Responsible Gaming and Staying Within Your Limits:

It is so easy to get carried away with something that really interests you and can often thrill you, and gambling is one of them.

But sometimes your gambling can get out of control and you start to lose more than you can afford, and if you start to get into trouble financially, then you might be tempted to chase your losses.

We at Ostlers Racing are asking that if you do open an account with us, that you bet responsibly, and that you keep within your limits.
One way of doing this is to set deposit limits (a mandatory requirement of your account with Ostlers Racing), so that you are never tempted to chase losses if results have gone against you. Once you have set a deposit limit, please note that in order to protect you, we will not allow you to increase your limit without 7 days notification.

We also offer a Time Out facility where your account can be temporariily frozen for a period of time determined by you. During this time you will be unable to place any bets, until such time the Time Out period ends.

Alternatively, if you feel that you need a complete break from gambling, then please contact us about our self excluding option.

If you are considering self exclusion, you may wish to register with  ‍ ‍
GAMSTOP is a free service that enables you to self-exclude from participating online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain. To find out more and to sign up with GAMSTOP, please visit www.gamstop.co.uk

What is most important though, is that if you do find that you are experiencing problems caused by your betting, either financially or emotionally, then please seek advice from one of the many organisations that are available including GAMSTOP and the three featured below which are BeGamble Aware, Gamblers Anonymous and Gamcare (please click on their logos to be directed to their sites)

Bet Acceptance

A contract to bet is not formed between us until a bet has been confirmed to you by us.

No bets will be accepted without the necessary funds to facilitate the bet being in the clients account.

For bets placed via the App, it is the account holders responsibility to check that the bet has been accepted and not Timed Out or Rejected. If the bet has not been accepted then no bet is deemed to have been struck.

For telephone bets, clients should stay on the line until a bet has been confirmed. If the call is disconnected for any reason or there is any doubt as to whether the bet has been struck it is the responsibility of the customer to call back immediately and confirm that the bet has been struck.

For any bets sent by electronic communication (e.g. text, or any other electronic means) a contract is not formed between us until you have received a confirmation.

If placing a bet via Telephone, Text Message or WhatsApp, then unless the account holder requests a price that is on our website, or asks for SP, then the bet will be placed at the price currently available on the App or on our website.

We guarantee a payout on any accepted bet up to a maximum win liability payable by us of £2,000. Any expected winnings over this amount will not be paid. This is regardless of the total stake of the original bet or how many bets you have placed on one particular selection whether at a specified price or at SP. Original stakes will not be retrospectively re calculated if our guaranteed payout liability is exceeded. The original bet stake will always remain fixed.

See examples below of where you will exceed our maximum payout:

Example 1 - £300 win bet placed followed by another bet of £200 on a horse that wins with a starting price of 5/1. You will receive £2,500 which is your winnings of £2,000 plus your original stakes. You will not be paid £500 at 5/1 plus your original stakes (£3,000)

Example 2 - £500 win bet on a horse that wins with a Starting Price (S.P.) of 9/2. No price was originally taken. This theoretically would produce a winning return of £2,250 plus your original stake of £500. In this instance, the payout by us would again be £2,000 (capped in line with our maximum payout policy) plus your original stake of £500.

We will not retrospectively recalculate/change your stake to £444.45 at 9/2 to allow you to win £2,000 and therefore return to you £2,000 winnings plus a returned recalculated stake of £555.55 (your original stake of £500 plus the difference between the original stake of £500 and £444.45)

Example 3 - £200 win bet on a horse placed at 10/1 that wins at 14/1. This will return £2,000 winnings (in line with our maximum payout policy) plus your original stake of £200.

We will not retrospectively recalculate/change your stake to £142.86 on a boosted S.P. of 14/1 and thus return £2,000 plus a returned recalculated stake of £57.14. (your original £200 stake plus the difference between the original stake of £200 and £142.86)

First Past the Post and the Official Result

We Pay out on First Past the Post AND the Official Result on the day.

Our first past the post offer is only applicable to the initial winner of the race in the event that they subsequently get disqualified from first place.

The First Past the Post rule does not apply to horses that have taken the wrong course or weighed in light and have been disqualified as a result.

First Past The Post and Official Result. - Winner

Where a horse finishes 2nd or 3rd and is subsequently placed 1st we will pay both  FPTP and the Official Result.

First Past The Post and Official Result. - Placed Horses.

With regards to placed horses, only the official result counts on your bet.

If you place an each way bet and your horse finishes 2nd in a race of between 5-7 runners and is demoted to 3rd, your bet will be deemed to have lost. If your horse finishes 3rd in a race of 5-7 runners and is subsequently placed 2nd, it will be deemed to be a winning bet.

If you place an each way bet and your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd in a race of between 8-15 runners and is then demoted to outside of the places, your bet will be deemed to have lost. If your horse finishes 4th or higher in a race of 8-15 runners and is subsequently placed 2nd or 3rd, it will be deemed to be a winning bet.

If you place an each way bet and your horse finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th in a handicap race of 16 runners or above runners and is then demoted to outside of the places, your bet will be deemed to have lost. If your horse finishes 5th or higher in a handicap race of 16 runners or more and is subsequently placed inside of the top 4, it will be deemed to be a winning bet.

FOOTBALL BETTING

Settlement of bets on football
In all cases bets will be settled using statistics provided by the Press Association (PA), the national agency which supplies match statistics and reports to the media.

Match Odds Betting / Under and over Goal betting / Correct Score Betting / BTTS Betting
Bets are settled on the result at the end of normal play, unless otherwise stated. The term normal play denotes the 90-minute period plus any stoppage time and other interruptions to play. Unless otherwise stated normal play will also be the basis for settlement of bets on Cup competition games; for the avoidance of doubt, for bet settlement purposes the result of a Cup competition is NOT the result after the extra time or a penalty shoot-out.

Correct Score Bets
Correct Scores: Bets must predict the score at the end of normal time and will be available on selected matches. Own goals count. Extra Time and penalty shoot- outs do not count.

First Player to Score Bets:
Bets are accepted on normal play only.

First scorer bets are settled in accordance with the players named by the Press Association immediately after the match has finished. Any subsequent amendments to Press Association records will not count.

Every effort will be made to quote First Player to Score odds for all possible participants. However, players not originally quoted will count as winners should they score the first/last goal. Bets on players not taking part in the match will be void as will bets on ‘first player to score’ where the selection comes on after the first goal is scored. All players that take part in a match will be considered ‘runners’ for last player to score purposes.

Matches postponed, brought forward or abandoned:
A match that is not played or postponed match will be treated as a ‘non-runner’ for settling purposes unless it is played during the same ‘football week’ (Monday – Monday), in which case the bet will stand unless cancelled by mutual consent.

Any football match abandoned before the completion of normal play will be void, except for those bets the outcome of which has already been determined at the time of abandonment. For example, First Player to Score or Time of the First Goal bets will stand provided a goal has been scored at the time of abandonment.

Liability

Without prejudice to our obligations contained within the various laws and regulations of the jurisdictions where we are licensed, we are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer because of any: act of God; power cut; trade or labour dispute; act, failure or omission of any government or authority; obstruction or failure of telecommunication services; or any other delay or failure caused by a third party or otherwise outside of our control.

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our associated companies, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any liabilities, claims, losses or demands made by any third party arising out of your breach of this Agreement (including documents incorporated by reference) or out of your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

We exclude all representations and warranties as to the satisfactory quality and/or fitness for its intended purpose and/or accuracy and completeness of the Services.

In no event will we, or any of our suppliers, accept any liability however arising for any losses you may incur as a result of using the Services. Under no circumstances will our liability under this Agreement or for breach of contract, tort, equity or otherwise exceed your exposure limit as specified in your account. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits (direct or indirect) or the benefit of any bet arising from breach of contract, negligence, equitable duty (including for the avoidance of doubt in relation to any bet(s) voided by us) or other liability even if we had been advised of or known (or should have known) of the possibility of such damages or loss.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes our liability with respect to death and personal injury resulting from our negligence, or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors.

We will not be liable to you for any loss that you may incur as a result of misuse of your password, or in the case of the Telephone Service, of your telephone access number, and we accept no liability resulting from its unauthorised use, whether fraudulent or otherwise.
