Related contingency betting
Multiple bets which combine
different selections within
the same event are not accepted
where the outcome of one affects
or is affected by the other.
For example, in a soccer match
involving Liverpool and Fulham:
If Liverpool are 'evens' to
win at home to Fulham and the
correct score odds for Liverpool
to win 1-0 is 8-1, by having
the double Liverpool to win
and the correct score to be
1-0, a customer would be getting
17-1 about an 8-1 chance, for
if Liverpool win 1-0 they would
automatically have won the match.
If such a bet is taken in error
it will be settled as two single
bets with the stake equally
divided.
An exception to this rule is
where special odds are offered
for the combined eventuality,
e.g. First Player to Score/Correct
Score Double, known as a Scorecast.
When the related parts of a
bet are resolved at different
times but still within the same
tournament, the bet will be
settled as instructed, with
the price of the second or subsequent
selection being determined at
each individual stage.
For example, a double selects:
Nadal to win the semi final
of Wimbledon, and
Nadal to win the Wimbledon tournament
outright
As the odds of the second selection
depends on the outcome of the
first, the odds of Nadal winning
the tournament at the time the
bet was struck cannot be used
to calculate the double, and
the correct odds after the initial
selection is completed will
be attributed instead.
* Multiple bets which combine
different selections within
different events are also not
accepted where the outcome of
one affects or is affected by
the other.
For example, a double selecting:
King's Best to win the 2000
Guineas
King's Best to win the Derby
As the odds for King's Best
to win the Derby depend on whether
he wins the 2000 Guineas, the
odds for him to win the Derby
at the time the bet was struck
cannot be used to calculate
the double. A special price
to win both races will be quoted
instead.
* In the case of all multiples
including selections with related
outcomes, if a bet is taken
inadvertently almostinvegas.com
reserves the right to void part
of or the whole of the bet.
* Customers may only wager with
the amount of cleared funds
held in their account.
* Internet gambling may be illegal
in the jurisdiction in which
you are located; if so, you
are not authorised to use your
payment card to complete the
transaction. However any bets
accepted from such jurisdictions
will stand, win or lose.
* By registering a new account,
the customer is deemed to have
accepted and understood all
the rules, terms and conditions
displayed on the website by
almostinvegas.com.
* All customer offers are limited
to one per person, family, household
address, email address, telephone
number, same payment account
number (e.g. debit or credit
card, neteller etc), and shared
computer, eg. school, public
library or workplace. We reserve
the right to withdraw the availability
of any offer or all offers to
any customer or group of customers.
Offers only apply to customers
who have made a real money deposit
with almostinvegas.com.
* Where any term of the offer
or promotion is breached or
there is any evidence of a series
of bets placed by a customer
or group of customers, which
due to a deposit bonus, enhanced
payments, free bets or any other
promotional offer results in
guaranteed customer profits
irrespective of the outcome,
whether individually or as part
of a group, almostinvegas.com
reserves the right to reclaim
the bonus element of such offers
and in their absolute discretion
either settle bets at the correct
odds, void the free bets or
void any bet funded by the deposit
bonus. In addition almostinvegas.com
reserve the right to levy an
administration charge on the
customer up to the value of
the deposit bonus, free bet
or additional payment to cover
administrative costs. We further
reserve the right to ask any
customer to provide sufficient
documentation for us to be satisfied
in our absolute discretion as
to the customer?s identity prior
to us crediting any bonus, free
bet or offer to their account.
* Any bets placed containing
selections at odds of less than
1/2 will not count towards any
rollover requirement. All almostinvegas.com
offers are intended for recreational
players and almostinvegas.com
may in our sole discretion limit
the eligibility of customers
to participate in any promotion.
* If the value of a deposit
is not played through in full
before a withdrawal is requested,
almostinvegas.com reserve the
right to make a charge to the
customers account to cover all
reasonable costs relating to
both the deposit and withdrawal.
If necessary the value of the
withdrawal requested may be
reduced accordingly. If the
deposit method of the account
is Ukash or Paysafecard and
the value of a deposit is not
played through in full before
a withdrawal is requested, or
there is any evidence of a series
of bets placed which results
in guaranteed customer profits
irrespective of the outcome,
or where all the wagering is
determined to be low risk, almostinvegas.com
reserves the right to request
a receipt showing proof of purchase
of the voucher before any withdrawals
are processed.
* Obvious errors pre-event -
if an error is noticed prior
to the start of an event/match,
all bets will be void irrespective
of the outcome. We will endeavour
to contact the customer to allow
the choice of placing another
bet at the correct price/spread/handicap/totals
at the time the bet was placed,
or the current price/spread/handicap/totals
if bigger. If an error is noticed
after the start of an event/match,
all losing bets will be made
void, and all winning bets will
be settled at the correct odds/spreads/handicap/totals
at the time the bet was placed.
* Obvious errors in-play - when
it is clear which participant
is the wrong price, bets on
this participant will be settled
at the intended almostinvegas.com
price at the time the bet was
placed. If it is unclear which
participant was the wrong price
(due to large fluctuations around
the time a bet was placed),
then we reserve the right to
void all bets placed at the
time of an over-broke book.
For incorrect spreads, handicaps
or totals, bets will be void
irrespective of the outcome.
* If an incorrect participant
is quoted for any match, all
bets placed on that match will
be void, win or lose.
* almostinvegas.com will seek
criminal and contractual sanctions
against any customer involved
in fraud, dishonesty or criminal
acts. almostinvegas.com will
withhold payment to any customer
where any of these are suspected.
The customer shall indemnify
and shall be liable to pay to
almostinvegas.com, on demand,
all costs, charges or losses
sustained or incurred by almostinvegas.com
(including any direct, indirect
or consequential losses, loss
of profit and loss of reputation)
arising directly or indirectly
from the customer?s fraud, dishonesty
or criminal act.
* almostinvegas.com reserve
the right to withhold payment
and to declare bets on an event
void if we have evidence that
the following has occurred:
(i) the integrity of the event
has been called into question
(ii) the price(s) or pool has
been manipulated (iii) matchrigging
has taken place. Evidence of
the above may be based on the
size, volume or pattern of bets
placed with almostinvegas.com
across any or all of our betting
channels. A decision given by
the relevant governing body
of the sport in question (if
any) will be conclusive. If
any customer owes any money
to almostinvegas.com for any
reason, we have the right to
take that into account before
making any payments to that
customer.
* Where there is evidence of
a series of bets each containing
the same selection(s) having
been placed by or for the same
individual or syndicate of individuals,
almostinvegas.com reserves the
right to make bets void or withhold
payment of returns pending the
outcome of any subsequent investigation.
* For events where there is
no official 'off' declared,
the advertised start time of
the event will be deemed the
'off'. If for any reason a bet
is inadvertently accepted after
an event or match has commenced
(other than live In-Play betting
clearly indicated on our website),
bets will stand providing the
final outcome is not known,
and that no participant/team
has gained any material advantage
(eg. a score, sending off for
the other team, etc) at the
time the bet was placed. If
the outcome of an event/market
is known almostinvegas.com reserve
the right to void the bet, win
or lose. Disputes over times
bets are placed will be settled
using the transaction log. All
times stated on the website
and/or referred to by almostinvegas.com
staff relate to UK Time unless
stated otherwise.
* In-Play betting - where we
have reason to believe that
a bet is placed after the outcome
of an event is known, or after
the selected participant or
team has gained a material advantage
(eg. a score, sending off for
the other team etc) we reserve
the right to void the bet, win
or lose.
* If for any reason we are unable
to validate the outcome of a
particular market (eg. due to
loss of live pictures), all
bets will be void, unless settlement
of bets is already determined.
* Where a customer gives ambiguous
instructions almostinvegas.com
reserves the right to split
the amount of monies staked
between the potential outcomes.
Where this is impractical we
reserve the right to void the
whole of that bet. In any event
the decision of almostinvegas.com
is final.
