RULES AND REGULATIONS

PART A - INTRODUCTION

  1. RULES OF USE AND INTERPRETATION

    Betfair's Rules and Regulations ("Betfair Rules") are an integral part of the terms and conditions of Betfair. Betfair's Rules apply to all bets made in Betfair markets (including all "Matched Bets and "Multiple" bets) and cover the following aspects:

    • This INTRODUCTION (Part A);
    • The GENERAL RULES (covered in Part B);
    • SPECIFIC SPORTS RULES (covered in Part C – applicable to specific sports); and
    • MARKET INFORMATION (located at the right of the screen for all bets offered by Betfair, located on every Betfair market either under the tab entitled "Rules" or under the ‘Rules’ or ‘i’ button).

    The General Rules are applicable to all bets, except when stated otherwise in the Market Information or the Specific Sports Rules. If there is any inconsistency between the Specific Sports Rules and the General Rules, the Specific Sports Rules shall prevail. If there is any inconsistency between the Market Information and either the General Rules or the Specific Sports Rules, the Market Information shall prevail, except where the General Rules or Specific Sports Rules use the phrase 'regardless of what it says in the Market Information' or similar wording.

    For any category or market not referred to in the Specific Sports Rules (e.g. ’Special Bets’ or beach volleyball), the General Rules and Market Information will apply.

    Betfair's Rules will be applicable to the customers of Betfair International plc that are registered in Spain or play from Spain.

  2. MARKET INFORMATION

    Market Information is provided for information purposes as an at-a-glance guide on how Betfair intends to manage the market. Market Information may also contain rules on market settlement, however it must always be read in conjunction with the General Rules and the relevant Specific Sports Rules. A link to this Rules and Regulations page will always be provided in the Market Information for each market.

    Whilst the Market Information may provide a guide to how markets will be managed, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair reserves the right to suspend any market at any time at its sole discretion, including in order to carry out necessary administration and/or to take any necessary action to protect Betfair customers.

    Betfair shall not amend the Market Information after a market has been loaded except as necessary to correct obvious errors and/or to add wording to clarify the Market Information where appropriate.

  3. USERS RESPONSIBILITY

    When a user opens an account with Betfair, all Betfair Rules on any market that the user may wish to bet on is provided to them. Customers should not simply rely on the Market Information as the Market Information is unlikely to contain all of the applicable rules relating to a market.

    By their nature special sets markets are unpredictable. They should therefore be treated with particular caution. Users are responsible for managing their own positions at all times in such markets. Users should pay particular attention to the Market Information on ‘Special Bets’ markets to ensure they understand the basis on which the market will be administered and settled.

  4. CUSTOMER BETTING DISPUTES & IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service: a service that settles betting disputes)

    Any Betfair user who has any concerns or questions regarding the Betfair Rules or regarding the settlement of any Betfair market should consult our Dispute Resolution Policy.

PARTE B - GENERAL RULES

  1. MANAGING MARKETS IN-PLAY

    1. 1.1General Aspects

      • Betfair will do everything in its power to suspend markets in-play at the start and end of the event. However, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended at the relevant time.
      • Betfair will not part-suspend outcomes/selections in an exchange market that has been turned in-play.
      • Betfair users are responsible for managing their in-play bets at all times.
      • For the purposes of in-play betting, customers should be aware that transmissions described as "live" by some broadcasters may actually be delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data.
    2. 1.2All markets other than soccer markets not suspending at the time of the 'off'

      • In relation to markets which are scheduled to be turned in-play, Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets in-play at the time of the 'off'. The time of the 'off' for such markets should be set out in the Market Information. However, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at the time of the 'off'.
    3. 1.3Soccer markets (not suspending at kick-off)

      • In relation to soccer markets that are scheduled to be turned in-play, Betfair aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets in-play at kick-off and to suspend such markets on the occurrence of a Material Event (see definition of "Material Event" below).
      • The relevant scheduled kick-off time should be set out in the Market Information. However, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, Betfair does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at kick-off.
      • For the purpose of this rule, a "Material Event" shall mean a goal being scored, a penalty being awarded or a player being sent off.
  2. RESULTS AND MARKET SETTLEMENT

    1. 2.1General Aspects

      • Markets will be settled as set out in the Market Information and/or the Specific Sports Rules.
      • Where the Market Information or Specific Sports Rules do not specify how and on what basis a market will be settled, markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in reporting the result).
      • If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the result will be determined by Betfair (acting reasonably) using information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement, then Betfair shall (acting reasonably) determine either: (i) whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or (ii) whether or not to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where Betfair has announced that it is waiting for further information, any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by Betfair (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).
      • In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, Betfair reserves the right to suspend settlement of any market for an unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of Betfair. Betfair reserves the right to void any market if the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved to Betfair's reasonable satisfaction.
    2. 2.2Resettlements

      • Markets are generally settled shortly after the end of the event in question. Betfair may settle (or part-settle) some markets before the official result is declared (or may increase a customer's 'available to bet' balance by the minimum potential winnings of that customer on a given market) purely as a customer service benefit. However, Betfair reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if: (i) the official result is different to the result on which Betfair initially settled the market (for example, a horse racing result being changed by the relevant governing body shortly after a race, but before the result is official); or (ii) if the whole market is eventually voided (e.g. for an abandoned event).
      • Betfair reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a market if a market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error).
      • If Betfair resettles a market, this may lead to amendments being made to a customer's balance to reflect changes in market settlement.
    3. 2.3Non-runners, withdrawals and disqualifications

      • Subject always to Betfair's right to void bets under its terms and conditions or for any exception under the Betfair Rules, if a market contains a statement that says "ALL BETS STAND, RUN OR NOT" (or something similar) in the Market Information, then all bets on a team or competitor will stand regardless of whether or not the team or competitor starts the event or takes any part in the event.
      • Where the Market Information does not stipulate that all bets will stand regardless of participation, customers should refer to the relevant Specific Sports Rules.
      • If a team or competitor is disqualified, withdraws or forfeits after starting an event they will be deemed a loser providing at least one other team or competitor completes the event. If no team or competitor completes an event (having started) then all bets will be void except for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally determined.
  3. ABANDONMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS

    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, where a market has no rules in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information in relation to an abandonment, cancellation and/or postponement the following rules shall apply.
    • In relation to any match, fixture, game, individual event, race or similar: If the event is not completed within three days after the scheduled completion date, then all bets on markets for this event will be void, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined.
    • In relation to any tournament, competition or similar: If the event is not completed within three days after the scheduled completion date, then any markets relating to the event will be settled in accordance with the official ruling of the relevant governing body, providing such a decision is given within 90 days after the scheduled completion date. If no official ruling is announced in this 90 day period, then bets on any market relating to this event will be void, except for bets on any markets which have been unconditionally determined. If a market is to be voided but has been part-settled as a courtesy to Betfair customers, then such part-settled bets will be reversed and all bets on the market will be void.
    • Betfair will decide (acting reasonably) whether a market relates to a match (or similar) or a tournament (or similar). However, by way of example, the following shall apply: (i) Europa League outright = tournament; (ii) Champions League Group outright = tournament; (iii) Ryder Cup outright = tournament; (iv) Golf tournament outright = tournament; (v) Tennis Tournament outright = tournament; (vi) Motor Race (e.g. Grand Prix) = match.
  4. CHANGE OF VENUE

    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if change of venue is not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information then the following rules shall apply:
    • For any team sport: if the scheduled venue is changed after the market is loaded by Betfair, all bets will be void only if the new venue is a home ground of the original away team.
    • For all categories or markets other than team sports: if the scheduled venue is changed after the market is loaded by Betfair, all bets will stand.
    • If there is a change in the type of scheduled surface (e.g. a tennis match changing from a grass court to clay) after the market has been loaded, all bets will stand.
  5. PERIODS OF TIME

    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information then the following rules shall apply.
    • If the scheduled duration of an event is changed after the market has been loaded but before the start of the event, then all bets will be void.
    • Some markets refer to the length of time until an occurrence in the event (e.g. time of first goal). If an event happens in stoppage or injury time after any regular time period then it will be deemed to have occurred at the end of the regular time period. For example, if a goal is scored in first half stoppage-time in a soccer match it will be deemed to have occurred on 45 minutes.
    • All bets apply to the relevant full 'regular time' period including stoppage time. Any extra-time and/or penalty shoot-out is not included.
    • References within these Rules and Regulations to a particular number of 'days' shall mean the last minute of the day local time after the expiry of the specified number of days. For example, if a rugby match is scheduled for the 1st of December, then the rule that allows the match to be completed within three days after the scheduled completion date (see Paragraph 3 above) would mean that the deadline for completion of that match would be 23.59:59 on the 4th of December.
  6. MATCH BETS

    • Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. For example, for match bets on Golf markets the rules are set out in the Specific Sports Rules. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information then the following rules shall apply.
    • 'Match Bets' for one-off events are determined by the competitor or team with the best score, time or finishing position in the event. If none of the competitors or teams involved in the match bet complete the event or register a score, time or finishing position then bets are void unless specified otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. Any competitor or team not completing an event or registering a score, time or finishing position having taken part in the match bet event will be settled as a loser providing at least one other team or competitor completes that event or registers a score, time or finishing position.
    • 'Match Bets' for progress in a competition or event with multiple heats or rounds are determined by the competitor or team which qualifies to the furthest round (whether it takes part in the further round or not) or with the best score, time or finishing position in the final or same heat of that competition or event. If the relevant competitors or teams fail to qualify in the same round of the competition but in different heats then dead-heat rules will apply, irrespective of the finishing positions in their respective heats. Markets will be part-settled after the end of each round and any subsequent disqualifications, penalties or amendments to results or qualifications will not have any effect on the market. Where one or more of the competitors or teams are disqualified, for the purposes of settlement, the disqualified competitor or team will be deemed to have progressed further in the competition or event than all those eliminated from the competition or event prior to the disqualification, and will be deemed to have finished last (or joint last if there is more than one disqualification) of those still competing in the competition or event. Disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the time of the competitor's or team's removal from the competition or event by the relevant governing body, rather than at the time of the event which caused disqualification.
    • If one of the competitors or teams does not take any part in the event, then all relevant match bets will be void.
    • If an event or tournament is abandoned or reduced in duration such that any competitor or team fails to complete the match bet, event or tournament for any reason other than withdrawal or disqualification then all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
  7. DEAD HEATS

    • Unless stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information the Dead Heat Rule applies to bets on a market where there are more winners than expected (as set out in the Market Information).
    • For each bet matched on a relevant winning selection, the stake money is first reduced in proportion by multiplying it by the sum of the number of winners expected (as set out in the Market Information), divided by the number of actual winners (i.e. stake multiplied by (number of winners expected/number of actual winners)). The winnings are then paid to the successful backers on this 'reduced stake' (reduced stake multiplied by traded price) and the remaining stake money is paid to the appropriate players.
    • For example, assume there is a dead heat for first place between three horses. 'Client A' has backed one of the winners for a stake of 300 at the traded price of 4.0. When the event is settled, the stake (300) is multiplied by 1/3 (i.e. the number of expected winners (1) divided by the number of actual winners (3)) to calculate the reduced stake (100). The backer then receives the traded price matched (4.0) multiplied by the reduced stake (4 x 100 = 400). In this example, Client A's net winnings are 100 (400 payout minus the original 300 stake). Alternatively, this can be viewed as the full amount paid to the traded price divided by the number of dead-heaters. In the above example this would be 300 at the traded price of 4.0 (1200) divided by 3; making 400 payout and 100 net winnings.
    • In relation to customers whose betting counterparty is Betfair, for the purposes of this section of the Betfair Rules dealing with dead heats, the terms 'Client A', 'Client B' and 'appropriate layers' should, where relevant, be read as 'Betfair'.
  8. Errors in respect of bets placed on ‘Sportsbook" and ‘Multiples’ products

    Betfair makes every effort to ensure that it does not make any errors when accepting bets. However, if as a result of technical or system problems or human error, a bet is accepted either on Betfair’s Sportsbook or on Betfair’s Multiples products that is at odds (which includes handicap provisions or similar) and/or is on terms that are either:

    1. materially different from those available in the general betting market at the time the bet was made.
    2. clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was made; then all bets will stand and Betfair will settle winning bets at the ‘correct price’.

    To establish the ‘correct price’, Betfair will consider prices available in the general betting market at the time the bet was made, including the prices offered by other major betting operators.

  9. Maximum Winnings for ‘Sportsbook’ and ‘Multiples’ products

    The maximum payout limits set out below apply to all bets placed on Betfair’s ‘Sportsbook’ product and its ‘Multiples’ products.

    The maximum payout limits apply to individual events. If you place a bet that exceeds the applicable limits for a particular event, the relevant maximum payouts will still apply.

    The maximum payout limits refer to the total returns on your bets, excluding your original stake.

    The maximum payout limits apply to any one customer or group of customers acting together, backing the same combination of selections, regardless of whether or not such bets are struck separately, at a range of different prices, on different days and through a number of different accounts. If Betfair believes that a number of bets have been placed in this way, the total payment of all those bets combined will be limited to one single maximum payout.

    The maximum payouts shown below are shown in euro.

    The following maximum payout limits will apply to the events shown (please note: if a multiple bet has been placed which involves events with different maximum payout limits, the lowest applicable maximum payout limit will apply to the whole of your multiple bet – for example, if you place a multiple bet on English Premier League football matches and on a golf tournament, your winnings will be capped at €250,000 and not €1,000,000):

If you place winning bets on those products that exceed this daily limit, your winnings will be reduced to €1,000,000 and the remainder of your winnings in excess of €1,000,000 will be forfeited by you.

  10. MULTIPLES

    Betfair currently offers one type of multiple bet: ‘Fixed Odds Multiples’. Please click here for our FAQ page and further information in relation to Fixed Odds Multiples.

    Rules applicable to ‘Fixed Odds’ Multiples

    • Customers placing a multiple bet will be betting with Betfair and Betfair will act as the counterparty to the bet.
    • A multiple bet consists of a number of legs. A leg is defined as one or more chosen selections in any individual event market.
    • Betfair reserves the right in its sole discretion not to accept certain multiple bets or to scale back stakes in certain circumstances.
    • All multiple bets placed are subject to the Betfair Rules that apply to each individual sport that relates to any leg of any multiple bet.
    • Maximum winnings for all multiple bets:
    • If any selection in any leg is a non-runner or otherwise void under the Betfair Rules (e.g. an abandoned match) then all bets on that individual leg will be void and the Fixed Odds Multiple bet shall be adjusted accordingly. If the voided legs mean that an individual bet within a multiple becomes a single bet (one leg only), then this single bet will stand.
    • Betfair reserves the right not to accept certain combinations of Fixed Odds Multiples, such as those including related contingencies (i.e. where the outcome of one event is likely to affect the odds on the outcome of another event). This may happen automatically at the bet placement stage. Alternatively, if such bet is taken in error, Betfair may settle the individual bet combinations which include two or more of the related contingency selections, as single bets.

    Multiple bets may be placed that include conventional bets or in-play bets, but bets of both types may not appear together in a multiple bet.

  11. MISCELLANEOUS

    • All references to time periods in the Betfair Rules relate to the time zone in which the event takes place. For example, a reference to the start time of a football match, relates to the local kick-off time.
    • All information supplied by Betfair is done so in good faith. However, Betfair cannot accept liability for any errors or omissions in respect of any information, such as the posting of prices, runners, times, scores, results or general statistics.
    • Betfair reserves the right to correct any obvious errors and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure markets are administered with integrity and transparency.
    • If an incorrect team or competitor name is displayed (excluding minor spelling mistakes) or the incorrect number of teams, competitors or outcomes is displayed in any complete market or a market is otherwise loaded using incorrect information (for example the application of an incorrect exposure algorithm) or includes any obvious error, then Betfair reserves the right to suspend the market and (providing it acts reasonably) to void all bets matched on the market.
    • Customers are responsible for ensuring that they satisfy themselves that the selection on which they place a bet is their intended selection. For example, in the case of a competitor bearing the same name as another individual not competing in the relevant event, the onus is on the customer to ensure that they know which competitor Betfair has loaded into the relevant market and to ensure that they are placing their bet on their chosen competitor.
    • Betfair reserves the right at any time in its sole and absolute discretion to suspend a Sportsbook market.
    • Betfair may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by the Betfair Rules). In the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the markets, Betfair may also void certain bets in a market or void a whole market in its entirety.
    • Please be aware that if you place related or corresponding bets on a combination of Betfair’s Fixed Odds and/or Multiples products (and/ or the betting products of other third parties), it is possible for bets on one product to be voided in accordance with Betfair’s terms and conditions, while bets on another product may stand. You should note that Betfair will have no liability to you in the event that one or more of your bets on Betfair’s products are amended or voided in accordance with Betfair’s terms and conditions, even if your other related bets stand (and even if you have specifically relied on bets you have placed on one product in order to place related bets on another product).
    • Betfair reserves the right to change the Betfair Rules at any time. Any change will be binding and effective immediately after confirmation by the customer of receipt and agreement to the new amended rule, and any markets loaded following agreement to the new Betfair Rules will be governed by these.
    • Betfair reserves the right to cancel unmatched bets to protect customers at any time.
    • On the settlement of any market, amounts relating to winnings/losses on bets will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. For example where an amount is €3.33333 the settlement amount will be €3.33. In the event that the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up. On commission calculation, the amount shall be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. In the event that the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up.
    • By their nature ‘Special Bets’ markets are unpredictable so should be treated with particular caution. Customers are responsible for managing their own positions at all times in such markets.
    • The Betfair Rules have been prepared in various languages other than Spanish for reference only. In the event of any differences between the Spanish version and the non-Spanish version, the Spanish version shall prevail.

PART C - Specific sports rules

  1. AMERICAN FOOTBALL

    • All markets will be settled on the result including overtime unless stated otherwise in these Betfair American Football Rules or in the Market Information (e.g. the half time/full time market) or where the market has been unconditionally determined. If the game results in a tie after overtime all bets on the outright match winner market will be void.
    • If a match does not start on the scheduled start date and is not completed within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
    • If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed then, within three days of the scheduled start date, (a) at least 55 minutes of play must have elapsed in any match; or (b) an official result must be 'called' by the relevant governing body; otherwise all bets will be void, except for those which have been unconditionally determined. In those instances, if the scores are tied then all bets on the outright match winner market will be void.
    • For 'Individual player' markets, bets shall be void on any player who does not start in any down during the match.
  2. ATHLETICS

    • Where there is a presentation ceremony, markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the ceremony, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result.
    • If there is no presentation ceremony, outcomes will be determined in accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in reporting the result).
    • Unless stated otherwise in the Market Information, if a track or field event is abandoned, cancelled or postponed and not completed within 7 days of the scheduled completion date, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.
  3. AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL

    • Bets apply to regular time excluding overtime. However bets on "Finals" matches apply to regular time including overtime except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined or as stated otherwise in the Market Information (e.g. half-time/full-time markets). If the game results in a tie, Betfair dead-heat rules apply to bets on the match odds market.

  2. By telephone (the "Telephone Service");
  3. By mobile telephone ("Betfair Mobile"); or
  4. Via the application programs interface ("API").

Please note that not all Betfair betting products are available through each of the betting channels set out above.

When we refer to "the Services" in the General Conditions we mean all the services listed above (where applicable).

CONDITIONS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES

  1. Licence to use our site

    Betfair grants you a limited licence to access our site, provided that you comply with this Agreement.

    The availability of our website does not constitute an offer or invitation by Betfair to use the site in any country in which betting for money is illegal.

    Your use of any data feeds we may provide to you confers no rights whatsoever to the content and related intellectual and industrial property rights contained on our site or on any such data feeds. You agree not to monitor, use or copy our web pages or any of our web content, including, without limitation, any price data. You will not attempt to hack, make unauthorised alterations or introduce any kind of malicious code to our site by any means. You will not (a) reverse engineer or decompile (whether in whole or in part) any software available through the site; or (b) make copies, modify, reproduce, transmit, alter or distribute all or any part of the site or any material or information contained on it. Any unauthorised use or reproduction will be prosecuted.

  2. Use of our Services

    You understand that you may lose money on bets placed and accept that you are fully responsible for any such loss. You accept that under no circumstances will any amounts lost by you on any bet be recoverable from us.

    It is your responsibility to verify that you are permitted to bet with us in the country in which you reside and you agree that you will not bet with us while you are located in a country or jurisdiction which prohibits you from betting. In particular, you will not bet or attempt to bet with us if you are located in the United States of America or such other restricted jurisdictions as Betfair may from time to time determine.

    You undertake to use our services for legitimate betting purposes only. In particular you undertake not to (i) engage in any activity which has the purpose or effect of causing damage to or in any way hindering our business operations or generating or increasing a liability on us, including without limitation any tax, levy or duty from tax authorities; or (ii) bet on, or manipulate any individual Market in a manner which we believe has the purpose or effect of adversely affecting the integrity of the Market.

  3. Your conduct

    You will not attempt to use our website to deliberately transfer money from one Betfair account to another.

    You will inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors in calculations on a betting transaction. We reserve the right to declare null and void any bets which are the subject of such an error.

    You agree not to disguise or interfere in any way with the IP addresses of the computer you are using to access the site, or otherwise take steps to prevent us from correctly identifying the actual IP address of the computer you are using while accessing the site.

    You agree it is your responsibility to account for any tax or duty imposed on you as a result of any of your betting transactions.

    You agree not to access any other Betfair account to use any of our services or products from which you have been self-excluded, during the period of any such self-exclusion.

    You will not make offensive comments, use offensive or pornographic material or make potentially defamatory or inflammatory remarks on the forums or any other part of our site, including within your own username or other information contributed to our site.

    CONDITIONS RELATING TO BETTING

  4. Operation of our Services

    You are responsible for understanding the contents of our site and the operation of the Services and we reserve the right to change the format of the Services in order to improve such Services.

    We may determine when the Markets are open for betting and may close the Markets at any time at our absolute discretion. Though we will at all times use reasonable endeavours to settle Markets as quickly as possible, we give no assurances as to the timeframe in which Markets will be settled.

    We may take steps to block you from betting on our site if you are located in certain jurisdictions, such as, for example, the United States of America.

    You are entirely responsible for the information that you provide to us concerning the offer that you wish to place. We will not enquire into the reasonableness of any offer that you may make. We will not be liable for incorrect entries made by you, including data input errors with respect to the odds, price or stake on offer, or incorrect bet requests that you communicate to a Betfair Telephone Operator. If a Betfair Telephone Operator repeats back your bet request incorrectly, it is your responsibility to correct the bet request and inform the Betfair Telephone Operator of the error. Once you have confirmed the bet request to the Betfair Telephone Operator (whether or not that was the original bet that you requested) and your bet is matched, you will be liable for that bet if it loses.

    Betfair may, at its sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a Market at any time (even if such suspension is earlier than anticipated by our rules and regulations) in the interests of maintaining integrity and fairness in the Markets. Betfair may also void certain bets or a Market in its entirety.

    In the interests of maintaining integrity and impartiality in the Markets, we may, at our sole and absolute discretion, decide to suspend betting on a Market earlier than anticipated by our rules and regulations and/or void certain bets or an entire Market.

  5. Cancellation, termination, suspension and breach

    In accordance with these Terms and Conditions, we may at any time restrict your access to Betfair, suspend or terminate your account, withdraw your offers for bets, void any bets outstanding to your account or cancel and void any outstanding or matched bets at our absolute discretion, without the need to show just cause, including if:

    1. if there is a technological failure;
    2. we suspect that you are engaging in illegal or fraudulent activity;
    3. we suspect that you have, or may have, breached any part of this Agreement;
    4. we suspect you are acting in a manner that is detrimental to the conduct of our business or which may result in legal liability for you, us or third parties;
    5. we suspect that your account’s ‘public market data’ usage (‘public market data’ includes market prices, traded volumes and market depth) could represent ‘business usage’ (‘business usage’ includes any use by a betting operator or any use by an individual or organisation supplying data or services to a betting operator);
    6. we suspect that you may be having difficulties obtaining credit; or
    7. we have the right to do so under our Rules and Regulations.
  6. Gambling by minors

    If we are notified that you are under 18 or were under 18 or were excluded when you entered into any betting transactions on our site ("under age"):

    1. we will immediately prevent you from entering into any betting transactions or making any withdrawals from or use of your account;
    2. we will investigate the claim that you are or were under age, including whether in fact you have been betting as an agent for or at the behest or on behalf of another person;
    3. if we find that you are or were under age, all winnings which have accrued and remain in your account or which are otherwise due to be credited to your account shall be paid to us;
    4. you must pay Betfair on demand all winnings obtained from betting whilst under age. Should you fail to comply with this obligation, we will seek to recover from you or compensate with bets placed by you any winnings paid to you as a result of bets placed, together with the costs of such recovery. Any sums recovered will belong to Betfair; and
    5. we will not return to you any charges paid by you to us in respect of bets made whilst you were under age.
  7. Minimum and maximum bet stakes

    Depending on the product or type of market you are betting on, certain minimum bet amounts apply. These minimum bets are subject to change and may differ depending on whether you use our site or the Telephone Betting Service. You are not permitted to place bets or try to place bets that are below the minimum bet amount and we may close your account permanently if you do so.

    Your betting limit is represented by the lesser of: (i) your 'Available to Bet' balance shown in your account and (ii) your ‘Exposure Limit’ (which is available in the “Account Summary” tab in “My Account”). However, in the event that we process an offer for a bet or the acceptance of a bet for an amount outside the applicable thresholds, this bet will remain valid.

  8. Bet settlement

    Subject to these General Conditions and any applicable Specific Conditions, we will settle Markets in accordance with our Rules and Regulations. We reserve the right to reverse or amend settlement in the event of a Market being settled incorrectly. This may lead to amendments being made to your account to reflect changes in Market settlement and if there are insufficient funds in your account we may demand that you deposit funds into your account to cover the outstanding balance.

    The win or loss amount for your bets on a Market will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up.

    CONDITIONS RELATING TO US

  9. Payment structure

    Please refer to the Betfair Charges section in the "About Us" section, which sets out in detail how all commission and charges are calculated.

    We will calculate the amounts that you owe us and deduct these amounts from your account. The amounts you owe us will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the amount ends in 0.5 it will be rounded up.

  10. Matters beyond our reasonable control

    Without prejudice to our obligations under the various laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we are licensed to operate, and to the extent permitted by the Law in your jurisdiction, we are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer by virtue of any: natural disaster, power cut; trade or labour dispute, error or omission of any government or authority; obstruction or failure of telecommunication services; or any other delay or failure caused by a third party or otherwise outside of our control. In such cases, we reserve the right to cancel or suspend our services without incurring any liability.

    We are not liable for the failure of equipment or software, howsoever caused, regardless of where it is located or administered from, or whether or not it is under our direct control, that may impede the operation of the Services, the placing of offers for bets or the matching thereof, or prevent you from being able to contact us.

    To the extent permitted by the Law in your jurisdiction, we will not be liable for any failure to perform by a third party to this Agreement.

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor any of our suppliers accept any liability, however arising, for any losses you may incur as a result of using the Services. Under no circumstances will our liability under this Agreement or for breach of contract, tort, equity or otherwise exceed your exposure limit as specified in your account.

    Nothing in this Agreement excludes our liability with respect to death and personal injury resulting from our negligence, or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors.
