- You must hold a verified account and be 18 or over.
- You must be physically located in Great Britain at the time of betting.
- You must have sufficient cleared funds in your account.
- Bet acceptance
- A bet is accepted only when a confirmation reference appears in your betting history.

- We may refuse, limit, or partially accept a bet to manage liability and comply with legal and integrity obligations.
- Minimum and maximum stakes and payouts
- Minimum and maximum stakes are shown on-screen per market.
- Maximum payout limits may apply per market or event and are applied per customer and related accounts.
- Settlement and results
- Bets are settled on the official result as declared by the relevant governing body of the event.
- For dead heats, winnings are calculated by dividing the stake by the number of tied selections, then multiplying by the odds.
- If an event is postponed, abandoned, or not completed under its official rules, settlement or voiding will follow the relevant sport rules published on the site.
- All settlement times are subject to data confirmation and integrity checks.
- Restrictions and related contingencies
- Certain multiple bets that involve related outcomes are not allowed unless the system offers a combined price.

- Cash Out, Edit Bet, or similar features are not guaranteed and may be unavailable, suspended, or reversed if a market is closed or data is delayed.
- Cancellations, palpable errors, and voiding
- If a manifest pricing or settlement error occurs, we may void the affected bet or correct it to the fair market odds that were available at the time.
- Bets placed after the outcome is known or after a market should have closed will be void.
- If a technical failure prevents acceptance or settlement, our records will be decisive, subject to your legal rights.
- Calculation of wins and losses
- Returns are calculated based on the odds accepted at the time of bet placement and the applicable settlement rules.
- Any applicable deductions, such as rule-based reductions in certain sports, will be applied.
Keep a record of your bet receipts and read any sport-specific rules linked on the market page before you bet.
