A player is deemed to have made the cut if the player is eligible to play in the round after the cut is made even if the player chooses not to do so. If a player is not eligible to do so, even if the rules for the cut have been changed during the tournament, that player is deemed to have missed the cut.

Match play:
Bets are settled according to official tournament and match results. This includes when a match finishes early, either by agreement of the players or through injury.
When a match finishes before completion of 18 holes, markets such as for example match score will be settled as if the remaining uncompleted holes are ties. For example, a player 2 up at the 13th hole when the match finishes will be deemed to have won 2 & 1 (at the 17th hole). Uncompleted single hole bets will be void.

The dead heat rule for place betting:
The number of paying places remaining after clear winners are settled is divided by the number of players sharing those places. The place odds for your selection is then multiplied by this number.

Example: (Competition with five paying places). The top two players are settled while four players share third place. Since there is only three remaining paying places for these four players, the place odds for each player is multiplied by 3/4.

Tennis
For a bet on a tennis match to be valid at least one point must be played. If one of the players withdraws before the match the event is considered void and the odds is set to 1.00.
