Date/Site Changes

All events must take place on the scheduled calendar day (local time) otherwise, all bets on the game will be cancelled.

Event(s) must take place in the same city, but not restricted to a specific venue or arena.

Minimum Length of Play

In the event of a match starting but not being completed for any reason, all bets on the outcome of the match will be cancelled. 

Handball Wagers

All results will be taken from the official statistics by the official websites for each league or tournament. All bets will be settled on 60 minutes of play unless otherwise stated.

Match Betting

Bet on who will win the match

Set Markets

The respective set must be completed for bets to stand.

Lead After X Points

Wager on who will have most points after the listed number of points have been played. Draw will be an option and will be the winner if tied at that stage. Should Draw not be offered, and the score is tied, then bets will be cancelled.

Race to x Points

Wager on which team/player will reach the specified points tally first. Should neither team reach the total, and a ‘Neither’ option is not offered, then bets on that market will be cancelled.

Who will win nth point

Wager on who will win the named point. Should the point not take place, bets will be cancelled.

Tournament Winner

Wager on which team/player will win the named tournament. Should a participant take no part in the competition then bets on them will be cancelled. Should they withdraw or be disqualified after the tournament begins, then bets on them will stand.

Team to be Relegated

Wager on which teams will occupy the relegation places at the end of the season. All future changes, which may occur for whatever reason, are deemed irrelevant for this bet.

Will the Xth 7-meter be scored?

For the outcome of this bet to be "Yes", the 7-meter needs to be scored on the 1st attempt. If the 1st attempt either hits the goalkeeper or the goal posts and the player scores on the 2nd attempt after the ball returns, the outcome "No" will be the winning option.

Mercy Rule

If a mercy rule is called during the match, the score at that time will be used for settlement purposes.
