Free Play Rules

Free Plays can only be wagered on:

FOOTBALL (NFL / NCAA / CFL / ARENA)
BASKETBALL (NBA / NCAA / WNBA)
MLB Major League Baseball
NHL
CRICKET
SOCCER
BOXING
UFC (MIXED MARTIAL ARTS)
TENNIS

Free Plays can be used only in the Sportsbook on straight bets, parlays and teasers (no round robins).
No point-buying is allowed.
Free Plays lose when a push or tie results.
Free plays do not expire.
Free plays can only be wagered online via the website or the mobile site. Free play wagers cannot be made through the call center.
All free plays are subject to a minimum 6x rollover requirement or greater based on the terms and conditions of the particular promotion, no exceptions.
It is only the amount that you win from the free play that gets added to your account balance.
The maximum winnings from any single wagered free play bonus is $5,000 or $5,000 cumulative from multiple free play bonus wagers from the same bonus.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified by an Player Services Representative, when you receive a bonus for making a deposit you must roll over the amount you deposited (plus any fees that SportsBetting.eu may have covered), plus the Free Play bonus the specified amount of times. Wagers placed using Free Play do not qualify toward rollover calculation.

For example, if you deposit $1000 and your fees are $15, SportsBetting.eu will credit your account the full $1015 + $250 Free Play Deposit Bonus. So, if you have a ten-time rollover assigned for that deposit bonus, you must roll the entire amount (e.g. $1015 + free play) ten times. Thus, to receive a payout without forfeiting anything you won from your bonus, you must first cover the rollover amount (e.g. $1015 + Free Play times ten).

When calculating 'rollover', we use the lower of the risk/reward value as the effective value. For example, if you bet $500 on Team A to win $450, and you bet $400 on Team B to win $350, and you bet $250 on Team C to win $50, the total action applied toward fulfilling the rollover requirement would be $850 ($450 + $350 + $50).

Also, should you accept the Free Play and lose with it or choose not to use it, the Free Play Bonus will still be deducted at the time a payout is requested unless the rollover requirement is met.

There is no hold time or expiration for these bonuses and rollovers, so you may meet the requirements as quickly or as slowly as you wish. Sportsbook bonuses can be rolled over in the Sportsbook only; no play in the casino or in the race book will count towards rollover. The same goes toward Casino Bonuses, which must be rolled over in the Casino.

Parlay Rules

All parlays will pay up to a maximum of $150,000. However, the maximum amount a player can win in a 24hour period is $150,000.
When selecting a parlay you may not play both sides of the same game at SportsBetting.eu. If you play both sides of the same game, any winning wagers on the game will be canceled.

In a parlay, you may not play both sides of the same game at SportsBetting.eu. If you play both sides of the same game, any winning wagers on the game will be canceled.

Rake
No rake is taken before the flop in Hold'em and Omaha and no rake will be taken from uncalled pots.
Rake is only taken from money that has been matched by at least one player in the pot i.e. if one player raises $60 and another makes an all-in call with $20, rake will only be taken from the $40 that is matched by both players.
The 'Rake' is the percentage of the pot that goes to the house. Sportsbetting.eu uses a fixed schedule for its rake, based on the table limit and number of seats.

COMP/VIP Points

Comp points or VIP Points are earned by contributing to real money raked hands and buying in to tournaments.

Raked Hands:For every cent that you contribute to the rake, you'll earn 1 COMP Point.

Example:

If 5 people are playing at a table, and each person contributes to the pot evenly and the total pot is $50, then each player would have contributed $10 to the pot. Using the example of rake at 5%, each person would have put 50 cents into the rake. You earn 1 COMP Point per cent in the rake. Therefore, 50 cents into the rake would earn you 50 COMP Points.

Tournament Play:For every $1 you pay in tournament fees, you will earn 100 COMP Points. Tournament COMP is calculated in $1 increments (rounded down). In order to earn COMP from tournaments the fee must equal or exceed $1.

You can view your current COMP/VIP points balance in the top right of your poker software.

COMP points are added from the moment you begin playing real money games on the poker tables. On occasion, they may take up to 24 hours to reflect in your account.

Sportsbetting reserves the right to change the rules of the COMP/VIP points program at any time and without notice.

We designed the COMP Points program to reward our players. Sportsbetting reserves the right to withhold or deduct COMP points from any player found to be abusing the program in any way. COMP points are not transferable between player accounts.

COMP points accrue from April 1st to March 31st each year. COMP accrued in each COMP year remains valid until June 30th of the next COMP year. At the end of the COMP year, all COMP points expire.

Sit N Go Tournaments

A Sit n Go tournament is one with 2-18 players that starts immediately after the required number of players for that particular tournament is satisfied.

Each player begins the tournament with the exact same amount of chips. There are both Limit and No Limit Hold’em Sit n Go tournaments. Play continues until one player has all of the chips. When this occurs, the prizes are awarded according to the prize payout for that particular tournament..

Rules

Any player is eligible to enter into a Sit n Go tournament, providing they are able to pay the buy-in.
All Sit n Go tournaments are played until 1 player has all of the chips.
All Sit n Go tables will begin 30 seconds after the final person has registered.
The button determines which players begin posting blinds in the tournament.
Sportsbetting.eu does not permit soft play. Each player should play with the same intensity against all other players.
There will be no breaks, all Poker tournaments continue until one player holds all the chips.
When a player loses all their chips they are out of the tournament and finish in the order they were eliminated. Example: In a 10-player tournament if you are the third player eliminated, you are declared as finishing in 8th place.
If more than one player is eliminated in the same hand, the player with the most chips before the hand started finishes higher. In the case where both players also have the same amount of chips before the hand, both players will tie for the position. If there is a tie between two or more players, the prizes they qualify for are split evenly between all tied players. For example, if two players tie for 2nd place, each player receives 50% of the second place prize and 50% of the third place prize.

Special Bonuses

From time to time Sportsbetting.eu will offer special bonuses to players in the form of entries to selected tournaments or cash. By accepting any special bonuses from Sportsbetting.eu, players accept that they will be required to rake the bonus – by playing real money cash games - in its entirety before requesting any cash outs. Should a player make use of any part of the bonus, they will be required to rake the entire bonus.

Reload Bonuses

Sportsbetting.eu occasionally offers reload bonuses to players. In order to claim a bonus, players are required to follow the instructions given for each particular bonus. Should a player not comply with rules of the bonus they are ineligible and thus forfeit the poker reload bonus. Unless otherwise stated, all poker reload bonuses will be released in stages. To release a stage, players are required to play real money games to earn COMP points. The required COMP points for each bonus/stage will vary depending on the specific bonus on offer.

Live Casino Rules

1. Each game contains a “How to Play” tab which provides instructions on how to play the game and a “Pay Table” tab which contains details of the return to player. You agree to be bound by the rules, terms and conditions set out therein.

2. In the event of human misdeals or a technical problem of any kind, all hands will be void and the original bets will be returned to players.

3. In the event that you lose connectivity or time out during the live game, any bets you have made will remain in play as they would in a land based casino resulting in a win, loss, or push. Failure to respond within the allotted time for any reason will result in your hand being completed according to the optimal player strategy known as Basic Strategy. Completing a hand which has lost connectivity or timed out is done in the player’s best interest and to serve those back betting on the hand.

4. When back betting you are subject to the decisions made by the player sitting in the main seat. You are not entitled to a reimbursement if you do not agree with the decision(s) the player in the main seat selects.

5. Professional card counters are prohibited. If you are found to be a professional card counter, your account is subject to immediate closure and further action will be taken, if deemed necessary by management.

6. Any issues or inactivity by other players at your table will not affect your result, nor will it warrant any reimbursements.

The parties to each bet are the company, on the one side, and the customer (hereinafter “the user”), on the other side.

In addition, bets on league, cup or other events in which the respective club/organisation is participating may not be placed or commissioned by those persons considered to be participating in the respective event. In the case of violation of these regulations, the company reserves the right to refuse payment of any winnings and already invested stakes as well as to cancel any bets.

For individual (single) bets, this means that the user will get the amount equal to his stake back. In a multi bet, this means that the total odds will be adjusted accordingly and the multi bet can still be won if all other bets it contains are won too.

A3.3 Late Betting:

If the bet - for whatever reasons - is placed after the beginning of the betting event, the bet is invalid (this does not include live betting). The bet will be evaluated as “won” using the odds 1.00. For “Live Betting”, bets which are received by the company after the result of the respective bet has been determined are invalid and will be evaluated as “won” using odds of 1.00.

A3.4 Deadline:

The deadline for placing bets will in each case be determined by the company.

A3.5 Decline Acceptance:

The company reserves the right to decline acceptance of any bet without giving a reason.

A3.6 Accepted Bets:

Bets placed and accepted in good time - apart from the cases mentioned in these Terms and Conditions - may not be revoked or changed. It is therefore the user's sole responsibility to ensure that all of the details of his/her bets are correct.

A3.7 Early Outcome Information:

If, during the period of acceptance of bets, information becomes known through which the outcome of the bet can be determined, the deadline for acceptance of bets will be determined anew by the company or the bet will be cancelled. Cancelled bets are evaluated as “won” at odds of 1.00.

A3.8 Errors:

The company assumes no responsibility for typing, transmission and/or evaluation errors. In particular, the company reserves its right to correct obvious errors - even after the event - with the input of betting odds and/or the evaluation of betting results (e.g. odds-related, team-related, event-related errors) or declare affected bets void. The company also assumes no liability for correctness, completeness or up-to-dateness of the information services provided, for example live scores and result messages sent via e-mail or SMS. The stake is exclusively the amount confirmed and recorded by the company. In case the erroneous event/market is cancelled all bets are void and will be evaluated as “won” with odds of 1,00.

A4 Calculation of winnings

A4.1 Calculation:

In the case of bets with fixed odds, the winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the fixed odds.

In the case of live bets, the customer is able to accept any changes in odds during the bet placement process. Changes in odds are understood to be those which change between the pick being added to the bet slip and the bet being accepted by Sportingbet. The actual odds are then displayed in the bet confirmation notification. If the user does not receive a bet confirmation notification, the bet is still valid if it is displayed in the “My bets” section of the betting account.

More information can be found on the bet slip in the live bets area.

A4.2 Payout:

Winnings are only paid out up to a maximum of the winning limits (see paragraphs “A4.3” and “A4.4”). If the player places a bet whose payment exceeds the winning limit, the company is not liable for the excess amount. In this case payments of winnings will be reduced correspondingly. This applies also if the company has not warned the bettor against possible excesses of the winning limits at the time of betting.

A4.3 Winning limits:

The winning limits for bets with real money are as follows:

A4.3.1 Per Player and Week:

The winning limits for each player and week (Monday 00:00 until Sunday 23:59 (GMT +2)) are as follows: R 5,000,000.

These limits are only approximate values as they are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

A4.3.2 Per Player and Bet:

The winning limits for each player and offered bet are as follows: R 5,000,000.
These limits are only approximate values as they are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. If it turns out that a player has opened several accounts and has placed bets on them contrary to the General Terms and Conditions and the company should decide not to cancel all related bets, the winning limit applies to the total of the winnings gained from these bets.

A4.4 Different Winning Limits:

The company reserves the right to determine winning limits different from those specified in paragraphs “A4.3.1” and “A4.3.2” and/or determine specific winning limits for individual players.

A4.5 Special winning limits

Special winning limits apply for pre-event match betting on specific sports, events and bet types and are determined as follows:

American Football	NFL	Total points	ZAR 5,000,000

Multi bets: in the case of different winning limits applying for picks forming a Multi bet, the lowest winning limit will be relevant for the total winning limit of the Multi bet.

If winnings should be credited to the user's account that exceed the limits stated in this paragraph, the company reserves the right to reclaim the credited amount exceeding the stated limits.

A4.6 Reduced Stake:

If a user makes several equal bets (also the combination of single and multi bets), whose total winnings exceed the winning limit according to paragraphs “A4.3” or “A4.4”, the company is entitled to reduce the stake to the necessary extent in order to comply with the winning limits.

A4.7 Players Loss Protection:

Should a player lose ZAR 100,000 or more within a period of four weeks, the company reserves the right to take suitable measures to protect the player from further losses.

B Betting result

B1 Common betting rules

B1.1 Specific Sport Rules (B2):

There are exceptions or variations to these rules for certain sports and bets. The bettor should therefore always consult the sport-specific rules of each sport - found under “Special rules” - as the sport-specific rules will take precedence over the general betting rules.

B1.2 All bets stand:

Unless otherwise stated – in the exceptions below, in the betting offer or in the special rules of each sport – the principle “all bets stand” applies to all bets. This means, that if the athlete (or team, horse, etc.), on whom/which the bet has been placed, fails to participate – for whatever reason – the bet is lost if the betting event takes place. Only in exceptional cases will bets be declared void, particularly in the following cases:

The event/tournament is cancelled.
The event/tournament is declared void.
The venue is changed.
The event/tournament is interrupted or postponed and started or restarted more than 72 hours after the original start date.
Live bets: In live betting (also see rule B1.8), if there is a “non-runner” then all bets on this selection are void.
Head to Head (H2H) bets: If one or more participants withdraw before they have started the event/tournament.

B1.3 Order of teams in fixtures:

In general, the order of teams in fixtures is based on the official schedule of the respective competition. In exceptional cases, the official away team of an event may be listed as the home team. 'All bets stand' shall still apply.

B1.4 Determined bets:

All bets that are determined (i.e. the outcome is already decided) are valid and will be settled accordingly regardless of subsequent abandonment of the event/tournament at any time.

B1.5 Amendment (24 hour rule):

The company recognises only those results which have been achieved on the playing field or platform. Results amounting from disciplinary measures from a sports' court or another court of law are not considered. In case of violation of sports laws, the company reserves the right to freeze the winnings and withhold payment.

Exception: All bets referring to the final result of the event/tournament will be settled on the official result published by the governing authority of the respective sport/league/event - usually right after the end of the event. If the official result is changed within 24 hours after the end of the event by the respective governing body then the company reserves the right to correct settlement accordingly (i.e. already paid out winnings will be made undone after which bets will be settled according to the amended result). If an event/tournament is not completed for whatever reasons (e.g. bad weather, crowd problems, etc.) but there is an official result given by the governing authority within 24 hours then only bets on the winner of the event/tournament will be settled accordingly. If no result is declared by the governing body of the sport/league/event within 24 hours after the end of the event all bets which were not completed at the time of abandonment will be deemed void. This also applies to long term bets. Any changes to rankings made after 24 hours after the end of the event for whatever reasons, will not be taken into consideration when the outcome of the bet is decided.

B1.6 Postponement “72 hours” rule:

If a betting event is postponed, cancelled or does not start at the time displayed in the betting offer for whatever reason and restarted not later than 72 hours from the displayed start date, the bet counts for the restarted betting event. If a betting event is restarted later than 72 hours from the displayed start date, the respective bets are void.

Exception: If the start date of an event is not known at the time a bet is offered, this event will be marked with the extension “date to be confirmed”. For all these events and markets the correct start date will be entered as soon as it is known. Bets on such an event are valid even if the estimated start date does not match the actual one.

B1.7 Multi Bets:

B1.7.1 Not All Starters:

If in a multi bet, the starter on whom the bet has been placed does not participate in an event (except the “All bets stand” principle (B1.2)), or if one of the selected events is called off, abandoned or cancelled or does not take place for other reasons, and the respective betting events are not held within 72 hours, these bets are evaluated as “won” at odds of 1.00 which means that the multi bet can still be won depending on the other results that are part of it.

B1.7.2 Related Bets:

The customer may not combine (parlay) related bets on the same event. Related bets are two or more different bets that have related contingency.

Example:

Bet 1: “Which team will score the next goal?” contains the following results to bet on:
- “Team A”
- “Team B”
- “No Goal”
Bet 2: “When will the next goal be scored?” contains the following results to bet on:
- “Time X”
- “Time Y”
- “No Goal”
As the option “No Goal” has an effect on both bets, these are deemed “related” to each other.

Related bets do not necessarily contain the same result or refer to the same action. As the relation of bets is not always as obvious as in the example above, the company reserves the right to determine which bets are related to each other. If a multi bet containing 2 or more related picks has been accepted in error, then the company reserves the right to declare this bet invalid (see rule A3.2 Invalid / Void Bets).

B1.8 Ex-aequo Placings and Dead Heats (tie):

Ex-aequo placings arise when more than one athlete or team achieve the same placing. If not otherwise stated, should an event finish in the case of ex-aequo placings or a tie (dead heat) – and provided a corresponding betting option has not been offered – the following regulations dealing with the amount of winnings are enforced: The odds for the winning options (which are based on the European decimal form) will be divided by all pick variations won and then multiplied by the respective initial stake. These cases will be displayed in your betting account under “My bets” with the addition “d/h” (dead heat).

If not otherwise stated, this rule applies for all cases where two or more betting options are deemed to be winning options.

Example: A ski event ends in a draw between athlete A (odds of 4,60) and athlete B (odds of 9,00). Users who bet ZAR 10 on athlete A win ZAR 23 (Odds x stake / number of picks which are deemed correct = 4,60 x 10 / 2). Users who bet ZAR 10 on athlete B win ZAR 45 (9,00 x 10 / 2).

B1.9 Live Bets:

B1.9.1 Explanation:

Live bets are offered exclusively before and during an event on a dedicated live bets platform. The odds are continuously updated to reflect the current status of the game. In order to avoid a bet not being accepted due to changes in odds, the customer can accept changes in odds using the options “Accept all odds changes” or “Accept higher odds” when placing a bet.

More information can be found on the bet slip in the live bets area.

B1.9.2 Results:

For live bets the results that are known immediately after the conclusion of a betting market will be the ones used to evaluate the winning outcome(s). Subsequent modifications (e.g. results decided by a jury after the game) do not influence settlement of the live bet on offer. Live bets are settled on the company’s own statistics which are based on the actual run of play. Unless otherwise stated, in live betting all bets on “Non-runners” will be void.

B1.9.3 Common Rules:

For live betting, the “Common Betting Rules” (B1) concerning game evaluation also apply. Exceptions are special bets, which are decided before the actual interruption. These are declared valid.

B1.10 Playing Times:

In all sports that apply to a certain playing time, the result after regular playing time (including injury/added time) is decisive. Any extra time or penalty shoot-outs etc. will have no influence on the settlement of any bets. Any exceptions will either be announced as they occur or are part of the special rules of the specific sport.

Sportingbet cannot guarantee that the regular playing time of an event meets the 'normal' playing time of the respective sports (e.g. for football club friendlies). Aberrant playing times will be communicated if the information is available. In any case, all bets will stand.

B1.11 Disqualifications:

For all bets referring to the final result of the event/tournament, any player/starter/team that is disqualified for whatever reasons within 24 hours after the end of the event/tournament will be deemed a loser.

B1.12 Types of bets

B1.12.1 Odd- or Even- betting:

If the result is “0” then bets will be settled as “Even”.

B1.12.2 Handicap/Spread:

The event must be completed for bets to stand.

B1.12.3 Total betting (all bets containing the betting options “Over” and “Under”):

If the event is abandoned before its completion then all bets will be void, unless the highest possible total to bet on has already been attained in which case all bets stand.

B1.12.4 Head-to-Head (H2H) betting:

Single Event: If one or more participants withdraw before they have started the event then all bets will be void. If a participant is disqualified or does not finish the event for whatever reasons, then this participant will be deemed a “loser”. If all participants of the Head to Head bet are disqualified or do not finish the event, then all bets are void. In case of 2 or more participants finishing in the same position the “Dead Heat” rule (B1.7) applies.
Tournament: This rule applies for all tournaments played in knockout or round robin system or mixtures of both. The winner will be the participant who is placed highest in the tournaments final ranking. If there is no official final ranking, the last successfully completed match/stage will be considered the final position. If two or more participants should finish the tournament on the same position or their last successfully completed match/stage should be the same, dead heat rules apply. If one or more participants withdraw before they have started the tournament then all bets will be void.

B1.12.5 Medal betting:

All bets on the number of medals will be settled on the official medal table at the end of the event (e.g. Olympic Games, World Championships, …). Any changes made by any governing body at a later date do not count for betting purposes.

Team medals: Any medals won by a team/nation per competition count as one medal regardless of the number of team members.

B1.12.6 Nominated Finalists:

The finalists are the players/teams who really contend the final regardless of how they get there, including decisions made by any governing bodies.

B1.12.7 Any other/The field:

In case a bet contains the betting option 'any other', 'the field', 'any other rider not listed' or similar, this option includes all participants except the ones mentioned by name within the list of betting options - no matter if there are odds available for these participants or not.

B1.12.8 Enhanced Odds Specials:

For all bets that refer to the results of more than 1 event, each involved event has to be started within 72 hours after its scheduled time of beginning for the bets to be valid.

In case at least one of the involved events is not started in time or not finished providing an officially declared winner, all bets for the respective ‘enhanced odds specials’ will be void.

This rule does not apply for any bets that are placed as multi bets.

B1.12.9 Money Back Specials:
