Rainbet tennis retirement and disqualification rules

Identical to Roobet's and Duel.com's, because all three are one platform: unsettled markets void on a retirement or walkover, and anything already mathematically certain is settled.

RetirementDisqualification

Their published rule does not name disqualification. The answer above is how they settle one in practice, from our own trading experience rather than a clause we can quote.

The rule, in their words

“In the event of a Retirement, Walkover, or early Match termination before the scheduled number of sets/games is completed, all unsettled Markets for the relevant Match not already determined under Rule 2.3.3, will be Voided.”

Where this comes from. Roobet, Rainbet and Duel.com run the same white-label sportsbook platform, and this is that platform's tennis rule with its original numbering. It is not published on any of their public sites, so unlike every other entry here there is no page to send you to. Ask support to confirm before a bet you care about.

Other markets

Rule 2.3.3, the Natural Conclusion Principle, is the useful part and almost nobody publishes its equal: "A Market shall be settled if, at the time of Retirement or Abandonment, its Outcome has already been unconditionally determined and could not be altered by any remaining possible play should the Match be played to its natural conclusion." Their own worked examples: a set abandoned at 4-4 settles Over 9.5 games as won and Under 9.5 as lost, while Over/Under 10.5 is void; a best-of-three abandoned at 6-4 4-6 settles Over 25.5 as won and Under 25.5 as lost, with Over/Under 26.5 void; a match abandoned at 6-4 4-6 5-5 wins a +2.5 handicap and loses a -2.5, voiding everything between -2 and +2; and a match abandoned at 6-4 2-0 settles Player A Over 7.5 games as won, Under 7.5 as lost, Over 8.5 void.

Worth knowing

Rainbet's public clauses are byte-identical to Roobet's under identical section numbers, which is how the shared platform was confirmed. Duel.com runs it too. The rule never names disqualification, but a default voids here in practice.

Common questions

Does Rainbet void tennis bets when a player retires?

Yes, for markets still unsettled. Markets whose outcome could no longer change are settled instead, under the natural- conclusion rule their platform applies.

Is Rainbet the same sportsbook as Roobet?

Not the same company, but the same white-label platform and the same rulebook - their published clauses are word-for-word identical under identical section numbers.

Does Rainbet pay out a handicap bet on an abandoned tennis match?

Only where the result was already beyond doubt. Their example: a match abandoned at 6-4 4-6 5-5 wins a +2.5 handicap and loses a -2.5, while everything between -2 and +2 is void.
