Today, Betfair is one of the largest international online sports betting operators and the world's biggest betting exchange. We have a significant presence in the UK and Ireland as part of Flutter's UK&I division, but also operate within many international territories as part of Flutter International.

Betfair's decision to close in Germany comes on the same day as passage of the 4^th Interstate Treaty on Gambling (IST) into law. The treaty, which has been in the works for the last 24 months, creates a national regulatory regime for sports betting in Germany.

Similarly, Period Betting for hockey is available (i.e. 1st Period Result and 60 Minute Result). Draw/Tie No Bet. "Draw No Bet" or Tie No Bet  is where it is possible to bet on either the home team or the away team. It is also common practice to refer to "Tie No Bet" in cases where no tie odds are offered.

A Tie No Bet is a bet on which team will win the game outright. This differs from a Moneyline bet because Draws are not an option. If the game ends in a tie, the bet is ruled a push and your money is refunded.
