Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Winning-margin and handicap markets give multiples in these sports a different feel from the football accumulator. This section looks at the games and at the borders of the law.

Rugby union and league are priced on handicaps and margins, cricket on innings and match markets. Gaelic football, hurling and netball complete the set.

Great Britain means England, Scotland and Wales: the Gambling Act 2005 and a Gambling Commission licence stop there. Northern Ireland sits outside the Act, so for Gaelic games above all a Great Britain licence says nothing.
