5. Resulting and Settlement of Bets

5.1 Resulting Sources

Unless otherwise stated markets are resulted as per the results and statistics published by the official governing body for the event. Should there be substantial evidence that a result or statistic has been published incorrectly the market will be resulted after consultation with the governing body.

5.2 Subsequent amendments after the Official Result is announced

Unless otherwise stated the official result announced at the completion of an event will be the sole result considered for the settlement of markets. Disqualifications or penalties occurred after official results are announced, positive drug testing results, rule breaches will not count towards settlement of that market. This rule ensures finality of a market when an event is completed and is consistent across all wagering providers.

5.3 Completed Markets within an abandoned Event

Unless otherwise stated a market will be considered ended once the outcome of the market has been unequivocally determined. This rule often applies to markets where total points or statistics are involved. Should an event be abandoned after the result of the individual market has been determined the results will stand for settlement purposes.

5.4 Settlement Times

Dabble will endeavour to result and settle markets as soon as the event is completed, or the result of an individual market has been determined. Please note however our resulting sources must be able to confirm an official result before markets are settled to ensure resulting and settlement accuracy. Unfortunately, delays may occur on occasions where there is a delay in the announcement/ publication of an official result.

5.4.1 Bets on AFL/NRL Supercoach, AFL/NRL Fantasy and any other fantasy-based markets will not be resulted, and bets settled until the official scores are finalised, typically no longer than 30 minutes after the completion of matches.

5.4.2 Bets on lower league or lower tier levels within a sport (for example second or third tier national soccer leagues & ITF tennis may suffer from delays in bet settlement due to delays in the publication of official results.

5.4.3 Dabble will actively seek to verify results from alternate sources should delays in the publication of official results become unreasonable in relation to the time the event has ended.

6. Bet Type Rules

6.1 Team to Win Both Halves

You are betting on the winner of each half of the match. For the purposes of this market the score is theoretically reset at the end of the First Half. The 1st and 2nd half scores are treated as 2 separate events. A draw in either half will result in bets on the team selected resulting as a loss. This is distinct from the Half-Time/Full-Time market which is explained in below.

6.2 Half Time/Full Time

You are betting on which team will win the first half (the team leading at half time) and which team will win the match. Where we offer two-way betting on the match result, without a draw price quoted, then bets will be settled on the eventual winner of the match, including any overtime/extra-time played.

6.3 Futures/Outright Betting

Unless stated otherwise all bets will stand regardless of postponements unless the official governing body declares that the tournament/competition has been cancelled and no official winner will be declared. In this case all bets will be void and stakes returned.

All Futures/Outright markets are offered on an ‘all in’ basis as described in Part A, Section 3 unless otherwise stated.

6.4 Quote Others/All In Markets

When a market is offered on a ‘Quote Others’ or ‘all in’ basis, or all competitors or possible competitors are not quoted within a market then the market will be settled on the actual winner, or placings, where each-way and place betting is offered, regardless of whether or not the winner or place getters have been quoted in the market.

If you wish to have a team or competitor added to a market, please contact Dabble by calling 1800 DABBLE, Live Chat, or email [email protected] quoting the event and the team/competitor you would like added to the market.

6.5 Same Game Multi (SGM)

6.5.1 A Same Game Multi (SGM) is a multi bet placed on a single match or game. Dabble will offer SGM on selected Sports, including AFL and NRL.

6.5.2 The Same Game Multi price quoted will not be a straight multiplication of the individual prices quoted as the selected legs are often related. The relationship of the legs will determine how much smaller, or sometimes bigger, the SGM multi odds are than the odds of the straight multiplication of the individual legs.

6.5.3 The maximum odds of an SGM is $2501

6.5.4 The maximum number of legs in an SGM is 25

6.5.5 The maximum payout for a single, or multiple SGM's with the exact same selections is $20,000

6.6 SGM Tracker

6.6.1 SGM Tracker provides valuable information, including real-time updates on the statistics related to your bet.6.6.2 SGM Tracker data is indicative only. Any display of player or match performance information whether in-play or post-match is provided solely for informational purposes.6.6.3 Please note the SGM Tracker is intended as a guide only, and should not be considered the definitive source for determining bet outcomes. All statistics and results are cross referenced and determined based on official data from trusted sites and sources.6.6.4 Bet settlements are based on official results from official providers, or other trusted score networks.

7. Maximum Payouts

Individual Sports and leagues, tournaments or events within a particular sport have a maximum payout limit as described under each individual sport. The maximum payouts refer to the maximum winnings per client per day on any individual sport and are expressed in Australian Dollars (AUD).

8. Individual Sports Rules
