The Betfair Sportsbook Rules and Regulations ("Sportsbook Rules") are part of Betfair's terms and conditions.
The Sportsbook Rules apply in relation to the markets offered and bets placed on the Betfair Sportsbook and on Betfair's "Fixed Odds" and "˜Multiples" products (although they do not apply in relation to any bets placed on Exchange Multiples, Australian Multis, Tote Extra and Tote & Exotics markets). The Sportsbook Rules do not apply to markets offered or bets placed on the Betfair Exchange.
The Sportsbook Rules consist of the following:
The General Rules apply to all bets on the aforementioned products unless stated otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules. If there is any inconsistency between the Specific Sports Rules and the General Rules, the Specific Sports Rules shall prevail. The General Rules will apply in respect of any category of bets or markets not referred to in the Specific Sports Rules (for example, special bets or beach volleyball).
Please note that there are separate Rules and Regulations for each of our Exchange and Sportsbook products. The rules governing how markets are offered, managed and/or settled are not the same for every market on each product. In certain circumstances, a bet that is settled as a winner on one product may be settled as a loser on the other product (and vice versa). Additionally, different settlement rules may apply so that, for example, bets that are a winner on one product may be settled as a dead heat or be voided on the other product. Customers must ensure that they familiarise themselves with the relevant rules that apply to the bets that they place on Betfair's products.
Betfair customers should make themselves aware of all of the Sportsbook Rules affecting any market on which they wish to place a bet.
Any Betfair customer who has any concerns or questions regarding the Sportsbook Rules or regarding the settlement of any Betfair market should contact Betfair HERE.
If a customer is not satisfied with how a bet or a market has been settled then the customer should provide details of their grievance to Betfair HERE.
When a customer has exhausted the internal Betfair betting dispute process without a satisfactory outcome, they may submit their betting dispute to National Office for Gambling (NOG - the Romanian gambling regulator) or to such other independent betting adjudication service that Betfair may recognise from time to time.
