General Rules
Bets are settled on the official result as declared by the match’s governing body.
If an event is affected by external factors (such as bad weather) and is not declared as a 'no result' then markets will be settled based on the official result provided by the event’s governing body. This includes events where the result is determined by the Duckworth-Lewis Stern (DLS) method and where the scheduled number of overs is reduced.
If a match is declared as a ‘no result’ bets will be void.
If a match is cancelled with no official result and is not played within 48 hours, bets will be void.
All statistical markets (e.g runs, wickets, 4/6s, extras) will not include super overs.
Player-specific markets stand if the player is in the starting XI (or a permitted concussion/impact replacement). If a listed player never takes the field, bets are void (except markets that explicitly say otherwise).
Retirement- If a batter retires hurt their score will be used for settlement purposes. If they return later, their total runs in that innings will count. A player who retires, will be considered dismissed.
For clarity:
- Wickets include all dismissals except run outs, timed out, retired out, or obstructing the field.
- Run outs count for run-out markets but not for bowler wicket markets.
- Caught and bowled dismissals count as caught for settlement.
Reduced / Limited Overs
Limited overs matches (General)
For limited overs markets (T20, 1-Day, The Hundred and other single-innings competitions) markets shall stand only where at least 80% of the originally scheduled overs in the relevant innings have been bowled, unless settlement has already been determined prior to the reduction.
If an innings is shortened to less than 80% of the originally scheduled overs, the affected markets (see market-specific rules below) will be void unless otherwise stated.
First Class / Test matches (Innings)
For innings-level markets in First Class and Test matches (e.g., Innings Runs, Innings Fours, Innings Sixes, Innings Wickets), at least 60 overs must be bowled in the named innings unless the named team is all out, declares or settlement has already been determined (in which case the innings is deemed complete).
First Class / Test matches (Match-level). For match-level markets in First Class/Test matches (e.g., Match Total Runs, Most Fours in Match, Most Sixes in Match), at least 200 overs must be bowled in the match in order for bets to stand, unless settlement has already been determined.
Player-specific markets
For player-specific markets, Pre-Match or Post-match, in limited-overs matches (Top Batsman / Top Bowler), at least 40% of the originally allotted overs in that team’s innings must be bowled for bets to stand, unless the team is all out or reaches its target before this amount, or settlement has already been determined. Players must be in the starting XI (or a permitted concussion replacement/impact player) for bets to stand.
Extras and Penalty runs
Extras (wides, no-balls, byes, leg-byes) and penalty runs will be included in the final totals only if they have been officially attributed to the score at the time the innings is deemed complete. Extras or penalty runs added retrospectively after the official close of the innings will not be included for settlement. Certain markets (where explicitly stated) exclude penalty runs - those exclusions remain effective.
Bets placed after curtailed innings / after final delivery
In the event of a curtailed innings, any bets placed after the final delivery of the curtailed innings has been bowled will be void. For clarity, bets struck before the final delivery that already achieved settlement are treated according to whether they have already won or lost.
Other market-specific rules
Markets that require specific portions of play (first over, first session, highest in x overs, etc.) will only stand where the required delivery/session/overs have been bowled in their entirety unless settlement has already been determined. For example, where a market requires the first over to be completed, both sides must have their first overs bowled in their entirety (subject to the market’s own 20% session exceptions where applicable).
Player-Specific Markets
All player selections will be considered active if a player participates as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific phase of the match (i.e. batting/fielding/bowling) that the player may not have participated in.
If a player never participates in the match at any point as an active player, selections specific to that player will be void. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the team and never took the field, or was an unused substitute, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

Specific Market Rulings
Total team runs – all team total run markets stand regardless of the outcome of the toss.
Who will take a wicket? – These markets concern bowlers taking wickets. Run outs will not be classified as wickets for either the relevant bowler or for the player who ran the batsman out. ‘Mankad’ run outs, whereby the bowler runs out the non-striking batsman prior to a delivery, do not count as wickets for the bowler.
Who will hit a four/six? – A four or six is any individual ball which the batsman scores four or six runs from, whether via boundaries or by running between the wickets. These runs must be attributed to the batsman (i.e. extras are not included).
A hat-trick to be taken in a match – A hat-trick is defined as a bowler successfully dismissing three batsmen with consecutive deliveries (with run outs not counting as dismissals for this purpose). The deliveries may be separated across different overs from the same bowler.
Bet Builder Rules
Bet builders will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the match as an active player.
If every selection within a bet builder on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, bets will be treated as winners.
If a single selection of a bet builder has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet builder will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded.
If there are no losing selections within a bet builder and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the bet builder will be treated as void.
The parameters for betslips in abandoned matches also apply to matches where total overs are reduced (refer to Reduced/Limited Overs). As such, at the time of confirmation of the reduction, bets where every selection has already won or at least one selection has irrevocably lost will be resulted as winners or losers respectively, and all other bets will be voided.
