Sports Rules

Scope and Application

These Sports Rules govern all wagers accepted by T20fun on sporting events offered by the operator. They apply to all prematch and in‑play markets unless a specific market description or event rule states otherwise. Local law governs all aspects of play, settlement and liability where applicable. In the event of a conflict between these Rules and a market description, the market description governs to the extent of the inconsistency.

Definitions and Key Terms

  • Official Result: the publicly announced outcome used to determine the settlement of bets, as published by the relevant governing body or official competition source.
  • No Action: a rule whereby a bet is cancelled and stakes refunded due to event conditions or market terms as defined herein.
  • Suspended/Abandoned: a match or event that is halted and not completed on the day of commencement or within the applicable window as described in market rules.
  • Action Line: a wager type based on the event outcome regardless of changes to listed participants or participants’ status under standard market rules.
  • Mercy Rule: a rule that causes certain wagers to become automatically settled or held pending depending on event status and governing competition rules.
  • Play‑or‑Pay: a rule applicable to certain outright markets whereby bets remain active or are settled irrespective of a participant’s withdrawal, with specified adjustments as described in the outright section.

General Settlement Principles

Settlements are determined by the official results and the rules contained herein. The operator may void or adjust bets where there is a palpable error in event wording or odds, or other material mispricing. Bets not determined by the end of normal competition duration may be settled per market description if applicable, or remain pending and settle upon official conclusion where stated.

  • Markets settle when an official result is declared. If a result is declared by the governing body after a match concludes, settlements follow the official result and any tied markets are resolved accordingly.
  • If an event is postponed, suspended, or not completed within the stated timeframe, bets may be declared No Action or may carry forward in accordance with the event’s governing rules and the operator’s market description, subject to a 48‑hour window where applicable.
  • For markets that explicitly reference overtime, extra time or additional periods, such periods are included for settlement where the market description so specifies.
  • Wagers on events with a clearly invalid or incorrect matchup, or on events compromised by technical error, may be cancelled or settled as No Action at the operator’s discretion.

Event Suspension, Postponement and Abandonment

In the event of postponement or abandonment, non‑completed markets will be treated as No Action or settled in accordance with the market description once the event is officially concluded or canceled. If an event is resumed, continued, or completed within the specified window, wagers may remain actionable, subject to the details of the market and governing competition rules. If an event is not resumed within the customary window, bets may be voided and stakes refunded unless a different settlement is described in the market terms.

  • Markets on postponed events that begin within 48 hours of the original start time may remain active; those not resumed within 48 hours may be voided with stakes refunded.
  • Bets on markets related to qualifications, advancement or outright winners may be void if the event is postponed beyond the period where a decision is possible under the governing body’s timetable, unless markets are explicitly stated as continuing.

Sport‑Specific Rules

American Football

Wagers on professional and college football are deemed official after the standard game duration, with provisions for overtime as described in the market. Second‑half and overtime outcomes are included for team totals where the market description requires. Quarter and half markets settle based on completed periods, unless overtime is expressly included. If a game is completed with overtime or is suspended and resumed, the market may be adjusted to reflect the final official result.

Basketball

Basketball markets follow the official game duration for action. For standard markets, the game is official after the required number of minutes has elapsed. Second‑half and overtime are included in team totals where described. Double result, margins of victory and overtime‑inclusive markets settle according to the final official result, including overtime where specified.

Baseball

Baseball events are official after the minimum required innings: typically five innings for standard moneyline, with the home team leading conditions affecting action. Run lines and totals reflect the full nine innings (or eight and a half if the home team is ahead). In suspended games, the score used for settlement is determined by the last complete inning, unless the home team ties or takes the lead in the bottom of a later inning. Postseason and designated tournaments may have special rules as stated in the market description. Pitcher‑related markets require listed pitchers to start in order for action; otherwise wagers may be No Action or adjusted as described in the market terms. Grand Salami and league‑specific variants settle based on games progressing the full inning requirements for the league involved.

Soccer/Football

Soccer markets settle after the standard 90 minutes of normal time unless the market includes extra time or penalties. If a match is suspended and not completed on the same day, wagers on the match outcome are void and bets refunded, unless the market description provides otherwise. Wagers on goals, totals and handicaps reflect the official result including any added time as specified by the market. In events such as cup ties decided by extra time or penalties, the market settlement follows the rules described in the market description unless a governing body’s official result dictates otherwise.

Hockey

Hockey markets are official after 55 minutes of play for the primary result. Wagers may be offered as complete game results or in split formats such as moneyline, puck line and totals. If a game is decided in overtime or a shootout, the margin and winner are adjusted to reflect the official final score as published by the governing body or league source.

Tennis

Tennis markets settle based on the official score at the conclusion of play, with exceptions for retirements or defaults as described in the market. First/Last/Anytime scorer style markets apply only to regular time; sets and games settled as per the official score, with specific exclusions for retirement or default that would void the relevant market element.

Outright Markets and Play‑or‑Pay

Outright markets (short and long term) operate under a Play‑or‑Pay rule. Bets on listed participants stand and settle normally even if the listed participant is unable to compete, unless the market expressly excludes such treatment. Head‑to‑head markets are excluded from this rule; if a listed participant withdraws, related markets may be voided as described in the market terms. If a replacement occurs within the same team or participant, team markets may stand while individual markets may be void.

Player Props and Special Markets

Player prop markets include First Scorer, Last Scorer and Anytime Scorer. These markets apply to regular time unless the market specifies otherwise. Own goals are treated as non‑scoring events for the purposes of scorer markets unless otherwise stated. If a match is abandoned after a scorer has occurred, bets on the first scorer may stand while some related markets may be voided as described in the market terms.

Video Assistant Referee and Official Decisions

Where an official decision is augmented or overturned by video review, settlements reflect the moment of the original incident and the final decision, subject to markets that specify otherwise. If the VAR decision does not change the market outcome, settlements remain as originally posted. The operator may revise settlements if a final decision from the governing body alters the result and is communicated before the closure of the event window.

Odds, Rounding and Settlement Timing

Odds are presented with decimal precision as described in market terms. The operator applies truncation or rounding rules to display and calculate winnings, with the total winnings truncated to two decimal places. Settlement timeframes may extend up to 30 days from the moment of the initial settlement, to address any post‑event adjustments or corrections as permitted by applicable regulations.

Format and Market Availability

The operator supports multiple match formats for live and pre‑match bets; wagers on formats outside the defined ranges may be declared No Action. If a format change occurs during an event, settlements follow the prevailing format rules described in the market terms and the governing competition rules.

Discretion, Amendments and Dispute Resolution

The operator reserves the right to amend, suspend or cancel markets in the event of technical errors, irregularities, or other issues affecting market integrity. Where disputes arise, the operator will rely on official league or governing body sources for final determinations, subject to the operator’s internal policies and applicable laws.
