Bet Settlement

All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown on Sportingbet at the time the bet was accepted.

Abandoned Matches/Retirements

If a match is abandoned or a player retires, all bets will be void, unless the bet has already reached its natural conclusion. Bets on Match Prices will stand if one set has been completed, otherwise these bets will be void.

Postponed/Rearranged Matches

In the event of the following circumstances taking place, all bets will stand:

• A change of playing surface

• A change of venue

• A change from indoor court to outdoor court or vice versa

• A match being played or continuing into a subsequent day

Match Prices

Winning bets must predict the winner of the match.

In the event of a match being awarded to a player for whatever reason before the full number of sets have been played, but at least one set has been completed, all bets will stand on the player officially going through to the next round or declared as the winner of the tournament.

In the event of a change in the official total number of sets played in a match, all bets will stand.

Game Handicap Prices

Winning bets must predict the player who wins the most number of games after their total has been adjusted by the handicap.

In the event that there is no outright winner after the adjustment of the handicap, all bets will be void.

Total Game Prices

Winning bets must predict whether the total number of games in a match is above or below a listed handicap.

In the event that the total number of games is identical to the handicap, all bets will be void.

Ace Handicap Prices

Winning bets must predict the player who serves the most number of aces after the total has been adjusted by the handicap.

In the event that there is no outright winner after the adjustment of the handicap, all bets will be void.

Winning bets must predict the exact score between the players.

The full number of sets required to win the match must be achieved for set betting bets to stand, otherwise bets will be void. 
In the event of a change in the official total number of sets played in the match, all bets will be void.

Game Prices

Winning bets must predict the winner of the game.

If a game is not completed for whatever reason, bets will be settled based on the player who is awarded the game. 
Sportingbet decisions in respect of the settlement of bets on Game Prices will be final.

Number Of Games In A Set/Correct Score

Winning bets predict the number of games in a given set or the margin of victory in a set.

If the set is not completed for whatever reason, all bets for that set will be void.

If the match is abandoned after the completion of the set all bets for the previous set will stand.

A tie break is considered as one game for settlement purposes.

Aces/Double Faults in Game

Winning bets must predict the number of aces or double faults in the relevant game.

If a match is abandoned for any reason, bets will be void unless the bet has already been settled.

Sportingbet will look at all available evidence to determine the result of these bets in order to make a fair determination of whether the service was in fact an ace/double fault. Our decision in respect of such bets shall be final and we reserve the right to void such bets where it is impossible to conclusively determine whether a serve was an ace/double fault based on all available evidence at the time.

Points/Receiver Points in Game

Winning bets must predict the number of points played in the relevant game.

If a match is abandoned for any reason, bets will be void unless the bet has already been settled. Code violation points counts towards the total number of points in a game.

Point Winner

Winning bets must predict the winner of each point in a game.

Bets placed on the winner of points that do not take place will be void. Where a player is handed a code violation by the umpire and a point is awarded to their opponent, bets placed on the winner of the next point will be void.

For example, after the 3rd point in a the first game of a match Coria is handed a code violation and a point is awarded to Federer. In this case all bets on the 4th Point, 1st Game will be void. However, we will count a code violation point in order to settle the total number of points in game.

If a point is mistakenly settled before a player 'challenges' the outcome of the point in matches where such actions are allowed, we reserve the right to resettle the bet and make positive or negative adjustments to your account depending on the outcome of the challenge.

Tournament Prices

Winning bets must predict the winner of the tournament. Refer to Ante Post bets.

Tournament Totals

Winning bets must predict the total number of occurrences in a certain event (e.g. the total number of aces). 
If a tournament is postponed or cancelled, or the length of the tournament is reduced, all bets will be void.

Serve - Any point that ends with the receiver failing to return the ball successfully back into play.

Backhand Winner - A point won by a backhand ground stroke that bounces twice before an opponent makes contact with it.

Volley - A point won by a shot played by the vollier before the ball has bounced. This volley must bounce twice before an opponent makes contact with it.

A shot is only counted if the ball lands back in play.
