44 Tennis
44A A match is deemed to have started with the first serve of the match. Tennis outright bets are accepted all-in and if a player withdraws before or during a tournament the bet stands.
44B In the event of a match not taking place or if a player is given a walk over, bets on this match are void.
44C In the event of a change in the number of sets to be played, match bets, first set market bets will stand, all other markets will be void.
44D If a match does not run to conclusion, any markets that are not unconditionally determined will be void.
44E For any wager on handicap or total games, the match must run to conclusion or bets will be void, except if the result of either option is already determined.
44F All bets on the set betting market are void if the match does not run to completion, except if there is no possible chance of the bet being successful, for example – a bet on Player A to win 2-0 who has already lost the first set.
44G First set score and first set winner bets are finalised upon completion of the first set regardless of if the remainder of the match runs to completion.
44H For the avoidance of doubt, it is possible for a player to lose the match but cover a minus handicap. For example, Player A is -1.5 – if they lose the match 6/7 6/0 6/7 they will still cover the minus handicap.
44I With respect to the tiebreak played market, if a player retires and no tie break has been played, then the market is void. If a tie break has already been played, the market is paid as yes.
44J If a retirement occurs before the completion of the second set in a best of three set match, or before the completion of the fourth set in a best of five set match, bets on the number of sets market are void. If a retirement occurs after the completion of the second set in a best of three set match, the number of sets market will be resulted as a three-set match. If a retirement occurs after the completion of the fourth set in a best of five set match, the number of sets market will be resulted as a five-set match.
