Available Bet Types: Moneylines, Round Wagering, Proposition wagers, Parlays, Live Wagering, Future Fights (If available)
BOXING
Round Wagering: For this type of wager, you are wagering on a boxer to win the fight outright in this particular round e.g. the fight is finished during the chosen round.
Round Wagering Rules:
Subject to the following rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be changed before the commencement of the contest, all round by round wagers will stand.
Notwithstanding the above rule, should, for any reason, the scheduled number of rounds be decreased before the commencement of the contest, all round by round wagers on the dropped rounds will be void. Wagers on all the remaining rounds will stand.
Where a contest finishes before the completion of the scheduled number of rounds and, for any reason, the winner is decided by the judges' scorecards (technical decision/technical draw) then all round wagers will be deemed losers.
Where a contest finishes before the scheduled number of rounds due to an accidental injury and the winner is not determined by the judges' scorecards, all wagers will be void.
For Will the Fight Go the Distance (or similarly titled) markets, should the scheduled number of rounds change, this market will be made void. Will The Fight Go the Distance is a wager on whether the fight will go the full amount of scheduled rounds.
Method of Victory: You are wagering on your selection and the method they will win the fight.
Technical Decision/Draw Information:
If a fight is scheduled for more than four rounds and, after four rounds, an accidental foul occurs which causes an injury (further to which the referee stops the fight), the fight will be deemed to have resulted in a technical decision in favor of the boxer who is ahead on the scorecards at the time the fight is stopped (and all markets on the fight will stand).
If the accidental injury/ technical decision occurs during the first 4 rounds, all wagers will be made void UNLESS the result of the relevant market has already been unequivocally determined or if the judges' scorecards are used to determine an official winner at ringside.
If an intentional foul causes an injury and the injury results in the fight being stopped in a later round: (i) the injured boxer will be deemed to have won by technical decision if he is ahead on the scorecards and (ii) the fight will result in a 'technical draw' if the injured boxer is behind or even on the scorecards (and, for settlement purposes. the result of the fight will be deemed to be a draw).
For wagering purposes wagering on rounds or a group of rounds is for a fighter to win by KO, TKO or disqualification during that round or group of rounds. In the event of a technical decision before the end of the fight all wagers will be settled as a win by decision. Round wagers will be deemed losers.
What you need to know:
Results will be based on the official result at ringside with the
exception of a technical draw, which can be defined as accidental injury or foul. (the rules for which are set out in the "Technical Decision / Draw" section below)
Results are not official for wagering purposes until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Should an official or unofficial sanctioning body overturn a fight decision based on an appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result or any other fighter sanction, this will not be recognized for wagering purposes and the wager will stand.
Should a contest be postponed, wagers will stand if the rescheduled event occurs within 48 hours. Otherwise, all wagers in relation to the contest will be void.
In the event of a 'no contest' being declared, all wagers will be made void, with the exception of selections where the outcome has already been unequivocally determined.
Should there be a substitution for one of the boxers, wagers on the original contest will be void.
Should there be a change in the manner in which a contest is advertised (e.g. a contest changes from a title fight to a non-title fight) wagers will stand.
Match wagering markets where no draw selection is offered will be made void if the match ends in a draw.
In fights where the scheduled number of rounds changes, all wagers will stand unless the rounds for specific wagers get canceled. For example, if a fight gets changed from a 12 to a 10 round fight, wagers on rounds 11 and 12 will be void.
