Olympics Rules
General Olympics Rules
If an event is cancelled, all straight bets related to that event are cancelled. Parlays that involve a cancelled event will reduce to the next lowest number of selections. If any event/match is postponed bets will stand providing the event is rescheduled to take place before the closing ceremony. This rule supersedes any of the individual sports’ postponement rules. If a competitor or team does not start a race or tournament then bets placed on that competitor or team will be considered cancelled and stakes will be refunded.
Final Medal Placings
All bets on the number of medals will be settled on the official medal table at the end of the Olympic Games. Any changes made by any governing body at a later date do not count for betting purposes.
World Records and Olympic Records
All bets on Olympic Records or World Records for an individual event will be settled at the completion of each event. All bets on the cumulative number of Olympic Records or World Records will be settled at the end of the Olympic Games.
Results
All bets that relate to the final result of the event/tournament will be settled based on the official result published by the governing authority of the respective sport/league/event. This typically occurs shortly after the event ends. The Sportsbook reserves the right to correct settlement if the official result is changed within 24 hours after the end of the event by the respective governing body. The Sportsbook will not take into consideration any amendments or disqualifications that occur more than 24 hours after the event ends.
In the event of more than one medal being awarded for the same position, for example there is potential for 2 bronze medals in boxing, Dead Heat Rules apply.
Head to Head betting
For markets relating to a full event, wagers are settled based on the final ranking from the official results. If there is no official final ranking, then the last successfully completed match/stage will be considered the final position. If competitors finish the event in the same position or their last successfully completed stage was the same, dead heat rules apply.
For markets involving a particular stage of a competition, all wagers are settled based on the official results at the end of that stage. If the competitors finish the stage in the same position, dead heat rules apply.
If one or more competitors do not start, all bets are cancelled. If a competitor starts the competition but is subsequently disqualified or does not complete the competition, all bets on that competitor are settled as losing wagers. If all listed competitors start the competition but are subsequently disqualified or do not complete the competition then all bets are cancelled.
