Tennis Betting Rules

Question

Accepted Answer

1. All wagers on head-to-head matches have action until the completion of the match, regardless of any delays due to rain or darkness, or change of schedule, a change of date, a change of location or a change of surface.

2. In the event of a match starting but not being completed, all bets will be void unless the result of the wager has already been determined.

If a player is disqualified after the start of the match and the opposing player/team progresses to the next round or is awarded the victory, the opposing player/team will be deemed the winner for settlement purposes.

3. Tennis Futures (Majors): All bets have action, whether or not the player competes.

4. Outright Betting: Player must complete one point in the tournament for bets to have action. Markets may be subject to a Rule 4 deduction.

5. Total Games/Games Handicap: Wagers are determined by the total number of games won by each player in the entire match, +/- the handicap.

If a player is awarded the match due to a withdrawal before the full number of sets are completed, unless the result is already determined at the time of the withdrawal, all handicap and total games on that match will be graded 'No Action'.

6. For bets on total games, a tie-break or champion’s tie-break (first to 10 points) counts as one game.

7. Total Sets: Wagers are graded 'No Action' if either player retires before the match is completed, except in situations where the outcome of the bet is already determined. For example:

If the third set of a match begins, but is not completed, Over 2.5 Sets are the winner.

8. Set Betting: In the event of a retirement or disqualification, all bets will be graded ‘No Action’. If the specified number of sets are changed, bets will also be ‘No Action’.
