If an irregularity in either betting patterns or event outcome is confirmed by the governing authority, third-party or Us, We retain the right to void and/or refund any staked amount placed on the event at our discretion. In the case that any bets have already resulted, We retain the right to resettle the event outcome and confiscate any winnings associated.

12.6. We reserve the right to change the General Betting Rules from time to time. Where changes to the General Betting Rules are material, reasonable notice of the changes will be provided to You by publication on Our Websites.

In the event of a discrepancy or conflict, the Special Betting Rules prevail over the General Betting Rules. Should there be a break in communication after you place Your bet and/or You receive no visual confirmation that a bet has been successfully placed, but the bet is correctly received on our servers, the bet shall be deemed as valid and accepted. You will be informed whether You have won or lost once communication is re-established and result determined. If the bet is not received correctly on our servers due to a communication error, it shall not be regarded as valid and accepted; and the failed bet shall be returned to Your Account balance. If Moneyball accepts a bet and there is an obvious or palpable mistake on Moneyball’s part, Moneyball can void the bet and any failed bet will be returned to Your Account balance. Moneyball reserves the right to void any bet placed or received after the scheduled start time of the subject event.
