9.3.4. Any error in venue, time, date, team composition, identity of any competitor or result of any past event in respect of any event advertised by Betfred, shall not entitle the customer to a refund of stakes or to void the bet concerned.

9.4. Dead Heat

9.4.1. In the event of a dead heat (tie), where odds were not offered by Betfred on such an outcome, bets will be paid at the face value of the ticket divided by the number of competitors tying for that placing. Place ties will only be paid on an event for which place betting was available, and the winnings thereon, will be calculated by dividing the value of the ticket by the remaining number of places available, and divided by the number of competitors tying for those available number of placings. In horse racing bets, your stake will be split by the number of other horse(s) in the dead heat, and multiplied at the odds of your bet, and you will lose the balance of the stake. Dead heat rules are calculated and applied in accordance with the applicable Gambling Board legislation.

9.8. Special events

9.9.1. In all betting relating to sports other than horse racing, the terms and conditions relating to betting on horses shall mutatis mutandis apply to all circumstances not covered by the specific sports discipline rules.

9.10. Maximum Winning

As a definition, Customer shall mean a customer, bettor, punter or syndicate of customers or any group of people acting in conjunction with each other, as may be determined by Betfred in its sole discretion.

9.10.1. If a number of bets containing the same or substantially similar selections are placed by more than one customer or by the same customer across multiple bets or tickets, and Betfred has reason to believe that these bets originated from or were placed on behalf of the same customer (including the same customer acting alone), syndicate of customers or any group of people acting in conjunction with each other (including, but not limited to, circumstances where bets are split into multiple tickets due to limits imposed by the wagering system, trading platform or risk management controls) as may be determined by Betfred in its sole discretion, Betfred reserves the right to: 1. Treat such bets as a single combined bet for settlement purposes, and/or 2. Void, refuse or restrict any bets or portions of bets which exceed system-imposed limits, or which are deemed to have been intentionally structured to circumvent such limits and/or, 3. Limit the total winnings payable in respect thereof to the maximum amount that a single customer may win on one day’s trading, being R15 000 000.00 (Fifteen Million) Rands, save in respect of the exceptions as aforesaid. Betfred, in its sole discretion, shall determine if a bet has been placed by a nominee or on behalf of a single customer and Betfred’s decision in that regard shall be final and binding.  The acceptance of any individual bet or ticket shall not be construed as acceptance of the total combined stake where system limits have been exceeded.

9.10.2. Where bets have been placed on different days in respect of an event or events held on the same day, the maximum amount that one customer may win on one day’s trading is determined by the day that the final event/market is resolved, and not on the individual day on which each bet was placed and accordingly limited to a maximum amount of R15 000 000.00 (Fifteen Million) Rand per customer per day per event, save in respect of the exceptions as aforesaid.

9.10.3. Where a soccer multiple has 7 or more legs but also includes an event from another sport or horse racing, such multiple shall fall within the maximum winning category of that sport or horse racing.

9.10.4. Any bet placed by a customer in excess of the pay-out limit will be accepted, whether they are winning or losing bets, and paid out subject to the pay-out limits prescribed.

9.11. Related Bets

9.11.1. No related bets, (where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes or determines another part of the bet), will be accepted. If a related bet is accepted, the stake of the single bet will be divided and applied and paid equally over the respective events in the bet. Betfred, in its sole discretion, shall determine if a bet is a related bet, and Betfred’s decision in that regard shall be final and binding.

9.12. Multiple Bets

9.12.1. If any selection in a multiple bet becomes or is deemed void the money staked on that part of the bet which is void shall be placed on the remaining selections which comprise the multiple bet and the remaining selections of the bet shall stand. For example, if one match in a quadruple bet becomes void, the bet becomes a treble. If one bet of a multiple bet remains, that bet will stand as a single bet.

9.12.2. No multiple bet will be accepted where two legs of the multiple bet can be placed on and relate to the same individual event. For example, where one leg of a double is for Rosberg to qualify in pole position for the Monza Grand Prix and the second leg is for him to win the Monza Grand Prix. The two bets are connected in that they relate to the same race. Should any bets be erroneously accepted by Betfred, the stakes will be equally divided between the selections which are connected.

9.13. Payment in respect of a bet

9.13.1. In the application form, the Customer shall indicate that-

9.13.1.1. the Customer wishes to bet against a cash deposit placed with Betfred from time to time or an amount of cash to be drawn by Betfred as deposit from the Customers credit card account.

9.13.1.2. The Customer shall under no circumstances place a bet or attempt to place a bet, the amount of which, together with any other bets then outstanding, exceeds the Customers credit balance with Betfred or the Customers credit card company, as the case may be, or the net amount on deposit with Betfred (after adjustment of taxes, winnings and losses up to the time of placing of the bet). It shall be the Customers responsibility before placing a bet to determine whether his credit balance or cash deposit, as the case may be, will be exceeded by placing a bet. If Betfred nevertheless accepts such a bet, it shall be entitled either prior to, during or after the outcome of the event or contingency upon which the bet was placed, to honour the bet or to refund the Customers stake in the bet irrespective and without any winnings thereon. Alternatively, Betfred may restrict the size of any stake without notification to the Customer to ensure that the credit limit or deposit, as the case may be, is not exceeded.

9.13.1.3. Acceptance by Betfred of a bet over the credit or deposit limit, as the case may be, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights:

9.13.4.1.1. The Customer’s account number must be entered onto the base of the deposit and

9.13.5.5. Betfred may at any time adjust or cancel the Customer’s credit limit.

9.13.5.6. Betfred shall send by post/email a statement of account in respect of the Customer’s account to the Customer at such request. Non-receipt of a statement will not entitle the Customer to withhold any payment to Betfred.
