Settlement of Bets
Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used to settle bets. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.
In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
1st Wicket Method
The options available are: Caught, Bowled, LBW, Run Out, Stumped and Any Other (includes Sent Off/Retired Out). Bets will be settled on the 1st wicket to fall in the match. If no wicket falls during the match then all bets will be deemed no action.

At least one delivery must be bowled, if no wickets fall bets will be deemed no action unless settlement is already determined. Irrespective of how they are incurred, Extras and Penalty Runs will be included for settlement purposes.
Over at Fall of Next Wicket
The over number in which the fall of the specified wicket occurs determines the result of the market. If a team declares or reaches their target then the over number at that time will be the result of the market. For example if a wicket falls after 46.2 overs, we settle on 47th over.
For betting purposes quotes using Under/Over Half Overs e.g. 10.5; the .5 represents the half, as opposed to specifying balls bowled in an over.
Bets will be deemed no action should no more play take place following the intervention of rain, or any other delay, as the ability to reach previous quotes offered will have been removed. If settlement of bets can be determined they will be settled accordingly. e.g. Should a team leave the field due to an intervention during over 17 then previous quotes less than this total will be settled. However, quotes higher than this will be deemed no action.
