Due to the dynamic nature of the betting platform, sometimes not all of the bet you asked for is available by the time you submit the bet. This often happens in busy markets – we do have tens of thousands of customers worldwide – or when you deliberately ask for a larger bet than the amount currently available on the screen. The My Bets tab will display two parts – a matched and an unmatched portion of your bet. The unmatched part of the bet can then be amended or cancelled as per normal until it is matched.
The payout is the amount that you receive if your selection wins an event.
Place Markets allow you to back or lay any selection to be placed (that is, come 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc, dependent of the terms) in a particular race or event. Different place terms apply to different markets, so it is vitally important that you check the Rules of the market for how many places are to be paid are before you place a bet.
Tools such as Session Timers, Deposit and Loss Limits allow you to decide how much time and money you want to spend and help make sure that you stay in control of your gambling.
