  All match markets are based on the result after the scheduled 90 minutes play including injury/stoppage time.

  Extra time, penalty shootout or golden goal do not count unless otherwise stated.

  If a game takes place with a non-standard format of 90 mins (2 x 45 min halves) then all bets will be void. Exception to this, will be certain Youth and Women matches where 70mins (2 x 35min halves) or 80mins (2 x 40min halves) are normal match lengths and bets will stand.

  If a team starts a match with less than 11players then all bets will be void

  If a match is abandoned before 90 minutes playing time has elapsed, then all unresolved markets will be void, unless it is completed the same day.

  Matches that are postponed will be void unless they play the same day

  If the venue of a match changes, bets placed will stand, unless the match is switched to the away team’s ground, in this case, bets will be void.

  For matches played at neutral venues, the team listed on the left are still classed as the 'home' team for settlement purposes.

• Divisional Betting

  Bets are settled on the final League positions at the end of the scheduled season, irrespective of what happens in the Divisional play-offs, with bets on 'who will win' a League being settled on the team who lift the trophy. Bets will stand on any team that does not complete all of their fixtures. In the event of a tournament or league not completing all fixtures, all bets will be settled using the Official Result from the Governing Body.

  Season Handicap bets are settled by adding the handicap start value to the final points total of all selections in the market at the end of the season. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules apply.

  Season match bets are settled on which of two teams will place highest in the league at the end of the season. If teams finish level on points, then the tie breaker used by the league (e.g. goal difference or head-to-head records) will decide the winner.

• Bookings

  Bookings that take place in extra time, cards cancelled by the referee during the match, cards shown to non-active players, cards shown to managerial or coaching staff, or cards shown after the final whistle do not count.

• Corners

  Bets are settled on the total corners taken, not awarded

  Timing of corners and penalty kicks

  For settlement purposes, the timing of any corners and penalty kicks will be based upon the time the kick was taken and not the time at which it was awarded.

• Goalscorers

  We will make every effort to quote prices for all probable players. However, prices for unquoted players will always be available on request and those players will count as winners in the event that they score. Own goals do not count for settlement purposes, If the only goal scored within 90 minutes is an own goal, then 'no goalscorer' will be deemed to have been the outcome.

  In the event of there being a correction to a goalscorer on an inplay game, any bet taken on that goalscorer between the time of goal and the correction, will be made void, regardless if he scores a subsequent goal

• First goalscorer

  Stakes are refunded on any player who takes no part in the match or who comes on as substitute after the first goal has been scored

• Last Goalscorer

  All players taking part at any point of the match are deemed to have played for the purposes of Last goalscorer bets, irrespective of whether they were on the pitch at the time the last goal is scored.

• Score and Win

  Choose a player to score in a Match and that Players Team to Win. If the Player does not take part in the match, then the whole bet will be Void.

• Scorecasts (first player to score and correct score)

  To win you must successfully forecast both the player who will score the first goal in a selected match and also the correct score after 90 minutes play. Scorecasts are available on all matches where correct score and first player to score odds are available. The Scorecast 0-0 and no goalscorer is settled as a correct score single. If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score. For first goalscorer purposes, own goals do not count, so in this circumstance, the Scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game. If the correct score is 1-0 and the goal is an own goal, Scorecast bets are settled as a correct score single. If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 90 minutes and a goal has been scored, Scorecast bets are settled as first goalscorer singles. If no goal has been scored, all bets are void.

• Highest Scoring Game/Team

  Bets on which game will produce the most goals on a given matchday. In the event of a tie, Dead Heat rules apply. Only the named games count for betting purposes. If a match is postponed or abandoned then all bets are void

• Top League/Tournament Goalscorer

  Bets placed on a player to be the top scorer in a given league are based on regular season games only. Any goals scored in subsequent play-off games do not count for betting purposes. Once a player is named in the squad and has the opportunity to play in the league that season, bets will stand. If more than one player finishes on the same number of goals, then dead heat rules apply. Goals scored in Extra-Time will count, but goals scored within Penalty Shootouts will not count

• Results

  In the case of football and other sports, bets are settled on the official result published by the Press Association (PA). If the PA amends their decision at a later date, all bets will stand on their original result. If the result is not immediately available from the PA, the result published by the official governing body immediately after the match/event is finished will be used for settling purposes. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.

• Definitions Goal/Own Goal

  Different governing bodies have different rules, and where possible Opta works with the relevant people to reflect their official decisions on goal scorers.

  Regarding deflections, normally a goal is awarded if the original attempt is on target. An own goal is usually awarded if the attempt is off target and deflected into the goal by an opponent.

  Shot on Target

  A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:

  • Goes into the net regardless of intent.

  • Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).

  Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.

  Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.

  Shot off Target

  A shot off target is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

  • Goes over or wide of the goal without making contact with another player.

  • Would have gone over or wide of the goal but for being stopped by a goalkeeper's save or by an outfield player.

  • Directly hits the frame of the goal and a goal is not scored.

  Blocked shots are not counted as shots off target.

  Blocked Shot

  A blocked shot is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

  Is going on target and is blocked by an outfield player, where there are other defenders or a goalkeeper behind the blocker.Includes shots blocked unintentionally by the shooter’s own team mate.

  Clearances off the line by an opposition player (last line blocks) are counted as shots on target and do not get counted as a blocked shot.

  Goal Assist

  The final touch (pass, pass-cum-shot or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. If the final touch is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place. Own goals, directly taken free kicks, direct corner goals and penalties do not get an assist awarded.

  Direct Free Kick for Goals/Shots

  Direct free kick shots are any attempts created directly from the free kick itself (unassisted).

  Body Part for Goals/Shots

  The following four body parts are collected: Right foot, left foot, head and other. Foot includes any connection with the leg.

  Location for Goals/Shots

  The position of the ball, when the shot is taken (shot origin).

  Any event happening on a line, will be considered inside that area. For example, a shot on the 18-yard line will count as being inside the box.

  Pass

  Any intentional played ball from one player to another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and free kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and throw-ins.

  Tackle

  A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession. The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made. It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.

  Video Assistant Referee (VAR)

  We reserve the right to void any bet, where a bet is settled, or the price taken is affected by a VAR decision. This rule will begin at the time of the incident that is being reviewed and not the subsequent time of the decision made. Bets will stand if the review does not alter the decision made by the on-field officials, or the decision changes the on field decision but bets are not affected.

• 1) Australian Rules Bet Builder Rules

  1. All AFL selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within these rules, will be settled as a loser. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void for any reason (such as a selected player not participating in the match – see section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void. For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a draw, whether the final result has been determined with or without extra time, and even where the draw or tie may not have been offered through BetBuilder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If a quarter or half finishes scoreless, then goal or point-scoring selections such as First or Last Goalscorer for that period will be settled as losers.

  2. All AFL matches will be settled on the official declared result including any extra time.

  3. All 2nd half and 4th quarter market selections do include extra time if it occurs. For example, a total 2nd half points selection would include the points scored in both the 2nd half and extra time.

  4. All player selections will be considered active if a player takes to the field of play as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific period of the match. If a player never enters the field of play during a match, selections specific to that player will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to kick a goal in the second half would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player played the first two minutes of a match, was injured, and did not return to the game, regardless of having never been on the field during the second half. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the starting lineup (or interchange/emergencies) and never took the field, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

  5. Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 24 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 24 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 24 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.

  6. If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 24-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:

  • 1. Bet Builder bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the field of play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.

    2. If every selection within a Bet Builder bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg Bet Builder bet containing an over total points selection and a certain player to kick a goal, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did kick a goal before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.

    3. If a single selection of an Bet Builder bet has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a bet including a first goalscorer selection, in a game where a different player kicked the first goal and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.

    4. If there are no losing selections within a Bet Builder bet and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a bet including an over total points selection, in a game abandoned while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.

    If betting is offered on a set number of rounds & the fight takes place to a different number of rounds (e.g we are betting round betting for 12 rounds & fight is over 10 rounds), to win fight bets will stand. However all other markets (round by round, method of victory, total rounds, will the fight go the distance etc.) will be void.

  • 2) Total Rounds

    For settlement purposes where half a round is stated then 1 minute 30 seconds of the respective round will define the 'half' to determine under or over, or half the stated round time if it differs from the standard 3 minute round.

    If the number of rounds for a fight is changed after this market has been set then all bets will be void.

    Technical decision - when the fight can't continue for any reason other than a KO/TKO or Disqualification (e.g. a clash of heads causing a cut), but the required number of rounds have been fought for the fight to be decided upon the judges' scorecards.

    In the event of a technical decision before the end of the fight all bets will be settled as a win by decision. Round bets will be deemed losers.

    Decision – The decision of the judges' scorecards after completion of the scheduled rounds including:

    Split Decision (2 judges score fighter A the winner and the 3rd judge scores fighter B the winner)

    Majority Decision (2 judges score fighter A the winner and the 3rd judge scores the contest a draw)

    Unanimous Decision (All 3 judges score fighter A as the winner).

    Knockout/Technical Knockout –

    Knockout (KO) is when the boxer does not stand up after a ten count.

    Technical knockout (TKO) is the three knockdown rule or if the referee steps in when it is decided that a fighter cannot safely continue to fight.

    If a fighter fails to answer a bell for the next round then this will also be deemed a TKO.

    Any corner retirement will be considered a TKO, unless the fight is subsequently decided by the judges' scorecards or is declared a no contest.

    For settlement purposes KO/TKO includes disqualification.

    Draw or Technical Draw –

    A Draw is as decided by the judges' scorecards on completion of the full scheduled rounds. A Technical Draw occurs if the referee stops the fight for any reason other than Knockout, Technical Knockout, or disqualification, before the start of the 5th Round.

  • 37) Cricket Bet Builder Rules

    1. All cricket Bet Builder selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified below, will be settled as a loser. If one or more selections in any bet are resulted as void for any reason (such as a selected player not participating in the match – see section 4), the entire bet will be resulted as void. For instance, selections on a team to win a match where the game finishes in a tie or draw, regardless of whether the final result has been determined with or without extra innings or Super Overs, and even where the tie or draw may not have been offered through Bet Builder, will be settled as losers. Similarly, ‘Team to hit most sixes’ selections where neither team hits a six will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘Neither team will hit a six’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not. If an innings finishes without any wickets being taken, then wicket-taking selections such as ‘First wicket taker’ for that innings will be settled as losers. ‘Dead heat’ results such as ‘Player to topscore for his / her team’, where the highest score on the team was jointly reached by two more or players, will likewise be settled as losers.

    2. Bet Builder bets placed on cricket matches are not inclusive of any extra innings, Super Overs, One Over Eliminators, or equivalent methods for determining winners of tied matches. Match winner selections, along with all other markets, will be settled inclusive only of the regular match innings (i.e., 20 overs per team for Twenty20 games – if a match is tied and goes to a Super Over, the match will be settled as a tie, regardless of the outcome of the Super Over).

    3. Any reduced amount of play in a cricket match (one ball or more), due to weather or any other causes, will cause all currently active selections to be voided. For the purposes of this rule, an active selections is one that has not already achieved a settlement status at the time of the confirmation of reduced overs, as per the same parameters in point 6 of these rules relating to selections in abandoned matches.

    4. All player selections will be considered active if a player participates as an active player at any point of the relevant match, regardless of whether the selection in question references a specific phase of the match (i.e., batting / fielding / bowling) that the player may not have participated in. If a player never participates in the match at any point as an active player, selections specific to that player (and therefore the entire bet as per Section 1) will be void. For instance, a selection on a certain player to hit a six or take a wicket would be active (and therefore settled as a loser) if that player only participated in the game as a substitute fielder, and did not bat or bowl in the match. However, if that player was injured shortly before the game commenced, was withdrawn from the team and never took the field, or was an unused substitute, the selection and therefore bet would be void.

    5. Where a match is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 24 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 24 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 24 hours have expired, all bets are void. Matches where the start date / time has been altered well in advance (e.g., to ease fixture congestion) may not be classified as postponed, at Boylesports discretion.

    6. If a game is abandoned prior to commencement, it falls within the 24-hour rule for postponed matches as described above. If it is abandoned after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:

    • 1. Bet Builder bets will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet entered the match as an active player. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.

      2. If every selection within a Bet Builder bet on the game is already a winner where the fact of abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg Bet Builder bet containing an over total runs selection and a certain player to hit a six, where that runs total has been reached and the player in question did hit a six before the game was subsequently abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total runs selection where a game is abandoned while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.

      3. If a single selection of a Bet Builder bet has lost and a match is then abandoned, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a Bet Builder bet including a team to win the toss selection, where the other team won it and the match was subsequently then abandoned, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently abandoned or not.

      4. If there are no losing selections within a Bet Builder bet and at least one void selection at the time of a match abandonment, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at abandonment, and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a Bet Builder bet including an over total runs selection, in a game abandoned while the total runs are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total runs selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the abandonment, so the bet will be voided.

      5. As per point 3 of these rules, the parameters for selections in abandoned matches also apply to matches where total overs are reduced.

  • 3) UFC/MMA Bet Builder Rules

    1. All MMA selections must win (no ties, draws or pushes) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within these rules, will be settled as a loser. Where a bet includes a selection resulted as void for any reason (such as a fight being ruled no contest after it has commenced), the bet will be settled in accordance with point 4 of these rules. For instance, selections on a fighter to get the most knockdowns, in a fight which ends with zero knockdowns, and even where a tie or draw option may not have been offered through Bet Builder, will be settled as losers.

    2. The winners of MMA fights will be resulted based upon the official result announced in the ring. Appeals or changes made to the winner after that point will not result in the fight being resettled (unless the change in question came from human error in the announcing of the result in the ring).

    3. Where a fight does not take place as scheduled, and subsequently commences on the same calendar date (local time) as originally scheduled, all bets will stand. All bets placed on fights which are postponed or delayed beyond the calendar date of the originally scheduled time will be void, and stakes will be refunded. The exception to this rule is where fights have been made available for betting using expected or nominal times/dates, in which case they will be updated to the official schedule once it has been confirmed. A substitution for one or both of the fighters in a match will cause all bets to be void and stakes to be refunded. A pre-fight change to the scheduled number of rounds in a fight will cause all bets to be void, and stakes to be refunded. For the avoidance of confusion, the fight may be subsequently reopened to betting through Bet Builder with the amended number of rounds; if it is, bets placed from the point of that reopening will stand.

    4. If a fight is rescheduled or cancelled prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed fights as described above. If it is abandoned or ruled no contest (NC) while the fight is ongoing, the following rules apply:

    • 1. If every selection within a bet on the fight is already a winner where the fact of no contest/abandonment had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the bet in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg bet containing an over total knockdowns selection and one fighter to record a takedown, in a fight where the required knockdowns were reached and the relevant fighter did record a takedown before the fight was ruled a no contest or abandoned, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the abandonment had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total significant strikes selection where a fight is ruled NC while the significant strikes total is still under the chosen number, as the abandonment would impact that outcome.

      2. If a single selection of a bet has lost and a fight is then abandoned or ruled NC, the bet will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of abandonment, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a bet including a fighter to record under 1.5 takedowns, in a fight where he/she recorded 2 takedowns before the fight was subsequently ruled NC, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the fight was subsequently abandoned or not.

      3. If there are no losing selections within a bet and at least one void selection at the time of a fight being ruled NC, the bet will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at the point of the ruling/abandonment, and may have won or lost if the fight had been fully completed. For example, a bet including an over total significant strikes selection, in a fight ruled NC while the total significant strikes are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the NC, so the bet will be voided. Similarly, a selection on the fight to last over 1.5 rounds, or on the method of victory for the fight, will be resulted as void where the fight is abandoned/ruled NC before 1.5 rounds have elapsed.

    5. Where a fight ends in a technical decision, fight winner will be settled as win/lose/draw, and Method of Victory will be settled as Decision. All other markets will be settled as per the abandonment/no contest rules above. Where selections have irrevocably concluded, they will be settled as a win or loss, but otherwise where they are undecided at the point of the fight stopping, and may have won or lost if the fight had been fully completed, they will be settled as void.

    6. Settlements will be based upon the statistics and results provided by the official website of the event/league/competition/governing body www.ufc.com

    • b. Rounds: This market is offered in increments of 1 round, starting from 0.5 (i.e. over/under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 rounds, etc). Where a fight ends with the clock at the exact halfway point of a round (e.g. 2:30 for 5-minute rounds), it will be deemed a completed half-round for the purposes of this market, and the fight considered to have progressed to the next half-round. For example, where a fight with 5-minute rounds ends at exactly 2:30 on the clock in the second round, a selection on the fight lasting over 1.5 rounds will be settled as a winner, and a selection on under 1.5 rounds will be a loser.

• VOLLEYBALL

  Bets will be settled on the official result as declared by the relevant governing body.

  All games must start on the scheduled date for bets to stand; otherwise all bets are void on that game.

  If a match venue is changed, bets already placed will stand providing the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away team for a listed match are reversed, then bets placed based on the original listing will be void.

  Games must go full scheduled playing time for bets to have action unless the specific market outcome is already determined.

  For competitions where two legged ties have a Golden Set to decide which team progresses (in the event of the tie being level in matches won), then for settlement purposes the Golden Set does not count.

BoyleSports makes every effort to ensure that it does not make any errors when accepting bets.

However, if due to a technical or human error a bet is accepted at odds that are:

• • significantly different from those available in the general betting market at the time the bet was placed; or
• • clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet

Bets will stand and winning bets will be settled at the correct price.

The use of a "banker" selection or selections to get round online limits is not permitted.

BoyleSports reserves the right to void any bets when 1 single selection ("a banker") is combined with other selections to circumvent BoyleSports' online betting limits.

If for any reason a draw does not take place we reserve the right to void all bets for that draw.
