theScore Bet Tennis Retirement Protection for Match Winner Bets
What Is Tennis Retirement?
Tennis Retirement is theScore Bet's retirement protection for wagers placed on the Match Winner market.
If a tennis match ends early because one player is forced to retire, Match Winner bets are settled using special rules instead of the sportsbook's standard grading policy. The goal is to give bettors more clarity and confidence whenever a match cannot be completed.
The promotion applies after the first set has been completed.
The offer is available from February 17, 2026, through January 1, 2027, making it a long-running promotion across the tennis calendar.

How Does It Work?
The outcome of your wager depends on which player retires.
If the player you backed retires after the first set has been completed, your Match Winner bet is voided, and your stake is refunded.
If your selected player advances because their opponent retires after the first set, your Match Winner wager is graded as a winner.
These rules apply only after one full set has been completed.
The Tennis Retirement policy applies to
- Match Winner wagers on tennis.
- Qualifying tennis matches available at theScore Bet.
Other betting markets, such as set betting, game handicaps, totals, player props, and other specialty markets, are not covered unless specifically stated otherwise.
Turnover: 1x Bonus Amount
Lowest odds: N/A

Added Protection During Tennis Season
Player retirements are an unavoidable part of professional tennis. Long tournaments, demanding schedules, and injuries can occasionally force players to withdraw before a match has been completed.
With its Tennis Retirement policy, theScore Bet offers clearer settlement rules for Match Winner wagers, giving bettors added protection and reducing the uncertainty that often comes with retirement scenarios.
The result is a more consistent approach to settling Match Winner wagers when a player retires.
