Settlement of Wagers

Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture 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.

General

Bets on postponed fights will stand for 30 days, unless stated otherwise. If either fighter is replaced with another fighter all bets will be void and stakes returned.

Fights where betting is offered before the exact official fight date is known, will be listed on site under the 31st December, until an official date announcement is made.

Bets on these fights will stand, as long as the fight takes place in the current year, or within the following calendar year e.g. bets placed on a fight listed on site under 31st December 2020, stand as long as the fight takes place up to and including 31st December 2021; after which point bets will be void and stakes returned. Where a fight is cancelled before an official date is announced bets will be void and stakes returned.

Once such a fight has an official fight date confirmed then bets placed on the fixture listed under the announced date will be subject to the 30 day rule as normal.

For betting purposes the fight is deemed to have started when the bell is sounded for the beginning of the 1st round.

If either fighter fails to answer the bell for the next round then his opponent will be deemed to have won in the previous round.

In the event of a fight being declared a No Contest all bets will be void and stakes returned, with the exception of markets where the outcome has already been determined.

Bets will be settled on the result declared at the end of the fight by the official announcer. Subsequent appeals/amendments do not affect settlement (unless the amendment was made due to human error when announcing the result). If the official announcer does not declare a result at the end of a fight, markets will be settled on the result displayed on the applicable organisation's official site.

If the scheduled length of rounds for a fight are changed e.g. reduced from 3 minute rounds to 2 minute rounds (but the number of scheduled rounds remain the same); then bets on all markets will stand.

To Win the Fight
