Cancellations, Postponements

Some markets have sports specific rules regarding cancellations and postponements, but in the absence of these rules, the following applies in the case of a cancellation or postponement:

If the event is not completed within 24 hours after the originally scheduled completion date, all bets on markets for the event will be cancelled, except for bets on any markets that have been unconditionally determined; and,
If the scheduled duration or event conditions change after a wager is placed but prior to the start of the event, all bets will be cancelled.

Change of venue

Some markets have sports specific rules regarding cancellations and postponements, but in the absence of these rules, the following applies in the case of a change of venue:

In relation to all team sports, if the scheduled venue is changed after a wager is placed all bets will be cancelled only if the new venue is a home ground of the original away team (All bets will be cancelled for international matches if there is a change in country of the venue);
In all events other than team sports if the scheduled venue is changed all bets will stand; and,
If there is a change in the type of surface (for example an NFL game grass to synthetic surface) all bets will stand.

In-Play

If a market is not scheduled or intended to be turned in-play after a start time, but Betfred Sports fails to suspend the market, all bets after that scheduled start time will be cancelled.

In the event that Betfred Sports accepts a wager on a market where the outcome has already been determined that bet shall be deemed cancelled.

Dead heats

Unless stated in the sport specific rules, a Dead Heat Rule applies to bets on a market where two or more selections are joint winners in an event. If a dead heat between two selections is declared on any event, half the bet is applied to the selection at full odds and the other half is lost. If more than two dead heats are declared, the bet is proportioned accordingly.

Parlay Betting

A parlay is a single sports wager that involves two or more individual wager outcomes (legs). Parlay lines and odds are set at the point the bet is placed. In order to win a parlay bet, all legs of the parlay must be won. In the event that any selection in any leg is cancelled, a non-runner, or otherwise cancelled under these rules, then all bets on that individual bet will be void and the parlay bet shall be adjusted accordingly. For example, if three legs are bet and one leg is cancelled, that bet will become a double. If two legs are bet and one leg is cancelled, the single bet will stand. If any constituent selection in multiple/parlay leg is a no-action/non-runner all bets on that leg will be void. Parlays combining different selections within the same event are not accepted when there are related contingencies. If a bet containing outcomes with related contingencies is taken in error Betfred Sportsbook may settle the individual bet combinations which contain two or more of the related contingency selections as constituent bets, as singles/straight bets.

Futures

For all futures wagers, in the circumstance of a team or player name change all bets are still deemed to be action. In the occurrence of a team relocation, all existing futures bets are all still deemed action. In the case of an event changing its name all existing futures bets on said event are deemed to be action.
