Para além das seguintes regras especiais de apostas, aplicam-se as regras comuns de apostas. Apesar disso, as regras especiais terão precedência sobre as regras comuns.
1. Outright betting: The following rules apply to outright betting:
a.) All bets on a player who fails to tee off in the first round will be void.
b.) All bets will be considered losers on players who fail to qualify for a tournament.
c.) All bets will be considered losers on any player who withdraws or is disqualified in any round.
d.) If a player is withdrawn before the start of the tournament, we will settle your bet as void and refund your stake. If the player has already teed off, they are considered to have taken part in the tournament and your bet will be settled as a loser. Bets stand once the players have teed off on their first hole. If a player does not tee off, then bets on the 2 or 3 Ball they were due to take part in are void.
e.) If a round is abandoned, bets on that round are void.
f.) For settlement purposes, if a tournament has its scheduled number of holes reduced, we will consider the player who receives the trophy (and finishes with the lowest score, including play-off, where applicable) as the winner. The only exception to this is as follows:
- All outright bets will be made void, on tournaments which are played in their entirety on different courses to the ones they were originally scheduled to play on.
- In tournaments affected by bad weather, bets will be settled on the official result regardless of the number of rounds played. If a tournament has its scheduled number of holes reduced, any bets placed after the last completed round will be void. Any bets placed before the final completed round, will be settled on the result published by the official governing body immediately after the match/competition is finished. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.
g.) Outright tournament bets are settled on the player winning the trophy.
h.) If a tournament is rescheduled, bets will stand.

c.) In 3 Ball betting, if two or more players finish with the same score, dead heat rules will apply.
d.) If a player is withdrawn before the start of the tournament, we will void bets and refund your stake.

If a player does not tee off, then bets on the 2 or 3 Ball they were due to take part in are void. If a round is abandoned, bets on that round are void.

11. Tied/Dead Heat result: If a price for a tie is not available, dead heat rules will apply e.g. if you placed an each way bet and the terms quoted for the tournament are for the first five places, we will treat three players tying for fourth place as having dead heated for fourth, fifth and sixth place. We will then settle with 1/3 stake lost and 2/3 stake settled at full place odds for each-way bets on those players.
