Settlement Rules • We reserve the right to cancel any bet if odds are offered when the outcome is already known. • We reserve the right to cancel bets with obvious odds errors, including cases where the payout deviates by more than 100% from the market average. • We reserve the right to correct any market settlement errors at any time. • If a match does not follow the generally accepted format (e.g., unusual period length, scoring procedure), we reserve the right to void any market. • If official results are delayed, we reserve the right to delay settlement until official confirmation. • Matches will be settled based on the original result even if the outcome is revised post-match (e.g., due to ineligible player participation). ## II. General Rules Unless otherwise specified (such as the specific rules for each sport) —— the “general rules” principle applies to all betting. #### 1. Match Schedule Rules • All matches must be played on the specified date (within the same day) and at the specified venue. Otherwise, all bets are considered invalid. • If the scheduled teams change (one or both teams), all bets for that match will be cancelled. • If a participant withdraws before the event starts, all bets on that participant will be declared void. #### 2. Venue Rules • If a match venue is changed (other than to the away team's ground) then bets already placed will stand providing the home team is still designated as such. • If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed (e.g. match is played at the original away team's ground) then bets placed based on the original listing will be void. • For matches played at a neutral venue, bets will stand regardless of which team is listed as the home team. #### 3. Postponement & Interruption Rules • If the match is interrupted for any reason and resumes within 5 hours of the originally scheduled start time, all bets will remain valid; otherwise, the bets will be void. This does not apply where sport-specific rules state otherwise. (e.g., Baseball). • If a match is interrupted and replayed, it will be considered an abandoned match, and all bets on the original match will be invalid. • If a match is unfinished or not played (due to disqualification, withdrawal, result change, etc.), all markets are considered invalid. ## III. Sport-Specific Rules Specific format and detailed information of the Market, see: [Market\_Types](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FdQc_mvWygaLWml362qqVlYcQWqiJYMVwhadLyoeZHI/edit?gid=1547737460#gid=1547737460).
