Auto Racing Rules

NASCAR/CART/IRL

To Win Race Outright

You may wager on a driver to win the race at the fixed odds provided. The race must be run within one week of the scheduled off time for there to be action. The official governing body’s winner of the race shall be the winner of the race for wagering purposes; this includes all races which are halted prematurely for any reason.

If changes are subsequently made due to appeals or decisions of Nascar, relating to the original finishing order (i.e.. penalties for rules infractions, dangerous driving, etc.) the original results will still be deemed as the official results for grading purposes. Appeals and administrative penalties are not applicable for betting purposes.

Any drivers who do not qualify for the race will be deemed no action.

The 'Field' includes any driver who is not listed

In a case where the starting driver is replaced during the race with another driver from the same team, the position the new driver finishes in will be awarded to the original driver. For Example: Driver A starts the race, but due to injury is replaced after 30 laps by a replacement driver, Driver B, who then finishes the race and places 2nd. In the race standings and for betting purposes, driver A would be credited with a 2nd place finish. This holds for wagering on to win outright and/or match-ups.

We reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersalls rule 4c to reflect returning stakes on non-runners.

Race Match-Ups

When wagering on a match-up, both drivers involved must start the race (cross the start/finish line) otherwise the wager is "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and money is refunded. All match-ups will be settled as per the official Nascar result. If one driver fails to complete the race, the other driver will be declared the winner. Where both drivers fail to complete the race, the number of full laps completed will determine the result. If both drivers fail to complete on the same lap, the official placing as assigned by the controlling authority will determine the result.

If any driver is replaced before the start of the race, all match-ups will be void. Example: Driver A qualifies in 1st place but due to injury is replaced by Driver B (all wagers void).

Qualifying Match-Ups

Qualifying match-ups are graded based on qualifying times (not the starting line-up). If two or more drivers have the exact equal qualifying time, to the thousandth of a second, then the matchup will be graded as a push/cancel. The starting position where Nascar places them in this instance is not relevant for betting purposes.

Qualifying match-ups are deemed to have action as soon as the driver starts the qualifying lap and the timer begins.
If a driver has started the qualifying lap, but does not post a time because of mechanical failure, accident, etc. the wager will still be graded as action.

If the driver fails to start the match for any reason, then the wager will be graded as no action, and money refunded.
If a driver starts a qualifying session, but fails to post a time, then the driver will be deemed to have no time, which is the slowest time possible. If two drivers are matched up against each other, and neither posts a time, the matchup will be graded as a push/cancel.

All qualifying matchups are closed at the start of first practice. Any qualifying wagers made after the first practice session has begun will be graded as no action, and the wagers will be refunded.

In the event of qualifying not being completed, all qualifying wagers will be no action

Race Propositions

All race propositions will be graded if the race is run to at least half of the scheduled laps with the exception of "average speed for the race." Average speed will only be paid out if the race is run to the full scheduled number of laps. If the race is halted prior to the scheduled number of laps, then the average speed contest will be graded as no action, and the wagers will be refunded.

Race group Betting
The winner is the driver achieving the highest placing at the time of the podium presentation. If all drivers in the group fail to be classified, the driver completing the most laps will be deemed the winner. If all drivers in the group fail to be classified and two or more drivers retired on the same lap, dead-heat rules apply. Drivers are grouped together for betting purposes only. Any non-runners lead to the cancellation of all wagers for that particular group

Formula 1

All race wagers are settled on the official FIA classification at the time of the podium presentation, with subsequent disqualifications disregarded

All drivers who complete 90% of the race laps are deemed as classified finishers in line with the official FIA classification. However all drivers are given a ranking, and for the purpose of match and positional betting this ranking shall apply.

Any driver who attempts to qualify for the race proper and fails to do so shall be deemed to have taken part, and finished last of the drivers taking part. If two or more drivers fail to qualify, their qualifying lap times will determine their placing in the race result

The start of the race is deemed to be the signal to start the warm up lap. All drivers are in play from this point on. Should 6 or more drivers start the warm up but not the race proper, all wagers on the race futures will be voided.

Season long Constructors championship and Drivers championship

All in compete or not. Wagers will be determined by the number of points accumulated immediately following the final Grand Prix of the season and will not be affected by any subsequent enquiries.

Each participant is priced to be the top driver over the Formula 1 season. Points are accumulated from individual races to decide the Drivers Championship.

Where there is a tie for the World Drivers title, Wagers shall be settled according with most races won, followed by most podium finishes as per FIA rules. However for the purposes of match wagers, betting without, and other derivative markets dead heat rules shall apply.

Each Formula 1 team (constructor) consists of two drivers. Both drivers' accumulated points are combined to give a team tally. Prices are offered for each team to win the Constructors' Championship

Race Outrights

All drivers in place to start the warm up lap are deemed as runners. The podium positions will be used to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd for betting purposes.

From the formation of any race market, wagers are considered to be non-driver no bet. Any wagers on drivers who fail to take part in the race for any reason other than non-qualification shall be deemed void. We reserve the right to deduct the equivalent Tattersalls' rule 4 (c) to reflect returning stakes on non-drivers.(see golf rules for explanation of Tattersalls' rule 4 (c))

Top 3/8 Finish

The result for settlement is at the time of the podium presentation. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect wagers.

Race Matchps

For race match betting the driver who finishes in the highest position is deemed the winner. In the event of both drivers failing to compete the race, match wagers will be settled on the official Formula 1 result. Wagers stand once drivers partake in qualifying.

1st driver to retire

1st driver to retire is a wager on which driver will be the first to retire from the race on Sunday. The wager begins with the signal to start the warm up lap, and the first driver to retire will be deemed to be the first driver to leave the race after this signal.

Race group Betting

The winner is the driver achieving the highest placing at the time of the podium presentation. If all drivers in the group fail to be classified, the driver completing the most laps will be deemed the winner. If all drivers in the group fail to be classified and two or more drivers retired on the same lap, dead-heat rules apply. Drivers are grouped together for betting purposes only. Any non-runners lead to the cancellation of all wagers for that particular group.

Fastest Lap

In each Grand Prix, we offer prices for selected drivers to record the fastest lap of the race. A selection of 'other drivers' is available which encompass all drivers not individually quoted. The official FIA result at the time of the podium presentation for the race will be used.

Motorbikes

Season Long Championship Betting
All in compete or not. Wagers will be determined by the number of points accumulated following the podium presentation of the final race of the season, and will not be affected by any subsequent enquiries

Superbikes - Riders who are in place to start the warm up lap in Race One, are deemed as runners for Race Two as well. No betting deduction (Rule 4) will be made on the remaining riders in Race Two if there are any withdrawals following Race One.
