Hard Rock Bet House Rules: Sports Gaming

The sports wagering rules (these “Rules”) set out herein are subject to modification at any time at the sole discretion of Hard Rock Bet, subject to regulatory approval of the Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council (“Council”). These are general grading rules and any exceptions or variations to these rules for certain sports will be stated under the specific sports rules. The patron should therefore always consult the sport-specific rules for each sport as the sport-specific rules will take precedence over the General Rules. Where any matter is not covered by these Rules, Hard Rock Bet reserves the right to decide on an individual basis.

Section 1. Placing Bets

Section 2. Confirmation of a Bet

Section 3. Grading of Bets

Section 4. Dead-Heat Rule

Section 5. Maximum Winnings

Maximum winnings are classified in the table below:

Section 6. Related Contingencies

A related contingency occurs when part of a transaction affects the outcome of the remainder of the bet. Outside our specific product features which are purposed to facilitate parlays within the same event, our system will block related contingency bets when bet placement is attempted. However, if any such bet is accepted in error, the stake will be equally distributed across the related selections as singles.

Section 7. Cash Outs

Section 8. Patron Disputes

If escalating a query to our customer support team does not resolve any issue relating to a betting transaction to your satisfaction, you have the right to file a written complaint pursuant to Section 1.13 of these House Rules.

Section 1. Winner Markets

Predict the winner of the game/period/half/quarter/stated time range. If the market contains a Tie selection, then that will be graded as the winner in the event of a tied game/period/half/quarter/stated time range. Where a market does not have a Tie selection, bets will be pushed or dead heat.
Check individual sports for overtime rules

Section 2. Spread / Handicap Markets

Predict the winner of the game/period/half/quarter/stated time range, applying the given spread (handicap). In handicap betting, a team is awarded a “virtual” goal/points/set/games advantage. This advantage will be added to the official scores for grading purposes.

Check individual sports for overtime rules

Section 3. Total (Over/Under)

If a game is abandoned, bets will be cancelled unless settlement is already determined.

Example 1:

Team A vs Team B, Basketball. Event Total points, Over/Under on 203.5 points. Customer places a bet on over 203.5 points. Customer’s bet will win only when the total points score by both teams aggregated is more than 203.5 points.

Example 2:

Player A vs Player B, Tennis. Customer bets on 1st set, total games over 10.5. Customer’s bet will win if first set finished with at least 11 games played, otherwise bet is lost.

Example 3:

Team A vs Team B, Soccer. Customer bets on total goals for Team A under 2.5. Customer’s bet will win if Team A scores 2 goals or less, otherwise bet is lost.

‍
Example 4:
In a 3-way total, the line is set so that there is also a third outcome (equal or exact).
Team A vs Team B, Ice Hockey. Event Total has 3 outcomes: over 5 goals, under 5 goals or equal to 5 goals. There is no push outcome in this type of market, all bets either win or lose.

Section 4. Double Chance

A Double Chance market allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in a game with one bet. Double chance markets do not include overtime. The following options are available:

 Home or Tie – if the result is either a home win or a Tie, then bets on this option are winners.

Tie or Away – if the result is either a Tie or an away win, then bets on this option are winners.

Home or Away – if the result is either a home win or an away win, then bets on this option are winners.

Section 5. Winning Margin

Predict the team to win the game and the margin of victory.

Example 1: Football, Team A vs Team B. If the customer believes that it will be a close game, but Team A will win, the customer can select Team A to win by 1-6-point Margin. By this, the customer’s bet wins if Team A win by 1 up to 6 points. If Team A wins by 7 points or more, the customer’s bet will lose.

Example 2: Basketball, Team A vs Team B. If the customer believes that Team A will easily win, the customer is able to place a bet on Team A to win by 21 or more points. Bet will win only if Team A wins by 21+ points difference.

Section 6. Half-time/Full-Time

Predict the result of a game at halftime and at the end of regular time. In baseball, half time is defined as the first 5 innings of a game. The possible outcomes of this market are the following (Half Time result / Full Time result):

Home Team / Home Team

Home Team / Tie

Home Team / Away Team

Tie / Home Team

Tie / Tie

Tie / Away Team

Away Team / Away Team

Away Team / Tie

Away Team / Home Team

Example 1:

In a soccer event Team A vs Team B, the customer chooses Home / Tie. The customer’s bet will win if home team leads in the first half and the game ends in a tie. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count.

Section 7. Race to X

Predict which team will be the first to score X points in the game. Race market may also refer to Runs (Baseball), Corners (Soccer), Games (Tennis), Goals (Hockey), Points (Volleyball) etc.

Race to X can be offered for the entire game or any stated period. For instance, in a volleyball game ‘1st set race to X points’ or in a basketball game ‘1st quarter race to 15 points’. In 2-way market, selections are home and away team (or Player 1, Player 2). If a game ends before any team reaches the specific number of points, the market is considered cancelled, and stakes are refunded. In a 3-way market in addition to home and away there is the ‘none’ option, and if neither team reaches the total then the ‘None/Neither’ selection will be graded as the winner.

To Score Point X Predict which team will score the X point of the game. For example, in a basketball game if Team A has scored 24 points and Team B has scored 25 points, there is a current total of 49 points. The market ‘To Score Point 50’ will be won by the team that scores the next point, the point which takes the game total to 50.

Section 8. Highest scoring half/quarter/period

Predict in which half/quarter/period most points/goals will be scored. If two or more quarters/periods or halves have the same highest score, the Dead-heat rule applies unless equal outcome is offered. Check individual sport rules to determine if overtime is included / excluded.

Section 9. Odd/Even

Predict if accumulated goals/points/runs will add up to an odd or even number. When there is a zero score (for example no goals scored on a soccer game), Even will be declared the winner for grading purposes. If a game is abandoned, bets will be cancelled, unless an outcome is already determined. The market will be graded according to the specific terms of each sport.

Example 1:

Baseball, Team A vs Team B. The customer places a bet on Odd. The customer’s bet will win only if the total number of accumulated runs in the game add up to an odd number.

Example 2:

Basketball event, Team A vs Team B. The customer places a bet on Even number of points. The customer’s bet will win only if total number of accumulated points in the game will add up to an even number.

Section 10. To Qualify / Win the Cup / Advance to Next Round/ Win the Group or Division.

Section 11. Division, League and Conference betting

Section 12. Head-To-Head (H2H)

Predict which one of the teams/competitors in the Head-To-Head gets the best finishing result/position/points. Both participants in a H2H must start for bets to stand, and at least one of the participants has to finish with an official result. Otherwise, all bets will be cancelled, and full stakes will be refunded.

Section 13. Correct scores

Predict the score at the end of regulation time, unless stated otherwise.

Section 14. In Running Bet (Live bet)

When scores are displayed in running, every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the score, game situation, and clock. However, no liability is accepted for incorrect information displayed.

Section 15. Teasers

A teaser is a parlay bet where a patron can add extra points to his/her selection in a spread or totals market to increase the patron’s chances of winning. If any of the patron’s teased selections push, Hard Rock Bet ignores that selection for grading purposes and will be graded based on the selections which did not push, (e.g. a 4-team teaser where one team pushes becomes a 3 team teaser). This grading will be at reduced odds. If a teaser contains only one non-pushed selection, then the teaser is cancelled regardless of the outcome on that one selection. 3 selections are required for action where lines are teased by 10 points, all other teased lines require only two non-pushed selections for action.

Section 16. Same Game Parlay

A Same Game Parlay is a parlay bet where a patron makes multiple bet selections all occurring within the same event.

Section 17. Flex Parlay

A Flex Parlay is a parlay wager where a patron chooses multiple bet selections and a minimum number of correct selections needed to win the bet. For example, if a patron chooses 5 selections, the patron would be able to select either a number of 2, 3 or 4 of these 5 selections as the minimum number of correct selections required to win the bet. If a patron predicts at least 3 of 5 selections to win and ANY 3 of the 5 selections win, the Flex Parlay will be graded as a win.
PUSH/VOID/CANCELLED selections:
If a selection of a Flex Parlay becomes a push/void/cancel, the system will automatically adjust the Flex Parlay. Using the above example, if a selection is cancelled a ‘any 3 of 5 to win’ becomes a ‘any 2 of 4 to win’ and the odds will be updated in the system accordingly based on the remaining selections chosen.
If enough selections become pushed/voided/cancelled resulting in the patron’s correct selection prediction number becoming 1 or fewer, the Flex Parlay will be cancelled. In the above example, assuming 2 selections are cancelled, the entire bet would be cancelled as the correct selection prediction number becomes 1.
