Further Betting Rules

The Company may impose certain rules and restrictions in relation to the placing of market orders on this website. Such rules may change from time to time, according to market conditions and other factors. The following indicative rules are currently in place:

• Bets will not usually be offered at odds under 0.05-to-1 (i.e. payouts of under USD/GBP/EUR/AUD 1.05 for each USD/GBP/EUR/AUD 1 staked).
• Contracts are not usually offered in the last hour of trade of any given market (for foreign exchange markets, the restriction is extended to 2 hours).
• Contracts will not usually be offered when the underlying market is at its intraday high or intraday low.
• Contracts will not usually be offered during the first 15 minutes of market trade.
• During fast markets (i.e. periods of very fast market movements), contracts may be offered at prices more unfavourable than those offered in usual market conditions.
• Certain limits are imposed as to the acceptable levels for barrier/strike prices of contracts. Typically, the barrier/strike may not be too close nor too far from the current underlying market level.
• Contracts may not expire on a weekend; therefore the expiry date of a contract may be pushed back to the following Monday in the event of a contract expiry date falling on a Saturday or a Sunday.
• Stock and Stock index contracts may not be purchased outside of market opening hours.
• Stock index closing prices are determined by reference to the official Exchange closing price, which may be reported by the relevant Exchange 30-90 minutes after the closing time, and may differ from the latest tick price that occurred at the closing time.

A Trading Agent is a person or entity other than the Client, who is given the ability to buy and sell bets on behalf of the Client in the Client's Account.

Should you wish to proceed with appointing a Trading Agent you must read and agree to the following.

The Client authorises a Trading Agent and attorney in-fact for the purpose of buying and selling fixed odds financial bets through the Client's account at his/her sole risk. The Client hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Company for losses and all other liabilities that arise directly or indirectly through Client's or Trading Agent's transactions.

Upon appointment of a Trading Agent, the Client acknowledges and understands that the Company is hereby giving authorisation to follow the instructions of the authorised Trading Agent in every respect with regards to the Client's financial betting account with the Company, EXCEPT for the withdrawal of any funds from the Client's account. The Company will not in any way be liable or responsible for any buy or sell trading actions done on the Client's behalf by the Trading Agent, or for any losses incurred by the Trading Agent for the Client's Account. Furthermore, the Company does not endorse the Trading Agent nor does it vouch for the background, or experience of the Trading Agent, nor does the Company endorse any operating methods used by the Trading Agent, including when trading for the Client's account.

The Client acknowledges and understands that a Trading Agent authorisation may be revoked by the Client giving notice to the Company, however such revocation may require up to two business days processing time.

Information about the data feeds used by our company, and how the data is processed before being fed into the system.

Filtering Stray Ticks

Our servers apply a tick filtering algorithm. The purpose of this filtering algorithm is to strip the feed of stray ticks. Stray ticks are ticks that manifestly fall outside of the current trading range of the market; such ticks are often due to communication delays with the exchanges or banks that provide quotes, human error, or database problems at any point between the originator of the quote and our servers.

The filtering algorithm is based on a mathematical formula similar to the "Bollinger Bands" volatility system - i.e., short-term volatility bands are determined around the present market value, and ticks that are manifestly outside of such bands are removed.

Smoothing out random noise

Once stray ticks have been removed, a very short-term smoothing algorithm is applied to the data feed. This smoothing algorithm removes a little of the "random noise" surrounding the data feed, and ensures that customers who buy path-dependent contracts (such as the one-touch or barrier-range contracts) will not have their contracts knocked-in or knocked-out by random short-term market noise that does not reflect the true market price.

Differences with other data feeds

Our data feed may at times differ slightly from other data feeds found on the internet (who may themselves differ between each other). Reasons for differences in feed providers include:

• For forex: The forex market is an OTC (over the counter) market, where banks and other major financial institutions trade currencies amongst themselves without there being any central clearing house. Accordingly, there is no 'official' price source for forex quotes. Different data feeds will contain quotes from a different sub-set of international banks. Accordingly prices may differ between providers, depending on which bank(s) they obtain prices from.
• The smoothing and filtering algorithms described above.
• Market-closing times : Please refer to Market Opening Times page for the exact time of settlement for all bets. Other websites may adopt a different convention (for example some websites choose 4 o'clock NY time, or 5 o'clock London time). As a result, the open, high, low and closing prices displayed on our website may differ to those on other websites, due to the market-closing time convention.
• Use of bid/ask prices : when the market is illiquid, the data feed may contain many bid and ask prices, without there actually being any traded price for quite a while. By taking an average of the bid/ask price (i.e. bid + ask, divided by 2), a market quote is generated that reflects the current market, without it actually being a traded price. Our system will generate prices from these bid and ask prices, whereas other websites might not. As a result, our website might display ticks that do not appear in the data feeds of other websites.

Our data feed is designed to be one of the best and most robust available for a trading environment.

Number of quoted digits

Currency quotes are truncated to 5 digits and all contracts are purchased and settled based on 5-digit currency quotes. However, for the Run Bets only, a 6th digit is retained.

Weekend quotes

Please note that weekend quotes are ignored for the purpose of contract settlement. During weekends, the forex markets may occasionally generate prices, however these prices are often artificial (traders sometimes take advantage of the illiquidity of the markets during weekends to push up or down prices). To avoid settling prices based on such artificial prices, it is BetOnMarkets's policy not to count weekend prices towards bet settlement values (except for the random indices, which are open during weekends).

Contract Risks

The financial betting services contained within this site are only suitable for customers who are able to bear the loss of all the money they invest and who understand and have experience of the risks involved in the acquisition of financial betting contracts. Transactions in financial contracts carry a high degree of risk. If the purchased contracts expire worthless, you will suffer a total loss of your investment, which will consist of the contract premium. If you are contemplating purchasing deep-out-of-the-money contracts (where the strike/barrier price is far away from the current underlying spot price), you should be aware that the chance of such contracts becoming profitable ordinarily is remote.

Trading financial betting contracts involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all persons. Before deciding to trade financial bets you should carefully consider your objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. You should be aware of all the risks associated with financial betting and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

International currency, stock index or commodity prices are highly volatile and very difficult to predict. Due to such volatility, plus the bias in the pricing system favouring the website, no financial betting contract purchased in our system (whether or not the payout exceeds the premium amount) can be considered a safe bet.

Market Opinions

BetOnMarkets will not accept liability for any loss or damage, including but without limitation to, any loss of profit that may arise directly or indirectly from use of or reliance on such information.
