Deductions | PlayWest Help Centre

A deduction occurs when us at PLAYWEST take a percentage off the fixed price of a runner due to one or more runners in the race being scratched after your bet was placed.

As per our terms and conditions, the table below outlines the applicable schedule of deductions.

For example:

You place a $10 bet on a horse with fixed odds of $2.50. There was a late scratching and there was a 36c deduction per dollar.

To calculate the payout:

$10 stake x $2.50 odds = $25 face value of ticket (this is what you would have been paid if there were no deductions)

$25 face value of the ticket x 36c deductions per dollar = $9 deducted amount

$25 face value of ticket - $9 deducted amount = $16 actual payout.

Where can I find the Deductions for a Specific Race?

You can locate the scratching's and deductions beneath the result page for a specific race.
