5. Bet Settlement
5.1 All winning bets will be settled at the prices shown on Meridianbet at the time the bet was accepted. This does not include palpable errors *or any post-game disputes by either team that alters the final outcome of a game at a later point.
5.2 A number of circumstances may arise where a bet or wager is accepted, or a payment is made, by us in error. A non-exhaustive list of such circumstances is as follows:
5.2.1 where we mis-state any odds or terms of a bet or gaming wager to You as a result of obvious error or omission in inputting the information or setting up a market, or as a result of a computer malfunction;
5.2.2 where we have made a ‘palpable error'. A palpable error occurs where:
5.2.2.1 in relation to bets placed prior to an event taking place, the prices/terms offered are materially different from those available in the general market; or
5.2.2.2 in relation to any event, the price/terms offered at the time the bet is placed are clearly incorrect given the probability of the event occurring;
*A palpable error could be any incorrect information published in regard to an event. For example, incorrectly (reversed) setup handicap, wrong team/teams/participants, incorrect deadlines or technical errors etc.
7. Related Bets
7.1 Multiple bets that combine different selections within the same event are not accepted where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other.
For example, in a Football match involving Manchester United, two selections may be: Manchester United to win 2-0 and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney to be scorer of the first match goal.
The bets are related as Wayne Rooney's goal-scoring performance would influence Manchester United winning the match 2-0. A double combining the above selections is not possible using their market prices.
Special prices may be offered for the combined eventuality. When a special price is not available and such a bet is taken in error, it will be settled as two single bets with the stake equally divided.
7.2 Multiple bets that combine selections that are resolved at different times but still within the same tournament. These bets will be settled as instructed with the price of the second or subsequent selection being determined at each individual stage.
For example, in a Tennis tournament two selections may be: Roger Federer to win the semi-final of Wimbledon and Roger Federer to win the Wimbledon tournament outright.
As the odds of the second selection depends on the outcome of the first, the odds of Roger Federer winning the tournament at the time the bet was accepted cannot be used to calculate the double odds. The correct odds after the initial selection is completed will be attributed instead.
7.3 Multiple bets that combine selections within different events where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other.
7.4 In the case of all multiples including selections with related outcomes, if a bet is taken inadvertently Meridianbet reserves the right to void part of or the whole of the bet.
8. Ante Post Bets
8.1 Ante post bets are those placed at prices on named selections taking part in an event before it has started. Bets are accepted all in, run or not, entered or not, which means that should your selection fail to take part in an event, the bet is a loser unless our rules for an individual sport specifically state otherwise.

RACING
Abandoned /Postponed Races or Meetings
Bets will be void if:
The race is abandoned.
The race is declared void.
Any of the race conditions or entries change.
If the overnight declarations do not stand, all bets are void.
Re-scheduled Races or Meetings
If a race or meeting is re-scheduled to later in the day, or to another day and overnight declarations stand (meaning that the race is not reopened) then all bets stand, unless a refund is requested prior to the off of the re-scheduled race. If a Board or Early Price has been taken on a re-scheduled race, bets will revert to SP. Horses which came under Starter’s orders in the original race but do not take part in the re-scheduled race will be treated as non-runners and returns on the remaining runners will be subject to Tattersalls’ Rule 4.
If the overnight declarations do not stand, all bets are void.
Amendments after the official result
Where a result is amended after the official result (i.e. the weigh-in), for example as a result of a successful appeal, the amendment will be ignored for settlement purposes.
First Past the Post (FPP)
All bets placed on UK and Irish horse racing will be settled on First Past the Post AND the official result.
This offer applies to winning single and multiple bets and the win part of Each-Way bets. There is no restriction on staking, and payouts are subject to our advertised payout limits.
Exceptions
The exceptions where First Past the Post does not apply and bets are only settled according to the official result are:
A selection taking the wrong course
A selection carrying the wrong weight or the jockey failing to weigh-in
Any Ante Post bet
A Forecast or Tricast bet
A void race
Any Tote/Pari-Mutuel bet
A selection given as the winner in error by the judge
A bet placed on a two-runner race or a special match bet
A bet placed in a “without the favourite” market
Any other special market
Horse racing bets placed on non-UK/Irish meetings are settled on the official result declared by the racecourse judge and confirmed by the ‘Weighed-In’ announcement. If a winner is disqualified after the official result is announced, the disqualification will not affect the settlement of bets.
Early Prices
Our Early Prices (that is prices offered after the overnight declarations are made) are available daily on selected races up to the first racecourse Show.
No Official Starting Price returns
We have revised our betting rules in order to provide the fairest settlement of bets for our customers in the case of no Official Starting Price.
If no Official Starting Price or Industry Off Course Starting Price is returned, your bet will be settled at Tote odds.
Place Prices
Place prices are formed as follow:
Fewer than 5 runners – All To Win
5-7 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2
8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3
Show Prices Accepted
You can take the current Show Price on your bet, provided there are 3 or more runners. If a horse is withdrawn from a race, no further Show Prices will be available until a new market has been formed. Show Prices are relayed directly from the racecourse and displayed on our screens as part of our service.

Over 14/1 No deduction
In the event of there being two or more withdrawals in one event, the total deduction shall not exceed 90p per £1.
Two runner races
If a race has 2 runners, all bets are accepted at Early Prices, Board Prices and Show Prices. Forecast bets are not accepted on 2 runner races. If a Forecast bet is accepted in error then it will be made void.
If a race is reduced to 2 runners because of non runners then Rule 4 rules will apply and Forecast/Tricast bets will be made void.
Unnamed favourites
Bets nominating the favourite are accepted where available on certain horse or greyhound races at Starting Price only.
The favourite is the selection returned at the shortest odds. When the favourite is nominated and two or more runners start at the shortest odds, then stakes are equally divided over the 'joint' or 'co' favourites created.
For example, if you place £10 on ‘unnamed favourite’ and there are two favourites, you will get a £5 bet on each of them.
Bets on the favourite are win only. If an Each-Way bet is accepted in error the place part will be void win or lose.
Walkovers / Void races
All bets on races declared a walkover or declared 'void' will be void, win or lose.
Withdrawals / Non-Runners
If a horse comes under Starter's Orders but refuses to race, the bet will be a loser.
In all horse races where a runner is withdrawn, or adjudged not to have started - and therefore been declared a Non-Runner by the starter - stakes on that selection will be refunded.
Bets on the remaining runners in that race, taken at Early Prices or at Show Prices prior to withdrawal, will be subject to a deduction. This is based on Tattersalls Rule 4 and is dependent on the Non-Runner's price at the time it was withdrawn.
In reformed markets, the total deduction on the two or more horses - one in the original market and one in the reformed market - will be calculated on the prices applicable in the original market.
Bets on horses in subsequent markets that then have one or more withdrawn horses will have a deduction calculated on the prices applicable to that market at the time of the withdrawal.
In the event that there is insufficient time to form a new market on the race, S.P. bets may also be subject to a deduction based on Tattersalls Rule 4.
Dead Heats
"Dead heat" is a term that generally describes when two participants in an event tie for first and second place. If a "dead-heat" is declared on any event, half the stake is applied to the selection at full odds and the other half is lost. If more than two "dead-heat", the stake is proportioned accordingly."
Win
If two or more horses dead heat for first place, then each horse in the dead heat is a winner.
Place
If two horses dead heat for first place, they fill the first two places. If three horses dead heat for first place, they fill the first three places, and so on.
If two horses dead heat for second place, they fill the second and third places. If three horses dead heat for second place, they fill the second, third and fourth places.
