Horse Rules and Regulations

HORSE RACING INTERFACE

Sportsbook.ag offers daily racing from tracks within the USA (and some other regions) via the racing interface which is accessible once you have logged-in to your wagering account.

We accept wagers up until post time. We cannot assume liability for wagers that are unsuccessfully entered before post time. Before logging-out, please check your Active Wagers on the Reports menu to make sure your bets were accepted.

Once you submit a bet online, your wager is considered final.

Bets shall not be accepted after post-time. In the event that the race begins before the advertised post-time and for that reason (or any other reason) you are able to place a wager after the race has started, that wager will be void.

Odds and Limits

Each event has a bet limit (typically $1,000.00).

Win, Place, Show wagers pay full track odds. All Exotic wagers pay full track odds up to the maximum pay-outs as shown in the tables below.

Payouts are based on the actual track payout. The morning lines provided when wagering on the Horse Racing Interface are for informational purposes only and not used to calculate the payout.

There are no house odds. If there are no track payoffs for a certain type of wager, all wagers on that type will be refunded.

In the event that there is evidence of pool manipulation, all affected wagers will be deemed void and all monies wagered on the affected wagers will be refunded.

Management reserves the right to refuse or limit any wager and to restrict wagering on any event at any time without any advance notice.

Scratches
 
If a horse is scratched, all Win/Place/Show wagers placed via the racing interface will be refunded. (This does not apply to 'Odds to Win' bets placed via the sports betting interface. On those bets a scratch counts as a loss).

In the case a horse is considered a non-starter by the track, that horse will be considered a scratch and refunded accordingly.

Coupled entries: If one of the horses in a coupled entry is scratched and the other one races, there is no refund. However, if both horses are scratched, bets are refunded.

In exotic wagers (Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Quinella) the portion containing the scratched horse will be refunded. We do not honor 'all' payouts in any exotic wager even though the track may do so. In the case that there is an 'all' payout on a particular race, we will replace the 'all' payout with the rightful winner of that race and/or position.

On Daily Doubles, Pick 3 and Pick 4 wagers, a scratch will result in an automatic refund of the combination including the scratched horse. There will be no consolation payouts. No special track payouts will be recognized:

Pick 3 and Pick 4 Grading and Payout Rules

All PK3 and PK4 tickets are paid out based on the official race results as published by the host track at which the race was run. If there is a scratched horse in any PK3 or PK4, only combinations including the scratched horse will be refunded

We do not recognize consolation payouts, such as payouts on scratched horses, 2 out 3 special Pick 3 payout and/or 3 out of 4 special Pick 4 payout. Whenever a track pays "ALL" in any of the positions of the Pick 3 or Pick 4 only wagers with the WINNING horse will be paid. In case a race is declared 'No Contest' the position 'ALL' is not valid and bets will be refunded.

Daily Double Grading and Payout Rules

All Daily Double tickets are paid out based on the official race results as published by the host track at which the race was run. If there is a scratched horse in a DD, only combinations including the scratched horse will be refunded.

We do not recognize consolation payouts, such as payouts on scratched horses. Whenever a track pays "ALL" in any of the positions of the Daily Double only the wagers with the WINNING horse will be paid. In case a race is declared 'No Contest' the position "ALL" is not valid and bets will be refunded.

Notes:

All Horse Bonuses will have a 5x rollover, bonuses will expire 14 days after credit.

International Races

We list each International horse separately concerning betting types. We do not list a (F)Field entry for betting purposes on races. Example if a races lists horses 1-20 then a field of entries 21-30, we list all 1-30 separately.

Official Source of Results

For thoroughbred racing we use www.equibase.com as our official source of results. For harness racing we use www.ustrotting.com or the tracks' websites.

In the event of a discrepancy, we will contact the track for the official result.
