2. Handshake Bet Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n2.1 When building your handshake bet, there are a few simple rules that you need you to follow.<\/p>\n
2.2 Bets should have a clear outcome which can be independently verified by both the Challenger and Opponent.<\/p>\n
2.3 You should not place a bet on a sporting event or contingency that is restricted to persons under the age of 18.<\/p>\n
2.4 Bets should not:<\/p>\n
(a) be unclear or ambiguous;<\/p>\n
(b) be offensive, distasteful or unsavory.<\/p>\n
(c) involve the death or injury of a person or animal;<\/p>\n
(d) incite criminal conduct or the inducement of criminal conduct;<\/p>\n
(e) incite or encourage someone to breach a sport governing body\u2019s rules; or<\/p>\n
(f) involve ethnicity.<\/p>\n
2.5 Built into the Create bet feature is an automated language filter, which will block certain bets from being submitted to us for review.<\/p>\n
3. Create Handshake Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n3.1 To create your bet, the following information needs to be completed within the \u201cCreate Bet\u201d page:<\/p>\n
(a) Choose your opponent(s) or create an \u201cOpen\u201d bet;<\/p>\n
(b) Search and select your betting event;<\/p>\n
(c) Define your bet;<\/p>\n
(d) Select visibility (not applicable to \u201cOpen\u201d bet); and<\/p>\n
(e) Submit your bet.<\/p>\n
3.2 Once your bet has been submitted, the Opponent(s) then receives a notification inviting them to accept the bet. After opening the notification, the Opponent(s) will then have the option to \u201cAccept Bet\u201d. Alternatively, a bet can be accepted by an Opponent via the \u201cOpen Bets\u201d page.<\/p>\n
3.3 The Challenger will receive a notification when a bet has been accepted or rejected by an Opponent. Unaccepted bets will be cancelled once the betting event commences.<\/p>\n
3.4 All accepted bets can be viewed under the \u201cMy Bets\u201d section of the App.<\/p>\n
4. Handshake Bet Settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n4.1 We provide the ability for both the Challenger and the Opponent to mutually agree on the winner of their bet.<\/p>\n
4.2 A bet will not be resulted until:<\/p>\n
(a) one party declares the other party as the winner; or<\/p>\n
(b) both parties declare the same party as the winner.<\/p>\n
4.3 A bet can be resulted by selecting the relevant bet under the \u201cMy Bets\u201d section on the app and selecting the \u201cDeclare Winner\u201d option.<\/p>\n
4.4 If one party attempts to declare a winner before the outcome of the bet is determined, then the other party can opt to hold off on declaring the winner until the final result is known.<\/p>\n
5. Cancellation of unmatched handshake bets<\/strong><\/p>\n5.1 You may cancel unmatched bets at any time by searching for the specific bet you would like to cancel under the \u201cMy Bets\u201d section of the app.<\/p>\n
5.2 Once a bet has been accepted by an Opponent, it cannot be edited. This means that neither the Challenger nor the Opponent will be able to cancel the bet once it has been accepted by the Opponent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
