Accumulator Bets
Accumulator bets are much like bet builders but include multiple winners from different games/ matches as part of the overall bet. For example, you could bet on five players to win at the Australian Open, and if all five win, you would win the bet. If one lost, you would lose.
In-play betting
In-play betting lets you put bets on during a match or game and utilises dynamic odds, which change as the tournament progresses and unfolds.
