Product & Features Terms and Conditions

These Product & Features Terms and Conditions were last updated on the 20th of August 2024 and the updates take effect from that date.

These rules (the ‘Product & Features Terms and Conditions’) are incorporated into and form part of the Sportsbet Rules, Terms & Conditions


1. Cash Out Rules 

1.1. Sportsbet may, in its absolute discretion, accept a request from you to end your original bet early (‘Cash Out’).  Any request to Cash Out (‘Request’) may not be withdrawn.

1.3. Sportsbet may choose to accept or deny your Request in its absolute discretion and without providing a reason or advance notification.  In deciding whether or not to accept a Request by you to Cash Out, Sportsbet will have regard to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or events in respect of which the bet was originally made and which may have already been completed.

1.4. If the original bet that a Request relates to was placed after the beginning of the relevant event (ie "in the run" or "live"), Sportsbet will not accept a Request over the Internet and will only accept or deny a Request via the telephone. Sportsbet will not accept or deny a Request for a Same Game Multi over the telephone. In all other cases, Sportsbet may accept or deny a Request in respect of the bet over the Internet or via the telephone.

1.5.
If Sportsbet accepts your Request:
a. Your original bet will immediately come to an end (will be 'Cashed Out'). Sportsbet will be deemed to have accepted your Request:

i. if you have made the request via the Internet, once a "betting receipt number" is issued through the Website; or

ii. if you have made the request via the telephone by calling 13 BETS, once you either indicate your agreement with the confirmation of Sportsbet's acceptance of your Request as read-back to you by the Sportsbet representative or, if you do not disagree with that confirmation, when the confirmation is read-back to you before the telephone call ends;

iii. if you made the Request during a live event over the telephone using Cash Out Live ('COL'), once Sportsbet confirms over the telephone that the bet has been Cashed Out.

 

1.6. The acceptance by Sportsbet of a Request is an agreement between Sportsbet and you to end the original bet early and for Sportsbet to pay you the Quote in respect of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or events in respect of which the bet was originally made and which may have already been completed. The acceptance by Sportsbet of a Request does not constitute the entry into a new bet.

1.7. Sportsbet is not liable for any loss you may incur in connection with your use of the Cash Out feature or Sportsbet accepting or denying your Request (including any loss incurred due to a delay in Sportsbet accepting or denying your Request).

1.8. Sportsbet may, in its absolute discretion, change, suspend, restrict or cease to offer the Cash Out feature at any time and without providing a reason or advance notification, even where the Cash Out feature has previously been advertised to you as being available at a particular time or in connection with a particular event.  Sportsbet is not liable for any losses incurred by you in connection with such an action being taken (including any losses which arise in connection with promotional material, messaging or social media updates being on display after the time at which such action occurs).

1.12. Sportsbet is not liable, and the customer has no claim, in relation to any decision to Cash Out (or not Cash Out) a bet based on statistics or scores displayed on the Sportsbet platform. These are provided by third party data suppliers and should be used as a guide only. All results will be settled in accordance with Sportsbet’s rules.

1.13. The Cash Out feature is not available for a MultiBet unless each individual leg or event within that MultiBet if eligible for Cash Out

All Requests are considered to be placed and received in the NT, Australia.  Sportsbet does not represent or warrant that any Request made by you on your Account or the acceptance by Sportsbet of a Request complies with the legal requirements of any state or country other than the NT.  You must satisfy yourself of (and assume full responsibility for) the legality of making a Request.

1.15. In the event a telephone conversation between a Sportsbet representative and you in which a Request is being made is interrupted for any reason (including a mobile phone dropping out) prior to the conclusion of the conversation, any unconfirmed Request will be deemed not to have been accepted. In such circumstances, it is your responsibility to contact Sportsbet promptly to confirm the Request you wish to make.

4. MultiBet Rules

4.1 A MultiBet (also known as a Multiple Bet, Parlay, or All Up) is where a Member can select more than one event or competitors in sporting and racing events. For a combination sport/racing MultiBet, the MultiBet must have a minimum of one sporting event included. Each of the odds are multiplied to increase the total dividend.

For Example:

- Selection 1: AFL H2H at $3.30
- Selection 2: NRL H2H at $5
- Selection 3: A golfer in the Masters to win at $6.30
- Selection 4: Horse to win the Melbourne Cup at $4.40,
- Total dividend: would be $457.38 ($3.30 x $5.00 x $6.30 x $4.40)
- A wager of $20 placed on this four leg MultiBet would return $9147.60 including the initial stake.

4.2 Should one runner be scratched or per the individual sporting event rules referring to cancellation or postponement, MultiBets may be recalculated excluding that event or leg and the wager on the remaining selection and the initial stake will stand.

4.3 Except for Same Game MultiBets (see Rule 6 Same Game Mults) Multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of another ('Related Multibet'.) If such bets are inadvertently accepted, Sportsbet reserves the right to declare the whole MultiBet void and funds will be refunded to the Members Betting Account.

4.4 Sportsbet MultiBet’s are subject to Sportsbets Max Payouts Section outlined in General Terms and Conditions

4.7 In the event of a dead heat in one or more Multibet legs, standard Dead Heat Rules apply.

5. Same Game Multi Rules

5.1 Same Game MultiBets are MultiBets where the selections relate to the same event. Sportsbet's MultiBet Rules apply in respect of 'Same Game MultiBets', except for:

5.2 Same Game Multibet odds are calculated based on the relatedness of the selections in the bet and not a multiplication of odds for each selection;

5.3 In the event that a Same Game Multi bet is placed where all selections are completely related contingencies, the bet will be paid out at the highest odds of any single selection.

For example:

Liverpool to win $1.40 into Liverpool to win 3-0 $21 will be paid at $21

Patrick Dangerfield to get 30 or more disposals $1.50 into Patrick Dangerfield to get 35 or more disposals $5 will be paid at $5

5.6 Same Game MultiBets cannot be Cashed Out.

5.7 In the event of a dead heat in one or more Same Game Multi legs, standard Dead Heat Rules apply.

6. Megabets

6.1 A Megabet is a promotional market which is offered at Sportsbet’s discretion.

6.3 If a Megabet is placed which contradicts Rule 6.2, Sportsbet reserves the right to remedy the situation by either (a) voiding the Megabet leg of the MultiBet or (b) voiding the entire wager, at its sole discretion.

6.4 If a Megabet selection(s) is scratched or an event is abandoned, the Megabet(s) will revert to a Single Bet or a MultiBet and will exclude the scratched/abandoned leg. The price of the Single or the reduced MultiBet will revert to a price based on the Top Tote of the remaining selection(s) for racing, or the highest pre-game price offered by Sportsbet for that sport.

6.5 In the event of a Dead Heat in one or more Megabet legs, standard Dead Heat rules apply. 

7. Same Race Multi Rules

7.1. Same Race Multi Bets are Multi Bets where the selections relate to:
(a) runners winning, finishing top 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 in the same event, for races on all racetracks other than those located in NSW; or.
(b) runners winning, finishing top 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the same event, for races on all racetracks located in NSW.
Placings will only be available down to half the field size (with a maximum of top 5 available on NSW racetracks). Sportsbet's Multi Bet Rules apply in respect of 'Same Race MultiBets'.

For example: Winx to finish top 2 ($2.5) into Winx to finish top 3 ($2) will be paid at $2.5

7.4. Same Race Multibet odds are calculated based on the inter-relation of the selections in the bet and not a simple multiplication of odds for each selection

7.5. In the event one or more selections are scratched in a single Same Race Multi bet, that Same Race Multi bet will be voided and stake refunded to the Member. If that bet has been placed into a Multi containing other Single/s or Same Game Multi/s, the SRM leg in the multi will be voided but the remainder of the multi will stand and odds will be revised to take into account the voided leg

7.6. There is a minimum field size of 4 runners for a same race multi to be offered. In the event a field is reduced in size, any Same Race Multi Bets struck prior to the reduction in field size will stand so long as the field size remains greater than the number of places on offer at the time the bet was placed. If the field reduces in size beyond the amount of placings on offer when a same race multi bet was struck, the same race multi bet will be voided.

7.7. Maximum Odds for a Same Race Multi is 10,001

7.8. Same Race Multi Bets cannot be Cashed Out.

7.9. In the event of a dead heat in one or more Same Race Multi legs, standard Dead Heat Rules apply.

Sportsbet may, in its absolute discretion, change, suspend, restrict or cease to offer the Same Race Multi feature at any time and without providing a reason or advance notification, even where the Same Race Multi feature has previously been advertised to you as being available at a particular time or in connection with a particular event.
