Exchange - ESports Rules

General Rules

  • All markets are settled on the basis of the official result of the relevant league / tournament organiser.
  • If a series format is changed before the applicable series starts then all markets which were in place in respect of that series, prior to the time at which the format changed, will be void.
  • If a series format is changed after that series is turned in-play then all markets in respect of the series will be void (except for markets in respect of which the outcome had already been unequivocally determined at the point at which the series format was changed).
  • In a series where one of the teams is awarded one or more map's advantage for any reason (for example, where such team has been awarded a map's advantage due to strong performance earlier in the series), for all map markets, the map(s) which has/have been awarded will be disregarded for betting purposes. In such circumstances, the first map actually played will, for the purposes of map markets, be considered to be the first map of the series.
  • If a team is awarded a walkover in respect of at least one map by the league/tournament organizer for any other reason than strong performance earlier in the series/tournament then all markets in respect of the relevant map, or the series in which the map takes place, will be void.
  • If a map starts but finishes prematurely: (i) map winner markets will be settled based on the official result, (ii) all other markets in respect of which the outcome has been unequivocally determined (at the time at which the map prematurely finishes) will be settled and (iii) any other markets will be void.
  • If a map is remade (i.e. restarted) after being partially played, map markets which have been unequivocally determined at the point at which the map is remade will be settled based on the official result of the relevant league / tournament organizer. All other map markets will be settled on the basis of the newly remade map.
  • If a series does not start within 48 hours of the official scheduled start date & time, then all bets on markets in respect of the applicable series will be void.
  • If one or more players are determined to have been cheating during a series by the relevant league or tournament organizer, all unsettled series and map markets which involved that player or, that player's team, will be void.
  • Betfair 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 Betfair customers).
  • If a series is started and later suspended or postponed, and not resumed within 6 hours from the actual scheduled start time, then bets on all markets in respect of that series will be void (except for bets on any markets which have been unequivically determined prior to the point in time at which the market is suspended or postponed).
  • If a team is renamed or rebranded, all bets on that team will stand. However, Betfair reserves the right to void any bets which have been placed in relation to a team if there is material uncertainty as to the identity of that team.
