• Each Client may be issued a Client Betting Account before bets or wagers are accepted.

• The Client Account Balance is the difference between the unsettled wagers made by the Client and the sum of any Client Deposits and unsettled winnings payable by the Bookmaker for all settlement periods. If the unsettled wagers exceed the sum of Client deposits and unsettled winnings, then there is a debit balance. If the sum of Client Deposits and unsettled winnings exceed the unsettled wagers, then there is a credit balance.
• In relation to Clients that have been granted a maximum debit limit the settlement period shall, unless otherwise agreed, be weekly and shall end at midnight on Sunday of any week with respect to bets or wagers made by the Client and accepted by the Bookmaker during the preceding seven (7) day period.

If the bookmaker, in its discretion, allows a client to make a bet or wager even though the Maximum Debit Limit may be exceeded, the client shall settle its resultant Client Account Balance when next notified by the bookmaker. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the client's responsibility to monitor the balance of its Client Betting Account and if, for whatever reason the Client Account Balance exceeds its Maximum Debit Limit, it is the client's responsible to ensure that all amounts of the debit balance are settled in accordance with these terms.

Bets struck after the final field is declared are subject to refunds on scratched horses, and deductions may apply on remaining runners. The value of the deduction is determined by the price of the scratched horse as declared by the principal club.
• Best tote betting is available for all metropolitan gallops meetings. For all other racing venues and codes "best tote" will mean the better of only two totes. However, the bookmaker reserves the right to, from time to time at its discretion, replace the "Best tote" option with the average dividend paid by the totes operating on that particular meeting. ;
• If "Average" is selected in the betting form instead of "Best" the dividend will be paid as an average of the Australian TAB's (UniTab, Supertab, NSW Tab) betting on the race.

59. Australian gallops dividends for clients on the best tote service will be paid at better than the best dividend declared by the three major Australian TABs. This dividend is guaranteed to be better than three totes for any metropolitan gallops meetings. This means that all Win bets placed at "Best tote" dividend will be paid at greater than the best TAB dividend. Place bets and the place portion of each way bets will be paid at better than two of the three TAB dividends. For all other Australian gallops, harness racing, or greyhound racing, "Best tote" dividends will be paid at better than two of the three TAB dividends.

A maximum payout of $5,000 may be applied per account holder per race for greyhound and harness racing. For all international racing (outside Australia), "Best tote" dividends are guaranteed to pay greater than two Australian TABs. In the event that only two totes cover the race, an average of the totes betting will be applied. A maximum payout of $5,000 may be applied per account holder per race for international racing. In the event that only one Australian tote covers the race, Over The Odds will offer special quotes by telephone. All quinellas and trifectas wagers (also known as exotics) are guaranteed to pay greater than two totes. In the event that only two totes cover the race an average of the totes betting will be applied. The bookmaker reserves the right to limit the payout to the pool size of an exotic betting.

If two or more runners dead heat for first place, then there will be as many dividends as there are combinations of any two runners in the dead heat. If two or more runners dead heat for second place, then there will be as many dividends as there are combinations with the winner and the runners in the dead heat.
• Trifecta Betting Rules: A trifecta requires that the first three (3) place getters are nominated in order. In the event of a dead heat, there will be as many dividends as there are correct ordered combinations as declared by Unitab.

The result is the official result as first declared by the governing association of the match or the event as the full time result, notwithstanding the match or event being shortened, later changes of the official result and/or errors, unless otherwise stipulated by SportingPunt. Where odds are offered for both the "Normal time" result and the "Outright" result, (e.g. cup finals, etc.), the Client has the option of betting on either outcome.
