TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PARTICULAR GAMES
1. CASINO AND LIVE DEALER GAMES
Special rules for specific casino and Live Dealer games may be found on each specific casino or Live Dealer game page. Casino and Live Dealer games are further subject to all other general terms and conditions listed above in this agreement.
2. SPORTSBOOK GENERAL BETTING RULES
These Terms of Service were last updated on March 9, 2022, v1.4.
The GNOG Digital Online Sportsbook House Rules can be viewed on the sports portion of the website.
2.1 These betting rules are inseparably linked to our terms & conditions, of which they form a part, and acceptance of these betting rules is a prerequisite to account registration. Any capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall take their meaning from the Terms & Conditions.
2.2 GNOG AML Policy addresses due diligence procedures including, but not limited to, wagering. Any unusual or suspicious wagering activity, which includes the structuring of bets to avoid federal currency transaction thresholds, will be brought to the attention of Fraud & Payments Management for review and investigation. Such review also includes the requirements of CTR & SAR reporting in compliance with FinCEN regulations.
2.3 Golden Nugget will determine all minimum and maximum wagers on all Events. Your maximum amount for a bet, and therefore winnings, differs between sports, leagues, competitions and bet-types. When applicable, the lowest amount you can wager will be $0.01 (one-cent). The most you will be able to wager on any selection will be $10,000,000 (ten million dollars). You will see the exact $ value specified in the field where you enter the stake amount, when placing a bet. We make no guarantee that all bets placed within, or for the maximum stake, shall be accepted.
2.4 Golden Nugget reserves right to refuse the whole or any part of any bet request for any reason and at our sole discretion. Individual bet requests may be reviewed, and an alternative price/line or stake offered at our sole discretion.
2.5 Golden Nugget accepts bets made online. Bets are not accepted in any other form (email, telephone, fax, etc.) and if received will be void, win or lose. In order to use the system with your account, you must deposit funds into your account through any of the following means, which may include:
2.6 Golden Nugget reserves the right to refuse/cancel any bet or part of a bet before the game starts and to make ambiguous bets void. We reserve the right to correct obvious errors (palpable) and apply revised odds / lines for final settlement across pre-game and in-play wagering.
2.7 Customers cannot cancel or change a bet once the bet has been placed and confirmed. The Cashout feature is to be used at the customer discretion.
2.8 Bets will be accepted up to the advertised start time. If a bet is inadvertently accepted which includes an event after its start time, unless it is a live-betting event, the match/bet will be treated as a non-runner and voided.
2.9 Irrespective of which betting odds format you select for odds to be shown in your customer account, all bets will be settled based on American odds. American odds for wagering on the favorite work by showing how much money you would have to wager in order to win $100. When wagering on an underdog, the positive number shows how much you can win if you risk $100.
2.10 Where we have reason to believe that a bet is placed after the outcome of an event is known or after the selected participant or team has gained a material advantage (e.g. a score, sending off, etc.) we reserve the right to void the bet, win or lose.
2.11 Golden Nugget reserves the right to cancel any bets from customers who place money on an event where they are in any way involved, as participants, referee, coach, etc.
2.12 Golden Nugget reserves the right to withhold payment and to declare bets on an event void if we have evidence that the following has occurred: (i) the integrity of the event has been called into question or (ii) match-fixing has taken place. Evidence may be based on the size, volumes or pattern of bets placed with Golden Nugget across any or all our betting channels.
2.13 When an event is cancelled, all related bets will be void automatically and accounts refunded.
2.14 Dead-heat rules: If two, or more, selections finish in the same position, the stake will be divided proportionally. A dead-heat is calculated by dividing the stake proportionally between the number of winners in the event. In a two-way dead-heat (2 winners), your return will be half of what it could have been. Dead-heat rules are that it is the STAKE that is halved not the betting odds. In a three-way tie / dead-heat then the stake would be reduced to one third of the original stake. A $9 bet placed at 10/1 would become a $3 bet placed at 10/1.
2.15 If any game is abandoned due to injury, bad weather, crowd trouble, an event of boycott or protect, etc., all bets that have already been settled, until the time of abandonment, will stand. For example: If a soccer game is abandoned in the second half, all bets involving the 1st half will stand. What’s more, if there has been a goal scored, the first goal scorer market will stand, but the last and any time goal scorer bets will be void. For tennis: if a player retires injured in the 3rd set, all bets to win the 1st and 2nd sets will stand.
2.16 Golden Nugget does not accept any responsibility for typing, human or palpable errors, which lead to obvious price errors. In such cases all bets will be deemed void.
2.17 Multiple / Parlay bets that combine different selections within the same event are not accepted where the outcome of one affect or is affected by the other. If such a bet (related contingency) is taken in error, the bet will be cancelled.
2.18 Golden Nugget offers you the ability to bet in play on a variety of global sporting events and while we do make every effort to ensure all live betting information is accurate, there may be situations where such information is incorrect, due to delays or otherwise. When checking live betting odds, scores, statistics, live event start times or any other live event markets, please be aware that such information is provided as a guide only and we accept no liability for the outcome of any inaccuracies which may occur. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to check such information is accurate at the time of publication.
2.19 The official result is final for settlement purposes except where specific rules state the contrary.
2.20 The podium position in motor racing, winter sports and cycling and any similar official ceremony or presentation in other sports are to be treated as the official result. Winnings will be credited to the customer’s account following confirmation of the final result.
2.21 Golden Nugget reserves the right to void any or all bets made by any person or group of persons acting in an attempt to defraud us. This includes bonus abuse and syndicated (repeat bet) activity.
2.22 Golden Nugget reserves the right to void any bet that may have been accepted when the account did not have sufficient funds to cover the bet. If an account has insufficient funds as a result of a deposit that has been cancelled by the payment processing party, Golden Nugget reserves the right to cancel any bet that may have been accepted retroactively.
2.23 Fraud and Collusion:
