Sportsbook - Extra Places

What is the Extra Places Promotion?

Extra Places is a promotion we offer on selected races, on our Sportsbook.

Extra places means that we will pay out an extra place above our standard terms on Each Way bets. 

So if your horse finishes 4th on an extra places race and we usually pay out for 3 places, the place part of any Each Way bet will still be paid out.
