Part C: Betting Rules

22 Australian Rules Football (AFL)

22A Bets will be paid out on the basis of the official declared result.

22B For events where extra-time is played, bets will be paid on the basis of the official declared result after the completion of extra time.

22C For matches without extra-time:

(a) A 'draw' will always be included for 'margin' betting, and any bets that were placed on either team to win by a margin will be considered losing bets in the event of a draw/tie.

(b) Any bet placed on a head-to-head option on either side is paid in accordance with the 'dead heat rule' (i.e., half of the face-value of the relevant bet ticket).

22D If a match is postponed but played within seven (7) days of the originally scheduled start time, all bets on any market on that match shall stand. If the match is not played within seven (7) days of the originally scheduled start time it will be deemed to be abandoned and:

(a) All single bets on the abandoned event shall be voided and the stakes refunded.

(b) All multi-leg bets will be recalculated to exclude legs involving the abandoned event.

22E For all player markets and markets based on player statistics (i.e., top goal scorer, most disposals etc.), bets will be paid out on the basis of results and statistics published on, and extracted from, the AFL website.

22F Any bet on a player will be refunded if the player is not named in the final matchday team of twenty-three (23).

22G In the event of a venue change, all Customer bets shall stand.

22H Premiership markets are settled on the official premiers. A premiership market will not be available once the two grand finalists are known. From that point, only match betting on the Grand Final will be available.

(a) For match betting on a Grand Final, bets are settled on the official result, including any extra time played under AFL rules.

22I Any Customer bets placed on a 'Most Wins', 'Most Losses' or other similar market will not take into account any competition points deducted from a team owing to breaches of rules and/or regulations. In the event of two or more teams tying, the tie shall be broken based on the percentage as published on the AFL website.

22J Any Customer bets placed on a 'Top Victorian Team', 'Top Non-Victorian Team' or other similar market shall be resulted in favour of the team that finished higher on the ladder at the conclusion of the home-and-away season. Should two or more teams finish on the same number of competition points, the team with the better percentage shall be deemed to have finished higher on the ladder.
