LinesMaker
does not recognize suspended games, protests, scoring amendments, result
reversals and overturned decisions for wagering purposes.
In order for a
bet to be valid, a customer must receive a bet number confirming from
LinesMaker that the bet has been accepted. This will be via a confirmation
message that will appear on your screen.
Once accepted
bets cannot be cancelled or amended in any way, either by the customer or by
LinesMaker.
Every effort
will be made to ensure that all information available on the the Internet

Live
Scores Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any
inaccuracies in scores posted in our live scores.
All
Bets are Final: Check all bets carefully. Once a
bet is accepted, it cannot be changed.
Limits: Online betting limits are listed under
your betting ticket. These limits are raised during the playoffs.
Special Major League Baseball Rules: Major League
Baseball games are official after 5 innings of play, or 4.5 innings if the
home team is leading. If a game is subsequently called or suspended, the
winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home
team ties the score or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning. Then
the winner will be determined by the score at the time the game is called.
When wagering on total runs or run lines, the game must go the regulation 9
innings, or 8.5 innings if the home team is leading, otherwise it will
constitute a "No Action" wager, and all money will be credited accordingly.
Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to
both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.
Baseball
wagers are accepted as "Listed." In the event of a pitching change prior to
the game, all wagers on a game are considered "No Action". All wagers will
be refunded to the customer's account.
Any and all
baseball series wagers must have all 3 games played by the end of a
specified date for the wager to have action. If all 3 games are not played
by that specified date then all wagers are NO ACTION, regardless if one team
has 2 wins. All 3 games must be official by Las Vegas Gaming Standards (see
our rules regarding baseball wagers and what constitutes an official result)
NOTE:
Each team's starting pitcher is defined for betting purposes as the pitcher
that throws the first pitch.
NOTE:
If we provide a baseball series price for a series that has four games, for
grading purposes, the wager is based on the initial three games.
All baseball
props must go the full 9 (8½ if the Home Team is Winning) innings unless
otherwise stated. They also must start the listed pitchers.
In Baseball,
All games that go at least the full 9 innings and finish tied as a result of
a suspension of play, shall be graded as a push on all money line bets.
However, all run line and total bets will have action. Note, though, that
this is an extremely rare occurrence, and thus the Las Vegas rules for this
event are not at this point set in stone. In the event of a change in Las
Vegas rules, LinesMaker will adhere to the decision set forth in Las Vegas.
Boxing: In boxing, the official stopping of a
round before the sounding of the bell does not constitute a full round. A
full round is only considered for wagering purposes when the bell sounds
signifying the end of said round.
Special Boxing
Rule: Fights must be run within one week of the specified date for your bet
to have action.
Golf:
For tournament matchup betting all of the players listed in the matchup must
tee off for your bet to have action. The player with the most completed
holes wins. If the players complete the same number of holes, then the
player with the lowest score wins. If the players are still tied then the
wager will be No Actioned and all monies will be refunded. If both golfers
in a match-up are in a playoff: a) winner of play-off wins matchup and b)
all other playoff participants tie each other.
Should a
tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected, due to weather conditions
the official result will be used when settling, regardless of the number or
rounds played. However, should there be no further play after a bet is
struck that bet will be void.
Single day
matchups are wagers on the particular day's 18-holes. Single Day matchups do
not include holes played as part of a completion from the previous day's
round nor playoff holes considered part of the overall tournament score.
Should a day's round be shortened, or otherwise affected, due to weather
conditions and the round is continued the next day, the full 18 holes will
are considered in determining the outcome of the bet even if they are played
over two days. Both Golfer Must Tee off for action. If both players end the
18 holes in a tie, the Money Line wager will be refunded, Stroke Line money
will be Actioned.
For single
round-single player propositions, all 18 holes must be completed.
Stroke Line Betting: In golf the lower score wins.
If you bet (-1/2) a Stroke your golfer must shoot 1 or more shots lower than
the opponent. If you bet (+1/2) your golfer must shoot the same score or a
lower score than the opponent. Example: You bet Singh (-1/2) vs. Mickelson.
Singh shoots 69, Mickelson 70. Singh (-1/2) is the winner. Singh shoots 69,
Mickelson shoots 69, Mickelson (+1/2) is the winner.
Rules
for Finishing Top 3: In the case of a tie or
multiple players finishing in the top 3 position, wagers will be paid using
our Dead Heat Rule
European Football: All football bets will be
settled on 90 minutes play, this includes any time added by the Referee in
respect of injuries and other stoppages. Extra Time, Golden Goals and
Penalty Shoot-Outs do not count.
For bets on
European football, in order to place your LinesMaker bet correctly, you must
predict the result of at least one (1) game:1=home win, 0=draw, 2=away win.
The customer can, of course, bet a parlay (or "combination"), but must get
all the selections correct in the parlay column.
Bets taken on
'first goal scorer' will be void if the player does not take part in the
game or comes on after a goal has already been scored. Bets taken on 'last
goal scorer' will be void if the player does not play or come on as a
substitute.
If any match
is abandoned, or postponed, all bets will be void unless the relevant market
result has already happened; for example, 'first goal scorer betting, which
will stand if a goal has already been scored.
Where a venue
is changed, bets will stand unless the game is to be played at the original
away team's ground in which case all bets will be void.
Cricket: For Cricket games, if the match is
shortened by the weather, bets will be governed by the official competition
rules.
Rugby:
For Rugby Games, if any match is abandoned or postponed all bets will be
void, except bets on the first try scorer if a try has been scored prior to
abandonment.
Where a venue
is changed, bets will stand unless the game is to be played at the original
away team's ground in which case all bets will be void.
Tennis: For Tennis Match betting, in the event of
a match starting but not being completed, the player progressing to the next
round will be deemed the winner. In the event of any of the following
circumstances taking place all bets will stand: (i) a change of playing
surface, (ii) a change of venue, (iii) a change from indoor court to outdoor
court or vice versa or (iii) match is delayed to the following day due to
inclement weather.
Motor
Sports: When placing a wager on "Odds to Win" a
race, your wager shall be 'No Action' should the driver not start the race.
Both drivers must start the race for matchup wagering for the bet to have
action. The start of any motor race is defined as the signal to start the
warm-up lap. The official winner at the conclusion of the race will be the
winner for betting purposes. In league championship wagering, drivers must
race in at least one race during the season to be deemed 'action'.
Special Motor Sport Rule: Races must be run within
one week of the scheduled date for your bet to have action.
The NASCAR.com
website is our official source for the grading of all NASCAR wagers
The race must
complete the scheduled number of laps and/or distance for specific
proposition wagers (pertaining to number of laps and/or distance) to have
action. Matchups, Finishing Position Props and Future wagers will still have
action regardless.
NCAA
Hoops: In the event of a tie in NCAA conference
wagering, the team entering the conference tournament 'seeded' higher shall
be deemed the winner.
Horse
Racing: All lines are actioned regardless of
injuries, scratches, and/or in the event a horse does not start or complete
the designated race. Las Vegas rules, regulations, payoffs and wager types
apply where not covered herein.
Parlay or Multiple Betting: No multiple (parlay)
bets can be accepted where individual legs are 'connected'. For example, one
leg of a parlay is for Sampras to beat Henman in the 4th round of Wimbledon
and the second or additional part of the parlay is for Sampras to win the
overall Wimbledon title. The match forms part of the overall tournament and
is therefore 'connected'. In the same way, you cannot parlay the over of the
first half of a football game with the over of the total game, because the
two are 'connected'
Dead
Heat Rule: In the event of a dead heat (a tie),
stakes will be divided by the number of selections dead heating with the
divided stake settled at full odds, remaining stakes are lost. If the tie
was a betting option, then the dead heat rule does not apply. The Dead Heat
Rule only applies to Future Wagers. For example, if there is a 3 way tie for
the Top Scorer in a Football game. Then your winnings are calculated by
taking your stake, dividing it by 3, and multiplying that amount by the odds
on your betting ticket.
