mean "half time" and when we refer to 90 minutes we mean "full time". This includes any added injury or stoppage time played but not extra time.

Every effort will be made to quote all potential new managers for the market, but should a manager not quoted be appointed, all bets will stand.

Caretaker and interim managers will not count unless they complete at least 10 competitive games or the club indicate the manager will be appointed to cover at least 10 or more games. They will then be deemed the permanent manager and paid as a winner without clients having to wait for 10 or more games to be completed.

Should a club appoint a director of football this will not count in the settlement of permanent manager markets.

If one or more persons are in charge of selecting/managing the team after 10 or more games are played or appointed permanently then both or all are deemed winners but dead heat rules will apply. In the event that the named club change the structure of their management team and do not call the appointed individual first team manager, we will settle the market on the individual who is responsible for picking the first team. In the event of any ambiguity over the appointment we may determine, using reasonable discretion, how to settle the market based on all the information available to us at the relevant time.

A Football Manager will be deemed to have lost his position if he is relieved from his managerial duties by the club, PRIOR to the last match of the season (not including play-off matches). A Manager who is placed on Gardening Leave will be deemed to have lost his position. A Manager who is given another position at the club other than Permanent Manager will be deemed to have lost his original position.

If a club makes an announcement prior to the end of the season, that the Manager will leave his post at the end of the season but remains in charge until the end of the last match of the season, then he will be deemed NOT to have left his position.

If no Manager has left his position by the end of the last scheduled League Fixture (excluding any play-off matches) then the 'No Manager to Leave' option will be deemed the market winner. If a price for 'No Manager to Leave' has not been quoted, winner will be the manager who leaves next, irrespective of which season that may be in.

If a club makes an announcement prior to the end of the season, that the manager will leave his post at the end of the season but remains in charge until the end of the last match of the season, then he will be deemed NOT to have left his position. A Manager who is placed on Gardening Leave will be deemed to have lost his position. A Manager who is given another position at the club other than Permanent Manager will be deemed to have lost his original position.

Any bets taken after the announcement will be deemed void. Sources include, but are not limited to Sky sports and the Press Association. All manager markets are Singles Only. In the event of a multiple being placed in error all selections will be settled as singles.

For example, Player To Sign For Team in January/Summer Transfer Windows.

The market is whether the stated player will sign for the nominated club during the January or Summer Transfer Window

Any bets taken after the announcement will be deemed void. Sources include, but are not limited to: Sky Sports and the Press Association. All transfer markets are Singles Only. In the event of a multiple being placed in error all selections will be settled as singles.

An Asian handicap is a market where a handicap is applied to the match in order to make the prices more equal. The handicap line varies from Scratch, (0, also called Level Ball) up to any number of goals in order to balance the odds and give each of the two teams relatively similar price. The handicap line increases from scratch in 'quarter goals' or 'quarter balls', expressed as + or - 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2 etc. to reflect the expected superiority of one team over the other.

The favourite in a match will have a negative handicap represented with a (-) symbol and will have to win by more goals than the handicap in order to be a winner. The outsider in the match will receive a positive handicap represented with a (+) symbol which will be added to the final score.

The handicap is applied to the final result of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner. If the number of goals for each team are level after the handicap has been applied, it will result in a push with the stake being returned.

A split ball handicap is where the level of favoritism is between a half ball and a whole ball. The handicap is presented as 0 : 1/4. In this instance your stake is being split equally between the whole ball and half ball handicaps.

For example: Chelsea 0 : ¼ Everton

If you place a £50 bet on Everton + 1/4 you actually have two bets split as follows, £25 Everton +0 goal and £25 Everton + 1/2 goal. If the match finishes as a 0-0 draw, then after applying the handicap the scores would be as follows ; Everton plus zero would result in Chelsea 0-0 Everton. Your £25 part of the bet on Everton minus plus zero would be a push and the stake returned to you. Everton plus a half a goal would result in Chelsea 0-0.5 Everton. Your £25 part of the bet on Everton plus a half goal would be a winner.

The finishing position of teams at the end of the scheduled season will determine placings, this includes points deductions the league may apply before the end of the season. End of season play-offs and penalties incurred by clubs after the end of the season will not count

The prices are for the team to finish or not to finish in the stipulated number of Relegation places at the start of the season. If a team is demoted for any reason other than finishing in one of these positions, bets on that selection will be deemed losers.

The final league positions will determine the winners of all season match bets. If a team does not complete all its scheduled fixtures throughout the season, all match bets and team total points bets will be made void.

Predict whether a team will finish above, exactly in or below a stipulated position in the league. Multiple bets involving teams from the same division are not permitted, and will be voided if accepted in error.

Predict whether a team's total points for the season are under, between or over a stipulated middle band of points. These bets are restricted to singles on teams within the same division.

Many markets that we offer e.g unders/overs and shirt numbers are clearly related. A full list of related bets would be onerous. However, it should be noted that such bets are not permitted and any such bets accepted in error will have the stake split equally between the related selections for settlement purposes.

For settlement purposes, if any match is abandoned or postponed that is included in an enhanced odds offer, all bets will be void.

All player specials are void if player takes no part in the game.

All bets are 90 minutes play only.

All player specials (eg. passes, shots, shots on target, tackels, fouls, goals, assists) are settled based on OPTA stats.

If a market within the Build-a-bet constructed bet is void/pushed, then the entire Bet Builder bet will be void/pushed - e.g. if your Goalscorer selection does not play the entire bet will be void regardless of the outcome of the other selections.
