Tennis Rules

Tennis markets are exempt from the 36 hour rule with regards to cancelled, postponed or abandoned games – all bets stand and are settled according to the official result and in accordance with our individual bet-type rules. No bet-types will be void owing to delays in play, changes to schedules and/or weather delays. Bets will also stand regardless of:

  • change in venue
  • change of surface
  • change from indoor to outdoor (or vice-versa).
  • In the event of a change in the number of sets played (for example, if a match is changed from the best of 5 sets to the best of 3 sets) prior to the start of the match, only bets on Match Result will stand and all remaining match/set/game/point/special markets will be void.

For betting purposes a tie-break is considered as 1 game, and ‘super tie-breaks’ or ‘champions tie-breaks’ will be counted as 1 Set. Bets taken in error on any next or current game markets will be void should that part of the match be a ‘Super tie-break’ or ‘champions tie break’.
If a specified point/game/s et/tie-break does not take place, bets will be void.

Code Violation – For betting purpose, the first penalty point awarded by code violation to each player will be considered as a regular point and we will settle all related score/betting markets as normal. Each subsequent penalty by each player will be considered as null and will result in the voiding of all affected markets, including where the game/set/match betting markets are affected.

‘Unconditionally Determined Markets’ – unless otherwise stated all markets will be settled once the result of the bet is unconditionally determined, i.e. those markets for which a result is known and cannot change regardless of what happens in the rest of the match.

Outrights

Ante-post rules apply – all in run or not. Once a player or team plays a competitive shot (excluding warm -up) they are deemed to have started the tournament. For betting purpose, the team or player progressing to the next round (or awarded overall victory) will be deemed the winner. Dead-heat rules may apply where there is more than one winner.
