Badminton
General
The following rules include reasons for voiding bets.
A match will be deemed to have begun once the first serve has been struck.
If any of the named players in a match change before the match starts, then all bets on that match will be void.
If a bet is placed after the relevant result or outcome is known, then the bet will be void.
Abandonments, Cancellations and Postponements
If a match is abandoned, postponed or cancelled, all bets will be void unless the event is completed at the same venue within 24 hours of the original start time.
Non-Runners, Withdrawals and Disqualifications
If a player or team is withdrawn prior to the start of an event, all bets will be void. We may apply the equivalent of a Tattersalls Rule 4(c) deduction to any winnings from bets on the event’s remaining participants (based on the odds of the participant that is withdrawn).
If a player is given a walkover, bets on that match will be void.
Correct Score Markets
In the event of a disqualification or retirement from a match or an abandonment of a match, all bets on the correct score of that match will be void.
If during a match, there is a change to the total number of sets to be played, all bets on the Correct Score of that match will be void (but all other markets involving the relevant match will stand).
The number first appearing in the score is the score of the home player, and the number appearing second is the score of the away player.
Handicap, Totals and Current Game Markets
Following either a disqualification or retirement from a match or an abandonment of a match, all bets on these markets will be void other than those markets that have already been unconditionally determined.
Winner of 3rd Set
Bets on Set 3 will be void if the set is never played.
Race to X Points
Bets will be void if the specified point milestone is never reached.
The Sportsbook General Rules will apply for any category of bets or markets not referred to in these Specific Sports Rules.
