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