Combat & motorsport

Fights and races sell in bursts around a single event, so apps push their prices hard in the hours before the first bell or the first lights. This section describes what is on offer.

Boxing, MMA and UFC form one pillar of the section, Formula 1, NASCAR and cycling the other. Typical lines: outright winner, how the win comes, which round, podium places, quickest lap.

Adverts for apps often use athletes, so the CAP Code steps in: a person under 25, or appearing to be, cannot be shown gambling or given a significant role. Who stars in an ad is one thing; the minimum age to bet remains 18.
