Betting Rules
These Betting Rules apply to all sportsbook products, live betting features, virtual sports-related markets, cash out tools, bet builder options, and sport-specific betting services made available through Patrick Spins Casino. These rules form an integral part of the general website terms, and by placing a sports bet you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted both these Betting Rules and the wider Terms and Conditions of the platform.
If any market includes separate conditions, promotional rules, or sport-specific settlement notes, those provisions take priority over the general sportsbook rules. Where no special condition applies, the general rules below will govern bet acceptance, settlement, payouts, voids, and disputes.
1. General Principles
Sports betting services are available only to users who are legally entitled to use the platform and who have reached the minimum permitted age of 18 or the higher legal age required in their jurisdiction. The company may suspend, restrict, or close an account at any time where it considers this necessary for legal, regulatory, security, operational, or integrity reasons.
The company may amend these Betting Rules at any time. Any updated version becomes effective once published on the website. It is the customer’s responsibility to check the current rules before placing bets.
2. Data, Prices, and Betting Information
Odds, scores, statistics, fixtures, line-ups, venues, start times, tournament formats, and other event-related details may be supplied by third-party data providers. Such information is displayed in good faith but may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Customers place bets at their own discretion and accept that official sources, governing bodies, or the company’s authoritative settlement data will prevail in the event of any discrepancy.
The company reserves the right to correct obvious pricing mistakes, data feed errors, technical faults, or settlement mistakes. If an incorrect payout has been credited, the company may amend the result, reverse the payout, or recover the affected amount.
3. Bet Types
3.1 Single Bets
A single bet is placed on one selection only. The return is calculated by multiplying the stake by the accepted odds, provided the selection wins.
3.2 Multiple Bets
A multiple bet, also known as an accumulator, combo, or parlay, contains more than one selection. Every included selection must win for the full bet to succeed, unless one or more legs are void. If a leg is void, it is settled at odds of 1.00 and the remaining valid selections continue.
3.3 Common Multiple Formats
Examples include Double for 2 selections, Treble for 3 selections, and Fourfold, Fivefold, and higher combinations for larger accumulators. Displayed returns assume that all selections win.
3.4 System Bets
A system bet is made up of several smaller combinations from a larger group of selections. Unlike an accumulator, a system bet may still return a payout even if not every selection wins. Settlement depends on how many combinations remain successful under the chosen system format.
4. Market Types
4.1 Match Result
Match Result, often shown as 1X2, allows the customer to back the home side, the draw, or the away side. Where American fixture formatting is used, home and away references still follow the actual official designation rather than the display order.
4.2 Correct Score
This market requires the exact score to be predicted for the event or the named portion of the event.
4.3 Over/Under Totals
This market relates to whether the total number of goals, points, runs, games, or similar occurrences ends above or below the published line. If the final total lands exactly on a whole-number line and no exact result option exists, bets are void.
4.4 Odd/Even
This market settles on whether the final relevant total is odd or even. Zero is treated as even unless otherwise stated.
4.5 Draw No Bet
Draw No Bet removes the draw as a losing outcome. If the event ends level, stakes are refunded.
4.6 Half-Time/Full-Time
This market combines the result at the halfway point with the final result at full time.
4.7 Double Chance
Double Chance combines two possible outcomes in one selection, such as Home or Draw, Away or Draw, or either team to win.
4.8 Handicap Markets
Handicap betting adjusts the score or result by a stated margin before settlement. This may include 3-way European handicaps, 2-way handicaps, and Asian handicap formats. For split Asian handicaps, the stake is divided equally across the two listed lines and each part settles separately.
4.9 Timeframe Markets
Where a market refers to a time period, that period is interpreted strictly according to the displayed clock range. For example, “within the first 15 minutes” means from 00:00 to 14:59.
4.10 Bet Builder
Bet Builder allows multiple selections from the same event to be combined into one custom wager. Every component selection must win for the bet to succeed. If one component is void, the entire Bet Builder is void unless stated otherwise in the market-specific terms.
5. Bet Acceptance and Confirmation
A bet is only valid when it has been successfully accepted through the official platform and a corresponding bet reference or receipt has been generated. If no valid confirmation is issued, the bet is not deemed accepted.
Pre-match bets must be placed before the official start time or before the market closes, whichever occurs first. Live bets are subject to additional delay, acceptance review, and timing controls. The company may refuse any bet in whole or in part, withhold acceptance, or later void a bet that was accepted in error.
The customer is responsible for checking the final contents of the bet slip before confirming a wager, including the selection, odds, line, stake, and any odds-change settings enabled for live betting.
6. Void Bets and Bet Cancellation
A void bet is a cancelled bet that results in the return of the stake. If a void selection is included in a multiple bet, that selection will be settled at odds of 1.00 unless otherwise stated.
The company may void, cancel, or refuse payment on bets in circumstances including but not limited to:
- technical or trading errors;
- obvious pricing mistakes or incorrect odds;
- bets placed after the outcome was materially known or should have been suspended;
- incorrect scores, statistics, or event data used as a basis for betting;
- event manipulation, fraud, collusion, or criminal conduct;
- bonus abuse, arbitrage, or systematic exploitation of the sportsbook;
- use of automation, bots, scripts, or unauthorised betting tools;
- accounts used by persons other than the registered holder;
- dependent or related contingency selections accepted in error.
Bets may also be void where an event is abandoned, postponed beyond the stated completion period, never takes place, is listed incorrectly, includes the wrong participants, or is materially altered in a way that changes its betting basis.
7. Related Contingencies
Selections whose outcomes directly affect one another may not be combined in the same multiple or system bet unless the sportsbook explicitly permits it. If dependent combinations are accepted in error, the company may void them or recalculate the wager according to the applicable sportsbook logic.
8. Ante-Post and Outright Betting
Unless otherwise stated, ante-post and outright bets are accepted on an all-in basis, meaning all selections stand whether they participate or not. If a market is specifically labelled Non-Runner No Bet, stakes will be refunded for non-participants. For outrights, settlement is based on the official result declared by the governing body or competition organiser.
9. Results, Settlement, and Payouts
All bets are settled according to the official result published by the relevant governing body, competition organiser, or other recognised official source used by the company. In the absence of an official result, the company may use trustworthy independent evidence to determine settlement.
Unless a sport-specific rule states otherwise, later disciplinary changes, reclassifications, appeals, or administrative revisions do not affect bets once settlement has been completed on the official result available at the relevant settlement point.
If an event is postponed or interrupted, bets remain open only if the event is completed within the period stated in the relevant sport-specific rules. Where no special rule exists, events must generally be completed by midnight local time on the day after the scheduled start date. Otherwise, unsettled bets are void.
If part of a market has already been unconditionally determined before an interruption, that determined portion will stand.
10. Dead Heat Rules
If two or more selections tie for a winning position and no specific tie option was offered, dead heat rules apply. The stake is divided by the number of tied winners and the winning portion is settled at the original odds. The remaining portion is treated as losing.
11. Cash Out
The company may offer a Cash Out feature on selected bets and events. Cash Out allows the customer to settle all or part of a bet before the underlying event has finished. A cash-out request is treated as a transaction subject to normal sportsbook controls and may be refused, repriced, suspended, reversed, or cancelled if affected by errors, latency, technical faults, incorrect market conditions, or integrity concerns.
Cash Out is not guaranteed to be available at all times, even on bets where it was previously displayed.
12. Rule 4 Deductions
Where a withdrawal of a participant materially changes the competitive balance of a market, the company may apply a deduction to winnings in order to preserve fair pricing. Such deductions are commonly used in horse racing but may apply to other sports where an official participant is removed after odds have been formed. The percentage deduction is based on the withdrawn selection’s price at the time of withdrawal.
13. Live Betting
Live betting is offered on selected events and is especially sensitive to transmission delays, data feed delays, and timing discrepancies. The company reserves the right to void live bets struck at outdated prices, on outdated data, or during moments where the market should reasonably have been suspended.
Live betting may be suspended at any time because of delays, technical issues, suspicious activity, integrity concerns, or data-provider interruptions. Customers who enable odds-change acceptance acknowledge that live odds may be accepted at a higher or lower price than the price visible at the moment of clicking the button.
14. Sport-Specific Rules
In addition to the general sportsbook rules above, the following sport-specific principles apply.
14.1 3×3 Basketball
All bets are settled on the official result, including overtime where applicable. If a match is not completed, only markets already unconditionally determined will stand; all others are void.
14.2 American Football
Official league results are used for settlement. Overtime counts for most markets unless the market explicitly refers to a specific regulation segment. If a game is abandoned before completion, bets are void except for markets already determined. Player-based markets may require the named player to be officially active for bets to stand.
14.3 Athletics
Bets are settled on the official result of the governing body. Bets on athletes who never take part in any required stage of the competition are void unless the market specifically states otherwise.
14.4 Australian Rules Football
Settlement is based on regulation time unless otherwise stated. If the match ends tied and no tie option is offered, relevant winner bets are void. Unfinished quarter or half markets are void unless already decided.
14.5 Badminton
Official results apply. If a match is not completed, unsettled markets are void unless already unconditionally decided. Official point deductions are considered only for markets not yet determined.
14.6 Baseball
Official results apply. Extra innings count unless otherwise stated. Postponed or abandoned games follow sport-specific inning thresholds and restart rules. Where listed pitchers are part of the market basis, both listed pitchers must start and throw at least one pitch unless the market rules state otherwise.
14.7 Basketball
3-way markets are settled at the end of regulation time. Overtime counts for 2-way winner, totals, handicap, player props, and most other markets unless explicitly excluded. If a match is abandoned, all undetermined markets are void. For player props, the named player must take the court for bets to stand unless the market says otherwise.
14.8 Beach Volleyball
Official results apply. Golden Sets used only to determine progression are ignored for settlement unless stated otherwise. Unfinished matches are void except for determined markets.
14.9 Bowls
Bets follow official results. Incomplete matches result in void bets unless the outcome of the relevant market has already been settled by play.
14.10 Boxing
A bout is considered to have started when the first-round bell sounds. If a bout is postponed beyond the permitted rescheduling window, bets are void unless the wider event rules provide otherwise. If a fighter is replaced, bets on the original bout are void. Round-based markets are void if the scheduled number of rounds changes. A no-contest voids all bets unless a market was already fully determined under the applicable rules.
14.11 Cricket
Cricket markets are settled by the official result and scorecard. Super Overs count only where the relevant market expressly includes them. For many innings, player, total, over, and session markets, minimum overs thresholds apply. If those thresholds are not met and the market has not already been determined, the bet is void. First-class and Test markets may require a minimum number of overs, and many limited-overs markets require at least 80 percent of the scheduled overs to remain valid.
Where a market refers to a specific delivery, ball, over, wicket, partnership, player runs, player wickets, innings runs, session runs, dot balls, extras, or similar micro-market, settlement is based on the official scorecard and the market-specific definitions published by the sportsbook. Illegal deliveries, wides, no balls, free hits, retirements, concussion replacements, reduced innings, and rain interruptions are treated according to those official definitions and the specific rules of the named market.
14.12 E-Cricket
E-cricket markets are settled on the declared official result of the simulation or event provider. If no official result is available, bets are void unless the market outcome was already determined. Technical interruptions may result in void bets unless the match resumes within the permitted time window and an official result is produced.
14.13 Curling
Bets follow official results. Incomplete matches are void except for markets already determined.
14.14 Cycling
Official classifications at the podium or official result point are used for settlement. Riders not starting are void selections. Riders starting but not finishing are treated as losers unless the market rules say otherwise. Shared times are settled according to the official standings.
14.15 Darts
If no dart is thrown, bets are void. If a match begins but is not completed, the player officially progressing is treated as the winner for match betting, while other unfinished markets are void unless already determined. Set or leg-based markets are void if the scheduled format changes or cannot be completed naturally.
14.16 E-Sports
Official organiser, broadcast, or game-source results govern settlement. Unplayed or excessively delayed matches are void. Replays, walkovers, map advantages, surrender wins, and disconnect-related restarts are handled according to the event format and the rules specific to pre-match and in-play markets.
14.17 Floorball
Official results apply. Incomplete matches are void except for determined markets.
14.18 Football
Unless otherwise stated, football bets are settled on 90 minutes plus injury time and exclude extra time and penalties. Matches not played in the standard two-half format may be void unless explicitly offered on different terms. If a match is postponed, it must usually be completed by midnight local time on the following day for bets to stand, unless sport-specific rules state otherwise.
Goalscorer markets ignore own goals unless expressly included. Bookings markets count only cards shown to players active on the field and before the final whistle. Corners count only when taken. Asian handicap, bookings points, corners, scorer markets, and Bet Builder combinations follow the football-specific definitions published in the market itself.
Outright markets settle on official league tables, tournament winners, or top-scorer data according to the published competition rules. Administrative changes made after the recognised settlement point do not affect settled bets.
14.19 Futsal
Official results apply. Unless otherwise stated, extra time and penalties are excluded from settlement. Incomplete matches are void except for markets already determined.
14.20 GAA
Official results govern settlement. Unless specifically stated otherwise, only regulation time including injury time counts.
14.21 Golf
Results at the official trophy presentation or equivalent official completion point are final. Play-offs count where needed to determine a winner. Outrights, match bets, 3-balls, top finish positions, group bets, and hole-by-hole markets follow the official tournament format. Players who do not tee off are void. Withdrawals and disqualifications after participation are normally treated as losing selections in outrights and as specified in head-to-head rules.
14.22 Handball
Official results apply. Most markets are based on regular time only unless otherwise stated. If the match is not completed, unsettled markets are void unless already determined.
14.23 Ice Hockey
Official results apply. Overtime and shoot-outs count for most markets unless the market specifically refers to 60-minute regulation settlement. For shoot-outs, the winning team may be credited with one goal for settlement where the market rules require it.
14.24 Kabaddi
Bets are usually settled on the score at the end of scheduled regulation time. Venue changes do not automatically void bets if the official home designation remains materially unchanged.
14.25 Motor Sport
Settlement is based on official results at the podium presentation or equivalent official classification point. Later penalties or amendments do not count unless they were already reflected in the official result used for settlement. Race abandonment, classification thresholds, non-qualifiers, session participation, and match bets are handled according to the rules of the relevant series such as Formula One, WRC, or NASCAR.
14.26 Pesapallo
Official results apply. Incomplete matches are void except for determined markets.
14.27 Pickleball
Official results govern settlement. If a match is not completed, undetermined markets are void. Official point deductions are considered for markets not yet determined.
14.28 Politics
Politics bets are typically all-in. Candidates who withdraw or never officially stand are losing selections unless the market states otherwise. Multiples on politics markets are not accepted unless specifically allowed. Settlement is based on the official counted vote result used at the declared completion point of the election.
14.29 Rugby Union and Rugby League
Unless the market expressly states otherwise, bets are settled on 80 minutes of play only. Extra time does not count for standard markets. First-try scorer and anytime-try scorer markets apply the player participation rules stated in the relevant market notes.
14.30 Snooker
A snooker match is considered started at the break-off of the first frame. If a match begins but is not completed, the player progressing is the winner for match betting, while most other markets are void unless already decided. Re-racks are handled according to the timing of the wager and the state of the frame.
14.31 Specials
Specials markets, including entertainment, Eurovision, and reality television, are settled according to the official published result or programme outcome. All-in principles, dead heat rules, and specific market conditions apply as described in the respective special category.
14.32 Squash
Official results apply. Incomplete matches are void except for markets already determined. Official point deductions are recognised for undetermined markets only.
14.33 Table Tennis
Official results govern settlement. If a match is abandoned, markets already guaranteed by the score at interruption may stand, while others are void. Official point deductions apply only to undetermined markets.
14.34 Tennis
Venue changes, surface changes, date changes, and temporary delays do not normally void bets. A tennis match is deemed started when the first serve is struck. If a match is abandoned or a player retires, bets are void unless the relevant market has already been determined. Set betting, correct score, handicap, game winner, and point winner markets are subject to the specific completion requirements of the set or game in question.
14.35 UFC and MMA
A fight starts at the first-round bell. If a fighter is replaced, the original bout is void. Changes to scheduled rounds or round length may void relevant round-based markets. If a fight ends in no contest or any form of declared draw and no draw option was offered, all bets are void unless a market had already been conclusively determined under the published rules.
14.36 Volleyball
Official results apply. Incomplete matches are void except for markets already determined. Golden Sets used only for qualification purposes are ignored unless the market states otherwise.
14.37 Water Polo
Official results apply. Incomplete matches are void except for determined markets.
14.38 Winter Sports
Bets are settled on official results. Certain head-to-head and event markets are void if competitors fail to start, both finish in the same position, or official event conditions materially change, such as hill changes in ski jumping. If only one competitor completes the event, that competitor is normally the winner for settlement purposes.
15. Irregular Play, Integrity, and Prohibited Betting Behaviour
Dishonest, manipulative, or irregular sportsbook behaviour is strictly prohibited, whether or not every specific method is expressly listed in these rules. The company may investigate suspected abuse for up to 75 days and may restrict the account during that period.
Examples of prohibited behaviour include, but are not limited to:
- combining dependent events in multiples or systems;
- betting on events in which the customer is participating or has direct inside involvement;
- syndicate or coordinated betting designed to evade stake or payout limits;
- repeated bets on the same combinations to exceed maximum permitted payout;
- arbitrage, bonus abuse, or exploitation of turnover requirements;
- use of accounts on behalf of others or passing betting instructions between linked users.
Bets struck at odds below the minimum qualifying threshold for turnover requirements, as well as cash-outs where excluded, may not count toward promotional or deposit rollover obligations.
If irregular or abusive betting behaviour is identified, the company may void the relevant bets, remove winnings, block the account, withhold payouts, or take any additional action permitted under the wider Terms and Conditions.
16. Language and Interpretation
The original version of these Betting Rules is drafted in English. Where any translation exists, the English version will prevail in the event of any inconsistency, ambiguity, or conflict of interpretation.
17. Final Provision
All sportsbook activity at Patrick Spins Casino is governed by these Betting Rules, the general platform Terms and Conditions, the rules of the relevant sport or market, any applicable promotional terms, and the official settlement data used by the company. By placing a bet, the customer confirms acceptance of all of the above.
