Snooker Rules
General Rules
A snooker match is deemed to have started with the break for the first frame. Unless otherwise stated, all bets will stand providing that the initial break has been taken at the beginning of the match. If a player fails to start a tournament or match, all bets on that player, or individual match, will be cancelled.
Date/Site Changes
If a match is postponed all bets will stand providing the match is rescheduled to take place before the end of the Tournament. For any match played outside of a tournament format, all bets are cancelled if the match is not played on the scheduled date.
Minimum Length of Play
In the event of a match starting but not being completed for any reason, all bets on the outcome of the match will be cancelled.
Snooker Wagers
For betting purposes only “legally” potted balls count. This means that whenever there is a “foul ball” involved, the potted balls do not count. Bets will be settled accordingly.
