Rugby, cricket & Gaelic
Rugby and netball share basketball’s use of handicaps and margins, but the geography of these games adds a legal point that court sports in Britain do not raise.
Rugby union and league, cricket, Gaelic football and hurling are covered, with handicaps and winning margins on the rugby side and innings and match markets on the cricket side.
Great Britain means England, Scotland and Wales for the purposes of the Gambling Act 2005 and Gambling Commission licensing. Northern Ireland is outside the Act, which means a Great Britain licence has nothing to say about betting there, a point that bites hardest on Gaelic fixtures.
