Part C: Betting Rules

38 Rugby Union

38A Payouts are based on the official declared result, including the end of any additional extra time. If the result of a match is a draw after extra time, dead heat rules apply for head-to-head markets. Conditions do apply to some specific markets, namely with a draw as any option. Half-time full-time doubles and all margin bet types are resulted at the end of normal time, excluding any extra time played. A price for the draw will always be included in margin betting.

38B When a match is abandoned or postponed and played within seven (7) days of the original scheduled date, all bets stand. Once the seven (7) days have expired, all single bets that have not already reached a conclusion are void and stakes will be refunded. Any multi bet will be recalculated to exclude that leg.

38C If a match does not commence or is cancelled prior to the conclusion of the first half, all bets are void regardless of the official result. If a match is abandoned in the second half, the match result is paid, and all other markets are void unless there has been an unconditional outcome reached.

38D Any bets placed on the most losses market, are paid on the team which loses the most games throughout the season. Points deducted because of breaches of rules or regulations are excluded for resulting purposes. In the event of more than one team having the same number of losses the position will be determined by for and against as published by the governing body.

38E For the time of the first and last try markets, payouts are based on the official clock.

38F Any bet on a player is refunded if they are not in the final matchday squad of 23.

38G In the case of a penalty try being the first try - all first try scorer bets carry over to the second try. If a penalty try is the last try, all last scorer bets pay on the second last try scorer.

38H All bets stand regardless of venue change.

38I For Six Nations betting, the grand slam refers to a victory against all other teams in the competition. The Triple Crown refers to one of England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales defeating the three other teams in the market. Draws are not considered victories.

38J For the purposes of determining the outcome of any try conversion market, a penalty try will not be considered if 7 points are automatically awarded (no conversion attempt). In this case, the outcome of any try conversion market will be determined based on the occurrence of the next 5 point try scored where a conversion attempt is made.
