Rugby Rules

Date/Site Changes

All bets placed prior to the scheduled start time of a match will be cancelled if the match is cancelled or postponed to a different day (local time) then initially scheduled. However, bets placed on matches played in a tournament finals (but no qualifiers to the finals), e.g. World Cup Finals, Commonwealth Games, will not be cancelled if postponed, but instead will stand for the new date they are played.

For any bet placed on a match that is played prior to the date or kick-off time originally stated, the bet stands if the bet was placed before the new time, if not, the bet will be deemed cancelled.

If a match is no longer playing at the venue advertised, all bets will stand unless the venue has been changed to the opponent’s home ground, in which case all bets will be cancelled. For international matches, all bets will be cancelled if the venue is changed to a venue in a different country from initially scheduled.

Minimum Length of Play

If a match is abandoned before the end of normal time, all bets on the match are cancelled, except for those markets which have been unconditionally determined. Unless stated otherwise, all rugby league bets are settled on 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in “7s” matches), which includes any injury time added on by the referee.

Settlement

All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown on the website at the time the bet was accepted. This does not include any post-game disputes by either team that alter the final outcome of a match at a later point. For the purposes of these rules, half time is defined as the scheduled first 40 minutes of the 1st Half. Normal time and 80 minutes' Play is defined as the scheduled 80 minutes of play of the 1st and 2nd Half. Extra Time is defined as any scheduled periods of play after normal time and 80 minutes' play. All bets on rugby matches are based on the score at the end of 80 minutes' play, unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled. Prices relating to the score of the match after extra time may be offered at the end of a scheduled 80 minutes' play. All bets specific to extra time will be cancelled if a match is abandoned before its scheduled end unless otherwise stated or the bet has already been settled.

Tryscorer Betting

Penalty tries do not count. In the event of a penalty try, settlement goes on to the next awarded try. BetMGM will make every effort to quote prices for all probable players. However, prices for unquoted players may be available on request and those players will count as winners in the event that they score.

First Tryscorer

Bets have action if a player has entered the field of play at any point prior to the first try being scored. Bets will be cancelled if a player has not entered the field of play at any point prior to the first try being scored. If the game is abandoned at any time and the first try has already been scored, then all bets stand. If no try has been scored at the time of abandonment, then all bets will be cancelled. Penalty tries do not count for the purposes of this market (unless a specific price is available for 'Penalty Try').

Where ‘No Try scorer’ is offered as a betting option and the game ends with no try scored then that will be the winning option and all other outcomes will be settled as losers where applicable, if ‘No try scorer’ is not offered as an option and no try is scored then all bets will be cancelled.

First try scorer bets are settled in accordance with the statistics and reports from the official website of the league/tournament of the match in question. Subsequent alterations will not alter settlement. While every effort is made to produce a comprehensive list of participants for each match, lists are not exhaustive and other players will count as winners if they score the first try.

Anytime/Last Tryscorer

Bets will stand if a player takes any part in a game, no matter how long they play for. Wagers will be cancelled only if a player does not enter the field of play at any stage. If the game is abandoned at any time and the first try has already been scored, then all bets stand. If no try has been scored at the time of abandonment, then all bets will be cancelled. Penalty tries do not count for the purposes of this market (unless a specific price is available for 'Penalty Try').

This bet requires you to predict the player that will score the next try in the match. Only available In-Play. 80 minutes only (or scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in “7s” matches), unless otherwise stated. All players that have taken some part in the game before the next try is scored will be deemed runners. Bets on players that do not take any part in the game before the next try is scored will be cancelled. If there are no further tries scored "No Tryscorer" will be the winning selection. If no price is offered for "No Tryscorer" and no further tries are scored, then all bets on the market will be cancelled.

Time of 1st Try/Last Try/Next Try

If no try is scored in the match then the result will be deemed to be 80mins (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). Therefore, if the selections on offer are, for example, ’19 minutes and under’ and ’20 minutes and over’, then the latter will be settled as the winner. Winning bets must predict the time when the first/next/last try is scored in normal time.

For example, in a match where no tries are scored, the option '20:00 Minutes and after/No try' will be settled as a winner and '00:00 to 19:59 minutes' would be settled as a loser. If a match is abandoned all bets are cancelled, unless the first try has been scored.

Wincast (Anytime Tryscorer and Match Result)

To win you must successfully forecast a player to score a try anytime during 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches) and also the result of the match after 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). Bets stand as long as your selected player plays some part in the match. If your selected player does not take any part in the match, Wincast bets revert to a single on the match result. If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches), Wincast bets are settled as Anytime Tryscorer singles as long as the player played some part in the match and therefore had an opportunity to score a Try.

Trycast (First Player to Score a Try and Match Result)

To win you must successfully forecast both the player who will score the first try in a selected match and also the correct result after 80 minutes play (or the scheduled 14 to 20 minutes in "7s" matches). If your selected player joins the match after the first try has been scored or does not take part in the game, Trycast bets will revert to match result singles. For First Tryscorer purposes, penalty tries do not count, so in this circumstance, the Trycast will be settled on the scorer of the following try and the result of the game. If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 80 minutes and a try has been scored, Trycast bets are settled as First Tryscorer singles. If no try has been scored, all bets are cancelled.

All Extra Time betting markets, such as total points, or time of first try will start from the beginning of extra time and not include normal time. For example, if the game finishes 24-24 at the end of normal time, and if there are ten points scored in extra time, then the extra time total points market will be settled as ten points.
