Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Settlement of a rugby or cricket bet can take longer than the match, which makes these sports relevant to anyone watching how quickly a winning bet turns into cash.

Rugby union and league are priced with handicaps and winning margins; cricket with innings and match markets. Gaelic football, hurling and netball bring up the rear.

A Gambling Commission licence rests on the Gambling Act 2005, which covers England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is outside the Act, and the Great Britain licence therefore says nothing about betting there; Gaelic games make that gap most visible.
