Cricket Rules

Gambyl general betting rules (1-11) will apply unless superseded by the Terms and Conditions or sports specific betting rules.


15.1   General


15.1.1   Bets will be settled as their outcomes become determined. Later decisions to void markets will not affect earlier settled markets if the outcomes of which are unaffected.


15.1.2   If the result is determined by a tie breaker including, but not limited to, bowl-off, super-over or a toss of the coin, remaining undetermined markets, including the winner market, will be voided unless the market name specifically states otherwise, for example 'Match winner (including super over)'.


15.1.3   If the result of a match is a draw or a tie, markets will be voided unless they have this selection as a possible outcome.


15.1.4   A ball must be bowled for bets to be valid. If no ball has been bowled, outstanding markets will be voided.


15.1.5   When a match is curtailed by the weather, bets will be settled according to the official result, including limited overs matches, whereby the result is determined by the Duckworth Lewis method.


15.2   Test matches


15.2.1   Test matches must conclude within five days of the originally scheduled date. If they do not, any outstanding markets will be voided.


15.2.2   If less than 20 overs are bowled in an innings in a Test match, any outstanding ‘innings runs’ markets will be voided unless the outcome of that market is already known. This rule will not apply in the case a team is all out or declares their innings inside of 20 overs.


15.2.3   If a Test match is abandoned for any reason other than the weather, Gambyl will void outstanding bets.


15.2.4   If the official result of a Test match is a tie, all bets on the 'Winner' market will be voided.

Bets on any player confirmed as not in the starting XI prior to the beginning of the match would be voided. Players selected in the starting XI that do not bat will be settled as a loser. In the case of a tie, dead-heat rules apply.

Bets on any player confirmed as not in the starting XI prior to the beginning of the match would be voided. Players selected in the starting XI that do not bowl will be settled as a loser.
