1. Match Winner
If one player withdraws (retires) or is disqualified after the first set has been completed, the 4️⃣ player progressing to the next round or who is awarded the match by the umpire will be considered the winner. 4️⃣ If the first set has not been completed, all Match Bets will be void.
If a match does not reach a 4️⃣ natural conclusion, any markets (besides Match Betting) that are not unconditionally determined will be void.
In the event of a change 4️⃣ to playing surface, venue or change from indoor court to outdoor and vice versa, all bets stand.
For betting purposes, the 4️⃣ winner is always the player who is declared the winner by the match umpire and officially advances to the next 4️⃣ round or is declared as winner of the tournament. The same applies to “Doubles” matches.
2. Set Betting
The full number of 4️⃣ sets required to win the match must be completed. If a player is awarded the match prior to the full 4️⃣ number of sets being completed, all correct set betting on that match will be void.
3. Current Set Winner (Live)
If a 4️⃣ player retires from a match whilst a set is in progress but before the set has been completed, the set 4️⃣ shall be deemed incomplete and stakes shall be returned.
4. Game by Game Betting (Live)
There are eight possible results for a 4️⃣ game:
• Server wins to love
• Server wins to 15
• Server wins to 30
• Server wins to deuce
• Receiver wins to 4️⃣ love
• Receiver wins to 15
• Receiver wins to 30
• Receiver wins to deuce
If a game is completed after an interruption 4️⃣ for any reason, that game shall be deemed to be complete for betting purposes.
If a game is completed by the 4️⃣ awarding of a penalty point by the umpire, the game shall be deemed complete. However if a game is completed 4️⃣ by the awarding of a penalty game by the umpire, the game shall be void and all stakes shall be 4️⃣ returned.
If a player retires from a match while a game is in progress but before that game has been completed, 4️⃣ that game shall be deemed incomplete and all stakes shall be returned.
Bets on a game which subsequently becomes a tie 4️⃣ break will be settled as void.
5. Total Games
Bets on the total number of games in a match will be over/under 4️⃣ a particular number, e.g. 21.5 games.
In the event of a retirement, bets will be void unless at the time of 4️⃣ the withdrawal the result of the total games is already determined e.g. If a match is abandoned at 6-4 4-4, 4️⃣ bets on Over/Under 19.5 games or fewer in the match are settled as winners/losers respectively, since any conclusion to the 4️⃣ match would have to have had at least 20 games. A champions tiebreak will count as 1 game for the 4️⃣ purpose of total games bets.
6. Game Handicap Betting
The bet is based on the number of games each player wins in 4️⃣ a given match, e.g. a player given a +2.5 game handicap who loses a match 7-6 7-6, would be the 4️⃣ winner for handicap betting purposes.
In the event of a retirement, the same logic which shall apply to the total games 4️⃣ in a set or match applies to handicap bets. For example, a player retires at 6-4 4-6 4-4; handicap bets 4️⃣ of +/- 2.5 games would be settled as won/lost since neither player can win by more than 2 games. Bets 4️⃣ on +/- 1.5 games would be void as the result is not determined. A champions tiebreak will count as 1 4️⃣ game for the purpose of game handicap bets.
7. Set Handicap Betting
The bet is based on the number of sets each 4️⃣ player wins in a given match, e.g. a player given a +1.5 set handicap who loses a match 6-4 4-6 4️⃣ 7-6 would be deemed the winner as they have covered the handicap.
In the event of a retirement or disqualification, bets 4️⃣ will be void unless the result is already determined at the time of retirement.
A Champions Tie Break will count as 4️⃣ 1 game for the purpose of Set Handicap Bets.
8. Retirements
Matches which cannot be played to their natural conclusion without unconditionally 4️⃣ affecting the outcome of a bet will be settled in the event of a retirement (excluding Match Winner).
All bets that 4️⃣ have been settled or are determined (i.e. the outcome is already decided) at the time a player retires are valid 4️⃣ and will be settled accordingly (including cashed out bets). All bets that are not decided at the time a player 4️⃣ retires shall be void.
Disqualifications are subject to the same settlement rules as retirements.
9. Set/Game/Tie-Break
A set/game/tie-break is deemed to have taken 4️⃣ place as soon as its first ball has been played but the outcome of the set/game/tie-break is not decided before 4️⃣ the set/game/tie-break is completed. If one point in a tie-break is played prior to a retirement/withdrawal, ‘Will there be a 4️⃣ tie break in the match’ would be settled as ‘Yes’.
10. Tie-Break
A tie-break is counted as one game for betting purposes. 4️⃣ A set which finishes 7-6 is deemed to include 13 games, rather than 12 games + a tie-break.
If a match 4️⃣ is decided by a "Match Tie-Break" instead of a final set, then the Match Tie-Break will count as a set 4️⃣ for betting purposes.
For tennis matches that use the Match Tie-Break (in place of a final set), in the event that 4️⃣ the next game turns out to be a Match Tie-Break, bets on the following markets will all be settled as 4️⃣ void:
· Next Game Winner
· Next Game Score Betting
· Next Game Points
· Next Game to go to Deuce
If the next game 4️⃣ is a regular game (i.e. not a Match Tie-Break) then bets will be settled as usual
11. To Win/Lose 1st Set 4️⃣ and Win the Match
If either player withdraws from the match before the first set finishes, bets will be void. If 4️⃣ the first set has been completed, the match part of the bet will be determined by the player awarded the 4️⃣ match and bets will be settled.
12. Interrupted Matches
If a match is interrupted or postponed, the bets within the framework of 4️⃣ the tournament will remain valid until the match is completed. An interruption or overnight suspension of a match is not 4️⃣ grounds for a bet to be void.
13. Continued Matches (After a suspension of play)
In the case of interruptions, the continuation 4️⃣ of the match can be offered, including the result at the time of the interruption. This continuation will be deemed 4️⃣ a new match for betting purposes. In the case that a match is interrupted and not resumed, all bets on 4️⃣ the continuation (including the result at the time of the interruption) of the match will be void.
14. Who will win/play 4️⃣ more games in round X
The winner of a bet is the player who wins/plays the most games after comparing two 4️⃣ players in the same round of a tournament. It is not important whether one of the two players wins or 4️⃣ loses his/her match. For the purposes of this bet, only the games won/played by each player will be counted (a 4️⃣ tie-break is counted as a game).
15. Team competitions (Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup, Laver Cup)
All bets on the winner 4️⃣ of the team competition are valid as soon as the first ball of the first match is played. In the 4️⃣ event of the retirement of one of the teams, the winner of the bet will be the team officially declared 4️⃣ the winner by the respective governing body
Should a team withdraw before the first ball of the first match of the 4️⃣ team competition has been played, all bets will be void.
16. Outright Betting/Quarter Betting/Half Betting
Should a participant take no part in 4️⃣ the competition then bets on them will be void. Should they withdraw or be disqualified after the tournament begins, all 4️⃣ bets will stand and will be settled as losers.

The tournament must be completed for bets to stand.
18. 4️⃣ To Reach the Final
All-in, run or not (see outright betting).
