9. All rules, regulations and payoffs contained herein are subject to changes and revisions by Pinnacle Sports without prior written notice.

11. Pinnacle Sports relies entirely upon the information provided by the customer in the application in order to establish a wagering account. Pinnacle Sports is not responsible for any form of misrepresentation by the customer.

12. In the event funds are credited to a customer's account in error, it is incumbent upon the customer to notify Pinnacle Sports of aforesaid error without delay. For accounts with minus balances, Pinnacle Sports reserves the right to cancel any pending plays, whether placed with funds resulting from the error or not.

13. Members are solely responsible for their own account transactions. Please be sure to review your wagers for any mistakes before sending them in. Once a transaction is complete, it cannot be changed. Pinnacle Sports does not take responsibility for missing or duplicate wagers made by the client and will not entertain discrepancy requests because a play is missing or duplicated. Clients may review their transactions in the Review Account section of the site after each session to ensure all requested wagers were accepted. CHECK ALL TRANSACTIONS CAREFULLY!

14. Disputes must be lodged within seven (7) days from the date the wager in question has been decided. No claims will be honored after this period. The client is solely responsible for their account transactions. Complaints/disputes have to be sent to csd@pinnaclesports.com and must be sent from the client's registered email address.

    The client has the right to lodge a complaint with one of our licensing bodies should all efforts to resolve a dispute to the client's satisfaction have failed. Please refer to General Rule 34 for the appropriate licensing jurisdiction to contact.

15. Each client is wholly responsible for maintaining the secrecy of his betting account and should make every effort to prevent the use of his personal account number by any third party. Any transactions entered into where the account holder's number has been given to effect a wager shall stand as bona fide transactions dependent only upon the current balance in the account.

16. In the event a customer suspects a third party may have their client number and password, the customer may at any time ask that Pinnacle Sports furnish the customer with a new client number and password.

17. Pinnacle Sports shall not be responsible for any damages or losses deemed or alleged to have resulted from or been caused by this Web site or its content. This includes any person's use or misuse of its content, the inability of any person to connect with or use the site, delay in operations or transmission, failure of communication lines, or any errors or omissions in content.

18. All account balances and transactions appear in the currency selected when the account was originally opened.

19. In those types of games or contests in which a draw price is offered, Pinnacle Sports may offer a so called three-way line with the draw as the third betting option. In these cases, when the outcome is a draw, only those bettors who wagered on the draw will be paid as winners; those who wagered on either team or contestant to win will lose their stake.

20. Pinnacle Sports reserves the right to suspend a client account without prior notice and return all funds.

21. You will not cause any transactions to be made at Pinnacle Sports that are not in good faith in an attempt to defraud the company, regardless of whether or not it actually causes us harm.

22. Pinnacle Sports identifies and communicates with our clients via the email address registered in the account. It is the responsibility of the customer to maintain an active and unique email account, to provide us with the correct email address and to advise Pinnacle Sports of any changes in the address.

Pinnacle Sports shall not be responsible for any damages or losses deemed or alleged to have resulted from communications between Pinnacle Sports and the client using the registered email address. Any customer not having an email address reachable by Pinnacle Sports will have his account suspended until such an address is provided to us.

23. For a wager to have action on any named contestant in a Yes/No Proposition, the contestant must enter and compete in the event.

24. Pinnacle Sports attempts to follow the normal conventions to indicate home and away teams by indicating the home and away team by means of vertical placement on the desk top site version. This means in American Sports we would place the home team on the bottom. For Non-US sports, we would indicate the home team on top. In the case of a neutral venue, we attempt to include the letter "N" next to the team names to indicate this.
    
    For the Asian and mobile versions, we do not distinguish between European and American Sports. On the Asian and mobile versions of the site, the home team is always listed first.

    However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of this information and unless there is an official venue change subsequent to bets being placed, all wagers have action.

25. A game/match will have action regardless of the League heading that is associated with the matchup. For example, two teams from the same League are playing in a Cup competition. If the matchup is mistakenly placed in the League offering, the game/match will still have action, as long as the matchup is correct. In other words, a matchup will have action as long as the two teams are correct, and regardless of the League header in which it is placed on our website.

26. If a sport-specific rule contradicts a general rule, then the general rule will not apply.

27. If an event is not played on the same date as announced by the governing body, then all wagers on the event have no action (for additional information please see general rule 26).

    If an event is posted by Pinnacle Sports with an incorrect date, all wagers have action based on the date announced by the governing body.

28. Pinnacle Sports reserves the right to cancel any bet perceived to be placed in a fraudulent manner in order to circumvent our bet limits and/or system regulations.

29. The customer's personal information will be protected and processed in strict compliance with our Privacy Policy. For your reference a link to the Privacy Policy is provided at the bottom of this page.

30. Fees and charges may apply to customer deposits and withdrawals. For complete details about fees and charges for each payment type offered, please refer to our Payment Options page. For your reference a link to the Payment Options page is provided at the bottom of this page.

    Please note that any deposit made to an account which is not rolled (bet) one time will incur both the withdrawal fee and a 5% processing fee.

31. Pinnacle Sports reserves the right to request valid proof of identification from all players. All clients opening an account with Pinnacle Sports agree to provide the necessary documents on demand. Valid proof of identification includes but is not limited to, a picture ID (copy of passport, driver's license or national ID card) and a recent utility bill listing your name and address as proof of residence. Please note that Pinnacle Sports reserves the right to suspend wagering on any account until the required information is received, including but not limited to, Credit Card information.

32. Customer funds are segregated from corporate funds and the company ensures that sufficient funds are available at all times to meet its obligations to customers. Interest is not payable to customers.

33. Clients have the right to self-exclude themselves from Pinnaclesports.com. These requests have to be received from the client's registered email address and have to be sent to csd@pinnaclesports.com.

34. Pinnacle Sports is licensed and regulated by the Government of Curacao. For purposes of establishing jurisdiction with regards to customer activity on our site, including any and all transactions and interactions between customers and us, customers from all countries and territories fall under the regulation of the Government of Curacao..

Pinnacle Sports is not responsible for actions taken by customers due to a misunderstanding of the differences between the offered sites.

ATHLETICS

Athletics:

1. Participants awarded gold, silver and bronze medals at the medal ceremony will be deemed 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively for betting purposes.

2. Pinnacle settles bets based on the classification that is published immediately after the race. Pinnacle does not recognize results overturned later via protests, doping tests, or other means.

Head to Head Best Finishing Position Propositions:

1. Wagers will have action as long as both participants compete (have a valid start) in any heat or final. However, if we post a contest subsequent to preliminary heat(s), and one of the listed participants (who qualified for next round) does not compete in any future heat or final, all wagers made after the last completed heat (for the two participants) in that event for that contest will have no action.

Best Finishing Position will be determined by the following:

1. The competitor who advances to the latest round of the competition will be declared the winner.

   For example, if Contestant A reaches the Semi-Final Heat, and Contestant B is eliminated in the Quarter-Final Heat (does not reach Semi-Final Heat), then Contestant A will be graded as the winner.

2. If both contestants are knocked out in the same preliminary round, but compete in the same exact race, starting at the same time, then the better finisher in that race will be declared the winner.

3. If both contestants are knocked out in the same preliminary round, but race in separate races (i.e. compete in different Quarter-Final Heat), then regardless of their time or finish, all wagers will be graded as no action.

   For example, Contestant A and Contestant B both do not register a time fast enough in the Quarterfinals to advance to the Semi-Finals. All wagers would be graded as no action, as long as Contestant A and Contestant B did not compete in the same exact Quarter-Final Heat versus each other.

4. When two (or more) contestants reach the Finals, then order of finish in the Final will determine the winner for the "Best Finishing Position" contest.

Multi-Way Wagering on Winner of Event:

1. For multi-way futures, betting all events are "ALL-IN" betting - no refunds, unless a stipulation is added that a certain participant must start for action. If such a stipulation is included, then ALL wagers on ALL participants will be void if the stipulated entry does not compete in that specific event. If there is more than one winner, the odds will be divided with the number of winners. However, odds can never be lower than 1.00.

1. Any wager made after an official announcement of the winner by the IAAF or iaaf.org will be considered void.

3. Driver must start race for action. In the case of matchups, both must start for action.

4. In head-to-head matchups, in the event neither driver finishes, the driver completing more laps will be deemed the winner. If both drivers have completed the same number of full laps, wagers will be graded as no action. Subsequent penalties or demotions will not affect the grading of wagers.

1. All race bets are settled on the official classification as defined by the official race organisers and will not be affected by any subsequent enquiries.

Baseball

General:

1. When wagering on either total runs (over/under) or team totals (over/under) the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.

2. Wagers on total runs (over/under) and team totals (over/under) will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch.

3. Rules for Run Line (handicap) and Alternate Run Line (alternate handicap) wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.

4. The result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.

5. Pinnacle Sports does not recognize postponed games, protests or overturned decisions for wagering purposes. As long as the event is played on the schedule day, all bets have action. If inclement weather (or similar delay) pushes the start time past midnight local time, but the game is still played, all bets have action. If the game is rescheduled, all bets are cancelled.

6. In the case of a suspended playoff game that will be resumed in a span of 96 hours after its suspension, all wagers have action and will be graded after the completion of the game. If the game is not completed within the 96 hours following the time of suspension, then all bets have no action.

7. Money-line wagers on baseball will be accepted in the following manner:

   • Action - team against team, regardless of the starting pitchers.

   • Listed Pitchers - if both starting pitchers are not as specified at the time of the bet, the wager will be deemed "no action".

   • One Listed Pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. If the specified pitcher does not start, the wager is deemed "no action". (examples: "the Red Sox versus Helling" indicates a wager against Helling. "Helling against the Red Sox" indicates a wager on Helling).

   Please Note: Typographical errors in a pitcher's name will not be grounds for wager cancellation.

8. In the event there is a pitching change prior to the game, the money-line will be re-adjusted and "action" wagers will be graded using the opening price for the new pitcher.

9. A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter.

10. Wagers on totals (over/under) and run-lines (handicap) must always specify both pitchers listed.

11. Double Headers: Double header games are denoted as Game1 or Game2. Members may list pitchers in a double header, however, wagers are taken on games, not pitchers. If a scheduled pitcher does not go in his scheduled game of a double header but in the other game, wagers are graded based on the Game, not on the pitcher.

    In the case a double header is played between Team A and Team B and Pinnacle posts a price for Team A vs Team B for only one game, not designating this as either Game 1 or Game 2, this shall be considered as a price on game 1. If, in fact, Game 1 has already started, this shall be presumed to be Game 2.

12. In the case that a Run Ahead or Mercy Rule is invoked, games will be considered to be complete. Games wagers on runlines, totals, team totals and money line will have action.

MLB Regular Season Wins Over/Under:

1. A baseball team must play at least 160 games for wagers on its season wins to have action.

2. For grading purposes, no extra tiebreaker games for wildcard or division will count toward the season win total.

MLB Rules for Live Betting:

1. These rules apply to all wagers made during live MLB wagering.

2. For grading purposes, all games must go 8.5 innings and be played to completion within 7 days of their start time for wagers to have action.

First-Half Wagers (5 innings):

1. All wagers on baseball first halfs (5 innings) will be decided on the basis of the score at the end of five full innings.

2. If a game does not go five full innings, all first-half wagers (5 innings) will be canceled.

3. Once 5 full innings have been completed, all wagers on the first half (5 innings) will stand.

4. All first-half wagers (5 innings) must list both pitchers. If either listed pitcher does not start, wagers on the first half (5 innings) will be canceled.

Baseball Grand Salami:

1. The Baseball Grand Salami will be decided by the total runs scored in all major-league games scheduled for that day.

2. All scheduled games must go at least 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is winning). If any scheduled game is canceled or stopped before the completion of 8.5 innings, all wagers on the Baseball Grand Salami will be canceled.

3. No pitchers will be listed for the Grand Salami; all wagers will have action regardless of the starting pitchers.

MLB Runs, Hits and Errors (MLB R-H-E):

1. All MLB R-H-E wagers will be graded using the sum of Runs, Hits and Errors as grading factors.

   For example,

   	Runs	Hits	Errors
   LA Angels	2	6	3
   Cleveland	14	10	0

   will result in a MLB R-H-E score of LA Angels 11, Cleveland 24

2. When wagering on MLB R-H-E totals (over/unders) or MLB R-H-E spreads, the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie in the bottom half of the inning in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called. With MLB R-H-E moneylines the game must go 4.5 if the home team is ahead or 5 innings if the home team is not ahead after 4.5 innings.

3. For all MLB R-H-E wagers both listed pitchers must start. A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter. If a listed pitcher doesn't start all monies will be refunded.

MLB Prop Rules:

1. On any prop, the player(s) must start, and either throw one pitch(if pitchers), or have one plate appearance (if position players) in the designated game for the wager to have action.

2. The starting pitchers listed in the 1st inning shootout proposition must start, and throw a pitch, for all MLB Propositions for that game to have action.

3. For which team will score first props, the prop will be decided and graded as soon as either team scores, regardless if the game eventually becomes official.
   

4. All props regarding just the outcome of the first inning will be decided and graded at the end of the first inning, regardless if the game eventually becomes official.

5. On Total Bases Propositions, the listed pitchers and both players must start. A batter is only credited for bases if he hits a single (1 base), a double (2 bases), a triple (3 bases) or a home run (4 bases). A walk, hit by pitch, error, balk, fielder’s choice, or passed ball do not count for Total Bases Propositions. The batter must hit the ball and make it to first base without an error being committed.

6. Pitcher propositions "Total Runs Allowed" include both earned and unearned runs.

7. Any MLB proposition using the phrase "innings pitched" will be graded using the box score number.

   For example, a visiting starter who pitches five complete innings and then faces three batters in the top of the sixth, but records no outs. This would be graded as 5.0 innings pitched.

   Or a home starter pitched five complete innings and did not throw a pitch in the bottom of the sixth. This would be graded as 5.0 innings pitched.
   
   

   A "pick-em" match-up between these two pitchers for most innings pitched would be graded a tie.

8. For Division Winner wagers, if two teams have the same record after 162 games, the winner of the Division will be 1) the winner of the tiebreaker game, or 2) the team declared the winner by the MLB tiebreaker system for seeding playoff teams.

9. In a suspended game, total base props will have action only if the game is restarted and finished (goes 9 innings with a winner or 8.5 innings, if the home team is winning) on the date scheduled, or on the following day. If the game is suspended, and then rescheduled for a date past the following day, all wagers will be refunded.
   
   For clarity, a suspended game is a game which started (had a pitch thrown), and was stopped.

10. For the Proposition "Player to hit most Home Runs in MLB?", if there is a tie at the conclusion of the regular season, the player with the highest batting average, among those tied, will be declared the sole winner.

MLB General Props:

1. For MLB General Props, the result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings.

2. MLB General Props do not require any specific pitcher to start a game.

3. If there are 10 or more games scheduled on a given day, all games or all games but one must go to completion for MLB General Props to have action. No more than one game may be shortened or postponed.

4. If there are 9 or fewer games scheduled on a given day, all of them must go to completion for MLB General Props to have action. No game may be either shortened or postponed.

5. Only the statistics of games declared official will be used for purposes of scoring MLB General Props. If a shortened game is declared official and MLB General Props have action, then statistics of this shortened game will be included with regard to grading.

6. For the prop "How many players will hit more than 1 HR today?" - This prop will refer to any player hitting more than one HR in a single game. If a player hits 1 HR in each game of a double-header, that does NOT count as more than 1 HR for the day. He must hit 2 or more HR's in a single game for it to be considered more than 1 HR.

7. For MLB General Props, if a team plays more than one game on a given day (e.g. double header), the statistics of each game will be considered independent. (e.g. "Most runs scored by one team", Philadelphia plays two games, scoring 4 runs in game one and 5 runs in game two. Either the 4 runs or 5 runs will be used but they will NOT be combined as 9 runs.)

MLB Futures: Player vs Player Season Props:

1. For baseball player vs. player season props, if either or both players start the season on the disabled list, not on the active roster or is sent to the minors, wagers have no action.

Regular Season Baseball Series Wagers:

1. Wagers on baseball series are based on the first three games played of each series.

2. At least two of the first three series games must be played for wagers to have action.

3. If only one of the first three games is postponed or canceled, series wagers stand as written.

4. If two of the first three games are postponed or canceled, all wagers on that series will be graded as No Action and the monies refunded.

5. A called game will count toward a series wager provided it is officially declared a regulation game.

6. Pitchers cannot be listed for series wagers; all wagers will have action regardless of the starting pitchers.

PlayOffs / World Series Pick 4:

Each combination lists the exact order of finish of the final four Major League teams in the playoffs, specified by the order of names as follows:

1. The winner of the World Series.
2. The loser of the World Series.
3. The loser of the American League Championship Series.
4. The loser of the National League Championship Series.

Example: Suppose we have the following result in the playoffs:

In that case, the winning combination would be: Dodgers/Twins/Angels/Braves.

If there is still a tie after utilizing the tiebreaker procedure, a Superfecta will be graded a winner if any possible order for the still-tied teams would be a winner.

Home Run Derby: All-Star Game:

2. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.

3. For all games previously scheduled for nine innings, when wagering on total runs (over/under), run lines (handicap) or alternate run lines (alternate handicap), the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action.

Note that in the case of a tie, Taiwanese Line type bets are not graded as no action (cancel). Instead, if the score lands on the Handicap, a wager on a Positive taiball percent will pay out the taiball percent of the original to win amount. A wager on the negative taiball percentage will lose the taiball percent of the original Risk amount.

2. Wagers on a golfer who does not play in the tournament are graded as No Action, and all monies refunded.

3. A golfer is deemed to have played once he or she has teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off, wagers on that player will be lost.

4. Wagers will be settled using the official tournament and match results (including final match correct score and individual match betting). This includes a match which finishes early, either by agreement of the players or because of injury.

Outright Betting (Tournament Winner):

1. The "Field" includes all players not offered by name.

2. All outright bets are settled on the player winning the trophy. The result of play-offs is taken into account.

3. If a tournament does not go the specified number of completed holes (usually 72) and is shortened by the tournament officials, the leader at the end of the number of holes specified by the officials will be the winner, unless there is no further play or only part of a round completed after a bet has been placed, in which case that bet will be canceled.

4. In the event that two or more golfers are tied for the lead at the end of regulation play, a sudden death playoff is normally used to determine the winner of the tournament. In this case, the winner of the playoff is the winner for betting purposes. All other golfers in the playoff will be graded as second-place finishers.

5. In the event of a tie for a finishing position, the tied position will count; for example, if five players tie for eighth place, all five will be considered to have finished eighth.

6. In some tournaments, tournament officials may have the individuals play a specified number of playoff holes to determine the tournament winner. In this case, the golfer with the lowest score after completing the specified number of holes will be declared the winner, and all other golfers in the playoff will be graded as second-place finishers.

Golf Matchups:

1. In head-to-head matchups, both golfers must tee off in order to have action.

2. Players are paired for betting purposes only. The player with the lower score over the entire tournament is the matchup winner.

3. Settlement will be on the player achieving the highest placing at the end of the tournament. If the number of rounds played is reduced, as in the case of bad weather, bets stand providing that a tournament winner is declared.

4. If one player misses the cut, the other player is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut, the lowest score after the cut has been made will determine the winner.

5. 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, the other player is deemed the winner.

6. 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, the disqualified player will be considered the winner.

To Miss/Make The Cut:

For some tournaments we may offer prices for players to make the cut (take part in the final rounds), or miss the cut (fail to qualify for the final rounds).

18 Hole Wagering:

The winner will be the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. If scores are level after 18 holes, all wagers will be canceled. Play-offs do not count.

Finishing Position of a Named Player:

In the event of a tie for a finishing position, the tied position will count, eg. a tie with 5 other players for 8th place will count as a finishing position of 8.

Individual Player's Round Score:

All bets will be canceled if the player does not complete the round.

Selected Player's Score At the Next Hole :

All bets will be canceled if the player does not complete the nominated hole. Settlement of bets is determined when the player leaves the green.

Group Betting:

1. The winner will be the player with the lowest score at the end of the tournament (or after the cut if all players miss the cut), playoff included.

2. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the player with the lowest score for the final round. If a tie still exists the stake money on a player is divided by the number of players involved in the tie. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost.

3. If a player does not tee off all bets on that group will be void and monies refunded.

Golf Three-Way Matchups (Three-Balls):

1. Wagers on three-way golf matchups, known as "three-balls", will be decided by the lowest score after one full round of play. A full round is complete when 18 holes have been completed.

2. If a player who has started withdraws before completing 18 holes he is deemed a loser regardless of the score. A player has started once he tees off on the first hole. If any player withdraws before starting, all bets on all players in his group are canceled.

3. In the event of starting groups being rearranged, bets will be settled on the original groups.

4. Breaking Ties:

   In case of a tie for the low score in three-ball matches, we use the European dead heat rule:

   • If two golfers tie for the best score, a bet on either of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: Half the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and half the bet loses. A bet on the golfer who finishes last is a losing bet.

   • If all three golfers tie for the best score, a bet on any of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: One-third of the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and two-thirds of the bet loses.

Top Points Scorer:

In the event of a tie the stake money on a player is divided by the number of players involved in the tie. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost.

Handball

1. For wagering purposes, winners and losers are determined by the score at the end of normal time. Extra time (an extension of normal time) will not count unless specified.

2. Pinnacle Sports may offer a so called three-way line with the draw as the third betting option. In these cases, when the outcome is a draw, only those bettors who wagered on the draw will be paid as winners; those who wagered on either team or contestant to win will lose their stake.

3. If a match is postponed for any reason, all wagers will be cancelled and monies refunded.

4. If a match venue is changed all bets stand.

8. In-Play betting: All markets are based on regulation time for settlement purposes (overtime does not count). In tournaments, if a new market is formed at the end of regulation time, eg. To Win in Overtime, penalty shootouts count.

Hockey

1. Unless otherwise stated, all wagers are for regulation time ONLY and do NOT include either overtime or penalty shootouts.

   Example: The Rangers and Kings are tied 3-3 after regulation time and proceed to overtime. The Rangers eventually win. The final score for wagering purposes is Rangers 3, Kings 3.

   If a line includes overtime, it will be clearly stated in the bet offer and clearly written on the ticket. Please check your ticket carefully.

   Penalty Shootouts are expressly considered part of overtime. If a Penalty Shootout is contested, the winner will be credited with an extra goal.

   Example: Dynamo and CSKA are tied 2-2 and proceed to a Shootout. Dynamo wins the Shootout. For our line matching "Dynamo including OT" vs "CSKA including OT", the final score for wagering purposes is Dynamo 3, CSKA 2.

2. Minimum time for action: Games must go a minimum of 55 minutes for action. If a game is suspended before 55 complete minutes are played, all bets on the outcome of the game are refunded.

3. Minimum time for action on Periods: The specific period must be played in its entirety for bets to stand. Otherwise, all bets on the period are refunded.

4. Goals in overtime or the shootout do not count toward bets on the 3rd period.

5. "Home Goals vs Away Goals" and Grand Salami: The "Home Goals vs Away Goals" and Grand Salami will be decided by the total goals scored in all games scheduled in the given league for the given day. All scheduled games must play three full periods. If any scheduled game is canceled or stopped before three full periods are played, all wagers on the "Home Goals vs Away Goals" and the Grand Salami will be canceled.

6. Propositions:

   1. Propositions are graded including overtime but not penalty shootouts.
   2. Total Player Points: Both goals and assists are included.

Marathon

1. For wagering purposes, winners and losers are determined based on the official time (gun time), not net time (chip time).

2. Except if listed as "All In", wagers on a runner who does not line up for the event are graded as No Action, and all monies refunded.

3. In head-to-head matchups, both runners must line up in order to have action.

4. A runner is deemed to have started if he is lined up when the event starts. If a runner pulls out before passing the start line, wagers have action and wagers on that runner will be lost.

Mixed Martial Arts

1. Unless otherwise noted, fights must take place within one week of the listed date of the fight or the bout will be graded "no action" and wagers refunded.

2. Venue changes within the same country will not affect the status of pending wagers. Venue changes to a different country will result in a grade of "no action" on all pending wagers.

3. If the number of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed, the following wagers will have action: the fight winner, fighter wins only, and draw options. "fight totals" & "will go / won't go" will have action if the updated scheduled rounds is more than the total listed on the proposition. Exact round of ending, fighter to win inside distance, win by decision, and goes distance propositions will all be no action if scheduled rounds are changed or misposted.

4. Results will be graded based on the official result at ringside.

5. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. For wagering purposes, results are not official until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes.

6. A wager on a fighter "Inside Distance" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, DQ, submission, or any other form of stoppage.

7. A wager on a fighter to win by "KO/TKO" wins only if the fighter wins by KO, TKO or corner stoppage. A win by submission is not considered a KO/TKO in MMA.

8. When a "draw" occurs, wagers on both fighters "to win" are refunded.

9. Other proposition wagers are graded according to their specific wording.

10. An "If Wins Only" wager loses when a fight ends in a draw.

11. Any fight that is deemed "no contest" will have all wagers refunded.

12. A total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly two minutes and thirty seconds into a five minute round. Thus, 2½ rounds would be two minutes and thirty seconds of the 3rd round.

13. If an over/under total lands on the exact half round total in a fight, the wager will be a push. If the phrase "Fight goes 2:30 round X", and the fight ends at exactly that second of that round, then "Fight goes" will be graded the winner.

14. In round distance wagering, if a fighter fails to answer the bell for the start of any round, the fight officially ended in the last round fought.

15. In total wagering, if a fighter does not answer the bell to start a round where the fight has gone the exact distance listed on the total, the UNDER is the winner.

16. For wagers that state "will a fighter win in round x", that fighter must finish the fight in round x to win the prop. For example, if you bet YES for "Mark Coleman to win in round 3", then the fight must be stopped in Coleman's favor in round 3 for yes to be considered the winner. The only exception is if a fighter does not answer the bell for a round. Then the fight officially ended in the last round fought.

17. Any fight involving an extra round or "sudden victory" round, this round will be included for wagering purposes.

3. In case of postponement of a leg or legs, accumulators will follow the Pinnacle Sports' rules listed for each specific sport. For example, if a straight bet would have had no action based on our rules, then that leg of the accumulator would also have no action.

Poker

4. If both players play the same number of sessions the matchup will be a push. Further, if for example player A begins the tournament on day one and goes out on day one and player B begins the tournament on day two and goes out on day two, the matchup A vs. B would be scored as a tie, since they had both played the same number of sessions.

Soccer

1. Soccer kickoff dates and times displayed on our website are an indication only and are not guaranteed to be correct. If a match does not start as scheduled, and does not start the same day (local time of the match site) then wagers on the match will have no action and be refunded.
   
   The exception being any wager on whether a team advances in a cup competition, or raises the cup, will have action regardless of a suspended or postponed match

2. If the wagering offer on a match includes the draw as a third option and the match ends in a draw, wagers on the draw will be paid, while wagers on both teams will be lost.

3. Wagers will be decided on games with two halves scheduled for 45 minutes each and any time the referee adds to compensate for injuries and other stoppages. It does not include periods of extra time nor penalty shootouts. Occasionally, tournaments, friendlies, or other matches may have time frames different than two 45 minute halves. If Pinnacle does not announce this special playing time before the start of the game all bets will be considered void and stakes returned. If, in a game scheduled for two halves of 45 minutes each, a referee ends the game with an official result with what appears to be a time different than 2 halves of 45 minutes each, wagers will have action. If a referee declares a game abandoned for any reason, wagers will be void and stakes returned.

   For example:

   9 May 2010: Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Hansa Rostock:
   The match was suspended and resumed shortly afterwards twice for crowd disturbances. The referee decided not to add extra time for the 2nd suspension and ended the match with an official result after only 87 minutes were played. In this case all wagers had action since the match was not abandoned. The referee ended the match with an official result.

   17 October 2010: FC Ashdod vs Hapoel Beer Sheva:
   The match was abandoned by the referee during injury time in the 93rd minute because of crowd disturbances. At a later date, Hapoel Beer Sheve was awarded a technical win by the governing Football Association. In this case, all wagers were voided since the match was abandoned. It was irrelevant that 90 minutes were completed or that match was in injury time since the referee abandoned the match. In addition, for grading purposes, awarded technical results are not taken into consideration.

   26 June 2011: River Plate vs Belgrano:
   The match was ended by the referee with an official result (1:1) in the 90th minute without adding injury time because of crowd disturbances. In this case, all wagers had action because the match was not abandoned. The referee ended the match with an official result.

4. If a match is suspended before full time is reached, and not completed the same day, (local time of the match site) wagers on the outcome of the match are considered void and all stakes shall be returned. If a match is suspended before full time is reached and not resumed the same day, (local time of the match site) wagers related to just the first half will have action, only if the first half has been completed. However, in the case of a suspended match not resumed the same day, (local time of the match site) most other proposition wagers not strictly related to the first half will have no action. These will include, but aren't limited to: corner kicks, offsides, players to be sent off, red/yellow cards, both teams to score, correct score, time of first goal, clean sheet, and specific players to score/not score. For further clarity, a bet on both teams to score will be void in a suspended match, even if both teams have already scored. Likewise, a wager on a player to score/not score will have no action in a suspended match, even if that player already scored. Likewise, a wager on when the first goal will be scored will have no action in a suspended match, regardless of whether a goal has been scored. Likewise all corner/offside bets will be void in a suspended match, even if the number has exceeded the posted over/under. Propositions on the team to score first, or next, will have action if there is a goal in a suspended match.

5. Handicap Betting: Soccer games may have either a Single Handicap or a Double Handicap.

   Single Handicap: This bet type is similar to a bet on the spread in basketball.

   For example:

   Arsenal
   Newcastle
   

   -1, -125
   +1, +113
   

   If Arsenal wins the match by two goals or more, Arsenal bettors win and Newcastle bettors lose. If the match is drawn or if Newcastle wins, Newcastle bettors win and Arsenal bettors lose. If Arsenal wins by exactly one goal, all bettors receive a refund.

   Double Handicap: This bet type splits a wager into two bets, each with the same moneyline, but at a different single handicap.

   For example:

   Real Madrid
   Barcelona
   

   -1 and -1.5, -108
   +1 and +1.5, +100
   

   A client who bets $100 on Real Madrid actually has two separate bets on Real Madrid: $50 on Real Madrid -1 at -108 and $50 on Real Madrid -1.5 at -108.

   A client who bets $50 on Barcelona actually has two separate bets on Barcelona: $25 on Barcelona +1 at +100 and $25 on Barcelona +1.5 at +100.

6. Overs/Unders: A match must reach full time for wagers on the total number of goals scored in the match to be valid.

7. Should there be a dispute over a proposition (examples include, but are not limited to: name of the first goalscorer; time of a goal) wagers will be settled and paid based on the reports of the sporting media.

8. Wagers on the first half of a soccer match include 45 minutes of play plus any stoppage time added by the referee at the end of the first half. If the first half is not completed, wagers shall be void and stakes returned.

9. Wagers on the second half of a soccer match include 45 minutes of play plus any stoppage time added by the referee at the end of the second half. Extra periods, golden goals, and shootouts are not included in second half wagering. Goals scored in the first half do not count toward the second half wager.

   Example: Suppose AC Milan lead Juventus 1-0 at half time and the odds on the second half are Juventus -0.5. The -0.5 applies to the second half of play only. Therefore Juventus bettors win if Juventus scores more goals in the second half than AC Milan scores in the second half. AC Milan bettors win if the teams score an equal number of goals in the second half, or if AC Milan scores more goals in the second half than Juventus scores in the second half.

   The match must reach full time for second half wagers to stand.

10. Bets on teams to qualify or to advance to the next round of a competition:

    Bets are paid out on the referee’s final whistle at the match’s natural conclusion, whether the match is decided in regular time, extra time, or in a penalty shootout. Extra time and penalty shootouts are always included for betting purposes.

    In a one-leg match all bets have action once the match kicks off. If the referee abandons a one-leg match (for reasons including, but not limited to: crowd disturbances, unplayability of the pitch, or one team not having enough players to continue) bets will be paid based on decisions of the relevant governing body. Bets will stand while the governing body considers the circumstances of the abandonment and determines what remedy is to be taken (including, but no limited to: forfeiture, resumption of play at a later time, or a replay). If a team is disqualified before the match kicks off, all bets are void. If the rules prescribe a replay for a drawn match, all bets stand for the replay.

    In a two-leg match, all bets have action once the second leg kicks off, provided that the first leg has not been ruled a forfeit. If the first leg is ruled a forfeit, all bets on teams ‘to qualify’ or ‘to advance’ are void. If the second leg is abandoned, all bets remain valid and will be paid based on decisions of the relevant governing body.

11. Wagers made on a team winning a specific cup or trophy will have action through Extra Time and Penalty Kicks. For example, a bet made on AC Milan to win the Champions League Trophy would have action through Extra Time and Penalty Kicks and would be graded on the result after those added sessions(if they were needed to be played).

12. For proposition bets concerning total number of goals on a specific day in a specific league/competition, the exact number of matches must be played on that day and wagers will be decided based on two halves of 45 minutes each and any time the referee adds to compensate for injuries and other stoppages. Goals scored in periods of extra time or penalty shootouts do not count.
    
    For example, a prop for total number of goals for 3 English Premiere matches on a Sunday, must have all 3 matches completed for action on that day. If one or more games is not played (or completed) on that Sunday, the wager has no action.

13. For proposition bets concerning home vs away goals on a specific day in a specific league/competition, the exact number of matches must be played on that day and wagers will be decided based on two halves of 45 minutes each and any time the referee adds to compensate for injuries and other stoppages. Goals scored in periods of extra time or penalty shootouts do not count.
    
    For example, a prop for home vs away goals for 3 English Premiere matches on a Sunday, must have all 3 matches completed for action on that day. If one or more games is not played (or completed) on that Sunday, the wager has no action.
