STAR SPORTS –YANKEE PREDICTOR TERMS & CONDITIONS

CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2026 (Tuesday 10th March – Friday 13th March)

Introduction

The Star Sports Yankee Predictor (“the Promotion”) is a daily free-to-play game based on a Yankee bet type (4 Selections – 11 Bets, 6 Doubles, 4 Trebles and 1 Four-Fold accumulator) across four horse racing events.

Participants must predict the winner of four horse races for a chance to win a £250 Free Bet.

The winner is determined by the total points returned from a Yankee bet type to a mythical 1 point stake.

By entering, players accept these Terms & Conditions.

Eligibility to participate is at the sole discretion of Star Sports.

Eligibility

The Promotion is open to:

UK & ROI residents. The promotion is available for active and existing customers with registered Star Sports accounts, aged 18 or over.

How to Enter

The Promotion is free to play.

Entries must be submitted before the scheduled start time of the first nominated race in the Yankee.

Players may change or edit their predictions as many times as they like until the first race starts.

The final prediction submitted before the first race starts will be the official entry.

Only one entry per customer is permitted per daily round.

Prediction Requirements

The final prediction submitted before the first race starts will be the official entry.

Players must submit a prediction for the winner of each of the four nominated races selected for each day of the Cheltenham Festival (10th March 2026 – 13th March 2026)

All outcomes are settled on the official result of each race.

Outcomes, race result and combined distances will be verified by the Racing Post.

Points System

A Yankee bet type consists of 11 predictions across 4 race selections:

6 doubles
4 trebles
1 four-fold accumulator
A minimum of 2 selections must be correct to generate a return
Each leg of your Yankee carries a mythical 1 point stake
Points are returned based on the Starting Price (SP) of each correct selection
Your overall score is the combined return across all winning legs of your Yankee

Example — a winning double:

If two of your selections win at 5/1 and 4/1:

A 1 point stake on a correct double of 5/1 and 4/1 double returns 30 points
Your total score is the sum of all winning doubles, trebles, and the four-fold combined.
The customer/player with the highest total points after all four races is the winner.
If multiple players finish on the same points total, the tiebreaker is used.

Tiebreaker

Players must also answer the tiebreaker question: “What will be the combined winning lengths across the four nominated races in the competition?”

The player with the closest answer wins.

If still tied, Star Sports may:

Award the prize to the earliest correct entry, or
Share the prize at its discretion.

Prizes

Main Prize

The prize is credited by midday the following day.

Star Sports may contact winners for verification if required.

All competition stakes and stake returns are mythical and there are no cash alternatives.
