Part X - Introduction

1. Use and interpretation

The CRIC Markets Rules and Regulations ("Exchange Rules") are part of CricMarket's terms and conditions. Outlined Rules apply to all bets placed on company Exchange, Sportsbook, AND financial markets.  The Outlined Rules consist of the following:

• This INTRODUCTION section (Part X);
• The GENERAL RULES (set out in Part Y below);
• The SPECIFIC RULES (set out in Part Z below – these apply to all including to financial markets. Very specific and important);

The General Rules apply to all bets unless stated otherwise in the Market Information or the Specific Sports Rules. If there is any inconsistency between the Specific Sports Rules and the General Rules, the Specific Sports Rules shall prevail. If there is any inconsistency between the Market Information and either the General Rules or the Specific Sports Rules, the Market Information shall prevail, except where the General Rules or Specific Sports Rules use the phrase 'regardless of what it says in the Market Information' or similar wording. For any category or market not referred to in the Specific Sports Rules (e.g. ’Special Bets’ or e-sports such as e-soccer, e-volleyball etc.), the General Rules and Market Information will apply. Please note that there may be separate Rules and Regulations for each of our Exchange and Sportsbook products. The rules governing how markets are offered, managed and/or settled are governed may vary for every market on each product. In certain circumstances, a bet that is settled as a winner on one product may be settled as a loser on the other product (and vice versa). Additionally, different settlement rules may apply so that, for example, bets that are a winner on one product may be voided on the other product. If there are no set rules for specific sports or events means general rules are applied and may be executed on sole consensus of company. Customers must ensure that they familiarise themselves with the relevant rules that apply to the bets that they place on company products.

2. Market Information

The Market Information is provided for information purposes as an at-a-glance guide on how company intends to manage the market. The Market Information may also contain rules on market settlement, however it must always be read in conjunction with the General Rules and the relevant Specific Sports Rules (if any) and a link to this Rules and Regulations page will usually be provided in the Market Information for each market. Whilst the Market Information may give a guide to how markets will be managed, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, company reserves the right to suspend any market at any time at its sole discretion, including in order to carry out necessary administration and/or to take any necessary action to protect company customers. company shall not amend the Market Information after a market has been loaded except to correct obvious errors and/or to add wording to clarify the Market Information where appropriate.

3. User Responsibility

company Users should make themselves aware of all of the Exchange, sportsbook and allied market Rules affecting any market on which they wish to place a bet. Users should not simply rely on the Market Information as the Market Information is unlikely to contain all of the applicable rules relating to a market. By their nature ‘Special Bets’ markets are unpredictable so should be treated with particular caution. Users are responsible for managing their own positions at all times in such markets.Users should pay particular attention to the Market Information on ‘Special Bets’ markets to ensure they understand the basis on which the market will be administered and settled.

4. Users Betting Disputes

Any company user who has any concerns or questions regarding the Exchange/sportsbok/allied market Rules or regarding the settlement of any company market should contact Betfair HERE . If a user is not satisfied with how a bet or a market has been settled then the customer should refer to our dispute resolution policy When a User has exhausted the internal company betting dispute process without a satisfactory outcome, they may submit their betting dispute to Gaming authority, the Independent Betting Adjudication Service, or to such other independent betting adjudication service that company may recognise from time to time.

Part Y - General rules

Managing markets In-Play

1. General

• For everything including financial markets, if a market is not scheduled to be turned in-play but company fails to suspend the market at the relevant time, then:
• if the event has a scheduled 'off' time, all bets matched after that scheduled off time will be void; and
• if the event does not have a scheduled 'off' time, company will use its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual 'off' and all bets after the time of the 'off' determined by company will be void.
• company aims to use its reasonable endeavours to suspend in-play markets at the start of, admist and at the end of the event. However, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, company does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended at the relevant time.
• company will not part-suspend outcomes/selections in an Exchange market that has been turned in-play.
• company customers are responsible for managing their in-play bets at all times.
• For the purposes of in-play betting, customers should be aware that transmissions described as "live" by some broadcasters may actually be delayed or pre-recorded. The extent of any delay may vary depending on the set-up through which they are receiving pictures or data. The availability of an in-play market on our Exchange product for a particular event does not necessarily mean that there will be an equivalent in-play market for the same event on our Sportsbook or other products.
• In relation to markets which are scheduled to be turned in-play, company aims to use its reasonable endeavours to turn such markets in-play at the time of the 'off'. The time of the 'off' for such markets should be set out in the Market Information. However, regardless of what it says in the Market Information, company does not guarantee that such markets will be suspended and turned in-play at the time of the 'off'.
• If a market is scheduled to be turned in-play but company does not, at the scheduled time of the “off”, either (i) turn such market in-play or (ii) suspend the market and cancel unmatched bets, all bets matched after the scheduled time of the “off” (and before the market is turned in-play if scheduled to go in-play) will be void. If the event does not have a scheduled “off” time, company will use its reasonable endeavours to ascertain the time of the actual “off” and all bets after the time of the “off” as determined by company will be void. If the event is still on-going company will use its reasonable endeavours to re-open the market for in-play betting.
• Soccer markets - not suspending on the occurrence of a Material Event and rules relating to VAR Not suspending on the occurrence of a Material Event and cancellations of Material Events due to VAR.
• If company does not suspend a market on time for the occurrence of a Material Event, company reserves the right to void bets unfairly matched after the Material Event has occurred. Voiding of these bets may take place during the event or retrospectively once a game is completed.
• Where a Material Event is cancelled due to a determination made via a video assistant referee, company  will void bets as follows for such Material Event and the cancellation of it:
• For the cancellation of a goal, due to VAR, bets matched between the time of the goal being scored and the time at which the video assistant referee finishes the review will be voided. For the cancellation of a red card, due to VAR, bets matched after the time at which the video assistant referee commences the review will be voided.

The voiding of any such bets may take place during the event or retrospectively once a game is completed. Where a video assistant referee ruling results in the award of a Red Card or Penalty, such Material Event will be deemed to have occurred at the time at which the video assistant referee commences a review relating to such (ultimately awarded) Material Event. In such circumstances, bets matched prior to the time at which the video assistant referee commences a review will not be voided. For the avoidance of doubt, if the referee decides to award a goal, retrospectively due to VAR, bets matched between the time of the goal being scored and the time at which the video assistant referee review is concluded will be voided.

Results and market settlement

General

1. Markets will be settled as set out in the Market Information and/or the Specific Sports Rules.
2. Where the Market Information or Specific Sports Rules do not specify how and on what basis a market will be settled, markets will be settled on the official result of the relevant governing body regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result (except if an amendment is announced within 24 hours of the initial settlement of the relevant market in order to correct an error in reporting the result).
3. If no official result of a relevant governing body is available, the result will be determined by company (acting reasonably) using information from independent sources. In such cases, if any new information comes into the public domain within 48 hours of settlement, then company shall (acting reasonably) determine either: (i) whether the market should be reinstated or resettled in light of this new information; or (ii) whether or not to wait for further information before deciding whether to reinstate or resettle the market. Except where company has announced that it is waiting for further information, any information that comes into the public domain more than 48 hours after a market has been settled shall not be considered by company (regardless of whether or not such information may have led to a different result).

In the event of any uncertainty about any result or potential result, company reserves the right to suspend settlement of any market for an unlimited period until the uncertainty can be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of company . company reserves the right to void any market if the uncertainty regarding settlement cannot be resolved to company 's reasonable satisfaction.

 

Resettlements

• Markets are generally settled shortly after the end of the event in question. company may settle (or part-settle) some markets before the official result is declared (or may increase a customer's 'available to bet' balance by the minimum potential winnings of that customer on a given market) purely as a customer service benefit. However, company reserves the right to amend the settlement of the market if: (i) the official result is different to the result on which company initially settled the market (for example, a horseracing result being changed by the relevant governing body shortly after a race, but before the result is official); or (ii) if the whole market is eventually voided (e.g. for an abandoned event).
• company reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a market if a market is settled in error (for example, a human or technical error).
• If company resettles a market, this may lead to amendments being made to a customer's balance to reflect changes in market settlement.

 

Withdrawals and disqualifications

However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information then the following shall apply.
• 'Match Bets' for one-off events are determined by the competitor or team with the best score, time or finishing position in the event. If none of the competitors or teams involved in the match bet complete the event or register a score, time or finishing position then bets are void unless specified otherwise in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. Any competitor or team not completing an event or registering a score, time or finishing position having taken part in the match bet event will be settled as a loser providing at least one other team or competitor completes that event or registers a score, time or finishing position.
• 'Match Bets' for progress in a competition or event with multiple heats or rounds are determined by the competitor or team which qualifies to the furthest round (whether it takes part in the further round or not) or with the best score, time or finishing position in the final or same heat of that competition or event. If the relevant competitors or teams fail to qualify in the same round of the competition but in different heats then dead-heat rules will apply, irrespective of the finishing positions in their respective heats. Markets will be part-settled after the end of each round and any subsequent disqualifications, penalties or amendments to results or qualifications will not have any effect on the market. Where one or more of the competitors or teams are disqualified, for the purposes of settlement, the disqualified competitor or team will be deemed to have progressed further in the competition or event than all those eliminated from the competition or event prior to the disqualification, and will be deemed to have finished last (or joint last if there is more than one disqualification) of those still competing in the competition or event. Disqualification will be considered to have taken place at the time of the competitor's or team's removal from the competition or event by the relevant governing body, rather than at the time of the event which caused disqualification.
• If one of the competitors or teams does not take any part in the event, then all relevant match bets will be void.
• If an event or tournament is abandoned or reduced in duration such that any competitor or team fails to complete the match bet, event or tournament for any reason other than withdrawal or disqualification then all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined.

 

"To qualify" markets

• Some markets have different rules and these are listed in the Specific Sports Rules and/or the Market Information. However, if not dealt with in the Specific Sports Rules or the Market Information then the following shall apply.
• Any 'to qualify' market (e.g. "to reach the final" markets) will be determined by the competitor or team that qualifies under the terms set out in Market Information, whether or not they take part in the next round or event for which they have qualified. Markets will be settled after the qualifying stage and any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result will not count.

Cash Out allows you to amend your original bet(s) on that market and lock in a profit or a loss by settling your bet(s) (or a portion of it/them) early, without having to wait for the event to finish.
2. If you make a Cash Out request, you will be notified whether or not your request has been successful. Your request to Cash Out is not guaranteed to be accepted and may be unsuccessful if, for example, the market suspends or the odds move before your request has been processed.
3. If your Cash Out request is successful, a ‘success’ message will be shown and your bet(s) (or the relevant portion of your bet(s)) will be settled at the time on which all other bets on the same market are settled (at which time any winnings will be returned to your account equal to the amount shown on the Cash Out button - note that this includes the original stake or portion of your stake). For a full Cash Out, any subsequent events will have no impact on the amount returned to your account. As of now company  doesn't offer partial cashout.
4. If your Cash Out request is unsuccessful, a message will be shown which gives the reason why and a new Cash Out offer may be offered to you.

6. Cash Out is available in almost all markets but company  has the rights to discontinue any of such facility at their own comfort.
7. Cash Out on the company Exchange applies on a “per-market” rather than a “per-bet” basis. Accordingly, if you have placed two separate bets on the same outcome, you may cash out of both bets or neither bet (i.e. you will not be able to cash out of one of the bets only).
8. Using Cash Out may mean you will opt out of and no longer be eligible for a particular promotion. See the terms and conditions of the promotion for further details.
9. company reserves the right to reverse the settlement of a Cash Out if the bet or a market is settled in error (for example, due to a human or technical error). If company resettles a bet, this may lead to amendments being made to a customer's balance to reflect changes in bet settlement.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that they satisfy themselves that the selection on which they place a bet is their intended selection.

You should note that company will have no liability to you in the event that one or more of your bets on company’s products are amended or voided in accordance with company’s terms and conditions, even if your other related bets stand (and even if you have specifically relied on bets you have placed on one product in order to place related bets on another product). company reserves the right to amend the Exchange Rules at any time. Any such revision will be binding and effective immediately on the posting of such rule changes on company.com and any markets loaded after the new Exchange Rules have been posted shall be governed by the new Exchange Specific. company reserves the right to cancel unmatched bets to protect customers at any time. On the settlement of any market, amounts relating to winnings/losses on bets; and commission charges will be rounded up or down to the nearest two decimal places (with the exception that rounding will always be down (and never up) in respect of amounts relating to winnings/losses in respect of other bets).
