    • § Otherwise than in accordance with the applicable laws.

• 3) "Syndicate Betting" is an act, prohibited by LiveScore Bet, where Account Holders act together to place a bet or series of bets on the same event or competition, or when an Account Holder places a bet on behalf, or for the intended benefit, of another individual or other individuals. Where there is evidence of Account Holders acting together in this manner LiveScore Bet reserves the right to make the relevant bets void and/or withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of subsequent investigations to determine whether (in LiveScore Bet’s sole opinion), Syndicate Betting has taken place.
• 4) “Website” or “website” has the meaning in the LiveScore Bet general Terms and Conditions referred to at <Section A, Para 1. 5>, unless otherwise stated.

3. Bet Acceptance

• 1) Each bet constitutes a legally binding betting contract between the Account Holder and LiveScore Bet. The formation of such betting contract requires the following phases:
  • a) The advertisement of a betting market.
  • b) The request to place a bet or wager on the betting market by the Account Holder.
  • c) The acceptance and confirmation of the bet or wager by LiveScore Bet.
• 2) A bet is not accepted and confirmed until it shows in the Account Holder’s bet history. Once it does, the contract will be considered duly formed. In cases of uncertainty about whether a bet has been accepted, the Account Holder is requested to check the open (pending) bets or contact Customer Service for confirmation. No bet or wager will be considered as completed unless confirmed via the Account holder’s bet history or Customer services. Unless accepted in Error, once accepted, a bet cannot be withdrawn by the Account Holder. It is the responsibility of the Account Holder to ensure details of the bets placed are correct.
• 3) Should a dispute arise about the acceptance (or lack thereof) of any bet, or the time at which any bet was placed, LiveScore Bet’s transaction log database will be the ultimate authority in determining such matters.
• 4) LiveScore Bet may refuse to accept any bets at any time, and for any reason, including in order to:
  • a) Preserve the viability of the offered market (for example, without limitation, in relation to events where there is an extraordinary or unbalanced number of bets on the same market).
  • b) Protect the Account Holder (e.g., without limitation, in relation to the event in which the Account Holder displays pathological behaviour and refuses to self-exclude).
  • c) Protect other users (e.g., without limitation, in connection with the event in which the Account Holder has a betting pattern that could adversely affect the regular betting activity of other users).
  • d) To protect LiveScore Bet (for example, without limitation, in the event that the Account Holder exhibits money laundering, collusive or fraudulent behaviour, we suspect that Account Holder is using a third party's account, is allowing a third party to use the account, or is using automated means, bots, software or similar means, or engaging in arbitrage).
• 5) LiveScore Bet, depending on the level of risk, instead of refusing a bet or a wager, may accept the bet request placed by the Account Holder up to a certain amount thereof.

4. Betting and Payout Limitations

• 1) In order to guarantee the viability of each market, to avoid potential cases of fraud and match-fixing, and to be able to make a correct estimate of the risk involved in each product offered, LiveScore Bet will limit the net payout (the payout after the stake has been deducted) on any bet or combination of bets by one Account Holder at £1,000,000 for any bets placed or settled per calendar day.
• 2) In addition to the limit stated in <Section A, Para 4.1> above, there are maximum payout limits set out which apply to each customer in a calendar day and to each different bet type, depending on the market, sport and league. Please see <Appendix A> for details.

• 4) LiveScore Bet reserves the right to decline, all, or part of, any bet requested. This includes the possibility that a "System bet" as defined in <Section B, Para 4> is not accepted in full, either in terms of stakes or combinations included in said "System bet". All bets placed through any LiveScore Bet platform, also including bets requesting manual approval, may be subject to a time delay prior to acceptance, the length of which may vary.
• 5) All odds offered are subject to variation. Such fluctuation is determined by LiveScore Bet. Bets are accepted, only at the odds available in the betting grid, at the time the bet was accepted by LiveScore Bet, irrespective of any other claim or previous publication present on the website or any other media detailing otherwise.
• 6) All payout calculations when settling bets will be done based on decimal odds, irrespective of any other format displayed/chosen at time of bet placement.

• 1) A bet can be declared void, under the circumstances described in clause 3 below. If a bet is voided, it will be settled with odds of 1.00.
• 2) A bet made as an accumulative bet shall remain valid, notwithstanding a match or an event which is part of the accumulative bet being void.
• 3) LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to declare a bet void, totally or partially, if any of the following, or similar, circumstances have occurred:
  • a) Bets have been offered, placed and/or accepted due to an Error, as defined in <Section A, Para 2.1> and/or at odds which significantly differ from those currently present elsewhere in the betting industry market.
  • b) Bets have been offered with incorrect criteria resulting in ambiguous offers or invalid settlements (e.g. Match Odds being offered with “Yes/No” options).
  • c) Bets placed while the website was encountering technical problems, that would otherwise not have been accepted.
  • d) Influence Betting.
  • e) Syndicate Betting.
  • f) A result has been affected by criminal actions - directly or indirectly.
  • g) A public announcement has occurred in relation to the bet which significantly alters the odds.
  • h) A bet has been offered on the relevant market in breach of the gambling regulation in the specific jurisdiction. LiveScore Bet ceases offering its services in a specific country, region or regulation and the bet has been placed under the jurisdiction of that country, region or regulation.
• 4) Past-posting and other cancellations: While LiveScore Bet employs its most reasonable endeavours to ensure the best user-experience, should a market be available for betting when it should have been removed or else with incorrect odds, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to void all bets accepted within said circumstances in accordance with <Section A, Para 5.3>. Similar situations include, but are not limited to:
  • a) 'Pre-match' bets placed/accepted after the event has started.
  • b) 'Live' bets placed/accepted at incorrect odds due to delayed or failing ‘Live’ coverage, or on odds which represented a different score than the actual.
  • c) Bets placed following the last instance that a participant/outcome had any chance to influence the match/event scoring applicable to the relevant market and an eventual withdrawal/disqualification/cancellation/format change or anything which precludes the ability of the applicable participant/outcome to influence said scoring will be declared void.
  • d) Bets placed with odds which do not reflect that a related event was underway and where conditions could have been altered in a direct and indisputable way, or else after an event which could normally be deemed as leading to the outcome is happening or has happened already.
• 5) Related contingencies: Unless placed via LiveScore Bet's in-event combination functionality, or offered explicitly as a specific offering, LiveScore Bet prohibits accumulator bets that include two or more outcomes which might turn out to be related (e.g. Team X to become champions and Player Y to be Top Goal Scorer in the same league). Although LiveScore Bet takes all necessary steps to prevent such possibilities, in the eventuality that this would happen, LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to declare void all parts of the accumulative bet which include the correlated outcomes whose odds are not indicative of the related contingency.
• 6) Bets can be voided regardless of whether the event has been settled or not.

6. Disclaimer and Priority

• 1) LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to adjust a payout credited to an Account Holder’s balance if the payout has been credited to the Account due to an Error.
• 2) In order to adjust any inaccuracy in the Account Holder's balance following amounts credited due to Error, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to take any necessary action, without prior notice and within reasonable limits, to adjust the Account Holder's balance through the reversal, amendment or cancellation, of any subsequent transaction on the Account Holder's account.
• 3) These rules are applicable to all transactions with LiveScore Bet Sports Book and may be supplemented with other Rules. In the event of ambiguity, priority should be considered in the following order:
  1. Rules and conditions published in conjunction with an offer and/or campaign.
  2. Sport-Specific Rules.
  3. General Sports Book rules.
• 4) Should unforeseen circumstances occur for which settlement is not covered explicitly by these rules LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to settle affected bets on an individual basis on the basis of equity, attaining itself to generally accepted betting norms, customs and definitions.
• 5) Any data provided or accessible in, from, or related to the Sports Book, may be used by the Account Holder for private, non-commercial use only and any use or attempted use of such data for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.
• 6) LiveScore Bet has the right to enforce a term of the contract relating to the Sports Book against any Account Holder.

1. Common Terms of Reference

• 1) Unless listed either in conjunction with the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, all bets should be considered valid for the result at the end of the "Regular Time" or "Full Time" only. "Regular Time" or "Full time" is defined as interpreted by the official rules published by the respective governing body. For example, in football, full time is stipulated to be 90 minutes including injury time, and in Ice Hockey it is stipulated as the 3 x 20-minute periods. Should the governing body decide to stipulate, before the start of the event, that the said event is to be played over a different duration, this will be treated as being the official rules for the event (for example, football matches played with 3 x 30 minutes or 2 x 40 minutes formats). Nonetheless, such occurrence is limited to the "regular" playing time and does not include any prolongation such as extra time or overtime, unless explicitly stated.
• 2) "LiveBetting" or “Live Betting” is where it is possible to bet during an ongoing match or event. LiveScore Bet does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever if it not possible to place a bet or the live score update is not correct. At all times it is the Account Holder's responsibility to be aware of the match and the events surrounding it such as the current score, its progression and how much time remains before the match is completed. LiveScore Bet does not accept any liability for changes to the LiveBetting schedule or interruption of the LiveBetting service.
• 3) The Cash Out function allows the Account Holder the possibility to redeem a bet, which status has not been settled yet, at its current value. It is available on selected events both in pre-match and live, as well as on both single and multiple bets. Cash Out functionality cannot be used on free bets. Cash Out requests might be subject to the same delay procedure as listed in <Section A, Para 4.2>. Should it happen that during this delay, for whatever reason, either the offer is removed, or odds fluctuate, the Cash Out request will not be accepted, and the Account Holder will be notified with an on-screen message. LiveScore Bet reserves the right to offer such functionality at its own discretion and does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever should the functionality not be available. Should a Cash Out request be successful, the bet will be settled immediately and any subsequent events which occur in relation with the bet will not be considered. In the instance of a Cash Out bet having suffered from a technical, pricing or settlement error at any time between the time of original offering and the final settlement, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to rectify such inaccuracy in accordance with <Section A, Para 6.2>.
• 4) The "Participant" is an object constituting part of an event. In "Head-to-Head" and "Triple-Head" the Participant only refers to objects that are subject to the "Head-to-Head" or "Triple-Head" event in question. For sake of clarity a “participant” is to be intended as a single player, a team or any group of individuals grouped/listed together. Any reference to participants within these rules is to be intended accordingly regardless of whether its definition is in singular or plural.
• 5) The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the website is to be treated for information purposes only. LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to suspend, partially or completely, the betting activity at any time where it deems necessary.
• 6) Statistics or editorial text published on LiveScore Bet’s website(s) are to be considered as added information. LiveScore Bet does not acknowledge or accept any liability if the information is not correct. At all times it is the Account Holder’s responsibility to be aware about circumstances relating to an event.

2. Bet Types

• 1) "Match" (aka 1X2) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) outcome of a match or event. The options are: "1" = Home team/Player 1, or the participant listed to the left side of the offer; "X" = Draw/Tie, or the selection in the middle; "2" = Away team/Player 2, or the participant listed to the right side of the offer. In particular instances or specific competitions, LiveScore Bet might display an offer in the so-called “American” format (i.e.: Away Team @ Home Team), where the host team is listed following the visiting team. Irrespective of the positioning of the teams on the board/betslip, the references to “Home” and “Away” teams will always refer to the actual teams playing at home (host) and away (visitor) respectively, as determined by the official organization bar the exceptions as detailed in <Section B, Para 5.31>
• 2) "Correct Score" (aka Result Betting) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) exact score of a match/event, or part of it.
• 3) "Over/Under" (aka Totals) is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes, etc.). Should the total amount of the listed occurrences be exactly equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: an offer where the betting line is 128.0 points and the match ends with the result 64-64 will be declared void.
• 4) "Odd/Even" is where it is possible to bet on the (partial or definite) amount of a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals, points, corners, rebounds, penalty minutes, etc.)."Odd" is 1, 3, 5 etc.; "Even" is 0, 2, 4 etc.
• 5) A "Head-to-Head" and/or "Triple-Head" is a competition between two or three participants/outcomes, originating from either an officially organised event, or else, as virtually defined by LiveScore Bet.
• 6) "Half time/Full time" is where it is possible to bet on the result in half time and the outcome at the end of the listed timeframe. E.g. if at half time the home team is leading 1-0 and the match ends 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/X. Bets on this market will be declared void should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
• 7) "Period betting" is where it is possible to bet on the outcome of each separate period within a match/event. E.g. If the period scores in an ice hockey match are 2-0 / 0-1 / 1-1, the winning outcome is 1/2/X. Bets on this market will be declared void should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome, based on the timeframes listed within the offer.
• 8) "Draw No Bet" is where it is possible to bet on either "1" or "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>. It is also common practice to refer to "Draw No Bet" in cases where no draw odds are offered. Bets will be voided should the specific match/event not produce any winning outcome (E.g. match ends as a draw), or the occurrence not happen (E.g. First Goal, Draw No Bet and match ends 0-0).
• 9)
  • a) "Handicap" (aka Spread) is where it is possible to bet on whether the chosen outcome will be victorious once the listed handicap is added/subtracted (as applicable) to the match/period/total score to which the bet refers to. In those circumstances where the result after the adjustment of the handicap line is exactly equal to the betting line, then all bets on this offer will be declared void. Example: a bet on -3.0 goals will be declared void if the chosen team wins the match by exactly 3 goals difference (3-0,4-1, 5-2, etc). Any reference in this section to the term “margin” is intended to be understood as the outcome emerging from the subtraction of the goals/points scored by the 2 teams/participants.
  • b) Unless otherwise stated, all handicaps listed on the LiveScore Bet site are to be calculated based on the result from the start of the listed match/period to the end of the specified match/period. It is however customary that for certain handicap bet offers in specific sports (Asian Handicap in Football), only the outcomes obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe will be taken into consideration, thus disregarding any goals/points scored before the time the bet was placed and accepted. Any bet offer with these characteristics will be clearly displayed on site and highlighted in the bettors’ Bet History with the score at the time of bet placement.
  • c) There are 3 different “handicap betting” formats:
    • i. 2-way Handicap: Team A (-1.5) vs Team B (+1.5)

      Example:

      • · Team A is given a -1.5 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A must win the match with a margin equal or bigger than the listed handicap (i.e. 2 goals or more).
      • · Team B is given a +1.5 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B must either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than their listed advantage (i.e. lose with a 1 goal margin).
    • ii. 3-way Handicap: Team A (-2) Draw (Exactly 2) Team B (+2)

      Example:

      • · Team A is given a 2 goal handicap in the match. For the bet to be won, Team A must win the match with a bigger margin than the listed handicap (i.e. 3 goals or more).
      • · Draw would be the victorious outcome should the match end up with exactly the listed margin (i.e. match ends with results such as 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2).
      • · Team B is given a 2 goal advantage in the match. For the bet to be won, Team B must either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than their listed advantage (i.e. lose with only a 1 goal margin).
    • iii. Asian Handicap: Team A (-1.75) vs Team B (+1.75)

      Example:

      • · Team A is given a -1.75 goal handicap in the match. This means that the stake is divided into 2 equal bets and placed on the outcomes -1.5 and -2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out at the listed odds, Team A must win the match with a bigger margin than both of their listed handicaps (i.e.. 3 goals or more margin). In the eventuality that Team A wins with only a 2 goal margin, the bet will be considered as partially won with a full payout on the -1.5 part of the bet and a refund on the -2.0 side since the outcome on that part of the bet would be considered a “tie”. Should the match produce any other outcome, including a Team A victory with only 1 goal of margin, the whole stake would be lost.
      • · Team B is given a +1.75 goal advantage in the match. This means that the stake is divided into 2 equal bets and placed on the outcomes +1.5 and +2.0. For the bet to be fully paid out at the listed odds, Team B must either win the match, match finish in a draw or not lose with a margin equal or bigger than any of their listed advantages (i.e.. lose with only a 1 goal margin). In the eventuality that Team B loses with exactly a 2 goal margin, the bet will be considered as partially lost with a refund on the -2.0 part of the bet and a loss on the -1.5 part of the bet. Should the match produce any other outcome which results in a defeat of Team B with a margin of 3 or more goals, the whole stake would be lost.
• 10) "Double Chance" is where it is possible to bet simultaneously on two (partial or definite) outcomes of a match or event. The options are: 1X, 12 and X2 with "1", "X" and "2" as defined in <Section B, Para 2.1>.
• 11) "Outright" or "Place" betting is where it is possible to choose from a list of alternatives and bet on the eventuality that a participant wins or places within a specified position in the classification of the listed event/competition. Should two or more participants share finishing positions, the settlement will be based as per the definition in <Section B, Para 5.14>.
• 12) An “Each Way” bet (aka EW) refers to a bet where the chosen selection must either Win or else Place within the payout terms. The bet is divided in two parts (the “Win” part and the “Place” part) of an equal stake. Settlement of such bets will take into account the applicable rules governing the "Win" and "Place" bets, namely the Sport-specific rules as well as <Section B, Para 5. 11>.
• 13) "Goal minutes" is where it is possible to bet on the sum of the minutes when the goals have been scored. When settling such bets, goals scored in injury time of both halves are to be considered as having been scored in the 45th minute in case the goal was scored in the first half injury time and the 90th minute in case the goal was scored in the second half injury time. Own goals will not count towards the settlement of individual player’s ‘goal minutes'.

3. Betting Props

• 1) “Fantasy Matches" or "Head to Heads" are implicit match-ups where the performances of two or more participants/teams which are not directly confronting each other in the same match/event/round are compared. Settlement will be based on the number of times each participant records a predefined occurrence (e.g. goals) in the respective match. The following criteria will be used to determine the settlement of these type of offerings:
  • a) Unless specifically stated the bets refer to the next official match/event/round (as applicable) that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in.
  • b) All relative matches/events must be completed on the same day/session which the match/event/round is scheduled to be completed for bets to stand, except for those offers the outcomes of which has been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
  • c) Results for these offers will only take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results attributable to walk-overs as well as other decisions as specified in clauses 2, 3 and 4 of <Section B, Para 5> will not be taken into consideration.
  • d) Should the aforementioned criteria be inconclusive in determining the outcome for these offers, the following criteria will be progressively referenced to in order to settle the offering:
    1. the applicable Sport-specific rules as listed in <Section C>.
    2. Result Settlement rules as listed in <Section B, Para 5>.
    Bets will be settled as void should it still be impossible to determine a winning outcome.
• 2) "Grand Salami" is where it is possible to bet on the total number of listed occurrences (Example: Total Goals, Total Runs) happening in a collection of matches/events on a specified round/day/match day. All relative matches/events must be completed for bets to stand except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
• 3) Over/Under bets on classification of participants in performances/events must be interpreted as follows: "Over" means a worse or lower position while "Under" means a better or higher position. Example: A bet on a player's classification in a tournament with an Over/Under line 2.5 will be settled as Under if the player classifies first or second. All other placements will be settled as Over.
• 4) Bets on "Quarter / Half / Period X" refer to the result/score achieved in the relevant timeframe and does not include any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match. Bets on this market will be declared void should the match be played in a format where it is impossible to determine an outcome for the timeframes specified in the offer.
• 5) Bets on "Result at end of Quarter / Half / Period X" refer to the result of the match/event after termination of the stipulated timeframe and will take into account all other points/goals/events tallied from previous parts of the event/match.

• 6) Bets on "Race to X Points / Race to X Goals..." and similar offers refer to the team/participant that is the first to reach the specified tally of points/goals/events. If the offer lists a timeframe (or any other period restriction), it will not include any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match which are not related to the mentioned timeframe. Should the listed score not be reached within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void, unless odds for such eventuality have been published within the market.
• 7) Bets on "Winner of Point X / Next to Score " and similar offers refer to the team/participant scoring/winning the listed occurrence. For the settlement of these offers, no reference to events happening prior to the listed occurrence will be taken into consideration. Should the listed occurrence not be scored/won within the stipulated timeframe (if any), all bets will be declared void, unless odds for such eventuality have been published within the market.
• 8) Bets referring to the happening of a particular occurrence in a pre-defined time order, such as “First Card”, or “Next Team to receive penalty minutes” will be settled as void should it not be possible, without any reasonable doubt, to decide the winning outcome, for example in case of players from different teams which are shown a card in the same interruption of play.
• 9) "To score first and win" refer to the listed team/participant being the first to register any scoring in the match and going on to win the match. Should there be no scoring in the match all bets will be settled as void.

• 13) Any reference to "Injury Time" refers to the amount displayed by the designated official and not to the actual amount played.
• 14) Settlement of bets on offers such as "Man of the Match", "Most Valuable Player" etc. will be based on the competition's organisers’ decision, unless otherwise stated.
• 15) Settlement of bets which make reference to terms such as "decisive goal" will be settled based on the scorer of the goal that at the end of the match/tie (as applicable) proves to be the one that has produced an unassailable lead, following which any further goals would prove to be irrelevant towards the final outcome. For a bet to be settled as "YES" the listed player's team must be declared winner of that particular match (in case of one match) or progressing to the next round/winning the competition. Goals scored in Regular Time and Extra Time count but not Penalty Shoot outs.
• 16) Bets on events which feature a selection of episodes that could happen in a match (E.g.

Football markets will consider and settle accordingly, any interim/caretaker Head Coach/Manager who since the last managerial change has led the team for 10 consecutive matches.
• 19) Offers referring to which team/participant will achieve a particular accomplishment against another team/participant (E.g. Next team to beat Team X) as well as offers which refer to the classification on a certain date, will stand and be settled regardless of any eventual fixture changes and number of games/rounds played.
• 20) Settlement of offers referring to which team/participant will be the first to achieve a particular accomplishment against other team(s)/participant(s) (E.g. Team to score first in Matchday X) will be based upon the timeframe in the respective match in which the feat has been accomplished. Example: Team A plays on Saturday and score their first goal in the 43rd minute while Team B plays on Sunday and score their first goal after 5 minutes, then Team B will be settled as winner.
• 21) From time to time LiveScore Bet, at its sole discretion and without prejudice to related contingencies as described in <Section A, Para 5. 4>, may publish a bet offer which refers to either the single performance of a participant/team or which combines the potential outcomes of 2 or more teams/participants (example: Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc), at higher odds than those normally available. LiveScore Bet reserves the right to remove such offers, edit the respective odds and implement any further changes LiveScore Bet might deem necessary at its sole discretion. Settlement of these bet offers will be based on the following criteria in the listed order:
  • a) Unless specifically stated the offer refers only to the listed day(s) and/or next official match/event/round (as applicable) that the listed participants/teams are scheduled to take part in at the time the offer is published.
  • b) Results settled as per respective Sport-specific rules. All related events must be completed as scheduled within the applicable timeframes for bets to stand unless any other outcome in the offer would incontrovertibly determine the outcome of the bet in a way that completion (or lack of thereof) of the other events listed in the offer would not influence the outcome of the offer. Such markets will be settled according to the already determined outcomes.
  • c) Unless explicitly stated within the offer, result settlement will only take into account occurrences deriving from the actual play. Results attributable to walk-overs, protests, changes to the first official result, etc. will not be taken into consideration. Bets will be voided should it be impossible to determine a winning outcome in accordance with the respective Sport-specific rules.
  • d) All connotations related to the offer must be fully and unquestionably complied with, for the bet to be deemed as winning, regardless of any possible conflict with the Sport-Specific rules, or with any potential interpretation based on previous or current presentation of offers related to events in that particular sport and the way these are normally presented in LiveScore Bet Sports Book. Where applicable, should the offer include any outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen Over/Under or Spread line (aka PUSH) this will not be considered as having accomplished the listed occurrence and will result in the bet being settled as LOST.
  While all necessary precautions have been taken by LiveScore Bet to ensure a superior user experience, it is to be understood that markets might fluctuate in such a way that, at any given point in time, these markets do not represent an enhanced value comparable to related bet offers currently present on LiveScore Bet Sports Book. All bets remain valid regardless of these eventual fluctuations.
• 22) During selected events, LiveScore Bet will provide users with functionality to place bets combining outcomes and occurrences from the same event (aka “Intra-Event Combinations” or “Bet Builder”), either through pre-established combinations present in its Sportsbook (excluding Enhanced Multiples, Boosted Odds, etc for which <Section B, Para 3. 21> applies), or through the Bet Builder functionality. Such functionality is only present at LiveScore Bet's sole discretion and without prejudice to related contingencies as described in <Section A, Para 5.5>. All selections within an intra-event combination (Bet Builder) will be settled according to the respective sport-specific rules. Should any selection be settled as VOID, all selections within that intra-event combination will be settled as VOID and stakes refunded. Where applicable, should the combination feature any outcome the result of which ties exactly the chosen Over/Under or Spread line (aka PUSH), such part of the combination will be removed from settlement calculation and bets will be paid out taking into consideration only the other parts of the combination. If Bet Builder bets from more than one event are combined in one bet slip, each Bet Builder event is considered one separate selection for the purposes of an accumulator bet (aka “Acca”). Accordingly, and subject to <Section A, Para 5, Clause 5> if the Bet Builder bet of one event is void, the other selections in the bet slip are not affected.
• 23) “Teaser+” allows the user the possibility to allocate the same pre-set amount of points to all outcomes present in a parlay (combination) containing Spreads (Handicaps), Totals (Over/Unders) or a combination of both. Example: User combines NFL Team X +6.5 points in a parlay with Over 41 points in the NFL match between Team Y and Team Z. By choosing the “Teaser+ Football 6 points” option, the lines and odds get recalculated into a parlay featuring Team X +12.5 points (previously +6.5), combined with Over 35 points (previously Over 41). Should any part of a “Teaser+” bet be settled as void (push), that particular selection will be excluded from the parlay and the computation of odds/payout will be re-adjusted accordingly.
• 24) Bets referring to “Rest of the match” or similar will consider only outcomes and occurrences obtained from the time of bet placement until the end of the listed timeframe, thus disregarding any occurrences registered before the time the bet was placed and accepted.
• 25) Bets on specific timeframes/intervals (example: Match result between 60:00-89:59), will consider only outcomes and occurrences accumulated during the specified timeframe/interval. Settlement will not take into account any other points/goals/events tallied from other parts of the event/match outside the specified timeframe/interval, including stoppage/injury time, unless specified.

4. System Bets

• 1) In Pre-match and Live betting, it is possible to combine up to twelve (12) different offers on a single coupon. Based on these twelve offers, Account Holders can choose their own number of doubles, trebles, accumulators etc.

• 11) For display purposes, when necessary, the second digit after the decimal point of the odds is shown as rounded up in the Account Holder’s bet history to the nearest decimal number. The payout will however be made based on the actual odds multiplied by the stake, disregarding the aforementioned rounding.

5. Result Settlement

• 1) When settling results LiveScore Bet will do its utmost to attain itself to information obtained first-hand (during or exactly after the event has been concluded), through TV transmissions, streaming (web-based and through other sources) as well as official sites. Should this information be omitted from first-hand viewing and/or official sources and/or there is an obvious mistake in the information included in the sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will be based on other public sources. Nevertheless, unless a clear and verifiable Error is noted in the first official result, settlement of bets will not include any changes deriving from and/or attributable to, but not limited to: disqualifications, penalisations, protests, sub-judice results and/or successive changes to the official result after the event has been completed and a result has been announced, even preliminarily.
• 2)
  • a) Settlement of markets held over for more than 1 round/stage (E.g.: Season Bets), will only consider amendments affecting bets for which settlement has not yet been decided. Such measures must be announced by the governing body before the last scheduled round/stage will be considered. Any changes effected after this date, or else referring to bets which have already been settled based on events happening during the event/competition will not be considered.
  • b) Unless otherwise specified within the offer, implied by the official competition rules or announced beforehand as being the official format for that particular event, any changes from the default sport/event/competition format that result in LiveScore Bet offering odds/lines/totals which are incongruent with the revised playing format, will result in the voiding of the bets affected by the format change.
  • c) Offers where the format change does not preclude the governing body from declaring a winner (e.g. Season winner), irrespective whether there will be a continuation of play or not, revised length of season/competition etc., will be settled according to the result issued by the governing body granted that said result is issued as per the timeframes listed below and is congruent to the odds/lines/totals available at time of offer publishing.
  • d) The following settlement provisions apply in such cases:
    • i. Should the governing body declare a relevant outcome within 3 months from the last match played before the interruption (be it final classification, cancellation or intentions to resume play), markets will be determined accordingly.
    • ii. In case no applicable official communication/result is issued within 3 months from the last match played before the interruption, markets will be settled in accordance with the last classification/rankings available, regardless of number of matches played/current stage/phase of the competition.
    • iii. Markets which refer to whether a team/participant will reach a subsequent phase of the competition (e.g. Play-Offs) will be settled as void should there be any changes to the format/number of participants scheduled to contest that particular phase or that particular phase is not played at all, unless an outcome based on the market connotations at time of bet publishing has already been determined and the change in number of applicable matches bears no influence the outcome of the offer.
    • iv. Markets which odds are dependent/based on a full schedule of matches being played (example: Over/Under Wins in the Regular Season/Points in the League), will be declared void should the number of matches played end up being different than originally scheduled at the time of bet publishing, unless an outcome has already been determined and the change in number of applicable matches bears no influence the outcome of the offer.
• 3) Occurrences which have not been sanctioned and/or acknowledged by the match/event officials (e.g. disallowed goals) will not be taken into account towards the settlement of the bet. Unless otherwise stated in the bet offer, occurrences will be settled based on the time the related action is taken, not on the time when the occurrence was awarded. Occurrences are only considered valid for settlement, if the subsequent related action is performed (e.g. offside must result in a free kick, corners must be taken, and goal kicks must be taken). Should the occurrence be only awarded and not taken, it will not be considered for settlement purposes.
• 4) All bet offers related to matches/events which do not take place at all or are awarded a result through a walk-over decision, will be declared void.
• 5) In case of an abandoned event, all bet offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, will be settled according to the decided outcome. Should the abandoned event not resume within 12 hours of its start time, all pending offers related to the event will be settled as void.
• 6) In case an event is abandoned and is scheduled to restart from the beginning, all bets placed before the initial match which could not be settled through the outcomes deriving from the play prior to abandonment, will be declared void regardless of whether or when the match is continued.
• 7) Bets on events that are cancelled, postponed or rescheduled more than 12 hours beyond their official start time will be void, unless otherwise specified in sport-specific rules or the specific bet offer. However, bets will remain valid under the following exceptions:
  • a) The event did not have an official start time confirmed by the relevant governing body at the time of bet placement.
  • b) The event is rescheduled for logistical or broadcast reasons but remains within the same competition round, and the sequence of official fixtures for all participants remains unchanged.
  • c) The start time is advanced, but the match still occurs within the same round, and the order of official fixtures is preserved. Past-posting and similar cancellation occurrences as defined in <Section A, Para 5.4> still apply.

  A fixture is no longer deemed part of the same matchday/round if, due to rescheduling, it is no longer the next scheduled official match for all participating teams. In such cases, affected bets will be VOID.
  This rule does not apply to season or outright bets, which remain valid provided the competition is held and completed in the relevant season/year as displayed within the offer, regardless of scheduling changes.
  For playoff or multi-leg series, individual match rescheduling does not affect bet validity provided the order of home/away fixtures is maintained and the match occurs within the series framework. Otherwise, bets are VOID.

• 8) In cases of events which have not been completed before their natural conclusion, and a result is issued through a decision by the association not more than 12 hours from the event’s start, LiveScore Bet will use the issued decision as the official result for offers related to the event's outcome, such as Match, Draw No Bet and Double Chance granted that the issued decision does not change the outcome of the said bet offers at the time of the abandonment. In that case the stakes will be refunded. All offers referring to the tallying of particular occurrences (example: Total Goals, Handicaps, etc) will be declared void except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
• 9) All bet offers related to uncompleted matches/events where the official governing body is not previously acknowledged (e.g. Club Friendlies) will be declared as void unless at least 90% of the stipulated Regular/Full time is played, see in <Section B, Para 1.1>. Should the match/event be abandoned after 90% has been completed, the settlement will be based on the current score at the time when the match/event was stopped.
• 10) Unless stated alongside the betting market, settlement of bet offers, such as, but not limited to, shots, shots on target, ball possession, assists, rebounds, etc. will be based according to the definition with which the official governing body issues said statistics. Unless backed by un-contradictory evidence, LiveScore Bet will not acknowledge any complaints which derive from a personal interpretation of such terms. Football markets offered in the bet builder (Intra-event Combinations) will always be settled using data from a LiveScore Bet designated third-party provider.
• 11) With the exception of Trotting and Horse Racing, bets placed on participants/teams who take no part in an event, will be declared void. However applicable qualifying stages or similar, are to be considered part of the main event, and any participation within, is considered as validating the bet and will not be voided.
• 12) No refunds of bets will apply, even if the winning outcome of a match/event is a participant/outcome that has not been listed for betting purposes. On all bet offers the Account Holder has the possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed participant/outcome. LiveScore Bet reserves the right, to accept or decline such requests.
• 13) In case a participant is disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a subsequent part/phase of an event/competition, the disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the time of the participant’s removal from the event. No alterations will be made to previous results, regardless of any modifications due to said actions. Bets placed after the disqualified participant last took part in the event will be declared void.
• 14) If two or more Participants share the applicable finishing positions and no odds have been offered for a drawn outcome, the payout will be calculated using “Dead Heat” rules. The payout is calculated using the following equation:
  
  Payout = Stake x (Odds ÷ Number of Participants Sharing the Certain Positions).
  
  The payout will always be at least equal to the stake, except in cases of “Head to Heads.”, see <Section B, Para 2.5> and <Section B, Para 5.19>
  
  Examples of Dead Heat rules settlements include, but are not limited to, the following instances (All calculations use decimal odds):
  
  Example 1

  You bet £20 on a participant to finish in the Top 20 at odds 2.0. The participant finishes tied 16th with 5 other players. Payout would be calculated as follows:

  2.0 x 5 = 10.0 (Original odds multiplied by number of places remaining in top 20)

  10.0 ÷ 6= 1.67 (10.0 taken from output of the calculation above, divided by number of players sharing the remaining places in top 20)

  1.67 x 20= 33.40 (New odds multiplied by stake)

  Payout of £33.40

  Example 2

  You bet £10 on a participant to finish in the top 10 at odds 3.0. The participant finishes tied 10th with 3 other players. Payout would be calculated as follows:

  3.0 x 1 = 3.0 (Original odds multiplied by number of places remaining in top 10)

  3.0 ÷ 4 = 0.75 (3.0 taken from output of calculation above, divided by number of players sharing 10th place)

  0.75 x 10 = 7.50 (New odds multiplied by stake)

  Payout of £10

  Note here the payout computed is less than the original stake. As the rule states, payouts will always equal the stake, except in cases of head to heads. In this example, the bet was not a head to head, and thus payout equals the stake of £10.
  
  Example 3

  You bet £10 on a participant to win his 3-ball at odds 2.40. The participant finishes tied for best score with 1 other player. Payout would be calculated as follows:

  2.40 ÷ 2 = 1.20 (Original odds divided by number of players who tied)

  1.20 x 10 = 12.0 (New odds multiplied by stake)

  Payout of £12

  Example 4

  You bet £10 on a participant to win his 3-ball at odds 1.50. The participant finishes tied for best score with 1 other player. Payout would be calculated as below:

  1.5 ÷ 2 = 0.75 (Original odds divided by number of players who tied)

  0.75 x 10 = 7.50 (New odds multiplied by stake)

  Payout of £7.50

  Note here the payout is less than the stake. As the rule states, payouts will always equal the stake, except in cases of head to heads. In this example, the bet was a head to head, and thus payout can be less than the stake.
• 15) In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”), all listed participants must start the event for bets to stand.
• 16) In “Group Betting” (aka “Best of X”), at least one participant from the selection list must successfully complete the event for bets to stand. Should that not be the case, and the governing body does not follow specific tie-breaking criteria, the bets will be declared void.
• 17) In a "Head to Head" between two or three participants, all listed participants must start the particular round/event which the bet refers to, for bets to be considered valid.
• 18) In a "Head to Head" between two participants, all bets will be refunded if both participants share the same position/score or are eliminated at the same stage of the competition, unless the governing body follows specific tie-breaking procedures, in which case, these will be deemed valid.
• 19) If a "Head to Head" is offered between different rounds/stages, all participants must take part in the upcoming round/stage for bets to be valid. Should any participant listed in the offer not take any subsequent part, bets placed from after the last time the participant was active in the event will be declared void.
• 20) Unless specifically stated, whenever the organising association deems it fit to include any necessary rounds, matches, or series of matches (e.g. Play-offs, Play-outs, Postseason) following the end of the so-called Regular Season in order to determine the classification, league winners, promotion/relegation, etc., LiveScore Bet will take into account the results and outcomes deriving from these matches for settlement purposes of bets referring to the final league classification, promotion, relegation, etc. For example, seasonal bets on the team winning the NHL will refer to the Stanley Cup Winners.
• 21) Offers which confront against each other the performances of two or more individuals/teams over a stipulated timeframe/competition will only be settled based on the result of the listed participants, disregarding all other participants in the same competition/event.
• 22) Unless specifically stated, all offers referring to a single player’s performance in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances in domestic leagues, will not take into account those events happening during eventual Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would happen after the so-called Regular Season.
• 23) Offers related to a total amount of occurrences/events scored/tallied by a particular team, either in a single team performance in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Team X), or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two teams’ performances in domestic leagues (E.g. Most Penalty Minutes in League X - Team Y vs Team Z), or a cumulative league performance (E.g. Team to receive Most Yellow Cards in League X) will not take into account those events happening during eventual Play-offs/Play-outs/Post-season or any other matches, or series of, which would happen after the so-called Regular Season, unless otherwise specified.
• 24) In a single player performance bet offer in a specific domestic league (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in League Y) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances in domestic leagues, unless an outcome has already been achieved, bets will be voided should any of the following occurrences happen to any relevant participant: (i) is not part of the matchday squad for the club/team they are eligible for at time of bet placement in 50% or more of the remaining applicable matches for any reason, (ii) does not take part in at least another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same amount as the other player, unless a draw/tie option has been offered. Other sports-specific conditions may apply, please refer to the Sport-specific section.
• 25) In a single player performance bet offer in a specific event (such as Total Goals Scored by Player X in International Tournament) or "Head to Head" bet offers involving two players’ performances in specific events, should any of the following occurrences happen to either of the participants in the selection list, the bets will be considered void: (i) does not take part at all in the event (ii) does not take part in at least another match after the bet has been placed, (iii) totals the same amount as the other participant, unless a draw/tie option has been offered.
• 26) During specific events LiveScore Bet might decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of participants and might also include betting options such as "any other", "the field", or similar. This option includes all unlisted participants except for the ones mentioned specifically as available.
• 27) Offers that make specific reference to a participant’s/participants’ performance in a particular event (e.g. Player X vs The Field) are to be considered void if the mentioned participant(s) do(es) not take part in the competition.
• 28) Any form of a qualification ahead of the main event is considered to be a valid part of that competition. Thus any participant who is eliminated at qualification stage will be considered losing to anyone that is pre-qualified or is successful in the qualification part.
• 29) Bet offers which originally require participant(s) to compete in two or more stages/legs to advance into a subsequent phase/round of a competition, will remain valid regardless of any postponement/movement of the actual match dates, given that said match(es) actually takes place within the frame of the competition.
• 30) A bet on a “To Qualify” market originally requiring just one stage/leg to advance to a subsequent phase/round of a competition (including any eventual prolongations/additional matches, e.g. replays) will be declared void if said match is not decided within more than 12 hours of its supposed start time.
• 31)
  • a) Bets remain valid if the venue or surface changes, unless the sport’s specific rules state otherwise or the event is moved to the regular home venue of one of the teams involved.
  • b) As a general principle, the designation of ‘Home’ (host) and ‘Away’ (visitor) is determined by the governing body’s official fixture list, not by the order teams appear on the betting interface. Furthermore, bets on matches at neutral venues remain valid regardless of how the teams are positioned in the betting display or whether neutrality is explicitly stated. Home/Away designations will not affect bets in sports or events where venue doesn’t provide any material advantage, such as, but not limited to, Tennis, UFC events or MMA fights. Similarly, events held at pre-determined venues such as the NCAA Final Four or the Super Bowl are considered neutral even if one participant/team is playing at a location or venue deemed as a potential ‘Home’ pitch, such as, but not limited to, the Super Bowl being held in LA with the LA Rams being one of the participants.
• 32) Information referring to gender of the teams, age groups and youth teams, as well as various definitions of reserve teams (e.g. B and C teams), is to be treated as supplementary information. The inclusion (or lack of) and correctness of such information will not be treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers related to the match/event, given that this does not cause an obvious inconsistency in odds offered.
• 33) While all necessary precautions are taken by LiveScore Bet to assure the most faithful rendition of all components involved in a bet offer, it is to be assumed that certain denominations could be represented differently due to different interpretations deriving from adaptations into another language. Such linguistic incongruence will not be treated as sufficient cause for the voiding of the offers related to the match/event, given that it does not create uncertainty with other participants. The same applies for denominations referring to events, team names, sponsor names, etc.
• 34) In case of bets where there is reference to timeframes, they should be interpreted in the following way: “within the first 30 minutes” will include anything happening until 0 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will include anything happening from 10 minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and 59 seconds.
• 35) Unless listed either in conjunction with the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, bets referring to event/match duration which include non-full integer digits (E.g. 88.5 minutes or X.5 rounds) require the full completion of the full integer of the listed duration for them to be considered won. For example: a bet on Over/Under 88.5 minutes in a Tennis match will be settled as Over only if at least 89 full minutes are completed.
• 36) LiveScore Bet acknowledges that some bets might require the rounding-up of percentages, units or other criteria which are decisive for the settlement of the bet. Should that be the case, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to adjust and settle accordingly.
• 37) Any reference to goals scored by specific players will not count if they are defined as ‘own goals’ (scored in their own goals) unless otherwise stated.
• 38) Any reference to confederation, nationality or similar will be subject to the definition by the governing body.
• 39) Any medals won by a team/nation per competition will count as one (1) single medal regardless of the number of team members.
• 40) Offers referring to individual player performances' over a particular period/tournament (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of the season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most goals during the season), require all listed individuals to be an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
• 41) Offers on whether certain individuals will be occupying a specified position/title/job on a certain date (E.g. Minister X to still be Minister on date Y, Player/Coach to still be with Team Y on Date Z) refer to the individual in question to hold (or alternatively to be appointed in) the listed position uninterruptedly between the time the bet is placed and the specified deadline. Should the individual for any reason whatsoever leave the position before the specified deadline, the outcome of the bet will be considered as not having happened. This is valid even in cases where the individual is re-appointed/signed again in that same position/title/job and even if on the specified deadline the individual is occupying once more that same position/title/job to which the bet refers to. Settlements will also take into account players signed on loan deals.
• 42) Any bets referring to “breaking” of records require the listed occurrence to be fully accomplished. Equalling the record will not be considered as having fully accomplished the feat. Only the listed occurrence will count for settlement purposes.

1. Olympic and Championship events

• 1) All bets are valid provided that the event is held and decided during the championship and the year it refers to, regardless of any venue changes.
• 2) The previous clause is applicable to offers which reasonably fulfil any of the following criteria:
  • a) the bet refers to events scheduled for the final phase of events forming part of Olympic, World and Continental competitions.
  • b) the final phase of the event is time restricted.

2. American Football

• 1) All ‘match’ bets on American Football are determined on the basis of the result after the so called extra (over) time.
• 2) All ‘match’ offers will only be considered valid should there be less than 5 minutes of scheduled play left in the 4th Quarter/2nd Half, as applicable. Exception will be done for those the outcome of which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
• 3) In NCAA matches, should the playing time of any quarter(s) be shortened by mutual agreement of the opposing head coaches and referee, this will not serve as grounds to void any bets. All bet offers will be settled as normal based off of the official result at the end of the match.
• 4) Offers referring to individual player performances' in a single match (example: Total Passing Yards Thrown by Player X) or confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will throw most Passing Yards), require all listed individuals to participate in at least one more play in the match, after bet acceptance for bets to stand.
• 5) Unless specifically stated or implied in the offer characteristics, settlement of Season bets will be based as per the classifications, definitions and tie-breaking rules as per NFL.com, or the official website of the competition (as applicable).
• 6) Unless otherwise specified, a typical week/round schedule is considered as running from Thursday to the following Wednesday, as per local stadium time. Any events/offers not completed within the aforementioned timeframe will be settled as void, except for those offers the outcomes of which has already been decided and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome. Bets referring to events which have been rescheduled within the same week/round will remain valid as much as said events are played within timeframe above.
• 7) Matchday/Weekly props is where it is possible to bet on the performances and outcomes of a pre-defined selection of teams and/or individual players’ occurrences happening in a collection of matches/events on a specified week/round/day/match day (example: Total Points Scored in matches from a specific Conference, Highest/Lowest Scoring team, Player Yardage markets etc). All applicable matches/events (including any rescheduling to be played within the aforementioned timeframe), must be completed and validated for the specified week/round/day/matchday for bets to stand except for those the outcomes of which has been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome. In addition, offers referring to the performance of specified players require that all the specified players participate in at least one more play in the match, after bet acceptance for bets to stand.

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 batter 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.

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.

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. For in-play bets for all limited overs matches, any reduction in scheduled overs after the bet was struck will void bets unless the outcome of such offers is already decided before the interruption and no further play could possibly change the outcome of such bets.

• 7) Offers referring to individual player performances in a single match (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X) or confronting performances from 2 individual players during the course of a match (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most Goals), require all listed individuals to play from the start of the match for bets to stand.
• 8) Offers referring to individual player performances' (example: Total Goals Scored by Player X during the World Cup) or confronting performances from 2 individual players over a particular period/tournament/season (example: Which of Player X or Player Y will score most goals during the league), require that all listed individuals must be an active participant in at least one more fixture applicable for the offer after bet acceptance for bets to stand.

Unless otherwise stated, cumulative amounts of such bets will include eventual prolongations (e.g. Extra Time) but not Penalty Shoot Outs.
• 10) Unless specifically stated, all bets referring to a particular team winning a number/selection of trophies in the same season will be based on the particular team's performance within the following competitions: the domestic league, the apparent equivalent of the respective FA Cup and League Cup as well as the Champions League, Europa League, or Copa Libertadores. Other trophies (e.g. domestic and European Super Cup, Club World Cup, Europa Conference League) do not count.
• 11) The "Domestic Double" is to be considered as the team’s victory in the apparent equivalent of the respective domestic league and FA Cup.
• 12) For settlement purposes, bets referring to the number of cards shown by the referee will be counted as follows:
  • a) Yellow card = 1
  • b) Red card = 2
  • c) One yellow and a red = 3
  • d) Two yellow cards and a red = 3
  The maximum cards for one player is 3 cards. Only cards shown to players currently eligible as per C.14.5 will be taken into consideration.
• 13) Bets on whether a particular player(s) will manage to score from certain areas of the pitch (E.g. from outside the 'penalty box') will be settled based on the position of the ball at the time the shot was struck by the player, irrelevant of any further deflections which the ball trajectory might incur following the initial shot. For the sake of clarity, it is to be understood that the lines delineating the 'penalty box' are to be considered as an integral part of such area of the pitch. Thus, should a shot be struck with the ball hovering above, or touching, even partially, said lines, the shot will not be considered as having been outside the box.
• 14) Bets on whether a particular player(s) or team will manage to hit the cross bar, goal post or any other part of the frame delineating the goal area (i.e. the ‘Woodwork’) will only be settled as having accomplished such feat if the shot does not result directly in a goal being awarded exactly after the ball hits a part of the goal frame. Additionally, shots which hit the woodwork only as a result of a clear deflection off of a defending player will not be considered a successful occurrence. Settlement will only take into consideration shots aimed at the goal frame defended by the opponents of the listed player(s) team. Should a player have a shot which hits the post their team defends this will not be considered as having accomplished such feat.
• 15) During certain events LiveScore Bet might decide to offer for betting a reduced selection of participants (E.g. Any unlisted Team X player) or else a single participant as a representation of the whole squad (E.g. “Any Team X player”). In both cases for settlement purposes, all unlisted squad members are to be deemed as starters (and settled as such), including substitutes, regardless whether they take part in the match or not.
• 16) Bets on the performance of substitute players will be settled as void if the player is either listed in the starting XI or does not take part in the match at all.
• 17) On offers such as Next Goal scorer, Next Carded player, Next Assist and Man of the Match, bets will be voided should the chosen player not take part in the match at all or had no possibility to accomplish such feat during the specified timeframe.
• 18) Bets on “Player to give an assist” or “Next Assist” for a particular goal will be settled as void should the governing body declare the specified goal as having been unassisted, the specified goal is an own goal and/or no more goals are scored in the match during the specified timeframe.
• 19)
  • a) Bets referring to penalty kicks conversion and/or outcome will be settled according to the outcome occurred on the field of play as per the rules governing that specific scenario and in cases of penalty shoot-outs will remain valid regardless of the format employed by the governing body during the shoot-out. Bets stand in case the penalty is ordered to be re-taken and will be settled with the outcome achieved from the re-taken penalty.
  • b) As a general principle, settlement will be based on the concept that unless the penalty kick results in a goal being awarded (and settled accordingly), the first person/object/location (as applicable) which the ball initially touches after being kicked will be considered as the winning outcome, disregarding any other persons/objects the ball hits in its subsequent trajectory following any previous deflection, if any. The following examples are being issued as a general guideline on settlement:
    • i. "Goal" would be the winning outcome in case of the following scored penalties scenarios:
      • a. Any penalty kick which ends up as a goal without it being deflected.
      • b. Goalkeeper touches the penalty kick but ball ends up as goal.
      • c. Penalty kick touches the woodwork before ending up in goal.
    • ii. "Save" would be the winning outcome in case of the following missed penalties scenarios:
      • a. Goalkeeper deflects the penalty kick to outside the goal frame.
      • b. Goalkeeper deflects the penalty kick onto the post/crossbar.
    • iii. "Woodwork" would be the winning outcome in case of the following missed penalties scenarios:
      • a. Penalty kick hits the woodwork before it is touched/saved by the goalkeeper.
      • b. Penalty kick hits the woodwork and ball goes outside the goal frame.
    • iv. "Any other Miss" would be the winning outcome in case of any penalty kick which without any deflection either by the goalkeeper or by the woodwork ends up outside the goal frame.
  • c) Exception to the above scenarios would be in in case of penalty shoot-outs, should the ball hit the woodwork, bounce on the goalkeeper and end in goal, such penalty will be considered as having been scored while should said situation occur during any other part of the match which is not a penalty shoot-out, the penalty taker would be considered as having missed to score and "hitting the woodwork" will be considered as the winning outcome.
• 20)
  • a) Any decision taken by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) which conflicts with the original decision sanctioned by the officials on the pitch (including non-decisions like allowing play to continue before reviewing the video), thus altering the understood state of the match at the time of bet placement, will result in all bets placed in the timeframe between the actual occurrence of the original incident and the referee's final decision on the incident being deemed as void, unless the odds offered on the specific bet offer are unaffected by the use of VAR or have already been accounted for in the odds offered at the time of bet acceptance. Settlement on all other unrelated bet-offers, including those determined by any play between the time of the original incident and the decision following the VAR review, which are not influenced/altered by the VAR decision will stand.
  • b) For resulting purposes VAR reviews, and the decisions emanating from said reviews, are to be considered as having happened at the time of the original incident for which the VAR would be eventually used even if play has not been immediately interrupted. LiveScore Bet reserves the right, in accordance with <Section A, Para 6.2>, to reverse any previously settled offers where the settlement becomes inaccurate following the final referee decision, providing said decision is taken and communicated before the conclusion of the match and/or timeframe listed.
  • c) In order to avoid any doubts, LiveScore Bet will consider the VAR as having been used if it is understood from the referee's gestures (e.g. hand gestures, stopping the match to review the incident themselves), and/or the VAR usage is confirmed by the match report issued by the official organization. In cases where it is unclear whether the VAR has been used due to missing TV coverage and/or conflicting reports, LiveScore Bet will settle the bets based on the information acquired from feed providers and reputable online sources on the basis of equity.
• 21) For settlement purposes, markets referring to team to be shown the next Card (booking) and/or “Total Cards” will always consider a Red Card as 2 instances of a card being shown and will be settled accordingly. The following examples are being listed as a guideline:

  • b) First card shown in a match is a Yellow Card followed by a straight Red Card to the same player without a second yellow card being shown. The team to which the cards are awarded will be settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2 and #3.
  • c) First card shown in a match is a Yellow Card followed by a second Yellow Card with the subsequent Red Card to the same player. The team to which the cards are awarded will be settled as the winning selection for the offers: Cards #1, #2 and #3.
• 22) Markets referring to which specific player will be the next to be booked/receive a card are to be understood and settled as per the order of the instance in which each single player gets booked/sent off by the referee. The card colour shown by the referee will not be given any consideration in the settlement of this offer and the decisive criteria will always be the order in which the single player is considered to have gone into the referee’s book. For settlement purposes it is possible for a single player to be listed twice as the “Next Carded player” as much as both bookings occur during different interruptions of play. Should 2 or more players be booked during the same interruption of play, bets on this offer will be settled as void.
• 23) Any reference to “Free Kicks” both when presented as a single outcome, as well as an occurrence will also take into consideration instances awarded for offsides and any other violation except those sanctioned with a penalty.

• 12) Disqualification/withdrawals by a player before the "Cut" is made, will result in the player being considered as having missed the "Cut". Disqualification/withdrawals subsequent to the "Cut" being made will be irrelevant towards the original settlement of the "Make the Cut" offers.

  • c) Example 3 – A ‘Best of 5’ set match ends with Player A retiring with the score 6-2, 3-6, 1-4: Had Player A won all remaining games (should the match have continued without retirement), the score would have been 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0, making the margin 11 games. However, this is not the highest possible margin as the match could also have ended 6-2, 3-6, 6-7, 6-0, 6-0, making the margin 12 games.

  • a) "Match tie-break": Normally played instead of the decisive set when both participants have won the same number of sets. For settlement purposes, this is considered as a full set as well as a game and counted accordingly. However, it will not be considered as a tie-break for the settlement of the relevant offers.
  • b) "Tiebreak at 6-6 in a set, first to 7 points": For settlement purposes, this is considered to be 1 game and counted accordingly as well as a tie-break for the settlement of the relevant offers.

• 7) Offers combining a number of occurrences by a specific player/ team within a match/event , require that all connotations related to the bet offer must be fully and unquestionably complied with. Should one (1) or more parts of the offer end in a tie bets will be settled as LOST.
• 8) All offers that refer to a “{x}+checkout” will be settled as yes on occurrences of the checkout of {x} or more inclusive. For example, the offer “100+Checkout – Leg 1” will be settled as yes, if there is exactly a 100 checkout in Leg 1.

1. Horse Racing

1) General Horse Racing Rules

• a) All bets are governed by Tattersalls Rules of Betting as described on tattersallscommittee.co.uk. These rules will govern the settlement of bets should anything occur that is not covered by the rules within this section.
• b) The term 'past the post' pertains to the sequence in which horses concluded the race, occurring prior to the confirmation of the official result by the race day stewards.
• c) Unless specified otherwise, all bets will ultimately be resolved based on the officially confirmed result by the race day stewards, following the past the post result and any enquiries or objections have been ruled upon.
• d) In cases where the official result is confirmed but later revised, be it due to disqualification, an error, or any other reason, only the initial confirmation of the official result by the race stewards will be considered for settlement.
• e) When the race day stewards confirm a horse as a starter, the settlement of all bets will be resolved based on the official result, unless specified otherwise.
• f) If the race day stewards declare a horse is participating solely for purse money in a race, bets on that selection will be voided, and a Rule 4 deduction may be applied to bets on other horses in the race.
• g) Coupled horses will be considered as separate entities for betting purposes.
• h) Two pricing options are available: taking the odds at the time of placement, known as 'fixed odds' (“FO”), or choosing the 'starting price' (“SP”). SP odds are determined by the odds at the start of the race, provided to us by our data provider. In the absence of an SP return, the final odds available for betting will serve as a replacement. Tote or pari-mutuel dividends are not considered for SP purposes. Settlements for FO and SP bets may be subject to adjustments for Dead Heat and Rule 4 deductions. See Rule D.1.4.
• i) In the event of a race cancellation or postponement after the final field has been confirmed, all bets will be voided, with the exception of cases outlined in Rule D.1.1.a.
• j) In the case of the postponement of a major race or meeting, which will be judged at our discretion, we maintain the right to affirm that all bets made after the final declarations will remain valid provided that:
• k) Declarations remain closed to new entrants and,
• l) The venue is unchanged.
• m) In the event that a race is run on a surface other than the one initially scheduled, such as a switch from turf to dirt/all weather or vice versa, the bets will stand unless specific conditions specified in Rule D.1.1.a are met.
• n) If a false start or any other incident necessitates a race to be re-run, all bets will remain valid and settled based on the results of the re-run. Provided the re-run adheres to Rule D.1.1.a.
• o) A race is defined as a ’walkover’ when only one (1) horse takes part in the race. When this occurs, all bets will be voided, unless stated otherwise.
• p) In races where two or more horses begin the race but none successfully complete the course, all bets will be considered void unless stated otherwise.
• q) The 'unnamed favourite' (fav) and 'unnamed second favourite' (2fav) are assigned based on the following criteria:
  • i) The horse with the shortest ‘starting price’ (SP) odds is designated as the unnamed favourite.
  • ii) In cases where two or more horses share the shortest SP odds, the horse with the lowest race card number is considered the unnamed favourite.
  • iii) The horse with the second-shortest SP odds, or the second-lowest race card number in case of a tie with the unnamed favourite, is recognised as the unnamed second favourite.
  • iv) If a horse is withdrawn but is still associated with the unnamed favourite due to the absence of a new market, it will be excluded for settlement purposes.
• r) In races with reserves, Rule 4 deductions apply to all runners, except if a reserve fails to qualify for the race. If a reserve gains entry to the field due to withdrawals and is later withdrawn itself, Rule 4 deductions will still apply.

2) Double Result

• a) In the event that the race day stewards revise the past the post finishing order before the official result confirmation, settlement will reflect both the past the post finishing order and the official result, with exceptions noted in the following circumstances:
  • i) The race occurs outside of the UK, Ireland, and South Africa.
  • ii) Bets in the following markets: ante-post/future racing, forecast, tricast, each-way your way, to place, betting without, insure-bet/money-back, match bets, favourite specials, accumulator specials, jockey specials, trainer specials or any other special at our discretion.
  • iii) The horse and jockey completed the wrong course.
  • iv) The horse carried the wrong weight, or the jockey failed to ‘weigh in’.
  • v) Races declared void.
  • vi) A result error by the judge or data provider before the official result.

3) Ante-Post/Future Racing

• a) For a bet to be considered as an ‘ante-post’ or ‘future racing’ bet (AP), the bet must be placed prior to the confirmation of the final field.
• b) AP bets will be voided in the following circumstance:
  • i) If the conditions of the race entry are altered;
  • ii) If the venue is changed;
  • iii) If a horse is balloted out, meaning it is declared but fails to be accepted for a race that is oversubscribed;
  • iv) If a non-runner is declared in a market specifically tagged as ‘non-runner money back’ (NRMB).
• c) In the event of a race being re-run or postponed, all AP bets will remain valid, subject to the following conditions:
  • The race is run within 7 days of its originally scheduled date.
  • The conditions of the race remain unaltered.
  • The venue is unchanged
  • The entries for the race are not reopened.
• d) If a race is cancelled, declared void, or postponed without meeting the conditions outlined in Rule D.1.3.c all AP bets will be voided.
• e) In the event of a race not taking place as scheduled, we reserve the right to leave the AP market unsettled, pending further information on the rescheduling of the race within the timeframe specified by Rule D.1.3.c.
• f) Rule 4 deductions are not applicable to AP markets, but “Dead Heat” rule is applicable as detailed in <Section B, Para 5.14>.
• g) The each-way terms for AP markets shall be determined at the time of bet placement and shall remain unchanged, notwithstanding any fluctuations in the field size.

4) Rule 4/Non-runner deductions

A deduction is implemented to offset the impact of a horses withdrawal from a specific race. This adjustment acknowledges that with fewer horses in a race, the likelihood of each remaining horse winning increases.

• a) The Rule 4 deduction is calculated based on the odds of the withdrawn horse or horses at the moment they are scratched from our markets.
• b) A single or multiple deduction can be imposed on a bet, with the maximum deduction limited to 90%. A concession is made by exempting a 5% deduction.
• c) Rule 4 deductions are applicable to the ‘starting price’ (SP) of a horse when a withdrawal happens just before the race and there is inadequate time for a new market to be formed.
• d) Deductions for both win and each-way bets are based on the table below. For instance, if a bet is placed at decimal odds 13.0 (12/1) and there is a withdrawal of another runner at decimal odds 3.25 (9/4), a 30% deduction is applied. The recalculated decimal odds would then be 9.40. The deduction can be recalculated using the formula: (Odds minus 1) divided by 100, multiplied by (100 minus the deduction value), and then adding 1. In this example, the calculation would be (13.0 - 1) / 100 * 70 + 1 = 9.40.

Decimal odds	Fractional odds	Deduction
1.12 or lower	1/9 of lower	90%
1.13 – 1.19	1/8 – 2/11	85%
1.20 – 1.27	1/5 – 27/100	80%
1.28 – 1.33	7/25 – 33/100	75%
1.34 – 1.44	1/3 – 11/25	70%
1.45 – 1.57	4/9 – 11/20	65%
1.58 – 1.66	4/7 – 13/20	60%
1.67 – 1.83	4/6 – 41/50	55%
1.84 – 1.99	5/6 – 49/50	50%
2.00 – 2.24	Evens – 6/5	45%
2.25 – 2.59	5/4 – 31/20	40%
2.60 – 2.79	8/5 – 7/4	35%
2.80 – 3.39	9/5 – 47/20	30%
3.40 – 4.19	12/5 – 3/1	25%
4.20 – 5.49	16/5 – 22/5	20%
5.50 – 6.99	9/2 – 23/4	15%
7.00 – 10.99	6/1 – 19/2	10%
11.00 and higher	10/1 and higher	0%

• e) The aforementioned table encompass odds presented in both decimal and fractional formats. If the decimal options lack a corresponding fractional equivalent, we maintain the right to implement Rule 4 deductions based on the decimal table.

5) Exotic bet types

Exotic bets apply exclusively to named horses. If there is a non-runner in a combination exotic bet, the bets involving that non-runner will be voided, whilst other bets within the combination exotic bet will remain valid.

• a) Forecasts
  • Straight Forecast (SFC)
    A SFC allows you to bet on the finishing order of the first (1st) and second (2nd) placed horses in a race.
  • Reverse Forecast (RFC)
    A RFC enables you to bet on the outcome of the first (1st) and second (2nd) horses in a race, regardless of their finishing order. This bet can be viewed as two (2) separate SFC bets, one (1) on each outcome.
  • Combination Forecast (CFC)
    A CFC allows you to pick three (3) or more selections in a specific race. To win the bet, it is required that two (2) of the chosen horses finish in the first (1st) and second (2nd) positions, regardless of the order.
  • i) Forecasts are available in races with three (3) or more runners.
  • ii) Forecast bets are settled in accordance with the SFC dividend. Should for any reason a SFC dividend not be given, bets will be void.
• b) Tricast
  • Straight Tricast (STC)
    A STC is a bet on the exact finishing order of the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) placed horses in a race.
  • Combination Tricast (CTC)
    A CTC is a bet on the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) placed horses in a race, irrespective of the finishing order.
  • i) Tricasts are applicable in races where a STC dividend is declared and settled based on the STC dividend. In the absence of a declared STC dividend, the bets will be treated as a SFC on the selected options to finish first (1st) and second (2nd), with the third (3rd) position being disregarded.

6) Win, Each-way and Derivative Markets

• a) Dead Heat rules and Rule 4 deductions apply to all win, each-way and derivative markets.
  • i) Win
    A 'win' bet constitutes a single stake on the selected horse, and it will only be deemed successful if the chosen horse emerges as the winner of the race.
  • ii) Each-way
    An 'each-way' bet comprises two separate bets—a 'win' bet and a 'place' bet.
    • The standard terms for each-way bets, outlining the conditions for the place component of the each-way bet, are detailed below.
    • In cases where extra places are provided, the fraction may be altered from one quarter (1/4) to one fifth (1/5) at our discretion and may change after bet placement.
    • The terms for each-way betting are contingent on the actual number of runners, not the field size at the time of bet placement. In races where an extra place is offered, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to withdraw the additional place(s) at its own discretion. If the enhanced place terms are withdrawn, bets will be settled at the standard terms detailed below.
    • The following are the standard place terms for each-way betting.
      Handicap races:
      2-4 runners = Win only
      5-7 runners = 1/4 the odds 1, 2
      8-11 runners = 1/5 the odds 1, 2, 3
      12-15 runners = 1/4 the odds 1, 2, 3
      16 or more runners = 1/4 the odds 1, 2, 3, 4
      Non-handicap races:
      2-4 runners = Win only
      5-7 runners = 1/4 the odds 1, 2
      8 or more runners = 1/5 the odds 1, 2, 3
    • Each-way ‘doubles’, ‘trebles’, ‘accumulators’ are settled with the win part corresponding to all horses to win and the place part corresponding to all horses to place.
    • For instance, if placing a four-horse each-way accumulator, the win part of the each-way bet prevails only if all four horses secure victory. If three horses’ triumph and the fourth is placed, the win component of the each-way accumulator is deemed lost, while the place part of the each-way accumulator is acknowledged as a winner.
    • Place odds are determined by subtracting 1, representing the stake, from the decimal odds. This result is then divided by the fractional terms, with the addition of 1 completing the calculation. As an illustration, if a horse has odds of 5/1 in a race with fractional terms of one fifth (1/5), the calculated place odds, expressed as decimal odds, would be 2.0. In this example, the calculation would be (6.0 - 1) / 5 + 1 = 2.0.
    • In cases where non-runners decrease a field size from five or more to four or fewer, the each-way bet’s place part will be treated as a win-only bet, transforming the each-way bet from win-place to win-win.
  • iii) Each-way your way
    • As with any each-way market, the number of places are contingent on the actual number of runners, not the number of places at the time of bet placement.
    • When the field size decreases to a point where it reduces the standard each-way betting places, the number of places for ‘Each-way your way’ bets will also decrease. This means that places will be reduced when the field reduces from sixteen to fifteen (for handicap only), eight to seven, and five to four.
    • Bets will be declared void if the number of runners equals the number of places the bet is subject to, after deductions for a reduction in field size.
    • Bets are restricted to each-way singles only.
    • Rule 4 deductions are determined by the odds of the withdrawn horse in each corresponding market.
  • iv) To place
    • Once a ‘to place’ bet (not be confused with an each-way bet) is confirmed, the number of places will remain unchanged regardless of subsequent alterations in the field size. However, if the number of runners diminishes to equal or falls below the specified number of places, bets will be voided.
    • In the event of a non-runner, place bets on the remaining horses may incur a Rule 4 deduction based on the table below.
    • A single or multiple deductions can be applied to a bet, with the maximum deduction capped at 90%. A concession is made by exempting a 5% deduction.

    Decimal odds	Fractional odds	2 places	3 places	4 places
    1.12 or lower	1/9 of lower	45%	30%	20%
    1.13 – 1.19	1/8 – 2/11	40%	30%	20%
    1.20 – 1.27	1/5 – 27/100	40%	25%	20%
    1.28 – 1.33	7/25 – 33/100	35%	25%	20%
    1.34 – 1.44	1/3 – 11/25	35%	25%	15%
    1.45 – 1.57	4/9 – 11/20	30%	20%	15%
    1.58 – 1.66	4/7 – 13/20	30%	20%	15%
    1.67 – 1.83	4/6 – 41/50	25%	20%	15%
    1.84 – 1.99	5/6 – 49/50	25%	15%	10%
    2.00 – 2.24	Evens – 6/5	20%	15%	10%
    2.25 – 2.59	5/4 – 31/20	20%	15%	10%
    2.60 – 2.79	8/5 – 7/4	15%	10%	10%
    2.80 – 3.39	9/5 – 47/20	15%	10%	0%
    3.40 – 4.19	12/5 – 3/1	10%	10%	0%
    4.20 – 5.19	16/5 – 4/1	10%	0%	0%
    5.20 and higher	21/5 and higher	0%	0%	0%

    • The aforementioned table encompass odds presented in both decimal and fractional formats. If the decimal options lack a corresponding fractional equivalent, we retain the right to implement Rule 4 deductions based on the decimal table.
  • v) Betting without
    • Settlement does not consider the excluded horses in each corresponding 'betting without' market.
    • Each-way terms, as per Rule D.1.6.a.ii, are determined by the number of runners in each respective betting without market.
    • Rule 4 deductions are determined by the odds of the withdrawn horse in each corresponding betting without market.
    • In the event of a non-runner leaving only one (1) quoted horse in a betting without market, or if there are no finishers in a race excluding the betting without horses, all bets will be declared void.
  • vi) Insure-bet/money-back
    A bet on the horse to win the race, but if the horse finishes second (2nd) or third (3rd), depending on the market, the stake is returned.
    • If a race is reduced to four (4) or fewer runners, all bets will be void.

7) Distance Markets

• a) The settlement of all distance bets will be based on the 'past the post' distances between the first (1st) and second (2nd) placed finishers, provided that the respective horses and jockeys completed the correct course and carried the correct weight. If a horse is disqualified for the specified reasons, it will be disregarded for settlement purposes.
• b) The distances supplied by our data providers will be utilised for settlement purposes.
• c) If the winning margin is less than one length, the following numerical values will be applicable.
  • Dead Heat (dh) = 0 lengths
  • Nose (nse) = 0.05 of a length
  • Short head (shd) = 0.1 of a length
  • Head (hd) = 0.2 of a length
  • Neck (nk) = 0.3 of a length
  • Half a length (1/2) = 0.5 of a length
  • Three quarters (3/4) = 0.75 of a length
• d) The maximum amount of ‘lengths’ in each race is twelve (12) lengths for Flat Racing and thirty (30) lengths for National Hunt Racing. In the event of one (1) finisher the maximum distance will be used for settlement.
  • i) Meeting winning distance
    A bet on the total winning distances at a specific meeting.
    • Arab races and charity races will be excluded for settlement, unless stated otherwise.
    • In the case of a 'walkover' or if no official result is declared (e.g., all horses fail to compete), the following lengths will be added to the total: five (5) lengths for Flat Racing and twelve (12) lengths for National Hunt Racing, including National Hunt Flat races.
    • If a meeting involves one (1) or more races that are cancelled, postponed, or declared void, all bets on that meeting will be void. However, bets that have already been decided before the race is cancelled, postponed, or declared void, with no other outcome possible, will be settled according to the determined result.
  • ii) Race winning distance
    A bet on the winning distance in a specific race.
    • In the case of a 'walkover' or if no official result is declared (e.g., all horses fail to compete), all bets will be void.
  • iii) Winning distance of listed horse
    A bet on the horse to win the race by a specific distance.
    • If a 'walkover' occurs, all bets on this market will be declared void.
  • iv) Handicap special
    • Each horse is allocated a handicap in lengths. The market winner is identified as the competitor who, when the handicap is considered alongside the race outcome, would have outperformed all other contenders.
    • Dead Heat rules and Rule 4 deductions may apply.

8) Specials

• a) Walkovers, Arab races, and charity races will be excluded from settlement for all special markets, unless stated otherwise.
• b) In instances where the term 'place' is referenced in the bet-offer, bets shall be settled in accordance with the standard each-way betting terms and shall not be subject to any additional places. Furthermore, such bets shall be subject to the same rules and provisions governing non-runners, as set forth in Rule D.1.6.a.ii, unless specific alternative terms are stipulated.
  • i) Match bets
    • The horse achieving the highest finishing position among those listed in the market will be settled as the winner.
    • Dead Heat rules may apply.
    • In the event that none of the listed horses complete the race, all bets on the market will be void.
    • If at least one (1) of the listed horses is a non-runner, all bets will be void.
  • ii) Favourite specials
    A bet on a designated number of favourites, with options for either 'win' or 'place' at a listed meeting. For the purposes of settling bets on ‘favourite specials’, the definition of a favourite as provided in Rule D.1.1.n shall be modified as follows:
    • In the event of joint or co-favourites, all such horses shall be considered the ‘favourite’ for settlement purposes.
    • In the event of one (1) or more races not taking place, for whatever reason, bets for that meeting will be void. However, bets decided before the race disruption will be settled according to the determined outcome, as no other result would be possible in those cases.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.
  • iii) Accumulator specials
    A bet placed on the named horses to either ‘win’ or ‘place’ in the listed races, as applicable.
    • In case of any listed horses not running, for whatever reason, all bets will be voided, except where ante-post rules apply to any listed horses.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.
  • iv) Jockey specials
    A bet placed on the named jockey to either ‘win’ or ‘place’, as applicable, on booked rides at a specified meeting.
    • If the jockey does not ride at the specified meeting, all bets will be void.
    • If a jockey misses one (1) or more of their booked rides for whatever reason, possible outcomes will be honoured, and those that could not be determined will be voided.
    • Jockey specials will exclusively consider a jockey's booked rides. Any additional rides acquired by a jockey during a meeting will not be taken into account for settlement purposes.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.
  • v) Trainer specials
    A bet on the named trainer to either 'win' or 'place,' as applicable, with horses under their training license at a specified meeting.

• d) Two pricing options are available: taking the odds at the time of placement, known as 'fixed odds' (FO), or choosing the 'starting price' (SP). SP odds are determined by the odds at the start of the race, provided to us by our data provider. In the absence of an SP return, the final odds available for betting will serve as a replacement. If no FO or SP odds are available for a race from our data provider, all bets will be void. Tote or pari-mutuel dividends are not considered for SP purposes. Settlements for FO and SP bets may be subject to adjustments for Dead Heats or Rule 4 deductions. See Rule D2.3.
• e) In the event of a race cancellation or postponement after the final field has been confirmed, all bets will be voided, with the exception of cases outlined in of Rule D.2.1.g.
• f) In the case of the postponement of a major race or meeting, which will be judged at our discretion, we maintain the right to affirm that all bets made after the confirmation of the final field will remain valid provided that:
  • i) The final field remains closed to new entrants and,
  • ii) The venue is unchanged.
• g) In the event of a 'no race' being declared, or any other incident requiring a race to be re-run on the same scheduled day, all bets will remain valid and settled according to the results of the re-run. If no re-run takes place on the same day, all bets will be void.
• h) The 'unnamed favourite' (fav) and 'unnamed second favourite' (2fav) are assigned based on the following criteria:
  • a) The greyhound with the shortest ‘starting price’ (SP) odds is designated as the unnamed favourite.
  • b) In cases where two or more greyhounds share the shortest SP odds, the greyhound with the lowest trap number is considered the unnamed favourite.
  • c) The greyhound with the second-shortest SP odds, or the second-lowest trap number in case of a tie with the unnamed favourite, is recognised as the unnamed second favourite.
  • d) If a greyhound is withdrawn but is still associated with the unnamed favourite due to the absence of a new market, it will be excluded for settlement purposes.

2) Ante-Post/Future Racing

• a) For a bet to be considered as an ‘ante-post’ or ‘future racing’ bet (AP), the bet must be placed prior to the confirmation of the final field.
• b) AP bets will be voided in the following circumstances:
• c) If the venue is changed.
• d) If a non-runner is declared in a market specifically tagged as ‘non-runner money back’ (NRMB).
• e) In the event of a race being re-run or postponed, all AP bets will remain valid, subject to the following conditions:
• f) The race is run within 7 days of its originally scheduled date.
• g) The conditions of the race remain unaltered.
• h) The venue is unchanged
• i) The entries for the race are not reopened.
• j) If a race is cancelled, declared void, or postponed without meeting the conditions outlined in Rule D.2.2.c, all AP bets will be voided.
• k) In the event of a race not taking place as scheduled, we reserve the right to leave the AP market unsettled, pending further information on the rescheduling of the race within the timeframe specified by Rule D.2.2.c.
• l) Rule 4 deductions are not applicable to AP markets, but “Dead Heat” rules are applicable as detailed in <Section B, Para 5.14>.
• m) The each-way terms for AP markets shall be determined at the time of bet placement and shall remain unchanged, notwithstanding any fluctuations in the field size

3) Rule 4/Non-runner deductions

A deduction is implemented to offset the impact of a greyhound withdrawal from a specific race.

• a) The Rule 4 deduction is calculated based on the odds of the withdrawn greyhound or greyhounds at the moment they are scratched from our markets.
• b) A single or multiple deduction can be imposed on a bet, with the maximum deduction limited to 90%. A concession is made by exempting a 5% deduction.
• c) Rule 4 deductions are applicable to the ‘starting price’ (SP) of a greyhound when a withdrawal happens just before the race and there is inadequate time for a new market to be formed.
• d) Deductions for both win and each-way bets are based on the table below. For instance, if a bet is placed at decimal odds 13.0 (12/1) and there is a withdrawal of another runner at decimal odds 3.25 (9/4), a 30% deduction is applied. The recalculated decimal odds would then be 9.40. The deduction can be recalculated using the formula: (Odds minus 1) divided by 100, multiplied by (100 minus the deduction value), and then adding 1. In this example, the calculation would be (13.0 - 1) / 100 * 70 + 1 = 9.40.

Decimal odds	Fractional odds	Deductions
1.12 or lower	1/9 of lower	90%
1.13 – 1.19	1/8 – 2/11	85%
1.20 – 1.27	1/5 – 27/100	80%
1.28 – 1.33	7/25 – 33/100	75%
1.34 – 1.44	1/3 – 11/25	70%
1.45 – 1.57	4/9 – 11/20	65%
1.58 – 1.66	4/7 – 13/20	60%
1.67 – 1.83	4/6 – 41/50	55%
1.84 – 1.99	5/6 – 49/50	50%
2.00 – 2.24	Evens – 6/5	45%
2.25 – 2.59	5/4 – 31/20	40%
2.60 – 2.79	8/5 – 7/4	35%
2.80 – 3.39	9/5 – 47/20	30%
3.40 – 4.19	12/5 – 3/1	25%
4.20 – 5.49	16/5 – 22/5	20%
5.50 – 6.99	9/2 – 23/4	15%
7.00 – 10.99	6/1 – 19/2	10%
11.00 and higher	10/1 and higher	0%

• e) The aforementioned table encompass odds presented in both decimal and fractional formats. If the decimal options lack a corresponding fractional equivalent, we maintain the right to implement Rule 4 deductions based on the decimal table.

4) Exotic bet types

Exotic bets apply exclusively to named greyhounds. If there is a non-runner in a combination exotic bet, the bets involving that non-runner will be voided, whilst other bets within the combination exotic bet will remain valid.

• a) Forecasts
  • Straight Forecast (SFC)
    A SFC allows you to bet on the finishing order of the first (1st) and second (2nd) placed greyhounds in a race.
  • Reverse Forecast (RFC)
    A RFC enables you to bet on the outcome of the first (1st) and second (2nd) greyhounds in a race, regardless of their finishing order. This bet can be viewed as two (2) separate SFC bets, one (1) on each outcome.
  • Combination Forecast (CFC)
    A CFC allows you to pick three (3) or more selections in a specific race. To win the bet, it is required that two (2) of the chosen greyhounds’ finish in the first (1st) and second (2nd) positions, regardless of the order.
  • i) Forecasts are available in races with three (3) or more runners.
  • ii) Forecast bets are settled in accordance with the SFC dividend. Should for any reason a SFC dividend not be given, bets will be void.
• b) Tricast
  • Straight Tricast (STC)
    A STC is a bet on the exact finishing order of the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) placed greyhounds in a race.
  • Combination Tricast (CTC)
    A CTC is a bet on the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) placed greyhounds in a race, irrespective of the finishing order.
  • i) Tricasts are applicable in races where a STC dividend is declared and settled based on the STC dividend. In the absence of a declared STC dividend, the bets will be treated as a SFC on the selected options to finish first (1st) and second (2nd), with the third (3rd) position being disregarded.

5) Win, Each-way and Derivative markets

• a) Dead Heat rules and Rule 4 deductions apply to all win, each-way and derivative markets.
  • i) Win
    • A 'win' bet constitutes a single stake on the selected greyhound, and it will only be deemed successful if the chosen greyhound emerges as the winner of the race.
  • ii) Each-way
    An 'each-way' bet comprises two separate bets—a 'win' bet and a 'place' bet. All each-way bets are ineligible for cash-out.
    • The standard terms for each-way bets, outlining the conditions for the place component of the each-way bet, are detailed below.
    • In cases where extra places are provided, the fraction may be altered from one quarter (1/4) to one fifth (1/5) at our discretion.
    • The terms for each-way betting are contingent on the actual number of runners, not the field size at the time of bet placement. In races where an extra place is offered, LiveScore Bet reserves the right to withdraw the additional place (s) at its discretion. If the enhanced place terms are withdrawn, bets will be settled at the standard terms detailed below.
    • The following are the standard place terms for each-way betting.
      2-4 runners = Win only
      5-7 runners = 1/4 the odds 1, 2
      8-11 runners = 1/5 the odds 1, 2, 3
    • Each-way ‘doubles’, ‘trebles’, ‘accumulators’ are settled with the win part corresponding to all greyhounds to win and the place part corresponding to all greyhounds to place.
    • For instance, if placing a four-greyhound each-way accumulator, the win part of the each-way bet prevails only if all four greyhounds secure victory. If three greyhounds’ triumph and the fourth is placed, the win component of the each-way accumulator is deemed lost, while the place part of the each-way accumulator is acknowledged as a winner.
    • Place odds are determined by subtracting 1, representing the stake, from the decimal odds. This result is then divided by the fractional terms, with the addition of 1 completing the calculation. As an illustration, if a greyhound has odds of 5/1 in a race with fractional terms of one quarter (1/4), the calculated place odds, expressed as decimal odds, would be 2.25. In this example, the calculation would be (6.0 - 1) / 4 + 1 = 2.25.
    • In cases where non-runners decrease a field size from five or more to four or fewer, the each-way bet's place part will be treated as a win-only bet, transforming the each-way bet from win-place to win-win.
  • iii) Each-way your way
    • As with any each-way market, the number of places are contingent on the actual number of runners, not the number of places at the time of bet placement.
    • When the field size decreases to a point where it reduces the standard each-way betting places, the number of places for ‘Each-way your way’ bets will also decrease. This means that places will be reduced when the field reduces from eight to seven, and five to four.
    • Bets will be declared void if the number of runners equals the number of places the bet is subject to, after deductions for a reduction in field size.
    • Bets are restricted to each-way singles only.
    • Rule 4 deductions are determined by the odds of the withdrawn horse in each corresponding market.
  • iv) To place
    • Once a ‘to place’ bet (not be confused with an each-way bet) is confirmed, the number of places will remain unchanged regardless of subsequent alterations in the field size. However, if the number of runners diminishes to equal or fall below the specified number of places, bets will be voided.
    • In the event of a non-runner, place bets on the remaining greyhounds may incur a Rule 4 deduction based on the table below.
    • A single or multiple deductions can be applied to a bet, with the maximum deduction capped at 90%. A concession is made by exempting a 5% deduction.

    Decimal odds	Fractional odds	2 places	3 places
    1.12 or lower	1/9 of lower	45%	30%
    1.13 – 1.19	1/8 – 2/11	40%	30%
    1.20 – 1.27	1/5 – 27/100	40%	25%
    1.28 – 1.33	7/25 – 33/100	35%	25%
    1.34 – 1.44	1/3 – 11/25	35%	25%
    1.45 – 1.57	4/9 – 11/20	30%	20%
    1.58 – 1.66	4/7 – 13/20	30%	20%
    1.67 – 1.83	4/6 – 41/50	25%	20%
    1.84 – 1.99	5/6 – 49/50	25%	15%
    2.00 – 2.24	Evens – 6/5	20%	15%
    2.25 – 2.59	5/4 – 31/20	20%	15%
    2.60 – 2.79	8/5 – 7/4	15%	10%
    2.80 – 3.39	9/5 – 47/20	15%	10%
    3.40 – 4.19	12/5 – 3/1	10%	10%
    4.20 – 5.19	16/5 – 4/1	10%	0%
    5.20 and higher	21/5 and higher	0%	0%

    • The aforementioned table encompass odds presented in both decimal and fractional formats. If the decimal options lack a corresponding fractional equivalent, we retain the right to implement Rule 4 deductions based on the decimal table.
  • v) Betting without
    • Settlement does not consider the excluded greyhounds in each corresponding 'betting without' market.
    • Each-way terms, as per Rule D2..5.a.ii, are determined by the number of runners in each respective betting without market.
    • Rule 4 deductions are determined by the odds of the withdrawn greyhounds in each corresponding betting without market.
    • In the event of a non-runner leaving only one (1) quoted greyhound in a betting without market, or if there are no finishers in a race excluding the betting without greyhounds, all bets will be declared void.
  • vi) Insure-bet/money-back
    A bet on the greyhound to win the race, but if the greyhound finishes second (2nd) or third (3rd), depending on the market, the stake is returned.
    • If a race is reduced to four (4) or fewer runners, all bets will be void.

6) Distance markets

• a) The settlement of all distance bets will be based on the 'past the post' distances between the first (1st) and second (2nd) placed finishers, provided that the respective greyhounds completed the correct course. If a greyhound is disqualified for the specified reason, it will be disregarded for settlement purposes.
• b) The distances supplied by our data providers will be utilised for settlement purposes.
• c) If the winning margin is less than one length, the following numerical values will be applicable.
  • Dead Heat (dh) = 0 lengths
  • Nose (nse) = 0.05 of a length
  • Short head (shd) = 0.1 of a length
  • Head (hd) = 0.2 of a length
  • Neck (nk) = 0.3 of a length
  • Half a length (1/2) = 0.5 of a length
  • Three quarters (3/4) = 0.75 of a length
• d) The maximum amount of ‘lengths’ in each race is twelve (12) lengths. In the event of one (1) finisher the maximum distance will be used for settlement.
  • i) Meeting winning distance
    A bet on the total winning distances at a specific meeting and/or a specified number of races.
    • When referring to specific races, only those races will be taken into account for settlement purposes. The race times indicate the scheduled start times and will remain relevant regardless of any delays.
    • In the case of a race being cancelled, postponed, or declared void, two (2) lengths will be awarded.
    • If a meeting comprises three (3) or more races, that are listed in the respective bet offer, and those races are cancelled, postponed, or declared void, all bets on that meeting will be voided. However, bets that have already been decided before the races are cancelled, postponed, or declared void, with no other outcome possible, will be settled according to the determined result.
    • Unless specified, should a track hold more than one (1) meeting on the same day, the bet-offer will refer for the next meeting to be ran after the bet is accepted.
  • ii) Race winning distance
    A bet on the winning distance in a specific race.
    • If no official result is declared, all bets on this market will be declared void.
  • iii) Winning distance
    A bet on the greyhound to win the race by a specific distance.
    • If no official result is declared, all bets on this market will be declared void.

7) Specials

• a) In instances where the term 'place' is referenced in the bet-offer, bets shall be settled in accordance with the standard each-way betting terms and shall not be subject to any additional places. Furthermore, such bets shall be subject to the same rules and provisions governing non-runners as set forth in Rule D.2.5.a.ii, unless specific alternative terms are stipulated.
• b)
  • i) Match bets
    • The greyhound achieving the highest finishing position among those listed in the market will be settled as the winner.
    • In the event that none of the listed greyhounds complete the race, all bets on the market will be void.
    • If at least one (1) of the listed greyhounds is a non-runner, all bets will be void.
  • ii) Trap Challenge
    A bet on which trap will have the most winners at a listed meeting and/or a specified number of races.
    • All bets remain valid regardless of vacant traps, reserves, or cancelled, postponed or void races, provided that at least half of the specified races are finished with an official outcome. If this criterion isn't met, all bets will be voided.
    • In combined trap challenge bet-offers, if one of the combined meetings is cancelled, postponed or fails to meet the minimum required number of races, bets will be declared void.
    • When referring to specific races, only those races will be taken into account for settlement purposes. The race times indicate the scheduled start time and will remain relevant regardless of any delays.
    • In the event of Dead Heat winners in a race, each trap will share a point. Therefore, if there are two Dead Heat winners of a race they will each be awarded half-a-point.
    • If the outcome of the trap challenge market leads to multiple winners, Dead Heat rules will be applied.
  • iii) Favourite specials
    A bet on a designated number of favourites, with options for either 'win' or 'place' at a listed meeting. For the purposes of settling bets on ‘favourite specials’, the definition of a 'favourite' as provided in Rule D.2.1.i shall be modified as follows:
    • In the event of joint or co-favourites, all such greyhounds shall be considered for settlement purposes;
    • In the event of one (1) or more races not taking place, for whatever reason, bets for that meeting will be void. However, bets decided before the race disruption will be settled according to the determined outcome as no other result would be possible in those cases;
    • Unless specified, should a track hold more than one (1) meeting on the same day, the bet-offer will refer for the next meeting to be ran after the bet is accepted.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.
  • iv) Accumulator specials
    A bet placed on the named greyhounds to either ‘win’ or ‘place’ in the listed races, as applicable.
    • In case of any listed greyhounds being not running, for whatever reason, all bets will be voided, except where ante-post rules apply to any listed greyhounds.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.
  • v) Trainer specials
    A bet on the named trainer to either 'win' or 'place,' as applicable, with greyhounds under their training license at a specified meeting.
    • If the trainer does not have any runners at the specified meeting, bets will be void.
    • If a trainer is no longer represented in one (1) or more races due to non-runners, cancelled, postponed, or void races, possible outcomes will be honoured, while those that could not be determined will be void.
    • Unless specified, should a track hold more than one (1) meeting on the same day, the bet-offer will refer for the next meeting to be ran after the bet is accepted.
    • Dead Heat winners will be considered as outright winners for settlement purposes.

Section 1 - Conditions of agreement

A. Introduction

• 1) LiveScore Bet reserves the right to include and treat as eSports, offers on events related to games/genres not listed in the subsequent rules which reasonably fit the said description. Previous or future iterations of games/genre forming part of the same series, will be treated as per the rules related to that particular game/genre as present in these Terms and Conditions, regardless of any different numbering and/or denomination. Should it be the case that a game, genre, event and/or offer related to it is not specifically listed in these Terms and Conditions, settlement of such offers will be based on the general principles established in the Terms and Conditions.
• 2) When placing a bet with LiveScore Bet, the Account Holder is agreeing that they have read, understood and will be adhering to the Terms and Conditions present in this section as well as the other Terms and Conditions governing the usage of LiveScore Bet’s website.
• 3) Unless specifically stated in this section, the rules present in LiveScore Bet’s General Terms and Conditions apply. In the event of ambiguity, priority will be set in the following order:
  • i. Rules and conditions published in conjunction with an offer and/or campaign;
  • ii. eSports Game-specific rules (if applicable);
  • iii. eSports Genre-specific rules;
  • iv. eSports General Result Settlement rules;
  • v. LiveScore Bet’s General Terms and Conditions.
• 4) Should none of the above provide an adequate resolution, LiveScore Bet reserves the right, according to its own discretion, to settle offers on an individual basis on the basis of equity, attaining itself to generally accepted betting norms, customs and definitions.

B. General Result Settlement rules

• 1) When settling results LiveScore Bet will do its utmost to attain itself to information obtained first hand (during or exactly after the event has been concluded) from the organizing association through the game broadcast and any relevant counters it might display, the game API and the official website. Should this information be conflictual, disputed and or omitted from first hand viewing as well as official sources and/or there is an obvious error in the information included in the sources above, the settlement of the bet offer will be based on other public sources.
• 2) Settlement of bets will not include any changes deriving from and/or attributable to, but not limited to: disqualifications, penalisations, protests, sub-judice results and/or successive changes to the official result after the event has been completed and a result has been announced, even preliminarily. For bets referring to competitions which span over more than 1 round/stage (E.g.: Tournament Bets), only amendments effecting bets which settlement has not been decided yet will be taken into consideration. The following example is being provided as a general guideline of how such bets would be treated in case of comparable situations: A bet on a team to reach the semi-finals of a tournament will be considered as having been attained once the organizing association deems it as such, even if the same team is disqualified from the tournament at a later stage for any reason whatsoever.
• 3) Whilst all systematic precautions have been put in place in order to represent the most faithful rendition of the event as scheduled by the governing association, any reference to the order in which the participants are shown, venues, etc, is to be deemed for information purposes only. Switching of home/away participants as well as previously announced venues, will not be deemed as valid grounds for cancellation of bets placed.
• 4) Before or during an event/match, LiveScore Bet may decide to show current and past scores, counters and other statistics related to the offer. It is to be understood that LiveScore Bet provides such data for information purposes only and does not acknowledge or accept any liability whatsoever for the accuracy of such data. All data presented in this regard must be treated as unofficial and any inaccuracy will not be deemed as valid grounds for the cancellation of bets placed.
• 5) Should the name of any participant/event/game be misspelled and/or has changed, bets will remain valid granted that it is reasonably clear and can be ascertained through reputable sources, that the object that the bet has been placed upon, is the same as the participant/event/game intended.
• 6) The deadline (cut-off time) shown on the website is to be treated for information purposes only. LiveScore Bet reserves the right, at its own discretion, to suspend, partially or completely, the betting activity at any time where it deems necessary.
• 7) LiveScore Bet reserves the right, solely at its own discretion, to void bets should any of the following situations arise:
  • i. LiveScore Bet experience lags in receiving data/image streams from any of its sources/providers resulting in LiveScore Bet presenting odds not reflecting the current state of the bet;
  • ii. it is reasonably obvious that bets have been placed from accounts which have access to data/image streams not available at that time to LiveScore Bet;
  • iii. bets have been placed after any participant has gained an advantage enough to alter the odds of any offer, even just theoretically, without said odds having been adjusted to reflect the current state of the bet.
• 8) Should a match start at a different time than that listed on the website this will not be deemed as valid grounds for cancellation of the bets, granted that the exact same match is the next match taking place for both teams within the same tournament and is valid for the round/stage initially intended for.
• 9) Unless specifically stated, if the organising association includes any necessary extra rounds/overtime, qualifying match/es or series of matches in order to determine any classification and/or match outcome, LiveScore Bet will take into account the results and outcomes deriving from the added matches/rounds/overtime for settlement purposes of bets referring to said match/classification.
• 10) All bet offers related to matches, or parts thereof, which do not take place at all or are awarded a result through a walk-over decision will be declared void. For settlement purposes action within a match (or part thereof) is considered to have occurred as to either when the game clock has started or whenever a participant performs an in-game action related to the match (or part thereof), whichever happens first.
• 11) Offers related to matches/or parts thereof which get abandoned for whatever reason and no result is declared by the official organization within 12 hours from the actual match start, will have the stakes refunded on those bet offers whose result has not yet been determined. All bet offers that have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, will be settled according to the decided outcome.
• 12) For all Match odds, Series Outcome and Team to go Through offers, the first official decision on the outcome of the offer issued by the governing association within 12 hours of match completion/abandonment will be the deciding factor for the settlement of bets, including but not limited to any decisions involving disqualifications, withdrawals, concessions, etc., which will be taken into account for settlement purposes. In cases where the offer ends in a drawn outcome, with said outcome not having been available as a possible outcome for betting purposes, stakes will be refunded.
• 13) Should it be decided that an abandoned fixture (or part thereof) is to be continued within 12 hours of the original start time, all bets placed on the initial match will stand and will be settled through the outcomes deriving from the continued play.
• 14) Should it be decided that an abandoned fixture (or part thereof) is restarted from the beginning within 12 hours of the original start time, all bets placed on the initial match which could not be settled through the outcomes deriving from the play prior to abandonment, will be declared void.
• 15) Unless otherwise stated either in the Game-Specific rules or in conjunction with the bet offer, specific events forming part of tournaments/competitions which are not held, get postponed and/or rescheduled for a time/date longer than 12 hours from the last scheduled time issued by the governing body due to schedule conflicts, technical issues or similar scenarios will be declared void, with the following exceptions where bets will remain valid:
  1. a. Events which starting times have not been officially confirmed yet by the governing body at time of bet placement;
  2. b. Events which are moved due to scheduling conflicts but remain scheduled to be played within the same game day/game week/round (as applicable) and the movement does not change the order of official fixtures for any of the participants in the offer;
  3. c. Events which start times are anticipated (brought forward) but remain scheduled to be played within the same game day/game week/round (as applicable) and, without prejudice to past-posting and similar occurrences as defined in <Section A, Para 5.4>, the change does not modify the order of official fixtures for any of the participants in the offer.
• 16) Should it be the case that either participant is involved in a match from the same tournament with a different opponent between the time of the abandonment and the continuation of the initial match, all pending bets on the initial match, will be settled as void regardless of the outcomes obtained during the continuation of the match.
• 17) Offers referring to Tournament outcomes and or matches/events scheduled over a 2 or more days-span, will remain valid granted that said event is considered completed and an official result is announced by the official organization within the specified year, regardless of the current/future participation (or lack thereof) of any listed and/or previously announced participant, unless otherwise stated.
• 18) In cases of matches which have not been completed before their natural conclusion, and when a result is issued through a decision by the association not more than 36 hours from the actual event’s start without play having continued following the abandonment, LiveScore Bet will use the issued decision as the official result for the offers detailing the outcome of the match and/or tournament progress (E.g. Match odds and Participant to reach next round) granted that the issued decision does not change the outcome of the said bet offers at the time of the abandonment. In that case the stakes will be refunded. (E.g. Team A leading 2 Maps to nil in a best of 5 Maps match and Team B concedes: Association declares Team A as winner of the match = bet stands. Meanwhile if the same best of 5 Maps match was abandoned with the score 1-1 and the Association declares either team as the winner, the bet will be considered as void). All other offers will be declared void except for those the outcomes of which have been decided prior to the abandonment and could not possibly be changed regardless of future events, which will be settled according to the decided outcome.
• 19) Settlement of bet offers linked to counters (E.g. Total Kills) and any other offers related to specific terminology will be decided according to the definition with which the official governing body issues said statistics. Unless backed by un-contradictory evidence, LiveScore Bet will not acknowledge any complaints which derive from a personal interpretation of such terms.
• 20) When placing "Outright" or "Place" bets, stakes will be refunded on participants/outcomes that are not participating or withdraw from an event prior to the beginning of the entire event (including qualifying events), unless otherwise stated.
• 21) Offers referring to a single participant’s performance in a specific event/timeframe (such as Tournament Progress of Team X) require the listed participant to play an active part at least once in a subsequent stage of the applicable event/timeframe after the bet has been placed and/or accepted.
• 22) No refunds of bets will apply, even if the winning outcome of a match/event is a participant/outcome that has not been listed for betting purposes. On all bet offers the account holder has the possibility to ask for a price on a non-listed participant/outcome. LiveScore Bet reserves the right, at its own discretion, to decline such requests.
• 23) Offers which confront against each other the performances of two or more participants over a specified timeframe/competition will only be settled based on the result of the listed participants, disregarding all other participants in the same competition/event.
• 24) In case a participant is disqualified/withheld/banned from taking part in a subsequent part/phase of an event/competition for any reason whatsoever, as well as in case of voluntary withdrawals, the disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the time of the official announcement. No alterations will be made to previous results, regardless of any modifications due to said actions.
• 25) In an "Outright" or "Place" bet, should two or more participants be considered to have obtained the same result and the organising association does not distinguish in their classification the “Dead Heat rule” as specified in LiveScore Bet’s Sportsbook General Terms and Conditions <Section B, Para 5.14> applies.
• 26) LiveScore Bet will refund stakes on offers comparing the achievements/performances of two participants within a specified timeframe (E.g. Tournament Best Finishing Position, Match Winner, Winner of Map X] should any of the following circumstances apply:
  • i. No odds were offered on a ‘draw’ outcome and no tie-breaking procedures/overtime/extra rounds are used by the organizing association to result a match/offer or classify participants that obtained the same result;
  • ii. Any of the listed participants does not play any further part in any subsequent stage of the related event/part thereof after the bet has been placed and/or accepted;
  • iii. None of the listed participants is included in the applicable classification;
  • iv. None of the listed participants is deemed to have achieved the specified requirement after the bet has been placed and/or accepted and no odds for such outcome has been offered.
• 27) Offers comparing the achievements/performances of three participants will be treated as detailed in above clause, with the exception that should two or more participants share the applicable finishing position the “Dead Heat rule” as specified in LiveScore Bet’s Sportsbook General Terms and Conditions <Section B, Para 5.14> applies.
• 28) “Outright” and “Place” bets rules apply on offers comparing the achievements/performances of four or more participants, with the exception of those offers specifically listed as “Group Betting”. In such cases, stakes will be refunded should at least one of the listed participants not be actively involved anymore for whatever reason after the bet has been placed and/or accepted.
• 29) Unless the outcome of the offer has already been determined before any change is announced, bets referring to a race to a particular happening/totals of a particular occurrence (E.g. First participant to win X rounds, Over/Under Maps played) or the margins/difference of completed occurrence between participants (E.g. Map Handicap, Exact Map score in the match) will be settled as void in case the match format is completely changed in a way that would alter the counter of such occurrences and their respective odds, including but not limited to cases where the number of scheduled Maps is changed from a previously announced odd number of scheduled Maps (E.g. Best of 1/3/5) to an even number of scheduled Maps (E.g. Best of 2/4/6) and vice-versa. Bets will stand and will be settled accordingly for those offers where the announced changed is not relevant (E.g. Match odds will remain valid if the number of scheduled Maps is changed from the previously announced 3 Maps to 5 Maps), or the outcome of the offer has already been determined before any change is announced. The following example is being provided as a general guideline of how such bets would be treated in case of comparable situations: A bet on “To win 1st Map” will remain valid if a match is changed from 3 to 5 Maps but an Over/Under bet on Total Maps in the Match would be settled as void in a similar scenario.
• 30) Should LiveScore Bet erroneously offer odds and lines based on a different number of Maps/Games/Rounds from the correctly scheduled number of said instances, settlement of offers referring to a race to a particular happening/totals of a particular occurrence (E.g. First participant to win X rounds, Over/Under Maps played) or the margins/difference of completed occurrence between participants (E.g. Map Handicap, Exact Map score in the match) will be settled as void in case the match format is completely different in a way that would alter the counter of such occurrences and their respective odds, including but not limited to cases where the number of scheduled Maps is calculated on an odd number of scheduled Maps (E.g. Best of 1/3/5) when the match is scheduled for an even number of Maps (E.g. Best of 2/4/6) and vice-versa. Bets will stand and will be settled accordingly for those offers where the discrepancy is not relevant (E.g. Match odds will remain valid if the number of scheduled Maps quoted is 3 instead of the stipulated 5 Maps), or the outcome of the offer has already been determined before any change is announced. The following example is being provided as a general guideline of how such bets would be treated in case of comparable situations: A bet on “To win 1st Map” will remain valid if a match is listed as 3 instead of 5 Maps but an Over/Under bet on Total Maps in the Match would be settled as void in a similar scenario.
• 31) During specific events LiveScore Bet might decide, solely at its own discretion, to offer for betting purposes a reduced selection of participants which could include betting options such as "Any Other", "The Field", or similar. This option includes all unlisted participants except for the ones mentioned specifically as available. LiveScore Bet reserves the right to list/specify more participants at a later stage. Should these newly listed participants be the winning outcome, they will be considered as having been unlisted until the time they have actually been introduced to the list and settled accordingly.
• 32) Offers that make a specific reference to a participant’s performance in a particular event/timeframe (e.g. Team X vs The Field or Winner without Team X) are to be considered void if the mentioned participants fail to play an active part at least once in a subsequent stage of the applicable event/timeframe after the bet has been placed and/or accepted.
• 33) Should a match start with a different number of players than that encompassed in the event regulations (E.g.: Either team starts a match with only 4 players instead of the scheduled 5 players), all bets will be determined as void. In case either team loses momentarily and/or permanently from the match any number of players, after the match has started with the stipulated number of participants as per the event regulation, bets will remain valid.
• 34) Bets on matches/events featuring participants which use a different/wrong nickname or using a “smurf account” will stand, granted that it does not become reasonably obvious that the participant using that particular nickname is not the one intended. In such cases bets will be settled as void.
• 35) Bets on a team are to be considered valid regardless of the individuals used by said team as participants. Should the organizing association deem it permissible for a team to play with a stand-in participant or replacement player, all bets will stand granted that an official result is issued.
• 36) Any form of a qualification ahead of the main tournament (where applicable) is considered to be a valid part of that competition. Thus any participant who is eliminated at qualification stage will be considered losing to anyone that is pre-qualified or is successful in the qualification stage.
• 37) In the case of bets where there is reference to timeframes, they should be interpreted in the following way: “within the first 30 minutes” will include anything happening until 0 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds; “between 10 to 20 minutes” will include anything happening from 10 minutes and 0 seconds until 19 minutes and 59 seconds.
• 38) Any bets referring to duration represent the actual time passed in the map/round/event, as applicable. For example, a bet on Over 30.5 minutes in a Map will be settled as Over once 30 minutes and a half in the specified map have passed.
• 39) Any reference to “Winner” and/or “Upper” bracket will remain valid regardless of whether Maps and/or any other advantages are awarded via the event rules to any participant.
• 40) Advantages awarded via event structure will be considered for settlement purposes, unless otherwise specified. Nonetheless, any reference to specific indexes of Maps, Games, etc as presented on site is always to be considered as relevant to the phase of the match being actually played. Example: in a best of 3 Maps match where Team A starts with a 1 Map advantage, any Map 1 related offers will actually refer to the outcomes emanating from the second Map of the match, ie. the first Map to be actually played.
