Politics

General

Bets on elections will be settled on the official declared result, regardless of any subsequent disqualification or amendment to the result.

For leadership elections, ‘temporary’ or ‘caretaker’ leaders installed in advance of any scheduled leadership contest or official selection process will not count. The winner of any such election or process will count as the Next Leader, irrespective.

UK Politics

Next Prime Minister

Bets will always be settled on whoever takes up the office, even in advance of a party leadership contest. Anyone invited to form a UK government by the Monarch will count as Prime Minister for these purposes.

Voter Turnout Markets

Bets will be settled on UK-wide turnout on polling day.

Vote Percentage Markets

Will apply to the percentage of the registered vote which the named party receives in the UK as a whole at the next UK general election.

Constituency Markets

All markets are for the next general election unless otherwise stated. Other runners may be added at any time as they declare or on request. Constituency betting is available as singles only. Bets placed in advance of any boundary changes implemented will be void.

Most Seats Markets

Unless otherwise stated, the Speaker does not count, and Northern Ireland seats do not count.

Postponed and Re-run Seats

Any seat which requires a postponement of the vote to a later date and is not held on general election day, will still count for the purposes of Seat Totals or Majority Betting.

US Politics

Presidential Election Winner

Bets will be settled according to the candidate that has the most projected Electoral College votes won at the presidential election.

If no Presidential candidate receives a majority of the projected Electoral College votes, this market will be settled on the person chosen as President in accordance with the procedures set out by the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This market will be settled once both the projected winner is announced by the Associated Press and the losing candidate concedes. If the losing candidate does not concede, or if there is any uncertainty around the result (for instance, caused by recounts and/or potential legal challenges), then the market will be settled on the winner decided by Congress, on the date on which the Electoral College votes are counted in a joint session of Congress.

If there is any material change to the established role or any ambiguity as to who occupies the position, then we will determine (acting reasonably) settlement based on all the information available to us at the relevant time, including by waiting for further official announcements before the market is settled.

Presidential State Betting

Bets will be settled based on the party which wins the popular vote on the statewide vote share.

State Primaries/Caucuses

Bets will be settled on the candidate who receives the highest number of pledged delegates as declared by the individual state parties immediately after the primary/caucuses. Subsequent corrections or alterations will not be taken into account.

Party Candidates for Presidential Election

Bets will be settled on the official decision made at each party's national convention in the year of the presidential election

Any subsequent withdrawals or overturning of the choice made at the convention will be irrelevant for the purposes of this market.

Senate/House of Representatives Majority (US Congressional Elections)

A majority of seats requires either party to control more than half of the seats following the elections. Independent or any other party Senators caucusing with either the Democrats or Republicans will not count for the purposes of this market.

Irish Politics

Post-Election Government Betting

A coalition is defined as any arrangement which results in representatives of all of the parties named having cabinet ministers in the first reformed cabinet after the election (and no other parties having cabinet ministers). The coalition selection will be settled as a winner in the market if these conditions are met, this is regardless of the fact that the coalition may operate as a minority government.

Constituency Markets

All markets are for the next general election unless otherwise stated. Other runners may be added at any time as they declare or on request. Constituency betting is available as singles only. Bets placed in advance of any boundary changes implemented will be void.

Ceann Comhairle

The Ceann Comhairle, while automatically re-elected, will count towards their party’s seat total in all relevant general election markets.

Taoiseach After Next Election

The market will be settled on the first person appointed by the President upon the nomination of Dail Eireann after the general election.
