References as to the time of goal(s) or points scored as stated in official league/club website, media website or "live score" website may be considered for guidance purposes but shall not be binding on the Operator in its determination of time.
23.13 Where the Operator has reason to believe or suspect that a live bet has been placed after the outcome of a live event is known or if delayed "live" television coverage results in a live bet being placed at the incorrect price after the selected participant has gained an advantage (to be determined at the Operator's sole discretion), the Operator shall be entitled to treat the bet as void without having to provide any reason whatsoever.
23.14 In the event of any technical malfunction, including the crashing of its website or suffers any downtime which hinders, delays or prevents the Operator from accessing its website to update the score, odds or handicap, the Operator reserves the right to cancel all pending bets placed at the time of the incident.

Where a live event is interrupted in the course of play, causing the event to be postponed or abandoned, any bets taken on such postponed or abandoned events that are not restarted within 12 hours from the event commencement time (unless specifically provided for in a particular sports' betting rule) shall be void.
