Void Bets

17.1. Easybet reserves the right to declare any bet wholly or partially void, if any such bet –

• has been offered, placed or accepted as the result of an error;

• has been accepted in circumstances in which such bet would not ordinarily have been accepted, e.g. owing to technical problems occurring in relation to the operation of the Website;

• has been placed in consequence of, or in the process of, Syndicate Betting;

• has been struck in relation to an event of which the result was already known, unlawfully determined or influenced by unlawful conduct;

• has been struck in relation to an event in respect of which a subsequent announcement has been made which significantly alters the prevailing odds in respect of such bet;

• has been struck in any of the circumstances set forth in Clauses 4.1, 5.12, 6.7, 7.13, 8.5, 11.2 or 16.3, or

• is affected by any other state of affairs beyond the control of Easybet arising subsequent to the placement and acceptance of such bet, which materially affects the conduct of the event on which such bet was struck or the prevailing odds available in respect thereof, including acts of God, a national, provincial or global state of emergency, an epidemic or pandemic, or any other similar phenomenon.

17.2. Easybet may declare a bet wholly or partially void in the event of any malfunction occurring or found to have occurred in relation to such bet

17.3. For the purposes of Clause 17.2, the word “malfunction” shall mean any technical, operational, communication, electronic or programming error, defect, flaw or failure, whether immediately detectable to Easybet and/or the Customer or not,  occurring on the Website or in any –

• device, hardware or equipment;

• betting system or software, programme, data file or any other content derived therefrom, or

• game software, programme, data file or any other content derived therefrom, owned or utilised by the Customer for the purposes of betting (for the purposes of 17.3.2 above) or operated and/or made available by Easybet and downloaded and/or accessed and/or utilised by the Customer for the purposes of betting, which –

  • causes any game or product on which betting is offered to operate otherwise than in accordance with the rules published on the Website in respect of such game or product;

  • corrupts, suspends or interrupts the normal and/or intended manner of operation of any game or product on which betting is offered, or

  • results in an outcome which is manifestly out of alignment with the normal and/or intended manner of operation of any game or product on which betting is offered.

• the Customer has received any form of notification from Easybet that such bet is a winning bet and/or that winnings in any amount are payable in respect of such bet.

17.5. In the case of an invalid selection and/or subsequent scratching in a multiple or combination bet, the invalid selection shall be ignored, and the stake shall run onto the other selection in the bet at the price indicated on the ticket/betting slip issued.

17.6. Easybet reserves the right to withhold payment and/or to declare bets void on an event (or series of events), if there is sufficient evidence that:
