Tennis, darts & cue sports
Individual sports settle quickly once the last point, dart or frame is played, so withdrawals of their winnings are often the first to be requested. The section looks at how those markets are written.
Tennis and darts head the list, snooker and golf follow, and the unusual ones (table tennis, badminton, padel, curling, chess) sit at the end. In golf the each-way terms are quoted from the market, because the number of places differs with the event and the operator.
No list of permitted markets exists in British law. Operators are licensed by category, for example real events, and decide the markets and their rules themselves.
