BET
TYPES
1.
1X2
1.1 Bets can be made by either selecting a Home Win, a Draw
or an Away Win.
1.2 Bets will be settled at the end of normal time play, excluding
extra time and penalties (where applicable).
2 ASIAN HANDICAP
2.1 Asian Handicap is a style of betting where the bookmaker
handicaps the two teams in a game before its commencement.
Using football as an example, the bookmaker gives a goals
deficit to the team he thinks is more likely to win, and a
head start to the team he thinks is less likely to win. The
handicaps are expressed in goals, or fractions of goals. To
win a bet, the end user, rather than backing a team to win,
bets on it to overcome the handicap.
3. CORRECT SCORE
Bets are made by predicting the correct result or score of
a concluded match or event that is offered for betting by
the bookmaker.
4. DOUBLE CHANCE
4.1 Double chance is similar to 1X2 bets except that the end
user is able to bet on two out of three possible outcomes
by selecting the following options: a Home Win or Away Win;
a Draw or Away Win or a Draw or Home Win.
4.2 If one of the two possible outcomes is achieved, the bet
is won.
4.3 If a match is played on neutral ground, the team listed
first on the website is deemed to be the home team for betting
purposes.
5. FIRST TO START
Predict the team or participant who starts off the game/match/event.

Bet on the half time and full time results of a designated
match, (note that the bet is void if the match is played in
a time format not expressly provided in Specific Sports Betting
Rules).
7. MIX PARLAY
A mix parlay bet is a bet which combines multiple selections
of different games or matches offered by the bookmaker for
betting. A mix parlay bet which combines different selections
within the same game or match are not allowed where the outcome
of one affects the other.
8. MONEY LINE /HEAD TO HEAD
A money line / Head to Head bet is a bet on the outcome of
a match or event between two paired competitors. In the event
of a draw result, all bets will be refunded at odds of 1.00.
9. ODD/EVEN
Bets are settled based on the aggregate sum total of points/goals
(resulting in an odd or even number) in a match or series
of matches in which the bets were placed. A 0-0 score is considered
as even.
10. OUTRIGHT
10.1 An outright bet involves the selection of a winner in
a tournament, competition, league or event either from the

or event prior to the conclusion of the competition where
the results are still undecided.
10.2 There are no refunds on non starters for outright betting.
10.3 The Dead Heat Rule applies to all outright betting.

etc achieved (resulting in an over or under a prescribed target
number set by the Operator) in a match or series of matches
in which the bets were placed.

12.1 Period betting means the placing of a bet on different
segments of a game (e.g. quarters, halves, periods, sets,

override the official match result.
22.3 Where there is no video recording available, the correct

posted on the official website of the sport governing body
unless the official website's posted result is manifestly
wrong, in which case the Operator shall use its best endeavours
to determine the correct outcome to be used to determine the
winner and/or the result. In such cases, the Operator's decision
shall be final.
23. IN RUNNING ("LIVE") BETS
SERVICE
23.1 In Running ("Live") bets are only available
for those sports that the Operator designates as live betting
markets and only in respect of those matches marked as "live"
or "live bets" or by a LIVE sign in the list of
events or in a special file entitled "LIVE" on the
Website.
23.2 An In Running ("Live") bet is where the End
User is permitted to place a bet during an ongoing match or
event up to such time when the Operator ceases betting on
that match or event.
23.3 In an In Running ("Live") Bet for Asian Handicap
bets, two types of scoring system are displayed on the Website:
(a) Where current scores or results are updated and displayed
("Type A Scoring"). The settlement of a bet is determined
by the result of the final score (including the handicap)
at the conclusion of the match or Period Betting (depending
on the nature of the bet), minus the current score at the
time of the placing and acceptance of the bet.
(b) Where current scores or results are not displayed and
instead a 0-0 score or result will be displayed ("Type
B Scoring"). The settlement of a bet is determined by
the result of the final score (including the handicap) at
the conclusion of the match or Period Betting (depending on
the nature of the bet). The End User is advised to verify
match status before placing their bet.
23.4 Depending on the specific sport, selected markets may
be offered for betting at the sole discretion of the Operator.
The Operator does not acknowledge or accept any liability
whatsoever if it is not possible to place a bet or if the
live score update is incorrect. It is the scores or results
displayed at the conclusion of the match that are valid.
23.5 At all times, it is the End User's responsibility to
be aware about the score and is advised to verify match status
before placing your bets.
23.6 Unless otherwise stated on the Specific Sport Rules,
any information, statistic or editorial text ( e.g. scores,
timers or results) displayed on the website during an In Running
("Live") game situation are purely for general information
purposes and should not be relied upon for betting purposes.
23.7 As with non-live bets, the winner of an event will be
determined at the conclusion of the event. Protested, appealed
or overturned decisions will not be recognized for wagering
purposes and subsequent changes to the results will not affect
the outcome of the bet.
23.8 The Operator reserves the right to suspend a market or
not accept bets at anytime without notice. When a market is
suspended any bets placed for that market but prior to being
accepted by the Operator may be rejected at the Operator's
discretion. Any bets accepted prior to suspension or cessation
of the live market will stand, while any bets placed after
live betting has ceased will not be accepted unless otherwise
stated in the Specific Sports Rules.
23.9 During In Running ("Live") bet conditions,
bets placed will be kept in pending mode during specific high
risk/ danger moments in a match. Such bets will be indicated
as "Pending" on each bet slip until such time when
the bet is accepted or rejected by the Operator. High Risk/
Danger moments are defined as follows:
(a) Corner kicks;
(b) Penalty kicks;
(c) Free kick awarded to attacking team near the opponent's
penalty box area;
(d) Throw in given to attacking team near the opponent's penalty
box area;
(e) Whenever a team is in a potential scoring scenario as
in an active attacking mode,
23.10 All bets on Asian Handicap and Over/Under that are in
Pending mode (other than bets on Total Bookings, Total Corners,
Total Offsides, Total Substitutions and/or bets which do not
have an effect on the overall result of the match) will be
cancelled if one of the following occurs:
(a) A goal is scored
(b) A player is sent off
23.11 All other bets such as Total Bookings, Total Corners,
Total Offsides, Total Substitutions and/or bets which do not
have an effect on the overall result of the match may be accepted
at the Operator's discretion.
23.12 The Operator at its sole discretion shall determine
the time in which any goal or point was scored. References
as to the time of goal(s) or points scored as stated in official
league/club website, media website or "live score"
website may be considered for guidance purposes but shall
not be binding on the Operator in its determination of time.
23.13 Where the Operator has reason to believe or suspect
that a live bet has been placed after the outcome of a live
event is known or if delayed "live" television coverage
results in a live bet being placed at the incorrect price
after the selected participant has gained an advantage (to
be determined at the Operator's sole discretion), the Operator
shall be entitled to treat the bet as void without having
to provide any reason whatsoever.
23.14 In the event of any technical malfunction, including
the crashing of its website or suffers any downtime which
hinders, delays or prevents the Operator from accessing its
website to update the score, odds or handicap, the Operator
reserves the right to cancel all pending bets placed at the
time of the incident.
23.15 With regard to live betting, the general rules concerning
results' evaluation apply. Where a live event is interrupted
in the course of play, causing the event to be postponed or
abandoned, any bets taken on such postponed or abandoned events
that are not restarted within 12 hours from the event commencement
time (unless specifically provided for in a particular sports'
betting rule) shall be void. The exception shall be for bets
which have been unconditionally determined before the actual
interruption of play. In such circumstances, such bets will
be valid.
