    13. All languages’ versions of this terms and conditions reflect the same principles. The prevailing language of these betting conditions in case of interpretation shall be English.
  2. Other terms and conditions:
    1. If the betting event does not take place as specified in the odds sheet (e.g. change of venue or against a different opponent), the bet is void and stakes will be refunded. However, the bet is not void if the home team decides to relinquish its home advantage and voluntarily plays a game at an away ground, if the home team’s ground is out of action or if the betting event is transferred to a neutral ground
    2. If the bet is concluded after the betting event starts, or the stake is not covered by the account balance, the bet is void (odds of 1.00).
    3. The winner of a betting event is regarded as the team or person who is declared by the adjudicating officials to be the official winner no later than 24.00 hrs (calculated according to the local time at the event venue) on the day of the betting event. This also applies to long-term bets. Any changes to the classification made after this time shall have no effect on the bet payout, irrespective of the reasons for these changes.
    4. The result after 90 minutes (normal time) shall prevail in the case of football games and the result after 60 minutes (normal time) shall prevail for ice hockey matches. Any extra time or penalty shootouts, etc. will not affect the bet payout. Special agreements which are recorded in the Company’s records form exceptions to this rule. In American sports (NFL, College Football, NBA, MLB) the result after any extra time (overtime) decides the bet payout. Bets on the NHL form an exception to this rule, where the result after normal time decides the payout.
    5. If a cancelled betting event starts before the end of the calendar day two days after the original date of the event, the bet will remain valid for the new betting event. Bets on the MLB form an exception to this rule: if a game does not take place on the same calendar day, the game is calculated on the basis of odds of 1:00!
    6. If a betting event does not take place on the scheduled date, for whatever reason, or if the event is terminated without an official result and not restarted before the end of the calendar day two days after the original event, the stakes will be refunded or credited (with the exception of football and ice hockey games which are suspended after normal time or bets on the MLB: if an MLB game does not take place on the same calendar day, the game is calculated on the basis of odds of 1.00!) If a betting event is abandoned, but an official result is given, this result is used to calculate the winnings.
    7. Bets are paid in consideration of any company limits which may exist. In the event of a “dead heat”, payments are divided accordingly.
    8. The “play or pay” principle applies to all bets, i.e. if the starter on whom the bet has been placed does not play or run, for whatever reason, the bet is lost if the betting event takes place. Tennis forms an exception to this rule, as the stake is refunded if the player (or a doubles pair) does not play (odds based on 1.00). However, if a tennis player withdraws during the match, whatever the reason, the other tennis player is deemed to have won.
    9. If, in a multiple bet, a starter on whom a bet has been placed does not take part in a betting event, or if one of the events on which bets have been placed is called off, suspended or cancelled, or does not take place for other reasons and the relevant betting events are not played by the end of the calendar day two days after the date of the original event, these betting events are calculated with odds of 1:00. Bets on the MLB form the exception to this rule: if a game does not take place on the same calendar day, the game is calculated on the basis of odds of 1.00! The same applies to betting events which have been wrongly listed on the betting programme (odds list) (wrong choice of venue), but not in the event of any team deciding to relinquish its home advantage, if the home team’s ground is out of action or if the betting event is transferred to a neutral ground. If none of the starters on which bets have been placed in a multiple bet takes part in the betting events or if all the events on which bets have been placed in a multiple bet are called off, suspended or cancelled or if they do not take place for whatever reason, and the event is not transferred as described above, the stakes will be refunded.
    10. The same match pair may not be combined more than once. (Also applies to handicap bets, final result bets, special bets)
    11. In head-to-head betting, both starters must take part in the betting event. If either or both starters do not take part in the betting event, the bet is called off. In case that both of the participants of Head-to-Head bet drop out (for ex. None of them reaches the goal), both participants will be evaluated as incorrect. In case one runner does not qualify for the second round this will not be deemed as a drop out.
    12. Dog races are recorded dog races, whereas the import of the races happens at random.
    13. In the event of bets being placed on the “First goalscorer” and “Time of first goal”, and no goals being scored (0:0), any bets placed shall be lost. Any extra time or penalty shootouts, etc. will not affect the bet payout.
    14. In tennis, bets will remain valid as long as the match is held during the course of the tournament. If a tennis match is decided by the withdrawal or disqualification of a player, the opposing player shall be regarded as the winner of the betting event for the purpose of winning bets, as long as at least one ball has been hit during the match. In the event of withdrawal or disqualification of a player, bets relating to the winner of the first set shall remain valid if the first set has been concluded; otherwise these bets will be called off with odds of 1:00. Set bets (best of 3 or best of 5) and tennis handicap bets and other special tennis bets will stand if a player withdraws or is disqualified and are calculated with odds of 1:00. If a tennis match is called off before at least one ball has been played, the bets are called off with odds of 1:00.
    15. If a football game is suspended or no result is given, all special bets on this game such as “First goalscorer” or “Time of first goal”, etc. will also be calculated with odds of 1:00.
    16. In case there is an interruption longer than 60 minutes in a live bet, bet-at-home reserves the right to caluculate open bets with the odd 1,0.
    17. For Casino- and Pokergames all rules published on this website are valid.
    18. In case a Formula 1 race or any other motorsports event started behind the safety car for whatsoever reason this will not be considered a “safety car phase” during the race.
    19. If a boxing event does not take place on the scheduled date, for whatever reason, but is rescheduled within 28 days after the original date, all bets placed will be valid for the rescheduled event. In case the event is NOT rescheduled within 28 days after the original date, the stakes will be refunded.
    20. If a rescheduled Boxing event does not take place in the country which was originally defined all bets will be void and all staked will be refunded. In case the rescheduled Boxing event takes place at a different venue, but in the same country as originally defined, all bets will be valid.
    21. The result at the end of a Boxing event is irrevocable. This includes any recounting of the scoring judges votes. Belated changes of the respective institutions will not apply to the results of any bets.
    22. In case a boxing event is stopped prior to its completion, all bets are void, except of bets on the highest possible score in case this score has been reached already. In that case all bets retain their validity. If one of the boxers is not able to attend another round the previous round will be considered the last round of the fight.
    23. For knockdown bets in Boxing every time the referee starts his count to ten it will be considered a knockdown.
    24. “Rounds bets” in boxing will be cleared after the round in which the fight ends. If one of the boxers is not able to attend another round the previous round will be considered the last round of the fight for “victory” results of the event.
    25. Winter sports: The winner of a Head – to – Head –Duel will be, if not stated otherwise, the participant with the better positioning in the final ranking. The final ranking according to the FIS (www.fis-ski.com) will be taken into consideration for the clearing of the bets. In case both participants have no clearly defined positioning according to the final ranking, the last successfully finished run will be considered for the final positioning.
