5. BOOKMAKER ACCOUNTS & BETTING RULES


5.1. Single Bets placed with Bookmaker accounts

  1. By placing Bets and utilising other online services (e.g. retrieving account balances and/or transaction history) provided by Bookmakers you confirm that you agree to the terms and conditions and betting rules of the Bookmaker. Where there are discrepancies between these Terms (specifically the terms that relate directly to Bookmakers) and the terms and conditions and betting rules of the Bookmaker, then the terms and conditions and betting rules of the Bookmaker shall prevail. A link to the terms and conditions of each of the Bookmakers we provide you with access to can be requested at any time.
  2. A bet will be deemed to be accepted once the Bookmaker provides a confirmation number or reference. A bet submitted by you but not yet confirmed may not be cancelled by you.
  3. The amount you may bet in any single transaction will either be specified in the betting rules of the Bookmaker or by the Bookmaker when you place your bet. Bookmakers may accept or decline the whole or any part of your bet up until they issue their confirmation.
  4. The availability of a betting event does not guarantee the continued availability of this event for betting purposes. Bookmakers reserve the right to suspend or cancel betting events at any time and at their sole discretion.
  5. You are fully responsible and liable for all Bets and for all related profits, losses and other liabilities, including (without limitation) choice of Bets, accuracy, amounts staked and setting and/or compliance with applicable betting limits. You understand and accept that you may lose money on Bets and that you bear full responsibility for all and any losses. Under no circumstances will we or our partner Bookmakers be liable for such losses.
  6. Bets will be settled in accordance with the official result as determined by the relevant sports federation or governing body. In the absence of such ruling, results shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Bookmaker.
  7. You fully understand and agree that when using Sportmarket Pro the platform will communicate with the bookmakers’ system adding another step in the placement process, compared to you placing a bet directly with a bookmaker. This by default means that there is a slightly increased risk for any errors taking place and/or the bets being presented incorrectly in Sportmarket Pro.
  8. You fully understand and accept that Sportmarket Pro may not always be able to display changes made by the bookmakers regarding a bet (for example a bet being voided pre-start) until the bet is graded and reconciled.
  9. The information available via Sportmarket Pro relating to the indicative price and volume offered by bookmakers (Offers) is provided on an ‘as is’ basis and Sportmarket makes no representations and gives no warranties in respect of the accuracy of that information.
  10. You accept that Sportmarket shall have no liability for inaccuracies in Offers, save where the inaccuracy results from the negligence of Sportmarket. You accept that all Offers are invitations only, so that we are not able to guarantee the availability or currency of the Offer when you come to execute the Bet.
  11. You understand and accept that it is always the bet as placed with the bookmaker (and their handling and grading of the bet) that is your bet and will determine the change in your account balance. This applies regardless if Sportmarket has presented the bet (including team names, starting dates and current score for live bets) or the status of the bet incorrectly.
  12. Sportmarket reserves the right to lay part of any bet together with a Bookmaker. This part of the bet will be settled under the rules of the Bookmaker that accepted the bet.

5.2. Accumulator (Mutiple) Bets placed with Sportmarket

  1. An Accumulator bet is a bet that combines two or more selections into a single wager. If all selections should win then the Accumulator wins and will be paid at the combined odds of the two or more selections. If one (or more) selection should fail to win then the Accumulator loses.
  2. All Accumulator bets are placed with Sportmarket.
  3. We reserve the right to limit the range of events for which Accumulator bets will be available.
  4. The maximum bet of an Accumulator, which will be determined at our discretion, will be displayed in the betslip. Minimum bet requirements may also apply.
  5. The maximum net winnings payout limit for Accumulator bets in one calendar day (GMT) is €50,000 (or currency equivalent). Net winnings is the aggregate amount of all profits and losses from Accumulator bets settled during the period. Settlement time of each Accumulator is defined by the time when the Accumulator is settled by us. Accumulator bets will generally be settled shortly after the outcome of the Accumulator has been determined (i.e. after the first losing leg has lost or after the final winning leg has won). However, we make no guarantees regarding the settlement time of Accumulator bets.
  6. The maximum net winnings payout limit applies to any one customer or group of customers acting together, backing the same combination of selections, regardless of whether or not such bets are struck separately, at a range of different prices, on different days and through a number of different accounts. If we believe that a number of bets have been placed in this way, the total payment of all those bets combined will be limited to one single maximum payout.
  7. Legs will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant leg in order to correct an error in reporting the result).
  8. If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the result will be determined using information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement, then we shall (acting reasonably) determine either:
    • whether bets should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or
    • whether or not to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle legs. Any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by us (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).
  9. In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, we reserve the right to suspend settlement of any leg for an unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to our satisfaction. We reserve the right to void any legs where the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.
  10. In the event of a change in venue we reserve the right to void legs where there is a reasonable difference to the probability of outcomes as a result of this change, which we will determine at our own discretion.
  11. In case of postponement, if an event does not start as scheduled, and does not start the same day (local time of the event) then the postponed leg or legs will be void and the Accumulator will be recalculated, with the odds reduced, based on the remaining live legs.
  12. Maximum and minimum leg requirements may apply.
  13. We reserve the right to reverse or amend settlement in the event of an Accumulator being settled incorrectly. This may lead to amendments being made to your account to reflect changes in settlement and if there are insufficient funds in your account we may demand that you put funds into your account to address the outstanding balance.
  14. The odds for each selection in an Accumulator may be rounded for display purposes (e.g. rounded to two decimal places). However, when calculating the payout of an Accumulator we will use the exact odds of each selection to determine the exact payout.
  15. We may limit or not allow same game Accumulators on specific games at our discretion.
  16. We reserve the right to cancel same game Accumulator bets if we find this bet option is being abused.
  17. If one or more legs, or partial legs, of the Accumulator are either a push, cancellation, or otherwise void for any reason, the Accumulator will be recalculated, with the odds reduced, based on the remaining live legs. For example, if one (or more) selections should void then the odds for that selection will revert to odds of 1.00.

5.3. Using the Cashout feature

  1. Cashout is an easy way to level or flatten the expected profit loss on an event or market.
  2. All Cashout bets are struck between Sportmarket and the Customer.
  3. If you click the Cashout button on the website for a particular event or market, you will automatically place a further bet that will attempt to lock in an even payout across all potential outcomes.
  4. If a Cashout bet is requested in a live betting market, there will be a fixed delay before the success or failure of the Cashout bet is confirmed.
  5. All Cashout bets will show as the bookie labelled “Cashout”.
  6. Your request to Cashout is not guaranteed to be accepted and may be unsuccessful if, for example, betting is suspended at the point of placement or the odds move before your request has been processed.
  7. In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, we reserve the right to suspend or reverse settlement of any Cashout bet until the uncertainty can be resolved to our satisfaction. We reserve the right to void any Cashout bet where the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.
  8. In the event you place a Cashout bet on a position and other bets placed on the event are voided, for example another Bookmaker voids, we reserve the right to review the Cashout bet and resettle or void it.
  9. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of Cashout bets when an event is settled in error. Or if the bet, market or event is subsequently resettled.
  10. If for any reason a Cashout bet is re-settled, your balance will be updated to reflect the final outcome of your bets.
  11. Cashout will not be available on every event.
  12. The ability to partially place a Cashout order on an open position may be available on some events or markets. The terms set out in the section apply to partial Cashout bets in exactly the same way as for full Cashout bets.


6. ERRORS, DISPUTES, CANCELLATIONS & VOIDS


6.1. If funds are credited or deducted to/from your balance in error, we will notify you as soon as this comes to our attention and reverse the transaction. Where funds credited to you in error have already been withdrawn by you or paid to you then you will hold those funds on trust until such time as the error has been properly resolved.

6.2. In some cases it will be clear that Bets have been placed and/or accepted in error. Circumstances that represent an error include:

  1. The prices and/or conditions of a Bet are clearly wrong
  2. Bookmaker accounts or systems are clearly not performing properly
  3. Bets are accepted by Bookmakers even though it is clear that the expiry date for placing that bet has passed

In these circumstances our partner Bookmakers may either correct the error and deal with the Bet(s) on the basis of the corrected positions or declare the bet void.

6.3. Bookmakers may from time to time void an individual Bet, group of Bets, or all Bets on a given selection or event, at their sole discretion. Ordinarily Bets will be void due to (but not limited to) system errors, suspicious betting activity or event cancellation or postponement.

6.4. Bookmakers reserve the right to void Bets if the Bookmaker knows or reasonably suspects that an event on which a Bet is made has been fixed or if there is any other form of match-fixing.

6.5. Where there is a discrepancy between the time of Bet placement as recorded by your own system and the time the Bet request was received by the Bookmaker according to the Bookmaker’s records, the Bookmaker’s record will be deemed to the be the accurate record of the time the Bet was placed.
