MMA Rules



All markets are settled according to the result available immediately after the end of the fight. Any subsequent appeals or amendments to the result are not taken into consideration for settlement purposes.

If either fighter fails to answer the bell for the next round, then his opponent will be deemed to have won in the previous round.

Should there be a withdrawal or a substitution of one of the fighters concerned, bets will be void.

In the event of a fight being declared a No Contest all bets will be void.

Should the scheduled number of rounds be changed before the fight then all "Total Rounds", "Winner and exact rounds" and "Winning Method" bets will be made void.

MMA Markets



Winner


Predict the winner of the fight. For the Winner market where no draw selection is offered all bets will be void in the event of a draw (this includes a fight which ends in a Majority Draw or a Technical Draw).

Total Rounds


Predict whether the total number of rounds fought will be greater (over) or fewer (under) than the line displayed.

For settlement purposes where a half round is stated then 2 minutes 30 seconds of the respective round will define the half to determine under or over. Thus, 2.5 rounds would be two minutes and thirty seconds of the 3rd round. If the fight ends at exactly 2 minutes 30 seconds of the 3rd round then the result would be over 2.5 rounds.

1x2


Predict which fighter will win or if the fight will be drawn?

If the fight ends in a Majority Draw or a Technical Draw then Draw will be the winning selection.

Winning method


How will the fight be decided?

All bets will be settled on the official result declared. A win by disqualification is counted as Knockout/Technical Knockout.

For the purposes of the Winning Method market, a KO includes the following:

referee stoppage due to strikes while either fighter is, or both fighters are, standing;
referee stoppage due to strikes while either fighter is, or both fighters are, on the canvas;
stoppage by doctor;
stoppage by a fighter's corner/team
a fighter retires due to injury
a win by disqualification

For the purposes of the Winning Method market, a submission includes the following:

referee stoppage due to tap-out;
referee stoppage due to technical submission
a fighter's verbal submission (including a verbal submission which is made due to strikes)

Will the fight go the distance?


Predict if the fight will be decided before the scheduled number of rounds.

In the event of a technical decision, for settlement purposes, the fight will have been deemed NOT to have gone the distance.
