Wager in Europe<\/h1>\n

Definition of Wager<\/h2>\n

\n

Mutual promises between two persons that one will pay the other a certain sum of money if a certain event happens or is ascertained to have happened. At common law a wager constituted a good contract, unless it was contrary to public policy, morality or the like ; but by the Gaming Act, 1845, s. 18, all contracts by way of gaming or wagering are null and void, except so far as concerns subscriptions or contributions for prizes or money to be awarded to the winner of any lawful game, sport, pastime, or exercise<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
