Netball: Rules
| Postponed Matches | Live Streaming, In-Play Scoreboards and Notifications |
| Abandoned Matches | In-Play Bet Acceptance |
- In the instance of a postponed match, all bets placed on that match will be void.
- A postponement is deemed to be where a match doesn't commence on the same day it's scheduled to do so.
- As soon as we become aware of a postponed fixture, bets on that match will be made void.
- The only exception to these postponement rules are for matches played in a competition or tournament, where bets will stand on the match if it's played within two calendar days of the scheduled fixture.
- Where bets have been placed on a match that subsequently has its match day changed within the same round of fixtures owing to reasons such as TV coverage (though not exclusively), bets will stand as this change to the match date isn't deemed a postponement.
-
In the instance where a match is abandoned, the following principles will be applied in settling bets:
-
If a winning selection in a specific market has been established before the abandonment of the match, bets will stand and settlement will occur as expected.
-
If a winning selection for a specific market hasn't been established at the time of abandonment all bets will be settled as void.
-
- An abandonment is deemed to be where a match has been unable to play to completion and play halted, and not played out to conclusion on the same day.
- An abandoned match can occur for a variety of reasons (though not exclusively); inclement weather and conditions, security/policing, power failures, crowd trouble.
- A match that's interrupted, but then plays to a conclusion on the same day won't count as an abandonment and bets will be settled on the outcome at the end of the match.
-
In the case of an abandonment, any subsequent replays/completions, award of the match result by governing bodies or panel decisions won't count toward settlement.
-
The only exception to these postponement rules are for matches played in a competition or tournament, where bets will stand on the match if it's played within two calendar days of the scheduled fixture.

Live Streaming, In-Play Scoreboards and Notifications
- Although we make every effort to ensure all Live In-Play and Notifications displayed are correct, information (such as score and time of game) is intended to be used as a guide and we assume no liability in the event of any information being incorrect.
- Please be aware that live transmissions by some broadcasters, including William Hill WHTV live streaming service, can be delayed and that this delay can vary between customers depending upon factors such as their connection or buffering speed.
- For the purposes of security and integrity, In-Play bets (meaning events that have already started) are subject to an automated time delay prior to acceptance.
- Prior to clicking place bet, if the price changes on a selection, the price will update automatically in your bet slip.
- After clicking place bet, if there's a marginal price change on a selection, the bet will be accepted at the larger price.
- If the price change is more significant, the bet won't be placed and it will be re-offered in the bet slip at the new price.
- A betting market may be suspended when something of significance occurs, or is likely to occur, e.g. goal, possible red card, possible penalty etc.
- Betting markets may also be suspended due to the time elapsed in the match, the market becoming uncompetitive, or for technical reasons.
- The above examples aren't exhaustive and there may be other reasons that aren't listed.
- Whilst a market is suspended, bets cannot be placed and Cashout may not be available.
Market description: Predict the result of a match from: home win | away win, sometimes denoted on our website as 1 | 2, after the handicap spread has been applied to the teams.
