covered herein.
- No credit is given for making bets
- All sporting events must be played on date and site scheduled unless
otherwise specified. Sporting events postponed by more than 12 hours and or
rescheduled, will constitute "No Action,"" and all money will be credited
accordingly.
- All bets must be made and accepted, before the start of the game/event
wagered. Any bet placed or received after the start of the game/event
wagered, will be considered void.
- Top Bet reserves the right to limit the maximum amount wagered,
prior to acceptance of any bet. Customers are not permitted to open multiple
accounts or place multiple wagers, regardless of a change in odds, in order
to bypass the limits imposed by the system. If multiple accounts or wagers
are used then all bets will be void.
- In the event that monies are credited to a customer's account in error, it
is incumbent upon the customer to notify Top Bet of the aforesaid
error without delay. Any winnings obtained after the error, whether directly
or indirectly subsequent to the error but prior to notification of
Top Bet, shall be void.
- Top Bet 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 Top Bet that the bet has been accepted. This will be
via a confirmation message that will appear on your screen and/or via
email.
- Once bets are accepted they cannot be cancelled or amended in any way,
either by Player or by Top Bet, unless Top Bet determines that
such wagers were affected by technical or administrative errors.
- Every effort will be made to ensure that all information available on the Internet site is accurate. However, if an obvious error is made in the prices or conditions published online, all bets at that price will be cancelled and funds returned to customers accounts. Customers will then have to make a new bet at the correct price if they so choose to.
- The sports wagering services offered by TOPBET.COM are not for use
by individuals or groups deemed to be professional bettors. In the event
that a Player(s) is deemed to be a professional bettor, their account will
be subject to immediate termination with any remaining account balances,
including all deposits and winnings in Player's account, being returned to
the Player. For purposes of this clause, winning wagers will only be paid on
events that have been played prior to notice of account termination being
sent to Player.
- Reverse Activity is not permitted. Reverse Activity is described as
betting both sides of a single event for the purpose of falsely achieving a
stated minimum amount of betting activity in order to qualify for
bonuses
- You can't cancel, change, or modify your bet in any way once it has been
received and accepted by Top Bet. As you are solely responsible for your
account transactions, review all bet details for any mistakes, errors, or
omissions before clicking "place bet" button.
- Winners and losers are official after:
- American Football - NCAA & NFL - 55 minutes of play
- Basketball - NBA - 43 minutes of play
- Basketball - NCAA - 35 minutes of play
- Hockey - NHL - 55 minutes of play
- All other sporting events - 55 minutes of play
- Overtime periods, quarters or extra innings are counted in the final
score when wagering on totals.
- On half time wagers, overtime periods are included as part of the 2nd
half.
- Other Sports: All other contests that involve a scheduled length of
play or time limit must play to their conclusion or have five minutes or
less of the scheduled playing time remaining when the contest concludes
to be considered official for wagering purposes.
- Parlay or Multiples 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 Wimbeldon 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 - 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.
Football and Basketball Specific Rules
- All first half wagers are only valid if the entire first half of the game
is played
- On half time wagers, overtime periods are included as part of the 2nd
half.
Hockey Specific Rules
- Wagers on the whole game include results from overtime.
- For games that require a shootout, only one goal will be awarded to the
winning team when determining the final score regardless of how many goals
are scored during the shootout round.
Baseball Specific Rules
- Baseball - 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 run-line, totals, prop wagers and 5-inning wagers are accepted
as "Listed." In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, all of
these wagers are considered "No Action". All wagers will be refunded to
the customers account at the end of the game.
All (ACTION) full-game moneyline wagers will have action. If there is a
pitching change after you place your wager, you will have ACTION at the
opening price specified by us at the time of the last correct pitching
change.
All listed full-game moneyline wagers where both pitchers are specified
at the time of the wager ie. ((L) R JOHNSON / (R) C HAMELS) will be
graded as NO ACTION at the end of the game in the event of a pitching
change prior to the game.
All full-game moneyline wagers with 1 pitcher specified to start at the
time of the wager ie. ((ACTION / (L) S KAZMIR) will be graded as
NO ACTION at the end of the game if your specified pitcher does not
start the game. If there is a pitching change on the other team, and
your specified pitcher starts the game you will have ACTION at the
opening price specified by us at the time of the last correct pitching
change.
NOTE: Each team's starting pitcher is defined for betting purposes as
the pitcher that throws the first pitch.
- 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

Vegas Gaming Standards (see our rules regarding baseball wagers and what
constitutes an official result)
