    5. the name or identifying number of the event or contingency;

    11. the name of the bookmaker, and
    12. the address of the licensed premises.
  2. A representation on the line, of –
    1. "1" signifies a bet on the first team listed to win;
    2. "2" signifies a bet on the second team listed to win;
    3. "X" signifies a bet on a draw between the listed teams;
    4. "Double Chance" signifies a bet that either of two specified outcomes will materialise.
      For example "Arsenal or Liverpool" signifies a bet that either the first or second team listed will win (i.e. the teams may not draw); and continuing with this example, "Arsenal or Draw" signifies a bet that the specified team will win or that the outcome will be a draw;
    5. "Handicap", accompanied by a margin specified by the bookmaker, signifies a bet on the winning margin of one team over the other, expressed in goals, points, runs, wickets, sets or any other measurable result by which the margin of victory may be determined, as quoted by the bookmaker. Once the result of the relevant event has become known, the margin quoted by the bookmaker is added to the actual winning margin achieved, and if the sum of such addition, irrespective of the actual winning margin –
      1. is in favour of the team selected by the Customer, the bet is won;
      2. results in a draw between the teams, the bet is returned, and
      3. is in favour of the team not selected by the Customer, the bet is lost;
      4. Settlement of Asian Handicap bets – Two outcomes ("Team 1 with handicap" and "Team 2 with handicap"):
        • the bet wins if the selected player/team is winning after adding the handicap;
        • the bet loses if the selected player/team is losing after adding the handicap;
        • the bet is settled as a refund and settled with odds of "1" in accumulators if the result is a Draw after adding the handicap;
      5. In cases where the Customer has the opportunity to bet on two handicap values within the same wager, half of the stake is placed on the value of the first handicap and the other half of the stake is placed on the value of the second handicap. By way of example, if a stake of 100 is placed on Team A to win with a handicap of (-1.5; -2) (or "Team 1 with handicap (-1.75)"), the stake is divided equally between the two values, in this case meaning that the Customer has a stake of 50 on Team A to win with a handicap of (-1.5) and a further bet of 50 on Team A to win with a handicap of (-2).
      6. Settlement of European Handicap bets – Three outcomes ("Team 1 with handicap", "Draw with handicap" and "Team 2 with handicap"):
        • the bet wins if the selected player/team is winning after adding the handicap;
        • the bet loses if the selected player/team is losing after adding the handicap;
        • bets on any player/team with handicap lose, if the result is a Draw after adding the handicap;
      7. If the bet is placed on "Draw with handicap", the handicap is added or subtracted to the first player/team's points. If the result is a Draw after adding the handicap, the bet wins.
        Example: The bet is placed on "Draw with handicap (-2)" in the match "Brazil – Russia". The bet wins if Brazil wins by a margin of exactly 2 goals. The bet loses if Brazil wins with any other margin, or if the match ends with a Draw or if Brazil loses.
      8. Bets on the European Handicap (Three outcomes) cannot be refunded: one of the three outcomes wins with the other two losing.
    6. "Total" or "Tot", accompanied by a margin specified by the bookmaker, signifies a bet that the total number of goals, points, runs, wickets, sets or any other measurable scoring factor applicable to the event, determined by the outcome of regular playing time as defined within these Terms and Condition, will be –
      1. over (represented by the expression "Total Over") or under (represented by the expression "Total Under") the margin specified by the bookmaker, provided that if the result is equal to the margin quoted by the Bookmaker, the bet shall be returned, unless offered as part of a 3-way market which also includes "Total Exactly" or "Total Between";
      2. even in number (represented by the expression "Even number of goals scored"), or odd in number (represented by the expression "Odd number of goals scored"), provided that should the result be zero (0), bets placed on the “Even” market are settled as won;
      3. In cases where the Customer has the opportunity to bet on two ‘Total’ values within the same bet, half of the stake is placed on the value of the first total and the other half of the stake is placed on the value of the second total.
        By way of example, if a stake of R100 is placed on Total Over (2.5; 3), the stake is divided equally between the two values, in this case meaning that the Customer has a stake of R50 on Total Over (2.5) and a further bet of R50 on Total Over (3);
    7. "Correct Score" signifies a bet on the exact score in respect of the specified event, in such a manner that the score of the first team listed is reflected first on the line and the score of the second team listed is reflected second on the line;
    8. "Half Time/Full Time" signifies a bet on the outcomes of the first half of the event and the final outcome of the event, in such a manner that, for the purposes of example, the representations –
      1. "Arsenal/Liverpool" will mean that the bet will be won if the team specified first (in this case Arsenal) wins the first half of the event and the team specified after the forward slash (in this case Liverpool) wins the event upon the conclusion thereof, or
      2. "Liverpool/Draw" will mean that the bet will be won if the specified team wins the first half, but the final result of the event, upon the conclusion thereof, is a draw;

      1. Yellow cards;
      2. Corners;
      3. Fouls;
      4. Shots at goal, and
      5. Offside calls
        (collectively "statistical variables"), in respect of which –
        1. "1" signifies a bet that the first listed team will be given, be awarded, take or be penalised for, as the case may be, a greater number of any specified statistical variables than the second listed team;
        2. "2" signifies a bet that the first listed team will be given, be awarded, take or be penalised for, as the case may be, a greater number of any specified statistical variables than the second listed team, and
        3. "X" or "Draw" signifies a bet that each of the teams listed will be given, be awarded, take or be penalised for, as the case may be, the same number of any specified statistical variables;

    responsible if the Customer is not aware of the format of the match prior to placing a bet. If a change of format has resulted in the offering of incorrect odds, the Bookmaker retains the right to settle such bets as refund.
  2. In the event of extra time, a new market may be created.
  3. Where a bet is struck ”to win outright”, “to lift the cup” or “to qualify” there shall be no betting on the draw, as extra time, golden-goal or penalties may be required to decide the outcome.

This is with the exception of bets placed on boxing and martial arts, with bets on these events considered valid and whereby the result is confirmed at the time of the event being completed.
  2. Unless otherwise specified in these Rules in relation to particular sporting codes, in respect of any kind of sporting code with no fixed period of duration, should a team or player retire –
    1. prior to the commencement of the contest, all bets will be cancelled and the stakes returned to the Customer, or

Example: If a bet is placed on a 'Top Goalscorer' market and three players score an equal highest number of goals, then bets placed on any of the three players are considered to be won. To calculate bet returns, the odds at which the original bet was placed are divided by three (number of winning players), as per the below:
    • Original Bet: Stake of 1200 at odds of 9.00
    • Odds Recalculation: 6.00 / 3 = 2.00

    • If the score changes to 10-10, the bet is settled as won.
    • If the score changes to 11-9, the bet is settled as lost.
  7. Bets placed on 'Race by points' markets require the Player to predict which player or team will reach a specified target number of points first. For example: With the score at 18-18, between Team A and Team B, a bet is placed on 'Race to 20 Points - Team A'.
    • If the score changes to 20-18 or 20-19, the bet is settled as won.
    • If the score changes to 18-20 or 19-20, the bet is settled as lost.

  6. No bet placed on Lucky Numbers may be combined with a selection of:
    1. any other number or numbers forming part of the same Lucky Numbers draw;
    2. any number or numbers forming part of another Lucky Numbers draw, or
    3. any other bet in respect of any other sporting event.
  7. If any multiple bet is erroneously processed in contravention of Clause 1.6:
    1. the Lucky Numbers selection or selections will be removed from the multiple bet;
    2. the original stake placed on the multiple bet will be divided by the total number of events selected in the multiple bet to determine the proportional stake attributable to each Lucky Numbers bet, and
    3. all bets struck on Lucky Numbers will be settled as single bets.
  8. All bets are valid only for the draws recorded against each bet on the transaction log. When placing a bet online, the draw date and time is displayed in your local time zone on the bet confirmation page. Bet confirmation can be viewed immediately after placing your lucky numbers bet via the 'My bets' link. When placing a bet 'over the counter', within an BetOlimp licensed premises, the draw date and time is displayed in your local time zone on the bet slip.
  9. In the event that any additional draw for a particular lucky numbers game is introduced, advance bets will not stand against that draw unless the date and time of the additional draw is recorded against the bets in the transaction log.
  10. If a lucky numbers game introduces a second draw to take place immediately following another draw, bets time and dated for that draw will stand against the first full draw made.
  11. If a lucky numbers draw time is postponed to another time within 12 hours of the advertised time of the draw, all bets on that draw will stand with the exception of bets which were placed late.
  12. If a lucky numbers draw time is postponed by more than 12 hours of the advertised time of the draw, all bets on that draw will be considered void and the stakes refunded.
  13. All lucky numbers bets are based on the numbers drawn from the respective lucky numbers games. Bonus Ball(s) are only included for specific markets, as indicated in the betting line. Any bet placed on the ‘Straight’ market will be settled only in accordance with the main numbers, with any Bonus Ball(s) not counted.
  14. No employees of either National Lotteries or TV stations (or subsidiaries) that work in conjunction with SA Lotteries, Powerball or Powerball Plus are permitted to bet on these outcomes.
