Motor Sport

The following rules include reasons for voiding bets.

The following rules apply to all motor sports:

If there is a presentation ceremony, bets will be settled in accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body at the time of the ceremony.

If there is no presentation ceremony, bets will be settled in accordance with the official result of the relevant governing body immediately after the event.

The above applies regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is announced by the relevant data source within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an Error in reporting the result, in which case we will resettle the bets as appropriate).

If a race is abandoned, postponed or cancelled, all bets will be void unless the race is completed within 24 hours of the original scheduled ‘off’ time.

In addition, the following rules apply to the following specific motor sports:

All drivers who complete at least 90% of the race laps (rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps) are deemed as classified finishers in line with the official FIA classification. However, all drivers are given a ranking, and for the purpose of match and positional betting, this ranking will apply.

The start of the race is deemed to be the signal to start the warm-up lap. All drivers are in play from this point on.

From the formation of any race market, bets are considered to be non-driver no bet. Any bets on drivers who fail to take part in the race for any reason other than non-qualification shall be deemed void.

If a driver switches race teams during race week or a driver not originally listed enters the field, all bets taken prior to these changes being factored into the betting will be re-settled at the correct odds taking into account the team/car change.

The driver who finishes in the highest position is deemed the winner.

The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season. In the event of a Dead Heat for a championship place, then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results will be awarded the place.

Bets will be settled as the fastest lap posted during the third qualifying session (Q3). If Q3 does not take place, bets will be settled if the grid is formed based on times from the first or second qualifying sessions. All bets will be void if the grid for the main race or for sprint qualifying (where such format is used) is formed based on any other criteria. With respect to all bets on qualifying, either Outright or match betting, the official times as recorded by the FIA will apply for the settlement of bets. Drivers must start the first phase of qualifying for bets to stand. Any subsequent penalties or demotions imposed will be disregarded.

All race bets are settled on the official FIA classification immediately after the sprint qualifying session, with subsequent disqualifications or penalties disregarded. The race must be run within 24 hours of the scheduled ‘off’ time for bets to stand (otherwise they will be void).

If the race starts under the safety car, then this market will be settled as ‘yes’. If the race finishes under safety car conditions, but the safety car has not had time to get to the front of the leading car, this market will be settled as ‘yes’. Virtual safety car (‘VSC’) periods do not count.

Official lap times as recorded by the FIA will be used for settlement. At least one driver must record a lap time in the specified phase for bets to stand. If no lap time is recorded by any driver, all bets will be void.

The 'field' includes any driver who is not listed in the outright odds. Any drivers who fail to qualify for the race will be deemed as non-runners. The race must be run within 24 hours of the scheduled ‘off’ time for bets to stand. The official NASCAR/IndyCar winner of the race will be settled as the winner for betting purposes, this includes all races which are halted prematurely.

Both riders must start for bets to stand. If both riders fail to complete the race, the rider completing more laps will be deemed the winner, if both riders have completed the same number of laps, bets will be void. Subsequent penalties or demotions will not affect bet settlement.
