 Play NOW bet365 bet365 Group Limited Sportsbook Réguas Do Jogo As the governing body of the sport, the FIFA is responsible for ensuring the uniformity of the rules of the game.Bet acceptance Bets are only accepted on soccer matches which are displayed on our website and all winning bets will be settled at odds based on the individual prices shown. If a bet is accepted which includes a match for which a price has not been quoted, that match will be treated as a Non-Runner, and the bet will be settled on the remaining selections. Singles and upwards are accepted on all soccer matches displayed on our website. All prices are subject to fluctuation at all times and without notice. Settlement will be made at the price available at the time the bet was placed and confirmed. '90 minutes play' All match odds are based on the result at the end of a scheduled '90 minutes' play, unless otherwise stated. Bets are settled on the score standing at the end of the scheduled '90 minutes' including any added injury or stoppage time. This scheduled period does not include extra time, time allocated for a penalty shoot out or golden goal. Extra time prices may be introduced at the end of the scheduled period. Matches postponed, brought forward or abandoned An unplayed or postponed match will be treated as a 'non-runner' for settling purposes unless it is played within the same week (ending on Sunday), in which case the bet will stand unless cancelled by mutual consent. If a match is rescheduled from the weekend to a Monday night for the purpose of live TV coverage, all bets on that match will stand. Should any match(es) listed on the website coupon be played prior to the date or kick-off time denoted, any such match(es) may be included provided the wager is placed not later than the revised kick-off time. Any soccer match abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes play will be void, (unless the match is rearranged and played the following day in which case bets will stand) except for those bets the outcome of which has already been determined at the time of abandonment. For example, First Player to Score or Time of the First Goal bets will stand provided a goal has been scored at the time of abandonment. The only exception to the above abandoned match rule is for all South American domestic matches, where all bets will be settled on the score at the time of the abandonment, providing the relevant league allows the result to stand. The score at the end of 90 minutes play will be taken as the final result. Extra time will not be considered as part of a match. 'Results' issued by the Pools Panel on postponed matches are not admissible and such matches are void. Matches not played as listed Where the venue of any arranged match is changed the selection will be void. Settlement of wagers Where applicable, statistics provided by the Press Association (PA) will be used to settle wagers. The PA is the national agency which supplies match statistics and reports to the media and has representatives at every match, including International and European fixtures. First/last player to score Bets are accepted on 90 minutes play only. First and last scorer bets are settled in accordance with the players named by the official representatives of the Press Association in attendance at the match. Every effort will be made to quote First/Last Player to Score odds for all possible participants. However, players not originally quoted will count as winners should they score the first/last goal. Bets on players not taking part in the match will be void as will bets on 'first player to score' where the selection comes on after the first goal is scored. All players that take part in a match will be considered 'runners' for last player to score purposes. If the PA does not produce statistics giving the names of the goalscorers for matches outside the UK, then settlement will be based on information obtained from the national newspapers of the relevant country. Subsequent enquiries by official bodies will not be considered for settlement purposes. Please note that 'own goals do not count' in the settlement of bets. Player to score at any time Bets are accepted on 90 minutes play only. Bets will be offered on selected matches where a player can be nominated to score a goal. All players who take part in a match will be considered 'runners'. In the event of 'non-runners', singles will be void and accumulative bets will be settled on the remaining selections. Any selections taken from a match that is not completed will be treated as a non-runner. Please note that 'own goals do not count' in the settlement of bets. First team to score in the Premiership Only teams taken from English Premiership matches with the same scheduled kick-off time will be quoted, although allowances will be made for matches that start late. For example: Arsenal K.O. 3.00pm - time of first goal 3.05pm: Liverpool scheduled K.O. 3.00pm - actual K.O. 3.15pm - time of first goal 3.17pm. Bets on Liverpool will be treated as winners because they scored two minutes after the start whereas Arsenal did not score until five minutes after the start. In the event of a dispute over the time of the first goal, bets will be settled using statistics provided by the PA. If a match is abandoned after the first goal in the Premiership is scored, all bets stand. In the event of one match listed for 'first team to score in the Premiership' being postponed, bets on the teams involved in that match are void, and the bets on teams in remaining matches will stand. If two or more of the matches listed for 'first team to score in the Premiership' are postponed, all bets will be void. Please note that 'own goals count' in the settlement of bets. Dead-heat rules apply. Time of the first goal (90 minutes play only) Should a dispute arise as to the time of the first goal, the time printed in the statistics provided by the PA will be deemed the time for settlement purposes. Singles and upwards are available on selected matches. If a match is abandoned after the first goal is scored, all bets stand. If a match is abandoned before the first goal is scored all bets accepted for time bands that have been completed will be considered losing bets and any other time band which included the time band of the abandonment will be void and treated as non runners. Divisional betting In divisional betting, the finishing position of teams at the end of the scheduled programme of matches will determine placings with no allowance for play-offs or subsequent enquiries by the respective leagues. Bets will stand on any team which does not complete all of its fixtures. Season match bets/team points totals If any team does not complete all its fixtures, all match bets and team points total bets involving that team, will be made void, win or lose.

Soccer statistics Total corners, corners in second half Select the number of corners taken either as exact amounts (e.g. 8 corners) or in bands (e.g. 12-14 corners). Corners awarded but not taken do not count. Bets will stand providing the whole match (or second-half in the event of second-half bets) is shown live on terrestrial, satellite or interactive TV (or a combination of). If a game is not shown in full live on terrestrial, satellite or interactive TV then bets placed on that game will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined based on the live coverage. In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played, all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined. Total goals In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined. Where a Total Goals market is offered on a group of matches (e.g. number of goals in the Premiership league) two goals shall be allocated to a postponed or abandoned match. If two or more matches are postponed in the same market then all bets will be declared void. Goals over/under A price is offered for selected matches on whether there will be under or over 2.5 goals in a match. 90 minutes play only. In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played, all bets will be void unless settlement of bets is already determined. Total goal minutes 90 minutes play only. Predict the aggregate time of all goals scored in the match, eg. goals in the 24th, 51st and 59th minutes make up at 134 minutes. Any goals scored in first half added time count as 45, and any goals scored in second half added time count as 90. Should a dispute arise as to the time of any goal, the time printed in the statistics provided by the PA will be deemed the time for settlement purposes. If a match is abandoned, all bets will be made void apart from those that have already made up (eg. goals in minutes 40, 45 and 60 and abandonment in 65th minute, bets predicting over 140 total goal minutes will be paid out as winners, whilst under and bracket bets will be losers). Total bookings 10 points are awarded for a yellow card and 25 points for a red card. The maximum points per player per match is 35 (25+10) regardless of whether the player is shown 2 yellow cards and then a red card. Winning bets select the band (e.g. 45-50) within which the eventual make up falls. Settlement will be made with reference to all available evidence and will be made with reference to cards shown during the scheduled 90 minutes play. Extra time does not count. Any card shown after the full time whistle has been blown will be disregarded. Markets involving the incidence of cards shown to players during an individual match are traded and settled by reference to all available evidence but are settled on the official result when available from the soccer authority responsible for organising the match. Cards shown to non-players (e.g. managers or substitutes who play no subsequent part in the game) do not count towards the total. In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played, all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined. Next card betting Select the team which will receive the next card (either red or yellow), or no next card. Only players on the pitch count. In the event of two or more players being booked for the same incident, the player who is first shown a card by the referee will be deemed as the 'winner' for settlement purposes. Total shirt numbers Winning bets select the aggregate of shirt numbers of the goalscorers in a match or matches. If any goal is an own goal, the shirt number of the scorer of the own goal will be counted. It will count towards the side which is credited with the goal. Note, this is different from the ruling for 'First Player to Score'. In the event of uncertainty about who scored a goal, settlement will be determined by the Press Association. For the purposes of any bet about shirt numbers, a player will be deemed to wear throughout the game the shirt worn at the start of play (or, in the case of a substitute, when he comes on to the pitch). Any player whose shirt bears no number on his first joining the field of play will be allocated number 12. In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played, all bets will be void, unless settlement of bets is already determined. Supremacy Where a goal supremacy market is offered on a group of matches (e.g. a home goals versus away goals market) if one or more matches are abandoned then all bets on that market will be void. Team to score first/second/next goal Own goals count to the side credited with the goal. Second half bets Bets predicting the result at the end of normal time will be available on selected matches during the half-time break. In the event of a match being abandoned prior to the end of the second half, match bets will be void. Other second half bets may sometimes be available, eg first second half scorer, or number of second half goals. In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played, these bets will be void unless settlement of bets is already determined. First player to score/correct score double (scorecasts) All bets 90 minutes play only. Bets will be accepted at a specially combined price. If a player takes the field after a goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, such bets will be settled as a single on the selected correct score at the appropriate odds. If a match is abandoned after a goal has been scored all bets will be settled as singles on the selected first goalscorer at the appropriate odds. Should the first goal of the match be an own goal, bets will be settled on the next goalscorer and the correct score. If the only goals in the match are own goals, all bets will be settled as singles on the selected correct score at the appropriate odds. Occurrences in a league or cup competition (e.g. total goals or total yellow cards) In the case of a bet offering for the total number of occurrences such as Goals or Yellow Cards which occur in a competition or tournament, extra time will be ignored, except where the contrary is clearly stated. For example, totals of World Cup goals are calculated by reference to the result in normal time in each completed constituent match. This is by way of contrast to markets which will be settled according to the ultimate result of the competition and so will be affected by what occurs in extra time. Bonuses and consolations We accept Lucky 15/31/63 bets on correct scores offering a win single settled at double odds if only one score is correctly predicted. Bonuses will be added to your return if all scores are correct. Otherwise, bonuses and consolations e.g., Lucky 15's, do not apply to other soccer bets or ante-post soccer betting, unless specified. Season specials Bets settled on final league position/points total; play off points do not count except where specifically mentioned in the individual special. Player scorer specials are settled on the number of relevant goals scored for the indicated club, with any goals scored for other clubs not counting. Any player quoted in a scorer special not registered with the indicated club on the opening day of the team's soccer season, will be void and rule 4 will apply to the remaining players in the group. In the event of a tie, dead heat rules apply. Match specials Player specials are void if the player takes no part in the game, unless otherwise stated. Bets are settled on the result at the end of 90 minutes play, with any extra time, golden goals or penalty shoot outs not counting unless stated. Where more than one participant is quoted in a special, and non-runners are involved, the bet stands on the remaining participant(s) if a price is available. For the bet 'to score the team's winner' to be successful, the player's team must win by exactly one goal and the nominated player score the last goal. When a team or player is priced up to beat or out-score another, it is settled on the current weekend's/midweek's matches unless stated otherwise. For settlement purposes, the first player sent off will be deemed to be the first player booked, if no player has been booked previously in the match. For a team to win 'both halves' of a match please note that the team must score more goals than the opposition in both halves of the match. For a team to score/miss a penalty, all bets are 90 minutes play only. |
