Any changes to these results after the fact won’t affect bets that have already been placed. This can include markets for first goal scorer and corners made.

Games that are abandoned before the end of the 90 minutes will also see bets void unless they have been already been settled.

In boxing betting, all bets are paid based on the official result as posted by the governing body of that fight. This means that any appeals or amendments won’t affect the outcome of the market.

Any ground change will only affect outright and tournament winner bets, other bets will stand as long as the new venue is a legal one.
