Any such errors shall be published on the Website. If any bet is taken in relation to such an error, it shall be accepted on the basis of the corrected information.
  3. If, in the opinion of TFP, it is not possible to administrate and distribute the Pool within a reasonable time due to circumstances beyond TFP’s reasonable control, TFP may decide to declare the Pool void, in which case all relevant Stakes will be refunded or, where possible (at TFP’s discretion), applied in full or in part as an Entry on behalf of the relevant Customer into the next Game.
  4. The Customer is not permitted to call at TFP’s premises to deliver an Entry(to place a bet).

  6. It is played on a neutral ground; or
  7. The venue of the Match is altered.
  8. TFP does not consider extra time as part of the Match and the score at the end of normal play (including injury time added on by the referee for stoppages) is taken as the final Result.
  9. TFP reserves the right to declare a Game as void if TFP considers (acting reasonably) that not enough Matches are played on the Game Date to declare a dividend, in which case all Stakes will be refunded or, where possible (at TFP’s discretion), applied in full or in part as an Entry on behalf of the relevant Customer into the next Game. TFP reserves the right to extend the time for a Match to be completed provided this does not unduly hamper the declaration of results and dividends.
  10. TFP reserves the right to withhold Winnings and/or to declare any individual Entry or Game void, or any individual Match to be a Void Match, if it reasonably believes that:
  11. The integrity of a Match has been called into question;
  12. The Pool has, or may have been, manipulated or its integrity has otherwise been called into question; and/or
  13. Match-rigging has, or may have, taken place.
  14. Such belief may be based on the size, volume or pattern of Entries placed across any or all Means of Entry or any announcement, investigation, instruction or decision made by any competent authority, sports body or other relevant authority or body.
  15. Abandoned, Cancelled, Rescheduled Matches or Any Match not completed by 7am (UK time) on the day after the last day on which matches in the Pool were scheduled, shall be deemed void. The times at which matches are completed will be as supplied by TFP’s official source.

  16. A Match played on the Game Date between a team listed on the left of the Match Listing and a team listed against it on the right of the Match Listing will stand as listed no matter what type of game it is or under whose jurisdiction it is played, unless it is determined to be a Void Match in accordance with paragraph (i), (ii) below.

(i) If in any Match two teams are listed as alternatives in either the left and/or right of the Match Listing, this will mean that the relevant team will be decided by the outcome of a football game played before the Game Date. This will become a Void Match if the relevant team is not decided before that Game Date.

(ii) If any Match listed on the Match Listing is started and/or completed before the Game Closing Time, such Match shall be deemed to be a Void Match and all predictions in respect of the Match shall be deemed to be a correctly predicted Result.

17. If TFP discovers more winners after a declared dividend has been paid, TFP will still pay Winnings to such persons, save that such Winnings shall be calculated on the basis of what such persons would have been entitled to receive if their winning Entry (ies) (together with all other post-declared dividend payout winning Entries) had been included at the time at which the declared dividend was paid (i.e. according to an amended dividend to that which was originally declared).

18. Any winning ticket has a 45-day period to be claimed as from the day that the dividend is declared, otherwise it will be considered as an expired ticket.

19. No bet can be cancelled once confirmed even if the game is not yet closed.

“The Rules”

1. GENERAL

  1. The Games are operated by TFP UK. TFP offers a range of Means of Entry to each Game. The Laws of England, including the Gambling Act 2005, apply to these Rules and to all Games conducted under them.
  2. TFP reserves the right to amend these Rules without notice and/or suspend the Game (or any part of it) in the event of war, earthquake, catastrophe, strikes or the occurrence of any other event beyond its reasonable control.
  3. Despite every effort to ensure complete accuracy, TFP is not responsible for any typing, human or obvious error which leads to any errors or omissions, including (without limitation) game dates, coupon errors, publishing estimated Prize funds and Pools or announcing dividends or results other than those intended, or bets being taken which contravene these, Rules. Any such errors shall be published on the Website. If any bet is taken in relation to such an error, it shall be accepted on the basis of the corrected information.
  4. The Customer is not permitted to call at TFP’s premises to deliver an Entry.

2. THE GAME

The Game is based on Lines, which are formulated from the Customer’s predictions (on whether both teams will score) for the 35 Matches on the Match Listing. Customer must select 8 matches out of 35.

3. MAKING ENTRIES

  1. To constitute an accepted Entry, such Entry (and the predictions made for that Entry) must be recorded on TFP’s central computer system by Closing Time. Any Entry recorded as having been received after Closing Time will not be accepted by TFP and will be invalid. Note that Closing Time for Mauritius Players in some minutes earlier.
  2. Any Entry which is not made in accordance with these Rules will be invalid.
  3. For the avoidance of doubt, TFP has no responsibility, and accepts no liability of any kind whatsoever, for an Entry (however submitted) or Stake associated with an Entry until the same are received and accepted by TFP in accordance with these Rules.
  4. TFP shall not be under any obligation or have any responsibility to notify a Customer of an Entry that is invalid or void under these Rules. In such circumstances, the Stake shall be refunded or where possible (at TFP’s discretion), applied in full or in part as an Entry on behalf of the relevant Customer into the next Game.

4. DIVISION OF POOLS

  1. The percentage of the Pool allocated to each Prize level shall be determined by TFP. All dividends declared are subject to rescrutiny.
  2. Each Prize fund is divided amongst all winning Lines at that Prize level in proportion to the Stake paid for each winning line (save in relation to free offers where a Stake shall be deemed to be the full amount that would have been paid if the relevant Entry had not been made on the basis of the free offer).
  3. TFP will declare the dividend payable in respect of the Pool for each of the Prizes by reference to the Full Stake per Line. TFP will publish details of the dividend payable on the Website.
  4. Winners with 7 or 8 correctly predicted Results (i.e. both teams to score in a Match on the Match Listing) will receive the declared winning amount for 7 or 8 correctly predicted Results respectively as shown on the Website for the relevant Game Date subject to paragraph 5.4 above.
  5. If there is no winner with 7 correctly predicted Results, the Prize fund for this level will be added to the Prize fund for 8 correctly predicted Results. If there is no winner with 8 correctly predicted Results, the Prize fund at this level will be rolled over to the next Game’s 1st Prize fund (or such other following Game’s 1st Prize fund as may be determined by TFP UK).
  6. If the total value of the Stake for the winning lines at any level is less than the Full Stake per Line, the proportionate remainder of the Prize fund at that level is distributed as in paragraph 5.6.
  7. If TFP UK discovers more winners after a declared dividend has been paid, TFP will still pay Winnings to such persons, save that such Winnings shall be calculated on the basis of what such persons would have been entitled to receive if their winning Entry (ies) (together with all other post-declared dividend payout winning Entries) had been included at the time at which the declared dividend was paid (i.e. according to an amended dividend to that which was originally declared).

5. PRIZES

  1. There are two Prizes:
    1st (8 correctly predicted Results)
    2nd (7correctly predicted Results)
  2. Each Line can only qualify for one Prize.

6. WINNINGS

  1. The means of payment of Winnings shall depend on the Means of Entry.
  2. Any query regarding Winnings should be made within six weeks from the relevant Game Date to which such query relates using the contact details set out in the Means of Entry.
