Or. Admin. R. 177-093-0045 - Voided Bets, Refunds, and Resettlements
(1) In order to maintain the fairness,
integrity, security, and honesty of the Lottery and its operations, the Lottery
reserves the right to void any share or bet at any time for any reason, even
after the bet has been settled, including, but not limited to, when:
(a) The Lottery knows or has reason to
believe that the player has engaged in conduct prohibited by any applicable
source of law, including but not limited to conduct prohibited by OAR
177-046-0022 or 177-093-0050;
(b)
The Lottery knows or has reason to believe that the player does not meet all of
the eligibility requirements in OAR 177-046-0022 or 177-093-0015, or the
Lottery is unable to verify any of the information that the player provided in
order to establish the player account;
(c) The Lottery knows or has reason to
believe that the bet was not placed in accordance with all of the requirements
of OAR 177-093-0020;
(d) The
Lottery knows or has reason to believe the underlying integrity of the sporting
event is in question. This includes, but is not limited to, when the Lottery
believes a sporting event has been fixed or an individual who placed the bet
had unfair advantage because of access to information about an athlete or the
sporting event or was in any way involved in the sporting event such as, but
not limited to, as a participant (professional or amateur athlete), sports
agent, team owner, team employee, league official, referee, coach or similar
associated individual or the individual who placed the bet is an immediate
family member of such involved or associated person;
(e) The bet was accepted when the account did
not have sufficient funds to cover the original bet amount; or
(f) As provided in the terms and conditions,
terms of use, or in-game rules.
(2) A player may not initiate a refund on a
confirmed bet for any reason.
(3)
The Lottery has discretion to issue a refund to players on a confirmed bet only
in the following circumstances:
(a) The
Lottery has voided a bet under section (1) of this rule.
(b) The Lottery is unable to satisfactorily
determine official event results because the sporting event was not held,
meaning the sporting event was cancelled or abandoned before completion for
reasons including, but not limited to, player illness or inclement
weather.
(c) The Lottery has reason
to believe the bet was accepted, placed, or confirmed after the advertised
start time (except for an in-game bet), the outcome of the sporting event is
known, or a material advantage had been achieved, such as, but not limited to,
scoring a goal or touchdown or expulsion of an athlete.
(d) The integrity of the sporting event
itself is uncertain, such as, but not limited to, suspected cheating or athlete
use of prohibited performance-enhancing drugs.
(e) The game resulted in a circumstance that
warrants refund in the in-game rules.
(f) When otherwise provided for in the terms
of use or in-game rules.
(g) At the
discretion of the Lottery for any other reason.
(4) Resettlements: From time to time,
operator errors may occur or the governing body may overturn a call or change
the final results or score of a sporting event.
(a) Operator error. A player is not entitled
to a prize paid in error. The Lottery may recover any such prizes.
(b) Change in official event results. If the
governing body changes a sporting event result before making the result
official, the Lottery may resettle bets to align with the results of the
governing body. However, once the governing body makes final results official
and the Lottery accepts them as the official event results, the Lottery shall
not recognize any changes to the final score or particular calls within the
sporting event.
(5)
Prize Forfeiture: As stated in OAR 177-093-0040, a player forfeits their prize
when the Lottery voids, invalidates, refunds, or resettles a bet.
