Settlement of Wagers

Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or event will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.

In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.

Overall Markets (including Futures/Podium; excluding Winning Margin)

For multi-stage events, for example, Ski Jumping – 4 Hills; settlement will be based on the official final ranking published by the governing body, irrespective of whether or not all scheduled events are held, providing one stage is completed in full. Where Overall markets are revised in between stages, bets placed after the final completed stage will be deemed no action.

Event Markets (including Futures/Podium/Winning Continent/Winning Nationality)

All bets are settled on the official results/rankings of the International Ski Federation (FIS), the International Skating Union (ISU), the International Biathlon Union (IBU), the Official Olympic Committee or any official body deemed to have such authority for competitions and take into account any inquiries/jury-decisions made within 24 hours, of the respective event start time. Beyond this time frame, subsequent inquiries, disqualifications, and/or appeals will not affect bets.

If the conditions of a specific event are changed from those originally listed by the official governing body, then bets will be deemed no action, unless settlement of the bet(s) is already determined. This includes:

Altered official distance (excluding Alpine Skiing). (Note: for Cross-Country and Biathlon bets will be deemed no action if the official (listed) distance is changed, but will stand if the actual course distance is changed).

Fewer rounds or order of events, with the exception of Ski Jumping events, where results will stand for markets providing one round is completed in full (including if the event/round is subject to a re-start, but excluding Winning Margin - see below rule). Specifically for Live In Game Ski Jumping, if an event is abandoned during the 2nd round (meaning that 1st round results become the official event result), then any bets placed after the completion of the 1st round will be deemed no action.

If a specific event (determined as: after a final competitor list is known) is suspended or postponed, bets remain valid provided that the event is completed on the same run/same venue within 36 hours (with the exception of Winter Olympic and World Championship events). If the event takes place on a different run/venue, bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned.

Participants must pass starting line/gate for bets to stand. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned. In the case of a competitor withdrawing/being disqualified prior to the specific event, a Rule 4 (Deductions) may be applied to bets. Bets on any participant who takes part in qualifying for a specified event but then fails to qualify for the main Round(s) will be classed as losers.

For settlement purposes, the result is at the time of the podium presentation. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect bets.

Specifically for Nordic Combined betting, if the results of the provisional competition round are used for the start of the cross country race, all event bets are deemed no action.

For overall matchups in multi-stage events, for example Ski Jumping – 4 Hills, one of the listed participants in a match must complete the event for bets to stand. Where overall matchups are revised and offered in between stages, bets will be deemed no action if after bet placement one or both of the listed participants take no further part in the competition.

Winning Margin

Bets will be settled on the winning intervals/ranges listed by an event's official governing body. If the conditions of a specific event are changed from those originally listed by the official governing body, then bets will be void (e.g., shorter course distances/fewer rounds or jumps/order of events).

If two or more participants dead-heat for first place, the winning margin will be determined as the winning interval/range between first place and the next finishing position. E.g., two participants tie for first place, the winning margin will be the interval/range between those and the participant in third place.

Finishing Position

If a participant fails to finish the specified the event, then the result will be settled as the “X” Position or worse option.

Qualification Markets

Where markets are offered (including match betting) specifically relating to qualifying stages/rounds, the results of the official governing bodies are used. Qualification rankings are dependent on times/distances and/or points (FIS), where appropriate. (In the event of two participants getting the same time, the winner will be deemed the participant with the least FIS points). Where FIS points are not applicable, participants with the same time/distance will be settled as a Push.

Medal Specials

The quoted athlete must start at least one race in the specified competition (e.g., Olympics) for bets to stand (qualifying counts as started). Unless otherwise stated, team medals count.
