Where a golfer withdraws before the start of a tournament then all bets on that participant will be declared void. Match play exception: where a golfer withdraws before the start of an individual match within the match play tournament (even if the golfer has already completed one or more prior matches), then all bets on that participant will be declared void.
Bets stand once the player has teed off the first hole.
Tournament Match Bets Tournament match bets can be found under the "Tournament" filter when a golf league is selected. Bets stand once the players have teed off the first hole. If a player withdraws, whichever player completes the most holes is deemed the winner. If both players complete the same number of holes, the player with the lowest score is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut, the player with the lowest score is deemed the winner. If one player misses the cut and the other makes the cut, the player that makes the cut is deemed the winner.
If the scheduled number of rounds is reduced by bad weather, bets will be settled so long as there is a deemed tournament winner and a minimum of 36 holes played. The winner will be the player leading after the last completed official round.
If a player is disqualified or withdraws after starting, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, then the other player is deemed the winner. If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when the other player in the match bet has already missed the cut, then the disqualified player is deemed the winner.
Tournament match bets on the Tour Championship will include starting strokes.
Individual Round Match Bets Individual round match bets can be found under the "1st Round", "2nd Round", "3rd Round", and "4th Round" filters when a golf league is selected.

If both players complete the same number of holes, the player with the lowest score is deemed the winner.
If an individual matchup ends in a tie, bets will be void.

Bets will be settled on the official result announced at the end of the fight. Subsequent appeals/amendments do not affect settlement (unless the amendment was made due to human error when announcing the result).

If an event is postponed, cancelled, either fighter is replaced, or the number of rounds in a fight change, all bets will be void.
If the fight does not take place as scheduled, and does not occur on the same date (local time), all bets are void. Exceptions are 1) if we advertise an incorrect start time and 2) if we set up a fight using an expected date before the exact date is known. Once an official announcement is made regarding the fight date, the fight will be corrected to the official date and will then be subject to normal rules.
Soccer
All markets are settled based on the result at the end of regular time (including injury/stoppage time). Extra time and penalties are not included unless indicated.
Should any match be played prior to the date or kick-off time denoted, bets will stand as long as the bet is placed prior to the revised kick-off time.
If a match venue is changed, bets already placed will stand as long as the home team is still designated as such. If the home and away teams for a listed match are reversed, bets based on the original listing will be void.
All bets on a match abandoned before the completion of the regular time will be void unless the match is rearranged and played on the same date (local time) or it is stated otherwise in the rules.
An exception to the rule directly above is made when this rule relates to friendly matches. In such cases, all match markets are settled based on the actual result at the end of the match (excluding any extra time), irrespective of whether the full 90 minutes is played. This rule applies only to matches with regular playing time of two 45-minute halves.
Some soccer matches may have different playing schedules. In that case, the following will apply: 90 minutes scheduled play (3 x 30 minutes), full time bets are still considered valid; 80 minutes scheduled play (2 x 40 minutes), all bets are still considered valid; if the playing schedule is different from the above, all bets are void.
Bets on a match or qualification are not affected if a team is subsequently disqualified from, or re-instated to, the competition.
If the match does not take place as scheduled and is not played on the same date (local time) all bets are void. An exception is made if an incorrect kick-off time is announced on our website.
General Settlement Rules
All settlements are based on the statistics and results provided by the official website of the league’s governing body, or league’s official statistical provider, unless otherwise stated.
In the absence of a statistic/result required for settlement of a specific market from the sources listed above, another reputable statistical source will be used to support bet settlement.
BroThrow reserves the right to void bets where an obvious error has been made by our sports data provider. Examples of obvious errors include, but are not limited to: bets placed on events that have already started or been decided; bets placed at odds that are materially different from those available in the general market at the time the bet was placed; bets offered at odds which reflect an incorrect score situation; odds being clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was placed; bets accepted during website technical problems that would otherwise not have been accepted.
