7.6 General Formula 1 Betting Rules
General Rules
Unless otherwise stated in bet type rules, results valid for settlement are those at the podium presentation.
If a race is shortened due to weather or other reasons and declared official, bets will be settled based on the results if full points are awarded.
If the race is postponed to another day (based on UTC), all bets will be void.
Unless otherwise stated, if the number of winners exceeds expected selections, the Dead Heat Rule applies.
Drivers starting from the pit lane will be placed last in the results.
Team Bet Types
Winner (Team), Top X (Team), and Head-to-Head (Team) bets are settled based on the team’s best final position.
First to Retire (Team) – determined by the team of the first retired car.
First Pit Stop (Team) – determined by the team of the first car entering the pit lane.
Fastest Lap Bet Type
The driver with the fastest lap in a specified lap, group of laps, or entire race is the winner.
Lap times are measured in milliseconds.
Head-to-Head and Group Winner Bet Types
If all selected drivers retire on the same lap, bets are void.
If any driver retires during or before the formation lap, bets are void.
Overtaking Bet Type Rules
Overtakes count only if the position is held until the end of the lap.
Overtakes on the first lap are excluded.
Overtakes during pit lane entry/exit against the same driver on the same lap are excluded.
Overtakes against cars that retire on the same lap are excluded.
Lapping or unlapping is not considered an overtake.
Retirement Markets
Cars not crossing the finish line when the session ends (except disqualifications) are considered retired.
If multiple drivers retire on the same lap as the first retirement, Dead Heat Rules apply.
Cars retiring in the pit lane are settled based on the last lap they started.
Pit Stop Bet Type
The car first entering the pit lane wins.
If a car enters the pit lane and retires there, it still counts as a pit stop.
Total Finishers Bet Type
Drivers are counted as finishers only if they cross the finish line when the session ends.
Q1 / Q2 End – Leader Bet Type
Q1 leader bets are settled based on Q2 starting results.
Q2 leader bets are settled based on Q3 starting results.
If a driver does not leave the pit lane during qualifying, bets on that driver are void.
Drivers qualifying for Q2 but not leaving the pit lose the Q2 leader bet.
If qualifying is cancelled but Q1 and Q2 are completed, bets are settled based on those sessions.
