Outright Betting/Top Nationality Etc

Non-runner no-bet. Outright markets may be subject to a Rule 4 (Deduction).

Official tour site results at the time of trophy presentation are used for settlement purposes (subsequent disqualification after this time does not count).

A player is deemed to have played once they have teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off then stakes will be lost on outright, group, match or 18 hole betting.

Where a tournament is reduced from the scheduled number of holes for any reason (e.g. adverse weather conditions) outright bets placed prior to the final completed round will be settled on the player awarded the trophy if 36 holes of the tournament have been completed. If less than 36 holes have been completed or outright bets were placed after the final completed round, then bets will be void.

Ante-Post bets on any player who takes part in a qualifying tournament but then fails to qualify for the main tournament will be classed as losers.

Skins Tournaments will be subject to dead-heat rules in the event of players winning equal amounts of prize money at the end of the specified competition. If additional holes are played to declare a single winner, then this will be used for settlement purposes.

Dead-heat rules apply except where the winner is determined by a playoff.

If a tournament is affected by adverse weather bets will be settled providing that there is a deemed tournament winner and a minimum of 36 holes are completed. The winner will be the player in the lead at the end of the last completed round.

If a player is disqualified or withdraws after starting, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, then the other player is deemed the winner. If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when the other player in the match bet has already missed the cut, then the disqualified player is deemed the winner. A price will be offered for the tie and in the event of a tie bets on either player to win will be lost.

Tournament Match-Ups

As above but bets void in the event of a tie.

18 Hole Betting

The winner will be the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. Players are paired, they may or may not be playing together.

Bets on 2 or 3-balls will stand irrespective of whether the actual pairings/group may differ. For tournaments using the Stableford scoring system the highest points scorer during the round is deemed the winner. Non-runners - 2 and 3-ball bets void. In 2-ball betting where a price is not offered for the tie then bets will be void in the event of a tie. If a price is offered for a tie, this will govern settlement. In 3-ball betting dead-heat rules apply.

For all other bets involving groups of more than 3 players together over 18 holes (e.g. 7-ball, 9-ball, etc) Dead-heat rules apply. Non-runner no-bet. Deductions in line with Rule 4 (Deductions) will apply.

Mythical Match-Ups

The winner will be the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. If scores are level after 18 holes, then bets will be made void. 

Match Play Markets

If a match does not start (e.g. player injured or disqualified before the start of a match) then all bets on that match will be void.

Bets on markets that can be settled by using the official tournament and match results (including final match correct score and individual match betting) will be settled using those results. This includes where a match finishes early either by agreement of the players or through injury.

Match Winner (2-Way) is settled on the winner including any extra holes played. In the event of a tie, bets on the Match Winner (2-Way) will be void. Match Result (3-Way) and Winning Margin do not include extra holes if played.

Specifically for Winning Margin and Last Hole Played markets, if a match finishes before the completion of the stated number of holes, bets will be settled on the official result. Bets will be void if a player withdraws at a point in the match where the result is still to be determined. E.g. The number of holes remaining is greater than or equal to the score at the time of withdrawal.

For the Last Hole Played market, if a player withdraws after the 16th hole when the match is tied or after the 17th when a player leads by 1, then the Last Hole played is settled as Hole 18, since any natural conclusion to the match would require the 18th hole to be played. Uncompleted single hole bets will be void.

36 Hole Match Betting

Settlement will be on the player achieving the highest placing at the end of 36 holes. If the number of rounds played is reduced, e.g. for bad weather, bets will be settled providing that a player has won the trophy (bets will stand as long as there is a deemed winner and a minimum of 18 holes are completed).

If a player is disqualified or withdraws after starting prior to the completion of two rounds, then the other player is deemed the winner.

A price will be offered for the tie and in the event of a tie bets on either player to win will be lost.

Settlement of Wagers

Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.

In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
