General Sports Rules UK

Dabble Sports UK Ltd

These General Sports Rules UK are v2.0 and were last updated on 3 June 2025.

1. Application of General Sports Rules

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these General Sports Rules apply to sports,

entertainment and all other betting markets offered by Dabble as described in the

Individual Sports Rules. In the event of any inconsistency between the General

Sports Rules and the Individual Sports Rules in respect of any particular sporting

code and/or betting marker, the Individual Sports Rules prevail to the extent of the

inconsistency.

2. Acceptance of Bets

A bet will only be accepted up to the official starting time of an event unless it is an

‘In-Play’ bet. A bet accepted in error after the official starting time of the event or

specific market within the event will be deemed void and stakes will be refunded.

3. All-In Betting

Unless otherwise stated in these Rules or the applicable Individual Sports Rules,

bets on sports, entertainment and all other events and markets described below

are accepted on an ‘all-in’ basis. If a player or a team is withdrawn before they have

taken part in the event, your bet will be settled as a loser.

4. Resulting and Settlement of Bets

4.1 Resulting sources – Unless stated otherwise, markets are resulted as per the

results and statistics published by the official governing body for the event. Should

there be substantial evidence that a result or statistic has been published

incorrectly the market will be resulted after consultation with the governing body.

4.2 Subsequent amendments after the official result is announced – Unless

otherwise stated, the official result announced at the completion of an event will

be the sole result considered for the settlement of markets. Disqualifications or

penalties incurred after official results are announced, positive drug testing results

and rule breaches will not count towards settlement of that market. This rule

ensures finality of a market when an event is completed and is consistent across

all wagering providers.

4.3 Completed markets within an abandoned event – Unless otherwise stated, a

market will be considered ended once the outcome of the market has been

unequivocally determined. This rule often applies to markets where total points or

statistics are involved. Should an event be abandoned after the result of the

individual market has been determined the results will stand for settlement

purposes.

4.4 Settlement times – Dabble will endeavour to result and settle markets as soon as

the event is completed, or the result of an individual market has been determined.

Please note however our resulting sources must be able to confirm an official result

before markets are settled to ensure resulting and settlement accuracy.

Unfortunately, delays may occur on occasions where there is a delay in the

announcement / publication of an official result.

4.4.1 Bets on any fantasy-based markets will not be resulted, nor bets settled,

until the official scores are finalised, which is typically no longer than 30

minutes after the completion of matches but Dabble cannot guarantee this

timeframe for all matches.

4.4.2 Bets on lower league or lower tier levels within a sport (for example second

or third tier national football leagues and ITF tennis matches) may suffer

from delays in bet settlement due to delays in the publication of official

results.

4.4.3 Dabble will actively seek to verify results from alternate sources should

delays in the publication of official results become unreasonable in

relation to the time the event has ended.

5. Bet Type Rules

5.1 Team to win both halves – You are betting on the winner of each half of the match.

For the purposes of this market the score is theoretically reset at the end of the first

half. The first and second half scores are treated as two separate events. A draw in

either half will result in bets on the team selected resulting as a loss. This is distinct

from the Half-Time/Full-Time market which is explained in below.

5.2 Half-Time / Full-Time – You are betting on which team will win the first half (the

team leading at half time) and which team will win the match. Where we offer twoway betting on the match result, without a draw price quoted, then bets will be

settled on the eventual winner of the match, including any overtime / extra-time

played.

5.3 Ante-Post / Outright Betting – Unless stated otherwise all bets will stand

regardless of postponements unless the official governing body declares that the

tournament or competition has been cancelled and no official winner will be

declared. In this case all bets will be void and stakes returned.

All Ante-Post / Outright betting markets are offered on an ‘all-in’ basis unless

otherwise stated.

5.4 Quote Others / All-In Markets – When a market is offered on a ‘Quote Others’ or

‘all in’ basis, or all competitors or possible competitors are not quoted within a

market then the market will be settled on the actual winner, or placings, where

each-way and place betting is offered, regardless of whether the winner or place

getters have been quoted in the market.

If you wish to have a team or competitor added to a market, please contact Dabble

by emailing [email protected] quoting the event and the team / competitor

you would like added to the market and Dabble will consider the request.

5.5 Same Game Accumulator (SGA)

A Same Game Accumulator (SGA or BetBuilder) is an accumulator (or “Acca” or “Multi”) bet placed on a single match or game.

5.5.1 A Same Game Accumulator (SGA) is an accumulator (or “Acca” or “Multi”)

bet placed on a single match or game. Dabble will offer SGA on selected

sports, which may be subject to change at Dabble’s discretion.

5.5.2 The SGA price quoted will not be a straight multiplication of the individual

prices quoted as the selected legs are often related. The relationship of the

legs will determine how much smaller, or sometimes bigger, the SGA odds

are compared to the odds of thse straight multiplication of the individual

legs.

5.5.3 The maximum odds of an SGA is £2,501.

5.5.4 The maximum number of legs in an SGA is 25 legs.

5.5.5 The maximum payout for a single SGA (or for multiple SGAs with the exact

same selections) is £20,000.

5.6 SGA Tracker

5.6.1 SGM Tracker provides valuable information, including real-time updates on

the statistics related to your SGA bet.

5.6.2 SGA Tracker data is indicative only. Any display of player or match

performance information whether in-play or post-match is provided solely

for informational purposes.

5.6.3 Please note the SGA Tracker is intended as a guide only and should not be

considered the definitive source for determining bet performance or

outcomes. All statistics and results are cross referenced and determined

based on official data from trusted sites and sources.

5.6.4 Bet settlements are based on official results from official providers, or

other trusted score networks.

6. Maximum Payout

Individual sports and leagues, tournaments or events within a particular sport have

a specific maximum payout limit as described under each individual sport. The

maximum payouts refer to the maximum winnings per client per day on any

individual sport and are expressed in Great British Pounds sterling (GBP).

7. Pick'em

7.1 Pick’em bets combine the outcomes of selections on whether certain players will

get Less or More of a particular statistic in a game.

7.2 Each player added to a Pick’em bet increases the potential payout multiplier of the

bet.

7.3 Each player included in a bet is called a ‘leg’.

7.4 There are two types of Pick’em Bets: All-In and Hedge.

7.5 Example of a Pick’em All-In bet:

7.5.1 Customer chooses between 2 and 12 players and selects for each whether they

will achieve Less or More than the projection line. For example:

Leg 1: Nikola Jokic – 32.5 Points (Less/More)

Leg 2: Luka Doncic – 29.5 Points (Less/More)

7.6 The number of legs in your Pick’em bet determines the payout multiplier; customers can add up to 12 players, with a maximum potential payout multiplier of 1500x their stake:

7.7 To win an All-In Pick’em bet, each leg must win. If one leg loses, the bet is

considered a loss.

7.8 A leg can be Voided meaning that leg is cancelled and no longer part of the bet. This is due to a player not being part of a game.

7.9 A Push leg can occur when a player’s projection is a flat line. For example, Nikola

Jokic – 32 Points (Less/More). In the scenario where Jokic scores 32 points for the game, the leg is not considered a win or loss, it is a Push.

7.10 If a bet has Voided or Push legs, the number of legs and bet multiplier will be

reduced accordingly. Please see examples below:

• A 12 leg All-in with one push leg reduces to an 11 leg All-in.

• A 7 leg All-in with three void legs reduces to a 4 leg All-in.

• A 2 leg All-in with one void leg will be refunded.

7.11 Pick'em Hedge Bets

7.11.1 Whilst All-In bets require all legs to win, Hedge bets can still win even if some of

your legs lose – however, the payout Multiplier is lower.

7.11.2 Hedge bets can be selected in the betslip when building a Pick’em bet, prior to

placing the bet.

7.11.3 Hedge bets require a minimum of three (3) legs.

7.11.4 The number of legs in your Pick’em Hedge bet determines your Multiplier:

7.12 Example of a Pick’em Hedge bet:

• Customer chooses 8-legs in their Pick’em bet

• Customer chooses ‘Hedge’ in the betslip prior to placing the bet

• Referring to the table above, the payout Multiplier outcomes for the 8 leg Hedge

bet are as follows:

• Get 8/8 correct = 50x

• Get 7/8 correct = 5x

• Get 6/8 correct = 1.5x

• Get 5/8 correct = bet lost

7.13 If a bet has Voided or Push legs, the number of legs and Hedge bet multipliers will be reduced accordingly. Please see examples below:

• A 12 leg Hedge with one push leg reduces to an 11 leg Hedge.

• A 7 leg Hedge with three voided legs reduces to a 4 leg Hedge.

• A 4 leg Hedge with two void legs will convert to a 2 leg all-in (2-picks not available

for Hedge).

7.14 If the number of legs that lose in a Hedge bet are greater than those outlined in

Table 2 for each scenario, the bet is considered a loss. For example:

• A 12 leg Hedge has 4 legs result as loss and 8 result as win, the Hedge bet is considered a loss.

• A 7 leg Hedge has 3 legs result as loss and 4 result as win, the Hedge bet is

considered a loss.

• A 4 leg Hedge has 2 legs result as loss and 2 result as win, the Hedge bet is

considered a loss.

7.15 If all legs are voided, the bet will be refunded.

7.16 General Pick’em Rules

7.16.1 Players from at least two opposing teams must be selected in a Pick’em bet.

7.16.2 Only one statistical category (“Stat”) per individual player per bet may be

selected.

7.16.3 If a player does not play in the match at any point in time, any leg involving that

player will be deemed void. If a player does play but fails to record any statistic, any leg involving that player will stand.

7.16.4 A Pick’em bet will only be accepted up to the official starting time of an event.

A bet accepted in error after the official starting time of the event or specific market

within the event will be deemed void and stakes will be refunded.

7.16.5 Unless otherwise stated, bets are resulted as per the results and statistics

published by the official governing body for the event. Should there be substantial

evidence that a result or statistic has been published incorrectly, the market will be

resulted after consultation with the governing body.

7.16.6 Unless otherwise stated, a bet will be considered ended once the outcome of

the Stat has been unequivocally determined. Should an event be abandoned after the

result of any individual leg has been determined, the result of such picks will stand for settlement purposes.

7.16.7 Pick’em bets cannot be combined with other fixed odds sports or racing bets.

7.16.8 In the scenario where all players from one team are voided in a Pick’em bet,

the entire bet will be deemed void - as it will no longer meet the rule in 7.16.1
