UFC/Martial Arts

1. The result as declared at the end of a fight by the official announcer will be used for settlement purposes. Any subsequent alterations to that result will not be taken into account. If the official announcer does not declare a result at the end of a fight, the market will be settled on the result displayed on the applicable organisation's official site.

2. If a fight results in a draw, the Fight Result will be deemed void and all stakes returned.

3. If a bout does not take place within 48 hours of the given date and time, it will be deemed void and all stakes will be returned. Fights deemed to be "No Contest" or "No Decision" will have all markets settled as void.

Future Fights

The one exception to the 48 hour rule above, is fights set up under the Future Fights sub-type. These fights have been set up before the exact date is known and will be reclassified under the correct event and date, once an official announcement has been made. These fights will only be voided if either fighter is scheduled to fight another opponent instead. Once a fight has been reclassified, it is then subject to the 48 hour rule as normal.

Change to scheduled number of rounds

All outright bets on the match will stand. However round by round bets will be void.

Round Betting

1. Betting on the round in which the fight result will be determined.

2. If a fight is stopped before the full number of rounds have been completed, or if a boxer is disqualified and a points decision is awarded, bets will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped.

Total Rounds

1. If a fight is stopped before the full number of rounds have been completed, or if a boxer is disqualified and a points decision is awarded, bets will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped.

2. For settlement purposes where a half round is stated, then 2 minute 30 seconds of the respective round will define the ‘half’ to determine under or over. This market is offered in increments of 1 round, starting from 0.5 (i.e. over/under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 rounds, etc). Where a fight ends with the clock at the exact halfway point of a round (e.g. 2:30 for 5-minute rounds), it will be deemed a completed half-round for the purposes of this market, and the fight considered to have progressed to the next half-round. For example, where a fight with 5-minute rounds ends at exactly 2:30 on the clock in the second round, a selection on the fight lasting over 1.5 rounds will be settled as a winner, and a selection on under 1.5 rounds will be a loser.

Examples (Unified standard 5 minute round) - for a bet on:

“Over 0.5 Rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last 2 minute and 30 seconds and beyond in Round 1 

“Over 1.5 Rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last 2 minute and 30 seconds and beyond in Round 2 

“Over 2.5 Rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last 2 minute and 30 seconds and beyond in Round 3 

“Over 3.5 Rounds” to be a winner, the fight must last 2 minute and 30 seconds and beyond in Round 4 

“Over 4.5 Rounds” to be a winner , the fight must last 2 minute and 30 seconds and beyond in Round 5.

3. Total Minutes - This market is offered in increments of 1 minute, starting from 0.5 (i.e. over/under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 minutes, etc). Where a fight ends with the official clock showing exactly 30 seconds past a minute (e.g. 0:30, 1:30, 2:30), it will be deemed a completed half-minute for the purposes of this market, and the fight considered to have progressed to the next half-minute. For example, where a fight ends at exactly 3:30 in the first round, a selection on the fight lasting over 3.5 minutes will be settled as a winner, and a selection on under 3.5 minutes will be a loser.

Failure to come out for a round

If a fighter fails to come out for the next round, bets will be settled on his opponent having won the bout in the previous round.

“Win By Finish”

KO, TKO, DQ or Submission counts as a finish

UFC Card Specials

1. Only the main card and undercard fights will count. Early preliminaries will not be included. Bets will stand on the number of bouts scheduled to be on the full card, which includes all main card and undercard fights.

2. Bets will stand so long as the exact number of bouts quoted in the market description take place. If any fighter withdraws, and is replaced, bets will stand. If a bout is cancelled without a replacement, changing the number of bouts taking place, then all bets will be void.

3. Dead Heat rules will apply to the Fight of The Night, Submission of The Night and Knockout of The Night markets should two or more fights or fighters be awarded the honours.

Betway Boosts

For settlement purposes the match result Win/Draw/Win is used for “All To Win” boosts unless otherwise stipulated.

Betyourway/Fight Specials

All selections within a Betyourway/Fight Prop must win (no ties, draws or pushes (unless quoted)) for a bet to be deemed a winner. A selection that does not win, unless explicitly specified within the bet will be settled as a loser. Where a bet includes a selection resulted as void for any reason (such as a fight being ruled no contest after it has commenced), the bet will void unless already determined

For example, selections on a fighter to get the most knockdowns, in a fight which ends with zero knockdowns, and even where a tie or draw option may not have been offered through Betyourway/Fight Specials will be settled as losers

A pre-fight change to the scheduled number of rounds in a fight will cause all bets to be void, and stakes to be refunded. For the avoidance of confusion, the fight may be subsequently reopened to betting through Betyourway/Fight Specials with the amended number of rounds; if it is, bets placed from the point of that reopening will stand.
