Rule 30-2017 - MOTOR SPORTS

2017.1

In Motor Sports or racing events, for the settlement of Wagers pertaining to "Pole Position," the valid positioning is the one publicized by the competition's Governing Body. For the settlement of Wagers pertaining to winner of a racing event, the valid winning positions are the ones recognized during the prize award ceremony. If, for whatever reason, the ceremony is not held, the winning positions are those initially publicized by the competition's Governing Body.

2017.2

Any changes after the initially publicized announcement of results are not taken into account. All Wagers on drivers in a pole position or in a Grand Prix race receive refunds if the driver is not listed in the official results as publicized by the competition's Governing Body.

2017.3

For "Head to Head" and "Group Wagering," all Wagers receive refunds, if even one driver offered is not included in the officially publicized results of the competition's Governing Body. If a race or any part of it is called off, cancelled, postponed, or suspended, and not continued within the next calendar day, or if official results are not publicized for whatever reason within two (2) calendar days, then all Wagers will be refunded. Excluded are Wagers that have already been decided - when the result will no t change even with the continuation of the event.

2017.4

The Office may offer the following motor sports Wager types:

(a) Money Line-A "Money Line" or straight up wager is a bet on the outright winner of the game or event without any point spread odd.

(1) In a "Win Race" Wager, the Player predicts which driver will win the race.

(2) In a "Place Race" Wager, the Player predicts if a driver will finish in a certain position or higher in a race independent of order. This Wager can be offered for whichever range of places (e.g., place 1-5- if a driver will finish from the first to the fifth (5^th) position in a race).

(b) Total Over/Under-Total Over/Under Wagers are placed on a line set by the Office that is the total combined score at certain points during the game, including any extra time added if the score was tied at the end of regulation time. In a Total Over/Under Wager, a Player predicts the score to be lower or higher than the set line to win the Wager.

(1) In a "Total Drivers to Classify Total Over/Under" Wager, the Player predicts whether the total number of drivers to classify during a race are over or under a specified limit.

(c) Head to Head - "Head to Head Wagers are available for games or events in which a direct comparison can be made between two (2) teams or two (2) individual participants in a game or event.

(1) In a "To Qualify Head to Head" Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a qualifying race. In the instance where one of the two drivers does not qualify, that driver will be considered having lost. If neither of the two drivers qualify, then the winner will be considered the one who has achieved the highest qualifying position.

(2) In a "Pole Position Head to Head" Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a pole position race. In the instance where one of the two drivers does not classify based on their time, that driver will be considered having lost. If neither of the two drivers classify, then Wagers received on these two drivers are refunded by receiving odds of one (1.00).

(3) In a "Race Head to Head" Wager, the Player predicts which two drivers will finish with a better classification in a race. In the instance where one of the two drivers do not classify, that driver will be considered having lost. If neither of the two drivers classify, then the winner will be considered the driver who has completed more rounds. This is independent of the distance that each one has driven, the time that each one withdrew and/or the position that each one occupied at the time of withdrawal. If neither of the two drivers classifies, having completed the same number of rounds, then Wagers received on these two drivers are refunded by receiving odds of one (1.00).

(d) Proposition "Prop" Wagers-Proposition Wagers are wagers on a specific outcome during an event that does not relate to the final score. They may be offered as "Team Props," "Player Props" and "Special Props."

(1) In a "Winning Margin" Wager, the Player predicts the finishing time difference between the first and second driver. Choices will be given in the form of a range of time differences or with the choice of "more or less" than a specified time range.

(2) In a "Winning Car/Bike" Wager, the Player predicts the manufacturer of the car or motorcycle that the winning driver of a race or pole position race will be driving.

(3) In a "First Driver to Retire" Wager, the Player predicts which driver will first withdraw from a race. Two drivers are considered to have withdrawn simultaneous when they have both completed the same number of rounds in a race. This is independent of the distance they have both driven, the time they withdrew and/or the position that each occupied at the time of withdrawal.

(4) In a "Fastest Lap" Wager, the Player predicts which driver will perform the fastest lap/stage or any other separately timed part in a race.

(5) In a "To Classify/Not to Classify" Wager, the Player predicts if a driver classifies during a race.

(6) In a "Race Group Betting" Wager, the Player predicts which of the offered drivers will finish in a better position during a race. In the instance where one or more drivers do not classify, each driver will be considered having lost. If none of the offered drivers classify, then the winner of this Wager will be considered the driver who has completed more rounds. This is independent of the distance that each one has driven, the time that each one withdrew and/or the position that each one occupied at the time of withdrawal. If none of the offered drivers classify and they have all completed the same number of rounds, then Wagers received on all these drivers are refunded by receiving odds of one (1.00).

(7) In a "Safety/Car" Wager, the Player predicts whether there will be a need for the Safety/Pace car to enter the circuit during the race. This Wager does not include the warm-up round.
