Motor Racing

a) Podium Positions

Podium positions are final for settlement of individual race markets. The first warm-up lap counts as the start of each race.

b) Curtailment or Abandonment

If a race is curtailed or abandoned and no podium ceremony takes place (i.e. no official result is declared) then all bets, open and closed, shall be void, unless there is an official result in which case bets will be settled by reference to that result.

c) Qualifying Markets

Markets on qualifying performance will be settled according to the race grid prevailing at the start of the first practice session following the completion of qualifying. In a qualifying match bet each driver must complete at least one full lap for bets on that match to stand.

d) Seasonal Points Markets

Seasonal points markets will be advertised on the basis of a specific number of races at the start of the season. If fewer than the stipulated number of races take place then the drivers' and constructors' points will be adjusted pro rata. If additional races are added to the schedule, settlement will still be based on the number of races stipulated at the start of the season, irrespective of where they are run. So, if markets are based on the expectation that 16 races will be run, but two additional races are added to the schedule, settlement will be based on the results of the first 16 races to be run irrespective of whether the first 16 races include either of the two additional races.

e) Abandonment; Long-Term Markets

If any Grand Prix is abandoned, or where no official result is declared, then for the purposes of all long-term markets:

(i) the race in question shall be disregarded, if the number of races completed in the season is not less than the number of races stipulated at the start of the season; or

(ii) the market shall be adjusted pro rata, if the number of races completed in the season is less than the number of races stipulated at the start of the season.

f) FIA Rules

The rules of the FIA apply. Settlement of seasonal markets will take into account any ruling (at first instance or on appeal) on drivers' or constructors' points, provided that the ruling is announced before the last race of the season which counts for the purposes of the market.

g) Settlement of Points Markets

Podium positions for the final race of the season (or last of the stipulated number of races, where applicable), will be used for settlement of drivers' or constructors' points, and nothing occurring thereafter shall affect the settlement of those markets.

h) Settlement of Championship Markets

For indices based on the drivers' and constructors' championship, settlement will be based on the podium positions at the last race of the season, and nothing occurring thereafter shall affect the settlement of those markets.

i) Winning Margin

Markets on winning margins will be settled on the official winning margin as the first and second cars cross the winning line. Any time penalty or disqualification incurred after the race by any drivers who finished the race will not be taken into account for the purposes of this market. If only one car finishes, winning margin bets will be settled at the stipulated maximum make-up.
