Rugby

Aside from the following special betting rules, the common betting rules apply. The special rules will take precedence over the common rules nevertheless.

The following rules apply to both Rugby League and Rugby Union (unless stated otherwise).

1. Bet Acceptance: We accept singles on all games unless otherwise stated. Unless otherwise stated, all rugby bets are settled on 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), which includes any injury time added on by the referee. Where odds for both outright and handicap betting are available, all bets will be settled on the outright price unless you have specifically requested handicap at the time your bet was placed. However, where only handicap betting is available all bets will be settled on the advertised Handicap price and conditions. 

2. Bet Settlement: All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown on the website at the time the bet was accepted. This does not include any post-game disputes by either team that alter the final outcome of a match at a later point. For the purposes of these rules, half time is defined as the scheduled first 40 minutes of the 1st Half. Normal time and 80 minutes' Play is defined as the scheduled 80 minutes of play of the 1st and 2nd Half. Extra Time is defined as any scheduled periods of play after normal time and 80 minutes' play. All bets on rugby matches are based on the score at the end of 80 minutes' play, unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled. Prices relating to the score of the match after extra time may be offered at the end of a scheduled 80 minutes' play. All bets specific to extra time will be made void if a match is abandoned before its scheduled end unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled.

3. Winning Margin: Winning margins are for how many points the selected team will WIN BY. Winning margin betting is from zero, no handicaps are applied. Extra time does not count.
For example:
If a bet is placed on the England winning margin of 11-20 points if England win 27-8 the winning margin is 19 points so the England 11-20 points band wins, if England win 27-18 the winning margin is 9 points so the England 11-20 points band loses, in this case the winning margin band that wins is England 1-10 points.

4. Correct Score: Correct scores are for how many points the selected team will SCORE.
Correct score betting is from zero, no handicaps are applied and is for the nominated team to win by scoring that amount of points. Extra time does not count.
For example:
If a bet is placed on the England correct score of 21-30 points if England win 27-8 the winning score is 27 so the England 21-30 points band wins , if England win 17-8 the winning points is 17 points so the England 21-30 points band loses, in this case the correct score band that wins is England 11-20 points.

5. Tryscorer Betting: Penalty tries do not count. In the event of a penalty try, settlement goes on to the next awarded try. We will make every effort to quote prices for all probable players. However, prices for unquoted players will always be available on request and those players will count as winners in the event that they score.

6. First Tryscorer: In both Rugby League and Rugby Union, bets will be void if a player has not entered the field of play at any point prior to the first try being scored. If the game is abandoned at any time and the first try has already been scored, then all bets stand. If no try has been scored at the time of abandonment, then all bets will be void. Penalty tries do not count for the purposes of this market (unless a specific price is available for 'Penalty Try'). Where ‘No Try scorer’ is offered as a betting option and the game ends with no try scored then that will be the winning option and all other outcomes will be settled as losers where applicable, if ‘No try scorer’ is not offered as an option and no try is scored then all bets will be void. First try scorer bets are settled in accordance with the statistics and reports from the official website of the league/tournament of the match in question. Subsequent alterations will not alter settlement. Whilst every effort is made to produce a comprehensive list of participants for each match, lists are not exhaustive and other players will count as winners if they score the first try.

7. Anytime/Last Tryscorer: In both Rugby League and Rugby Union, bets will stand if a player takes any part in a game, no matter how long they play for. Money will be refunded only if a player does not enter the field of play at any stage. If the game is abandoned at any time and the first try has already been scored, then all bets stand. If no try has been scored at the time of abandonment, then all bets will be void. Penalty tries do not count for the purposes of this market (unless a specific price is available for 'Penalty Try'). Where ‘No Try scorer’ is offered as a betting option and the game ends with no try scored then that will be the winning option and all other outcomes will be settled as losers where applicable, if ‘No try scorer’ is not offered as an option and no try is scored then all bets will be void. Anytime/Last try scorer bets are settled in accordance with the statistics and reports from the official website of the league/tournament of the match in question. Subsequent alterations will not alter settlement. Whilst every effort is made to produce a comprehensive list of participants for each match, lists are not exhaustive and other players will count as winners if they score anytime/the last try.

8. Next Tryscorer: Requires you to predict the player that will score the next try in the match. Only available In-Play. 80 minutes only (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), unless otherwise stated. All players that have taken some part in the game before the next try is scored will be deemed runners. Bets on players that do not take any part in the game before the next try is scored will be void. If there are no further tries scored "No Tryscorer" will be the winning selection. If no price is offered for "No Tryscorer" and no further tries are scored, then all bets on the market will be void. If the game is abandoned at any time and the first try has already been scored, then all bets stand. If no try has been scored at the time of abandonment, then all bets will be void. Next try scorer bets are settled in accordance with the statistics and reports from the official website of the league/tournament of the match in question. Subsequent alterations will not alter settlement. Whilst every effort is made to produce a comprehensive list of participants for each match, lists are not exhaustive and other players will count as winners if they score the next try.

9. Time of 1st Try/Last Try/Next Try: If no try is scored in the match then the result will be deemed to be 80mins (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). Therefore, if the selections on offer are, for example, ’19 minutes and under’ and ’20 minutes and over’, then the latter will be settled as the winner. Winning bets must predict the time when the first/next/last try is scored in normal time. For example, in a match where no tries are scored, the option '20:00 Minutes and after/No try' will be settled as a winner and '00:00 to 19:59 minutes' would be settled as a loser. If a match is abandoned all bets are void, unless the first try has been scored.

10. Wincast (Anytime Tryscorer and Match Result): To win you must successfully forecast a player to score a try anytime during 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) and also the result of the match after 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). Bets stand as long as your selected player plays some part in the match. If your selected player does not take any part in the match, Wincast bets revert to a single on the match result. If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), Wincast bets are settled as Anytime Tryscorer singles as long as the player played some part in the match and therefore had an opportunity to score a Try.

11. Trycast (First Player to Score a Try and Match Result): To win you must successfully forecast both the player who will score the first try in a selected match and also the correct result after 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). If your selected player joins the match after the first try has been scored or does not take part in the game, Trycast bets will revert to match result singles. For First Tryscorer purposes, penalty tries do not count, so in this circumstance, the Trycast will be settled on the scorer of the following try and the result of the game.
If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes and a try has been scored, Trycast bets are settled as First Tryscorer singles. If no try has been scored, all bets are void.

17. Timed Markets: Markets such as "Try between 00:00 and 19:59" and "Total Points between 60:00 and 80:00 - Over/Under" work on the basis of the selected scores occurring in the time frames 00:00-19:59; 20:00-the end of the first half including additional time; 40:00-59:59; and 60:00-the end of normal time (80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) including additional time).

18. Handicaps: Winning bets must predict the winner of the match at the end of normal time after the final score has been adjusted by the handicap.

Extra Time Betting: ‘Extra Time’ is defined as any scheduled period of play between the end of normal time (i.e. 80 minutes play plus any time added on at the end of 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches)) and the end of the game. ‘Extra Time’ does not include penalty shootouts. All Extra Time betting markets, such as total points, or time of first try will start from the beginning of extra time and not include normal time.
