Snooker Rules
Aside from the following special betting rules, the general betting rules apply. The special rules will take precedence over the common rules nevertheless.
1. General Rules
A snooker match is deemed to have started with the break for the first frame. Unless otherwise stated, all bets will stand providing that the initial break has been taken at the beginning of the match. If a player fails to start a tournament or match, all bets on that player or individual match will be void. Where ‘betting in-play’ is offered, should a player withdraw from a match at any time, the end of the match will be determined by the time that the last ball of the final frame played (or part frame) was potted, as confirmed by the Sport’s Governing Body or data service provider. All bets placed after this time will be declared ‘void’, win or lose.
